Story Starter #21

 

 

Greetings, BBs! Technically, this Story Starter was SUPPOSED to come up on October 31 – but it was kinda busy that day and we didn’t want you to get overloaded, so we waited until TODAY to post it.

In keeping with our fun holiday theme this quarter, we thought it would be fun to write about Thanksgiving – Riverdale style! Ready? Here goes…

 

Turkey

 

Thanksgiving Fiasco

Written by (YOU)

Starring: Archie, Betty, Veronica, Jughead, Reggie… and the gang from Riverdale High

 

Miss Grundy’s class was given the chore honor of presenting the Thanksgiving Play to all the children in Riverdale Elementary school. (It’s an annual tradition. Last year, Coach Kleats’ 3rd hour PE class had the honors.)

 

Miss Grundy wrote the script, cast the parts AND directed the play. Betty was in charge of set decorations. Veronica, of course, rounded up costumes. Props were handled by Reggie. Archie was given the job of getting live turkeys for a historic display in the lobby. And since food is a big part of Thanksgiving, Jughead was in charge of that.

 

The day of the big play arrived… but it didn’t exactly go as planned. What happened!?!

 

 

Ready… Set…

 

Story Away!

Mrs. Grundy- okay you guys we have less than an hour so lets get this party started.


jughead was still in his kitchen tightening the lids on his mothers special homade gravy, he was so happy he made about ten bowls full to the top.jughead turned to his clock and realized he had probably missed the morning meeting speeding up

Jughead- aw man im late i got to get going

Jughead- mom can you help me get the food in the car!

back in the school lobby bveronica and archie were unloading the turkeys from the farmers truck.

veronica- hey archie why did you bring baby turkeys?

Archie- there lighter and cuter

veronica- (shrugging her shoulders betty agreed) thats true!

Archie- so veronica are you going to the school dance tonight?

Veronica- no i dont think so i dont have a date

Archie- agreed he didnt have a date either, sooo do you want to go with me

veronica- sure i would love that

excited and jumping inside she had to take a breath so she sat on the bench and noticed jughead pulling up practically racing himself

Jughead- a veronica can you help me its kind of an emergency to much food to little time

Veronica- yeah sure she grabbed a box and headed to the cafeteria

Archie- was just about finished unloading the turkeys when he saw veronica slip and almost ruin the food jughead had prepared luckily he box it and taped it so it would arrive to the table safely

Archie ran over to veronica and made sure she was okay only twenty minutes left till the parents arrived

the children began entering the building loud and disruptive one by one into the auditorium

mrs.grundy was trying to quiet them down and betty ran over to fit their costumes.

when archie saw that he left a gate open two turkeys had ran out

Archie- oh no i lost two turkeys

veronica- archie it will be fine ill run over to the dressing room and warn betty and mrs.grundy

they both headed out began their search

Jughead was still unloading the food and preparing the table

veronica- hey umm mrs.grundy two turkeys ran out so i need you to be on the lookout

there were only ten minutes until the play started, and no baby turkeys were to be found

back in the kithcen in the storage closet were the turkeys had managed to get in and accidently knock over a box of the janitors extra wigs , archie had opened the closet out of curiousity and didnt even notice he let the baby turkeys go

parents had already began seating themselves in the auditorium and the play would begin in less than 3 minutes

mrs.grundy had gone around and did a final analyzation of the students everythig checked out fine and as long as the turkeys didnt interupt the play what could they do!?!

Jughead stood in the kitchen the whole time it was almost time for the parents and staff to eat the food was hott the gravy was almost better than ever but...........

betty-hey do you want me to pass the bravy around jughead?

jughead- no i want to do it i love to see the smiles on their faces when people taste the jughead family tradition

jughead went around serving everyone as in alot of people without a bother

veronica- aaaaaawhhhhttlllfa........ theres a rat !!!!!!!!!!two rats!!!!!!!!!! help

the whole cafeteria went into histerics while archie on the other hand ran across the hall entered the screaming room and heroically gathered the two turkeys into his arms. jughead on the other hand wore his gravy well

Mrs.Grundy, calmed everyone down and thats when the real party started the room was filled with laughter nevermind relief and the day went on gravy and all.......... hahahaha

demi z:

It was the day of the play. Everyone was ready... except Archie! He was supposed to bring the turkeys! But they had escaped...

Grundy: Archie, are you ready?

Archie: Ah... yeah... sure,
Mrs.Grundy...

Grundy: ok then... let the show begin!

(Later)the play has begun, and it is time for the turkeys to be exhibited in the lobby. But where are they?...

Betty: Archie, it's time for the turkeys!

Archie: Yeah... about that, Bets... well, see...

Audience member: Ahh! There's a turkey underneath my chair! help!

Grundy: Archie! You...!

Archie grabs the turkey and sees all the other ones in the audience.

Archie: Don't panic everybody!

But everybody panicked. They all ran outside and left. Meanwhile, Archie and the gang scoop up the turkeys.

Veronica: Well, that's all of them, Archie kins!

Grundy: Archie! Out!

Archie and the gang get in the car, but as they drive off, a turkey escapes and jumps on Archie's head!

Jug head: look, Archie! There's a turkey on your head!


Turkey: Gobble, gobble!

Jon Michael J:

It was the day of the Thanksgiving play and it was crazy! Everybody did everything wrong! Jughead ate all of the food, Reggie forgot to do the props, Betty did Christmas decorations instead of Thanksgiving decorations, Archie made fake turkeys and Veronica made the costumes but they fell apart!

The Thanksgiving play wasn't going like Miss Grundy planned. Someone had to help to get the Thanksgiving play back on track. Miss Grundy told Betty to help Reggie and then Reggie was going to help Betty and Betty helped Jughead. Archie and Veronica helped each other.

Betty helped Reggie make and paint the props. Reggie helped Betty make the Thanksgiving decorations and take down the Christmas decorations. Betty helped Jughead cook more food that he was NOT going to eat! Last but not least, Archie helped Veronica redo the costumes and she helped him find live turkeys.

After everyone pitched in to fix the mistakes, the Thanksgiving play was wonderful! Miss Grundy was so proud! She said that next year everyone would work as teams again since it worked so well. Miss Grundy said
"I couldn't have done it without all of you, thanks for a great Thanskgiving Play!!"
The End

R:

A brisk, November afternoon finds Archie and the gang in Ms. Grundy's classroom.

Ms. Grundy: Alright, class, it looks like we have everything prepared for the Thanksgiving play on Wednesday at Riverdale Elementary.(Archie, Veronica, Betty, Jughead, Reggie, Midge, Dilton, Nancy, Chuck are all there, sewing and preparing.

Grundy: Of course, this play will need to overshadow any play from Riverdale before. Last year, coach Kleats' class made history for the most ill- prepared, out of control show ever, and I don't intend to repeat that! I have always given the best Thanksgiving play from this school, and I expect to keep it that way!! Everything must work like clockwork!
So, I expect this to be well rehearsed according to my script, and must knock their socks off! Betty, how are we with our set decorations?
Betty: THis is going to be the best one yet! I have authentic corn husks and Indian teepees!
Grundy: And Veronica, what about our costumes?
Veronica: Ms. Grundy PLEASE, I'm insulted that you have to ASK!! These will be the best dressed, Armani- clad pilgrims and Indians in the history of AMERICA!
Grundy: And Reggie, do you know your duties as stage manager and prop director?
Reggie: You can all chillax with the Regster in charge.
(They all roll their eyes)
Grundy: And Jughead, I assume taking care of the food is no problem for you?
Jughead: Hah, I could do this in my sleep! On that note,- (he leans back and starts snoring.)
And finally, Archie, I hope everything is under control in getting the live turkeys for the front lobby display?? (To herself: Help me now!- whose idea was it to have Archie handle wild animals??!)
ARchie: Ms. Grundy, you can count on me!!
Reggie: Hah! He should just put himself on display in the lobby- wouldn't make a difference!!
ARchie: You take that back, you rat- (he knocks over the globe from Ms. Grundy's desk, and it rolls out the window.)
ARchie smiles sheepishly back at Grundy.


