Night of the iguana

By Town Girl
Part 1
Poor Ethel, She couldn't get Jughead to be a couple with her for the monster movie marathon!

Sighing, as she collected her purse, Ethel suddenly hatched a clever, but bad idea.

If I can't get Juggie to go with me....

She slowly opened her iguana, Elizabeth's cage.

Hello Elizabeth... Don't make a sound!

But you’re coming to the Riverdale theatre with me!

Elizabeth seemed to lick her lips at the thought of popcorn...

Ugh.... My purse wouldn't be big enough! Sorry Elizabeth!

Elizabeth seemed to frown...

Some times I swear that Elizabeth can understand me! Thought Ethel...

But just as Ethel was about to leave, something caught her eye...

Oh! My big purse!

Ethel went over to her stuffed closet.

Her Purse was near oil!

I guess I will have to pull it out! Thought Ethel...

Ethel grabbed the handles of her purse, and pulled!

Ugh! This will be harder than I thought Ethel sighed with impatience.

Ethel looked around for something that could help her with the situation...

The vacuum cleaner! Thought Ethel, as her eyes rested on the huge vacuum cleaner, about the size of 3 cars!

So straining her self to get it in place...

She turned it on, Ethel pushed through her closet...

OH NO! The vacuum cleaner was blowing stuff EVERY WHERE!

Clothes were getting caught; hats were blowing all over the place,

And Ethel's purse...

No! Yelled Ethel, as her purse got sucked by the vacuum cleaner.

Ethel rushed, turned the vacuum cleaner off, and pulled her purse out...

Oh no! Thought Ethel, as she stared in horror, at the huge, size of a foot ball hole in her huge purse!

What am I going to do now? Thought Ethel.

Just then, Ethel spotted duck tape on the top shelf of her closet.

If only I could reach it! Thought Ethel...

Ethel looked at the stilts she had got for Christmas...

Hmm... Thought Ethel.

Well maybe I could... Thought Ethel.

So, balancing on her stilts, Ethel reached for the duck tape...

Got it! Thought Ethel, as she grabbed the duck tape with one hand...

Then some how, Ethel lost her balance, and...

She was falling down! No! No! Yelled Ethel, as she fell down on to her closet mess.

Oof! Ethel landed safely on a huge pile of clothes...

Whew! Thought Ethel as she got up.

She duck taped her purse with a huge wad of duck tape...

Finally! Thought Ethel, as she collected the very happy Elizabeth from her cage...

What a mess! Thought Ethel, looking around her...

Ethel looked at her watch...

Oh no! No time to clean up now!

Ethel, not even stopping for breath, ran out the door...

Part 2

Ethel was tired when she finally arrived...

She ordered a large pop corn and soda for her and Elizabeth to share!

She sat next to Betty and Nancy.

Glancing both ways, Ethel stuffed a huge handful of popcorn in her purse.

Elizabeth shrieked with joy!

What was that? Betty asked Ethel.

Thinking fast, Ethel replied, I think it was the movie!
Ethel, the movie hasn’t started yet! Betty reminded her.
Oh… Well it sounded like someone’s cell phone!
We have to turn our cell phones off! Replied Nancy.
It could have been somebody’s kid! Ethel told Nancy.
True, but it just seems strange… Commented Betty.
Hey! Where is Veronica? Ethel said all of a sudden.
Oh! She’s with Reggie this time! She wanted to make it up to me more! Explained Betty.
Whew! Thought Ethel. That should make them forget about it for a while!
When is the movie going to start? Asked Veronica impatiently.
Soon! Replied Chuck. It’s darkening!
Oh! The movie is about to start! Called Midge.
Duh… Then why isn’t it starting? Asked Moose.
Look! There is an announcer! Replied Betty.
Elizabeth poked her head out curiously.
The announcer was a tall, important looking woman.
Today we are having a very special guest!
He will be coming from hours away,
Just for this special Monster Movie Marathon! You may ask him questions when he arrives!

But for now… Enjoy the show!
The crowd clapped wildly!
Wow! Thought Ethel, as she stuffed some popcorn in her purse for Elizabeth.
The movie was called, Don’t Think Once! Think Twice!
Ethel gulped at that title!
She wondered if she should have brought Elizabeth!
What’s wrong? Asked Betty. Swiftly, Ethel replied, nothing! My throats just dry!
Drink your soda then! Replied Betty.
Ethel sipped her soda.
Thanks! Exclaimed Ethel.
The movie was about someone who hired a Vampire!
It was terrifying!
Elizabeth was getting impatient.
Alright, Alright! Whispered Ethel, sneaking more popcorn in her purse.
And now, before our next feature begins, our guest has arrived!
Please welcome….. Mr. George W. Bush!
The crowd clapped wildly.
Thank you, and good day!
Before we begin, you may ask questions!
I just want to say, today is my niece’s birthday!
Yes? The red head? Asked the president.
Do you have any allergies? Asked Archie
Yes. I am allergic to iguanas! I get a terrible rash! Replied George W. Bush
Yes? Raven haired guy in the checkers?
What is your niece’s name? Asked Dilton.
Her name is Elizabeth! Replied George W. Bush.
Well, George, does your niece like popcorn? Asked the announcer.
Yes! She loves it! Replied George W. Bush
Well how would you like this 4 lb, extra butter popcorn? Asked the announcer.
Whoa! Gasped Jughead, amazed.
Yes! She would love that! Replied the president.
We will just set this here… Exclaimed the announcer. As 2 strong men pushed near the edge of the stage.
Elizabeth popped her head out, eyes wide at the gigantic popcorn container.
Ethel noticed Elizabeth was leaning over.
No Elizabeth! Whispered Ethel.
You’ll be spotted!
She pushed Elizabeth’s head down, and zipped her bag so there was enough air to breath.
Unfortunately, Elizabeth was clever, and remembered the vacuum cleaner incident! Aka, the vac attack!
Elizabeth clawed, and jumped and some how managed to get out!

Part 3
The Movie title appeared on the huge screen…
Night Of The Iguana!
Ethel got nervous, but told herself it was nothing!
Mean while… Elizabeth climbed Veronica’s leg, and dived in to the popcorn!
When Veronica saw Elizabeth, she screamed a deafen scream!
Eek! Get this thing off of me!
Elizabeth climbed on a little girl. Mommy! Help me!
She went to every one! Spilling popcorn!
Nobody knew what was happening! They were to busy screaming!
Finally, Elizabeth rested under the stage, and waited…
Silence! Yelled the announcer.
Let our president speak!
The room silenced.
I am sorry, we had a lot of commotion!
It was just a spider or insect!
Nothing to worry about!
Any way… Said the president.
It has become about time for my speech. There is a poem for my niece…
I would like to share it!
Meanwhile… Elizabeth was thinking, they said that popcorn was for me! I will wait for them to call me!
Elizabeth, Elizabeth, come here, my dear…
While the president was making his speech, Elizabeth sneaked to the huge magnifying glass…
Ethel thought Elizabeth sure was being quiet!
She searched her purse…
Oh no! Whispered Ethel to Herself…
The hole was in her bag!
Slowly, Ethel stared in horror at the huge iguana standing behind the magnifying glass!
It was Elizabeth!
Fortunately every one was too engrossed in the president’s speech.
The moment he stopped, the president picked up his small popcorn and began to eat.
Giant 3_D Iguana! Yelled Jughead.
Aaaaaah! Eeeeek!
The crowd loved the 3_D iguana!
President George W. Bush was confused…
But thinking it was just the movie he didn’t bother.
Are there any more questions? He asked.
Elizabeth ran to the giant popcorn, climbed it, and jumped in!
While the president was answering questions, Elizabeth tipped the popcorn all over!
She landed in the president’s small popcorn!
Amazed, but still eating, George W. Bush picked up Elizabeth, and she climbed all over him!
EEEEK! Help! Iguana! Call a doctor! Yelled the president!
This time for real! Popcorn buried every one; Elizabeth scraped their clothes, and ripped them!
Is that ELIZABETH? Asked
Part 4
Betty.
Gulp! Yes! It’s her! Replied Ethel sadly.
All of a sudden, the FBI came in.
Whose iguana is this? They asked.
Ethel looked nervously at Betty.
It... Its mine! Ethel managed to say.
You are to clean up the WHOLE theatre, and take President George W. Bush to the nearest clinic! Screamed the announcer.
Bu… But I can’t drive! Stammered Ethel, remembering her driving incident.
Well get some one to drive you! Yelled the announcer, out raged!
I will! Exclaimed Betty right away.
Thank you Betty! Gasped Ethel gratefully.
The reporters, police, and newscasters made way for Ethel, Elizabeth, Betty, and the president.
Betty drove as fast as the speed limit said.
Hurry! Hurry Betty! Exclaimed Ethel, seeing that the president was fatigued.
They arrived at the closest clinic and went inside.
Please! Please! We need a doctor right away!
Betty told the nurse.
Yes miss! Replied the nurse.
Doctor, doctor, do you have time for a sudden appointment? Asked he nurse.
Yes! I have no more appointments for today! Replied the doctor.
The doctor will be with you shortly! The nurse explained
Come to my office! The doctor told them.
Not much later…
How is he? Asked Betty.
He is fine but, the allergy caused a bad rash! The doctor explained
He will need to take these pills and this cream for a week!
Thank you! Replied Said Betty.
That will be 4.50$! The doctor told them.
Betty and Ethel split their money.
Here you are! Said the doctor.
Thank you! Replied Betty and Ethel.
When every one hopped in Betty’s car, Betty gave the president his prescriptions. Thanks! He said to Betty.
Your welcome! Betty Replied.
And so…
When they arrived at the theatre, every one except the announcer left.

