Didn't they tell us, don′t rush into things?
Didn't you flash your green eyes at me?
Didn′t you calm my fears with a Cheshire cat smile?
Purple-blue and pink light swept across the hall. Huge snowflakes and strips of silver tinsel hung from the ceiling, giving no indication that the dance floor was a converted gym.
You had smiled as you had entered the room. JJ had only felt nervousness when he had squeezed your hand.
The initial confidence he had felt when you had picked him up from his home in your car had quickly evaporated.
You only had to glance at JJ as he approached you in the black suit he was wearing, to add to your enthusiasm for the evening. The two of you stood close together, amidst other dancing couples and you could smell JJ’s perfume.
JJ's hands were on your shoulders and yours were placed on JJ’s hips. JJ was nervous. Was that right? Was that how you dance with a boy? Was this comfortable for you, or should he take a step further away from you?
You only had eyes for JJ. As you swayed to the slow song, your gaze rested on the blonde hair, styled in soft waves today. They looked so soft and you had to resist running his fingers through them all evening. JJ’s eyes looked different in the dim light depending on the color of the headlight hitting them—pink, purple, dark blue. But you didn't need headlights to know that his eyes were that piercing light blue you loved so much, that only reflected in the waves beneath your surfboard. Maybe that's why you’d been so smitten with them from the start.
JJ’s eyes darted nervously over the people standing around you. Other couples swaying to the song, entwined tightly, but none of them were like... you two.
Today JJ had decided to wear a formal suit. You thought he was pretty anyway. You found that JJ had different auras depending on the choice of clothing that he wore. JJ with the tank tops and cargo shorts was a sort of reckless boy from the poor part of the island, who'd found his best friends in teacher's favorite Pope Heyward, climate activist Kiara Carrera and surfer John Booker Routledge. JJ with the black suit and a tie represented the crush of all girls, the heartthrob, the flirt. But as you looked at the blond boy in front of you, hands on his hips and pink-purple-blue light all around you both, all you could see was JJ, your JJ.
JJ felt the nervousness growing in him and instinctively turned his head forward again, where he was immediately caught by your gaze. His boyfriend’s warm eyes looked down at him, and while the lighting around them didn't give him a good view, JJ knew what color they were. Y/E/C like the lush spring days he knew from his childhood. Maybe that's why he always felt so safe in them. JJ noticed his heartbeat slow down and his doubts recede as he looked into your eyes, because wasn’t everything around him meaningless when Y/N Y/L/N was standing in front of him, his Y/N?
"They're staring," JJ whispered hoarsely. You almost didn't hear him. JJ felt you look around, becoming aware of the fixed eyes that were only on you two. But you just shrugged, a faint smile playing on your lips, and JJ wondered how one person could be so brave.
"Yes, because I’m dancing with you. They're jealous.” JJ’s eyes widened at your statement.
"Jealous?" he repeated, dumbfounded.
You nodded. And with a slight smile in your purple eyes, you leaned down to him and whispered, "I know that I would be."
JJ could feel your breath on his skin. Then you bridged the gap between him and you and placed your soft lips on JJ’s in a slow, promising kiss. And the pleasantly warm feeling that spread through the pit of his stomach when he was touched was always worth the staring looks.
We found Wonderland
You and I got lost in it
And we pretended it could last forever

60 years ago: Debbie Harry posing with her date during the 1963 Hawthorne High senior prom, radiant, way before becoming the NY new wave princess we all know her to be.
Seeing another 1963 photo of her with a classmate of hers, Ernie Reamer, in which they are captioned as the 'best looking' senior couple of that year, I can't help but wonder whether it's the same guy.
Debbie grew up in Hawthorne, NJ, at a time when it was transorming from a rural small town into a proper suburb, trying to discover who she really was but knowing in her heart that she wanted to be some kind of artist or bohemian. She was a good student & a cheerleader, the church choir/all-american type of girl back then, so if there's a message for all you kids out there, that's to stay at school and then follow your dreams.

"Prescription For Love"
Tumblr media
According to the comics dot org index, this three panel sequence was pulled out of an earlier Bob Montana Archie daily strip. Great punchline, I know. Reprised for Little Archie decades later, though at this point the extended story sees one amusing difference: Little Betty does not get to strangle her disinterested love. Age difference, and probably attitude one for broad comedy approach of the 1950s.
