"T-t-the monsters they're coming closer!"Archie stuttered.
"They're going to eat us!"Veronica cried.
"Oh someone please help us!"Betty screamed.
It happened on a cold and foggy day in Riverdale.Students were practically sleeping in Ms.Grundy's class as usual.
Our hero Archie Andrews is sitting there looking at the clock,hoping the bell was going to ring soon.
"RRRIINNNGGG!"The bell finally rang and the students screamed and raced out to the door.
Archie packs up his stuff and walks out of the door.
Betty and Veronica,Archie's girls are waiting for him outside.
"I have some good news,Archiekins!"Veronica squealed.
"What is it,love?"Archie asks Veronica.
"Daddy got us the tickets to the Halloween Bash!"She and Betty hugged each other and screamed.
"Wow,Ron!The hottest of today's bands are all going to be there!"Betty cried.
"That's right Betty dear.It's the day before Halloween and it will be so cool!"
"That's great,Ron.I have some news too."Archie said.
"Do tell."The girls said.
"I hear the old Bartholomew mansion is being demolished in a week."Archie told them.
"That creepy old mansion?It should be demolished."Betty told them.
"I was thinking that before the demolish date on Halloween,we could check it out."Archie said as they walked out of the high school.
"I'm not sure,Archie.It's rumored to have still been haunted."Veronica said scaredly.
"Yeah,Archie.I've researched it and all of the people who lived there died when an earthquake hit here.People who have lived in the mansion have moved out because they said they could see and hear the Bartholomew ghosts."Betty told the story.
"That's creepy.I'd rather live in a graveyard than that ol' house."Ron said.
"Oh please,girls.Just like you said it's a "rumor".It doesn't mean it's true.Now,on Halloween night I'm going in there and checking it out.Are you with me or not?"Archie asked them.
The girls took deep breaths and said."We're with you."
Archie and Friends
-In-
Ye Olde Ghosties
Part Two
A week after the talk the three adventurers met at the entrance of the old Bartholomew mansion.
"Oh Archie it looks so scary.I'd rather trick or treat than do this."Veronica said.
"Me too.I feel like going home Archie."Betty agreed.
"Betty,Ron,don't chicken out now.We haven't even gone inside yet.We just want to see if the rumors are true."Archie opened the gate.
They walked past a sign that said "STILL HAUNTED"
As Archie got prepared to open the front door,the girls gulped.
The inside of the house was very messy with cobwebs,dust,and mold.
Archie looked around the room.It looked kind of scary but he wasn't about to admit that to the girls.He wanted to act brave around them.
"Archie,we checked it out.Now let's go please."Veronica pleaded.
"Not yet,Ronnie.Let's just check out some other parts of the house."Archie said.
So far Archie,Betty,and Ron checked out some more parts of the mansion but found nothing unusual.
"Now?"The girls complained.
"Yeah,I guess we can go n-"Archie stopped talking as the girls screamed and pointed at the ghost of a woman across the hall."Enough of being brave!RUN!"Archie yelled and the three teens raced down the stairs of the scary mansion.
They stopped to catch their breath in the living room."I think we lost her."Archie gasped for air.
"I don't think we lost contact with the underworld though!"Veronica said.The girls screamed as they saw three green monaters surround them.
"Archie do something!"Betty screamed being cornered to the wall.
Archie looked around at the terrifying monsters surrounding him.Something caught his eye.A zipper in the backs of the three monsters.
"Girls!Look,it's a fake!"Archie cried pointing at the zippers.
"Gasp!You're right!"Betty cried.The three friends ran and tripped the three monsters.As the monsters fell they unzipped the costumes off of three teenage boys.Archie called the police.
"See,Eddie?I told ya we had to camouflage the zippers somehow"A tall blonde boy told a brown haired boy.
"Thank you kids.We have been after these pranksters for long now.We still have to demolish the house but at least we have proof it's not haunted."The police man smiled and left.
"You see,girls?We saved the day.I told you they were just rumors."Archie grinned.
"A-Archie!"Betty said."You know how the police said that the pranksters haunted the place and that it really wasn't haunted?"She said worriedly.
"Yeah."He said.
"Then what is that ten foot drooling monster behind you?"

Aurora:

The conlusion to
Miss Mystery

That Halloween night as Jughead is walking to the dance...

"I hope this goes well."Jughead said to himself "For all I know I might not be able to identify her! Who knows what`s going to happen..." Jughead reaches his destination and enters Riverdale High along with the other teens in costume.
Meanwhile the two girls Jerry and Ethel are making some plans...
"Now let`s go over this again."Ethel began "We are going to sabotage Jugheads meeting with this girl by throwing water baloons at her?"
"Correct Ethel!" Jerry said in reply. "Oh! Look Jughead just walked in. Grab your baloons
and let`s go."

Jughead looked around he saw Archie dancing with Betty and a fuming Ronnie nearby,Reggie talking with Cheryl, and Chuck getting punch for Nancy but no girl in a cape and mask.
"Where is she?" Jughead thinks to himself. He started walking through the crowd. Jughead catches sight of someone in a mask at the end of the gymnasium gesturing him forward.

"I lost track of Juggie!"Ethel exclaimed.
"Me too!"Jerry grew upset.
"Wait I think I see a crown bobbing up and down in the crowd."Ethel pointed to the top of a crown making it`s way through the gymnasium,they start to follow it.

Jughead catches up with the mysterious figure in one of the hallways.
"Are you Miss Mystery?"Jughead asks antiously.
"Indeed I am." She says and takes off her mask to reveal...
"Pepper?!!"Jughead stammers. And yes it was Pepper.

Jerry and Ethel stop in the hallway to see a crowned figure talking with a shorter one but it`s too dark too make out any details.
"Stop right there!"they shout out in unison. and start pelting the two with water baloons. But just then moon light shines through a nearby window to reveal a soaked Midge dressed as a queen and a drenched Moose on his knees dressed as a Leprechaun.
"Ooohhh... Just look at me! My costume`s perfectly ruined! All thanks to you two!" Midge sqreeches at the top of her lungs "You`re going to pay for this!!!!"
"HELP!!!!!!"Jerry and Ethel screem as they sprint trying to escaped Midge who is ripping down the hallway after them.