Now clean up this mess! Screamed the announcer.
But how am I going to clean up THIS? Asked Ethel.
You’ll figure it out! Replied the announcer.
Oh! I know! I have a HUGE vacuum cleaner!
NO vacuum cleaners in the theatre! Replied the announcer, and then left with President George Bush.
What am I going to do now??? Ethel asked Betty.
Simple! Replied Betty.
Betty whispers something in Ethel’s ear.
Oh! Yeah! Agreed Ethel.
Later at Ethel’s house…
So how did you do it? Asked Nancy.
Yeah, agreed Midge. How?
Please tell us! Exclaimed Veronica.
Well… Started Ethel.
Betty giggles.
Let’s just say Elizabeth finally got her fill of popcorn! Replied Ethel, pointing at her pudgy iguana.

Thanks,Pureheart!:)

THE NIGHT OF THE IGUANA

"Hey Juggie, wanna dance?" asked Ethel, as she dragged Jughead out onto Pop's dance floor.
"As if you were going to give me a choice!" mumbled Jughead.
Veronica and Reggie started dancing along side them. Moose, Midge, and Betty started humming and tapping to the music.
All of a sudden the door burst open and Archie flew in the door. He was breathing heavy as if he had just been running. He flung himself into a booth and threw a crumpled up piece of paper at the table.
Betty picked up the paper and began reading it out loud......
"Monster movie fandango
local movie theator
monster movies all night
5 dollars a person
buy your own popcorn."
Betty finished reading and looked to see everyone crowded around her.
"That sounds like fun! Lets go to it Moose!"
"Duh....sure Midge," Moose answered his girlfriend.
"Archies taking ME!" Betty and Veronica shouted at the same time.
Both girls stared at Archie. His face got red and he pulled at his collar. "Uh maybe we should all go together. As a group,"
Betty was content with that idea. "Are you going to go Ethel?" Betty asked.
I"'d love to..but, I promised Elizabeth that i would spend time with her sooo.."Ethel started to say.
"Who's Elizabeth?" asked Moose.
"Her iguana," Betty answered for Ethel.
"Come on Ethel! It's a once in a life time chance! You can't miss it!
Well, Okay," said Ethel.

AT MOVIE THEATOR

"Archiekins, I'm so glad you brought me here! I even got my hair done for this special ocasion. They call it high ala'hair. It's the style in paris. A Lodge gets only the best you know," Veronica said as she fluffed her hair.
"He brought US here," Betty said and rolled her eyes.
"High ala'hair?" Asked Reggie. I thought a beehive landed on your head!
Veronica began to shout at Reggie but Betty didnt hear the argument. She was being pulled away from the group. Betty turned around and saw Ethel. Ethel put a finger to her lips and brought Betty to a spot away from the group.
"Betty, I have a problem. I felt so bad about leaving Elizabeth that... " but Ethel didn't get to finish what she was saying because Betty interupted her.
"I'm sure Elizabeth will understand. You can hang out with her some other night and.." This time Ethel cut Betty off.
"I felt so bad about leaving her that I didn't!" Ethel finished.
Huh? Betty said.
Ethel opened up a big grown bag. Betty peared inside and almost fainted. Inside the bag there was two big eyes staring out at her.
Uhh Ethel, Betty gulped, "you didn't.... did you...Do you know there is something in your purse?"
"Of course. Thats Elizabeth!" said Ethel. She loves popcorn and scary movies. "I just had to bring her. I thought that I would tell you in case anything happens."

INSIDE THE MOVIE THEATOR

"That movie was great!" Betty said to everyone. The first feature had just ended and there was a short break before the next one.
And Elizabeth didn't get into any trouble Betty whispered to Ethel as the second feature started up.
"Yup." Said Ethel as she slipped some popcorn into her bag. Then she reached in the bag to pat Elizabeth and she felt nothing but a couple popcorn pieces.
"Uhhhh Betty, I think you spoke to soon!" Ethel said in a worried voice.
Betty was horror struck but not from the movie.
She grabed Ethels arm and the raced out of theator. Actually they stumbled over peoples feet in the dark out of the theator.
" Where are you going?" Midge asked.
"Ran out of popcorn!" Ethel fibbed.
When they got out of the theator they looked every where. They looked in the bathrooms in the sinks and, to Betty's disgust, the toilets.
"Ethel, Why would she be in the toilets?"
"Oh, its one of her favorite spots!" said Ethel.
So, Betty being the good friend that she was just wrinkeled her nose and kept looking.
After they had searched for about an hour they went back into the theator.
"That took a long time!" commented Midge. "And you didn't even get any popcorn!"
"It was a really long line and uhhh when we got some they didnt put any butter on it so we had to get back in line and uhhh we ate it in line while we waited and then they uhh...ran out." Ethel whispered to Midge.
Betty and Ethel looked under peoples feet as they doged spilt popcorn and soda, but they couldn't find Elizabeth.
They finally settled down to watch the movie which was almost over.
As they watched it a dark figure with a tail came over the screen.
Elizabeth got into the screening room! Ethel hissed to Betty. The girls raced out to find the screening room. As they opened the door Elizabeth ran out and around the corner.
Betty looked at Elizabeth then at a sleeping man in a chair. She quickly closed the door and started after Elizabeth.
The whole gang came filing out of the theator.
"What are you guys doing out here?" Ethel asked them.
"Same as you," Archie replied. "They gave us a 20 minute intermission and we all came out for refills."
"Uhhh Ethel. I think you might want to look at the popcorn machine. To find out what kind of popcorn you want," Said Betty who had seen the run away iguana in the popcorn machine.
The lady at the counter had also seen the iguana in the machine and took off running. Now that the coast was clear, Betty went behind the counter. She looked around nervously while Ethel coaxed Elizabeth out of the machine.
"Archiekins," Veronica said in a pouty voice, "Would you be a darling and get me some popcorn."
"Uhhh"...said Archie as he watched Cheryl Blossom coming out of the theator.
"Well," said Veronica. "If you would rather drool over Cheryl you can forget about me. I'll have Reggie get my popcorn." Then she strode off to Reggie who was allready in line next to the popcorn machine.
Betty saw Veronica coming and ducked. Ethel ducked too. Unfortunatly Elizabeth did not duck. In fact she jumped right into Veronica's hair.
Jughead had seen Betty and Ethel and he had figured out what was happening.
"Veronica, you have a leaf in your hair." Jughead said. "What! That will ruin my hair!" Veronica shrieked. "Reggie look, hot chick at 12 ' 0 ' clock."
Reggie immediatly turned around. As he did so Jughead smoothly took the iguana out of Veronica's hair and handed it to Betty without anyone seeing. Betty handed Elizabeth to Ethel who put her back into her bag. Then they went to enjoy the rest of the movie marathon. at the beginning of the fifth feature Ethel said, "uh Betty, Elizabeths not in my bag," Betty groaned and was about to stand up when Ethel said, "Just kidding!"

Betty Dumps Archie, Reastless, Betty was in the chock a lit shoppe waiting for Archie to come.Finally she decided to call Archie to see if he was even considering coming.After many attempts,fustrated, Betty gave up calling and decided to leave.Betty then decided to stop by Archie's house to see what was going on, all this time she had worried .Wondering if something bad had happened to Archie.That thought went out the window when she spotted Veronica,and Archie smooching .Betty lost her temper and went directly to Archie,and started telling him that she had been waiting for three hours at the chock a lit shoppe. Archie proceeded to explain but Betty wouldn't hear of it! She was tired of being second to anybody!! So she yelled at Archie from the top of her pretty little lungs,I never want to speak to you again Archie Andrews,for as long as I stay mad at you!! To Be Continued....

