Amidst the glittering skyline of Chicago, Jay, Moose, and their friends found themselves atop 360 Chicago, soaking in the breathtaking view of the city at night. The air was filled with a sense of nostalgia as they sipped on their drinks, cherishing their final night together in the Windy City.
Veronica sighed contentedly as she leaned against the railing, her eyes tracing the twinkling lights below. "Chicago will always hold a special place in my heart," she remarked, her voice tinged with fondness.
Jughead nodded in agreement, his gaze lingering on the iconic skyline. "Yeah, it's been quite the adventure," he added, a wistful smile gracing his lips.
As the group shared stories and laughter, Jay couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement for the future. "I can't wait to start our new life in Riverdale, Moose," he whispered, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.
Moose smiled, his heart swelling with love for Jay. "Me too, Jay. It's going to be amazing," he replied, squeezing Jay's hand affectionately.
However, their moment of bliss was short-lived as Natalie Manning appeared, casting a shadow over their evening. The tension in the air was palpable as she approached the group, her presence unwelcome and unwarranted.
Toni wasted no time in calling for backup, her voice firm as she reached for her phone. "I'm calling the Southside Serpents," she declared, her eyes flashing with determination.
Archie stepped forward, his expression steely as he addressed Natalie. "You need to leave, Natalie. Now," he demanded, his voice brooking no argument.
Natalie scoffed, her eyes narrowing in defiance. "I'll leave when I'm ready," she retorted, her tone laced with arrogance.
Tabitha stepped up beside Archie, her voice firm as she echoed his sentiment. "You heard him. It's time to go," she stated, her gaze unwavering.
Cheryl's patience wore thin as Natalie continued to push their buttons. "I'll give you one last chance to leave peacefully, Natalie. Otherwise, you'll regret it," she warned, her voice dripping with venom.
Natalie smirked, unfazed by Cheryl's threat. "Try me," she challenged, her eyes glinting with malice.
Jay's patience reached its limit as he stepped forward, his voice firm and resolute. "Enough, Natalie. It's time for you to leave," he stated, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
Natalie's defiance faltered for a moment before she regained her composure, her eyes blazing with determination. "Fine. But mark my words, this isn't over," she hissed, before turning on her heel and disappearing into the night.
As Natalie's footsteps faded into the distance, the group breathed a collective sigh of relief, grateful to finally be rid of her presence. With their final night in Chicago drawing to a close, they turned their gaze back to the shimmering skyline, knowing that whatever challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, united in love and friendship.
