Fright Night Out

Deciding that she needed to take her mind off all the murders and ghost face hoopla, Rita needed some alone time. She had decided to go to the mall. The mall was five hours from closing time but she decided to get in some shopping none the less. Although worried for her aunt, uncle and cousins, she needed a distraction. What better way for a woman to distract herself with some retail therapy? She had brought a cute pair of black low cut heels, a black and red plaid skirt and black and red matching shirt. She also brought herself some cherry lipstick. She's on her way towards the food court when she passes the batting cages. She can hear someone there hitting the ball with loud grunts. She's confused as to who would be there. As far as she knew the baseball season had ended and their high school lost in the playoffs. She decides to go find out.

Scott is in the batting cages taking hacks at the ball. Since the playoffs ended, Scott hasn't been the same. He was the one who made the last out that ended the playoffs for his team. They were down by a run and would've won the game had he come through but he struck out with the bases loaded. He knows most of the kids in school blame him for the loss. Hell he blames himself. But he wasn't in the batting cages due to the loss in the playoffs. He was there to let off steam. He was angered, hurt and depressed. He felt his parents hated him but to make things worse, Rita Weathers hated him as well. He was in love with the girl and couldn't bring himself to tell her. He swung the bat angrily connecting each and every time the ball came his way.

Rita stands there watching Scott take batting practice. She knew he was on the team and remembered how the season ended for their team. She also knew that the kids around school blamed him for the loss. She stood there with her shopping bags in her hands staring at Scott. He wasn't bad to look at. He's cute in his own way. Smart, well he wasn't dumb. Funny and a goof. He was the complete opposite of William. She figured he could be a good decent guy if he stopped with rude and crude remarks. A wave of guilt came over her though. She had said some pretty mean things to him. She made him feel unwanted and suspected that this is how he feels when dealing with his family. She only made it worse. She decided to speak to him.

"Getting an early start to next season?" Rita asked him. Scott had stopped and looked over at her. He was shocked that she was even talking to him.

"Nah. Just letting off some frustration." Scott said waiting as the machine sent another ball his way. Smack was all that was heard. "You talking to me now?" He asked her. Rita didn't say anything. "The last time we spoke you told me I was out of my fucking mind." He said to her. "In fact I'm surprised you're talking to me right now."

"Yeah I know." Rita said to him.

"I thought I repulse you?" Scott asked as he stood there holding a bat. The machine was turned off. He began to put the bat up into the holster near the machine.

"You don't repulse me Scott." Rita told him. Scott looked away like he didn't believe her.

"Yeah right." Scott said to her. They were silent for a second. "Look, Rita I know you don't like me so what are you really doing here?" He asked.

"Other than shopping, I came to see who was in the batting cages and I find you." Rita said to him. "What makes you think I don't like you?" She asked. Scott looked up at her. "It was rhetorical." She could see the sadness in his face. "I felt bad about what I said to you."

"Ok." Scott said.

"How about we go grab something to eat and talk? What do you say?" Rita asked. Scott looked up at her smiling. She smirked herself.

"I knew you liked me." Scott flirted.

"Come on, what do you say? Have dinner with me?" Rita asked him smiling.

"Sure." He said to her smiling. "Here let me take those for you." He said taking her bags from her as they began for the food court. Rita allowed him to carry two of her bags. This was a new side of Scott. The gentlemen she never thought was there has come to life. Maybe there was more to Scott Loomis than met the eye.

After their love making, Robbie and Jill had been famished. Jill was going to cook but then the doorbell rang. Since these murders and ghost face running around, both are on high alert. Robbie grabbed his knife in case it was ghost face making another appearance. He slowly opened the door to find Danielle, Michelle, and Pete standing there. Both breathed a sigh of relief as the trio were let into the house. Robbie made sure to lock the door. Pete asked if they wanted to hang out for the evening. Jill and Robbie had decided that they needed to a night out with their friends. Both had took quick showers and got dressed. Danielle, Michelle and Pete had sat in the living room waiting on Robbie and Jill. Within forty minutes, both were ready to go. Both made sure they had their keys, phones and wallets then left the house locking the door. Pete stopped by Christian's house and picked him up. All six decided to head for the night. They are Pete's car heading into town.

"I'm glad you stopped to get me." Christian said to them. He was sitting beside Danielle who didn't really want him to come out with them.

"No worries man." Pete said to him. The truth was Pete hated it when they fought. He was all about unity. "We gon have a good time right?" He asked.

"If you say so." Danielle said. Christian could sense the animosity towards him.

