A Journey To Find True Love

We start off with Archie as the bachelor, Ronnie is in his season. The story progresses, and she becomes the next bachelorette after he finishes his season. Both of them go on their journey to find true love.

I will be writing this AU in the form of a tv show. Since, we all know that “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” are reality tv shows.

Okay. Without further ado, Buckle up, buckerooos!

Night One.

Night One. Archie’s season.

(setting: Andrews Household.)

Everyone moves at a different pace. How long does the average adult sleep at night? 8 hours? 6 hours? 12 hours? I would imagine that it varies based on what that person has planned the following morning, or what time they fell asleep the previous night. Now, let me ask you a better question. How long does it take for the average adult to fall in love? One year? Six months? Two years? Or does that vary on the duration of time spent together?

For Archie Andrews, this needs to be done in six weeks. When he had been announced as the bachelor, it was a moment of excitement, followed by a moment of apprehension. Could he find true love? Is it even possible to fall in love in six weeks?

“How do you feel?” Fred Andrews asked his son, entering Archie’s bedroom. Watching Archie put together his suit and tie.

“I’m nervous. I don’t know what to expect,” Archie confessed.

“You could be engaged six weeks from now,” Fred added. “Do you think that’s something you’re ready for?”

Archie smiled. “Absolutely. I’m ready to settle down, start a family. Maybe I’ll meet my wife tonight. I’m hopeful.”

Chris Harrison, host of The Bachelor, entered the room. “Archie? Your limo is here.”

Archie gave his dad a hug. “This is it. See you in six weeks.”

“Good luck son. Go get her.”

(setting: Outside Bachelor Mansion)

Once Archie arrived at the Bachelor Mansion, he stood outside.

Waiting for the limo to arrive.

In this limo, he was expecting 10 women.

He took deep breaths. In, and out.

A fresh breeze swept through the leaves, giving Archie the last push he needed when finally, the limo arrived.

As the door opened, he saw a beautiful woman, with long red hair, and a sparkling red gown, exit the limo and began walking towards him.

“Hey! How are you?” He said to her as she approached him.

“I’m doing exceptionally well, how are you?” she responded, greeting him with a hug.

“Good,” Archie said. “What’s your name?”

“I’m Cheryl Blossom, and I have to say, it’s so lovely to finally meet you. You look so handsome,” she commented with a flirty, inviting smile.

“Thanks, you look beautiful. I love that dress,” he flirted right back.

“Why thank you. Red is my signature,” She said with a wink.

“I don’t think I’ve seen anybody look that good in red until now,” he chuckled, giving her another hug. “Alright well, I’ll see you inside okay?”

“Yes you certainly will,” she said, blowing him a kiss as she walked away from him and into the mansion.

Archie smiled. “She was gorgeous,” he whispered to himself.

He turned around to face the limo.

His jaw dropped.

A strikingly beautiful woman, with dark hair, and silver silk gown exit the limo and begin to walk towards him.

“Hello!” He said to her as she approached him.

“Hey there,” she said, greeting him with a hug. He was able to smell her vanilla scented perfume. “My name is Veronica Lodge. And I just want to say that I’m genuinely looking forward to getting to know you, and your heart, on this journey together.”

Archie smiled. “Same here. I can’t wait to get to know you on a deeper level.” He gave her another hug. “Alright, I’ll catch up with you inside.”

“Sounds amazing,” she said, walking away from him, and entering the mansion.

He watched her walk away, still smiling.

It wasn’t until he heard the footsteps of the next woman, that he turned around to face the limo.

“Hey Archie! I’m Ethel,” a woman with short red curly hair said, approaching him. “It’s so good to meet you!”

“Hi Ethel! Likewise,” Archie said, giving her a hug. “I’m digging the bow.”

Ethel giggled, “Thank you, it’s my favorite.”

“That’s cute. I really like your name. It’s unique,” Archie said, smiling.

Ethel started to blush, “I like your name a lot too!”