Ms. Grundy: Er, Archie, perhaps you should have someone else help you, or even take over your job...
Archie: No no!! You can relax, 'cause it's all taken care of!!
Grundy: Well, alright then, I expect to see you all on Wednesday, ready and prepared. This will be the smoothest running show these kids have ever seen!!
(Everyone heads out)
Grundy: My goodness, I really do hope Archie's antics won't ruin my tradition of precision and efficiency!! But I can't help but expect the worst from that boy...
The day of the play, everyone is preparing on the stage.
Betty: I've tried livening the show up with scenery, but Ms. Grundy has really limited us with all these guidelines and restrictions! I can't have a bale of hay be more than 2 feet high, because she thinks it might be a fire hazard!
Veronica: Same here! Everything has to be safety clasped and stapled, so there won't be a wardrobe mishap!Everyone looks like their wearing GARBage bags!

Jughead: Not to mention she ordered me not to bring any "messy" food- which means I can't have anything spill. That sure cuts down the list of possibilities. I guess she's jsut so paranoid something's going to go wrong, she's micro- managed us into boredom!!
Reggie: Yeah, even the script is blander than water- she has it extreme censored so as not to cause any kind of excitement.

Later on, the play has begun, and we see ARchie sitting in the lobby overseeing a bunch of turkeys:
Archie: Well, I think I proved everyone wrong!! I was able to keep these turkeys under control even while all the noisy kids were piling into the auditorium!

Next frame: Ms. Grundy is watching the play, where Moose is playing Squanto, talking to pilgrims.
Grundy: Well!! I seem to have underestimated Archie! Everything is going according to my plan!!

Next frame: Betty, VEronica, Reggie, from offstage, looking at all the kids falling asleep watching a practically barren stage with ridiculous trash bag outfitted actors.
Betty: These kids are dying of boredom!! Look at them!!
Veronica: There is absolutely nothing to grab their attention: boring script, boring scenery!
reggie: these kids are in need of a Thanksgiving miracle.
Next frame: As soon as Reggie says this, the auditorium doors blast open, and they hear Archie yell: RUN!! ITS A TURKEY STAMPEDE!!!!
Suddenly, a dozen turkeys flood through the doors and begin gobbling around the auditorium, causing a ruckus, knocking over all the food, kids running around screaming everywhere, ARchie running around chasing the turkeys, and Ms. Grundy standing in the midst of it all with a stunned expression. Suddenly, all the kids start laughing.... at Archie chasing around all the turkeys.
Grundy: Whats this...?
They're actually... laughing?
ARchie, chasing the turkeys: Uuuh, just a minute folks - get back here!! - heh heh, anyways, (pant pant) return to your seats (pant pant) nothing to see here...
All the kids erupt into laughter.
Reggie: Look at him! He KILLS! whod'of thunk that old ARchie would have saved the show by being himself- a total lunkhead!!!
Betty and Veronica are laughing: Betty: Oh hush up Reggie, they finally have smiles on their faces!!
Veronica: Haha, this is exACtly what Ms. Grundy's show needed!!
Coming out of the auditorium, kids are running out shouting "THAT was the best Thanksgiving show EVER!!" and laughing.
Ms. Grundy comes up to Archie, amidst the crowd.
Grundy: Archie dear, it seems I owe you an apology. I doubted you, when I really should have been questioning myself. That show was a flop until you came in!
Archie, still rattled from chasing the wild turkeys- Oh, gee, thanks Ms. Grundy,it was nothing really, I tripped over the door to their pen, and the next thing I know they're everywhere!!

Ms. Grundy! HAha!! I haven't laughed that hard in quite some time, archie!! And the children have requested us for next year!!
All of Archie's friends and a group of kids come over to hug him.
Grundy: I guess it's the time of year to be grateful for absolutely EVERYone in your life, no matter how big or small, old or young, CLUMSY or COORDINATED!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Well, one day Miss Grundy gave the class the honor (yeah, right!) of planning the annual Thanksgiving Play. The class groaned. "Now class you know it will be fun." "No it won't!" everyone thought at the same time."Class, meet me at the gym so I can give out jobs after school!" Miss Grundy told the class. RRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG! Archie sighed. When they got out of the class, Archie said,"Well, this will be fun!"(sarcastically)" Well, you'll just LOVE the next class,Arch. Math!" Reggie laughed.Archie sighed a big Sigh.
****************************
So, the class met Miss g at the gym after school." I hate the gym. It's....it's all sweaty and nasty and has horrible paint! UUGH!" Veronica said." It's not that bad, Ronnie. Sheesh!" Betty said. They got in the gym. Miss g said," Now I will give out the jobs! Archie! Stop whispering to Jughead! Ok Veronica since you have a great sense of style you can be the costume designer. Reggie! You will be props master! Jughead you are in charge of food! Archie Andrews you are in charge of getting live turkeys! Betty... you will be in charge of set decorations." " Oh, and Veronica... remember that girl pilgrim's dresses will be down to the knees! Are you listening, Miss Veronica?!!!!!" " Oh! Yes!" " Get to it!" shouted Miss Grundy.
****************************
A week before the play and Betty came down with a cold. "AAACHOO!"
"Bless you." " Tanks,Ronnie. AAACHOO!" "EWWWW! You sneezed on me!" " Sorry, Ron..Ron...RonACHOO!"" You need to get home." " But... But I have to get the supplies for the play!" "March your sneezing face to home! Get rest there! I mean it! I'll call somebody to take your place." "Okay,RonACHOOOO!" So Betty marched right home. " Well I'll call the gang since I'm in a helping kind of mood. " " Archie! You can't! I'll just call Reggie!" Click! Veronica hung up." Reggiekins! Will you help me with a problem now?" Let me think..." " Answer now Reggie Mantle!" " Ok, darling. I will do it for Your sake!" " Thank you, Reggiekins!" Click. Little did Veronica know that Reggie had a plan up his clever sleeve.
****************************
" 6 more days till zat play! Hope Ronnie got zumbody to replaze may," Betty told herself the next morning. She couldn't go to school until she felt better. " I'll call her thiz aftanoon!" So it came do be what Betty called it "thiz aftanoon". " Ron! Oh my gosh! Did you get somebody?" Yeah!" " Who was it?" " Betty I gotta go! " But...but...but." " Toodles!" Click. " Whew!" Ronnie sighed with relief.
*****************************
Now let's go to the boys side. Archie was arranging at Finnbuckles Farm to pick up the turkeys. Reggie was getting poster board and supplies for the play. Jughead.... oh dear Jughead was taking a nap on the couch.
****************************
It was 3 days before the play. Ronnie was going to make pilgrim and Indian costumes. Miss Grundy said to. So Ronnie decided to tell an advanced sewing seamstress to sew the costumes. " Let's see.... Miss Grundy didn't say anything about the length.... Okay. I'll tell the seam whatever to make it 4 inches above the knees. That's usually the way I wear me dresses," Ronnie said to herself.
****************************
So it was the day of the play. Everyone was rushing all about. Reggie had been there setting up the night before. " Jughead! Go pick up the food before it gets to late," Miss Grundy told him. " It's 4:00!", shouted Archie. "I know, Archie," Miss Grundy said with a scowl on her face. So Jughead went up to the turkey feast shop. He picked the cooked turkeys and other food up while Archie was getting 10 live turkeys for the 5:30 play. When Jughead got in the car it smelled soooooooooooooooooo good. " Maybe a little piece. Yum! I'll have another piece. Maybe I'll try the peach cobbler....ooooh that's good! Now the mashed potatoes! Don't forget the gravy!!! Yummm!!!!" UUOH Jugheads got himself into a jumbo!
*****************************
It was time for the play and the curtains opened. It showed pilgrims dancing and singing songs. But the bottom of the stage had Reggie's face on it and the tree had his face on it and he even painted his signature on the table! The girl pilgrims and Indians came out and the elementary boy's eyes had hearts in them and were bulging out. One of the boy's teachers slapped him. While Betty was at home she worried. " I bet the play is going well dear," Betty's Mom comforted her. " Yeah I guess your right." But everything was not going right at all! The turkeys that Archie had escaped had ran onto the stage and knocked people over.
It was certainly a play to remember!

