Betty and Veronica Spectacular #26

In "Grand Entrance," Veronica hatches a dramatic plan to steal the spotlight at the school dance, determined to outshine Betty after her friend receives all the praise for the gym decorations. But when Betty suddenly falls ill and can't attend, Veronica’s elaborate entrance takes on a whole new meaning—though just how it unfolds remains a surprise.

Veronica faces a classroom assignment that puts her in an unexpected spot: she’s the only one who can bring someone in, and the only young person she’s ever influenced is her cousin Leroy. With her usual flair and a hint of panic, she tries to pull off the assignment—no easy feat when the kid in question is more trouble than she ever expected.

In "All Washed Up," Veronica’s bold plan to fund the football team backfires when she and Betty are both auctioned off for car-washing duty—only Betty ends up doing most of the work. The story captures the usual mix of rivalry and reluctant teamwork between the two rivals, all under the sun-drenched pressure of a sticky summer day.
