THE THORNTON RESIDENCE

"V, I'm throwing a party later. So you might wanna go somewhere if you don't uh- wanna be around that." Topper says, awkwardly.

"Give me the keys to your car." Violet says.

"I'm not giving you my car." Topper says.

"Well how do you expect me to get outta here? I don't have a car." Violet says.

"You can't even drive. You don't have a license yet!" Topper says.

"I'll get it after this hurricane disaster thing is all over." Violet says.

"Just take my bike. The regular one not the electric." Topper says.

"Fine. You owe me one." Violet says, rolling her eyes, walking out the door, grabbing a bunch of flowers outside and getting on the bike.

THE GRAVEYARD

"C'mon help me with the door." John B says.

"Are you pushing?" John B asks Pope.

"Yeah I'm pushing." Pope responds annoyed.

"This door is like 700 pounds." Pope says.

"We didn't come this far to get this far alright." JJ says, pitching in with the door. A snake inside the hole of the door slithers out, scaring them.

"Oh my god what is that?!" Kiara says, jumping back.

"Whoa whoa whoa" John B says.

"That's a moccasin alright. Death in tall grass." JJ says, following the snake.

"Ye lives Dr. Cottonmouth." JJ adds, staring down the snake.

"WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF" JJ barks.

"You'll wake the dead! What are you doing!?" Kiara yells.

"They're scared of dogs. Everyone knows that." JJ says.

"JJ? Is that you? Why are you barking?" Violet asks, getting off her bike. The whole crew shines their flashlights on her, startled and confused at who she was.

"Whoa there you can turn off the lights, it's not fashion week." Violet adds as all the flashlights turn off except one. She was in cemetery to visit her grandma, whose headstone was right by where the Pogues were.

"I remember you. You were at the party right princess?" JJ asks.

"Yeah." Violet replies.

"We can't trust her." Kiara whispers to John B.

"Who is she?" Pope whispers to John B.

"I'm right here you know!" Violet says, obviously they were too loud.

"Hey do you mind helping my buddies and I out for a bit?" JJ asks, the rest of the pogues look at each other in objection but don't say anything.

"I guess grandma could wait. She's been here for a while anyways." Violet says, looking at her grandma's gravestone.

"Alright, what do you need me to do?" Violet asks, walking over to the Pogues and the tomb.

"Can you uhm, go inside the tomb? We can't lift the door open. It's like seven hundred pounds" John B asks.

"This isn't some creepy necrophiliac thing right?" Violet asks, joking. JJ laughs, but gets punched in the arm by Pope.
