INT. REED RESIDENCE - KIRBY'S BEDROOM - CONT'D

Sidney and Kirby sit on Kirby's bed. Sidney looks at Kirby
with conern for her well-being. Kirby just stares forward.

SIDNEY
(sighs)
How long you been taking anti-psychotics?

Kirby takes a moment before responding.

KIRBY
... A few months. (beat) But only here recently
I've had to take them.

SIDNEY
You're not crazy Kirby. Don't you dare think that.

KIRBY
(slightly chuckling)
Oh no, I'm crazy. I was crazy way before any of this.

SIDNEY
(slightly chuckling)
You know what I mean.

Kirby looks around her room.

KIRBY
I don't know. I thought I had it under control. Then
all of this shit happens and I lose it.

SIDNEY
It's post traumatic stress?

KIRBY
I guess. I don't know.

SIDNEY
It occurs after someone has endured something.. Well
traumatic. It does go away., but anything can trigger it.
Something like this for instance.

KIRBY
So I am crazy?

SIDNEY
No, just...

Kirby cuts Sidney off, finishing her sentence.

KIRBY
... Damaged. Broken.

SIDNEY
You're strong Kirby. And this guy or whoever they
are, knows it too. You're what scares the hell out of
them.

Kirby rubs her hands together, then looks up at Sidney.

KIRBY
(chuckles)
And what's that?

SIDNEY
(smiling)
A survivor.

KIRBY
(slightly chuckling)
Yeah, true. Got the scars to prove it.
(puts her hand over her stomach)

SIDNEY
You just gotta beat him at his own game.

KIRBY
Well, in a way I kinda did and didn't at the
same time.

SIDNEY
You were cheated. They're just too scared to
admit defeat.

KIRBY
Yeah, no kidding.

Sidney wraps her arm around Kirby and squeezes
her, pulling her.

SIDNEY
(smiling)
But us survivors gotta stick together and do
what we do best.

KIRBY
(slightly chuckling)
And what might that be?

SIDNEY
Survive girl. Beat this guy at his own game
and show him that you're not scared of him.
Then right there, he's already lost.

KIRBY
(chuckling)
I wish it was that easy.

SIDNEY
Oh God, me too.

Sidney and Kirby both laugh.

A short silence sets in. Kirby and Sidney are walking
back downstairs to the living room.

INT. REED RESIDENCE - LIVING ROOM - CONT'D

KIRBY
Hey, where did my mom and Nathan go?

SIDNEY
Oh, your mom got called in to go to work.

KIRBY
Work this late?

SIDNEY
(shrugs her shoulders)
Short handed on the night shift, maybe.

KIRBY
What about Nathan?

SIDNEY
He offered to drive her just in case you guys needed
the car.

KIRBY
Oh okay.

SIDNEY
Yeah, he said he'll be back in a little bit.

A knock on the door is heard, followed by a few more.

KIRBY
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

SIDNEY
But why would he knock on the door of his own home?

KIRBY
(points to Sidney)
Good point.

Kirby and Sidney cautiously make their way through
the foyer to the front door.

INT. REED RESIDENCE - FOYER - CONT'D

Kirby unlocks and slowly opens the door, revealing...
Lisa. Just checking on Kirby and making sure everything
is okay.

LISA
Hey, sorry for bothering you guys. Just checking up
on everything.

KIRBY
No, it's fine. You're just doing your job.

LISA
(slightly smiles)
Well, trying to anyway.

SIDNEY
Well, I think I'm gonna take off. It's getting
pretty late.

KIRBY
Yeah.

Sidney walks passed Lisa.

SIDNEY
If you ever need anything at all Kirby, just
give me a call.

KIRBY
Will do. Goodnight.

SIDNEY
Night.

Sidney walks across the yard and across the street,
towards her car.

Lisa looks back at Sidney.

LISA
Sidney's a good influence to have around.

KIRBY
That I can agree with. She's definitely been there
for me even when I didn't think I needed it.

LISA
That's what true friends do.

KIRBY
Yeah. So how do you and Nathan know each other?

LISA
Oh, we used to go to school together. We were pretty close
up until he left.

KIRBY
I see. Well, it's never too late you know.

Lisa and Kirby laugh.

LISA
(laughs)
That was a long time ago.

KIRBY
(chuckles)
So?

LISA
(laughs)
Well, if you need anything, you know where I'll be.

Kirby laughs.

KIRBY
(chuckling)
Yeah, I'm about to hit the shower. Been a long ass day.

LISA
(chuckling)
I hear that. Well goodnight.

KIRBY
Night.

EXT. REED RESIDENCE - CONT'D

Sidney opens her car door and enters, closing the door. Just
as she she puts the key in the ignition to fire it up- A ringing
emits, startling Sidney. The ringing is coming from the glove
compartment. But it's not Sidney's phone.