Tumblr media
Not bringing the doctor into the Little Archie narrative. It is also interesting that Pop Tate draws up the plan -- subterfuge on Barry's part -- "pretend to be sick". The original has the doctor diagnosing what is something an actual psychosomatic malady.
Tumblr media
I gather by the 1970s we are not interested in unprofessional medical doctors playing psychiatrist / cupid.
Tumblr media
"Heart trouble".
Tumblr media
"Don't die Betty" doesn't carry over.
Tumblr media
Have to think through a bit more, but I guess early 50s Betty is ripe to pilfer for the purposes of Little Betty.

A Second Choice
Pairing: Robin Buckley x F!Reader
Summary: Robin asked you out for Prom and you couldn’t be any happier. As you wait patiently for her to pick you up, it starts to rain. Pouring rain. You thought she would’ve just forgot about you and that was fine, so Steve took you there with his own car. As you got out of the car, you see something or someone in the rain. And you did not like it.
Warning: mega angst, misunderstandings, oblivious robin again, hurt reader, strong emotions and language.
Authors note: I will be making a part two if I get the chance to, please comment if you would like to be tagged on the next part! Also heads up, my inbox and messages are open to anybody and everybody. I take in requests, blurbs,ideas,etc. Anything to please you guys<33
“So would you be my..prom date (y/n)?” Robin said while she plays with the buttons on her Jean jacket,and she was nervous that you might say no so she really doubted it at first.You were pretty sure she rehearsed that line for hours,knowing how Robin usually is.But again you thought it was just a friend way,because she only had eyes for vickie or that’s what you thought. “Yeah definitely!” You gave her a huge smile and Robin just looks at you instead of playing with the buttons.
“Really? Oh my gosh- uh- wow- I didn’t expect you to say yes-“ her hands were all over the place,it was so adorable. You took your textbooks out and closed your locker, you started to chuckle at Robin’s expression. She looked at you again and just couldn’t help but plaster a genuine smile. “I’ll pick you up after school okay?” She said with another smile. “That’s great, I’ll get ready before you get to pick me up then!” You said in response.Robin was so proud of herself and just turned around to head to her class. You could see her wavy dirty blonde hair bounce. She’s so happy that you said yes, it almost melted your heart.
As you were leaving Hawkins high, you walked pass Vickie and Robin talking against a few lockers. They’re laughing and having sweet moments together. And all you could ever do was look from afar. You sigh and held your book bag close,then quickly picked up your pace and left. “Hm,prom date huh? I knew I was nothing compared to vickie. I mean that’s who Robin wanted anyways..” you thought to yourself. Almost wanting to choke by the lie that Robin said.
But in Robin’s point of view. It was different.
“I got my date! I finally asked out (y/n) to prom!” Robin was so pumped up and excited.She wanted to ask you for years,but you always had these other guys that asked you,so she was just bummed.But now everything is different.And vickie was a really supportive friend towards Robin too. “I’m so happy for you Robin!and my boyfriend asked me out too!!” Vickie said while her hands were on her face,just thinking about the jock Dan made her blush .Robin was too focused on what just happened earlier that she forgot that vickie was still there. Not until she realized you walked past them. Robin wanted to say hey,but you walked way too fast for her to even say a thing. So all she was left with were words that never left her lips.
. . .
You paced back and forth inside your room, trying to think about what to wear. But all you were focused on was that memory of Robin talking to Vickie. You bit your bottom lip and just sighed. You were jealous of her, you really were. But you knew that jealousy wasn’t going to take you anywhere in life, so you took a deep breath and looked through your closet.
Now you regret not going to the mall with your mom. You were digging in your closet,trying to find something that would be beautiful on you. As soon as you wanted to give up, you see a bag poke out with a pile of clothes that you just threw. It was a birthday gift, from Robin, she gave this to you two years ago. You opened the bag and saw something you never thought would see. And it even scared you how the timing was absolutely perfect.It was a beautiful long dark red dress,silky smooth and it hugged your body just fine. You chuckled by the thought of Robin just asking every worker,” hi do you know where to find the most-uhm-beautiful-elegant-perhaps red dress?” And ending it off with a weird smile.