“Alright, I’ll see you in there okay?” He said, giving her another hug

“Okay great!” She said, beaming widely as she walked away from him, and entered the mansion.

As she grew out of earshot, he said to himself, “Aww, she was so sweet.”

Chris Harrison walked over to Archie. “You’ve just met three of your women. How do you feel?”

“I’m okay! I really am. They’re making this a lot easier for me. I really appreciate that,” Archie responded, with a genuine smile.

“Okay good. Because you have seven more to go.”

(setting: Confessional Booth)

“Meeting Archie was an absolute dream. The red headed Ansel Elgort. I’m beyond thrilled to start this journey with him. I’ve tried every flavor of boy but orange,” Veronica said, giggling.

(setting: Outside Bachelor Mansion)

“So far these women have been so great. Nobody’s done anything too crazy yet,” Archie chuckled to himself.

When....suddenly...

“Now I’m speechless. Over the edge, I’m just breathless. I never thought I could catch this, lovebug again,” Archie heard an angelic voice sing.

He looked all around him, searching for where the singing was coming from. She then came out of the limo, a beautiful woman with a turquoise sequin dress, and started to approach him.

“Hopeless. Head over heels in the moment. I never thought I could get hit by this love bug again,” she sang.

“Wow, you are just...” He was at a loss for words. “Wow.”

She giggled. “I’m Josie. I know you’re meeting a lot of women tonight, but I wanted you to know, that music is what I’m truly passionate about.”

He smiled. “I love that. I’m actually very passionate about music too.”

“Are you?” She giggled.

“I am,” he began. “I play the guitar, and I sing. Maybe we can jam together sometime.”

“I’m up for it, as long as you try to keep up,” she said, with a wink.

“I’ll do my best,” he chuckled.

She gave him a hug. “I’ll see you inside, Justin Gingerlake,” she said playfully, letting out a cute giggle.

He laughed, as she walked away from him and into the mansion. “She was amazing,” he whispered to himself, watching her walk away.

******Commercial Break*******

(setting: Outside Bachelor Mansion)

Archie turned to face limo when he noticed someone in a giant sloth costume walking towards him. “Um....hey?” He chuckled nervously.

After a few minutes of the sloth moving very slowly, the sloth removed their mask, revealing a very beautiful woman with black curls and a dark violet lipstick. “Hey Archie. My name’s Valerie. And I know this costume seems crazy, but this was just my way of showing you, that in relationships I do like to take things slow. I want for us to move on our on pace, and not rush into things we’re not ready for.”

He smiled. “I really appreciate you being honest with me, Valerie. More than anything, I want an engagement at the end of this. I want to be able to get down on one knee, knowing that we’re both serious about each other, and that we want the same things, and give the relationship time to reach that point.”

She blushed. “I’m glad you understand. And I’m really looking forward to this experience with you.”

“So am I,” he said, still smiling. “I’ll find you inside, okay?” he said, giving her a hug.

“I’ll be waiting,” she giggled, as she walked away from him, and entered the mansion.

(setting: Confessional Booth)

“This girl just walked into the mansion, wearing a sloth costume... and I’m like, what in the world?” Cheryl said, laughing. “Sweetie, you’re making a fool out of yourself in front of Archie, in front of the other women, and on national television. I won’t be surprised if she doesn’t get a rose tonight.”

(setting: Outside Bachelor Mansion)

“I brought you candy hearts,” Melody Valentine began. “Because I want to ask you, if you would be my valentine?” she laughed.

Archie laughed. “I see what you did there!”

He gave her a hug. “I will gladly accept these candy hearts. And, of course I’ll be your valentine.”

She giggled. “I’ll see you inside.”

As she walked away from, he took a bite from one of her candy hearts. He smiled, “How did she know I love chocolate?” he chuckled to himself.

He put away the candy hearts when he saw a very pretty brunette with side bangs and edgy black dress walking towards him.

