Author's Note: Hello! I am posting this as a part of an assignment for my creative writing class. We needed to create a fic, post it, and get feedback from readers about what we could do better. I'd really appreciate any comments I could get so that I can improve as a writer. Thanks in advance!

In the town of Riverdale, Archie Andrews was standing in Pops. Archie gets a call that his father got hit by a car. He gets up quickly and grabs his jacket. He rushes to the car and drives to his dad. He finally gets to the part where he finds his dad's truck parked on the side of the road with ambulances on the other side. The paramedics look for his dad, but he's gone.

Archie walks over to the police. ''Where is my dad?''

As his mother hears Archie's voice and runs over to him. ''Sweetheart, they can't find him. He disappeared.''

Archie was broken and angry he didn't know what to say to his mother. Fred continues to crawl through the woods. As he finds a sheltered place and supplies to fix his wounds. Archie knew that his dad was going to be alright. Archie and his mother went home and sat on the couch worried and sad. Fred sat in a sheltered area until he was all bandaged up and was ready to find a better place to go. No one knew where he was as days went by there was still no sign of Fred. But the town of Riverdale had bigger problems to worry about, Hiram Lodge was making a prison and coming up with a new town called Sodale.

Archie turned on the TV the next morning to the news to see Hiram's face plastered all over the screens.

A younger lady with emerald, green eyes and brown hair starts talking.

''In today's news Hiram Lodge, the biggest multi-billionaire, built a new prison and a new town so-called Sodale.''

Archie's eyes got big and yelled ''Mom!''

As Archie's mom came down the stairs. ''What is it, Archie?''

Her eyes traveled to the TV as they got big. ''You gotta be kidding me.''

Archie and his mom stare at the TV as Betty, Jughead, and Veronica knock on the door

Archie looks at the door. ''Come on in.''

As the three walk-in Betty looks at Archie. ''Did you see the news.''

Archies looks at her. ''Yeah, it's nuts.''

Veronica looks at them. ''He never backs down I'll talk to him.''

Veronica goes home and walks into her dad's office.

''Daddy what are these foreseeable circumstances?'' she crosses her arms.

''Oh, Mija, it's going to turn out how I plan it to go.'' he stands up.

''Oh, daddy I'll shut down every plan you have.'' Veronica walks out of her dad's office.

Chad calls Veronica ''Hey Veronica.''

She rolls her eyes, ''Why are you calling me Chad. we are over, remember.''

Chad hangs up the phone without saying a word. Veronica goes and drives back over to Archie's house. Everyone was sitting in the living room talking about Hiram and Fred. Veronica walks in and flops gently on the couch next to Betty annoyed

''What's wrong V?'' Betty looks at her.

Veronica looks at her ''Just my dad and Chad, he never leaves me alone. You end things with someone, and they think it's an invitation to keep calling you.'''

Archie looks at veronica. ''Ronnie, they are trying to do something well at least your dad is I don't know about Chad.''

as Archie leans back into the couch as he takes a sip of his drink. Everybody just looks at each other and stays silent. The TV flickers change from different scenes. The news comes back on as the news lady comes back

''Incoming news Chad Gekko got arrested for stealing. He's now locked up in the prison owned by Hiram Lodge.''

As everyone looks at each other. ''Are you serious?'' Jughead looks at Veronica.

''He will get out in two point five secs.'' Betty crosses her arms.

Everyone gets up, ''Let's go to my dad's office'' Veronica gets her stuff and goes to her car.

They all get in Veronica's car as Archie drives everyone to Hiram's house. They get there and get out and go in and go up to Hiram's office. Hiram looks up from his work and sees the four of them standing in his office doorway.

Hiram takes off his classes and takes a sip of his whiskey. ''Mija, what do I owe this honor?''

Veronica looks at him ''Why is Chad in your prison instead of another one?''

Well, I thought Chad would be more comfortable under my supervision.'' Hiram looks at Veronica I heard he called you yesterday.''

Veronica looks at her friends and back at her dad ''Yeah and that's none of your business.''

She puts her hands on Hiram's desk, ''listen I don't know what you're trying to do, but you need to stop.''

As the groups of friends walk out and go to the El Royale as they all sit around.

''We need to renew this town.'' Archie looks around, ''are you guys in?''

Betty, Jughead, and Veronica shook their heads in agreement. They got to work the next morning. Betty got her mom to get on the news and ask for volunteers. Jughead got the Serpent gang to help move stuff. Veronica begins to get new faces in Riverdale and Archie got the El Royale back up and running. After a while, it looks like nothing happened. Nothing changed until the new buyer of Veronica's business came to Riverdale and bought jewelry. With the town being more spacious and cleaner and having everyone helping. Everything started to run smoothly. After a night of hard work and dedication Betty, Jughead, Archie, and Veronica go to Archie's house, and they all sit down. They turn on the TV and the news is still on.

The news lady says, '' Incoming news Hiram Lodge was arrested for embezzlement and murdered a young man. This man is still a John Doe.''

The four of them listen to the news lady,

''Hiram Lodge is sentenced to life in prison and is in an out-of-state prison.''

Veronica's jaw drops, ''He's gone wow Karma is unforgettable.'' as she laughs,

After Hiram Lodge got locked up, the town settled down and began to come back from the unbearable doings of Hiram Lodge.
