Enter Sandman

Jackson: Hudson, word on the street is that you're having issues.

Finn: Hayward, what kind of issues? I have a lot of those going on right now.

Jackson: Financial issues.

Finn: Who told you?

Jackson: I guess it is true then, how long do you have until the bank gets the construction?

Finn:....Im not going to tell you without a lawyer present.

Jackson: Oh please, we both know that you would do anything to save your dad's business. And that means /anything/.

Jackson: Also that only works if you're getting arrested, which you are not and believe me, you don't want to get us arrested.

Jackson: So Im going to make you a little offer, you let us take care of that money situation, make all the bills disappear, the bank no longer breathing down yours & your mom's neck. All you have to do is meet up with us, let's say, Wednesday @ 12:30pm ?

Jackson: Look, we both want what's best for our mothers, right? You let me scratch your back and you'll scractch my back.

[...]

Finn: What's is it in for me?

Jackson: No longer losing the family business, breathing room. I'll even send a car to your house, pick you up and that way we can discuss it over lunch.

[...]

Finn:....Fine, just no word to this to Vivian, got it?

I just realized… for the first time since high school, I actually have someone to kiss at midnight on New Years! I haven’t had a midnight kiss in like … six years. Oh my god! 

Happy for you, Blaine. Sounds like things are going great for you and that’s great. Who’s the lucky person?

Oh man, that mechanical bull, coupled with way too many shots of tequila, might have been the best and worst idea I ever had. I woke up fully clothed but in the shower with the water on. But at least I took my shoes off first? 

Shout out to @astonjones​ for not only being the best babysitter to ever exist and teaching the almighty and powerful Smlex how to roomba rumble but also for making the best hangover breakfast.

Anyway, my whole body feels like I’ve hit by a truck and I have a night shift tonight, so this is going to be fun. I hope everyone else’s weekend has been just as much of a good one.

How are you feeling, by the way? Also, Im glad that you guys had a great night out for a change instead of the opposite. 

I hope everyone is enjoying the Holidays, regardless of what you celebrate! But I’d like to take a moment to announce that starting at the beginning of the year, I’ll be working alongside my dads on the very first Musical of the decade! The chosen play as well as audition schedules will be announced in due time, but know we are still open to suggestions if you have any.

They’re going alright, can’t really complain about them. Since things have been intense here. What kind of suggestions have you gotten? As far as musicals go?

Due to unfortunate circumstance, I’m back in Riverdale for a few weeks. I can’t say that I’ve particularly missed this place, the weather, or the people here. Save for the few attractive ones that haven’t managed to escape – here’s looking at you, @rileshuds​.

If anyone is aware of where to find a decent meal around here that isn’t Pops, feel free to help a guy out.

Oh god, you’re back? I thought you stayed away for good. Just kidding and there’s a taco truck down from Peyton’s flower shop.

We enter the last weekend of the decade. How crazy is that?? I hope everyone is having a good time, and with the people you care about. Let’s prepare to bring the New Year in!

Someone’s awfully cheery, but have a New Year’s.

So, Im finally making changes to The Secret Garden and Im excited for them! The shop itself will be closed until we’re done making changes, but I will be located down a block from the shop itself and right before you hit Bethany’s cafe. I was luckily enough to rent out another place. If anyone wants to help me get the flowers out of the delivery trucks, that would be fantastic and I will buy you food, any place your heart desires. 

I go MIA for about a week and all of sudden you’re doing construction on the shop? Or what are you doing? Because if you’re planning on doing something like that, then I’ll send my boys over to help you.

Vivian: I didn't want to be burden. But thank you for the offer.

Vivian: Something to distract me? You have caught my interest.

Vivian: I am heading back tonight. Does the offer still stand?

Finn: You wouldnt have been. You're welcome.

Finn: Well, you'll find out when you get back here.

Vivian: A motel in Greendale. I have been staying there off and on since I’ve seen you.

Vivian: Anything, whatever can distract me. Give me something to keep me busy.

[...]

Vivian: Fine, I’ll consider making it back.

Finn: You could've stayed at my old place, you do realize that, right?

Finn: Well when you get your ass back here, I'll give you something to distract you.

Sam: If I make Peyton cry, I give full permission to punch me in the face for that

Sam: Oh come on, work some of that Finn Hudson charm on h

Finn: Oh I will, but thank you for giving me your permission.

Finn: Im gonna give her some time, dude before I give her the Hudson charm.

RILEY: I almost screamed that he was mine also, between Dirty Dancing, Roadhouse and The Outsiders... but then I remembered Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones or Star Wars and Lucy Lawless in Xena

RILEY: I'm not sure if Pey has all of Team Flash figured out. But I'm pretty sure a lot of them are Charlie, Eliana... though those two ladies are superheroes on their own with their own teams.

RILEY: Do I want to ask about what boundaries you crossed in high school?

RILEY: What do you mean? Who could I run into on a dating app for single parents that I wouldn't want?

[ NEXT DAY ]

FINN: Protip: don't fall asleep on a desk, or you might feel like it's high school all over again.

FINN: Black Dog was another good one. This explains so much of our childhood.

FINN: Maybe Savitar can be whoever the hell you guys don't say their name...Remind me again why we don't say the name? Oo true.

FINN: I mean, if you want to? Nothing's going to stop you from doing so. Except for yourself.

FINN: to be honest, I was exhausted last night, so maybe not start up a dating site for other parents.

RILEY: I honestly couldn't promise that I wouldn't marry Rory after the movie. High on the romance of Dirty Dancing and Patrick Swayze's sexiness... it could make someone do some foolish things.

RILEY: OH! That makes more sense and better sage brotherly advice than suggesting that I date my best friend and her boyfriend.

RILEY: Don't get me wrong, Samuel is a very handsome man and I bet if he grew his hair out, he'd have big God of Thunder vibes but Peyton and I do have boundaries.

RILEY: Like Tinder? In Riverdale? That's actually a good idea. Is there a single parents or something like that website that?

FINN: You're not wrong. Fun fact: Patrick Swayze was my first celebrity crush, Roadhouse. Though, he was pretty hot in Dirty Dancing.

FINN: Yeah, much better advice for sure.

FINN: So it would be the Scarlet Speedster dating Thor, I can see it. Though, you cant forget about Ms. Iris West-Allen. Maybe she could date Cisco, but if Barry found out about it, then it'll be an ugly mess.

FINN: Wait, who are Cisco, Caitlin, Iris, Savitar, if Peyton's the Flash? Always good to have boundaries, found that out back in high school.

RILEY: Everything you said was noted and appreciated but I just got very distracted by your last text...

RILEY: Did you just suggest I throuple with Peyton and Samuel? Because Finn, though that is very progressive of you and Pey and I share a lot of things... I don't think that would be something Samuel is into.

RILEY: I don't know how to date anymore, bro...

FINN: The dont get married after the movie text?

FINN: OH THAT. No, I mean, if you're into that then that's cool and I accept your lifestyle but lemme clear it up. What I meant was, you could always bring those two on your date with Rory, so just in case it ends up getting awkward. They're there to break the awkward tension.

FINN: He might? It's hard to say but I dont think Peyton is.