This story is almost through so I better explain in a short summary from where we left off. As you all have probably guesed Jerry and Ethel had followed Midges tiara instead of Jughead`s beanie down a different hallway than Jughead had wondered into. So jughead and Pepper had a long conversation about the whole boy friend and girl friend thing. Pepper was very understanding and agreed with Jughead to be just friends or maybe in her terms to take their relationship one step at a time. And what happened to Ethel and Jerry you ask? Well they`ll probably be running from midge until Christmas.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Lucy & HSM/HMFAN:

I think you,Maddy F,should write one...or two.Im gonna write another.

kathi:

It's a crisp afternoon, the day of Halloween. Betty sits next to Sabrina Spellman during their final class before school was let out for the day. The whole room is abuzz with excitement about the night ahead. A few costumed students are scattered in the background.
Betty: "Sabrina, LOVE your witch costume, it seems so authentic!"
Sabrina: "Oh, thanks! Halloween IS my favorite holiday!"
Betty's pencil breaks.
Betty: "Shoot, that's my last one! Hey Sabrina, do you have a spare pencil?"
Sabrina: "Oh, certainly!Just keep it for the day, I won't need it at all."
Betty: "Thanks, you're a life saver!"
Suddenly, a roll of Lifesaver's appear on Betty's desk.
Betty thinks, "That's odd, I don't remember those being there... Oh well, must've been leftover from early Halloween candy fixes."
Later on, at the end of the class...
Betty raises her hand with the pencil in it, saying, "Ms. Grundy.." but as soon as she does, Halloween confetti bursts from the pencil, showering the class in glittering sequin pumpkins and ghouls.
Members of the class break out in applause, saying, "Neat trick, Bets" and, "Way to show some Halloween spirit!"
Betty: "Uhh, eeeyeahh... thanks.." obviously confused.
Ms. Grundy: "Well, that's it for today class, be safe tonight and don't stay out too late! We have our presentations tomorrow. And Betty, no more practical jokes after Halloween!"
Sabrina, sitting, while the rest of the class is cheering and running out of the class room: "Now that was odd, it's almost like she used ... "
In a panic, she looks into her book bag, and finds that a bottle of sparkling purple potion has leaked out over all her school supplies, including her pencils.
... MAGIC!"
Sabrina: "Oh no, the potion will have bewitched everything for the next day and night!!" (Little orange and black stars are shooting out of her back pack).
Sabrina: "Ive GOT to find Betty and get that pencil back!!"
She rushes to the window, trying to scope out Betty, and sees her outside getting into ARchie's car.
Sabrina shouts, "Betty, WAIT!! DON'T GO!!"
but it's too late, and off Betty rides with the enchanted pencil.

Next FRAME, Sabrina runs into her house:
Sabrina: "Salem, I'm in major trouble!!"
Salem, sitting on the banister :Oh? How so?"
Sabrina: "Betty Cooper has a bewitched object on her hands, and I've got to get it back!!"
Salem: "Oh, my pretty, how DO you get into these fiascos? Well, not to worry, Old Salem is to the rescue! That is, as long as Old Salem gets a full supply of sardines..."
Sabrina: "I'll do whatever it takes, just help me before Hilda or Zelda finds out!"
Salem: "Alright, here's what we do..."
LAter that evening, Betty arrives at a party where the whole gang is, all in costume.
Archie, dressed as a scarecrow, has a megaphone.
"Alright every one, the Halloween scavenger hunt through the Haunted Hallows and Grim Graveyards begins in 3, 2, 1, and we're off!!"

Everyone scurries around, pairing off into groups.

Veronica, dressed as a vampiress, latches onto ARchie: "Archikins, I think our costumes go together the best, don't you?"
Jughead, as a tin man: "Yeah right! I say we all go together!"
Betty, as a genie, agrees.
Jughead, Betty, ARchie and Veronica head off, when Jughead says, "We'll need a pen or something to mark off our clues"
Betty: "Oh, I brought one, right here!" offering the bewitched pencil from her pocket. Cobwebs shoot all over the place, and onlookers cheer once again, congratulating Betty.
Veronica, disdainfully: "Well, aren't we little Miss Spirited, today."
Betty, liking the attention, "Uhr, yeah, guess so!!"
Archie, "Well great Betty, this is just what we need to have a super creepy scavenger hunt!"
Veronica: "Ahem, the first clue tells us to find the oldest tree in the Haunted Hallows.. that's in the forest, right?"
Jughead: "Yup, sure is, maybe they'll have some refreshments there!"
Betty, laughing, "YEah, and maybe we'll find a clue or two, also, Jug!"
IN THE HAUNTED HALLOWS:
Betty: "Wow, I forgot how creepy it is out here in the forest- I think that old tree over there has our clue!"

From a few feet away, Sabrina and Salem appear in a poof behind a tree.
SAbrina: "Okay, there they are.. now I somehow gotta get Betty to give me back that pencil before too much else happens!"
As soon as she says this, a little explosion of bats occurs next to them, revealing a dark haired man with pointy ears.
Sabrina: "Cousin Ambrose!! WHAT are YOU doing here??"
Ambrose: "Well, seeing as how you didn't want to join your own family on this festive occasion, I thought I'd come over to you!"
Sabrina: "WEll, keep it down, there are MORTALS here, you know. We can't do anything to scare them or make them ask any questions!"
Ambrose: "By doing what, something like this?" A zap comes from Ambrose's finger.

