Penny had invited Ricky over to her house to watch horror movies on Halloween. Everyone was still recovering from The Accident, but at least they were all alive.

Penny heard a knock on the door. "I'll get it!" she shouted to Ezra.

Ricky was standing outside. "Hi" he signed.

"Come in." Penny said, holding the door open.

Ricky walked in, paused to look around, then turned to Penny. "So what movie are we watching?"

"I have a few we can pick between together" Penny signed back. "Anyway, let me show you around!"

Penny walked around the house with Ricky, showing him everything she could in a quick amount of time.

When Penny was showing Ricky the kitchen, Ezra walked in.

"Oh, this is my brother Ezra. Say hi Ezra!" Penny said.

"Hi Ezra." Ezra said in a monotone voice.

"We make jokes like that quite often." Penny told Ricky.

Ricky nodded.


Penny and Ricky had decided to watch Alien. They were partway through the movie but Penny could only think about her experience in the afterlife.

"Do you ever think about it? The warehouse, I mean." Penny asked.

"Sometimes, yeah." Ricky replied. "Why?"

"The events of that, well night if you could call it that, keep replaying in my head." Penny signed. "Why did we all come back? Karnak said he could only bring back one of us."

"I don't know." Ricky signed. "But does that matter? We are alive right now."

"Your right." Penny signed.

Ricky nodded. "Of course I am" He signed.

Penny smiled at him, "I'm glad you survived."


Noel had never really liked horror movies, but when Mischa had invited him over to marathon the Saw series Noel had agreed.

"I feel like number five is under appreciated, that's all" Mischa said, snapping Noel back to reality. Crap, Noel had been day dreaming about Mischa. Again.

Why Mischa? Of all people, why Mischa? A straight man who had a Fiancée.

"I think I love you" Noel said. Shit, he didn't mean to say it out loud.

Mischa paused before saying "I love you too."

"No, I mean romantically."

"Yeah, I know. I'm not an idiot."

"Well what about your Fiancée? What about Talia?"

"I-" Mischa paused. "I don't know."

"I'm homosexual. How and why are idle questions. It's like wanting to know why my eyes are Green." Noel said. "Jean Genet"

"I get what you're trying to say but that doesn't really fix my problem." Mischa laughed.

Noel couldn't help but look at him.

"No, it doesn't." Noel admitted.

The two sat in awkward silence before Noel finally said something.

"I guess I have to think of a new catchphrase."

"I suppose you do."