“Ready for the ‘Monster Movie Marathon’?” asked Veronica, spraying the last of her $50-an-ounce perfume.
“Yup! Archie should be here any moment,” answered Betty pulling her yellow hair into a tight ponytail. Betty, Veronica, and Archie were all going to the Riverdale Theater that night because it was running a special “Monster Movie Marathon”. Everyone would be there.
The doorbell rang and Betty and Veronica rushed to answer it.
“Hey Archiekins!” they both shouted, jumping at Archie to give him a hug.
“Hey girls! We better hurry if we want to get there on time.” Archie replied, rushing the girls toward his Jalopy.
The theater was crowded. Mostly by teenagers.
“Hey guys!” Ethel was walking towards the threesome, with a huge tub of popcorn and a squirming purple bag.
“Hey Ethel, why’s your bag shaking?” Betty pointed at the large purple bag.
“Uh, well, you see…” Ethel had nothing. She decided to spill the beans. “Okay I smuggled my Iguana, Elizabeth, in here because…because she looked so lonely! I had to bring her with me! Plus I can snuggle with her when I get scared!”
Archie’s, Betty’s, and Ron’s mouths hung open as they stared at Ethel’s moving bag.
“What were you thinking Ethel?! They don’t allow pets in the theater! You can get into trouble!” Veronica finally spoke up, pushing her dark bangs out of her face.
“I know! That’s why I hid her in my purse! Please don’t tell anyone about this! Puh-leese!!”
“Uh, of course we won’t, Ethel, but--,” Archie began.
“Oh thank you! I promise we won’t cause any ruckus! No one will even know she’s here!” Ethel winked and headed towards Midge and Moose, who were getting soda and popcorn at the concession stand.
“This cannot go right,” Archie admitted.
“And that’s coming from the king of mess-ups,” Veronica said, referring to Archie, of course.

Inside the dark theater, Archie, Betty, and Veronica made their way to where Reggie, Jughead, Chuck, Nancy, Moose, Midge, and Ethel were sitting.
“Hey guys! About time you got here,” Reggie said from the other side of the room.
“Yeah, well we got held up for a bit,” Betty said, taking the seat beside Ethel. Ethel smiled and slid her purse on top of her lap.
During the first movie, Ethel slipped bits of popcorn into her bag, which Midge, who was sitting on the other side of her, found rather confusing.
“Uh, Ethel, why are you putting popcorn bits into your purse?” She asked tugging on the collar of her cowl neck sweater.
“Oh, well you know I…I want to save some for later, so I’m putting them into my bag.” Ethel put her hand into her bag and stroked Elizabeth on the head.
“Uh, right. That explains it,” Midge said shifting in her seat. “I think.”
And so the first film ran smoothly, but the second? Not so much…
“I’m getting some more popcorn,” exclaimed Jughead, jumping from his seat. It was a 10-minute break before the second feature started.
“What?! You just ate three large tubs of it, two soft drinks, and a half a dozen candy bars! Don’t tell me you’re still hungry!” Reggie replied throwing some candy wrappers at Jug’s face.
“Of course I am, you twit!” Jughead pelted some wrappers back and took off.
“Oh Juggiekins! Be a dear and get me a small tub of popcorn!” Ethel handed Jughead a five dollar bill.
“O…kay,” Jughead mumbled and took the bill.
“I thought you had some popcorn in your bag,” Midge said touching Ethel’s bag.
“Uh, I do!” Ethel said, slapping Midge’s hand. “I’m saving it for my…mom!”
“Riiiight…” Midge turned around, puzzled, and began chatting with Moose.
“She’s on to you, Ethel!” Betty hissed.
“I know! I promise to keep Elizabeth on the down low!”
The second feature began and everyone focused on the screen. Even Ethel, although she should have been focusing on her bag because Elizabeth poked her head out of Ethel’s bag, unnoticed. She slowly slid out and slithered her way down the aisle, watching out for the gang’s feet. Slowly she slid up on Nancy’s chair and was about to dive into the tub of popcorn that was on Nancy’s lap when Nancy let out a high-pitched scream.
“SNAKE! SNAKE!! EEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!” She jumped out of her seat, as did other people, and raced through the exit. It was absolute chaos! People were running around screaming “snake” and many were rushing to the exit.
“Oh no! Elizabeth!” Ethel shook her bag upside down.
“ETHEL!!” Veronica cried over the screams. Security came rushing in and restored order in the room and filed everyone out of the room. Everyone left except Ethel, Betty, Ron, and Archie, looking horrified.
“Does this belong to any of you?” One of the security guard held out Elizabeth.
“Elizabeth!! Mommy missed you! You are in such trouble missy!” Ethel hugged her little Iguana.
“As are you,” said another security guard, holding a flashlight over their heads.

All four of them were pushed out into the chilly night air.
“Ethel. I hope you have learned a lesson,” Betty said, pulling her multi-colored scarf tighter around her neck.
“Yeah I have. Never bring an Iguana into a movie theater.” Ethel sighed and put her hand into her purse.
“It’s okay Ethel. At least you learned from your mistake,” Archie told her, smiling.
“So who’s up for another night of ‘Monster Movie Marathon’?” asked Ron, throwing her arms into the air.
“ME!!” All the others answered in unison.
“Oh that reminds me! I’m getting a frog tomorrow for my birthday. I think frogs like monster movies. I think I’ll take it, and…” Ethel looked at Archie, Betty, and Ron’s horrified faces and added, “Uh, just kidding of course!”
“Good!” Archie said, relief washing over his face. But maybe it wouldn’t hurt to bring a frog, Ethel thought, I mean after all it is small, and it wouldn’t make much noise…
The
End!

Ethel sat silently as she watched the Monster Movie. She was so engrossed in it that she didn't realize Elizabeth, the iguana, was creeping out of her purse! Elizabeth was no longer interested in the movie... instead she was very interested in popcorn! Veronica was holding it, too! Ron is a really neat eater, so Elizabeth couldn't have the popcorn the easy way, getting it on the floor. She would have to climb up the back of the chair. So, she climbed and climbed, until she finally made it. "Yum! Yum!" thought Elizabeth as she planned to climb down to the arm rester and snag some. However, her plan backfired. As she tried to climb down to the arm rester, she fell face first in the popcorn (Ronnie likes to sit all the way back, and off to one side, so no one saw Elizabeth!) Ronnie screamed, "EEK! WHO LET THIS-THIS IGUANA IN THE THEATER!?" Suddenly, chaos struck. Everyone started screaming and running. Sodas spilled, popcorn started dropping (to Elizabeth, that was heaven) ,and candy started flying. Elizabeth scrambled out of the now dropped popcorn, and looked at the theater. The place was trashed. In all of the confusion, Elizabeth was scared. She climbed back up on the seat and jumped, landing on top of a person's head. Elizabeth continued to jump on top of people's heads. "EEK! AHH! YIKES!" cried the crowd."YOW! There goes my expensive hair-do!" yelled Veronica. Meanwhile, Ethel buried her face in her hands, as she realized that she was the only one in the theater that had an iguana. She also realized that she had forgotten to buy popcorn for Elizabeth. But Ethel soon pulled herself together. "I've got to find her!" thought Ethel determinedly. "Elizabeth. ELIZABETH!" Ethel called. But Elizabeth was nowhere close. She was still on Ron's head! And as for Ronnie, she was running in circles, and shaking her head, trying to get Elizabeth off. Finally, Elizabeth gave up and let go. Exhausted and hungry, Elizabeth slunk off to shelter, which was the bathroom. Then she hid under the sink and went to sleep. About ten minutes later, a little girl came over to the sink to wash her hands. When she spotted the iguana, she shrieked,"Momma! Momma! There's an iguana here!" Everyone heard the little girl, and immediately dove for the door. Soon, the whole bathroom was deserted. Elizabeth woke up surprisingly. She stretched, and then went back to the theater. She quickly spotted Ethel, and Ethel spotted her. "Elizabeth! There you are! I was so worried about you! I promise never to forget your popcorn again!" So, the next week Ethel took Elizabeth to a fantasy movie, and remembered to buy some popcorn. So an hour went by, and everything worked out well, that is until, Elizabeth started to get interested in something else. She silently crept out of the bag, and crawled out of the theater, and into the next theater. Soon, everyone heard a faint cry from the next theater,"AARGH! WHO LET THIS IGUANA IN THIS MONSTER MOVIE!?"

NIGHT OF THE IGUANA

Ethel couldn’t have been happier. Jughead was her date for the Riverdale Theater’s “Monster Movie Marathon.” Sure, he’d only agreed to go out with her because she’d promised to pay his way and buy him all the popcorn he could shovel down his throat, but that wasn’t the point. The point was, they were going on a date – and everyone would see them.

There was only one problem: Ethel’s pet iguana, Elizabeth.

“Stop looking at me like that, Elizabeth. You’re not coming.”

“Rauuungh!” snarled Elizabeth in her best monster voice.

“Yeah, I know you love monsters. And popcorn too. But this is a date. I’m not bringing you on a date.”

Elizabeth made her sad face. That always worked.

“I can’t bring you. No pets allowed.”

Elizabeth’s lips began to tremble at the edges.

“Alright,” sighed Ethel. “But you have to stay in my purse. You can’t ruin my date.”

She threw Elizabeth into the purse, zipped it up, and rushed out the door. It was a big purse, so there was plenty of room.

When she arrived at the theater, all kinds of people were there. Teachers like Mrs.Grundy and Professor Flootsnoot. People in costumes. Even a reporter from the Riverdale Bugle. But she didn’t see Jughead anywhere.

