Author’s note

There are some things you need to know before you read this one-shot.

Jacob Maxwell is Kevin’s boyfriend. He’s a Northsider. He’s gay. He started dating Kevin at the end of sophomore year. He was a writer for the Blue and Gold, and he was in charge of lighting and sound design for the musicals Kevin directed. I was not a fan of the Hedwig storyline, so I’m going to say Riverdale High School put on a production of Little Shop of Horrors instead.

Lucy Collins is Reggie’s girlfriend. She’s a Northsider. She was a River Vixen. She wasn’t involved in the musicals Kevin directed. Reggie dated Josie in sophomore year. Josie broke up with him and left Riverdale to go on tour with her father, Myles, at the beginning of junior year. Sierra stayed in Riverdale with Tom and Kevin. Reggie started dating Lucy shortly after Josie left Riverdale.

Nana Rose died in junior year. Penelope was sentenced to life in prison following the Gargoyle King reveal, and ownership of Blossom Maple Farms, Thistle House, the Belmont Lodge, and the Maple Club went to Cheryl. She sold Belmont Lodge and the Maple Club to the rest of the Blossom family. Toni moved into Thistle House. Cheryl went into business with Veronica, and the Blossom family’s maple syrup became part of the non-alcoholic rum Veronica sold at La Bonne Nuit. I forgot to mention this in The Transfers.

Because Alice, Polly, Cheryl, Kevin, Toni, Fangs, and Principal Weatherbee never joined the Farm, Cheryl and Toni never found themselves having to look after Polly’s twins. I forgot to mention this in The Transfers.

Because the Pretty Poisons never existed, the yearbook didn’t have a page dedicated to them, but it did have a page dedicated to the Serpents and the musicals. I forgot to mention this in The Transfers.

Charles never dated Chic. He never visited Chic in prison. He left Riverdale after the Farm shut down. I forgot to mention this in The Transfers.

Fred gave Archie the jalopy after they fixed it up in junior year. Archie got Fred’s truck shortly after Fred died. Fred’s brother, Frank, left Riverdale shortly after Fred’s funeral. Mary and her girlfriend, Brooke, stayed in Riverdale. I forgot to mention this in The Transfers.

Because the Stonewall Prep storyline never happened and Gladys and Jellybean moved back to Toledo, Jellybean didn’t make disturbing videos of the citizens of Riverdale. I forgot to mention this in The Transfers.

Shortly after Pop Tate died, Veronica signed over ownership of Pop's Chock'lit Shoppe to his granddaughter, Tabitha and sold La Bonne Nuit to the Southside Serpents, thus ending her partnership with Cheryl. La Bonne Nuit became the new Whyte Wyrm. I forgot to mention that in The Transfers. Tabitha doesn’t plan to franchise Pop’s. The Whyte Wyrm is a bar. It did not become a dance club like it did in season 5.

In season 5, Jughead and Sweet Pea have some new tattoos. One of Jughead’s tattoos is of Cosmo from Cosmo the Merry Martian. Cosmo the Merry Martian was a comic book published by Archie Comics in the late 1950’s. The comic was created by Bob White as a way to provide a family-appropriate comic for children with an interest in the then-current space race. The title character was the first Martian to visit Earth. In this one-shot, Cosmo the Merry Martian was an animated television show Jughead and Jellybean watched when they were children.

Betty didn’t kiss Archie. She doesn’t have sex with Archie. Betty and Jughead don’t break up, and neither do Archie and Veronica. Jughead doesn’t date Jessica, doesn’t sleep with Cora, and doesn’t kiss Tabitha. Veronica doesn’t marry Chad. Betty doesn’t date Glen. She doesn’t become an FBI agent, but she does go to Yale University and get a cat named Toffee. In sophomore year, a few months before Betty and Cheryl considered becoming Serpents, Betty had applied for the chemistry program at Yale University. She had been accepted into the program in junior year. I forgot to mention that in The Transfers.

Veronica goes to Barnard College, but she majors in history instead of economics.

Reggie doesn’t become Hiram’s right hand man. He attends Columbia University.

In junior year, Archie was interested in attending the naval academy. After Fred died, he changed his mind about attending the naval academy and decided to take over Andrews Construction. He didn’t join the army. He closed down El Royale Boxing Club. I forgot to mention this in The Transfers.

