[OPEN: A black screen with a pair of disembodied red lips.]
*"Science Fiction Double Feature" is sung featuring SANTANA*
[CUT TO: AUDITORIUM. BRAD is playing the opening chords to "There's A Light" on the piano as the Glee kids are on stage performing a dress rehearsal.]
*"There's A Light" plays featuring the Glee Ensemble*
CARL: (from offstage) Whoa ho ho ho!
[The music stops and CARL walks on stage in a leather costume.]
CARL: Scheuster, are you messing with my woman?
WILL: (stands ups) I-
CARL: I thought we had a deal!
[WILL's upset face is frozen onto the screen as a voiceover plays.]
WILL: (in voiceover) This is the face of a guy who stepped in it. How did it get to this? How did a production of Rocky Horror turn into my horror? It all started a week ago.
Everyone glanced at each other as it started, knowing this wouldn't end well for the kids.
[CUT TO: TEACHER'S LOUNGE. EMMA is sitting down and eating a sandwich.]
WILL: (sitting down across from EMMA) Hey, Em.
EMMA: Hi.
WILL: (looking confused) What's with your crusts? You- You always cut them off.
EMMA: (looks down at her sandwich and her eyes grow large) I must have forgotten this morning!
WILL: Forgot?
EMMA: Carl and I had the most amazing weekend. We hit the revival theatre downtown for the midnight show of Rocky Horror! (She laughs)
WILL: (looking concerned) You're kidding. But isn't that where everyone dresses up and yells stuff?
EMMA: Yes! Yeah. Well, I mean, we don't dress up. (She pauses then smiles) At least, not yet.
"He was good for her." Stasia said, frowning.
WILL: (laughs uncomfortably) Wait, isn't that theatre a total dive?
EMMA: It's disgusting! It's horrible. I mean, there isn't a surface that isn't covered in spilled soda. So, you think it'd be a nightmare for me right? But, I don't know. I'm having so much fun that I don't even notice!
WILL: (aggressively takes a bite of a cookie) Huh?
[FLASHBACK - CUT TO: THEATRE INTERIOR. EMMA and CARL are at the Rocky Horror show throwing toast, squirting water guns, and kissing.]
[CUT TO: TEACHER'S LOUNGE. EMMA continues eating her sandwich.]
EMMA: Oh, and get this. You know how I have always been very anti-Halloween because it totally freaks me out to think about eating candy that someone else has touched, right? Well, Carl and I are going to dress up as characters from the show and we're actually going to go trick-or-treating!
WILL: (in voiceover) The sandwich, the dirty theatre. He's actually making her better.
EMMA: (talking under WILL's voiceover) Now, I'm going to go as Janet because obviously, she's a ginger –
WILL: (in voiceover) He's winning. Why the hell didn't I think of taking her to that damn show?
"Because she wouldn't have gone with you." Santana said bluntly as people nodded in agreement.
