It's midnight and Cameron started to hum a song in her sleep, it was a song her and Johnny made up when they were kids, Johnny starts to softly sing the words to the somg
Johnny: Small boy, little girl, tiny friends in the great big world.
Reverend Meat: What are you singing?
Johnny; It's just a song Cameron and I made up when we were kids.
Reverend Meat: Really? Tell me about it.
Johnny; We made it up one day at school during recess and we pretty much sang it everyday after that. When our teacher heard us she asked us to sing it infront of the classs after recess. I was suprised how much everyone liked it.
Reverend Meat: Why don't you tell me how the words go.
Johnny: Will you shut up for the rest of the night?
Reverend Meat: Maybe.
Johnny sighs and sings the song
Johnny: Small boy, little girl, tiny friends in the great big world. Helping each other, what friends are for, playground swings and the candy store. Sleepovers, backyard camping, scary stories and laughs to share. Never apart, always there. That's what friends are for.
Revernd Meat: Very nice.
Johnny: It's just a song that we made up as kids.
Reverend Meat; It's a nice song. You know, I don't remember you telling me you had any friends.
Johnny; That's because i didn't tell you.
Reverend Meat; Any reason why?
Johnny; When I left, I pretty much left my past behind.
Reverend Meat: Cameron is pretty much bringing the past back to you.
Johnny; I know.
Reverend Meat: All those painful memories. You don't want to remember those do you?
Johnny; I know what you're doing and it won't work, it was the doughboys' fault I tried to kill Devi, and now you're doing the same thing to get me to kill Cameron.
Reverend Meat; I'm simply trying to make conversation.
Johnny; How many times have I heard that one?
Reverend Meat: It sounds to me like you like Cameron as more than just your best friend.
Johnny hesitates for a moment
Reverend Meat; I knew it.
Johnny: You're crazy. Cameron is just my best friend and nothing more.
Reverend Meat; Then why did you hesitate before answering?
Johnny; I just didn't expect you to say that.
Reverend Meat; Because it's true.
Johnny; Shut up.
Reverend Meat; You can't hide it, so why do you try?
Johnny: I told you to shut up.
Cameron starts to shake and fliches in her sleep
Johnny; Cameron?
Reverend Meat: Looks like she's having a nightmare.
Cameron wakes up screaming
Johnny; Cameron! Cameron clam down, it was just a dream.
Cameron: Johnny?
Johnny: It's okay.
Cameron is still shaking and breaths heavily
Cameron: It seems so real, it almost felt like it was actually happening.
Johnny; What happend?
Cameron; In my dream, you and me were just walking down the street and...
Johnny: And what?
Cameron: You stop me and pull me aside into an alley and said there was somthing you needed to tell me.
Johnny; Then what happend?
Cameron; All you said was "Sorry" and...
Johnny: Cameron, just tell me.
Cameron: You just kill me right there.
Johnny's eyes grow wide and Cameron starts to cry
Cameron; It was so real and I could feel the knife in my chest, I scream from the pain and wake up to find myself really screaming.
Johnny: Cameron...
Cameron: I thought it was actually happening, it was so scary.
Johnny holds Cameron tightly and she cries in his arms
Cameron; I don't want that to really happen.
Johnny: It will never happen Cameron, it was only a dream, it wasn't real.
Cameron; I know, but it's just that...it really scared me.
Johnny: It's alright, just stop crying, okay? It didn't happen, there's no reason to cry.
Cameron: Okay.
Johnny: I know this will sound weird after having that dream, but do you want to go for a walk or some thing?
Cameron; That would be nice.
Johnny; Okay then lets go.
Johnny and Cameron walk out the door
Reverend Meat; Have a good time.
Cameron walks down the street with Johnny and notices the park across the street
Cameron: Hey, lets stop by the park for a while.
Johnny; I don't know...
Cameron; Come on, it will be like old times.
Johnny; Well...
Cameron: Come on, Johnny.
Cameron takes his hand and drags him over to the park and she sits on one of the swings
Cameron; I haven't been to a park in so long.
Johnny; The swings were your favorite place.
Cameron; You were always swinging next to me.
Johnny; Yeah, I know.
Cameron; Come and sit, just like old times.
Johnny sat in the swing next to Cameron and looked at her, she smiled and looked up
Cameron: Full moon tonight.
Johnny: Yeah.
Cameron; Is somthing wrong? You haven't been very talkative since we left the house.
Johnny; It's nothing.
Comeron: Ok, Hey do you remember the song we used to sing?
Johnny; Of course I do.
Cameron; We used to sing it all the time.
Johnny: I remember when our teacher asked us to sing it in front of the class.
Cameron; Yeah, you didn't seem to sure about singing in front of everyone.
Johnny; The whole class liked it.
Cameron; I think it's weird that they liked the song but didn't like us, kinda wacky ,huh?
Johnny flinched but let it go
Cameron; Somthing wrong?
Johnny; No it's just you said a word i'm not to fond of.
Cameron: Which word?
Johnny; Wacky. I just don't really like that word. As a matter of fact, I hate it.
Cameron; Oh, ok. Then I won't say it again.
They talked for a few hours and it was 7:00 AM when they decided to leave
Cameron; That was just like old times.
Johnny: Yeah that was nice.
They spot a group of cheer leaders coming to the park to get an early start on practice
Johnny; Cheerleaders, lets go.
Cameron; Agreed.
Voice: Hey Cameron!
Cameron: Huh?
One of the cheer leaders runs up to them, her name is Summer
Summer: You're Cameron right?
Cameron: Uh, yeah. Do I know you?
Summer: Come on Cameron you know me. It's a suprise I remember you knowing I was only little last time I saw you.
Cameeron; I don't think I.
Summer; It's me, Summer, remember?
Cameron; Summer? You're a cheerleader?
Summer: Yeah, pretty cool huh?
Johnny; More like scary.
Cameron; Um well, it was nice to see you again Summer but we gotta go.
Summer: Why don't you and you're boyfriend stay and watch us practice.
Johnny; Uh...
Cameron: He's not my boyfriend he's just my friend.
Johnny; And we really need to go, right now.
Summer: Ok if you really feel that way.
Summer runs back to the group and they start practicing
Johnny: I hate cheerleaders. They are way too.
Cameron; Cheerful, and annoying, among other things.
Johnny: Exactly.
Cameron: My foster parents tried making me a chherleader.
Johnny: You? A cheer leader?
Cameron; Yeah.
Johnny; Now that's scary.
Cameron; Yeah, they didn't like it when i told them i wasn't going to be a cheerleader. Summer was on the way at the time, so they decided to make Summer thier "Little Cheerleader"
Johnny: Summer is your sister.
Cameron; Yeah. I almost feel sorry for her. She has to be a cheerleader.
Johnny; Almost but not quite.
Cameron; Yeah.
Johnny; You have no idea how much I wanted to just saw all their legs off.
Cameron; As amusing I think that would have been, I'm glad you didn't.
Johnny; Yeah.
Cameron; So what now? You know, I still want to see what's down those stairs.
Johnny; Again about the stairs?
Cameron; Oh, come on Jhonny, please? I really want to know.
Johnny; Alright, but I'll tell you right now, you won't like it.