Thanksgiving Fiasco!
By: Meredith F.


Ms. Grundy was ready to do her annual Thanksgiving play. Ms. Grundy wrote the play, Betty set up all the decorations, Veronica (of course) did the costumes, Jughead was in charge of the food, Reggie took care of the props, and Archie took care of live turkeys for set on the play.
___________________________

"Now Ms. Grundy, are you sure I’ll be able to handle turkeys?" asked Archie. "I'm sure you'll be fine Archie." said Ms. Grundy. Veronica walked over with pink clothes in her hands. "So, Archiekins how do you like my costume?" said Veronica. "Why the costumes are PINK!” said Archie.
"No, no Archiekins this is MY costume.” said Ron. "Here is yours." said Veronica picking up black costumes. "Why aren't ours Pink?” said Archie. "Why do you want pink?" said Ron. "Never mind, so what am I?" asked Archie.” You’re a pilgrim!" answered Veronica.” Good enough." said Archie. Betty came running over to Ms.Grundy. "Ms. Grundy, I can't find any cool Thanksgiving decorations for the play!" wailed Betty. "I’ll order you some, Betty!" said Reggie walking over. "Aw, thank you Reggie." said Betty
"I wouldn’t trust him!" said Archie. "I’ll be fine!" said Reggie. “I hope this isn't one of your practical jokes Reggie!" said Betty. Reggie walked away smiling. The next day when everyone walked in they gasped. Reggie DID order decorations, but they were NOT Thanksgiving!
"Eeeeeeek!, Reggie Mantle these are CHRISTMAS decorations!" cried Betty. The room was filled with snowflakes and cotton. The stage was the background of a house filled with presents and a Christmas tree. "What is going on!?" said Ms.Grundy stepping in.
"Seems here like the joker gave us the Christmas spirit!" said Veronica.
"It took me 22 hours to get it up!” whined Reggie.
"I do not care Reggie! Get it down!" yelled Ms.Grundy
"Fine, fine I’ll take it down, you just rehearse!" grumbled Reggie. The gang started to act their first part of the play. Veronica came out with her pink costume."Do you like it?" asked Veronica. "Where is our costumes?" asked Betty. "Here is you'res." said Veronica. She pulled out a black dull outfit. "Veronica, this is a graduation outfit!" said Betty. "Oh well, i think it improves you!" said Veronica. She got the guys out there uniforms too. "Where is Archie and Jughead?"asked Betty. "They are getting there things." said Reggie picking up cotton. "Well, we can't just rehearse without them, they're a big part of it!" said Betty. "We'll wait." said Ms. Grundy.

Thanksgiving Fiasco


In the Classroom

Miss Grundy leaned on her desk, waiting for Reggie to finish showing off his new glue-on tattoo. Even Betty was crowded around Reggie. Archie sat miserably in his seat. Finally, Miss Grundy cleared her throat.
“A-hem, class, er, sit down, please I have some news” she said. The class slowly sat down.
“What news?” veronica asked. “Are we having a fashion show, I just KNOW I’ll win for sure!!”
“Miss Lodge, sush. It’s the annual Thanksgiving Play coming up, and-” Miss Grundy began.
“Oh, goody!” the class was excited.
“And, we have the honours. I will write the script, Betty, decorations, Veronica costumes, Reggie-props, and Archie, get five live turkeys, and Jughead, food. Now, Veronica, I need the costume designs by tomorrow” Miss Grundy said.
“Yes miss” Veronica said. “What’s the play about?”
“Oh, a simple town girl, who discovers friendship. Betty, will play her” Miss Grundy said.
Veronica stopped designing the costumes. “Betty?!?!?”
BRRRIIIINNNNGGG!!!!!!!

The Lunch Room:

Veronica swished her spoon around and around in her raspberry yogurt tin. Her salad was untouched, and so was her yellow chicken bowl. Her milk had the pink straw in, but, no sips had been taken. Betty was busy taking to Mr Weatherbee about the props, then, she turned to Veronica.
“Ron, what will my costume be like?’ she asked.
Veronica picked up her lunch tray, but accidentally left her pink notebook. Her Diary.
“Oooh, it says: ‘How I wish I was in the play, but, I know Betty is a better person than me. I know, she is more special. To everyone. Daddy said I was, too.’ Oh dear” Betty sniffed.

The big Day

At school that Thursday, everyone was happy. Everything was in order. Then, the pay. Betty began her lines.
“Oh, sweet James, lead me to the well” she said, Archie was playing James.
“oh no, you will go yourself” Archie had changed the lines!! “if you can’t understand TRUE friendship..forget it. Veronica sat up, she and Betty ran into a Hug.
THE
End

Thanksgiving Fiasco
By: Emily

The show was about to start. Betty’s decorations were superb, but they weren’t entirely stable. Veronica had the perfect costumes, but the question was “Veronica, who made these costumes?” Betty asked. “I did. See? I’ve improved.” Veronica answered. As Veronica walked away, Betty realized that these costumes could easily fall off or fall apart. “She’s improved, but she’s still a careless knitter.” Betty mumbled to herself. (Sigh) “Oh, well, I hope the cast will think that these are the school’s costumes, and nothing will happen.”
Meanwhile, Archie had just calmed the turkeys down, and stopped Jughead from eating all the food. “Whew! I’ve been working all day! I guess I should take a break from -”Archie began, but just then Veronica interrupted. “Archiekins! There you are! I need help deciding which costumes I should keep for myself. Could you help me?” “Anything for you, Ron” Archie answered. As soon as Archie was out of sight, the turkeys climbed out of the pen imprisoning them. The turkeys hid backstage, and no one noticed them.
Now since Reggie was in charge of stage props, naturally he brought a mirror along. He had brought it along so people would think of it as a prop. Unfortunately, he left it in the props basket, so when he comes to look at himself during the play, he’ll have no idea where it is. And we don’t want to know what that’ll lead to.
Jughead decided that he’ll stay backstage, so he wouldn’t eat all that food. While backstage, he noticed something strange. “Hey, Arch, for some reason I keep seeing turkeys everywhere. Do you think I’m going crazy?” Jug asked his pal. But it was Reggie who answered. “Not as crazy as you already are, Ding Bat.” “Shut up, Reg. I thought he was asking me, anyway.” Archie said. “Whatever.” Reggie said as he turned and walked away. “You said you keep seeing turkeys?” Archie asked.
“Yup. And they were alive! Arch, I think I’m going crazy.” Jug said. “You – you mean like, living, breathing, turkeys?” Archie said. “That’s what I said. Why?” Jughead asks. “N –nothing. It – it’s nothing. Archie stammered. “Okay, see you later, Arch.” As Jughead walked away, Archie realized that he was being silly. “No. there’s no way the turkeys got out. The wire keeping them in was tight enough. Jug must be hallucinating.”