Suddenly, the old tree that the gang is inspecting comes alive, a giant face forming in its bark.
Tree, in spooky voice: "Leeeaave me alooonne, you terrrrible teeeeeens!!!! Leeeavve this plaaaaaceee forevaaaahhhh!!!!!"
Archie and the gang all look at each other for a second, and break out into a scream in unison: "AAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!!"
Jughead: "It's an evil tree, head for the hills!!!"
The gang runs off, further into the forest.
Sabrina: "AMBROSE, YOU NUISANCE!!! NOW YOU"VE RUINED EVERYTHING!!"
Ambrose: "Well, what do they expect?! THey're IN the Haunted Hallows!"
Sabrina: "You just lost me my way out of punishment from the aunts!! One of those girls has a pencil that I accidentally bewitched!!"
Ambrose: "Hmm, well, I think i still hear them screaming, they aren't that far off...
(to the tree) Evening Bob."
Old Tree: "Yo 'Brose."
Sabrina: We've GOT to get that PENCIL!!
Meanwhile, the gang has stumbled across the next clue(A big jack o lantern:
Betty, reading the next clue:
"By a grave stone, ye may see, a ghost, a ghoul, one, two or three.. okay, I'll mark that clue off." (she marks the clue with her pencil).
Suddenly, from behind them, they hear a moaing sound:
"Ooouuuhhhhggghhhhg!"
Veronica: "Yikes! What was that??"
From behind a tree, tthey see an apparition, with dim ligghts coming out of ghastly socketed eyes, moaning.
Archie: "Its the ghost of the Hallows, RUN for your LIVES!!!" They take off, and soon after, Sabrina follows with Ambrose and Salem.
The gang heads into the graveyard, and Jughead says, "Y'know, I don't think I've ever had a Halloween quite like this one!"
the rest: "ME NEITHER!!!"

"ALL TRICK AND NO TREAT"

First frame: Achie and Betty returning costumes in the costume shop:
Betty: Mr. Pansky, cancel all those costumes you were holding for Archie and me."
Mr. Pansky: "Oh, alright Betty, but can I query as to why?"
Betty: "Well, it's just too darn hard to plan our Halloween dance with all those Pembrook pirates looking to ruin it all for us!"
Archie: "Yeah, we are just opting out this year. Maybe we'll have fun giving out candy to trick or treaters or something."
Mr. Pansky: "Gee, I'm sorry to hear that, you two, I sure wish there were something I could do!"
Arch and Betty looking bummed: "No thanks Mr. PAnsky, it looks like it'll be a dull one this Halloween."

Pan out to TWO DAYS EARLIER...


Betty, walking home from school, when she's sighted by Cheryl Blossom and some of her conniving guy and girl friends from Pembrook. They sneak up on her and sillystring her from the bushes, surprising Betty.

Cheryl: "Hey Betty, you know we're gonna find out where your party is this year."
Friend 1: " Yeah, and when we do,we're gonna make it a night of ghoulery and tomfoolery to remember!!"
Friend 2: "HAHA remember last year when we dyed the punch black and everyone looked toothless for two weeks??"
"HA, and also when we let the skunk loose in the gym where the dance was?? HA! You all stank for OVER two weeks!!" They all break out into laughter.
Cheryl: "Let this be a warning for you swine this year!! We're taking no prisoners!!" They hop into a candy apple red hot rod and peel off, leaving Betty coughing in the exhaust.

Betty: {cough cough) Those Pembrook snobs sure are unpleasant this time of year." Starts walking on. "And they ALWAYS figure out a way to destroy our otherwise amazing Halloween dance!" I jsut wish there were some way we could get back at them without having to stoop to their immature, nasty little level!"

NEXT SCENE: at Pop's, Archie, Jughead, Betty, Veronica and Reggie are all talking over shakes.
Archie: "I don't think I could TAKE another year of those snivelling, spoiled miscreants having their way. We HAVE to stop them."
Veronica: "Yes, but HOW?? Even though we had bodygaurds and bouncers at my party last year, they still snuck in and wreaked havoc!!"
Jughead: "I hate to say it gang, but it seems to me the only way to avoid those preening pranksters is to avoid having a party at all."
Archie, Reggie, Veronica and Betty all together: "ARE YOU KIDDING??"
Veronica: "i simply wouldn't be able to LIVE with myself if we let them have their way!"
Betty: "Okay, hold on, gang. There has GOT to be a way around this. We'll still have our fun this year I guess we should tell our friends that we're foregoing the best night of Fall in Riverdale this year, and make up for it in some other way."

NEXT SCENE: The day of the Halloween dance:

Cherl and the Pembrook snobs sneaking onto the Riverdale campus to spy:
Friend 1: "Quick, over here by the gym: I think I see Josie and the Pussycats talking about the dance tonight:
Josie: Coach Kleats, I don't think we're going to need to set anything up for a concert in the gym tonight, we've all had it with the Pembrook pranksters. Maybe next year." Sullenly, she Valerie and Melody walk away.

Cherl, whispering: "Okay, so maybe they're not having it in the gym this year, but I know their wily ways! They're up to something, and we're gonna figure out what it is!"
Friend 2: Let's stop by the art studios, and see if Chuck Clayton's making any decorations for tonight!
NEXT SCENE: Spying on Chuck Clayton painting some monsters in the studio:
Friend 1: HAHA BINGO!! "It looks like Chuck certainly IS making something ghouly for tonight!!"
Chuck: " Hey Dilton, can you help me move all this over to the Lodge mansion tonight around 7??"
Dilton: "Sure thing, Chuck!"

Pembrook kids, whispering:
"Jackpot!! IT's SO OBVIOUS!! You'd htink they would try to cover up their tracks more!!"
Cheryl, smirking: "So, I guess I'll meet you guys around 7, say, the Lodge mansion??"
Friend 2 "Sounds like a plan!!" all laugh, devilishly.
NEXT SCENE: AROUND 7, the Lodge Mansion, the Pembrook kids:
Friend 1 "Okay, we've been here a half an hour, and zip has happened!"
Cheryle: "Wait, I see Dilton coming out of the gates! I KNEW something was up!"
Friend 2 to Dilton:
"FREEZE!! We know there's a party going on, and you're going to get us in or pay the price, dweeb!!"
Dilton: "Um, I'm no genius, but if there arent' any cars or guests, doesn't that mean that there's no party??"
FRiend 2: "I guess he has a point, I' havent seen any signs of human life around here for almost an hour."
Dilton: " I was just helping Chuck deliver some pieces that were commissioned by Mr. Lodge."
(all walking down the street)
Dilton: "I guess you all got dressed up for nothing. Sorry to dissappoint."
Cheryl: "I still don't trust you, and I am deTERmined to have Archie see me in THIS stunner." She's wearing a skimpy devil costume.
Dilton: "Wait, I even see Archie and Betty coming going into the costume shop- ask them!"
Cheryl to friend 1: "Quick, go see what's happening!!"

