Every year on Christmas Eve, Cheryl Blossom invites everyone who deemed worthy enough to attend her holiday party at Thorn Hill. Yet, due to the traumatic incidents involving the murder of Jason Blossom orchestrated by Clifford Blossom, then the fathers suicide in their “maple” barn, and the burning of Thorn Hill set alight by none other than Cheryl herself, the annual party was now relocated to Thistlehouse, another property owned by the Blossom family.

Each year, something extravagant happens at the party. According to rumors, Cheryl hired an ice caterer two years ago and created a life-size sculpture of herself. The year before that, the Blossom family hired professional dancers from Broadway to perform a special choreography made only for that particular evening.

Needless to say, it was a night a Riverdale resident can never miss.

However, this year it was different. Since Cheryl’s heart was captured by Toni Topaz earlier within the year, the redhead decided to extend her invitation to the Southsiders for once.

Which was why Dakota Elizabeth Chambers was now forced out of her comfortable home by her boyfriend, Fangs Fogarty, to attend the party she really couldn’t care on going to. She carried two trays of freshly baked chocolate chip and sugar cookies while Fangs held the two jugs full to the rim of homemade eggnog to the Chambers pickup truck. Dakota wasn’t too keen on going because she was definitely not the type to go to parties whereas Fangs thrived in that environment. He had to beg her to join him because he wouldn’t show up without her by his side and Dakota couldn’t say “no” to him, especially when he promised they’d leave somewhat early and spend the rest of the night watching The Elf with the rest of the Chambers family.

When she agreed, Dakota quickly went into her baking mode. Again, she wasn’t one for parties for she never got the memo of not bringing anything. Fangs told her this, but the girl insisted on making something for the party. She made all the cookies and eggnog herself. Her boyfriend helped out with the second batch of eggnog since it was getting late and she was still covered in yeast, flour, and milk.

Once everything was ready, they drove off in the pickup truck and headed towards Thistlehouse.

It took them about ten minutes to get there and then another ten for trying to find a good parking spot. Once the truck was in park, they carried their items inside the Thistlehouse. The music was extremely loud, the flashing lights were almost blinding, and the air inside was sticky and hot.

They pushed their way through the crowds of sweaty teenagers until they reached the outdoor patio where the infamous redhead stood with her girlfriend. Both wore beautiful fur coats, one red and the other black, to keep them from getting cold outside.

“Fangs! Dakota!” Toni Topaz greeted cheerfully.

Cheryl eyed their greeting gifts in their hands and pointed over to the table on the other end of the patio. “Set the food and drinks over there. When you’re done, go back inside. TT and I are enjoying the cool, winter weather. Alone.”

Taking the not-so-subtle hint, Dakota and Fangs set their items down along with the other food and drinks left out. Quickly, Fangs poured the eggnog into red solo cups. He used one jug for one cup and the other jog for another cup. Dakota didn’t bother to ask, she just wanted to leave the patio and get to someplace calmer in the household.

The two returned back inside and went towards the kitchen because it was less crowded and not as humid. Fangs draped an arm over her shoulders, keeping her close to him at all times. “Cheers to us, mi novia,” he said loud enough for her to hear.

“Cheers,” she replied back happily as they tapped their cups together and slipped away on their eggnog. When the drink went down, a foul and burning sensation went down her throat. Definitely not a feeling she was used to. Dakota violently coughed and looked disgustingly at her cup. “Fangs, did you spike the eggnog?” She asked, coughing in between every other word.

Realization dawned upon him and then he immediately switched the red cups, “Shit, I gave you mine! Sorry!”

Since the day the Serpents challenged the Ghoulies to a street drag race, Fangs Fogarty had his eyes set on the innocent Catholic girl from the Northside. It may have started out as him wanting to deflower Riverdale’s sweetheart (which didn’t work out too well for him), but it quickly changed and turned into something more than he could imagine. As they grew closer, their feelings became stronger and stronger every day. 

But then, the incident with Midge Klump. While unbeknownst to Dakota, the Fogarty boy didn’t expect a relationship to form with her. She was a good girl with heart of gold and a mom for a cop. He believed there was no possibility of them being together, thus resulting him hooking up with Midge. What the Serpent didn’t know was that Dakota was falling hard and fast for him. When she caught them making out in the dressing room, the teenager walked away with tears in her eyes and her heart shattering to pieces.

After a couple of arguments, a bunch of tears, and a gunshot to the abdomen, Dakota Chambers and Fangs Fogarty decided to start over. And so the two spent the rest of their sophomore year and entire summer vacation being happy. They were free from serial killers, Northside versus Southside prejudice, and unnecessary high school drama, leaving them to have a good start to their relationship.

By the time school around, they were thrown into many obstacles, causing some trouble in their relationship. When Fangs began to play Gryphons and Gargoyles, start selling drugs to pay for his mother’s medical expenses, and accidentally killing a Serpent traitor, it led the couple down a path which ultimately forced them to break up, to protect Dakota from getting involved with his gang life. The break up wasn’t easy on both. They loved each other deeply, but Fangs had to do what was best to ensure her safety.

Months have passed, and Dakota had caught the eyes of a certain ginger who had a knack for getting himself into sticky situations. Archie Andrews was a sweet and nice guy who was struggling through all the changes he had to endure while he was in juvie and on the run. Dakota, being the selfless girl as always, decided to tag team alongside Josie McCoy to help Archie get back on his feet. During that time, the redhead developed a small attractive towards the girl with a broken heart. But after he made the first move, the Chambers girl quickly stopped him, not wanting to pursue a relationship with someone she only considered to be a friend. After that, the two remained to be good friends, and that’s all it ever was for them.

Unfortunately, Fangs didn’t know that they were just friends. Whenever he walked down the halls of Riverdale High and saw the two together, it brought sadness and jealousy. Sad that he was watching the girl that he loved smiling at another guy, and jealous that it had to be Archie Andrews, a Northsider who always wanted to do what was right. And when he found out about their kiss, from the redhead himself after accidentally telling him, the Serpent boy was not only angry, but hurt as well.

But finally, when the good girl and the bad boy were able to talk everything out and move on, they began to follow the right path once more. And during the production of the school’s annual musical, The Heathers, Dakota Chambers and Fangs Fogarty were together once more and stronger than ever.