. . .

“Students, we go live in 5 minutes. So when the time comes go on out there and do your best!” Ms. Grundy said to the cast. “Gee, I sure hope my turkeys are okay.” Archie wondered out loud. “Better go check on them.” Before Archie could leave Ms. Grundy pulled him back. “Archie, since you are in charge of the turkeys, do you mind making sure that there’re still in the pen? The historic display isn’t until after the show.” “No problem Ms. Grundy. I was just heading there anyway.” Archie answered.
“ Good, because I’ve been getting reports of turkeys running around backstage. We go live in about 3 minutes, and I don’t want turkeys ruining the play.” Miss Grundy told Archie. “Yes ma’am. You can count on me.” Archie told his teacher. “See you later.”
“Betty, I need your help. Jughead and a few other people claim they saw live turkeys running around. If they escaped, could you help me round them up?” Archie asked. “Oh, Archie, I’d love to help you. You go check on the pen. I’ll look for turkeys in case.” Betty answered. “Thanks, Bets, you’re a life saver.” Archie said.
When Archie got to the pen he left the turkeys in, it was empty. “Oh, NO! Ms. Grundy will have my head if the turkeys interrupt the show!” Archie exclaimed. When he got back, the show was starting. Archie went to look for Betty, but instead came face –t to- face with a really mad Reggie. “Okay, Carrot-top, what’d you do with my mirror?” Reggie fumed. “Nothing. Why?” Archie answered. “Because I can’t find my mirror. I brought it here and said it was a prop. I thought people would be smart enough to realize that they didn’t have mirrors back then, and leave it alone. But NO! Someone had to touch my mirror!” Reggie said. “Well, it wasn’t me. I’ve been busy looking for my escaped turkeys. Help me find my turkeys and I’ll help you find your mirror.” Archie said. “Deal” And they were off. Meanwhile Veronica was busy looking at the costumes she made, that she didn’t notice the turkey walk on stage. “Aren’t my costumes wonderful?” She asked anyone who happened to be listening.
“Uh, oh. Looks like Betty’s decorations are sagging. I hope they don’t fall on my wonderful costumes.” On the other side of the stage Betty was wondering the same thing. “Oh, no. Looks like my decorations won’t hold much longer. I hope they make it through.”
Jughead, on the other hand, was busy looking at all the food that was on stage. “What I’d give to be eating all that delicious food.” He told himself. Just then Betty’s decorations fell, which resulted in the turkeys becoming frightened. While the cast tried to wipe themselves off, Veronica’s costumes began to rip. “MY COSTUMES!” She yelled. “What’s happening to my wonderful costumes?!”
“Archie! You’re turkeys are running amok. We’ve got to stop them from ruining the show!” Betty exclaimed. “Too late, Bets. Looks like the turkeys have ideas of their own.” Jughead said.
“ARCHIE! WHERE ARE YOU?!” A voice yelled. “Gulp. Here Ms. Grundy.” Archie said. “I told you to keep the turkeys locked away. What happened?” Ms. Grundy asked. “I-I’m not sure, Ms. Grundy.” Archie stammered. Just then there was a loud noise from the audience. They were clapping! “Wha-What’s this?” Ms. Grundy asked. “You’re disaster proved that the First Thanksgiving wasn’t as easy as people think. I’m sure something weird happened.” Someone from the audience said. There was a murmur of agreement.
“WOW! So our mistakes made this show a success. Wow.” Archie said. “This sure wasn’t your standard play.” Betty said. “Well, I had fun. How ‘bout you, Jug?” Veronica asked. “Jug?” BUURRPP! “Jughead!” They all said.
“what?” Jug answered, and they all had a great time.

The End

Kayla:

Hey everyone!
The story I wrote about Jughead and the turkey? Well, I kinda messed up. Here's how it was supposed to go:
This is my Thanksgiving Story:

It was Thanksgiving, and Archie, Reggie, Betty, Veronica,and Jughead where about to have thier Thanksgiving dinner at Veronica's. But, all of a sudden, Reggie exlaimed "Where's the turkey?" Everyone turned to look at Jughead. "Hey, Ok,I know what you're thinking, but this time, it wasn't me. I'll even go and buy a new turkey just to how you it wasn't me." "But I forgot to buy the turkey!" Archie argued. "I should get it." "But I know a good turkey when I see one." Jughead said. "True enough." Reggie said. "Ok Juggy,"Betty said crossly," But get one that's already cooked, we're all ravinish!" "Will do" Jughead replied, while walking out the door. As his friends waited, Jughead drove to SuperMarket, bought the turkey, and drove back. But on the way back, Jughead looked at the turkey and said, "MMMM," he said," That sure smells good, well, it can't hurt to have a little bit of it." So Jughead had some turkey, "Mabye a little more." He said. So he took some more. "Perhaps just a smidgen." So he kept on eating it and eating it, so by the time he got back it was all gone.
Uh oh. When he got back, everyone was waiting at the end of the driveway. "Where's the turkey Jughead?" Veronica asked. "Ummmm, I sorta ate it" Jughead said nervously. "You nincompoop!" Reggie shouted, "Now what are we gonna eat?" "We could always eat steak!" Jughead said,giggling. "Jughead!!" Everyone screamed. "What?" Jughead said, "I got hungry!"

sierra:

this is a awsome ending to your story starter. it gose like this, Archie and Veronica were caught making out by Betty and she got furious. So she quit the play because she had planed to spend the afternoon with Archie and Jughead to go see a movie. Mrs.Grundy was so mad that she almost canceled the play, but instead hired reggie to decorate. As usual, reggie thought his work was just a joke, even though this was very important for everybody else, he decorated it like it was halloween. Mrs. Grundy has had enough. "Everybody out!" she screams. this year, she canceled the play. But Archie wasn't there. He had already left to buy the turky from a local farmer. He did't know it but he just spent 25 dollars for 12 turkeys when he only needed 2. Mrs. Grundy called Archie and told him to keep the turkey, all 12. So at his house in the back yard, people saw the turkeys and thought the play was at his house. So the people went home and grabed some lawn chairs for the show. The End for now.