Friend one accosts Archie and Betty coming out of the Costume shop
Friend 1: "Returning some costumes, eh?? It looks like we have officially shut Riverdale DOWN!!"
Archie: "Yeah, well we'll get you back for this, make no mistake!!"
Betty: "We may not have a party in Riverdale this year, but we'll get you!!!"

Friend 1: "Cheryl, it looks like the jig is up, why do you still have that sly little expression on your face??"
Cheryl: "I KNEW this would happen. They're still lying to us. When we saw Betty the other day, I put a tracker on her cell phone (holding the tracking device). It looks like they're as determined to lie to us as we are to them!
Next FRAME! Cheryl: "Quick! This thing is showing that she's moving towards the marina! To the docks!!"
NEXT SCENE: FINALLY, AT THE DOCKS:
Cheryl: "Where is everybody?? Maybe they're having a party on the pier?? Oh wait!! I see the tracker!! ... what's it doing down on the beach??
NEXT FRAME: scampering onto the beach, lit by moonlight"
Cheryle: "Got it!!" What the heck is this doint here??!!"
As soon as she says this, she and all of her friends are sprayed with water hoses.

After getting waterlogged, Cheryl and all her friends are knee deep in muddy sand, unable to move. Betty, Veronica and the gang are manning the hoses.
Veronica, to a big crowd of Riverdalians:
"Alright Riverdale, let's get ready to party!!"
They all cheer and board onto a giant, lit up Riverboat. Josie and tthe Pussycats start playing on a stage on the boat.
Betty is dressed as an angel:
Archie: "Well, I guess we all have our guardian angel Betty Cooper to thank for this one!
CHeryl: "Hardly!! Your little angel lied to us and led us on a wild goose chase!!"
Betty, as they are boarding the party boat in front of the dirty Pembrookers: "Hey, all I said was that we wouldn't have a party in Riverdale this year..."

Costume Competition
By:Jasmine
"I just can't make up my mind.I just can't."A frustrated Betty said one Monday afternoon at Pop Tate's.
"Make your mind about what,Betty,dear?"Veronica asks.
"I can't decide what I want to be for Halloween.Something cute or something scary."Betty tells her best friend.
"Hey,Veronica."Jughead turns to them after finishing off his hamburgers."If you want to be real scary at Halloween why not show us what you like without make-up?"He says.
"Take that back,Spindlesnoot!"Veronica chases Jughead around the shop.
"Hmm.I want the best costume there is and I don't know what is available right now."Betty murmurs.
"Oh,Betty you can't possibly have the best costume there is available.My daddy has bought me the most expensive costume that the local store in Riverdale had.Why,we searched long and hard for that costume.Throughout Riverdale we searched."Ronnie told Betty.
"Put a sock in it,Veronica."Betty stops Ron."Where is all this blabbing getting you?I think we should settle this once and for all."Betty says sternly.
"Oh!You don't mean-"Veronica says.
"That,I do.On Halloween at the costume party we will see who has the best costume."Betty says.
"Oh don't worry sister!It's on!I'll be there.But you should have been careful of what you said.Who knows where it will get you."And with that,Veronica and Betty storm out of Pop's.
"But don't you girls want to order-"Pop sighs as the girls leave."Competition.It brings out the best in costumes,but the worst in people."
Betty searches long and hard for the perfect costume.She calls stores all over Riverdale,Midville,Greenville,and,Southside.Betty is the type of girl who never lets up.Any competition brought to her she never gives up.She is determined to prove people wrong.People just like Veronica.
"Hmmm.No.That won't do."Betty says as she looks in the mirror.She is wearing a groovy disco 70's costume."I've got to find something more mature.Veronica may have the most expensive costume but she definitely won't have the cutest."Betty searches around the store until something catches her eye."That's it!"Betty exclaims loudly."That's the costume I want!"
Meanwhile,at Veronica's house or,er,sorry,mansion...
"Betty Cooper,you've got yourself an experience you'll never ever forget.I guarantee it.I will dress up in my costume and Archie will fall over me.Then this silly competition will be over once and for all."Veronica said."So,watch out."
The Next Week:Two Days Before the Party
"Well,hello,hello,Betty."Ron greets Bets.
"Hi,Ronnie.I will be so wild at the costume party.I bought the most cutest costume ever."Betty exclaims to Ron.
"You wish,little girl,you wish."Ron thinks in her head.
"Oh,Betty!I just forgot I have to pick up my expensive costume from the dry cleaner's!It has to be pampered if I'm going to be wearing it.And oh so perfect.See you later."Veronica walks down the street.
"Just wait till' Archie sees me in my costume!"Betty thinks in her head."I will dance the night away and it will be just perfect."Betty walks home.
Day Of The Party
"Oh,Veronica!"Betty calls out to Ron."I made a few arrangements on my costume.It is so cute!"
"What arrangements?Did you have it more colorful?Those colorful costumes can be mighty pesky.Pesky,indeed."Veronia giggles.
"No,Brunette Bombshell!I had my costume shortened!Keep yakking for all I care.But when Archie sees me he will go bonkers!"Betty said.
"Just like you?Face it Betty!You will lose!I will be Archie's number one at the party tonight!He will forgot all about you and your silly costume!What are you going to be anyway?A penguin?See you tonight!"Ron laughs down the street.
"You will see,Veronica Lodge.Oh boy,you will."Betty says as she watches Veronica walk down the street.
At the party
"Oh,I am here.Now the party will be started and Betty will have the worst humiliation of her life."Veronica giggles in her head.
"Wow,Ron.Awesome costume."Archie says as he looks at Veronica in her short Pocahontas like costume.
"Thank you,Archiekins!I-"Veronica stops talking as Betty walks in.Betty is wearing a cat costume.And Archie is dressed as a milk carton!
"Hi,Veronica.Hi,Archie.Are you lowfat milk or regular?"Betty asks him.
"Whatever I am I will satisfy your thirst,kitty."Archie says.
"We cats just love milk."Betty tells Veronica as she is dancing with Archie.
"Oh,that's fine.Just keep your paws off of Archie!"