“Pssst. Ethel.”

She turned. It was somebody in a Godzilla costume.

“Ethel. It’s me. Jughead.”

“But…but what are you doing in that costume?” asked Ethel.

“It’s a Monster Movie Marathon,” said Jughead. “So I’m dressed up like a monster.”

“No popcorn for you then.”

“What do you mean no popcorn for me?”

“You didn’t say you were going to wear a costume.”

“You didn’t say I couldn’t.”

“I wanted a date with Jughead, not Godzilla.”

“Well, now you get both.”

Meanwhile, Elizabeth was getting impatient. She punched at the inside of Ethel’s purse.

“Rauuungh!” she snarled in her monster voice.

“What’s that?” asked Jughead.

“Rauuungh!”

“Oh,” said Ethel. Uh…that’s just my cell. I better turn it off.”

“Nice ring tone,” said Jughead. “Goes with the monster theme.”

Ethel turned away from him. She unzipped her purse, reached inside, and petted Elizabeth. “It’s okay,” she whispered. “It’s okay. We’re going in right now.”

She zipped it back up and turned to Jughead. “Alright,” she sighed. “Let’s go.”

She paid for Jughead’s ticket and bought him all the popcorn they could carry. Ethel wanted to sit right in the middle, but Jughead insisted on seats at the back. He didn’t really want to be seen on a date with her, not even in a costume.

Ethel was sure he’d have to unmask to eat his popcorn, but Jughead had thought of everything. He’d cut a secret flap into the material that only revealed his mouth.

Ethel sighed. After the lights went down, she put her purse on top of her seat. She leaned it against the wall and unzipped it just enough for Elizabeth to pop her head out.

She whispered, “Stay, Elizabeth. Stay.” And she slipped Elizabeth bits of Jughead’s popcorn often enough to keep her happy.

But Ethel herself wasn’t happy at all. She had to keep running to the concession to replenish Jughead’s supply of popcorn. Sometimes when she came back she’d purposely bump up against the Godzilla head, hoping to dislodge it. No luck. It was on there good and tight. All she managed to do was annoy Jughead.

At the end of the first movie, Ethel pushed Elizabeth’s head back into the purse and zipped it up.

“It must be real hot inside that costume,” said Ethel.

“Nope,” said Jughead. “Got lots of vents.”

“Must be hard to see the movie, though.”

“Nah, I can see.”

“Listen,” growled Ethel, “If you don’t take that head off, I’m not getting you any more popcorn.”

He shrugged. “Fine.” He wasn’t that concerned because he’d smuggled a stash of candy into the theater inside his costume.

When the second movie started, Ethel unzipped her purse again so Elizabeth could poke her head out. Elizabeth waited for more bits of popcorn, but the bits never came.

“Rauuungh!” snarled Elizabeth.

“I thought you turned your phone off,” said Jughead.

“Uhhh, I – I thought so too,” said Ethel.

She grabbed her purse and tucked it against her side.

She petted Elizabeth. “Ssssh,” she whispered. “We’ll have more popcorn when we get home. Okay? You be good. Watch the monsters.”

And Elizabeth did watch the monsters. But not for long. She wiggled her way out of the purse and went on the hunt for popcorn. She crept along the tops of seats, only to spy one empty bucket after another. Or even worse, no bucket at all.

She was about to hop onto the floor when she spotted it: the mother lode. A huge bucket of glorious golden popcorn glistening with extra butter. Elizabeth’s tongue flicked across her lips. She sped across the seats and dove right in. Problem was, a girl shoved her hand in at exactly the same time. The girl sprang up and screamed, flinging the bucket across the theater, Elizabeth and all. It hit Veronica in the back of the head and Elizabeth grabbed onto her neck. Veronica sprang up and started screaming too. Then other people started screaming, even though they didn’t know what they were screaming about.

That’s when Elizabeth decided she liked making people scream. It made her feel big and powerful, just like her favorite monsters.

“Rauuungh!” she snarled. “Rauuungh! Rauuungh!”

She started running across as many necks, hands, and laps as she could. Soon people were yelling and screaming and running all over the place.

The game stopped being fun for Elizabeth when the stampeding moviegoers almost trampled her without even knowing it. The lights came on, but she couldn’t see Ethel anywhere. Then she spotted Jughead and jumped into one of the vents in his costume.

“Aaaah!” Jughead shrieked as he hopped around frantically. He ripped off the Godzilla head and whipped it into the crowd. He fished around inside his costume, latched onto Elizabeth, and threw her into the air. She landed right in the arms of the theater manager with a piece of red licorice in her mouth. The theater manager was not amused.

“Rauuungh!” Elizabeth snarled at the theater manager. “Rauuungh! Rauuungh!” But the manager didn’t look the least bit scared, just angry.

Then she tried her sad face, but the theater manager didn’t calm down. She made her lips tremble at the edges. Nope, still angry.

The manager shoved Elizabeth’s sad face in Jughead’s sad face. “Is this yours?” he growled.

“She’s mine,” said Ethel, plucking Elizabeth from his hands. “I’m really, really sorry.”

The manager asked her to leave.

Before she did, she shouted loudly enough for everyone who was left in the theater to hear. “THANKS FOR THE EXCITING DATE, JUGGIE! BUT NEXT TIME IT’S YOUR TREAT!” Then Elizabeth sprang up and gave Jughead a kiss right on the lips. While he was still stunned, Ethel joined in and planted one on his cheek.

Right at that moment, Jughead saw the last thing in the world he wanted to see: the flash of a camera. It was the reporter from the Riverdale Bugle that Ethel had noticed earlier. “Can I get a few more shots of you three?” he asked.

“Aaaah!” Jughead shrieked, and he ran out of there so fast he didn’t even pick up the Godzilla head.

“Ah well,” said the reporter.

Then he looked at the screen on his digital camera. “It’s a great shot, though,” he said. “Probably don’t need any more anyway.”

He asked Ethel a few questions before she and Elizabeth left the theater. “The story will be in tomorrow’s paper,” he said. And, in fact, it made the front page. The picture was huge.

Ethel decided to put on her own “Monster Movie Marathon” in her backyard. Everyone showed up. Well, everyone except Jughead. No one was scared of Elizabeth this time, but everyone fed her popcorn. And, best of all, she didn’t have to hide in a purse.

Anyway I think this is where a i dropped off...............

The night of the iguana

So that's where they went for Ring 1 and Ring 2.
Veronica: Is there a Ring 3?
Ethel: Don't think so.
Betty: Even if there is my mom won't let me stay out for more than 2 movies.
Ethel: My mom's gone to India.
Nancy: I can't stay either.
Midge nodded.
Veronica: So I'm the only one who can?
Betty: You'll come out with us won't you?
Ethel: I pretty sure Ring 3 is not there.
Veronica shrugged.
Betty: Let's go in.
Midge: Got the tickets?
Betty: Yup!
Ethel walked to the entrance.
Ethel: Long que.
Nancy groaned.
Midge: Oh great.
Veronica: Speaking as a Lodge we move through.
Betty: Speaking as Betty we can't.
Veronica: Speaking as-
Ethel: What?! Spit it out!
Veronica: Come on!
They pushed there way through the crowd and walked to the entrance.
Security Gaurd: Stop!

Ethel gulped.
Betty glanced at Ethel as she passed her bag.

“Night of the Iguana”
By Hilda

Ethel was on the phone with Betty and cried out, “They’re having a Monster Movie Marathon? When? … Terrific! I’ll be right there!”

Ethel hanged up the phone and ran into her room to her pet iguana. She jumped up and down as she clasped her hands together and asked, “Elizabeth, do you want to come and see a monster marathon with me?”

Elizabeth stood up in her cage, leaned against the door and stuck out her tongue.

Ethel ran over to grab a large pink purse from her closet and brought it back. She opened the cage and grabbed Elizabeth, as she stood with her front claws in the air and ready to be held. “But you have to be a good girl and stay in my purse.” Elizabeth looked up at her and stuck out her tongue with a smile.

Minutes later, Betty was outside the theater when she glanced down at her watch until she spotted Ethel walking up the sidewalk. “You’re missing the first movie. It‘s gonna be over soon.”

“Sorry, Betty. I had to feed Elizabeth before I came. She wouldn’t stay still in my purse until I fed her.”

“You brought her?”

“No one will notice,” assured Ethel. “She’ll stay put. She loves monster movies too. We watch monster videos together every weekends.”

Betty looked at her strangely and said, “Okay. Well, let’s head on in. The rest of the gang are inside.”

Ethel followed Betty into the darkness of the fourth auditorium and settled down near the back beside her and Archie.

“You just missed the ending,“ whispered Archie.

“Oh no. I thought we would be back on time to see the ending. I wanted to see what happened to that blob and that couple.”

Ethel then leaned forward and whispered, “I’m sorry, Betty.”

Betty lifted a smile. “Don‘t worry about it. I can always rent it on video.”

“Thanks. Hey, I’m going to get some popcorn. Can you watch… my purse for me?”