Thanksgiving Fiasco
By: Kulsoom Haq

“Okay does everyone know what they’re responsible for?” Miss Grundy asked her English Literature class, as they explored Riverdale Elementary school’s auditorium. Every year Riverdale High school has to present a thanksgiving play for the children of the elementary school. Last year Coach Kleats’ 3rd hour PE class had presented a play about the pilgrims and the Native Americans.
“Yes ma’am!” They all answered in unison.
“Good,” Miss Grundy smiled, “oh and Betty, Veronica, Reggie, Archie, and Jughead, I need to see you please.”
The five of them walked over to Miss Grundy.
“Uh, what is it Miss G?” Archie asked.
“Well as you know, you five have the most important jobs. You, Betty are in charge of set decorations, Veronica, you will round up costumes, props are going to be handled by Reggie, Archie is going to bring live turkeys for a historic display in the lobby, and since food is a big part of Thanksgiving, Jughead is in charge of that. So I am counting on all of you to make this play a success,” Miss Grundy told them with a stern look.
“You got it Miss Grundy!” Betty said, enthusiastically.
“Good! Now remember, I’m counting on you five to put this play together and make it a play that no one in Riverdale will ever forget!” Miss Grundy, finished, taking the rest of the class back to the school bus.
“Don’t worry I will! I will! Since I have the most important job!” Reggie screamed.
“Put a cork in it Reg! Everyone knows I have the most important job! How can the play go on without the costumes?” Ron asked, combing her hair with her fingers.
“Oh my goodness! You guys, all of our jobs are important,” Betty explained.
“Yeah! Bets is right! We all have to pitch in and do our parts for the whole play to come together!” Archie exclaimed, throwing his arms up in there.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah,” Reg and Ron answered.
“C’mon gang! We’re gonna’ make a play, no one in Riverdale will forget!” Archie smiled.
“YEAH!” Everyone screamed.

*NEXT DAY AT BETTY‘S*
“Thanks for helping me out with the food, Bets. I would make it, but I’d probably eat it all before the play,” Jughead said, watching Betty tie a “Kiss the Cook” apron around her waist.
“Think nothing of it, Jug. What are friends for? And besides, you bought the ingredients and will be my taste-tester!” Betty smiled, taking a huge frozen turkey out of its package.
“Yeah. Best part,” Jug said, with a dreamy look on his face, “Uh, do you need any help with the decorations?”
“No thanks, Juggie. That’ll be easy with Ron helping me out.” Betty took out a pie sheet for the big pumpkin pie she was going to make.

*LATER, AT RON’S*
“Okay, I’ve decided to take all these costumes to Pierre, my fashion designer. He’ll whip ’em up in no time at all and they will be so haute couture!” Veronica said, flipping through the pages in her sparkly red notebook.
“Are you sure Miss Grundy will be cool with that? I mean maybe she meant for you to design and make them,” Betty said, laying flat on her stomach, on Ron’s faux fur rug.
“Ohmigod, Betty! I did design them.” Ron waved the red notebook in front of Betty’s face. “Pierre’s just going to make a few adjustments and his people will sew them up.”
“*sigh* Well it makes sense when you say it.”
“Exactly, so how’re your decorations coming?” Ron asked Betty.
“Okay. I could do better, though. I was on my way to Save More on Drama, that new drama decorations store,” Betty replied, twirling blonde strands of hair between her fingers.
“Yeah, well good luck with that,” Ron said distractedly, penciling in last minute reminders in her notebook.
“Yeah, you too.”

*MEANWHILE AT ARCHIE’S HOUSE*
“Okay so where do you reckon I get turkeys from?” Archie stood on his tiled kitchen floor, watching Jug empty his refrigerator.
“Hmm, well I heard about this pet store in Southside that just opened. It carries a whole bunch of strange pets you wouldn’t find in any other ordinary pet store.” Jug took a huge bite out of the hero sandwich he whipped up in sixty seconds flat.
“Hey, yeah! I’m sure they’ll carry turkeys!” Archie grabbed his blue and gold Riverdale jacket and turned to Jug, “You coming?”
“Uh, yeah, just let me finish this sandwich…do you, by any chance, have a slice or two of cherry pie?” Jug responded, mouth full of ham and lettuce. Archie rolled his eyes and opened the refrigerator.
***
“Wow! Jellyfish! Exotic looking reptiles! This place really does have strange pets!” Archie pushed his way through lots of people to get a glimpse of all the strange creatures in the wrought-iron cages and tightly-sealed glass containers.
“And they also have turkeys!” Jug smiled, pointing to a large cage in the middle of the store. There were six large turkeys glaring at all the people outside of their cage.
“Wow! How cool is this?” Archie made a mental note of coming back here for a pet of his own.
“Can I interest you in some turkeys? They were imported straight from Spain!” A short, stubby man with a shining bald head appeared in front of them in a purple checkered suit.
“Oh yeah, definitely! I actually need them for a historic display for school,” Archie answered.
“Ah, yes! Good thing you came here for our grand opening. We’re having a special! With each turkey you buy, you get a pound of turkey food free!” The man said heartily, shaking the turkeys’ cage.
“Wow! Well, let’s see, I need how many turkeys…” Archie folded a piece of yellow paper up, “Ah! Six of them.”
“Good!” The man called over two other men in blue uniforms and told them to take the cage to Archie’s car. Then, he lead Jug and Archie to the front desk with the cash register. “That’ll be $150!”
“SAY WHAT?!” Archie gasped.
“$150, please,” The man repeated, with the same silly grin on his face.
“*sigh* Okay, let’s see how much the school gave me for the turkeys…” Archie took out his tan leather wallet out from the back of his jean pocket, and rustled through it. “Whew, $170! Six turkeys please!!”

*AND AFTER SEVERAL DAYS…*
Jug finished wrapping the massive pumpkin pie in the tin foil, as Betty finished sprinkling the plump turkey with season.
“Wow! That turkey smells delicious!” Jug commented.
“Thanks, Juggie, but you did do most of the work.” Betty wiped her hands on the neon green apron, that was tied around her tiny waist.
“Well it was my job,” Jug replied, shyly. “But how’s the decorating coming along?”
“I’m done! I finished decorating the elementary auditorium yesterday. It was so fun!” Betty grinned.
“Cool. Is the rest of the gang done too? I mean the play’s tomorrow!” Jug exclaimed, reaching over for a taste of the chocolate pudding.
“Yep! Ron has all the costumes done, and they look so good, and Reggie has finished his props, which he finished yesterday, also,” Betty answered, slapping Jug’s hand.
“That’s good, and all Arch has to do is put the turkeys in their cages tomorrow in the elementary school’s lobby.” Jug walked to Betty’s pantry and pulled out a box of cookies. “He’s been taking care of them really well. But I don’t think Mrs. Andrews like them so much!” Betty laughed and put the rest of the food in their containers.

*THE DAY OF THE SCHOOL PLAY*
“Okay Archie, unload the turkey cages from your car, into the lobby. The kids and parents will be here in less than ten minutes for the thanksgiving dinner.” Miss Grundy stood backstage, watching the audience eat up the play. It was a hit! Veronica’s costumes were beautiful, Reggie’s props were witty, Betty’s decorations were breathtaking, and the food Jughead prepared, smelled scrumptious.
“Aye, aye Miss Gundy!” Archie walked out the back door and opened his trunk. He took out the large cages, the turkeys squawking with delight.
“Whoa! These are pretty heavy!” He said, out loud, but nonetheless taking two at a time.
After he had all the cages in the lobby, he glanced at the turkeys. They look so sad, he thought, I should let them out. Just for a little while! So Archie opened the cages and took the large birds out.
At first they just stood there. Adjusting to the lobby. Then at once they started to run and jump around. Three of them attacked the table that was had the thanksgiving dinner on it.
“NO!” Archie screamed, just as the people arrived in the lobby for their food.
“AAAAAAH!!” A woman screamed, as one of the turkeys flew at her.
“ARCHIE ANDREWS!!” Miss Grundy screamed over the chaos of dishes crashing and people screaming. “WHAT HAPPENED?!”
“Uh, I kinda’ let the turkeys out of their cages…” Archie replied, dodging a turkey leg, that flew past him.
“Oh no!” Miss Grundy groaned.
“Thanks a lot, carrot top! This play is a disaster!” Reggie said, coming up to Archie, with Jug, Ron, and Betty behind him.
“We-ell, Miss Grundy did get her wish!” Archie exclaimed.
“Oh really?” Miss Grundy doubted.
“Yeah! You didn’t want anyone in Riverdale to forget this play, right? Well I don’t think they will!” Archie smiled, glancing at the chaotic lobby.
*THE END!*