As Jughead walks into the pet store he thinks "Should I buy the regular brand? Or should I buy the cheaper brand?"
"I'llbuy the cheaper brand, he wont even know the diffrence!"
When he gets to the yard he poor's the dog food into his new dog blowl.
As Hotdog took a bit Jughead thinks "Hmmm. I'll just see if it seems the same or not."
A few moments later he see's Hotdog pretending to choke on it! While Jughead was panicing Hotdog thinks "Oh my gosh! He's trying to poison me with the cheaper brand! He wants me to die!:("
Hotdog waited a little bit, then ran into his dog house, and started barking and growling at poor Juggie for what he's done to poison his dog food.
":(. What do I do to the poor guy? Why did I do that? Why does the world have to go around?!?!"
So he left poor Hotdog there and went out for his favorite pizza.
When Jughead was about to take a bite out of the pizza, he JUST remembered that the pizza he was about to take a bit out of was Hotdogs favorite food! (Besides dog food)
so he took the pizza home and opened out pizza right in front of Hotdog's doggy door, so Juggie went away and waited, and waited, and waited...
"AAAHHH!" Screamed Jughead as he ran up to his bed to sleep, he couldn't wait even though it was only 46 seconds!
When Juggie woke up he knew Hotdog wasn't mad at him anymore, because he was sleeping at the foot of his bed!Juggie smiled and said "It's good to have you back buddy, it's good to have you back..."
After a while he was falling asleep again, but, he really fell!

Thanks, Ghost. :) I also liked your story. :) Funny ending. :)

Continuation of
Miss Mystery

Jughead ran to his house and tore open the envelope. the note read:

Dear Jughead
I heard you`ve been looking for me. I`ll be going to the Riverdale High Costume party if you really want to meet me. You can identify me as the one dressed in a mask and cape.

Yours
Miss Mystery

That day...

Jughead and Archie are sitting at a booth in Pop`s.
"what should I do Archie? She wants to have me meet her." jughead said
"Well Jughead you haven`t identified who Miss Mystery is and this girl really seems to like you! I suggest you go to the party and meet her." Archie replied. jughead thought about this for a second.
"I have to admit you have a point. But I`m not quite ready for girl friend!"
"Then you could just tell her that." Archie pointed out.Meanwhile Ethel and Jerry just walked in, talking about how much of a backfire the interrogating was when all of a sudden Ethel shushed Jerry.
"Look!" She said to Jerry "It`s Jughead. And he`s talking with Archie." The two girls hid in a booth and listened.
"O.K. Archie I`ll go to the costume party and meet Miss Mystery." Jughead said finally. The two boys walked out.
"Did you hear that?" Jerry asked."By 'costume pary' he must mean the one at Riverdale High!"
"Yeah. And that means Jughead is meeting his secret admirerer at the party." Ethel added.
"this is great!"Jerry continued "All we have to do is go to the costume party,find Miss Mystery --"
"And stop her!!!"Ethel finished. "But we don`t know what she`ll be wearing."
"what else would a Miss Mystery dress as? Something mysteriouse!" Jerry said "Now here`s what we`ll do..."

To be continued...

Ann:

“Okay Betty! Bye! Take care of our little Bobby!” Ms. Jacobson said, as she walked out of the door.
“And we’re really sorry we had to make you babysit on the night of the Halloween carnival, but it was an emergency. Our daughter Carol is singing at the Centerville Halloween play! And we couldn’t have the baby there! You understand, don’t you? And you can eat whatever’s in the fridge and watch a movie.” Ms. Jacobson added.
“It’s fine…” Betty sighed.
They slammed the door. “Goo! Gurgle!!!” Bill…sorry, BOBBY gooed.
“It’s not your fault...” Betty said and cradled him.
“Now it’s time for you to go to bed!” Betty said, going up stairs and putting him in his cradle.
She clicked the BABY-TAKIE on and headed down stairs. Betty was bored, so she looked at their movie collection. “Oooh!” She cooed, as she pulled out a scary movie. “Revenge of the Evil Horror Zombies”, I’ve been waiting for this one to come out!” Betty excitedly said.

At the carnival:

“Where’s Betty?” Archie asked.
“Betty had to babysit for the Jacobson’s, so she couldn’t come to the party, marvelous, isn’t it?” Veronica smiled.
“I’m going to go check on her, I know the Jacobson’s.” Archie said.
“I’ll come with you!” Jughead said, as he ran after him.
He parked on the street and saw that Betty’s car was in the Jacobson’s driveway. He knocked on the door, but she didn’t answer! He tried again, no answer. “HAHAHA!” The evil zombie yelled. “SHREEEEEEEEIK!!!!!!!!” Betty screamed at the movie.
“Oh my gosh! That’s Betty’s voice, and the other voice was NOT LITTLE BOBBY,” he thought.
They called Moose and Reggie. “I heard Betty scream at the Jacobson’s! Come quick! ” Archie yelled. “Duuhh…Comin’!” Moose said.
“Reggie! This is an emergency!” Jughead wailed.
“NO! FOR THE LAST TIME NO! I’M NOT GIVING YOU MY CANDY-“
“No, it’s not about that, Betty wouldn’t answer the door! And we heard her scream!”
“OH MY GOSH! I’M COMING RIGHT OVER!” Reggie said. They made a beeline to the Jacobson’s.
“Hey…You too dressed up as the Evil Zombie brothers from “Revenge of the Evil Horror Zombies, cool!” Archie said, as they all immediately rapped on the door.
“I’ll check the window! You check the other door. ” Reggie yelled.
A branch fell off and wacked him on the head. “OW!!!” He exclaimed, just as Betty peaked out the window to see what the noise was.
She shrieked. “A ZOMBIE!!!” She screamed, as she ran to the kitchen. “It was just my imagination.” Betty said, as she got herself a glass of water.
She heard banging on the kitchen door. “Betty! Betty!” Someone shrieked from outside.
“It’s Archie! Betty thought. As she ran to the door. “Archie! There’s a zomb-SHREEEEEEIK!!! THEY TURNED YOU INTO A ZOMBIE TOO!” She screamed and flung water at him.
“I-a-huh-?-wha-?-eh-?” Archie said as the water ruined his makeup.
“Darn” He said, wiping the remaining makeup off. “Duh...What happened Archie?” Moose asked.
“I don’t know.” Archie said.
Archie knocked on the door again. “GO AWAY! EVIL ZOMBIE!” Betty yelled.
“BETTY! I’M NOT A ZOMBIE! I DRESSED UP AS ONE FOR THE HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL! NOW LET ME IN!” Archie yelled.
Betty opened the door. “Wow!” she said.
“What is happening in here? Why were YOU acting so weird?” Jughead asked.
“I was watching “Revenge of the Evil Zombies!” because I was bored and the baby was…,THE BABY!” Betty yelled and checked up stairs.
He had just woke up. He yawned. “I’m glad you didn’t have to see that mess!” Betty said tucking him in. Suddenly the phone rang. “Hello?” Betty said.
“Hi Betty! Were coming home early, the play was cancelled.” Ms. Jacobson said.
“Yippie! Betty said running down stairs. I can come to the carnival after all!” Betty said.
So when the Jacobson’s came home she ran home, and put on her fisher-man costume. She talked and talked with Archie until Veronica came up. “What do you think you’re doing, Blondie?” Veronica spat.
“Why, I’m getting Archie to catch my line!”