Jughead, Toni, and Fangs don’t go to college. After high school, they decided to become full-time Serpents, and so did Sweet Pea and Hannah. I forgot to mention that in The Transfers. Jughead doesn’t become an English teacher. Toni doesn’t become a guidance counselor. Sweet Pea and Fangs don’t become truckers. Like in the show, Cheryl decided not to go to college and worked to restore the Blossom name. She doesn’t become a painter. She and Toni don’t coach the River Vixens. When she isn’t running Blossom Maple Farms, she is being a Serpent. Toni does not get pregnant. Reggie doesn’t become a football coach, and neither does Archie.

Jughead outlawed the Serpent dance at the beginning of senior year. I forgot to mention that in The Transfers. If a girl wants to be a Serpent, she has to do the same thing a boy has to do if he wants to be a Serpent, with the exception of being punched by every member of the Serpents.

Shortly after Jughead published Anatomy of a Murder, he hired an agent. His agent, Sam Pansky, lives in New York. He communicates with him through e-mails and text messages. I forgot to mention this in The Transfers. He didn’t leave Riverdale. He didn’t become an alcoholic or a drug addict.

Archie got his Serpent tattoo removed shortly after he got out of Juvie. I forgot to mention that in The Transfers.

Hermione doesn’t leave Riverdale. She doesn’t appear in The Real Housewives of New York. She stays in Riverdale and continues being the mayor.

FP doesn’t leave Riverdale. He stays in Riverdale and continues being the sheriff.

In the author’s note at the beginning of The Transfers, I mentioned that Alice, Polly, Cheryl, Kevin, Toni, Fangs, and Principal Weatherbee never joined the Farm. If Polly wasn’t in the Farm, I couldn’t see her naming the twins Juniper and Dagwood, so I gave them different names. Their names are Sophia and Liam.

Jughead writes a book called The Outcasts, but it’s different from the book that was mentioned in the show.

Riverdale High School

7:00 p.m.

In 1941, the first senior class of Riverdale High buried a time capsule the day after they graduated. Tonight, Betty, Reggie, Veronica, Kevin, Cheryl, Toni, Emma, Jake, Lucy, Hannah, Sweet Pea, Fangs, Jughead, and Archie would be burying their own time capsule.

After they buried the time capsule, Betty, Reggie, Veronica, Kevin, Cheryl, Toni, Emma, Jake, Lucy, Hannah, Sweet Pea, Fangs, Jughead, and Archie would be going to the Whyte Wyrm.

Betty and Jughead walked towards Betty’s car. Betty got in the driver’s seat. Jughead got in the passenger’s seat. Betty started the engine and drove to the Whyte Wyrm.

“Betty, Jughead, Cheryl, Reggie, Kevin, Emma, Jake, Lucy, Hannah, Sweet Pea, Toni, Fangs, I’d like to make a toast to you. You’re the best friends anyone could ask for. I don’t think if I would have survived high school if I didn’t have you and Veronica by my side. I hope our friendship lasts forever. Cheers.” Archie raised his glass.

“Jughead, I should have asked this question sooner, but where did the nicknames Jughead, Jellybean, Sweet Pea, and Fangs come from?” Veronica asked.

“When I was a kid, I had a long nose and big ears, making my head look like a water jug, but I grew into them once I started going through puberty. The nickname Jughead came from some guys in my grade 4 class. Jellybean’s real name is Forsythia. It’s a mirror of my real name. I disliked the name in any form and started calling her Jellybean when she was 5. The nickname came from the type of truck that crashed and caused the traffic jam in which she was born. Nathan is a big softie when he wants to be. When I transferred to Southside High, Toni told me she started calling him Sweet Pea when they were 13 and the nickname stuck. When Francis joined the Serpents, he wanted a nickname that would make him seem more intimidating. Fangs was the first nickname he thought of.” Jughead said.

10:00 a.m.

Smithers had retired and would be going back to New York.

Mary, Brooke, and Archie’s house

Friday, July 19, 2019

6:00 p.m.

Archie had invited Veronica, Betty, and Jughead over for dinner. Mary and Brooke were having dinner at Pop’s.

Veronica knocked on the door. The door didn’t open.

Veronica, Betty, and Jughead started walking around the yard.

“Archie?” Jughead called out.

Jughead was wearing a black tank top, dark blue denim jeans, and black combat boots with black laces. His Serpent tattoo was on full display. His straight black hair hung just above his ears and was tousled. He was clean-shaven.

Veronica, Betty, and Jughead heard Archie say, “I’m in the garage.”

