Summary: Betty/Reggie fanfic. Betty hires Reggie to do some mischief for her.
Chapter 1
"Well, Archie and I need to head out if we are gonna make that party." Veronica Lodge said with a careless wave of her well-manicured hand, the nails were an inch long and painted fire engine red, matching her dress. "See you later, Betty darling! Come on Archie!"
Betty Cooper stared at her, speechless with indignation. Veronica was deliberately stealing a date from her.
"Yes Ronnie!" Archie said obediently. He jumped up in his ungainly way and helped Veronica into her coat. Veronica gave him a smile that apparently melted Archie. He smiled back goofily.
Betty watched them walk out of the Chocklit Shoppe arm in arm. Half an hour ago, she had been happy, because Archie had asked her to go bowling with him, even though it was only because Veronica said she was too tired to go out with him today. But then Veronica had suddenly appeared in the Chocklit Shoppe, and came to sit at their table. Immediately she was monopolizing the conversation, rambling on about some party a rich socialite friend of her was having.
"Would you like to go to the party with me, Archiekins?" she had said in a honeyed voice, "It starts in an hour, the dress code is casual, so we can go right now!"
"Wow, sure, Ronnie, I would love to go with you!" Archie had gushed excitedly, completely forgetting about his date with Betty.
And now Betty was sitting alone at the table, mentally cursing her so called best friend in the world. She had not missed the little triumphant smile Veronica had given her. She new exactly what she was doing.
Suddenly Ethel was in front of her, hair tied with multicolored ribbons, drawing out a chair to sit down.
"I saw that, Bets!' she said indignantly, "God, Ronnie can be such a bitch sometimes. Scratch that, Ronnie is such a bitch all the time!"
Betty was too mad to say anything to defend her best friend.
"She had no intention of going to the party before she understood that Archie had asked me out!" she said.
"I know!" Ethel said, "Why do you let her treat you like that? I say, teach her a lesson."
"How? Like I could teach Veronica a lesson!" Betty rolled her eyes. “I lack the evilness.”
“Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” Ethel said in a sing-song voice. “Anyone can come up with some evil scheme if they tried long enough. Go to war, woman!”
The door opened and Midge walked in, looking trim and pretty. “Hi Bets! Hi Ethel!”
“Hey Midge!” Ethel said.
“Where’s your other half?” asked Betty.
“Running some errand.” Midge flopped down in a chair beside them. “What’s going on with you girls?”
“Betty here is thinking about getting back to a certain girl friend.” replied Ethel.
“Ronnie?” grinned Midge, “Nah, you are far too good a person, Betty. You don’t have what it takes to get revenge on Ron. What did she do anyway?”
As Ethel narrated the tale of Veronica’s iniquity, Betty wondered whether it was really impossible for her to get even with Ronnie. She imagined various schemes, but they seemed more and more childish, and not really practical.
“I just wish you could just pay someone to do the mischief for you!” Betty cried in exasperation. “Like you hire someone to mow your lawn or something!”
At this moment a voice behind them drawled, “Hey ladies!”