THE END.

The Fairy and the Fools
By:Kulsoom

“That’s right Jughead…I’m having my big Halloween bash Saturday night, so you better come up with a scary costume by then.” Veronica Lodge lay on her cherry-colored suede couch, a purple phone glued to her ear, and her long legs dangling off the plush carpet floor.
“Okay, then I’ll go as you!” Jug laughed through the phone.
“Take that back or you won’t go near the grand buffet table!” Ron retorted.
“Sorry, sorry, sorry! So about that buffet…what are we talking? Lobster? Steak? Lobster and steak and…” But Ron didn’t wait for Jug to finish, she closed the phone and threw it on the giant Mahogany coffee table, that was beside her. RING! RING! Ron picked the phone back up and answered.
“Hello?”
“Hey Ron! It’s Betty! I was wondering if you wanted to shop for your costume with me.” Betty’s sweet voice filled Ron’s ear. She pondered this idea for a while and then wondered, why not? This way I can help Betty find a costume that’s just a little less gorgeous than mine! How sweet of me! “Sure Bets!”
“Great! How about tomorrow after school?” Betty asked.
“That’d be perfect!” Veronica closed the phone and placed it back on its cradle.

*NEXT DAY, AFTER SCHOOL*
“I hear this place has all the perfect costumes!” Betty picked up a 60’s style costume off of a rack.
“Oh yes! Most definitely!” Ron agreed taking half a dozen costumes into a dressing room. The two girls were at Halloween Heaven, a costume store in the Riverdale Mall.
“How’s this one?” Ron came out of the dressing room in a black, slinky vampire dress.
“It looks good…but doesn’t everyone do that?” Betty asked, adjusting the strap to her flapper-girl costume. “How’s this?”
“Sooo five minutes ago,” Ron replied, peeling off the vampire dress.
“Hmm…I guess you’re right.” Betty took the dress off and changed into Cat Woman. “Don’t I look purr-fectly adorable?”
“Like your pun, definitely stupid! The cat suit does not flatter your body like it should!” replied Ron, scrutinizing her own Cleopatra costume.
“Humph! Well doesn’t look like you’ve decided on a costume either!” Betty pouted, putting her purple sweatshirt and denim capris back on.
“*sigh* No I haven’t! This place was supposed to have my perfect costume!” Veronica wailed, putting on her Versace pumps on her size six feet.
“Hey look at that Greek Goddess costume!” Betty gasped, pointing to a long gold dress. Leaf-like cloth decorated the one-sleeve dress. There was a narrow cut in front of the dress, starting from the foot to the thigh.
“OHMIGOSH!! I saw it first!” Veronica raced up to the rack and grabbed the dress. “Yes! And there’s only one like it!”
“Excuse me Ron! I think I saw it first!” Betty exclaimed, hands on her hip.
“Yeah, you may have saw it first but I thought of it first!” Ron ran into the dressing room.
“What?! That doesn’t even make sense!” But Ron didn’t care. She strutted out of the dressing room and pointed her metallic gold gladiator sandals that laced up all the way to her knee.
“Don’t I look faaaabulous?!!”
“*sigh* Okay you do! But what do I wear?” Betty complained tugging on the strap of her oversize hobo bag. Veronica scanned the big store and tapped her forefinger to her mocha-glossed lips. After a few minutes, she ran over to a Japanese kimono.
“This!”
“This?”
“Yup! This is so exotic! It will look oh-so-cute on you!” Veronica pushed the costume into Betty’s arms and pushed her into a dressing room. After a couple of minutes, Japanese-Betty came out. She looked exotic in the multi-colored dress, with the satin sash tied to its back.
“You look gorgeous, but with a few more accessories, you’ll look stunning!” Ron raced around the store for the ideal accessories. She came up with a beautiful fan, two metallic chopsticks, and a bright blue comb with two sparkly flowers on it.
“Wow Ron! But I don’t think I can afford all this!” Betty exclaimed, gripping onto the comb.
“No problem Bets! What are friends for?” Veronica smiled, then pointed to a rack full of tacky fairy and princess costumes, “Hey look at that!”
“What about it?”
“Aren’t they horrendously ugly?! Do they think people will actually buy those cheap things?” Ron said, gawking at one of the princess-style dresses, with the neon green, puffy sleeves.
“Yup!” Betty laughed, referring to a teenage girl that picked up one of the tacky costumes. Veronica cracked up.