Sidney opens the glove compartment and digs around until
she finds the phone. She pulls it out and the sees the screen
lit up with the caller ID reading, "JOSH".

Sidney has a look of disgust on her face. She waits a second
then swipes the screen to answer the call.

SIDNEY
What?

The menacing voice of Ghostface is heard.

GHOSTFACE(O.S.)
Oh, poor Sidney, you really are a mess.
Trying to be the big sister you never had.

SIDNEY
What do you want?

GHOSTFACE(O.S.)
A lot of people want things. Some that they
can't have. Yet anyway, that is. (beat) What did you
think of my little message? I think it caught Kirby's
attention for sure.

SIDNEY
Leave her alone. If you want someone, come after me.
That is what you want anyway, isn't it?

GHOSTFACE(O.S.)
(laughs)
Do you ever think of anyone other than yourself? You think
it's still all about you? (beat) I finally realized why they keep
you alive. You drown yourself in your own self pity. A fate itself
worse than death.

SIDNEY
What are you talking about?

GHOSTFACE(O.S.)
Don't worry, you still have a part in this little, movie. Everyone does.
In fact, it's about to be showtime.

SIDNEY
What do you mean?

GHOSTFACE(O.S.)
Didn't you hear? It's time to kill off a new fan favorite. Too bad
she's oblivious to realize that new survivors don't get to make it
through the sequel.

Sidney's eyes widen.

SIDNEY
Don't.

GHOSTFACE(O.S.)
Poor Judy. She walked in your shadow for years and you
never even noticed. I bet you'll notice her now. At her funeral
anyways.
(laughs menacingly)

Sidney throws the phone down, taking hers out as she fires up
her car and takes off fast, flooring it. She scrolls through her
contacts and call Dewey. It rings three times before he picks
up.

DEWEY(O.S.)
Hello?

SIDNEY
Dewey, the killer just called. He's going after Judy.

DEWEY
What?! Why?

SIDNEY
I don't know, but I'm on my way there now.
I hope it's not too late.

DEWEY
Oh shit...

SIDNEY
What?!

DEWEY
Gale's there too.

SIDNEY
Shit. I'll be there in like fifteen minutes

DEWEY
I'm on my way.

SIDNEY
Okay.

Sidney hangs up and throws her phone on the
passenger seat, then grips the steering wheel with
both hands, tight. Her car goes airborne as she
ramps a hill in the road at about seventy-five mph.

[CUT TO]

REEDS RESIDENCE - BATHROOM - CONT'D

Kirby is in the shower, washing her hair. Her phone,
sitting on the counter next to the sink, vibrates, as her
battery is about to die. She hasn't been able to charge it
all day.

[CUT TO]

EXT. REED RESIDENCE - CONT'D

Lisa receives a dispatch call through her police radio, telling
all units to report to "519 Cherry Oak Ave." Lisa hesitates but
does as she is told. First, she tries calling Kirby to let her know.
It rings literally once, then goes straight to voicemail. "Hey it's
Kirby, sorry I couldn't get to the phone, but if you leave a
message, I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

LISA
Hey Kirby, it's Lisa. I gotta leave for a little bit, but I'll be back
as soon as I can. Bye.

Lisa hangs the phone up then fires her cruiser up and takes
off down the road.

[CUT TO]

INT. REED RESIDENCE - BATHROOM - CONT'D

Kirby is out of the shower, wearing a white tank top and
pink pajama pants, also drying her hair off with a brown towel.
She picks her phone up off the bathroom counter and realizes
that it's dead.

KIRBY
You've gotta be shitting me?!

Kirby storms out of the bathroom, down stairs to see if
anyone is back yet. It's very quiet and little does Kirby
know that she's all alone now. Just then- The landline
phone begins to ring, startling Kirby.

KIRBY(CONT'D)
Shit. I forgot we had that thing.

Kirby walks over to the ringing phone, on the table next
to the couch. She picks it up off the receiver and
answers it.

KIRBY
Reed Residence.

The menacing voice of Ghostface is heard,

GHOSTFACE(O.S.)
What's wrong Kirby, can't keep your phone charged?
(laughs menacingly)

Kirby's eyes widen.

KIRBY
(mumbles to herself)
Shit.

Kirby is now on her guard, looking all around her.

GHOSTFACE(O.S.)
Could you believe that the one's who claim to be
your friends would just abandon you like this?

KIRBY
What do you mean?

GHOSTFACE(O.S.)
Oh, how easily it was to get you alone. All it took was a
phone call for mommy and a little manipulation for
Sidney. Then it all just came together as planned.

KIRBY
What do you want?

GHOSTFACE(O.S.)
I already have what I want. It's just you and me
now. And now it's your turn to play victim.
(laughs menacingly)

Kirby's eyes widen in sheer terror. as Ghostface's
menacing laughter echoes through the phone's
speaker. This is it, Ghostface vs. Kirby. Whether
she's ready for it or not.