Betty paused for a second. “Sure.”

“Thanks.” Ethel then whispered into her purse, “I’ll be back with some popcorn, Elizabeth. You be good.” Elizabeth smacked her lips.

Ethel walked out the auditorium and Betty pulled the purse closer to her. The second movie began and Betty watched attentively at the screen. Archie reached out the tub of popcorn to her as he stared at the movie and whispered, “Popcorn?”

Subconsciously, Betty grabbed a handful and spilled a few kernels into Ethel’s purse. Elizabeth immediately ate them up and stuck out her head afterwards for more. She then turned to the screen and saw a gigantic iguana monster with an eye patch, stomping his way along a crowded street. His feet almost slammed onto a young man until he jumped aside and dived into an alley.

Hearts poured out of Elizabeth’s eyes. She crawled out the purse and onto the arm rest when Betty jumped and screamed. “Ah!”

Archie, Veronica, Reggie, Jughead, Chuck, Nancy and the people in front of them jumped, too, and some screamed out loud. Elizabeth slipped onto her lap and was terrified. Betty couldn’t see her but she knew something alive was on her lap that she wiggled desperately in her seat before she got up.

“What is it?” cried Archie. Everyone else shushed them.

“Iguana monster on my lap!” she yelled.

Elizabeth panicked. She jumped off and slipped into Archie’s sleeve and bolted out from the back of his neck and onto Veronica’s lap. Archie hollered and Veronica shrieked. Some people grew furious that they shushed them until something else happened. A few people ahead of Archie and his friends were bolting upwards in their seats and shouting out with fright.

“What’s going on?” whispered Chuck to Jughead. Jughead shrugged his shoulders.

“Iguana!” shouted a girl as she pointed to the screen.

Many people got up and ran in different directions and shouted for help, while Elizabeth cuddled against the screen beside the iguana monster in the movie and sighed.

“What’s going on in here?” yelled the theater manager.

Elizabeth noticed all the noise on the room that she grew frightened and ran off blindly under the seats.

Some people left the auditorium and one young man held onto the hand of his girlfriend and pointed to the screen, “There’s a real iguana monster on the stage by the screen!”

“What?” chuckled the manager. “That’s absurd! There’s no real….” Elizabeth crawled up the manager’s pant leg and held onto his socks. The manager sprang up and shouted. “What is it? Get it off of me!”

Ethel walked closer to the auditorium but suddenly stopped when she saw people running out of there. “Uh oh…” she thought. “I hope it’s not what I think it is.”

She dropped the tub of popcorn, rushed inside and looked around but she couldn’t see a thing in the dark. As her eyes adjusted to the darkness, Betty ran up to her and said, “Elizabeth is gone!”

Ethel’s heart stopped. She turned to the manager and watched him jump up as he tried to get Elizabeth off his socks. “Liz!” whispered Ethel.

Elizabeth turned around and ran off towards her without hesitation. Ethel grabbed the purse from Betty’s hands and lowered it to the floor. Elizabeth ran off and slipped into it before the manager noticed. Ethel quickly straightened up and turned around to walk out the room after Betty and Archie.

Archie, Betty and Ethel met up with the rest of the gang who were waiting for them by the exit and sighed with relief. “That was close,” mumbled Betty.

“What happened?” queried Ethel with curiosity.

Most of the gang shrugged except Archie. “Your pet iguana scared everyone in the auditorium. We thought it was a real monster.”

“She was fine,” added Betty. “I don’t know how and why she got out.”

Ethel looked inside and stared at Elizabeth’s eyes with wonder until she knew. Elizabeth stared at her with hearts in her eyes and sighed. “I think I know,” said Ethel with an adorable smile. She looked at the gang and finished, “She’s in love with the iguana monster.” Some of the gang chuckled.

"That's so cute!" giggled Nancy.

The Riverdale Theater ran a special and absolutely scary “Monster Movie Marathon” night. EVERYONE was there – including Ethel, who smuggled her pet iguana, Elizabeth, into the theater in her big purse. (Elizabeth LOVES popcorn and monster movies, in case you were wondering.)

Anyway, shortly after the second feature started (it was only seconds after), Elizabeth slipped out of Ethel’s purse and got loose in the theater! It was absolute CHAOS!! Ethel didn’t notice until a big fat lady named Mrs. Puff, screamed and shouted, “What is an iguana doing here!!! AHH!!!”

Ethel checked her purse for Elizabeth, but he was nowhere to be found…… She wondered,” Could the Iguana be mine??”
Just then, she saw Elizabeth under the table searching for food…
“Oh hi Elizabeth… I was just looking for you....” Then suddenly she yelled in a whispering manner “ELIZABETH!!! Come here now!! I was so worried about you!”
Elizabeth was confused, is Ethel worried or relaxed??
Anyway, Elizabeth went to Ethel’s toes, licking it (This shows a sign of love.) Ethel carried her iguana and hugged it tightly. By the time she was done, everyone was looking at her but Mrs. Puff was looking at her in ANGER!! “Oops…how am I supposed to apologise to them??” she wondered
On behalf of Ethel apology, she organized a party for all the people who was at the Monster Movie Marathon last night. It was a blast! Everyone had fun especially Ethel and Elizabeth.

The End!!

elizabeth crawls into archie's pants but archie didn't notice. after a few minutes ethel opens her purse only to find that elizabeth wasn't there. she looks for elizabeth under her chair when she remembered that elizabeth likes people with orange hair's pants. she asks archie to check his pants for an iguana. archie left his seat and asked jughead to go with him to the bathroom. jughead and archie went to the bathroom and archie checks his pants only to find an iguana crawling out of his pants he throws it outside and jughead cathes it. archie runs out of the bathroom when ne suddenly remembered a very important thing he and jugheqad were allergic to reptiles. the next day archie and jughead were lying on there beds breaking out and there hands and archies legs inflated 13 times. ethel then went to apologize to them and says to jug"im really sorry jug how about me making it up to you wih a kiss?" jughead then jumps out of bed and runs while shouting "i'd rather kiss your iguana than you!" while archie laughs at them

I liked your story, Jasmine. :) I didn't get to tell you that after breakfast because I went out to eat lunch and my mom needed to buy some things.

DING! DONG!." Coming " said Ethel.She ran down the stairs as fast as she could with Elizabeth her pet iguana in her bright orange purse. She flung the door open and saw three masked wonders at the door " AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH" SCREAMED. Then she heard the soft laughter of Betty, Veronica, and Nancy from under the masks."Gotcha'" they said still in unbearable laughter. A sigh of relief came from Ethel. That night Ethel, Betty, Veronica, and Nancy were going to the Monster Movie Marathon. "Are you sure it's safe to bring Elizabeth" asked Betty the thousandth time."Of course" said Ethel her voice filled with courage that all was going to be well. Betty and Ethel had fought over the phone about the matter but Ethel had agreed to bring it in a bag. When they got there they bought tickets to the scariest movie they knew about. As they entered the theatre the took far seats. The movie started. abut 5 seconds later the girls sceamed for the boys had scared them to death. The mananger got rid of the boys." At least that is over " said Ethel. It was halfway through the movie " Don't open the door" whispered Ethel. But when the actor did you didn't only hear one bloodshot scream but 2. One had come from the theatre.Cheryl stood up on her chair with a cold and scared face and screamed "lizard". Moments after 5 more people followed."CHECK YOUR PURSE" said Betty in a scared voice. Ethel's face turned vanilla white and she screamed at the top of her lungs" ELIZABETH" it seemed to her that the whole theatre looked at her. Slowly people saw the lizard squirm to Ethel.

"ON WITH THE SHOW"
she said happily.

the end

Elizabeth ran towards Pete's foot and she crawled up his leg while his girlfriend Brittany was screaming because of the scary monster on the screen.

"Brittany that tickles." Pete said after Elizabeth crawled on his stomache.

"That's not me." Brittany said, as she screamed one more time.

"So if its not you, then who...?" the emo kid started to say, as he looked down and saw the lizard crawling up his nose.

"Is...that a...l-l-lizard?" his punk rocker chick girlfriend asked.

Behind the two, Betty and Archie was watching the movie and Betty jerked when she saw the monster on the movie screen. Then when she saw the lizard on Pete's head, she tapped on his shoulder while his girlfriend was screaming again. "Um, excuse me Pete?" she said. "Why is Elizabeth on your head?"

Pete reached up on his head and felt the lizard on his head. "I don't know. I'll give it to Ethel afer the movie."

Once the movie ended, Pete and Brittany walked down the alise and saw Ethel franticly trying to find Elizabeth. "Hey, Ethel, isn't this your lizard?" he asked, as he showed Elizabeth in his palm.

"Oh it is," Ethel said, as she took the lizard from Pete's hand. "Thanks for finding it."

"Your welcome." Brittany said, as she, Pete and Ethel went to Pops.