"Guys listen, I want to apologize for my behavior. I ain't gonna lie, ghost face freaks me out. I felt I was trying to protect my family from that freak. Robbie Jill please forgive me for abandoning you both in your time of need." Christian said to them.

"It's ok Chris. I was never mad at you." Jill said to him rubbing his shoulder. "I understand."

"Yeah man. I'm sorry for getting angry with you. I understand you wanting to protect your family. It's no problem." Robbie said as he and Christian high fived.

"Do you forgive me?" Christian asked his question directed at Danielle who is looking out the window.

"Yeah I guess." She said as Michelle, Jill Robbie and Pete laughed. Christian smiles pulling her into a kiss. Danielle laughs.

"I say fuck ghost face. We gon have some motherfucking fun tonight!" Pete said as they cheered. Jill and Robbie felt good for the first time in a long time. Pete turned on the radio. A rap song they all like came on. All began bouncing to the song.

Dewey and Gale are ready to call it an evening. Gabe and Tommy weren't. They saw Kyle heading into the arcade. Gabe and Tommy begged Dewey to let them stay. Gale and Dewey were reluctant to do so but decided it was still early and they can be guarded by two uniformed officers. Officer Katz and Getz would be was assigned to watch them. Gabe and Tommy nodded when introduced to the two officers. They met up with Kyle in the arcade.

"Kyle what's up man?" Gabe said to him.

"Gabe Tommy, what up bros?" Kyle said smiling high fiving them. "What are you two doing here I thought you were with your parents?"

"We were but we got permission to stay out as long as the two stiffs are watching us." Tommy said pointing to the two uniformed officers in the front standing at the balcony. From where they are they can see Gabe and Tommy with Kyle.

"Yeah." Gabe adds. "It's a bummer."

"Never mind them, let's play some table hockey." Kyle said.

"Cool." Gabe said as the three made their over to the Hockey table where a few other kids can be scene playing.

Sam had been sitting in his officer going over the layout for the newspaper for tomorrow. He hadn't been in better spirits after the conversation he had with Dewey the night before. He had made significant progress with his eldest son. He felt good despite with holding the entire truth from Dewey. It was a start. Dillon knocks on the door.

"Come in." Sam said. Dillon enters the office and closes the door.

"Hey, how does the layout look?" Dillon asked.

"It looks amazing son. Great as usual." Sam said wearing a smile. Something that that hadn't bore his face in a long time. Dillon noticed this.

"What's that on your face?" Dillon asked. Sam doesn't answer but continues to smile. "Oh my god that's a smile."

"Come on Dil." Sam told him.

"No dad I haven't seen you smile like this since mom. What's got you smile." Dillon asked.

"I've made progress." Sam said to him.

"You told Dewey the truth?" Dillon asked smiling.

"Yes and you were right. Telling him the truth made a difference." Sam told him.

"See I told you." Dillon said smiling. "I'm proud of you dad."

"Thanks son." Sam said to him.

"So when do I get to meet my sister in law and nephews?" Dillon asked. He was anxious to get to know the family he learned he had.

"Not so fast. Dewey wants to wait until this investigation is over. Then we can have the reunion that's been a long time coming." Sam told him.

"Ok." Dillon said. "I'm gonna finish up."

"Ok. When you're done, take off." Sam told him.

"You got it." Dillon said he left his father's office closing the door behind him. Dillon's smile disappeared. He went to his desk and continued what he was doing. He was secretly doing research into the Riley family history. He wanted to know everything about the last name he carries and was born into. He had been able to access files from the Woodsboro sheriff station. That wasn't all that came up. He was able to learn about Sidney Prescott and Billy Loomis. He wanted to learn more about the young woman he'd soon call sis. If she allowed him to. He really felt he had a right to know what happened since it was his family that was involved. He already lost a sister he'd never get to know. What would he learn?

Scott and Rita are seated at a table eating gyros with fries. He had held out her chair so she could sit down. Rita was surprised at how gentlemanly he was being. Scott even brought the food for her. Both sat down to eat.

"So Rita, why did you were you acting the way you were with me?" Scott asked her. Rita thought about his question. She then answers him.

"You were acting like a pig Scott." Rita said to him.

"Oh." Scott said clueless.

"Scott, I like you but you're a pig in heat and I can't be with a guy who acts like that." Rita told him. Scott looked at his food nodding. "I understand though."

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"I know why you act like a pig. It's an act and I see right through it." Rita told him.

"You do?" Scott asked her.

"Yep. You act like a pig saying rude and crude things to get people to like you." Rita said to him. "You think it makes you cool but in reality it makes you look worse."

