Getting a lift off of Dewey to the supermarket to pick up food for Stu's party, they looked out the windows and they could see everywhere closing early for the new curfew set in place.

"Sure is quiet", Dewey told the three as they got out of the car, walking towards the entry of the shop.

"God, look at this place", Sidney spoke looking around, no one being outside. "It's the Town That Dreaded Sundown."

"Yeah, I saw that movie. It's about a killer in Texas, huh?", Dewey questioned as he couldn't particularly remember the movie.

"Personally, I didn't think it was all that great", Marlene said, an unlit cigarette between her lips.

She tried to light it but her lighter merely sparked. She shook it aggressively and tried again, but again, it wouldn't work.

"Lovely", she said sarcastically, pulling the cigarette from between her lips and placing it behind her ear and putting her empty lighter back into her pocket. "It's out."

Sidney only hummed seeming to be spaced out a bit as she looked around the ghost town.

"Hey, Sid, just think, if they make a movie about you, who's gonna play you?", Tatum asked, trying to brighten the mood.

"I shudder to think", it was like Sidney was trying to be sarcastic but her tone didn't leak sarcasm.

"I see you as a young Meg Ryan, myself", Dewey said as he studied her face.

"Thanks, Dewey. With my luck, they'd cast Tori Spelling", Sidney then walked off to get into the shop before it closed, Tatum and Marlene following.

"I'm just gonna be a few minutes", Dewey called to them. "You girls don't go too far."

"Is Billy gonna be there tonight?", Sidney asked the girls worried.

"He'd better not be, I told Stu to keep his mouth and Matilda's shut", Tatum told her the same time Marlene said "he better be". Tatum threw her a look before continuing. "I think we can live without the endorphin rush for one night."

Going in, they grabbed a shopping cart and started filling it with pure junk food, throwing in whatever seemed nice.

"Billy's right, you know. Whenever he touches me, I just can't relax", Sidney informed the two girls as she pushed the cart.

Marlene rolled her eyes, not wanting to hear about Sidney's depressing relationship with her ex boyfriend.

"So, you have a few intimacy issues as a result of your mothers untimely death", Tatum held her arms out wide. "It's no big deal, Sid. You'll thaw out."

"Or continue to freeze", Marlene drawled, checking to see if the salsa dip was mild or spicy before shrugging and throwing it into the cart too.

Sidney stopped in front of the freezer and opened it, pulling out a few tubs of ice cream and boxes of ice pops, them landing in the cart.

"Yeah, but he has been so patient with me, you know, with all the sex stuff", Sidney told them as she picked out another box and looked it over. "How many guys would put up with a girlfriend who's sexually anorexic?"

Marlene raised her eyebrows at this, almost laughing at the fraise Sidney just used.

"What was it like when you guys were dating?", Sidney asked Marlene after a short pause. "Was he-?"

"Yes, Billy was and is a gentleman", Marlene cut her off, opening a bag of spicy chips as she absent mindedly browsed the shelves for snacks. "And neither of us are sexually anorexic, like yourself."

She walked ahead of the girls, her pointer finger tracing along the shelves as she kept walking.

"Billy and his penis don't deserve you, all right?", Tatum spoke as the exited the freezer section and followed after Marlene who had picked up about three bags of sour worms, two bags of lolipops and three boxes of cigarettes.

She returned back to the girls, throwing anything she picked up into the cart.

It's a surprise how yet again they didn't see ghostface watching them from an isle, his reflection reflecting from the glass door of the freezers.
