Betty was tired of being herself. She wanted to step out of her skin. If it were even for a night, she would take it. Tonight at Cheryl's Halloween party, she'd show up oh she would show up alright!

She went to the bathroom and put on blood-red lipstick and put on the white makeup for clowns, vampires, etc. Betty looked good. Betty moved onto her eyes. Her right eye, she put purple eyeshadow with green glitter. On her left, she put green eye shadow and purple glitter. On her right eye, she put on green mascara and the left purple mascara. She said screw the eyeliner. Her green eyes stood out like diamonds. She looked fabulous. Betty was going to kill it this Halloween!

Betty figured her nails would look sweet done. So, she used purple and green every other one—a pattern. Once Betty's nails were dried, it was time for her costume.

She looked back in the mirror as she clipped on her wig. It was green and long. Enough for someone to tug it and not have it come off. Someone else could put their hand through it, and it would feel so real.

"Betty, do we have to go to this Halloween party? I'm tired, baby."

Betty smiled wickedly as she held her toy gun. She walked out of the bathroom. "What was that, Jug?"

She looked at him, and his mouth was drooling. "Um Betts"

She purred as she walked up to him in her green corset, green booty shorts, with her purple fishnet tights, green high heels, plus green fishnet gloves with a purple suit jacket. She walked around him and put the gun around his ear and slowly licked his ear afterward and purred, "what were you saying, Jug?"

He looked drunk; he had a goofy-looking smile. "Cats got your tongue, hmm? Well, baby, Daddy's got your clothes over there and be a good little monster and put them on."

She spun around and waved him off, "oh and Jug, I will be doing your makeup, and baby, you will look so hot. Even Cheryl will turn her head at my baby boy."

Jughead shook his head. What the hell just happened? Who was that? Why did he want to be submissive all of a sudden? Did he like gunplay? Usually, he ignored guns at all costs. Yet there was his girl Betts, and he wanted it. Betty could do whatever she wanted; he wanted her.

He went to where Betty said his clothes were. A white shirt with red and blue lettering that read, Daddy's Little Monster, but with a Betty twist, it had an 'S.' under it, and on top of the 'S' was a crown. His signature and Betts knew that. So, I guess he was typically Betty's little serpent monster! He smiled at that thought. Only she would want to be called Daddy. He had mom issues, so he preferred it this way. He slipped on the jacket next left side was blue right side was red.

He looked at his pants, and he heard himself whimper. When he did that, he saw Betty walking sexy with that damn gun again, "put them on, Forsythe."

Where did she come from? Gah! She just appeared!

"Now, I will not ask you again." Her eyebrows raising

He didn't particularly like skinny jeans, and she knew this. He put them on. The pants match his jacket. His girl went all out with this costume. He saw the shoes one red converse high top and one blue with shoelaces with the card symbols ♥️ ♣️ ♦️ ♠

She got closer, and she now had scissors; she held him and started ripping his shirt. It looked like he got in a fight. She put some fake blood on his skin where the rips were. She kissed him hard.

"Now that your wardrobe is done besides your baseball bat that says 'Goodnight,' no, you can not hit Reggie or Sweet Pea with it" she saw Jug pouting and almost laughed. Her boy, wasn't done yet.

She took him to the bathroom, "Sit, pet!" He just sat like a good little boy. She liked this. Betty loved that Jug was playing along with her.

She started with the jewelry on his left hand. She put a coiled serpent with emerald eyes on his middle finger. On his right, she had cuffed rings it had the chain link and everything on the first ring it said P U on the second ring it said D D on the third ring it said I N on the forth ring it was the ♥♦♣♠ very detailed. It looked good against his olive skin. On his right hand, she put on a pyramid bracelet with spikes on his left handcuffs. She put both cuffs on his left. She considered leaving one-off but figured someone might try to steal her man. At the party, she figured she might like one hanging loose, though, especially with that bat in his hand and the fake bloody knife in his pocket. Right now, it was a mere fashion statement.

She moved on to his neck in green and purple rhinestones. She put on a choker that said Betty's. It fit perfectly there. Like it was meant to be there and might have to stay after the Halloween party. He is hers, nobody else's. She hopes she doesn't have to get animalistic and piss on him to prove that point.

Now his nails his left side was red and blue his right side red and black in a stencil she drew ♥♣ those were her favorites. Of course. After his nail polish and waiting for Jug's nails to dry, Betty put on his left side red eyeliner with deep blue eyeshadow. On his right side, Betty used blue eyeliner with crimson eye shadow. Under his right eye, she put his signature crown.

She pulled out the blood she put on his skin earlier, "take a swig and swish it around, then spit it out like the good boy you are," Jug did as she said, and blood ran down his lips and his chin. Even onto his shirt. Betty was clapping. She was beyond excited. She slowly put on his red sparkly lip gloss and put that and the fake blood in a freezer sandwich bag and moved it to her green purse. She decided he needed mascara and she decided that the green would make his blue eyes pop so she put it on him. God, he looked beautiful like a killer doll.

