Andy Barclay approached the bar and looked at the neon sign on the window. The window kept flashing the words Survivor's Bar in big bold letters. Smiling to himself, Andy opened the door, and was instantly greeted by the bartender, an older man wearing a blue shirt, and had a prosthetic right hand.
"Hello, Andy." the bartender smirked. "Same thing?"
"You bet, Ash." Andy smiled back. "One Blady's, still in the bottle."
"You got it." Ash Williams replied, and pulled out a bottle from under the bar. "Your friends are waiting for you." Ash pointed to the far side of the bar, where Laurie Strode, Tommy Jarvis, and Nancy Thompson sat, already drinking their beers.
"Thanks." Andy grabbed his bottle and sat down with everyone else, where they were already deep in conversation.
"How've you been, Barclay?" Tommy asked, grinning as Andy sat own. "I heard you got a remake."
"Yeah." Andy groaned. "I honestly didn't think it'd happen."
"Then how did it?" Laurie asked, looking up from her liquor.
"Well, it turns out there was a legal loophole about having rights to the first outing, but not any of the sequels." Andy explained. "So, if this remake gets a sequel, it can't do what the series has already done."
"And, you're upset." Nancy noted.
"Of course I'm upset." Andy grumbled. "Why would they do this? I still have to save Nica from being possessed by Chucky. I have a show coming out next year, dammit!"
"I doubt it'll last long." Ash chuckled, as he was using a rag to clean the inside of a mug. "I once had a show, then it got canned after three seasons."
"Shut up, Williams!" Laurie commanded. "You didn't even appear in your remake. You got replaced by a few younger guys!"
"That's not true, I cameoed after the credits!" Ash argued. "And at least I didn't turn into some crazy slut, unlike you when Rob Zombie got ahold of you!"
"Jesus, enough!" Tommy piped up. "None of us have a perfect track record. Laurie went nuts in her remakes, while Ash barely showed up. Hell, I wasn't even in my remake."
"True." Nancy added. "I don't think they changed too much with mine though. Except my name."
"You forgot they changed your friends names, and made Krueger a pedophile." Ash mumbled. Nancy quickly shot Williams a glare, which he shrugged off, but remained silent.
"So what's up with yours?" Tommy asked Andy.
"Well, to start, Chucky's a robot toy now." Barclay began. "I'm deaf, I have a couple friends, and my mom acts like a babysitter in the remake."
"But, the doll is voiced by Luke Skywalker." Jarvis reasoned. "That's a huge plus, especially since no one connected to your original series is involved.
"Yeah, I guess so." Andy groaned, staring at his bottle.
"Look, our point is, we all have spotty remakes." Nancy told Barclay. "We're not perfect. The best we can do is accept it for what it is, and move on. And hey, we still have the originals."
"I'll drink to that." Andy smiled, holding up his bottle in a toast. "To the originals!" The other survivors grinned, holding up their drinks and repeating the phrase.
"TO THE ORIGINALS!"