Megan:

One of my comments are that Poor jughead has a eating problem and is pretty much skinny the other is veronica cares too much about herself and doesn't understand the meaning of friendship another is that Betty is very sweet and I don't understand why she should be jelous of Veronica because she is a spoiled brat lol another is that Archie has to stop thinking about girls there is more to nlife than just girls another is that Ethel has to stop chasing Jughead because thats the reason why he will not give her a chance another is that Moose has to stop gatting jelous over everything especially about someone trying to stael Midge a way from him another is Reggie has to stop caring just about himself because sooner or later that will backfire and have a total consequence another is thatVeronica's father should give archie a chance becaue don't we all make mistakes Hope you learned a lot and hope what I just said will maybe give you an idea about the last comic book yo will make and one more thing I hop you never stop making Archie books but at laest make them a lower price because everyone loves them but can't afford

Kayla:

I suppose it's a little ealy for Chistmas stories, but, here goes!
It was Thanksgiving, and Archie, Reggie, Betty, Veronica,and Jughead where about to have thier Thanksgiving dinnera at Veronica's. But, all of a sudden, Archie exlaimed "Where's the turkey?" Everyone turned to look at Jughead. "Hey, Ok,I know what your thinking, but this time, it wasn't me. I'll even go and buy a new turkey." "Ok Jughead,"Betty said crossly," But get one that's already cooked, we're all ravinish!" "Will do" Jughead replied, while walking out the door. As his friends waited, Jughead drove to SuperMarket, bought the turkey, and drove back. But on the way back, Jughead looked at the turkey and said, "MMMM," he said," That sure smells good, well, it can't hurt to have a little bit of it." So Jughead had some turkey, "Mabye a little more." He said. So he took some more. "Perhaps just a smidgen." So he kept on eating it and eating it, so by the time he got back it was all gone.
Uh oh. When he got back, everyone was waiting at the end of the driveway. "Where's the turkey Jughead?" Veronica asked. "Ummmm, I sorta ate it" Jughead said nervously. "You nincompoop!" Reggie shouted, "Now what are we gonna eat?" "We could always eat steak!" Jughead said,giggling. "Jughead!!" Everyone screamed. "What?" Jughead said, "I got hungry!"

Chim Sher T:

Errrmmm... I do not know what do they mean by URL on the comments section but anyway, here's the story.

STORY

“Yes! The delicious pumpkin pies! Casseroles. Pudding... Where’s the turkey?” Jughead asked, scratching his head. Brrriiinng! Answering his phone, Jughead’s usually calm face turned into a look of utter dismay. Eyeing his expression, Archie asked what was the matter. Despaired, Jughead told him, “The roast turkey with the appetizing gravy is... The chef said that it was not available. The turkey supply was being cut off because of the bird flu overseas. There’ll be no thanksgiving with no turkey!” Face lighting up, Archie smiled and said, “I’ve got the most brilliant idea!” “Thanks a bunch. The last time you had your so-called brilliant idea, Betty had a whole swarm of bees chasing after her,” Jughead muttered sarcastically. Shrugging, Archie explained his plan. “Look. I’m in charge of the live turkeys exhibit. No one will notice if we take a turkey and roast it. Right?” Eyes twinkling, Jughead had never felt happier. Except maybe the time when he won half a month’s supply of chocolate. Way to go to Archie and his fantastic idea!

Plump was the turkey that they had chosen. Silently, they tiptoed down the hall with the turkey in the cage. Thankfully, the turkey’s desperate squawks were muffled by the cloth draped over the cage. “Boys! What are you doing here?” Mr Weatherbee bellowed. “Oh you see...” Archie began a long and boring tale. Winking at Jughead, Jughead got the clue and ran to the kitchen. Taking off the cloth, Jughead found the recipe for a roasted turkey and tried to follow it. Switching on the stove, Jughead tried to read the recipe. Smoke filled the kitchen, making Jughead cough non-stop. Suddenly, Betty appeared at the doorway with Archie. “Uh... Did we miss something?” Archie asked nervously.

When they had finished putting out the smoke, Archie realized that the turkey was gone! Immdiately, the threesome spreaded out to find the turkey. Meanwhile, the turkey ran down the corridor, heading straight for backstage. “Hey! What’s that?” Moose yelled. Groaning, Reggie yelled back. “Moose. Please. What nonsense do you have in stall for us now?” “I’ll bet that it’s an alien. No. Chick. Nay...” Moose began. “Ignore him.” Veronica muttered, applying make-up for Midge. Squawk! Running loose, the turkey headed for the costumes and tore them into pieces. “The costumes! Why you beast!” Veronica shrieked. Sniggering, Reggie watched the turkey, amused. The smirk on his face vanished when the turkey knocked down his props. “Arrgghh! The turkey knocked down my props! Oh my efforts!” Reggie shouted angrily. Midge clung on to Moose, while Moose just stood there, still trying to guess what was the weird brown creature running about and squawking his head off. “Juggie!” Ethel screamed frightened. Following the direction of all the commotion, Archie, Jughead and Betty ran into the backstage. Taking in the mess, torn costumes, fallen and broken props, screams and the crazy turkey, they were about to take action when... The curtain opened and Mr Weatherbee announced, “And for the play... The thanksgiving with a new beginning!”

The audience were speechless. Veronica could not take it anymore and fainted. Stunned, the students all forced a smile and when they thought that things could not get any worse. It got. Jumping off the stage, the turkey landed on one of the members of the Board and when she fainted, her wig came off. “We’re dead,” Archie whispered to Betty.

“And when you boys are done writing letters of apologies, both of you can start washing the dishes for Miss Beazly.” Mr Weatherbee scolded, his forehead creased with wrinkles of anger and displeasure. Sheepishly, Jughead forced a weak smile at Archie and Archie glared back.

Sarah C:

Miss Grundy’s class was given the chore honor of presenting the Thanksgiving Play to all the children in Riverdale Elementary school. (It’s an annual tradition. Last year, Coach Kleats’ 3rd hour PE class had the honors.)

Miss Grundy wrote the script, cast the parts AND directed the play. Betty was in charge of set decorations. Veronica, of course, rounded up costumes. Props were handled by Reggie. Archie was given the job of getting live turkeys for a historic display in the lobby. And since food is a big part of Thanksgiving, Jughead was in charge of that.

The day of the big play arrived… but it didn’t exactly go as planned. What happened!?!