Thanks, Jasmine! :) I'll read yours right after I eat breakfast. I just woke up right now. :)

Archie Story Contest:
“Night of the Iguana”
Samantha P

“Iguana in Deep, Deep Sauna”

“Elizabeth, Elizabeth, where is that iguana?” whispered Ethel, as she crouched down on the floor trying to find her friend. It’s a Saturday night, what is our Favorite gal doing searching for a reptile on the ground? You see, it all started on the eve of Scary movie night at the Riverdale Theater, everyone was going to be there even Mr. Weatherbee since the school was sponsoring the event and Ethel couldn’t help but bringing Elizabeth along since Lizzie just loves popcorn and the movies. There’s just only one teensy little problem. Elizabeth’s an iguana! Poor Ethel, all of her buds were going to the theater with their boyfriends, and there’s only so much you can do to lure Jughead, so instead she decided to go to the Theater with Elizabeth. This wouldn’t have been a problem if the horrible hadn’t happened! Somehow while Ethel was being distracted by the “handsome and charming” Jughead (who so gentlemanly wouldn’t share his popcorn), Elizabeth crept out of Ethel’s purse and was now loose in the theater. A big man came up to Ethel with a flashlight. “Anything the matter,” the usher sneered, sending shivers up Ethel’s spine.
“No everything is just…. just… um fine, I lost an earring that’s all,” Ethel muttered, trying to remain calm. As soon as the Usher left, Ethel began searching again. “I checked the entire aisle, but all I found was a half-eaten lollipop, an earring (how convenient), a couple of bruises on my arm from being stepped on by other people and this piece of popcorn,” Ethel quietly explained to Jughead after telling him her problem. “Wait-a-minute! Popcorn! That’s how I can lure Elizabeth!”
“Huh?” Jughead said not really following Ethel’s brilliant idea.
“You see Elizabeth loves popcorn and we can lure her by making a trail around the entire theater that leads to my purse,” Ethel explained.
“Isn’t that a waste of popcorn?”
“Be quiet and help! We’ll need a big tub of it to cover Lizzie’s hunger. But where can we…,” Ethel stopped in her tracks turned around and grinned at Jughead’s appetizing tub of POPCORN!
“Oh no! Not my popcorn.”
“Please I’ll bake you 7 sets of cookies and brownies,” Ethel pleaded. She needed to find her iguana and she needed to find her before the end of the “Monster Movie Marathon.”
“Make it eight and you’ve got a deal.”
Ethel and Jughead came up with a plan. Jughead was to line up the popcorn, without eating it, from the door to the theater, past the projector all the way to Ethel’s purse. Ethel would try to find Lizzie on the “corny” trail. It was 9:15 P.M., Godzilla was to show around 9:30 and the screams from the audience would surely scare Lizzie away from Ethel. “Where’s Archie?” screamed Veronica to Ethel as she stormed through the theater doors. “I left him getting candy and now he’s gone!” Then Ronnie spotted him with Betty in the first row. Betty was holding on to Archie because she was “scared” or was it the other way around! Veronica began to steam, fire was in her eyes! “Can’t talk Ron, Bye!” Ethel said as she ran to find Jughead and Lizzie.
“Oh Archiekins!” Veronica called in her sweet yet suspiciously sour tone as she ran down to where the lovebirds were sitting. Munch, munch! Crunch, crunch! “I hear her,” Ethel whispered to Jughead. The two of them tiptoed to where they assumed the noise was coming from. But when they got there, the popcorn was missing as well as the iguana. Unexpectedly, Jughead tripped and fell on someone. “What’re ya think ya doing’?” Moose asked.
“Didn’t mean it buddy ol’ pal Moose, it was an accident,” Jughead claimed, grabbing Ethel preparing to run!
“Oh no it’s 9:30, Godzilla started!” Ethel sobbed. “We’ll never find her!”
Suddenly a black blurry reptile eating a piece of popcorn crept onto the projector casting its shadow on the screen. Then, the figure seemed to come into focus and her characteristics and hue showed on the screen! Everyone screamed hysterically! Godzilla had never looked so realistic and the higher Lizzie climbed on the projector the bigger she became on the screen. “EEEEKKKKK!” cried Veronica as she jumped out of her seat, making Archie accidentally spill soda on her brand new designer dress. “Let’s go NOW!!” She grabbed Archie and started to leave.
“Juggie that’s Lizzie on the projector we’ve got to catch her!” Ethel exclaimed. Jughead ran towards the projector and caught Lizzie in his hat.
“Got her!” Jughead screamed, over the hysteria and chaos happening in the background.
“Quick put her in my purse,” Ethel demanded as Mr. Weatherbee came near them.
“What happened here?” Mr. Weatherbee asked with concern in his tone and face. What was Ethel to do? Well, she did what any brave, iguana-loving honest girl would do, she told him the truth!
“I see,” Mr. Weatherbee said after hearing everything that had happened. “Since no harm was done, I guess it’s all right. Thank you for being so honest, Ethel.”
“NO HARM!” Veronica yelled. “My new dress is ruined all because of ...of an amphibian.”
“Reptile,” Betty corrected.
“Lizzie meant no harm Veronica, and now that I got her back I’ll make sure nothing like this ever happens…… “Oh no Lizzie’s not in my purse anymore!!”
“Not again” Jughead exclaimed.
“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!” Veronica screamed. “Something is crawling up my back!” And just as Veronica said that Lizzie appeared on her shoulder and began to climb on her cheek and licked Veronica! “EWW!” Veronica cried. “Get her off!”
But no one was paying attention because everyone was laughing hysterically over Lizzie, since she was licking Veronica, even Mr. Weatherbee!

The END!!

OH NO WHERES ELIZIBETH cried ethel it was headed to nancy. nancy was terrified of everything but not igwana's suddaly ELIZIBETH jumped up on nancy's lap AHHH screamed nancy intill see saw it was a igwana oh said nancy its only a igwana IGWANA yelled the crowd then elizibith juumped down from nancy's lap and on to jughead's he noticed elizibeth eating his popcorn MY POPCORN yelled jughead and when ethel herd she ran to elizibeth and said to jughead jughead what could i do without you?

Betty laughed.
Ethel: So I'll be right over! Bye!
Betty: See ya Soon.
Ethel hung up.
Ethel: Elizabeth! We are going for a movie with the girls!
She quickly brought out a bright pink bag and put Elizabeth in it.
She changed into a jeans and a t-shirt and ran out the door holding Elizabeth.
She reached Betty's house in a few minutes and knocked on her door.
Betty's Mother opened the door.
Betty's Mother: Oh Ethel! Betty and her friends are upstairs! In Betty's Room.
Ethel nodded.
She walked to Betty's Room.
Betty opened the door and pulled Ethel in.
Betty: We're playing truth or dare but now since you're here we can finally decide which movie to go to.
Ethel: What about........Scary Movie 1, 2, 3 and 4?
Veronica: Ugh! That movie is horrible.
Nancy: What about Ring 2?
Midge: YEAH!
Betty nodded.
Ethel: Sure.
So that's where they went.

