Quite a few days had passed by since she had to hide a body for alice cooper and Celestia was missing sweet pea more than ever through out the first week she was depressed and that disaster didn't help, it took a toll on her grades and everyone noticed. it was coming up to Celestia's birthday and sweet pea was going to miss it because he still had four days of being away on business for Fp and Celestia's birthday was the next day. currently she was sat in the wyrm staring blankly into her drink while Toni talked endlessly about her day until Celestia was dragged from her thoughts by toni waving her hand in her best friend's face

"hey Celestia its not that bad he's back in four days" she sighed "yeh but he's not gonna be here in tomorrow is he ?" the girl shook her head a little confused "why?" the girl looked at her friend "its my birthday tomorrow and we have never missed a birthday or Christmas since we've been together and i guess it just feels weird him not being here" the other girl nodded understanding what she meant "well you got me and fangs" just as she finished her sentence fangs walked up behind her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders "hey toni ,Celestia how you holdin up" he looked up to see toni shaking her head vigorously and Celestia saw out of the corner of her eye she smiled slightly "i can see you yano toni" they all giggled but she went back to sighing as she stood up "i better get going anyway i've gotta walk fang and other things" they nodded then fangs spoke "we could come with you" she smiled but declined "nah your good thanks i was gonna call sweet pea while i was walking" he nodded as she walked out the bar and to the trailer where she hooked fang up to his leash and began walking

she plugged in her earphones before selecting the most recent caller id contact and shoving her phone back in her pocket after a few rings of the repetitive tone until someone answered "hello sweet pea's phone"the girl on the other end giggled his girlfriend jaw dropped as she took the phone out of her pocket to check she had correctly selected the right number and just as she suspected it was the right one "hi who the fuck are you and where the fuck is my boyfriend ?" she heard shouting in the background until another voice came to the phone and mumbling was heard "what the fuck are you doing i told you not to touch my stuff, hello who is it" "its me sweet pea yano your girlfriend back home or have you already moved on" he asked in confusion "what are you talking about Celes-" "who's that bitch that answered your phone then sweet pea you know what i'll let you get back to your holiday affair that my dad sent on because he trusted you and so did i " it went silent for a minute as Celestia began her eyes glaze over with tears and he spoke "baby-" "don't baby me " "i would never cheat on you Celestia what do you think i am,i would never hurt you, the girl that just spoke was some mechanic i am because i wanted to get my bike repainted and i went to the bathroom" the girl scoffed "so why didn't you take your phone with you ?" he shook his head "i left it on my bike seat and she obviously picked it up when you called " "let me talk to her " he handed the other girl the phone and she began speaking

"hey hows it going ?" Celestia's anger began to rise just hearing the voice of another girl from sweet pea's phone "have you been fucking my boyfriend?" she asked bluntly and the girl scoffed "what no i've been painting his bike " the other girl laughed "good because if i ever caught him cheating with you i would kill you myself along with sweet pea and i would get away with it because of my position in the serpents you understand me?" the girl stuttered out a yes "what's a serpent ?" the girl laughed as she continued walking with her dog "its my gang here and sweet pea just so happens to be a part of it ""oh i saw him wearing that jacket actually "she hummed "damn right he's loyal in every aspect including me so keep your oily paws off of him""will do " Celestia then said " now hand me back to my boyfriend "

"baby listen i'm sorry if i scared or upset you"her tone softened "its fine your lucky i trust you " he laughed "and i'm lucky you love me""yeh that too but you know what day it is tomorrow right" it took him a minute to realise"oh fuck baby its your birthday i'm so sorry i'm not gonna be there " she sighed "no its fine at least i'll see you a few days after " "no its not alright i wanted to be there with you baby " she smiled "i know but you can make it up to me some other way " she bit her lip and he smirked "you know it but i still feel bad but you wanna talk for a while tell me what i've missed?" she laughed "yeh actually thats the reason i called you so not much has happened just the same old thing but i'm staying at my dads because my mom hit me " he sounded shocked "she hit you what the fuck why didn't you tell me ?" "i didn't want to worry you because i knew you wouldn't be able to concentrate on what you was meant to be doing " he smiled "babe you should've told me " she hummed "well i better go i've just walked to the wyrm with fang i'll talk to you later or tomorrow ok baby" "ok tell toni and fangs i said hi " she nodded as she pushed open the doors "will do bye love you " he repeated her "bye love you"

and with that they hung up and Celestia spent most of her night talking to fangs and toni playing pool until it hit 12 am the remainder of people who were in the bar broke into a chorus of unison singing happy birthday to the princess of the snakes and Fp walked towards her as she blushed and smiled by the bar when they finished he spoke to her with his arm around her shoulder "happy birthday babygirl we're gonna make this day the best one yet" she sat with a faint smile on her face "thanks dad" he saw her sadness and questioned her "whats up ?" she sighed "sweet pea isn't here for my birthday " she stood up hugging him and he sighed "i'm sorry Celestia i didn't realise " she nodded "its fine i'm gonna go home i'm tired but i'll see you when you get in or tomorrow " he nodded "you can take my bed if you want " she smiled "nah i like putting my feet on jugheads back while he's sleeping " he laughed and shook his head "your one of a kind " she smiled as she walked away while patting her leg "cm'on fang lets go home " he got up from lying on the floor and ran to her she stroked his head and began her walk home

when she arrived at the trailer she got changed and got into bed where jughead already was she layed down and cuddled up to jughead putting her feet on his back making jolt awake "god dammit Celestia " she laughed "you love me really and i'm older than you now so shut up"he giggled before drifting back to sleep mumbling a happy birthday to her as she fell asleep

