CUT TO:
EXT. PRESCOTT RESIDENCE/STABLE - AFTERNOON
A vast, open countryside in the mountains. Trees surround a large farm house. We close
in on a stable in the back of the house. Someone stands, back turned, tending to a horse,
brushing its mane.
They turn around, revealing... SIDNEY PRESCOTT (30's) long black hair(tied in a ponytail).
Looks as if she's at peace, happy, and enjoying the solitude. Sidney moved back to the quiet
countryside after the latest murders, believing that her being in Woodsboro is a curse to the
town and everyone that lives there. She closes the stable door and proceeds out, towards the
back door. She stops, realizing her back patio door is open...
The peaceful soundtrack stops.
Sidney stares, puzzled. She then continues on, slightly more cautious. Up the steps, onto
the porch, then through the patio door into -
INT. PRESCOTT RESIDENCE/KITCHEN - MOMENTS LATER
Sidney observes the inside cautiously, peering in slowly, look around. it's so quiet her footsteps
are actually heard after each step.
Just as she's about to enter the living room, the landline phone rings! Sidney jumps out of her
skin, startled. She then starts for the phone. She picks it up, putting the phone to her ear...
(NOTE: We only see Sidney here. Kirby is only heard.)
SIDNEY
Hello?
KIRBY (V.O.)
Hey Sidney.
SIDNEY
(sighs in relief)
Oh,hey Kirby, I was sure you were someone else for a
second... (chuckles)
KIRBY (V.O.)
Yeah, giving to previous circumstances, I don't blame you...
That's kinda what I'm calling about, actually...
A noise behind Sidney catches her attention. She turns quick... It's just the wind.
SIDNEY
What do you mean?
KIRBY (V.O.)
I don't know if it's something to worry too much about...
But someone's been calling me and messaging me.
SIDNEY
(concerned)
Well, do you know who it is?
KIRBY (V.O.)
No, and that's what worries me... I mean things have been
quiet here in Woodsboro... Nothing you know, Stab related.
SIDNEY
Well, what did Dewey say, did you tell him?
KIRBY (V.O.)
No... Well, I thought about it, but it didn't seem all that
serious. I mean I used to get prank calls on a daily basis.
SIDNEY
Yeah, I know what that's like... But I mean, if it gets any
worse, I would mention it to Dewey.
KIRBY (V.O.)
Yeah, you're probably right.
SIDNEY
So how are you holding up?
KIRBY (V.O.)
I think I'm doing better. I mean I'm still taking my meds...
But I have to, or I'll kill someone.
(laughs)
But overall I've been doing alright.
SIDNEY
(smiles)
Well that's good... By the way, I'm still coming to your
presentation thing tonight. I was actually just coming
inside to get ready.
KIRBY (V.O.)
Oh I know. (laughs)
Everyone's so excited to see you, myself included.
SIDNEY
I doubt everyone is... Most people think I'm cursed or
something... I sometimes wonder if they're right.
KIRBY (V.O.)
Don't listen to them Sid. They just couldn't begin to
understand the shit we've been through.
SIDNEY
Yeah, isn't that the truth. (chuckles)
KIRBY (V.O.)
Well hey, I'll let you get back to what you were
doing. I just wanted to check with you on this.
Thank you Sidney, you're like the big sister I
never had. (laughs)
SIDNEY
(laughs; smiles)
I mean I'm no Nathan, but you know you always
talk to me.
KIRBY (V.O.)
(laughs)
Thank God you're not a Nathan. I mean he's a great
brother and all, but he sucks at dealing with emotional
conflict.
SIDNEY
(chuckles)
Well, at least you know he's always there for you.
KIRBY (V.O.)
Yeah, true. (chuckles)
Well, I guess I'll see you later tonight. Be safe Sid.
SIDNEY
You too... And don't answer anymore strange phone
calls.
KIRBY (V.O.)
(laughs)
I'll keep that in mind. See ya later. Sid
SIDNEY
(smiles)
Alright Kirby, be careful.
KIRBY (V.O.)
Will do.
The call ends. Sidney hangs the phone up on the receiver. She looks around, then
proceeds forward, closing and locking the patio door. She then looks out into her
back yard, a puzzled look on her face.
INT. WCC DORMITORIES/WEST SIDE DORMS - LATER
Kirby slumps down on her bed, running her hand through her hair. A knock on
the door alerts her. Another one follows. Kirby turns her head then proceeds for
the door slowly. Suspense building, until...
LISA (O.S.)
Hey Kirby, it's Lisa... Do you have a minute?
KIRBY
Uh... Yeah, just a sec.
Kirby unlocks the door, opening it to see Lisa standing on the other side.
KIRBY (CONT'D)
Is everything okay?
LISA
Yeah... I mean, I just... (sighs)
(beat)
You mind if I come in?
KIRBY
Yeah, no, come in.
Kirby walks back into her room, sitting on her bed. Lisa following, closing
the door behind her.
LISA
Okay, so I need to talk to you about something...
KIRBY
Is something wrong?
LISA
(hastily)
No, I mean... I don't know... I don't think so... You're
just the only person I could think to come to for this.
KIRBY
(chuckles)
Just tell me, Lisa.
LISA
Okay... I might be kinda sorta... Pregnant...
(bites her lip)
Lisa's words freeze Kirby for a moment.
KIRBY
(surprised)
Whoa! Wait, what? You serious?
LISA
Yeah.
KIRBY
(smiles)
Oh my God, that's amazing!
Kirby clings to Lisa with a hug.
