Meanwhile, while Sidney and Billy were upstairs, doing what they were doing. Stu, Randy and Mary were downstairs with some other teenagers watching a horror movie. They were watching one of the many horror movies that Randy brought over from the video store. A kill was made on the scream, causing Mary to cringe. Stu looked over at her, and back at the screen, knowing she wasn't scared. 

"The blood's not the right color. Why do they do that? It's too red." Stu looked over at Mary as she said this, and nudged her. He looked at her, and she read his eyes, and shrugged. She's a horror movie buff, nothing to suspect. Randy gets ready for another kill, when Mary makes another remark. "Predictable. Knew he was going to bite it." Stu, who was clearly bored, and amused by Mary's comments spoke up to his friend. "I wanna see Jamie Lee's breasts. When do we see Jamie Lee's breasts." Mary glared at her boyfriend, who just shrugged. He had his hand holding his head, leaning on the back of the couch, with Mary sitting on the couch in front of him. 

"Not until trading places in '83. Jamie Lee was always a virgin in horror movies. She didn't show her tits until she went legit." All the boys in the room groaned, as Mary just chuckled at the immatureness in the room. "That's why she always lived. Only virgins can outsmart the killer in the big chase scene. Don't you know the rules?" Stu finishes his beer, and Mary takes another handful of popcorn and shoves it into her mouth, as she watches her friend pause the movie and stand up. "What rules?" She asks, earning an exasperated look from Stu. She kisses his cheek leaving a stamp from her lipstick on Stu. Stu rubbed his cheek to get the lipstick off, and Mary had a lopsided grin on her, watching him struggle.

"There are certain rules that one must abide by in order to successfully survive a horror movie. For instance. 1, you can never have sex. Sex equals death." The boys groan at this, and Stu and Mary smirk at each other, knowing they broke that rule. "What's the other rules crazy." Randy looks at Mary egging him on, and notices that Stu has his hands on her shoulders. 

"2. Never drink or do drugs. The sin factor, it's an extension to rule number one." Everyone raises a beer to the second rule, and cheers, while Randy tries to get them to calm down. He raises his voice over them "and number 3. Never, ever, ever, under any circumstances say "I'll be right back." cause you won't be back." Stu squeezed Mary's shoulder causing her to look up at him. He winked at her, and she knew where this was going to go. "Stu.." Mary started but Stu shook his head. Her butterflies were back.

"Want another beer?" Stu asked Mary and Randy. Mary shook her head no, while Randy replied sure. "I'll be right back!" Everybody went ohhh while Mary got up, and followed Stu out of the room. She grabbed his arm, stopping him from going to scare Sidney for a second. "What's wrong Mary.." Stu grabbed her arms, and made her look at him. "You aren't thinking of backing out.. are you" Mary shook her head, and leaned against his touch. "No.. I just.. I'm afraid we're gonna get in trouble, or hurt. Sidney isn't stupid Stuey.." Stu grabbed Mary, and pulled her into a tight embrace, while she wrapped her arms around his waist. "We are going to do this and get through it. You are going to bring Bloody Mary out, and she will help us." 

Mary chuckled, and Stu looked down at her in confusion. "You act like her and I are two different people. I'll be her tonight. I just don't want to lose you." Her grip around Stu's waist tightened as he sighed. He wasn't sure how this night would end, but they enjoyed the embrace they had, before Stu got into his costume and went upstairs. Meanwhile, Mary hears the rest of the guys cheering at the tit shot that finally was shown on the television. She sighed, but stopped when she saw Dewey head down the road with Gale, towards her fathers car that was planted in the woods.

-In the bedroom-

Sidney and Billy were both getting dressed, embracing in the post sex awkwardness of a lack of conversation. Sidney brushes her hair, getting knots out when she eyes the phone on the nightstand. She becomes puzzled, and turns around to Billy who sits on the floor, putting on his shoes. "Who did you call?" Billy looked up at her, before looking back down, tying his shoes.

"What?" Sidney adjusted herself on the bed, sitting cross legged. She stutters for a minute before continuing again. "When you're arrested, you're allowed one phone call? Who'd you call?" Billy looks up at her for a minute through his bangs. "I called my dad."

Sidney shook her head, and eyebrows scrunched in confusion. "No, um.. Sheriff Burke called you're dad." Billy looked up, and explained that when he called no one had answered, which wasn't a lie. Stu had made the phone call while he was in jail. Not Billy. "You don't still think it was me?" Sidney quickly changed her tone, hurrying to try and explain before another fight broke out. "No, but if it were you, that would have been a clever way to throw me off track. Using your one phone call, to call me so it proved it wasn't you."

Billy stands up and makes his way over to Sidney, leaning over her on the bed. "What do I have to do, to prove to you that I'm not a killer." Sidney looks into his eyes, and recognizes the eyes from the night of her moms murder. She whispers "oh my god.." and Billy panics, before she looks behind him and screams again. Sidney saw the ghost face immediately, "Billy watch out!"

Stu, who was ghostface, lifts a long steely knife high in the air, as Billy turns around. He strikes the knife down in force, blood spraying on his mask, and on Sidneys face. The knife is thrust in and out of Billy multiple times who tried to put up a fight, but it was useless. His body fell to the floor, lifeless. Stu watches as Billy's body becomes still before quietly, and calmly turning his attention to Sidney, wiping the blood of the knife with his hand.

She stood numb, scared to death. Only when the ghost took a step forward does Sidney break for it, sprinting off, leaping over the bed and out the door. She tears out the door, covered in what was thought to be Billy's blood. Stu catches up to her, grabbing hold of her collar. She pulls away, the back of her shirt ripping in the process.

Her hand finds a door knob and she opens the door, going for it. She enters a room of total darkness, searching for a light switch. Suddenly, the door locks, and the door is trying to be shaken off of its hinges. Suddenly.. silence. Sidney was trembling, breathing heavily, shaking and reaches up above her, finding a string. She pulls it as a lightbulb switches on. She's in a small room, with a staircase. She unlocks the door, not wanting to go up to staircase, but the door wouldn't budge. It was locked from the outside. "Shit.." she turns, going the only other direction she could. Into the attic.
