The funhouse twisted and turned, a labyrinth of mirrors that reflected not just their faces but the deep-rooted fears each character carried. As Eve, Noah, Sidney, and Gale maneuvered through the chaotic space, they could feel the palpable tension thickening with every step they took. The air was charged, a mixture of adrenaline and despair, as the specter of Ghostface loomed closer.

"Stay alert!" Sidney shouted, her voice steady despite the chaos surrounding them. "We have to corner Ghostface before they escape!"

Eve felt a rush of adrenaline surge through her veins, her heart pounding against her ribcage as she moved with Noah. They were ready to fight, to protect each other and avenge Dewey's death. But as they navigated the narrow passages, Eve's resolve began to waver. The fear and uncertainty wrapped around her like a cold shroud.

"Eve!" Noah's voice cut through her thoughts. He glanced back at her, a mix of determination and concern etched on his face. "We have to stick together."

"I know," she replied, forcing a brave smile, but the shadows of doubt were creeping in. "But what if we can't find them?"

"We will," Noah insisted, his voice firm. "But... there's something I need to tell you. Something I can't ignore anymore."

Before she could respond, a loud crash echoed through the hall, and they all instinctively turned toward the sound. Ghostface had made their presence known again, lunging from the shadows, their knife glinting ominously in the dim light.

"Run!" Sidney shouted, firing her weapon at the killer. The bullet ricocheted off the wall, and Ghostface danced out of range, laughing maniacally.

Eve felt panic rise within her. "Noah, we need to get out of here!" She grabbed his hand, pulling him along as they darted down one of the mirrored paths, desperate to escape the chaos behind them.

They ran, their footsteps echoing in the empty hall as they turned corner after corner. The screams and chaos faded into the background, and for a moment, it felt like they were the only two people in the world.

"Eve!" Noah shouted, pulling her into a small alcove hidden from view. The dim light flickered, casting shadows that danced around them, and the moment felt suspended in time.

"What are we doing?" Eve gasped, her heart racing from both fear and exhilaration.

Noah's gaze was intense, his breath quickening as he leaned closer, the tension between them palpable. "I couldn't just fight Ghostface without telling you how I feel. This is bigger than all of us. I want you to know that."

Eve could see the vulnerability in his eyes, and it drew her in. "Noah..." she began, but the words felt trapped in her throat as their surroundings blurred into the background.

Before she could finish, he closed the distance between them, capturing her lips in a fierce kiss that ignited something deep within her. She melted against him, losing herself in the moment, the world outside forgotten.

As they kissed, the adrenaline coursed through their veins, mixing with the urgency of the situation. The kiss deepened, filled with a longing that had been building between them since they had first met in this chaotic fight for survival.

With their hearts pounding, they pulled apart slightly, breaths mingling in the space between them. "Eve, I—" Noah started again, but she pressed her finger against his lips, a silent plea to not break the moment.

"It's okay," she whispered, her voice trembling slightly. "I feel it too. I don't want to think about what's happening out there. Not right now."

He nodded, understanding dawning in his eyes. They had been through so much together, and the connection they shared felt like a lifeline amidst the chaos.

In that small alcove, away from the fray, they found solace in each other. The weight of their situation pressed against them, but it also ignited a fire of passion, one that pushed them closer together.

Noah leaned in again, their foreheads touching, breaths mingling as the world outside faded further away. "No matter what happens, I'm here for you," he said softly, his fingers tangling in her hair.

"Me too," Eve breathed, her heart racing with a mix of emotions—fear, longing, and the raw connection that had blossomed between them.

With a shared look of determination, they stepped back, ready to face the world again. But as they emerged from their hiding spot, the reality of their situation rushed back in. The chaos of the funhouse was a cacophony of shouts and laughter, the sound of a fight escalating just around the corner.

"Come on," Noah said, his voice steady as he grasped her hand once more. "We have to get back to the others."

They navigated through the maze of mirrors, heartbeats quickening with each step. The urgency of the fight loomed large, but so did the bond they had forged in that hidden moment. Eve knew they had to be strong—not just for themselves, but for the memory of Dewey and the lives at stake.

As they rejoined Sidney and Gale, the atmosphere was charged with a new intensity. The confrontation with Ghostface had escalated, and they were in the thick of it. They had to prepare to confront the killer, to uncover the truth lurking beneath the mask.

But as Eve and Noah stood together, side by side, she felt a flicker of hope. They were in this together, facing the darkness with newfound strength. Whatever came next, they would face it together.

(yes eve and Noah did have intercourse I just didn't display it fully for the younger viewers)