-

A few hours later she was awoken by something licking her face she thought it was a dream and sleepily said "sweet pea stop it " she rolled on her back and was startled by jugheads voice "sweet pea licks your face?" she opened her eyes blushing "ewww no" she said he shook his head giggling " whatever your into i guess" she groaned and threw a pillow at him and shouted "SHUT THE FUCK UP JUGHEAD don't think i didn't hear you and betty on the couch last night before dad came in"his jaw dropped and he ran out the room merely missing the sleeping utensil then Fp walked to the door frame and leaned on it

"woah someone's angry what happened?" she put the remaining pillow over her face and mumbled "jughead said sweet pea licks my face " he burst out laughing and heard jughead shout "no i didn't" Celestia got up and ran past Fp and was about to lunge for him when she was caught mid jump by her dads arms "hey get off me" he shook his head "easy tiger we need to keep your brother" she giggled but still tried to escape and her dad said "if i put you down you can't kill jughead ok" she wriggled "no promises" he glared at her and she nodded and he put her down she looked at jughead and poked her tongue out like a five year old and they all burst out laughing as they stood in the kitchen

it went silent as the girl got her bowl of cereal and turned around leaning on the counter to be met with two pairs of eyes "why are you staring?" jughead replied "you really don't remember do you?" she shook her head in confusion "follow me" Fp exclaimed she did as she was told and followed behind to the living room where an array of presents layed on the table in the middle of the room she shrugged her shoulders "yeh its some gifts who are they for ?" the two men laughed "yours stupid its your birthday duh" she looked at him blankly and said "yayy" she announced in a sarcastic tone Fp and jughead raised a brow "you know i didn't wanna spend my birthday without sweet pea so i guess i pushed it to the back of my mind and forgot" they hummed and Fp spoke "your less enthusiastic about your birthday than jughead and thats saying something" they all hummed a laugh and Celestia sat down and looked up at her dad "well i suppose one or two presents couldn't hurt"

he let out a laugh and patted her shoulder "thats my girl" she smiled faintly as her brother handed her a wrapped box this repeated for half an hour until everything was unwrapped and admired by the newly aged girl she stood up with a wide spread smile on her face and pulled her brother and dad in for a hug "thank you so much guys who knew you were so good at choosing make up" she laughed "i'm assuming Toni helped you choose?" they nodded guiltily "well none the less i love it all thank you" they smiled as they said "well none the less i love them thank you so much" they smiled as they conversed about something "well we gotta head out so looks like you got the trailer to yourself" she squealed "yes i'm so going back to bed wake me if you need me " she ran back to the room she was previously sleeping in and cuddled up to fang and fell back to sleep until later

-

After more hours passed she was awoken by jughead calling her she rolled over and rubbed her eyes slowly opening them "cm'on Celes you have to get up we're taking you out for dinner" "what time is it?" he giggled "its like six thirty " "in the morning?" he shook his head "no the evening" she sat upright and rushed around "what the fuck how did i sleep for so long " he just shrugged and walked out the room leaving her to get ready she went with a business sort of style she had a sea green shirt with a tight black skirt tucked in and black platformed heels she then proceeded to use the make up she had got from her dad and brother she went with glittery green eyeshadow with a pink lipstick and a necklace that said her name on it in gold and to top it off a gold snake bracelet that wrapped around her wrist

when she walked out of the room jughead stood waiting scrolling on his phone until he looked up "woah you look hot" she walked up to him and hit his arm playfully "eww shut up your my brother" he laughed and then said "ready to go ?" she nodded and they walked out the door to his bike when she approached hers he stopped her "no its your birthday i'll let you ride with me " she giggled but then sighed "ok i just really wish sweet pea was here to give me a ride to where ever we're going for dinner" they carried on to his jugheads bike and got on racing down to the destination but before they did jughead gave her a blindfold "put this on" she was sceptical but did so anyway"but my make -" "just put it on" and they carried on to where they were to supposed to be going

on arrival jughead got off and led his sister into her surprise "jughead what are you planning i don't trust you stop tell me now" he just laughed as her had his arm looped in hers then they came to a halt and her instructions were given by her brother "ok you can take it off now" she did as told and was met by many shouts and cheers from the wyrm "SURPRISE" she jumped back but immediately smiled as she saw Fp walking towards her putting an arm around her shoulders she cuddled into him "oh my god thank you i can't believe you did this how?" he laughed "easy all those 'errands' we had to run led up to this " she smiled "thank you" as she hugged him all of her friends including people from the northside were there and they all wished her a happy birthday

after the party had been going on for a little while and Celestia sat talking a drinking her dad approached her "hey darlin' hows it goin ?" she laughed "its goin great thanks dad i really appreciate all of this " he nodded "well guess what " she crossed her arms "what?" he whispered into her ear "there's another surprise outside waiting for you" she looked up at him shock "really you didn't have to do that" he laughed and shook his head