Betty tapped him on the shoulder and clapped her hands, she sang, "wig time" she got out this super short wig one side was blue the other side red. She clapped as she put it on, "Oh Jughead you handsome devil you!" Betty's voice getting all high pitched with the excitement

Betty grabbed his hands, "up, up, you go my love the last piece of your outfit awaits" in her hands she had a belt. It had pyramid studs on it but the buckle had his crown with his buttons on it and the little 'S' under it.

His girl went all out on this belt. He smiled goofily; he was so happy. His eyes were shining so bright he could have been a flashlight.

Betty thought she did that. Betty was ecstatic she could make her boyfriend glow like that!

Jughead looked at himself. He didn't recognize himself. It was like he was a completely different person. He had transformed. He still wasn't in the mindset for parties, but he wanted to make Betty happy he could pretend for one night. He could do that much.

When they got to the car is when Betty showed him his fake play knife with Halloween blood along with the famous goodnight bat.

By the time they got to Cheryl's party, it was 8:30. Betty winked at Jughead and shoved him out of the car. "It's showtime!"

Jughead grabbed the bat and followed her cute little butt inside.

As soon as he entered, Betty grabbed his hand he put the bat over his right shoulder. Jughead grinned. He was not used to being in the center of attention unless he was being bullied or the serpents had an issue and couldn't take it up with FP. Jughead would rather not be in the gang, but it was his blood right. Therefore, he was the prince of snakes.

All eyes followed Betty and Jughead. He saw his girlfriend. She was eating it up. She deserved this, though. They were straight out of college, and they all came back to help save the town. Jughead had like three jobs, and it was beginning to wane on him. Betty had one critical position, but she wouldn't tell him what it was; it was a secret. Jughead was just happy their high school romance lasted over two different schools and two different states; they never lost that love; in fact, he thinks it became much more vital.

Cheryl waltzed up to them wearing Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas; she wore her costume and makeup well. She grabbed Jughead's left hand, "my hobo, you sure do show your true colors now, don't you?"

Before Betty could say anything, Toni wearing Jack's costume, smiled at Betty to ease tension and took Cheryl's other hand, not the one gripping onto Jughead. "Jones, you look hot in that outfit. You wore it better than me; oh, Cheryl here is clearly jealous you beat her in best dressed out of their element."

Jughead looked at Betty. She just shrugged her shoulders. She didn't want to let Jughead know the Joker was her element, where Harley was only Jug if someone came for somebody he loved.

Cheryl hissed at Toni and let go of Jughead, "I want a picture hobo you and me!" His pleading blue eyes were looking at Toni and Betty. Cheryl would claw him to death. She'd never let him live this down. Instead, they both took out their cell phones and took pictures. After that, they took a few group pictures. The only one never leaving the camera flash was him.

Jughead found his voice and said, "I'm hungry I'm going to find the food"

Cheryl taunted, "of course you are"

Toni looked at Betty when Jughead walked away, "when did he get those abs and that tight little butt?"

In high school, this would get Betty mad, but she knew Jughead rejected Toni, and she also knew that Toni and Cheryl were serious. It was more a friend complimenting her.

Betty wiggled her eyebrows, "He's always had the butt; he just never shows it, he has always been toned, but College made the abs."

"Jones, wow, look at you, man," he heard from his right.

He turned to face who it was, "hey, fangs." Of course, it was Fangs in a Vampire costume. Jughead figured it fit his namesake, but he thought Fangs was more the werewolf type.

"Love that look bro if you were bi and not with Betty, i'd so take you home" Fangs thought he saw Jughead blush but it quickly vanished.

Jughead was laughing, "so you could suck my blood and make me yours?"

Fangs was blushing now as Jughead was eating the Chips. He was tempted to try the Bats but wasn't sure what Cheryl put in those. So he felt safe eating the chips, Chex Mix, and Skittles. He did have water with skull ice cubes which were pretty cool.

"I'm surprised Betty wanted to show off your assets" As Fangs finished saying this, Jughead almost choked on a skittle. Fangs was right; he didn't realize how much he was on display.

Sweet pea looked at Fangs, looked at Jughead, "I'm not. She's got him all collared like a boy toy." He traced the choker that said Betty's to the handcuffs that were locked. He gulped. "She claimed him; he's off-limits. So, she's free to show him off."

Betty appeared from thin air in Jughead's mind, "That's right, Sweets, don't touch my things."

Sweet Pea whimpered, "Can't we both play with him, Betty? He'd be so sexy, gagged, and tied up!"

Fangs looked at Sweet Pea, "I never knew you felt that way, man."

"Me either tell I saw Jones in this outfit Damn Betty please?"

Betty purred, "Oh, Sweets, you ask so nicely maybe next time, but tonight, he's all mine off limits."

Jughead starred at the both of them, "What the fuck? I am a person you know? Sweet Pea that will never happen."

Sweet pea winked at him as Betty laughed, "We'll see Jones" Sweet pea was wearing a Mike Myers get up that fit him well, the crazed man.