"Isn't this exciting, Veronica?" said Betty eagerly. "Tomorrow's the big day!"
"Yes, I suppose it is, Betty. I just hope that those kids out in the audience notice how gorgeous these costumes are. These fabrics came all the way from France, and were sewn by a famous seamstress. That's why I'm not going to let Archie near them. Remember our third grade play? Archie spilled potato salad all over my Paris original!"
"I sure remember that. You wouldn't talk to him for a week!" said Betty.
"well, it was an original!"
"hey, guys." Jughead had come in.
"Oh, hey, Jughead. We were just talking about the play tomorrow. How's your job going?" asked Betty.
"great. Mom even took Jellybean for a walk so I could have the kitchen all to myself. I made cakes, cookies, pies, turkey, squash, potatoes..." Jughead's mouth was watering. "And that reminds me, I haven't had anything to eat for twenty minutes. I'd better get over to Pop's for a dozen deeelicious burgers!" Jughead ran off in a puff of smoke.
Veronica scowled.
" That slob's always eating. I wouldn't be surprised if he ate up all the food before the people even started to arrive!"
"Don't be too hard on him, Veronica." Said Betty." He can't help it."
"Well..."
"Hey!"
"oh, hello Archie."
"Hi, Archie!" said Betty lovingly.
"I can't wait for tomorrow!" exclaimed Archie "I already ordered the turkeys!"
"I think they're going to look great in the display!" Said Betty. "Yes, Archie, I'm so proud of you for doing one thing right for a change!" exclaimed Veronica as she kissed him on the cheek. Archie beamed, but Betty scowled at Veronica. Veronica didn't seem to notice.
" I sure hope the display's big enough!" said Archie."What do you mean by tha..." Betty was cut off by Archie."Wait, hold that thought, Betty, I just remembered that I have to meet Chuck now. See you" And with that, he ran off.

When Archie got home, he made sure that the turkeys were going to be at the school by the time of the play.
"I want to confirm the order of turkeys sent to Riverdale High tomorrow."
"Sure" said the turkey man at the other end of the line."200 turkeys to Riverdale High at 7pm"
"Great!" said Archie, and he fell asleep happy.

On the day of the play, everyone had a job to do. Jughead was sampling the food at the food table. Betty was checking to see that all of the sets were painted and in order. Veronica was showing off her latest outfit.
"Too bad Reggie's sick" said Veronica.
"Yeah. I'm glad he finished the props on time, though, even though he couldn't be here" Said Betty ruefully."Everyone else is here, though. Hey, have you seen Archie?"
"No, I haven't" said Veronica "but he should be here aany minute."
Just then Archie walked in.
"200 turkeys ready to go!" said Archie proudly.
"200!?!" shouted Veronica
"We only needed 2!!!"
"But the letter from Miss Grundy said 200!"said Archie. He pulled a crumpled peice of paper out of his pocket to show them.
"That isn't two zeros!" shrieked Veronica"that's just a glob of chocolate pudding!"
"Well, I was sitting next to Jughead when I read this letter. He must've gotten pudding on it" said Archie sheepishly.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to tell the rental truck driver to take the turkeys back!" Said Betty
"No can do. There's a no-return policy!"
Just then the three of them noticed what lookes suspiciously like a turkey waddle across the floor. People were starting to arrive now. "oh no. I forgot to lock the truck door." exclaimed Archie. They went around back and saw that the truck was empty. THe play had started, and there was no sign of the turkeys. Suddenly, they heard a loud screech. Inside the auditorium was chaos! Turkeys were everywhere! They were on the
stage, in the audience, and one was even stuck in Jughead's cream pie!
" This is a disaster!"screamed Veronica"And it's all your fault!"
"Now what, Archie?" said Betty.
"I know what to do!"Exclaimed Archie suddenly.
Archie seized the gym safety net and started to heard the turkeys out the stage doors and into the truck, usindg the net to block himself from their sharp beaks. After the last one was put back, Archie locked the back firmly.
A loud cheer erupted. Everyone was glad that the play could finally go on. They performed beautifully, and got a standing ovation. As for the turkeys, Archie was right- he wasn' allowed to bring them back once they were all battered up. No one knows what Archie did with them. Do you?

Clara:

When Veronica arrived in her limo Archie ran outside with the turkeys. He let go of them to hug Veronica but the turkeys went loose and hopped on Veronica, which ruined her costume that she had on.

Gross! '' She shouted. ''How could you get such a gross job Archie?! And look, they ruined my outfit!''

''Had to.''Archie replied.

Veronica went inside along with Archie and the turkeys. When Betty saw Archie, she ran over to him and asked, ''Do you like the decorations I made?''

Before Archie could answer, Veronica stepped forward and said, ''Back off thats my Archie and everyone knows that.''

''Oh yeah well you don't know Archie a bit as much as I do." Betty said. When everybody saw Betty, they kept complimenting her hard work with the decorations.

"Wow Betty you are really talented!" Said Midge.

"Yeah!" Said Moose.

"I agree!" Archie exclaimed.

When Veronica heard what they were saying she got mad and said, "Hey! I'm talented too and rich I bought the costumes! "

''That doesn't make you talented!" Betty said.

"Yes it does!" Said Veronica.

"No it doesn't ! Betty said. And the fight went on and on and on.

THE END

Archiefan!:

The play was all set, the props were up, the cast was lined up behind the curtain and ready to perform. "Oh, Archie isn't it wonderful that Veronica and I got parts in the play even though we also got to do the costumes and the sets." said Betty, who was playing a farmhand with Veronica. "Don't forget me." said a turkey who was being played by Reggie. "At least you get parts!" said a stage hand named Gill who was fixing one of the lights. "If you want to be a turkey, fell free to Gill." said Reggie. "Too late." whispered Archie who was helping Gill with the lights, "Ms. Grundy is announcing the play, anyways Gill you are needed here." "Every year I have to do the lights, has anyone ever thought of me?"
As Gill said this blaring music started to play. "That's our cue!" said Betty. Betty and Veronica stepped out and started singing. Suddenly a scream was heard. "That's Ms. Grundy!" shouted Archie "She must've fallen off the catwalk!" Gill ran forward and saw Ms.Grundy falling. She ran on to the stage and took a pillow and brought behind the stage. Ms. Grundy came down gently in the pillow. "Gill, you've saved my life!" she said. That night the show was canceled and performed the next day with Gill as the star.

Thanksgiving Fiasco
By: Emily

The show was about to start. Betty’s decorations were superb, but they weren’t entirely stable. Veronica had the perfect costumes, but the question was “Veronica, who made these costumes?” Betty asked. “I did. See? I’ve improved.” Veronica answered. As Veronica walked away, Betty realized that these costumes could easily fall off or fall apart. “She’s improved, but she’s still a careless knitter.” Betty mumbled to herself. (Sigh) “Oh, well, I hope the cast will think that these are the school’s costumes, and nothing will happen.”
Meanwhile, Archie had just calmed the turkeys down, and stopped Jughead from eating all the food. “Whew! I’ve been working all day! I guess I should take a break from -”Archie began, but just then Veronica interrupted. “Archiekins! There you are! I need help deciding which costumes I should keep for myself. Could you help me?” “Anything for you, Ron” Archie answered. As soon as Archie was out of sight, the turkeys climbed out of the pen imprisoning them. The turkeys hid backstage, and no one noticed them.
Now since Reggie was in charge of stage props, naturally he brought a mirror along. He had brought it along so people would think of it as a prop. Unfortunately, he left it in the props basket, so when he comes to look at himself during the play, he’ll have no idea where it is. And we don’t want to know what that’ll lead to.
Jughead decided that he’ll stay backstage, so he wouldn’t eat all that food. While backstage, he noticed something strange. “Hey, Arch, for some reason I keep seeing turkeys everywhere. Do you think I’m going crazy?” Jug asked his pal. But it was Reggie who answered. “Not as crazy as you already are, Ding Bat.” “Shut up, Reg. I thought he was asking me, anyway.” Archie said. “Whatever.” Reggie said as he turned and walked away. “You said you keep seeing turkeys?” Archie asked.
“Yup. And they were alive! Arch, I think I’m going crazy.” Jug said. “You – you mean like, living, breathing, turkeys?” Archie said. “That’s what I said. Why?” Jughead asks. “N –nothing. It – it’s nothing. Archie stammered. “Okay, see you later, Arch.” As Jughead walked away, Archie realized that he was being silly. “No. there’s no way the turkeys got out. The wire keeping them in was tight enough. Jug must be hallucinating.”

