The Serpent's Cheerleader

"Betty, are you sure this is going to work?" Veronica asked as she pulled out her phone and began to text Cheryl.

Betty already sent her text to Toni. "Yeah, don't worry. We will still be there to make sure nothing goes wrong. Besides, I don't think we have any other ideas."

Veronica sighed as she sent the text to Cheryl, asking her to watch a movie with her at the theaters tonight. Cheryl was quick to respond with a yes before asking what movie they were going to watch. Veronica looked at Betty before asking, "What movie are we planning to watch?"

The blond just smiled. "Love Simon. It's about excepting yourself so I figured it will totally help. We already know Toni is into girls but we don't know if Cheryl is."

Veronica sighed again. "Betty, what if this makes things worse in the long run? I mean we can tell they have a slight atraction to each other but what if they figure out what we are doing and then we end up getting involved?"

Before Betty could answer, she got a text back from Toni agreeing. "We don't have time to worry about that. We are already involved. Your a Vixon and so am I but I'm also a serpent. We are involved no matter what and we have to do something. Oh, and Toni and Cheryl would make a cute couple."

Veronica nodded in agreement before they set up the rest of their plan. After it was all set, the girls smiled at each other and got changed into something secretive but in Veronica's case, still hot.

At the movies, Toni stood there, shaking her head after reading Betty's text about how she can't make it tonight. She was about to leave until she saw a certain red head. Toni smirked before making her way over. "Let me guess a cherry cola for Cheryl Bombshell?"

Cheryl froze for just a second before turning and saying. "What do you want? Stalking me now? Is this really the place to finish the fight from yesterday?"

Toni leaned against the table before saying. "I'm not stalking you and I'm not here to fight with you. I was supposed to be meeting Betty before she baled on me."

Cheryl nodded in understanding. "I was supposed to come here with Veronica but she had to deal with her father."

Toni's eyes softened at the look on Cheryl's face. "Are you okay?" Cheryl glanced at her drink before answering. "My mother is crazy so I can't go home and I'm alone at the movies. Other then that, I'm surviving."

Toni moved closer to Cheryl. "Well, you could sit with me but...no pressure." Cheryl searched the sepents eyes for any sign of anything that would make her not want her to but Cheryl only found a caring look on her face. "You really want to sit with me after what happened to your locker yesterday? And how I've made the serpent's lives hell since they came to Riverdale High?"

Toni thought about it for a second before replying. "Of course I would. But it's still up to you, Bombshell." Cheryl gave a genune smile before taking a long drink threw her straw and agreeing. Betty and Veronica watched their interaction from a distance before highfiving.

As Toni and Cheryl sat close the the middle row, Veronica and Betty sat at the back watching every little move they made. "Ok, I feel like a stalker. Can we enjoy the movie while we are here?" Veronica asked the blond.

Betty smiled at her girlfriend. "We are stalking the though but if you want to enjoy the movie, we can. I'm sure they won't go to far."

As the credits rolled, meaning the end of the movie, everyone made their way out but Betty and Veronica lost sight of the two girls. "Damn!" They both said as they looked around. Outside, Cheryl and Toni were walking down the sidewalk, heading no where exactly. "You may be a master at crying silently but I could see you tearing up." Toni said as she watched Cheryl's face for any signs that told her she shouldn't have brought that up.

Cheryl smiled slightly. "It all reminded me of when I was younger and I was so happy all the time because I had someone that meant a lot to me. Now they are gone."

Toni slightly grabbed Cheryl's hand to confort her. "I heard about your brother. I know you two were close." Cheryl shook her head slightly as she felt tears slowly come to her eyes. "No, not JJ. Her name was Heather. Me and her were best friends until my mom cause us laying in the same bed and she made Heather's life a living hell and paid off her family to move far away. She tried to send me away to some straight camp but JJ stopped her and he protected me."

Toni pulled Cheryl into a hug. She could feel Cheryl get tense for a second. "You don't have to be afraid to let me in. We may not be the best of friends right now but I won't hurt you and I won't let the evil woman hurt you either. You are amazing and deserve so much better. You, Cheryl Blossom, are sensational."

Cheryl pulled Toni closer as she barried her face in Toni's neck. "Thank you, Toni. I have been a bitch to the serpents, mostly you but I don't want to be like that. Not with you or your family. I'm sorry about all of it."

Toni pulled away slightly. "Hey, don't worry about it. We're cool. Come on, I'll walk you home. And if you ever get ditched at the movies, feel free to call me." Toni handed Cheryl her number as they walked to the red head's house.