Betty's phone went off, and she knew she had to take this. She had to find Veronica or Archie to babysit her Lil' monster until she could get back to him. After Fang's display, Sweet Peas drool fest, and Cheryl's jealousy, she knew he needed to be watched. Toni and Kevin would be going with her, so clearly, they couldn't protect her man. She was glad Kevin hadn't seen him yet; he might not leave with her.

She found Veronica dancing with a mobster she presumed was Reggie. She knew Reggie hadn't always been friendly to Jughead, but with Veronica on watch, he would be. She took Veronica's hand. She was dressed up as the green power puff girl.

"Veronica, I need you"

Veronica looks at Betty, "Did he come in his pants"

Betty smiled, "no, but almost I stopped it before that happened"

"Oh, you tease!" She looked at Betty's expression, a sense of dread on her face, "you got the call?"

Betty whispered, "I got the call"

"Go get Kevin and Toni, Reggie and I will make sure nothing happens to Jughead Jones the 3rd."

Reggie nods, "Yeah, we'll take care of Wednesday for yah"

She snarled at Reggie, "Maybe, I should let him use that baseball bat on you!"

She looked at Veronica, "If he's going to be like that, keep him away from Jug. He doesn't need that right now!"

"Reggie, you will be eating those words when you see him. I hope Veronica gets a picture of it."

At that, she walks off to collect Toni and Kevin......

“So your room or mine?” Betty had asked as she approached Jughead at lunchtime taking the seat next to him as he continued to stare at the flyer for the Halloween drive in. Beaten by fucking Twilight: Breaking Dawn. She put her arm around him as she rested her chin on his shoulder as she looked at the source of his unhappiness.

He had lost again.

She didn’t mind though, it was becoming a monthly tradition of sorts for them. Watching a movie curled up together on his bed or hers. Watching one movie, which sometimes turned into two or three. But always inevitably leading up to a impromptu sleepover which had their respective roommates teasing them incessantly the next day.

“Mine.” Jughead grumbled in response. Betty placed a kiss on his cheek as she took the flyer from him and scrunched it up throwing it into a nearby trashcan slightly disappointed that Jughead had been too busy moping to see her excellent shot. She reached into her bag and pulled out a brown paper bag placing it in front of him.

He turned to look at her questioningly before taking out the foil wrapped object. “I thought you might be a little down today so I made you your favourite.” Betty smiled as Jughead unwrapped her parcel to find brownies. Not just any brownies though. Betty’s double chocolate peanut butter brownies. He let out a groan as he quickly devoured one. Closing his eyes as he savoured the flavour. Betty let out a giggle as she watched Jughead have his intimate moment with her cooking.

“Did I mention that you’re the best girlfriend ever?” He said as he finished chewing and went to grab another one.

“Maybe.” Betty said with a smile unable to stop the blush as Jughead gave her a quick kiss before he returned his attention to the pile of delectable goodies in front of him.

She was waiting for him as he leaned back on the bed after hitting play. The movie started and she leaned into him more heavily, her hand already grasping the material of his t-shirt.

“Hey,” he whispered. “We don’t have to.”

“No, it’s okay. I want to,” she whispered back to him as she returned her face to rest against his chest as her eyes returned to watch the screen. He tightened his grip around her shoulder and pulled her closer feeling her warm body up against him. He could feel her body tensing against him as the scene played out. The tension increasing through the camera work and music and at the final reveal Betty let out a squeak and hid her face against his chest. His hand was moving up and down her arm as she took hold of his hand that was resting in his lap.

“Can you tell me when it’s over?” she said her voice muffled against his shirt.

“You can look now.” He said as the scene changed and Betty relaxed back against him still clasping tightly onto his hand as she braced herself for what was to come next.

They continued like that through the movie. Betty would hide her face against his shirt when it became too much and Jughead would let her know when it was safe to look again. Each time Betty would give him a sheepish thank you and a quick kiss against his chin. She even let out a few chuckles at the dark humour which Jughead could appreciate.

Jughead reminded himself how lucky he was to have Betty. He was grateful that his choice for the drive in had been refused in a way otherwise she may never have invited him to watch the movie with her. He would never have had the confidence to just approach a pretty girl like that and ask her out. But now they were here after three months and Jughead continued to just fall for her more and more.

He felt her breath a sigh of relief as the credits rolled and she started to get up from her position and stretched her legs out on the bed in front of her. Jughead flexed his hand which had been released from her grip.

“Sorry.” Betty looked as he stretched out his hand and felt a little guilty for grasping it so tightly through the film.

“It’s alright. I’m sure the feeling will return soon,” he quipped as the concern melted away and was replaced by a mischievous grin.

“Good,” she replied as she shifted back towards him. Her leg swung over his lap as she placed herself on top of him. His hands automatically went to her hips as she straddled him. “Because I need your help with something to help take my mind off things that go bump in the night.”

“Well Betts as your valiant protector. I feel that it is my duty to assist you in whatever you may need.” His fingers were already shifting under her shirt and she gasped at the coolness of his fingers against her bare skin. Her arms were draped over his shoulders as she brought her lips to his and kissed him deeply. Allowing him to continue to move his hands up under her shirt, massaging the muscles of her lower back to melt away the tension that had formed there.
