Chapter 2

With the plan to start up their sequel, Billy and Stu first needed to find out where Sid went. He imagined they were still around. None of them seemed like the type to move to New York. The only people who did were dead. So Sid's probably in college or something, Somewhat local, but not close close.

With this movie being a success, as much as it hurts both of them, it does mean her life is an open book. Which is wonderful. It takes only a few old newspapers and magazines to figure out the basic stuff she's been up to. She did some interviews about the situation, with very minimal publicity about the movie, which made sense. But despite her life being an open book, it was a very short and boring one.

Stu had stolen some guys wallets while Billy found them a change of clothes. He found them when sneaking around a dry cleaning, and they both sat in some stingy motel. So they were somewhat set for a breather.

They knew both their houses were no-gos. They weren't sure quite yet if they wanted people to know they were alive, and Stu had found out that his parents moved, not that he cared all that much; suppose they didn't want to live in a house where their son killed people and died himself.

Right now, at least Billy is very famous. Which he wouldn't complain about if it didn't mean he was also well known.

There is no hiding in a crowd of people who know who you are.

That's where Stu comes in.

While Stu is also known, he found out that since the movie barely gave him any noticeable personality, he wasn't really a fan favourite. Billy was a fan favourite due to the romanticizing and glorifying of killers, and he assumes that there was a level of disconnect between what happened in real life and what you see on screen. Sure, Stu was one of the killers, but Billy was the main one, like how people love Batman but gloss over Robin.

Almost all the credit for kills and scares went to Billy. Though it wasn't outwardly shown, it was just obvious.

Which just pissed him off again. Gale really couldn't get anything right.

The only people who seemed to give Stu any thought were the people who thought he and Stu were secretly sleeping together, and even they wouldn't know what Stu actually looks like because they were talking about movie Stu, played by god knows who.

Billy visibly ignored that part of the article, disgusted that anyone would even think that. They were partners; they killed people together; and, of course, they were close! He blames Stu for being all touchy and not him for not shutting him down.

Oh, and it's been 2 years since the 'Woodboro murders'.

So, not crazy long, but long enough that technology had changed and people were slightly older. To think that people who were younger than him before are now older than him was just weird. He was still 18 and Stu was still 17, though he didn't actually know if, despite being dead, he was still old. Visibly, he looked the same; he left it at that.

Anyway, back to Stu.

Since Stu's face wasn't used much for movie publicity at all (he's not even on the poster! ), he didn't have to deal with the looks of 'Is that Billy Loomis?' or 'Wow, he has a really unfortunate face.' Hell, because of the movie, they got away with walking around in blood-stained clothes!

So Stu was the one he sent out when they needed something. Namely, the news paper, and right now, dinner.

Billy had a clean set of clothes sitting by him for Stu, and he had already washed up and fixed up all the fucked-up shit Sid and Gale did to him.

Now he was looking like his normal self. It was a little weird being 'better'; they both should technically be covered in scars. If Stu wasn't lying about the TV, he should be deformed as shit. But they weren't. They looked exactly as they did before they even went to the party.