“How are you?” He called to her.

“Hey, I’m great! How are you?” she responded.

“I’m good, it’s so great to meet you,” Archie said, greeting her with a hug.

“You too! My name’s Midge Klump. And, I know it’s generally your duty to give out roses to us, but...I thought I’d change the game a little and give you this. Archie, will you accept this rose?” she laughed, pulling out a ravishing rose from behind her back.

He chuckled. “Yes, I will accept this rose.”

Thank you,” she giggled.

Archie gave her another hug. “Meet you inside?”

“Can’t wait,” she said, walking towards the mansion.

(setting: Confessional Booth)

“Everyone’s been really chill so far. I know there’s only three girls left for Archie to meet, so right I’m just kinda nervously waiting for that one girl to show up. The girl who’s gonna stir the pot and cause drama. I’ve seen this show before. So now I’m just waiting for that girl to show up,” Ethel laughed.

(setting: Outside Bachelor Mansion)

“You.....brought me a dog?” Archie laughed nervously.

“It’s not just any dog, this is one the best showdogs in Riverdale. You only deserve the best,” an attractive woman said, wearing a pink dress with feathers all around the hips.

“Ha, thanks” Archie said. “What was your name again?”

“Katherine.”

“Right, okay. Well I’ll see you inside, okay?” he said, giving her a hug.

“Without a doubt you will.”

She walked away. Immediately Chris Harrison approached Archie, taking the dog. “Thank you,” Archie whispered.

“I got you,” Chris said, patting Archie on the back.

As Chris walked away, Archie had lost the ability to speak.

He saw an exquisite, graceful, beautiful blonde woman walking towards him, wearing a rose gold sparkly gown, and carrying a small box.

“H-H-Hey. How are you?” he asked, instantly smitten.

“I’m good! How are you?” She asked. She paused. “I”m Betty Cooper.”

“Nice to meet you Betty,” Archie said, giving her a hug. “What’d you got there?” he asked, smiling.

“I’m so nervous right now, I have so many butterflies,” She giggled.

He smiled.

“No I literally have butterflies,” She said, opening the box, revealing many plastic butterflies.

Archie laughed. “No more butterflies,” he said, playfully tossing some of them on the ground.

Betty laughed, and poured all of the plastic butterflies out of the box. “I guess that takes care of all my butterflies” she sang playfully.

“No I still feel like I have some butterflies,” Betty giggled.

“So do I” Archie said, beaming. He found himself blushing.

She gave him another hug. “See you in there?”

“I’ll find you,” he said, still smiling, as she walked away.

He looked at the ground, picked up one of the butterflies, and placed it in his coat pocket.

(setting: Confessional Booth)

“I could tell that Archie was nervous, but I think he’s just nervous for this whole experience in general. But I think he’s handling himself really well so far,” Betty said, giggling.

(setting: Outside Bachelor Mansion)

“I know you’re meeting a bunch of women tonight,” Ginger Lopez said. “So, I brought you this bag of cinnamon, so you can remember me as Sweet Ginger.”

Archie laughed. “I definitely will. Alright, I’ll see you inside.”

She walked away, skipping in joy.

Chris Harrison walked over to Archie. “You, sir, just met all ten of your women.”

“It was really fun,” Archie said.

“So, I’m going to give you this,” Christ said, giving Archie a rose. “This is the first impression rose. Give this to the woman who truly stood out to you. And that women will be safe from elimination at your first rose ceremony.”

“Sounds good,” Archie said, taking the rose.

As Chris walked away, Archie thought long and hard about who he wanted to give this rose to.

(setting: Bachelor Mansion, living room. All of the women are sitting on the couches, drinking champagne. Waiting for the rose ceremony.)

“You...you got him a dog?” Ginger asked.

“I sure did,” Katherine said, proudly.

“I could’ve done a lot more than just a bag of a cinnamon…” Ginger whispered to herself.