Night of the Iguana
By: Pureheart the Powerful

It was Saturday, the day when the greatest horror movie was about to come out. There was going to be a horrifying “Monster Movie Marathon” at 8:00 P.M sharp. Ethel wasn’t very fond of horror movies, but this event was very important to one of her best friends, Elizabeth. Elizabeth was a typical Riverdale citizen you’d expect. She had green scales all over her body and a long pink tongue which would come out of her mouth occasionally. She had beady, black eyes and longer nails than other girls in town. She didn’t wear any clothing, but she had a sense of fashion. Elizabeth was an iguana. She loved watching horror movies and even had a similarity between Jughead. She loved eating popcorn, but she didn’t buy the Jughead size. Ethel loved Elizabeth and was excited to take her to the movies.
“Guess what, Elizabeth?” Ethel whispered as she sat on the couch. “We’re going to watch a horror movie!”
Elizabeth stared at Ethel and stuck out her tongue.
“So, which movie do you want to watch?” Ethel asked as Elizabeth swifted her tail.
“Do you want to watch Silent Gills? Or…. Um, The Pills Have Eyes?” Ethel wondered. “There are so many movies to choose from! Hmmm… -----------Oh! I know, we’ll watch the Exorcism of Emily’s Toes!”
Ethel stared at Elizabeth to wait for an answer. Elizabeth blinked.
“Hooray! I’m glad you finally chose a movie!” cheered Ethel. “We’ll go there at 8:00 P.M sharp! I promise. I’ll go call Betty and Veronica if they’re interested…”
Ethel picked up the phone next to her on a table-stand and dialed Betty’s number first.
(ring!-----ring!-----ring!)
“Hello?” Betty said putting her cell-phone next to her ear.
Ethel looked at Elizabeth, “Hey, Betty! We’re going to watch----”
“A horror movie right? I was going to ask you if you wanted to go too! I‘m over at Ron‘s house right now.” Betty said excitedly.
“So, which movie were you thinking of?” Ethel wondered.
“No credit cards?! Why!?!?!?!?!”
Ethel looked around and scratched her head, “Oh…. I never heard of that one…”
“Oh, sorry, Ethel…” Betty giggled. “That was Veronica… she got in trouble by her dad again… her credit cards melted…she was speed-shopping again.”
Ethel laughed, “So, is Veronica interested in coming too?”
“Yeah,” Betty answered. “We were talking about it the other day! It’s so exciting, we decided to watch---”
They both said, “THE EXORCISM OF EMILY’S TOES!”
Veronica, heard in the background, added , “Gross…. I hope she got a manicure or something. Just think about her horrifying toes being closed up in the huge movie screen. Talk about a horror movie.”
Betty laughed, “Well, I’ll meet you there at 8:00! Bye, I’ll see you later!”
Ethel said bye and hung up her phone.
“Elizabeth! Betty and Veronica are coming too! We better get ready, we only got thirty minutes!”
Ethel ran with Elizabeth upstairs and put her back into her cage.
“I’ll get ready really soon, Elizabeth. I’ll be sure to buy you popcorn too.” Ethel said tying her hair.
Ethel quickly wore her yellow short-sleeved shirt with the letter “E” on it which was colored red. She also wore her long blue jeans which were designed with stars.
Soon… she washed her face, brushed her teeth again, and looked in the mirror.
“I think I’m ready. Let’s go,” Ethel said taking Elizabeth out of her cage.
Ethel drove her car that she got after she practiced driving in Archie’s car. Which was a mistake. But she got a handle of it.
She arrived at the movie theater at 7:59 P.M and saw Betty, Veronica…..and ------Archie?
She parked her car and walked towards them, “Hi, Archie, why are you here?”
Archie opened his mouth but a girl’s voice came out instead, which was Betty, “We dragged him along too because this was really important to him.”
“Oh, I guess that’s alright! So, is Jughead here too?” Ethel hoped.
“Sorry, (giggle), but no.” answered Betty. “He’s probably eating at Pop’s. P.S, I also like your shirt Ethel. I think that “E” stands for your name right?”
“Actually, it stands for my friend over here.” Ethel whispered.
Veronica looked next to Ethel with a question mark over her head. Ron looked up and shooed the question mark away, “You’re not crazy are you? Because I don’t want to watch a horror movie with a ghost asking me for some of my popcorn.”
Archie stuck his hand out straight and moved it up and down, “Nice to meet you, ghost!”
“Oh, no… you too?” Veronica sighed.
“Just play along, Ron, she’s just cracked in the head probably…” Archie whispered.
Ethel said, “Guys, my friend’s over here…”
They looked next to her again.
“What?” they said confused.
“In my purse! I’m going to sneak in Elizabeth, my iguana. She loves horror movies and popcorn!” Ethel replied.
“But that’s not allowed, Ethel, it’s against the rules,” Betty explained.
Ethel put her hands together, “Please! Just this one time?”
“Alright. Just this one time.----But, I’m still wondering about that red letter “E” on your shirt. What’s her name?”
“Elizabeth,” Ethel answered.
“Well,” Archie continued, “Speaking of that red “E” on your shirt, are you guys RED ‘E’ to go?”
The line with the people in it disappeared and they ran to the movie-ticket man.
“Five tickets--- I mean four tickets please for The Exorcism of Emily’s toes,” Ethel asked handing in the money.
The man handed her the tickets, “That’s a horrifying film. You should strap yourselves down onto your chair, that movie will get you all jumpy!”
Ethel replied, “I already brought my own chair strap! I didn’t know that you had one too!”
Ethel walked along into the theatre away from the puzzled man.
Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Ethel bought popcorn, drinks, and candy.
“Elizabeth will love this!” Ethel smiled. “There’s extra butter on them for you!”
Then, they walked to the room of where the movie was showing.
“Come on lets choose our seats!” Archie whispered. “Lets sit over there!”
Betty was amazed that Archie didn’t trip or dump popcorn over somebody.
They all walked over to the seats Archie pointed out.
Archie exclaimed, “Look! It’s perfect! There are exactly four seats just for us!”
“Be quiet!” A man yelled, “Or you’ll receive a knuckle sandwich just for you!”
Archie immediately sat down next to the seat that was already taken. Betty sat next to Archie, Veronica next to Betty, and Ethel next to Veronica.
“Did somebody say sandwich?” the person next to Archie asked.
“Yeah, but I wouldn’t go messing with him,” Archie said looking at the two girls in front of him.
“Archie, pass the pop-corn,” the guy asked.
“Sure. Here you go Ronnie,” Archie said passing the popcorn.
“Archie! What an insult. My voice isn‘t even close to sound like Veronica’s,” Jughead replied.
Veronica gave Archie the popcorn back, “I didn’t asked for this, Archiekins. And just to let you know-------------------------Jughead?!”
“Jughead!” Ethel and Betty whispered.
“Yeah, let me know what?” Jughead asked. “I’m hungry.”
“Just ignore him guys, it doesn’t matter. Let’s just watch the movie, okay Jughead? And please, no more food asking…” Archie said.
Jughead adjusted his beanie, “Alright, alright.”
They all stared at the movie screen and Veronica whispered, “I knew that she wouldn’t get a manicure….”
Ethel reached into her purse to give Elizabeth some popcorn.
“Here you go…Elizabeth?! Oh no!---” Ethel yelled in her whisper. She nudged Veronica who was sitting next to her.
“Ron, where’s Elizabeth?” Ethel asked worried.
“Ethel, you get scared to much, honestly. Even to forget somebody’s name.” Veronica replied pointing at the screen. “Her name’s Emily, not Elizabeth.”
Ethel said, “No! I mean, er…..”
“What?” Veronica asked. “Don’t worry, tell me anything. Nothing can be scarier than this movie!”
“I lost my iguana.”
“AAAAAAHHHH!” Veronica screamed.
Betty whispered, “Veronica! Just because she didn’t get a manicure doesn’t mean that you have to scream!”
“No, Betty! It’s not that! Ethel’s iguana got away!” Veronica yelled out loud, “The thing that looks like a green shriveled up banana! It’s on the loose like a lion! Right here in this theatre!”
“Did somebody say banana?” Jughead asked.
Archie looked at Jughead and whispered, “Yeah, somebody did say banana, but we got a problem! Veronica’s going banana’s and her iguana got lost! Everyone heard her and they’ll go banana’s too! ”
Jughead leaned in his chair, “Ooookay…..But I still want that banana and that sandwich.”
Archie grumbled and a woman yelled, “Everybody! You heard was Miss. Fashion said! There’s a lion on the loose! Right here in this theatre!”
“Run for you lives!” a little boy with black hair named Quentin yelled. “Jean? Hurry up let’s leave! There‘s a lion that’s shriveled up and green in here!”
The boy Quentin ran off with his blonde friend Jean out of the theatre.
“Great, Ron. They all misunderstood you!” Ethel angrily said.
“Well……….. at least they’re all out. It’s MUCH more easier to find your thing with the theatre empty you know.” Veronica said. “It’s as empty as Archie’s head now. And that means that it’s REALLY empty.”
“Hey!” Archie shouted.
“What are you guys trying to find anyway?” Jughead asked. “The banana you were talking about, Arch?”
“No! The iguana!” Archie shouted.
Betty added, “Why else would everyone run out of the theatre?”
Jughead looked at the movie screen, “That.” He said pointing at the feet on the screen.
“Figures.” Veronica added.
“Well, just to let you guys know, I think the iguana’s cool.” Jughead said.
“But you didn’t even meet her yet, Juggie!” Ethel replied.
Jughead yawned, “Of course I did. She was next to me the whole time! She was just watching the movie until Veronica screamed like a monkey.”
“WHAT!?” They all exclaimed.
This time, Archie dumped his popcorn deliberately on Jughead’s head.
Riverdale’s finest and youngest police, Officer Q, who had black hair, grey eyes, and a little bit of freckles, came in the room and looked at the movie screen, “So that’s what caused them to run out of the theatre…Figures…”
Then Ethel walked up to him and said, “Actually, it was because of my iguana.”
“Iguana?” Officer Q said, “I’m sorry, but those shriveled up things don’t belong in here.”
“Great minds think alike!” Veronica whispered.
“Sorry, we’ll clean up the place.” Ethel apologized.
Officer Q looked at Ethel straight in the eye, “That’s right, but…. You’ll have to do that for two months for this incident. You’ll have to come here every morning at 7:00 A.M and stay here for three hours everyday.”
“Yes, Officer Q.” Ethel replied.
“We don’t have to clean, right?” Veronica asked. “Because I just got my nails done.”
“Ron!” Betty and Archie said, “We’ll help to, Officer Q.”
“Some nice friends you got there, Ethel.” Officer Q said. “I’m sorry that you have to come here for two months, but rules are rules.”
Officer Q walked out of the theatre.
“It’s okay, Ethel!” Betty said cheering her up. “It’s not that bad.”
“I guess so. I deserved it anyway. I shouldn’t have brought Elizabeth here.” Ethel said. “Next time, I’m not going to bring her again.”
“It’s best to follow the rules,” Archie added.
“We’ll all help you clean, Ethel.” Betty smiled.
“Sorry, guys, but I can’t clean.” Jughead replied. “Bye!”
Jughead ran to the exit and Archie yelled, “Why can’t you help, Jug?”
“Because,” Jughead replied, “When it comes to situations like this, I’m always RED ‘E’ to leave!”