You slide on the red dress and looked at yourself in the mirror. You were truly stunning. The dress made your curves look smaller and it just really suits you. You added some final touches with jewelry,rings, and of course makeup. As you were about to leave your room, you forgot one last thing. Your gift for Robin was left on top of your bed, it was a bouquet. Flowers that just reminded you of Robin and her scent. You snatched it off the bed and quickly left.
A couple minutes have been passed by and there was no sign of Robin. Maybe she just forgot about you? Yeah that’s okay. You knew she wouldn’t actually forget about you,that would be hilarious if she did. Right? I mean she was the one who insisted on picking you up after all.You waited another couple of minutes and it starts to rain. Great,this just makes your day even better. You took the flowers and held it close to your chest,you didn’t want it to get soaking wet. I mean it was a gift for Robin after all.
After another couple of minutes, it was pouring outside. You had enough and dialed up Steve. Too angry to dial up Robin instead.
“Hi this is Steve, who is this?”
“Could you please take me to Hawkins high right now?” You mumbled. Not in a good mood at all.
“Yeah sure, I’ll be there in a quick minute.” He said
You said thanks and he ended the call. As soon as Steve parked in front of your yard, you ran inside his car trying to shield your head with your hand. And sadly that didn’t work. You were now soaking wet, and so were the flowers. Today just couldn’t get any worse.
It was a silent drive there, Steve was focused on driving and it seems like he wasn’t going to prom. He was wearing shorts and a regular white t-shirt. You sighed and thought about what happened to both him and Nancy, they were extremely head over heels for each other,just like me and Robin, but in a friend way,yeah,in a friend way.
Being “just friends” just breaks your heart. Because you actually caught feelings for your best friend, but it was never the same. Because it was vickie that she had eyes for. But anyways there’s no way Nancy would dump Steve like that. It just doesn’t add up. You pushed your hair back and took in a large sum of air, everything was such a blur.
Steve parked in-front of Hawkins high and you opened the door. “Hey,have fun okay?” He looked at you, making sure you had the time of your life there. “I will,don’t worry about me Steve.” You smiled back and proceed to leave the car. It was still pouring rain and Steve wanted to hand you an umbrella but he forgot it, he was in a rush to drop you off here so he didn’t know. You said it was fine and proceeded to leave. The rain was clearly not stopping anytime soon so might as well have fun in the rain. You’re already soaking wet. But the dress seems fine. But your makeup says otherwise.
As soon as you closed the door and held the bouquet of flowers on one hand. You saw Robin in a suit and Vickie with a pretty light blue dress, they were just laughing underneath an umbrella. And they were just a couple feet in front of you.You were soaking wet, tears and the water that fell on your face were mixed together. Mascara running down your face, lipstick smudged. How could she forget you? Were you just her second choice?
You stood there for awhile, realizing that you were just another random person to Robin, like a chess piece. Nothing but a toy in her eyes,that’s exactly what you were to her.The cold air seems to thicken around you and you couldn’t hear a thing, or you didn’t want to hear a thing. Vickie’s little laugh and chuckles.It could be heard miles away. I thought this night was for us. Just us. But it seems like Robin has other plans.
Not even a shattered heart and cold air was enough for your body to react. Everything felt numb. All you could feel was the rain hitting roughly against your cold face. Everything else was in slow motion.Robin’s goal was Vickie and only Vickie. You gripped the flowers tightly, making the petals fall off gently. It fell softly on the wet concrete ground. And as soon as it fell-
-Robin turned around and saw you, she was so happy to see you. Her features were so noticeable now, light blue eyes,plumped and soft lips,freckled face,wavy dirty blonde hair,and a beautiful smile to top everything.She was gorgeous,but you couldn’t say that to her.You just couldn’t. Robin wanted to approach you and run into your arms,as much as she was happy to see you,she didn’t want you to get sick in the rain. She had the biggest goofiest smile ever,Until she saw that look on your face, robins face turned into a shocked frown,she could tell you were not happy.