"Way to make me feel better." Scott told her. He already felt like shit. She was making things worse.

"I didn't say this to make you feel better. I'm being honest." Rita told him. Scott nods. Both are silent for a moment.

"I know what people think of me. I know what the other kids in school think of me. I'm not stupid." Scott told her.

"Scott, has it ever occurred to you to just be yourself?" She asked him. "Never mind what other people think of you."

"Never thought anyone would like that side of me." Scott told her.

"I just saw that side of you." Rita told him. Scott looked up at her. "You offered to carry my bags, you paid for the food and brought it to me at the table and you let me eat first. Those are things that gentlemen do for ladies and I consider myself a lady." Scott smiles. "I like seeing you like this. It's sexy."

"Really?" Scott asked her smiling.

"Yeah." Rita said as the two giggled.

"Rita, I'm sorry for being such a dick to you." Scott told her.

"It's ok. I forgive you." Rita said as they smile at each other again.

"Do you really like me?" Scott asked her. He wasn't sure if she was saying this to make him feel better or if she truly liked him.

"I really do like you." Rita told him. Scott gently touches her hand. "I didn't mean what I said about your parents not liking you. I was annoyed with you."

"Well, some of what you said holds some truth to it." Scott told her.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"The reason I came by your house was because I got into an argument with my mom." Scott told her. Rita watched him. "She said that I wasn't worth worrying about." Rita really felt bad for him. She only said what she said to hurt his feelings. She had no idea that she was right about her assumptions.

"Your mom didn't mean what she said to you. She was annoyed with you. That doesn't mean she hates you." Rita told him.

"That doesn't mean she loves me either." Scott told her. He felt like crap. Rita rubbed his hand.

"It's gonna be ok. You should talk to her. Tell her how you feel. You'd be surprised." Rita said rubbing his hand. Scott smiled. She was right. All he needed was to talk to his mother. "You're always welcomed at the Riley house."

"Thanks." Scott said. He thought about Ryan's party and thought came to him. "Hey uh Rita."

"Yes Scott." Rita said to him.

"Would you go with me to Ryan's party?" Scott asked her. Rita looked a little annoyed. Scott saw this. "I feel like dancing and partying. Come with me?"

"Oh fuck it. Let's go." Rita said as they finished eating and got up to leave the mall. Scott takes Rita's bags again and her hand. Rita willingly accepts.

"This is it." Chelsea said as she and William walk into the front door of her family's home.

"It's beautiful." William said looking around.

"Thanks." Chelsea said as they enter they remove their jackets. Chelsea's home is a modest looking two story home. To the left is the living room. To the right is the kitchen. Both took off their jackets and put it on the couch in the living room.

"Like the flat screen." William said to her. "Your dad's?" He asked.

"Yeah. My dad loves his sports and likes to watch them on the flat screen." Chelsea told him.

"Mine to." William said.

"Do you want something to drink?" Chelsea asked.

"Sure." He said as they walked into the kitchen. "I want to apologize to you Will."

"Why?" He asked confused.

"Well, I keep bringing up what took place six years ago. I know it's something you don't like talking about it." Chelsea said as she pored two cups of Pepsi.

"No you're right. I should talk about it. I'll tell you." He said to her. Chelsea stood there waiting on him to talk. "I had to commit murder." He said to her playing with the cup of soda with his fingers. "The trip started out fun. I was glad my grandparents were out of the state because it met my brother and I would travel with our parents. We got to see six cities in a matter of three weeks. It was amazing." William said smiling. Chelsea smiled at him. His smile faded though. "I was dreading the visit to Woodsboro. I knew my parents' history in that town and didn't want to be there. From the start I could tell something bad was going to happen. The town had an eerie feeling to it. We get there and I see my aunts Gale and Tatum. My uncle Dewey shows up. For a split second I was happy to see them. Then we learned that two girls were murdered and blood was found in the trunk of our rental along with a knife and a phone. Not long after one other girl was murdered in her bedroom that night. My parents went to try and help her but it was too late. I remember being so scared. Scott was brave. He took me to the back room at my Aunt Kate's place. We hid there until it was over." William said.

"You must've been so worried about your parents." Chelsea said to him.

"Yeah I was. While there I got to meet my grandparents on my mother's side. They're buried in a cemetery in Woodsboro. That same night my aunt Tatum was murdered. We were distraught. My cousin Tommy was there and witnessed his mother murdered. He got injured as a result." William said.

"Oh my god. Poor Tommy." Chelsea said feeling bad for the young teen.