Night of the Iguana, an Archie vignette
Written by Jeremy Cai Y

"Here we are!" Archie shouted across his right shoulder as he drove his car past the majestic looking building that is Riverdale Theater, and into the large parking area. He reversed the car into a parking lot. After a few moments of inspecting his steering wheel, he turned around in his seat, glanced at his watch and then looked towards the back. He said with a smile, "My watch says the show's about to start! What are we waiting for?"

The group cramped into the back squeezed out of the doors on both sides. Betty and Veronica were the first to exit, adjusting their hair and, in Veronica's case, touching up on some makeup on their way out. Ethel went out the other saide, grasping her small pink purse. And following her was Juggy, holding his big of goodies full of hotdogs, cheeseburgers and all sorts of delicious treats. Juggy was chomping down on a hot dog with just his mouth.

"Archiekins, how do I look?"

"You girls look beautiful!"

Betty and Veronica pecked Archie on both cheeks.

Ethel looked gingerly at her purse, as she followed the rest of the group to the theater entrance. Jughead was commenting on the amount of popcorn he was going to consume during the show, and the most famous love triangle of Riverdale were discussing the movie itself. Ethel, however, was focused on only one thing, her purse. It looked like she was trying almost constantly to vary her grip on it, as if not wanting to crush whatever was inside, and looking forward and around occasionally to see where she was going.

As they approached the entrance, Archie brandished the tickets he had booked a couple of days ago to the movie attendent standing there and after he had tore off the stubs and handed them to Archie, the group walked in, into the blackish confines of the theater. On the screen, advertisements, which Ethel had seen a thousand times on television, played with an almost pristine quality. Archie commented that somehow Riverdale theater had managed to boost its visual quality. Veronica and Betty both agreed with grinning faces. And Jughead, he wasn't listening, he was chewing on his hotdog as usual.

They slowly made their way down the aisle. Along the way, they passed by a number of people they had recognized. Reggie and a pair of guy friends were sitting at the last roll, directly under the ledge in front of a large wide window which Ethel knew was the window of the projector room as she could see a huge ray of light going through it towards the large screen in front of them. Mr.Weatherbee and Miss Beazley were sitting in the seats next to their's (surprise, surprise). And in front of them sat Moose and his girlfriend.

As they sat down, Ethel peeped behind her shoulders towards the back and saw that practically everyone she knew from Riverdale High was there. "Wow, it seems everyone's here, Juggy," she whispered to Jughead who was walking along the seats to the one right smack in the middle of the theater. Jughead gestured that he understood (he had a hotdog in his mouth) and sat down beside her. Betty, Archie and Veronica took their seats as well, Betty, then Archie in the center, then Veronica whose seat was just next to the aisle. Ethel glanced to her right, smiled at Mr.Weatherbee and Miss Beazley, who returned a smile in kind, and then took her seat.

The first movie was one of Ethel's favorites, Jurassic Park. She had watched it, and enjoyed it a dozen times and she literally could quote every scene in the movie in sequence. This time however, she was grimacing every single time Reggie taunted her from the back. One moment, he accused her of being too big, quoting her name with the word 'big' in front, the next, he was talking about how ugly she was. The last straw came when he said something rude about how she walked along the corridors in Riverdale High. That really set something off in her then and she found herself fuming with anger. I will make that Reggie eat his words, she resolved. She turned to Jughead and whispered something in his ear. Jughead's face lit up and he laughed. Then he whispered the message to Betty, who whispered it to Archie who then whispered it to Veronica. They all looked at Ethel with the same sly, mischievious smile. Ethel smiled back at them and made her way to the aisle, walking sideways so to avoid knocking her friends along the way.

As she reached the aisle, she looked down at her purse and then put it up near her mouth and whispered, "Dear, you gotta help me do something, ok?"

After doing that, she skipped up the aisle towards the back wall of the theater and walked along it, avoiding the bright, dusty ray which shone from the projector room onto the screen.

As she crawled on her limbs towards where Reggie was, she whispered something under her breath.

"This is for taunting me, you jerkkkk."

She opened up her purse and lifted out her pet iguana, hung it over Reggie. "Do your work, my dear." Ethel said smiling.

Revenge would indeed be a dish best served cold, as the iguana left her fingers and fell into the back opening of Reggie's collar. Reggie stood and screamed. "AAHHHHHHHH!!! What's this?! What's this on my back?!!!!!!"

Everyone, at that moment, looked back at him. On the screen was a big T-Rex. "How does a big lizard feel behind your back, huh, Reggie?" Ethel taunted. What was originally a perfectly normal movie marathon had turned into the Reggie show. And no doubt, Reggie was the main attraction.

Reggie pushed past the people sitting beside him, jumping and jumping like a bunny rabbit. Ethel laughed so loud then, in fact her face was so red, people would've thought she was some sort of tomato then. She looked down and saw that her gang was laughing too. The sight of Reggie jumping about alongthe aisles of the theater was just too funny not to laugh. Ethel even saw Mr.Weatherbee and Miss Beazley laugh; it was that funny.

Reggie went down the aisle and skipped back and forth in front of the huge screen. He was jumping up and down and at the same time trying to remove his pants. Ethel laughed even louder then, some people on the back row was puzzled as to why she was laughing so loud but most of them were more interested in what was happening down below instead. What was now down below was a genuininely frightened Reggie with no pants, and soon, no shirt. The pants had fallen over the faces of Moose and his girlfriend as it flew across three rows. Both of them threw it down to the screen without hesitation. The pair of pants hit the screen with a loud 'PAP!'

Reggie was now on his way back up the other aisle, jumping and jumping while fingering below his shirt. As he reached the seats at the halfway point, he produced a small blue iguana in his right hand, which he must've pulled out from under his shirt, and threw the iguana all the way across the crowd in disgust. "DIE!!!! YOU STUPID LIZARD!!!"

Ethel was no longer laughing, instead, she was trying to follow the thrown creature's arc of motion in the air with her eyes. Oh gosh, no! Elizabeth!!!

But instead of landing splat on the window, as she thought would happen, it landed on the latch unharmed directly in front of the projector light. Reggie ran, half naked, out of the theater entrance like a person who had just met a ghost in a haunted house. Ethel let out a short sigh of relief as she looked up at her pet for a few long seconds.

Now, instead of the T-Rex on the screen, there was a large shadow of Ethel's darling iguana swishing his tail on the screen. Some in the theater laughed and some were silent. But one thing's for sure, everyone was now staring at the screen in wide eyed wonder.

Ethel quickly grabbed her iguana. "Good girl, good Liz" she whispered to it in a sheepish tone as she placed it back in her purse and zipped it shut. She smiled at the crowd with red cheeks on her face, and then started downwards to where her seat was. She noticed how everything was slowly but surely turning back to normal. Funny how Riverdale is sometimes, she thought. There is indeed no short of strange things happening in Riverdale, she guessed.

Not that that mattered to her anyway, she smiled in a way which indicated that all that mattered was that she had the last laugh.

THE END

Elizabeth crawled under all of the seats and was eating popcorn that fell on the floor. Nancy was terrified of lizards and Elizabeth so happened to jump onto her lap and started eating her popcorn. "Eeeeeeeek!" Nancy screamed it was so loud that everyone in the theater heard her. The manager came running in to see what was going on. "I-it's that iguana!" Nancy said. "It jumped onto my lap and started eating my popcorn!" The manager immediately asked, "What the heck is an iguana doing in my theater?!?" Ethel was to involved in the movie to notice what was going on until Betty came up to her and asked her, "Hey Ethel, isn't that your iguana, Elizabeth?" Ethel right away said, "Impossible! Elizabeth is in my purse in this pocket!" Ethel pointed at the pocket. "WHERE'S ELIZABETH! Omigoodness! That is her!" Ethel ran up to Nancy's seat just as the manager, Mr. Corporelli, asked who owned that iguana. "I'm sorry sir," Ethel said. "Elizabeth must've slipped out of my purse while i was watching! I'm really sorry Mr. C. I didn't mean no trouble! I mean it!" Mr. Corporelli didn't look sorry at all. as a matter of fact, he looked SUPER-MAD and right away kicked her out of the theater along with Elizabeth. "Well, now that it's done and over with, we can watch in peace now." Just then all Once Ethel got to her house, she wondered why their was a lot of cars by her house. As soon as she opened the door, she saw the whole gang watching at her house! "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the theater?" She asked, surprised. "We decided to have our own monster marathon here!" Archie said. "Yeah! It wouldn't be fun without you!" Veronica said. "Oh you guys, you shouldn't have!

The End.
