The doorbell had long been disregarded and the door propped open. There must have been 50 plus people crowded in to the house. Belle and Randy hadn't left their spots on the couch unattended, too afraid somebody else would take them.

If one of them needed something, one of them would stay and the other would get it. They'd been watching whatever was coming on TV for at least and hour. Belle was half-asleep in Randy's arms when Tatum and Sidney arrived.

"Belle! Hey!" Tatum yelled, reaching to give her friend a hug as best she could. Tatum's presence snapped Belle out of her near slumber and re-awoke the drunken giggling from earlier.

"Hi Tatum! Hi Sidney!" She responded.

"Hey Belle, Randy." Sidney greeted, Randy waved and refocused on the TV behind Tatum.

"What're we watching?" Sidney asked, turning to look at the TV as well.

"What ever comes on," Randy shrugged. Suddenly, his eyes went wide and jumped up.

"Where are you going?" Belle yelled after him.

"I'll be back!" He called, running out the door.

When Randy came back, he had a stack of horror movies in his hands along with one copy of Much Ado About Nothing.

"Videos I need to turn back in," He smiled, dropping them on the couch. "Who wants to watch something scary?" He yelled to the group in the living room. Most everyone cheered loudly at the prospect.

"Alright, alright, how many Hellraiser?" He asked. A fair amount of teens raised their hands.

"How many Halloween's?" Randy took the vote. Belle raised her hand for this one, she wasn't a big Hellraiser fan at all. Randy tossed Hellraiser back to the floor and slid Halloween out of its cover.

The doorbell rang and Stu got up to open it, "Hey Tatum, get me another beer, could you?" He called, walking towards the front door.

"What am I, the beer wench?" She scoffed, but walked towards the kitchen anyway.

Belle giggled at her friend and slid over to let Randy back in his spot on the couch.

Halloween had hardly started playing when Stu yelled something that made every boy in the building look towards the door, including Randy and Stu themselves.

"That chick from Inside Story is here!" Stu yelled.

"Gale Weathers?" Randy called turning around to face the door.
