Chapter 3

   (New chapter! I hope you guys will enjoy this)!

   Eliza Grace, Sidney, John, and Dewey made their way to a private spot to talk about how the past year has been and also about what was going on. Dewey walked around with a limp now, since he sustained nerve damage on his right side due to being stabbed in the back. He had to leave the police department because of it, which was unfortunate. 

   "Are you ok?" Dewey asked the trio. "I'm fine, Dewey. Or I was. I mean, things were ok until now. But uh, theatre's been going great. I got my first starring role. We open in two days." Sidney explained. "That is great!" Dewey exclaimed. "She's amazing, Dewey! I always tell her that I'm gonna be in the crowd when she wins a Tony or Oscar someday. She's just that good!" Eliza Grace complimented, which resulted in the others laughing.

   "I'm loving it. And I've got some great friends, and uh, I'm seeing someone. Nice guy. Pre-med, no apparent psychotic tendencies." Sidney added with a small chuckle. "That's great! What about you guys?" Dewey asked the couple. "You know I'm always sticking to movies. I've been taking a Film Theory class with Randy and I'm currently studying directing and screenwriting. Been practicing recently." John explained. "By practicing he means constantly filming me and directing every movement I do." Eliza Grace joked, causing Dewey and Sidney to laugh.

   "I'm in theatre too, but I've been mostly focusing my attention on creative writing. I wanna write a novel someday." Eliza Grace revealed. "Any ideas so far?" Dewey asked. "Not really, but something will come to mind." She replied. "I was just worried. Look guys, if there is some freaked out psycho trying to follow in Billy Loomis' footsteps, you probably already know him. Or her. Or them. They're probably already in your life. They get off on that. I just want you guys to be careful." Dewey warned. Sidney stood up momentarily.

   "You think we don't know that, Dewey? But, what are we supposed to do? Just, cut everybody off? Crawl under a rock? What?" Sidney asked. "Just watch out. Keep an eye out. I'm gonna talk to Chief Hartley and the local police. I'm gonna just hang around. I wanna make sure you guys are safe, if that's alright with you." Dewey spoke. "Yeah. I'd be honored." Sidney chuckled. "You already know I want your ass around. Been missing you a lot!" Eliza Grace giggled. John nodded in response. Dewey eventually walked away and the trio reunited with Derek, Mickey, and Hallie. This time Randy was with them.

   "Who was that guy?" Derek asked, looking over at Dewey's direction. "An old friend." Sidney answered. "Deputy Dewey, Woodsboro's finest! What's he doing here?" Randy asked. "He's worried. Our surrogate big brother." Sidney replied. "Yeah. Came here immediately after hearing what happened last night." Eliza Grace added. "Nothing like a funeral to bring a family together. I'm gonna go say hi." Randy spoke, walking away. He wasn't wrong. Families are always brought back together during dark times. 

   "Chief Hartley said the girl was stabbed seven--" Mickey started. "Drop it." Derek interrupted, sparing the Woodsboro survivors from the full details. "Hello Sidney." A voice greeted. "Fuck." Eliza Grace muttered, knowing whose voice it was. The group turned around and faced Gale Weathers. "How are you?" She asked. "Hey. What do you want, Gale?" Sidney asked. "Well, I was hoping I might get just a few words with you." Gale spoke, sounding a little too joyful. "She's not answering any questions right now, Gale. Just drop it." Eliza Grace quickly jumped in. Tatum used to always be the first one to take Sidney away from Gale. So now, it was Eliza Grace's turn to do so, to honor their fallen best friend. "No it's ok, Liz." Sidney muttered.

   Gale moved her cameraman aside to reveal a man walking forward. Cotton Weary. Eliza Grace widened her eyes. She knew he was fully exonerated after Sidney found out Billy and Stu killed her mother, and Eliza Grace didn't fear or despise him at all like she used to. Instead, she was just in shock that he was there. She looked over at Sidney and rubbed her back. John stood next to Sidney protectively. Gale was then given a microphone and the cameraman turned to face them.

   "Here we are at Windsor College, where Sidney Prescott has just been reunited with Cotton Weary for the first time since she wrongly accused him of murdering her mother." Gale began reporting. "What the hell are you doing?" Sidney asked. "We wanna know how you feel. Tell us everything that's happened, looking back on the last two years." Gale continued. Eliza Grace glared at her. "She doesn't have to answer you! You were there, you know what happened! Just leave Sid alone!" She exclaimed. "Sidney, I'd just like to say that I forgive and forget. And just like you, I'd like to get back on with my own life." Cotton jumped in. "Do you have any comments?" Gale asked.  

   "You bitch!" Sidney fumed, about to punch her just like two years ago, but she was held back by Derek. Gale backed away, as she expected it this time around. Derek pulled Sidney away and they were about to leave. "Oh Sidney, share with us, please!" Gale continued. Eliza Grace had enough. She did something Gale did not see coming. Eliza Grace turned and back-slapped the shit out of her, on the opposite side of Gale's face, which was different from two years ago. The force of her slap was so great, it knocked over the bitchy reporter. Cotton was quick to grab her as she fell. "TAKE THAT YOU BITCH!" Eliza Grace yelled, about to go at it again. "Ok, ok, let's go." John said, quickly holding his girlfriend back and walking away, with Derek helping him. 

   "Did you get that on film?" Hallie asked the cameraman. "Yes, I got that on film." He mimicked. The group walked away from Gale, Cotton, and the crowd that had formed. "Damn Eliza Grace! Didn't think you had that in you!" Mickey exclaimed. "Well, I kinda killed a guy two years ago so expect that every so often when someone tries to fuck with y'all." Eliza Grace responded, nonchalantly. It was common knowledge that Eliza Grace killed Stu, but it was still a shock to people whenever she did anything violent, as she was known to be extremely sweet.

   (Eliza Grace smacked the shit out of Gale! 😂 I hope you guys enjoyed this! Stay tuned for more)!
