With a mix of playful rivalry and shared fascination, the two girls begin deliberately misplacing their belongings just to keep returning to the box—each hoping to catch another glance. Written by Mike Pellowski and illustrated by Dan DeCarlo, with inks by Mike Esposito and letters by Bill Yoshida, this lighthearted tale captures the small-town charm and classic teen dynamics of the Riverdale crew. The cover, by Pat Kennedy, Tim Kennedy, and Bob Smith, perfectly captures the issue’s playful energy.
In "Merry Mayhem," Betty and Veronica make a hasty retreat after being ambushed by a snowball attack, abandoning their packages in the process. The prankster boys, curious about the address on one of the parcels, end up delivering them to the girls’ home—setting off a chain of unexpected consequences.
Dilton’s birthday falling just before Christmas has him feeling overlooked, so Betty and Veronica team up to throw him a surprise party to lift his spirits. With a little planning and a lot of friendship, they set out to make his day special—though keeping the secret might be trickier than expected.
Josie and Alan are finally out on a date, hoping for a little quiet time together—but their plans quickly unravel when every corner they turn brings them face-to-face with their ever-present circle of friends. Written by a team known for their sharp humor, the story captures the chaotic charm of trying to steal a moment in a world where no space feels truly private.
When Betty’s basketball team struggles with lackluster crowd support, she and her teammates take matters into their own hands—by summoning their boyfriends to the game, with a playful ultimatum that’s equal parts charm and cheek. It’s a lighthearted, funny twist on team spirit, where romance and rivalry collide in the bleachers.
In "The Write-Off," Betty and Veronica take a break from their usual antics to call out recycled plots—then roll up their sleeves and write their own story, turning the page into their playground. With sharp wit and a shared love of a good twist, they craft a tale that’s as much a playful jab at clichés as it is a showcase of their own creative spark.
Betty’s fed up with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and vows to make her own lunch—only to realize she never went to the store. Now stuck with the same old sandwich, she’s left wondering if creativity really starts with a trip to the grocery store.
In the quiet routine of Riverdale High’s new lost and found box, Betty and Veronica find themselves drawn not by forgotten belongings, but by the boy who tends it—his presence sparking a playful game of chance and flirtation. As each visit becomes an excuse to linger, their casual curiosity turns into something far more entertaining.