“Eh. You could’ve done worse,” Cheryl said, looking over at Valerie, who at this point had changed out of her sloth costume and into a purple strapless gown.

Valerie caught her glance. “You can say whatever you want. But it’s up to Archie whether or not he’ll give us a rose.”

“At least I don’t need an insane costume or a gift to be memorable.”

Archie entered the room. “Hey, ladies. You all look so beautiful.”

All the women smiled at Archie. He looked at Valerie. “Can I steal you away for a minute?”

She smiled. “Of course you can.”

(setting: Confessional Booth)

“I don’t think any of us were happy to watch them walk away together. We knew it meant one of two things. Either she’s getting the first impression rose, or he’s sending her home early because he knows he could never be in serious relationship with someone who shows up in a ridiculous costume,” Katherine said, smirking.

(setting: Outside by the fountain)

“It really meant a lot to me, how open you were about what you want. One of the things I really look for in a woman, is someone who is determined and strong. Someone who not only has her heart in the right place, but also is considerate of what I want, too,” Archie said, holding her hand.

“I agree. I really do believe that complete transparency and compassion is what keeps relationships healthy. But I also want us to be able to communicate in a way that, we both listen and understand how the other person feels,” she said, smiling.

“Absolutely. That’s what I want, too,” Archie said, pulling out the rose from behind him. “I’m really looking forward to this journey with you, and I hope that we can change each other for the better. Valerie, will you accept this rose?”

She smiled. “Without a doubt.”

The two leaned in for their first kiss.

(setting: Rose Ceremony)

Veronica, Ethel, Cheryl, Ginger, Melody, Josie, Betty, Midge, Katherine, and Valerie entered the room. There were seven roses on the table.

Archie entered the room. “Before I go into this, I just want you all to know, it was such a huge honor to meet all of you. And if you don’t get a rose tonight, that doesn’t mean that you aren’t amazing. I just have to go with my heart, and I do feel confident in the decisions that I made.”

He picked up the first rose. Took a deep breath. “Josie.”

Josie walked over to him. “Josie, will you accept this rose?” Archie asked.

“How else are we supposed to jam together?” she asked playfully as she accepted his rose, and went back to her spot.

He picked up the second rose. “Ethel.”

Ethel’s eyes widened in disbelief. “I’m shocked. Everyone else is so beautiful.”

“And so are you,” Archie said. “Ethel, will you accept this rose?”

“Of course.”

Archie picked up the third rose. “Melody.”

Melody walked over to him. “Melody, will you accept this rose?”

“I have to, you’re my valentine.”

Archie grinned as he picked up the fourth rose. “Veronica.”

Veronica walked over to him. “Veronica, will you accept this rose?”

“I’d be happy to, Archiekins.”

Archie chuckled, and picked up the fifth rose. “Cheryl.”

She walked over to him. “Cheryl, will you accept this rose?”

“It’s my greatest pleasure to accept this rose.”

Archie laughed as he picked up the sixth rose. “Betty.”

Betty walked over to him. “Betty, will you accept this rose?”

“Absolutely, Arch.”

He blushed. Then took a deep breath. Last rose of the night.

Katherine, Midge, and Ginger were intently watching him pick up the rose.

Archie shut his eyes for a moment. Then he opened them.

“Midge.”

Midge walked over to him. “Midge, will you accept this rose?”

“Thought you’d never ask.”

Chris Harrison entered the room. “Ladies, if you did not get a rose, I’m sorry. Take a moment. Say your goodbyes.”

Ginger walked over to Archie, and gave him a hug. “Good luck with everything.”

He smiled. “Thank you.”

Katherine walked over to Archie. “I’m sorry you don’t see how much a wifey I am. Your loss,” she said, rolling her eyes and exiting the mansion.

Archie laughed. He looked at the remaining women. He raised a glass. “Cheers to a wonderful journey to find true love. I can honestly say, my wife is in this room.”

“Cheers!” the women said in uinison.