LISA
I mean yeah, but you don't think it's too soon? Like
I'm not even sure if we're ready...
KIRBY
(smiles)
Relax, you guys are gonna be fine. You're just nervous
is all.
LISA
(sits down on Kirby's bed)
Yeah, maybe so. I don't know... (chuckles)
I just definitely wasn't expecting to find this out.
KIRBY
(laughs)
You and me both... Today has just been one hell
of a roller-coaster.
LISA
Yeah... But wait, what do you mean?
KIRBY
Oh it's nothing... Sidney doesn't think it's anything
to really be concerned about.
LISA
Well, what is it?.. Come on, you're the first person I've
even told about my situation. it's only fair. (chuckles)
KIRBY
(deep breath; chuckles)
Well... Someone's been calling me and messaging
me...
LISA
You mean like a prank caller?
KIRBY
Yeah... I mean I don't think it's anything to worry about.
Nothing's happened around here in a while, right?
LISA
Well... Not exactly.
(beat)
I'm really not supposed to tell you this, but Dewey's
been doing deep research. I don't know what all he
knows, but things haven't exactly been quiet. Maybe
here in Woodsboro, but just this year alone, there's
already been three attacks. The most recent just happened
last night...
KIRBY
(paranoid)
No way... Why haven't I already heard about this?
I mean this could be serious, Lisa..
LISA
Well, we've been keeping the news away to avoid a city
wide panic. But it's not like it's one person doing all of
this. Each account were new suspects... It's almost like
it's some kind of...
KIRBY
Following...
LISA
Well, I was gonna say cult, but yeah...
KIRBY
No, the show, The Following, it's about an operation
led by a convicted serial killer in...
LISA
(confused)
What?...
KIRBY
Prison... You don't think?...
LISA
No, no... Jake's crazy, I'll give him that, but he's
no mastermind. If anything... he's scared.
KIRBY
Maybe I'm just over-reacting. It could be nothing... But
with what you what you just told me, I'm not so sure
anymore. I guess only time will tell.
LISA
Yeah... Just don't tell Dewey that I told you about this,
okay?
KIRBY
Of course... Don't tell him what I told you.
LISA
Deal. Also, don't let that other information I shared
slip to anyone else either.
KIRBY
(chuckles)
Don't worry, secret's safe with me.
LISA
Good deal. (sighs)
Well, I appreciate the girl time, but I gotta get outta
here.
Lisa sits up and proceeds towards Kirby's door.
KIRBY
Hey... Lisa.
Lisa turns towards Kirby as she opens the door.
LISA
Yeah?
KIRBY
(smiles)
I think you're gonna make a kick-ass mom.
Lisa can't help but smile. Kirby as well.
LISA
(smiles)
You're something else Kirby... Good luck tonight by the
way.
KIRBY
(chuckles)
Eh, who needs luck these days.
LISA
(chuckles)
Just like your brother I swear.
KIRBY
(chuckles)
You be careful out there.
LISA
(smiles)
You too. Catch ya later.
Kirby throws up the peace sign, with a big smile on her face.
Lisa leaves the room, closing the door behind her. Kirby immediately collapses
backwards onto her bed. She sighs deeply, holding her phone in-front of her face,
checking the time. 5:35pm.
CUT TO:
EXT. PRESCOTT RESIDENCE - NIGHT
It's quiet outside. A cool breeze blows through, a tree swing sways back and forth,
the stable door creaks. Crickets chirp and owls hoot.
We move in on the bathroom window, as if we're in someone else's perspective.
Sidney steps out of the shower, wrapped in a towel, she disappears into her bedroom.
Moments later, she reappears back into the bathroom.
We're now with Sidney in -
INT. BATHROOM/SIDNEY'S BEDROOM - MOMENTS LATER
Sidney wears a white tank top and black shorts as she walks into the bathroom.
She stops in-front of the mirror, taking the towel out of her hair, then blow dries
her hair.
It's not long after that...
Her cell phone begins to vibrate on the counter. She picks up the phone, observing
the lit up screen.
The soundtrack thuds!
The lit up screen reads, "INCOMING CALL. RESTRICTED".
Sidney is hesitant to answer at first, but her curiosity gets the best of her. She
swipes the screen, accepting the call...
SIDNEY
Prescott residence.
The menacing voice on the other end sends a sharp chill down Sidney's spine.
It's the voice of Ghostface.
GHOSTFACE (V.O.)
Not hiding behind fake names again, I see.
(laughs)
SIDNEY
Who is this?
GHOSTFACE (V.O.)
Like I would just spoil the fun like that. Everyone
seeks answers to something they just don't understand.
Take Kirby for example, she had her chance. Now... it's
your turn.
SIDNEY
(serious)
What did you do to Kirby?
GHOSTFACE (V.O.)
Oh I didn't do anything to Kirby... Yet.
You see, I'm not after Kirby. She's an afterthought. I'm
after bigger game. I mean, you are the one who always
gets away. Well... Not this time.
SIDNEY
Well then why don't you come for me, huh? Why not get
this all over with and fucking come after me!?
GHOSTFACE (V.O.)
Oh believe me, I will... But I'm not just going to kill you.
That's too easy... I'm gonna make sure they're all
watching... No, I'm not just going to kill you, Sidney...
I'm going to kill you in-front of everyone you know and love.
Sidney's eyes widen. She may not seem it, but right now, she's truly
terrified.
SIDNEY VS GHOSTFACE! DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THE GHOST IS
PLAYING AROUND THIS TIME AT ALL! STAY TUNED
FOR THE NEXT EPIC CHAPTER!
