Scared to Death
Christina: Man, that was a great show. I'm beat. But, as always, I must remain upbeat. (She starts rummaging through her things. Somebody taps her on the shoulder. She looks up, and it's Drew Lachey.)
Drew: Hey, Christina.
Christina: Oh, hey, Drew.
Drew: Are you doing anything tonight?
Christina: No, why?
Drew: I was kinda wondering... (stammers)... if you'd go out on a date with me.
Christina: (surprised) Um, sure! That would be really great. (She smiles)
Drew: (relieved) Great! Um, as soon as we're done with all this business here, you wanna go?
Christina: Yes, I cannot stand this place. Britney's here, and Mandy, and those awful Backstreet Boys.
Drew: (laughs) Well, I'll see you soon. (He leaves, and bumps into Nick.)
Nick: Hey bro. (looks at him) So, did she say yes?
Drew: Yeah.
Nick: But you never told me who this mystery girl is. Do I know her?
Drew: Everyone does.
Nick: That's a given.
Drew: Well, you never said I had to tell you.
Nick: Okay, man. Hey, wanna double date? I'm gonna take Jess out tonight.
Drew: Really? That's cool. All right, I'll tell Christina.
Nick: Christina? You asked Christina Aguilera out? Wow. I hope you give her "What a Girl Wants.".... (looks at Drew) Okay, sorry, that was a really corny joke.
Drew: You said it, I didn't.
Nick: Whatever. Listen, I've gotta go tell Jess now, but I'll see you, okay, little bro? Later.
(In the background, there are two people watching; Kevin and Chris. Kevin, secretly, wants to go out with Christina, and Chris wants to go out with Jessica. Unfortunately, for these two, there are people watching them, too.)
(Kevin and Chris, as a team, are spying on the foursome.)
Nick: So Jess, how did you like dinner? (He puts his arm around her waist)
Jessica: It was great, Nick. Thanks. (kisses him on the cheek)
Christina: I never knew you guys were going out. How did you keep it a secret?
Jessica: It's really, really hard. We never get to go out like normal people, cuz... well, you can relate.
Christina: (nods) But it's great how we weren't spotted today. I really miss the privacy of being a nobody.
(They all start talking about their newfound fame.)
Kevin: Chris, can you hear what they're saying?
Chris: Yeah, they're talking about fame. (Chris looks through binoculars) And... Nick has his arm around Jessica's waist... Oh, I am going to kill him. I need her. She's my only hope.
Scary Voice: You aren't going to kill them, guys. We are.
(Kevin and Chris turn around)
Jordan: Oh, and did we mention, we're going to kill you, too?
Joey: Aww, look. A Backstreet Boy and an 'N Syncer. Together. Isn't that cute, Jordan?
Kevin: Aren't you...?
Jordan: Who? The guys from NKOTB?
Chris: Yeah. That's it.
Joey: We're getting revenge for what you did to us. You took away our money.
Kevin: Well, not intentionally.
Jordan: Oh, well. (He shoots Kevin in the chest, and Kevin dies. Chris looks on, horrified.)
Jordan: And now, you. (He shoots Chris' head off. Drew, Christina, Nick and Jessica look towards the gunshots.)
Drew: Did you hear that?
Jessica: Yeah. It sounded like... a gunshot? Two of them.
Christina: I'm scared.
Drew: Don't worry, I've got you. (He hugs her)
Nick: I'm going to check this out. (He walks over, and finds Kevin and Chris lying there.) GUYS! Come over here!
(The three of them run towards Nick, and they look into the bushes.)
Jessica: Oh, my God, it's Kevin from the Backstreet Boys and Chris from 'N Sync.
Christina: Are they dead?
Drew: I think so. (looks at them carefully) I think someone shot them on purpose.
Nick: But who?
(Jordan and Joey are watching them from behind a tree. They realize now that they cannot kill the foursome just yet, but...)
Jordan: (whispering) We'll get you next time.