. . .

“Students, we go live in 5 minutes. So when the time comes go on out there and do your best!” Ms. Grundy said to the cast. “Gee, I sure hope my turkeys are okay.” Archie wondered out loud. “Better go check on them.” Before Archie could leave Ms. Grundy pulled him back. “Archie, since you are in charge of the turkeys, do you mind making sure that there’re still in the pen? The historic display isn’t until after the show.” “No problem Ms. Grundy. I was just heading there anyway.” Archie answered.
“ Good, because I’ve been getting reports of turkeys running around backstage. We go live in about 3 minutes, and I don’t want turkeys ruining the play.” Miss Grundy told Archie. “Yes ma’am. You can count on me.” Archie told his teacher. “See you later.”
“Betty, I need your help. Jughead and a few other people claim they saw live turkeys running around. If they escaped, could you help me round them up?” Archie asked. “Oh, Archie, I’d love to help you. You go check on the pen. I’ll look for turkeys in case.” Betty answered. “Thanks, Bets, you’re a life saver.” Archie said.
When Archie got to the pen he left the turkeys in, it was empty. “Oh, NO! Ms. Grundy will have my head if the turkeys interrupt the show!” Archie exclaimed. When he got back, the show was starting. Archie went to look for Betty, but instead came face –t to- face with a really mad Reggie. “Okay, Carrot-top, what’d you do with my mirror?” Reggie fumed. “Nothing. Why?” Archie answered. “Because I can’t find my mirror. I brought it here and said it was a prop. I thought people would be smart enough to realize that they didn’t have mirrors back then, and leave it alone. But NO! Someone had to touch my mirror!” Reggie said. “Well, it wasn’t me. I’ve been busy looking for my escaped turkeys. Help me find my turkeys and I’ll help you find your mirror.” Archie said. “Deal” And they were off. Meanwhile Veronica was busy looking at the costumes she made, that she didn’t notice the turkey walk on stage. “Aren’t my costumes wonderful?” She asked anyone who happened to be listening.
“Uh, oh. Looks like Betty’s decorations are sagging. I hope they don’t fall on my wonderful costumes.” On the other side of the stage Betty was wondering the same thing. “Oh, no. Looks like my decorations won’t hold much longer. I hope they make it through.”
Jughead, on the other hand, was busy looking at all the food that was on stage. “What I’d give to be eating all that delicious food.” He told himself. Just then Betty’s decorations fell, which resulted in the turkeys becoming frightened. While the cast tried to wipe themselves off, Veronica’s costumes began to rip. “MY COSTUMES!” She yelled. “What’s happening to my wonderful costumes?!”
“Archie! You’re turkeys are running amok. We’ve got to stop them from ruining the show!” Betty exclaimed. “Too late, Bets. Looks like the turkeys have ideas of their own.” Jughead said.
“ARCHIE! WHERE ARE YOU?!” A voice yelled. “Gulp. Here Ms. Grundy.” Archie said. “I told you to keep the turkeys locked away. What happened?” Ms. Grundy asked. “I-I’m not sure, Ms. Grundy.” Archie stammered. Just then there was a loud noise from the audience. They were clapping! “Wha-What’s this?” Ms. Grundy asked. “You’re disaster proved that the First Thanksgiving wasn’t as easy as people think. I’m sure something weird happened.” Someone from the audience said. There was a murmur of agreement.
“WOW! So our mistakes made this show a success. Wow.” Archie said. “This sure wasn’t your standard play.” Betty said. “Well, I had fun. How ‘bout you, Jug?” Veronica asked. “Jug?” BUURRPP! “Jughead!” They all said.
“what?” Jug answered, and they all had a great time.

The End

Kami S.:


Thanksgiving Fiasco

"Ahem, class. Today we have the *cough* honour of presenting the Thanksgiving Play to all the children in Riverdale Elementary school, " said Ms. Grundy.
Groans filled the classroom. "Cheer up class. You do not want to FAIL, do you?
The whole class quickly put on their (fake) smiles and a few very faint brief cheers escaped their lips.
Down the hall, Coach Cleat's third hour class let out loud whoops of joy in hearing who was hosting this "wonderful" event.
"Each one of you will not only perform in this occasion but also have a part in designing it," Ms. Grunsy said strictly.

*Later on*


(Veronica's group)

"All right girls. This trunk has a bunch of costumes for the pageant that they have used in past years. Let's take a look," said Veronica.
Midge and Nancy watched as Veronica lifted the lid.
"Ewww!" Veronica shreiked
It is an emergency. These are horrid.
Nancy held up an old costume. It was so thin that you could see right through.

(Betty's group)
Ok Dilton, You and Chuck go get the old sets out of the attic. Ginger and I will stay here and look at the stage. said Betty
Dilton and Chuck soon came back with a couple of cardboard trees. They looked like they were about to fall over.
"This is NOT good!" Betty cried.
They all set to work repainting the trees and adding some more cardboard to make them more sturdy.

*The final day*

One hour before the performance started.
"What are these unruley charges!" Mr. Weatherbee shouted.
He rushed through the halls of the elemenry school to find Jughead.
"What in the world did you buy?" he asked.
"Well seeing that it is a thanksgiving play, I thought that thanksgiving refreshments would be needed," shrugged Jughead. It is only the usual, turkey, apple pies, pumpkin pies, cranberrys, potatos, gravey, squash...And don't worry. I got enough to feed the WHOLE school,"
"GRRRRPLOGHWGCNJD" said Mr. Weatherbee not being able to get his speech out correctly.
"What was that sir?"
"Get rid of this food imediatly!" He shouted as he left the building.
"okeydokey, but then there won't be any left for anybody else" said Jug as he began to chow down.

"Archie, let's see the exhibit!" said Ms. Grundy, crossing her fingers that it would not be too much of a disaster.
"All right. I think the man just dropped them off," said Archie.
They went out to see the exhibit on the front lawn of the school.
"Oh no!" said Archie. I said turkeys not turkey eggs!

5 minutes before the performance.

"Oh no the trees and boats are coming apart!" exclaimed Betty.
"I guess we shouldn't have used glue," said Ginger. At least the costumes are still good.

On stage

I still think I should have been the lead pilgrim women, thought Veronica. Instead of a lousy tree holder and a turkey.
"This turkey shall make a grand feasting!" said Pilgrim Chuck. He took deer Veronica out on stage. In the middle of the dinner, Veronica jumped up from off the table and shouted, "You can't eat me, I am really a pilgrim in disguise as a deer,"
"We shall all live in peace now because of the lovely pilgrim woman who diguised herself as a deer and made friends with the indians," She then walked off stage, accidently stepping on Betty's pilgrim dress which ripped because of Veronica's lousy sewing and poor Betty was left standing in her regular clothing. A fake bowl of squash that Betty was holding slipped from her hands landing on Reggie,(The brilliant one who had forgotten to get any props and had had to improvise at the last second) who hadnt seen the whole episode and thought that Archie had punched him so he chased him off the stage. Betty chasing Veronica at the same time.
The whole auditorium of elementry children was full of laughtor and the class was given the most unique performance ever award.

Two days later.

"Class, I have some exciting news. We have been elected to perform the Christmas holiday play," said Ms. Grundy.
The whole class burst out in groans.
