"IT'S LITERALLY like sam set me up by bringing me with her. i'm so fucking annoyed." kaya quietly spoke to ethan who was listening closely to her words.

"kaya, i'm sure sam didn't mean for that to happen, obviously. ghostface is really random, you know. that was just a coincidence." ethan comforted his girlfriend, as they sat down on the bench.

"yeah, i guess."

"okay nerds, listen up!" mindy clapped, gaining the talkative group's attention as she stood up, ready to speak. "as terrifying as this all is, i'm actually glad i get a chance to redeem myself, for not," she breathed in uncomfortably, pulling down her shirt. "calling the killers last time." kaya's straight face turned to a puzzled one, as she looked around, confused why no one else looked the same.

"mhm."

"it's fine," mindy said, preparing herself for her improvised speech. "okay, the way i see it, someone is out to make a sequel to the requel."

"um, what's a requel?" anika asked her girlfriend, who smiled sweetly at her before answering.

"you're beautiful sweetie, lets hold questions to the end."

anika smiled back, the smile fading slightly as she looked down.

"stab one took place in woodsboro," sam added, looking at kayana, then mindy.

"stab two took place in college." kaya finished, nodding her head.

tara also nodded, looking between the three who had spoken something. "so do we think that the killer is trying to copy the movies?" 

"that is one possibility. heroes now in college: check! suspicious new characters brought in to round out the suspect list and/or body count: check, check and check!" mindy explained, kaya looking between quinn, anika and lastly ethan who were the suspicious new characters.

"i don't like this." ethan mumbled, looking down.

"yeah, of course." kaya sighed, leaning her head on his shoulder.

"but it can't just be about stab two." the horror nerd started once again, attending to tara who had a question.

"why not?"

"it would make sense, if this were just a sequel. but we're not in a sequel, because nobody just makes sequels anymore!" mindy continued, while everyone looked at each other awkwardly as silence drowned the group. "we're in a franchise!"

"yay?" kaya sarcastically cheered, getting an amused reaction from quinn and anika.

mindy gave her a look before continuing with her speech. "and there are certain rules to a continuing franchise."

everyone groaned tiredly, looking bored, yet mindy still didn't care.

"i had a feeling."

"wow, figures."

mindy enthusiastically spread her hands out, "rule one. everything is bigger than last time. bigger budget, bigger cast, bigger body count. longer chases, shoot-outs, beheadings." both kaya and tara looked up in confusion. "you gotta top what came before to keep people coming back."

"are we in a movie or something?" kaya asked sarcastically.

"beheadings?" chad asked, looking up from his notepad, pointing with a pencil.
