Both Sidney and Y/N were sleeping on the couch as the phone rings. Y/N and Sidney both wake up as Sidney answers it.

Sidney: Hello?

Tatum: Practice ran late. I'm on my way.

Sidney checks the clocks.

Sidney: It's past seven.

Tatum: Don't worry. Casey and Steve didn't bite it till way after ten.

Sidney : I'm not worried.

Tatum: Good, 'cause I wanna swing by Blockbuster and get us a video. I was thinkin' Tom Cruise in all the right moves. You know, if you pause it just right you can see his penis.

Sidney: Whatever. Just hurry.

Tatum Bye.

She hung up the phone. It immediately rings again.

Sidney: Tatum?

???: Hello, Sidney and Y/N.

Sidney: Hi. Who is this?

???: You tell me.

Sidney thinks, trying to place his voice. It sounds a little distorted.

Y/N: We have no idea.

???: Scary night, isn't it? With the murders and all, it's like right out of a horror movie or something.

Sidney: Aha, Randy, you gave yourself away. Are you calling from work? Tatum's on her way over.

???: Do you and Y/N like scary movies, Sidney?

Sidney: I like that thing you're doing with your voice, Randy. It's sexy.

???: What's your favorite scary movie?

Sidney: Don't start. You know I don't watch that shit.

???: And why is that?

Sidney: Because they're all the same. It's always some stupid killer stalking some big breasted girl-who can't act-who always runs up the stairs when she should be going out the front door. They're ridiculous. A brief silence.

???: Are you and Y/N alone in the house?

Sidney: That is so unoriginal. You disappoint us, Randy.

???: Maybe that's because I'm not Randy.

Y/N: Then who are you?

???: The question is not who am I. The question is where am I?

Sidney: So where are you?

???: Your front porch.

They move to the window and pull aside the drapes.

Y/N: And why would you call me from my front porch?

???: That's the original part.

They can't quite see all of the porch.

Sidney: Oh yeah? Well I call your bluff.

Sidney goes to the front door. She unlocks the bolt, unsnags the chain, and pulls the door open revealing the front porch is empty. She and Y/N step out onto it, phone still in hand. A single light shines overhead illuminating the porch, but little beyond. Darkness is all around.

Sidney: So where are you?

???: Right here.

Y/N looks out into the darkness past thick shrubs that grow on either side of the porch.

Y/N: Can you see us right now?

???: Uh-huh.

Sidney: What am I doing?
