Benny was having yet another sleeover at Ethan's house. They had decided to watch a scary movie. Ethan's parents were a bit worried about two little kids watching a scary movie, but had watched it earlier and decided that it was fine and suitable for their age group so long as they were mature about it.

They popped popcorn and had their bowls of candy and cups of soda ready. Ethan inserted the DVD and they settled on the couch, getting comfortable. The advertisements for other movies rolled and the movie started.

It wasn't scary at first, just a woman walking through the woods, hearing an unnaturally loud noise that couldn't possibly be the snapping of a twig under her foot. She looked around, frightened, her blonde hair sswinging as she did so.

"Is anyone there?" The blonde asked to the air. She had seemingly asked the worse question possible, which was also the most cliche horror movie question ever. A dark figure came out from behind a twisted oak tree. He darted out from his standing position and put his hand over her mouth, muffling her screams, to the public, but not to the viewer. Benny clutched Ethan and hid his head in Ethan's shoulder when parts would get a bit more graphic. Benny shook with fear, and screamed when the movie revealed that the man was the woman's own husband, and that he had earlier killed his daughter, Sandra. He pulled out a knife, with a twisted grin upon his face. Benny clutched Ethan, who was unmoved by the recent show of events on the television. He held tight to Ethan, hiding his head in his chest and holding onto him for dear life, obviously terrified by what would happen next. Ethan, honestly, didn't mind the contact, and wrapped his arms around Benny's waist to comfort him. He turned off the movie, and kissed Benny on the top of the head.

"It's okay, Benny. It was only a movie." Benny looked up, glad to see the lights on and the movie off.

"I'm still scared. What if that man comes here? What if-" He was silenced by a finger on his lips and a gentle shushing from Ethan.

"Benny, that man won't come here, I promise. Okay? If anything happens, I'll make sure you're safe. Now, let's go to sleep, alright?" They shared the bed, because they both fit and Ethan knew Benny wouldn't be able to sleep by himself after watching that movie. They snuggled, getting comfortable. Benny fell asleep quickly, but was having nightmares, and would clutch tightly onto Ethan while he tried to console Benny and get him to calm down. Tears would roll down Benny's cheeks and he would thrash slightly and then hold tight to Ethan, as if he felt so much safer when he was holding on to Ethan. They awoke together early in the morning to a thump. Expecting the worst, Benny rose and looked outside the window. He peered down and saw..

"Rory!" He looked down in amazement at the blonde who was rubbing his head as if he had hit it..

"Oh, hey, Dudes. I was just, uh...dropping in."

"You know there's always the door, right? And that it's six in the morning?"

"Oh, well the door was locked, and I didn't want to wake up your parents, so I tried ninja jumping through the window, but I fell. I couldn't sleep. I was watching a marathon of Star Wars movies and I got super pumped and rushed down here to tell you something."

"Well, what was it?"

"...I forgot.." There was collective facepalm in the room when he said that. "So, um, can I come in?" Ethan answered.

"Yeah, through the door."

"Aww, I really wanted to ninja jump through the window."

"Too bad, Rory." Rory mumbled and walked over to the side of the house where was the front door was.