"oh but i did come on i'll show you it" she had a huge smile on her face walking out of the wyrm but before they got outside Fp put his hands over his daughters eyes she laughed "really?,again with the blindness " "yep otherwise it would ruin the surprise" Toni's voice came from behind her "what are you guys doing here?" then fangs replied "we wanted to see your reaction "then they came to a stop and Fp said

"ok on the count of three one....two....three" with that his hands moved from Celestia's eyes to reveal her present she gasped then screamed with happiness before turning to her dad crying "dad what the fuck A PORSCHE what how i-i" she jumped into his arms and cried "no way how could you afford this dad i can't take this its way too much" he laughed and shook his head "the serpents all pitched in they said they're queen needs her transport ""yeh but not a fucking expensive ass car i would've been happy with a heap of metal oh my god i can't believe this " he smiled as he hugged her "so you like it ?" "i fucking love it" then fangs spoke joking "more than sweet pea?" she laughed " yes more than sweet pea " he whistled "danggg" they all laughed as she admired the car then jughead questioned

"aren't you gonna try it out?" she nodded still smiling she wiped away her tears and opened the door she couldn't see in because the windows were tinted when she opened the door she got the shock of her life in the drivers seat was sat none other than sweet pea she squealed and backed away to her dad because she was in such shock ,he stepped out the car and stood with open arms she ran and jumped into his arms wrapping her legs around his waist she cried into his shoulder streams of tears rolling down her face saturating his jacket she pulled her head back and said through sobs

"babyyyyyy" she squeaked in a high pitched voice he laughed as she jumped down he instantly put his arm around her waist and they looked at the audience that had gathered all staring with amusement in their eyes "so not only have you got me a new car but you also brought back my boyfriend this is the best birthday ever thank you dad " he came over to her and took her away from sweet pea to embrace her but she didn't let go of sweet pea she held his hand making sure he didn't leave her again "yeh well you deserve the best the loyalty you have for everyone isn't taken unnoticed"her smile only grew bigger "i can't thank you or the serpents enough for all you've done for me you guys are my family"

"but i'm also your family" a voice was heard behind her she turned around to see her mom standing awkwardly with a small wrapped giftbox in her left hand "but are you though all you do is shout and abuse me and who were the ones who caught me in the fall? the serpents" the mother shook her head "no thats not true""tell me a time you helped me recover from something you always out at work and no matter how many presents you brought back that still wasn't enough i just wanted your love " the mom began to cry "i had to provide for us both seeing as your dad wasn't in the pict-""don't even go there dad has been there ever since i found out he was my dad and even before when i used to go to the trailer he'd still look after me he's just bought me a fucken porsche so come back to me when you actually care " she went to walk to her new car but her mother stood in her way "look i just wanted you give you this" she held out the small box and the girl took it

she unwrapped it to find a small ring to add to her collection it was one with her birthstone in the middle she smiled faintly as she took it out of the box "thank you" she said bluntly and her mother spoke again "so will you forgive me?" the girl sighed "i need time to think about this and i doesn't mean i'm coming to live back with you i live with dad and sometimes sweet pea now" the woman nodded in understanding "so i guess i'll see you round luna " as she got in the driver seat she called out "sweet pea get in you have explaining to do " he laughed and did as he was told and sat next to her while she rolled down the window and shouted over the roaring reving engine "i'll see you at the trailer later" he nodded

with that she sped off leaving nothing but dust in place all that was heard was the cars engine and the hollering of the girl of he laughed and shook his head as he led everyone back into the bar saying "thats one mad kid but she's my kid" and they continued with the party they were having meanwhile,

"hey Celestia could you slow down please" she burst out laughing "what little sweet pea scared of going fast" she said as she put her foot down more causing the car to go faster "celestia" he warned she pouted "come on sweet i'm just jokin around" he crossed his arms and she grabbed his hand while steering with the other "i missed you sweet" he replied "i missed you more"she smiled as she squeezed his hand "so you wanna explain to me where you went all this time?"

he giggled lightly "most of it was business but Fp saw this car and said i should go get it so i did and we had it altered to go fasted thats when that girl answered the phone " she side glared at him but went back to smiling as the car came to an abrupt stop "we're here " he looked puzzled at his girlfriend "where are we""you'll see" she replied as she got out of the car and walked around to the front when sweet pea got out he saw they were on the middle of a cliff that had a view of the town of riverdale when they came face to face she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a long slow kiss

when they pulled away she was surprisingly not out of breath "damn that was good i haven't felt your lips in a whileee" he just laughed and wrapped his arms around her waist looking into her eyes he whispered into her ear "happy birthday baby" and she said "i love you" and they stood embracing eachother until they got back in the car and sat talking about their past weeks while the car radio played softly it was a perfect night for Celestia and she wouldn't have had it any other way
