Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica
Betty Cooper; Veronica Lodge; Archie Andrews; Jughead Jones
Veronica spends $150 for a tie-clip for Archie to celebrate the anniversary of the day they met. Betty changes the price to $1.50 to see if Archie is a gold-digger. Archie is unhappy with the gift, but not because of the cost. He's upset for another reason, which in retrospect seems obvious.

Days after a major fight, Veronica is upset that Archie hasn't called to apologize. She calls him to complain, but ends up accepting his apology instead.