"Then the killer came after my parents. My brother, Gabe, Tommy and I were out with my dad for the evening. We learned that the killer tried to kill my aunt Gale. He stabbed her in the shoulder." William said. Chelsea listened. "We were heading back to aunt Kate's when we heard on the radio that aunt Gale was stabbed. I told my dad to call mom. Scott called her but got her cell. We ended up at the hospital checking on aunt Gale. Dad learned that mom and Aunt Kate were attacked. Aunt Kate was killed. Mom went to look for aunt Jill. It was there that mom, Aunt Jill and her friends were attacked. Mom was stabbed in the stomach and almost died. Aunt Jill was injured." William frowned as he tells the story. Chelsea listened carefully. "Jill's boyfriend Robbie was also stabbed but survived. One of the killers was found dead. His name was Trevor Sheldon. The other killer was a man name Ross Hoss. My dad confronted him at the house before he got away. Mom was brought into the hospital with Jill and Robbie. Jill and Robbie would survive but mom was knocked out. Her injuries more severe. I snuck out of the room aunt Gale was in to see my mom. It was then that I was confronted by Ross Hoss. He told me that he was my uncle. My father's brother. Ross was pointing a gun at my mother. I stood in front of her to keep him from shooting her."

"You were willing to put your life at risk?" Chelsea asked. William nods.

"I wasn't going to allow him to kill her. Ross was about to shoot me when my dad came out of nowhere, came at Ross like a superhero and knocked him down. Two shots were fired one hitting uncle Dewey and the other hitting deputy Hicks. Both were down. Ross had already knocked out deputy Perkins. The gun was knocked out of his hands by my dad and fell towards me. Ross had gotten the upper hand and was choking my father. My dad was turning pink, then red. I picked up the gun pulled the glock back." William said as the tears pore down his face. "He told me dad to say goodbye. I said good bye Ross and pulled the trigger. Ross's body slumped to the floor. He was dead. If I hadn't shot him, he would've killed my father, he would've killed my mother, my uncle aunt, my brother, Jill Robbie. Hell he might have killed the deputies." William said.

"He could've killed you to." Chelsea said sympathetically. She felt for him. William wiped the tears from his face. Chelsea moved around the counter to stand in front of him. "You did what you had to do Will. No one blames you." She said to him rubbing his shoulders.

"Why do I feel guilty?" William asked.

"Because you didn't want to do it but had no other alternative." Chelsea said to him. She thought for a moment. "Did you think I would think less of you because of this?" She asked. William nods. Chelsea leans in and kisses William's lips. William was shocked by the kiss. "Will, I like you a lot. You are the most caring most respectful person I've ever met. It also helps that you're hot." She said. Both chuckled. She wiped the tears away from his face. "I don't blame for what you had to do. Hell if it were me, I'd do it to. Stop blaming yourself."

"I wish it were that easy." William said to her.

"It is. Look at it this way, how many people did Ross have to kill before he himself was killed?" Chelsea asked. William thought about that. Ross didn't hesitate to kill to get what he wanted. William killed him out of sheer self-defense. William sighs realizing what Chelsea said was true. He only killed one person while Ross killed like five or four people. He was responsible for Tatum's death. "Hey, you ok?" She asked him.

"Yeah I'm fine." William said smiling. Both leaned in for another kiss.

After a quick sex session with Angela, Ryan had continued setting up the place for his party. Angela stayed to help him. Rick showed up to help as well. The music was playing loud as the guess began to file in. Kids from the football team to the basketball team showed up. Everyone was allowed to show up to the party. Ryan didn't discriminate. For a teen whose father was always away didn't care who came by. He hated being alone.

"Wow the party is jumping." Angela said holding a bottle of beer.

"I'll say." Rick said.

"You two having a good time?" Ryan asked smiling.

"Yeah. This place is cool." Rick said smiling.

"Thanks man." Ryan said.

"Hey can you save me a dance?" Angela asked.

"You got it babe." Ryan told her. The doorbell rings. "Hold on. Gotta get this." He said running to the door. He opened the door and in steps Hilary, Corey and Norma. "Hey guys you made it." Ryan smiled. Norma looked annoyed.

"Yeah we're hear so pass the liquor." Hilary said.

"To your left." Ryan said as Norma, Corey and Hilary headed straight for the kegs and trays filled with bottles of beer. Ryan's about to close the front door when Conner shows up. "Conner, what's up?"

"Nothing much. Heard there was a party and thought I'd check it out." Conner said smiling.

"Cool come in." Ryan said. He smiled realizing his party is in full swing. It was time for him to become the life of the party.
