Recap: "Simon, it's a movie, we'll watch it after all of this is over. It's a horror movie specifically, I'm sure you'll like it." I explained to Simon.

I was with my mom and Deena. My mom was standing in front of the spreading tree in the mall. She shuts her eyes. Deena stands beside us.

"This is it." Deena said with a sad expression on her face.

"Yep." My mom said. She walks away as Deena stares up at the tree. Throughout the mall, red spray-painted letters spell out the nursery rhyme about Sarah Fier.

At the pizza place.

Deena and I kneel on the floor near Sam. Deena aimed a bottle of CK1 at herself, she hands me the CK1, i then sprayed myself with it.

"Deena? I wanted to see if you wanted one of these, uh... headlamps. I know it looks pretty dumb but..." Josh asked Deena

"It's perfect." Deena said while taking the head lamp

"Up, up... down, down... left, right, left, right, B, A, start." Josh recited

"What?" Deena said.

"It's the Konami code. It's what you need, it's what we all need." Josh said. I swear to god if Simon were here he'd probably be laughing at Josh right now, but Simon is with Martin and my mom.

"I have no idea what—" Deena said while getting cut off by Josh.

"It's the ultimate secret code. Super contra, castlevania, Teenage mutant... it's a code for extra lives. When thing get bad at school or whatever, it's... it's what I think about, and it helps me... I don't know, to survive." Josh explained. Deena wraps her arms around Josh.

"You are the biggest nerd." Deena said while hugging Josh.

"You smell like an androgynous baby." He told her while hugging her.

In the center of the mall.

"Everyone says Shadyside sucks because it's full of shitty people, that bad things happen because we're bad, that we deserve what we have coming. That's how it was for Sarah, and that's how it's been for us. But it's all bullshit. Okay, just because we're weird, and smart, and different, doesn't mean that they can feed us through their meat grinder—" Deena said while getting cut off by me

"You mean bread slicer?" I said while cutting her off

"You bitch. Anyway, not anymore, it's been three centuries. No one else has gotten this far. It stops here... tonight. It stops with us. We're gonna kill the shit out of this motherfucker. For Sarah, for Kate, for Cindy. For all of us. For Shadyside." Deena said. Deena takes a small pause.

"Now let's do this." Deena said. Deena and I hold our right hands out over a bucket of water and slowly draw a knife over the crease of our palms. We clench our fists, and blood drips into the bucket. We all got up and got our supplies. Deena, Simon and I spray painted the floor. Martin moves a spay-paint can over the wall, leaving, no marks. Martin duct-tapes light fixtures to a pillar and sets a black light tube in one of them. Deena screws in another black light bulb. My mom squirts fluorescent liquid into the bucket of watered-down blood. The supplies disappeared as we used them. We fumbled the greenish bloody water into the water gun tanks. Josh uses a water gun to Spry a trail of the greenish liquid along the tiled floor. Leading into the center of the mall. He dashes over to Deena and I. Deena hits a switch on a surge protector.