*AND AFTER THE GIRLS PAY…*
“You wanna’ get a latte?” Ron asked, as the girls strode out of the store, with a shopping bag in each hand.
“Sounds great! I still can’t believe we got these gorgeous costumes from the same place they sold those gruesome fairytale costumes!” Betty started laughing all over again.
“Yeah I know!” Ron laughed, ordering her Mocha Latte, when they reached Starbucks. Once the girls settled into a booth with their lattes, Veronica said, “You know what? I think I should invite Cheryl Blossom.”
Betty choked on the hot coffee that was in her lungs and spit it out. “Ew!” Ron commented, taking a delicate sip from her green straw.
“Well can you blame me? You just said you wanted to invite Cheryl Blossom!”
“I know! And that’s because I just thought maybe, just maybe, she’d dress up as a stupid little fairy and embarrass herself at my party,” Veronica said to a confused Betty.
“O…kaaay…” Betty took a long sip from her white chocolate latte. Ron rolled her eyes and took out her Swarovski crystal-studded phone out of her mustard colored Marc by Marc Jacobs tote and dialed Cheryl’s number. After a few rings, Cheryl picked up.
“Hello?” Cheryl spoke.
“Hi Cheryl, it’s me, Ronnie. I was calling to invite you to my BIG Halloween bash on the thirty-first,” Ron answered, examining her freshly manicured hands.
“Oh are you Ronnie dear? Well, let me see, I’ll have to ask my social planner to see if my schedule is free on the thirty-first…”
“Cheryl has a social planner! That‘s a laugh!” Ron told Betty, putting her hand over the mouthpiece.
“Well, I’m sure you’ll be happy to hear Ronnie darling, that I’m free,” Cheryl’s voice rang out of the phone.
“Oh no Cheryl dear, I think you are.” Ron smirked.
“What-ev-er! Anyways, I’ll try not to look too good, sweets, even though that’ll be like impossible!”
“Yeah right, just good enough to be a fairy princess! Toodles!” Ron closed her phone and looked at Betty angrily. “Something tells me she won’t dress as a fairy princess.”
“Ya think!”

*DAY OF RON’S HALLOWEEN BASH*
“We look faaab!” Ron glanced at her reflection in her full-length mirror, in her huge room.
“Yeah, we do, don’t we?” Betty giggled, placing the elegant comb in perfect place, in her hair.
“C’mon we better get down to greet our guests!” Ron exclaimed, skipping all the way out.
***
The party was in full swing after just thirty minutes!
“Wow! Ron, this is big!” Frankenstein (A.K.A. Archie) said, scanning the hundreds of people that had filled in the Lodge’s huge Ballroom.
“Have you ever known me not to throw a big party?” Ron asked him, in a-matter-of-fact tone.
“Hey Ron! Did you notice the many fairy-princesses at your party?” Betty made her way in the crowd towards Ron, biting a piece off the sprinkled pumpkin cookie she was eating.
Ron giggled. “Oh believe me! I did! I bet they got those costumes at ‘We‘ll Pay You To Wear Our Costumes’ !”
“Or ‘Tacky ’R Us’ !” Betty laughed.
“And the best part is Cheryl called me to tell me about her costume. She said she was going to be a fairy! A stupid little fairy!” Veronica and Betty cracked up. “I guess dreams do come true!”
“Hi Ron. I hope I’m not too late!” Cheryl stood in the entrance way, every eye on her short, adorable Tinkerbell costume and glossy wings.
“CHERYL?!” Veronica gawked.
“So where is Tacky ‘R Us anyways?” Betty asked her humiliated self.

*THE END!*

BETTY:yup

shamin:

hey ..i just luv readin ur stories...man i cant wait to c it in print;)

Ghost:

It was a dull and dreary morning in Riverdale. Betty Cooper awakened to the pestering sounds of raindrops on her window. She yawned and stretched and finally realized that it was October 31st! Halloween was here which meant the annual Halloween Bloodcurdling Ball at Ronnie’s mansion. Betty raced to her closet to choose her clothes…and to peek at her gorgeous costume. It was a black, shiny dress with fishnets and platform boots with two-inch heels. She was going to be a vampire slayer along with Archie who was going to be the actual vampire. She noticed that her dress wasn’t there. She flipped through her clothes again…and again.
“Where is that dress?!” she cried with growing consternation. No matter how hard she looked, it wouldn’t appear. Betty was running late so she freshened up, dressed, ate and headed off to school. As she was walking she thought to herself, “Oh well, Mom is probably just washing it. I’ll ask her about when I get home.”
Her thoughts were interrupted when she got to Riverdale High. Betty anxiously surveyed the area for Archie. Finally, she spotted him. She rushed over to meet him but stopped dead in her tracks to the sight of a breathtakingly beautiful girl holding Archie’s hands. Betty had never seen her before. “Hey, Archie. Who’s this?” she asked, hiding her rage.
“This is Kata, short for Katalina Garcia. She’s new here and I offered to show her around. She’s also been invited to the Halloween Bloodcurdling Ball,” he explained. “Kata, this is Betty Cooper, a very good friend of Veronica Lodge, the one who invited you to the ball.”
Kata simply smiled and turned to Archie. “Can we start our little tour now?” Archie nodded and they both strutted off leaving Betty furious and envious. But Betty lightened up once she remembered that Archie was taking HER not Kata to the ball. She strolled to her locker to gather her books and bumped into Ronnie. “Hi, Ronnie, what’s up?” Betty asked.
“Nothing much, Betty. Have you seen Katalina Garcia, the new girl yet?” Veronica questioned. Betty nodded. “I actually heard a freshman say that Katalina is prettier than me. Well, see you later.” And with that, Ron went to her locker. Betty sighed and slammed her locker door shut. She saw Archie coming towards her with Kata. Kata was flipping her coal-black hair and her golden eyes were glued on Archie.
“Bets, can I talk to you?” he asked solemnly. “Since Kata is new she’s too shy to ask Jughead to the ball, hates Reggie, and knows that Chuck and Moose are taken so she asked me to the Bloodcurdling Ball. I know that we have a date and all, but please Kata needs this.”
Betty was furious and outraged but knew that either way, Archie would end up with Kata, so she consented. “OK, go with Kata. But if you think that I’ll ever bake you cookies, fix your car, do your homework or allow you to stand me up on dates anymore, you’re terribly wrong…as usual!” and left to Ms.Grundy’s class. She fought the tears back and the urge to not even go to the Bloodcurdling Ball.
“Class, we are going to focus on fictional creatures such as dragons, fairies, mermaids, leprechauns and vampires. In spirit of Halloween, first we are going to study vampires. I expect a complete profile on vampires next week,” Ms.Grundy announced despite the class’s groans.
Once Betty got home, she threw herself on her bed, staining it with her tears that were pouring out. After her eyes were dried out, she decided to start on her report by going to the library to check out the new collection of vampire books. As she went down the stairs, her mom greeted her. “Hey mom, did you wash my vampire slayer costume? It’s not in my closet,” Betty questioned.
“No, dearest, I haven’t touched it since you brought it home.” Betty sighed and announced that she wasn’t going to Ronnie’s party at all. “Sweetie, don’t do that. I have an idea. Why don’t you wear this?” her mother brought out a gorgeous aqua and pearly white gown complete with gloves, a tiara and glass slippers. “I wore this to my prom. I was named queen.” her mother dreamily sighed.
“Thanks mom! Well, then I’m off to the library,” Betty declared. She hurried down and ran all the way to the library. There, she went into the fiction section and rapidly spotted a vampire book named, “How to Identify a Vampire: Distinct Personalities of Vampires”. Out of curiosity, she opened to one of the pages and began reading. To her surprise it said, “A vampire is the person you would least expect. They are always breathtakingly beautiful with black hair and gentle golden eyes. But, their eyes turn red when they are about to feed. Usually, vampires like to feed on the opposite gender.” Betty got up and checked out the book. All the while she was wondering, “That really describes Katalina. I wonder if she might be…no that’s crazy…or is it?”
At 9:00, she began pampering herself for the ball. She put her hair in a bun and gracefully placed the diamond tiara atop. She looked like Cinderella herself. Her father proudly snapped photos of her and to Betty’s surprise, Veronica’s limo picked her up. “What’s all this?” she demanded.
“I’m picking up all the girls up and Reggie’s picking up all the boys. Kata’s here, Nancy’s here, Midge is here and now you are! By the way, how do you like my Ms.America costume?” asked Veronica.
Betty wasn’t paying any attention. She was staring in horror at Kata. Kata was wearing the vampire slayer costume!! “How can this be? Mr. Pansky is the only costume shop owner in Riverdale and I had bought the last vampire slayer costume!!!!!” Betty thought. “Maybe, she stole it from me. No, that’s crazy. Betty, she isn’t a vampire! Vampires don’t exist!!!”
Throughout the whole car ride, nobody uttered a word except for Nancy and Midge who complimented Betty’s prom queen costume. Betty was bewildered and mad and also very curious. She was determined to find out the mysterious events. At last, the limo arrived at the Lodge Mansion and pulled up. The girls got out and entered the threshold. Betty noticed that Kata’s eyes were a deep and fiery red. Betty finally realized that Kata really WAS a vampire! “Ohmigosh, she’s going to feed on Archie. That’s why she wanted to go the party with him!” she thought. “I have to warn him before he becomes vampire sushi.”
Betty raced to Archie who was at the snack table with Jughead. She was panting and told him, “Archie *pant* Kata is a *pant* vampire!!!! Get *pant* away from her!!!” The grandfather clock in the foyer struck midnight and suddenly, the light went out and there was a horrific scream that came from Archie. In a few minutes, the lights were back on, but Archie was gone! Veronica came running to Betty, demanding an explanation about what happened. Betty explained her theories about Kata and noticed that she wasn’t even there!!! “Ronnie, gather up the girls and check everywhere in your mansion for them. Kata is going to turn Archie into a vampire!!”
“Nobody turns my Archiekins into a vampire except me! Midge, Nancy and Ethel, search the west wing! Me and Betty will search the east wing,” yelled Veronica. “CHARGE!!!!!!!”
The search lasted for hours but, Archie was nowhere to found. “What will we do? She probably took him to her cave or something.” groaned Ronnie.
“Ron, there’s only one place we haven’t looked in yet and it’s your basement. What better place would a vampire eat dinner in than a basement full of spiders and cobwebs?” Betty stated. As they ventured down to the basement, the duo shook with fear. The mansion was dead silent. A full moon was out and it was midnight.
The door creaked as Betty opened. As soon as it was only halfway open, millions of screeching bats came flying out. The pair shrieked and ducked until all of them were out. The basement was now empty except for a shadow in front of the girls. They knew that someone was behind them. They slowly turned around to find Kata there. Veronica screamed but Betty was silent. “Where’s Archie?” she demanded.
“Oh, he’s just sleeping,” Kata smiled evilly and deviously. “I suppose you know that I’m a vampire.” She smiled again but this time, exposing her razor sharp teeth. Her nails were now growing and her eyes were golden again.
“Ronnie, her eyes are golden and that must mean that she finished feeding!” Betty whispered worriedly. “Give Archie back, Kata!!”
“Now what makes you think that I’ll do that? I’ve been starving for years. I’m not about to just give up my dinner.” she took a step closer and ripped off a piece of Betty’s dress. Underneath her dress, she had on a black skirt and a tank top. Betty now ripped of her whole dress and threw it on Kata. Betty took Veronica’s hand and they ran up the stairs, locking the door. Kata followed but bumped into a wall and was unconscious. On a hunch, Veronica led Betty up to the attic. There was Archie blindfolded and bound with tight ropes. Veronica and Betty commenced to unbound him and he started to scream. “Get away from me, Kata! I know you’re there!”
“Archie, it’s us! Betty and Veronica! We are getting you out of here. Kata is a vampire, but now she’s in the basement, locked for eternity.” Betty declared. Now Archie was free and they all went down to the foyer where everyone else was.
Veronica explained that it was just a joke to her guests. The trio made a promise to never reveal what had REALLY happened. When Betty home, her mother asked what had happened to the dress. Betty smiled and said, “Oh it was little mishap. I’ll pay for another one.”
A few Months Later