Veronica, Betty, and Jughead walked into the garage.

Archie rolled himself out from under the jalopy and wiped the sweat off of his forehead with a rag.

Archie spoke. “I was thinking we could drive the jalopy to Sweetwater River and watch the sunset, but all of my attempts to get it started have failed. I don’t think I’ll ever get it started.”

Archie was wearing a white t-shirt, dark blue denim jeans, and black ankle-length boots. His short, straight red hair was styled in an Ivy League cut. His locks were a little longer on the top, allowing him to spike up his bangs. He was clean-shaven. His shirt and jeans were smeared with oil.

Betty spoke. “It could become part of the decor in Pop’s. It would fit with the vintage theme. Call Tabitha and see if she’s okay with having it towed to Pop’s, and if she is, call a tow truck.”

Betty was wearing a black t-shirt, dark blue denim shorts that reached her mid-thigh, and black low-top Converse sneakers with white laces. Her long straight blonde hair was piled on top of her head in a neat donut-shaped bun. She had on a light amount of black eyeliner, a light amount of black mascara, soft pink eyeshadow, and nude lip gloss.

Veronica spoke. “But first, you need to shower, change your clothes, and eat.”

Veronica was wearing navy blue ankle-length boots with high heels and a short-sleeved white button down shirt tucked into navy blue cotton shorts that reached her mid-thigh. Her shoulder-length wavy black hair was tucked behind her ears. Her brown eyes were framed by long dark lashes, her lips were plum and shiny, and her cheeks were rosy.

Archie, Veronica, Betty, and Jughead walked into the house.

Alice, Polly, and Betty’s house

Monday, August 5, 2019

10:00 a.m.

Alice’s car, Polly’s car, Betty’s car, Jughead’s motorcycle, and FP’s motorcycle were parked in front of the house.

Alice was standing next to her car.

Polly was standing next to her car. Her right hand was grasping the stroller Sophia and Liam were sleeping in.

Betty was standing next to her car. Two suitcases were in the backseat.

Jughead was standing next to his motorcycle.

FP was standing next to his motorcycle.

Alice pulled Betty into a hug. “I’m proud of you, Betty.”

Alice was wearing purple high-heeled sandals and a short-sleeved ruffled purple dress with a v-neck and an a-line skirt that reached her knees. The neckline showed a hint of cleavage. Her straight blonde hair was in layers and reached her chest. Her bangs were parted to the right and stopped just above her eyebrow. Her blue eyes were framed by long dark lashes, and her cheeks were rosy. She had on nude lip gloss. She still had her Serpent tattoo. Even though she left the Serpents in high school, she hadn’t gotten her Serpent tattoo removed, because removing a tattoo was painful.

Alice’s Serpent tattoo couldn’t be seen underneath her clothes.

“Thank you, Mom,” Betty said.

Betty was wearing a white t-shirt, dark blue denim shorts that reached her mid-thigh, and black low-top Converse sneakers with white laces. Her long straight blonde hair was parted in the middle.

“Thank you, Polly,” Betty said.

Betty was born in 2001. Cheryl and Jason were born in 2000. Polly was born in 1999. Jason had been in Polly’s grade. Cheryl had been in Betty’s grade. The reason for this is that Jason was super smart and skipped a grade.

Polly got pregnant in 2016. She gave birth and dropped out of high school in 2017. This September, she was going to start taking online classes in order to get her G.E.D.

Jughead pulled Betty into a hug. “Text us when you’re in your dorm, okay?”

“Okay.” Betty said.

FP pulled Betty into a hug. “Drive safe.”

FP was wearing a grey t-shirt, dark blue denim jeans, and black ankle-length leather boots. His short, straight brown hair was slicked back. He had a hint of stubble. He still had his Serpent tattoo. Even though he retired from the Serpents when Jughead was in high school, he hadn’t gotten his Serpent tattoo removed. He didn’t get his Serpent tattoo removed for the same reason Alice didn’t get her Serpent tattoo removed. He had a tattoo of a jellybean on the left side of his chest. He’d gotten it shortly after Gladys and Jellybean left Riverdale for the first time. He had no plans to get it removed.

FP’s tattoos couldn’t be seen underneath his clothes.

“I will.” Betty said.

Betty got in her car and pulled out of the driveway.

Jughead got on his motorcycle and pulled out of the driveway.

FP got on his motorcycle and pulled out of the driveway.
