Sammy felt a warm body behind him. His memories slowly came back to him while he laid there comfortable in bed. Smiling he rolled over and into the arms of his lover.

"I love you Lucas," Sammy said opening his eyes to the familiar face of his best friend and lover.

However, what he saw was not Lucas, it was someone else.

"Lucas?" Bobby asked looking just as confused as Sammy was.

"Bobby? Wait where's Lucas?"

Bobby looked bewildered, "Why would Lucas be in my room?"

"But... Oh God..." Sammy said sitting up as he realized what this meant. "Oh God," Sammy said over and over again. He covered his face as he ran last night's memories over in his head. He swore he confessed to Lucas and they made love.

"Wait, did you think I was Lucas," Bobby asked sitting up trying to follow Sammy's train of thought. Sammy turned to look at Bobby and the look on his face of both shame and regret told him everything. "Oh..."

Both Bobby and Sammy stayed silent for a very long time.

Finally, Bobby said something, "Sorry. I.. I thought," Bobby paused then said, "... so what you said last night was all about Lucas and how you feel towards him?"

Sammy looked up at Bobby with pleading eyes, "Please. You can't say anything to him! I-I-I... you can't ok? He can't know how I feel about him! Please, don't tell anyone" Sammy begged.

"Uh, yeah. Don't worry about it," Bobby said trying not to look how he felt.

Sammy was completely embarrassed. His mind was still reeling as the events of last night kept replaying, only now Sammy knew that it wasn't Lucas that he made love with, it was someone else. "I got to get home," Sammy said as he quickly he grabbed his clothes and started to head out the room.

"Wait," Bobby said stopping him.

Sammy turned to look at Bobby who was still in bed.

"I..." there was a long pause. "Why don't you get dressed, I can drive you home."

Sammy looked back at Bobby. "Thanks," He said.

Bobby got out of bed. Immediately Sammy face grew red at the sight of him as he turned away trying not to look at him.

It took Bobby a few seconds to realize why Sammy was embarrassed, "Oh... yeah let me just," Bobby said as he grabbed some clothes and quickly left the room to get dressed somewhere else.

This gave Sammy some time to think things over after he got dressed. Sammy covered his face as he tried to figure out this entire disaster of a situation. It wasn't long before Bobby knocked on the door, "You ready?"

"Yeah," Sammy said trying to do his best not to sound so shameful.

Sammy made it home just before his mom woke up. Luckily, she wasn't a morning person on the weekends. Sammy snuck up to his room and closed the door. As soon as Sammy got in his room he couldn't help but break down as the full weight of what happened last night hit him. He had sex with Bobby. Not just that but he revealed his deepest darkest secret to him.

What if he told Lucas?

Oh God!

Sammy literally crawled into bed and felt like dying or disappearing from the world. How could this have happened? Sammy traced the events of last night and only remember eating some snacks then... things started to get fuzzy. He remembered Bobby talking to him and his face was changing shapes then something about laying in a bedroom. Then Lucas showing up and him confessing his feelings for him and having sex...

But it wasn't Lucas! How could he have misjudged who it was? It wasn't like Bobby looked like Lucas. Sammy couldn't help but run through the conversation that they had. Wait... did Bobby ... like him?

Sammy couldn't help but turn red in embarrassment and clutch one of his pillows as he came to that conclusion. Bobby did kiss him... and other things. No, it had to be a prank... right? Did Bobby really like him? Then a thought went through Sammy's head.

Do I like Bobby?

NO! Sammy loved Lucas, the only reason he did anything last night was because he thought that it was Lucas not Bobby. Right...?

Sammy was so confused and embarrassed from everything that happened he didn't realize how tired he was from last night. It was around 8am and Sammy didn't get a lot of sleep last night. It wasn't long before all the worrying and questions tired out Sammy and fell asleep in his bed.

Sammy woke up in his bed. As he recalled the events last night he thought it was all just a dream or something, until he sat up in bed. His bottom told him another story. It all happened. Sammy couldn't help but pull a pillow close and squeeze it until all his embarrassment was gone. What should he do? Should he try and talk with Bobby about last night? Did he act like it never happened?

Those questions ran through his head until his stomach told him it was time to eat. Sammy got up and headed down stairs where his mom was making lunch. Sammy had slept till noon. Sammy said good morning to his mom and took his seat at the table. He regretted sitting his butt down so hard.

"You ok," His mom asked as she set the plate with a sandwich down in front of him.

"Yeah," He said trying to not let her know the truth.

"That must have been some party last night. I was going to wait up for you but it was getting late."

"Umm about last night mom," Sammy said trying to think how much to tell her.

"Yes?"

"I... Bobby... Bobby's dad wasn't there," Sammy blurted out.

"What? I thought..."

"I didn't know he wasn't going to be there mom I swear," Sammy said blurting the truth out but not the one he the actual truth he wanted to talk about.

"Was everything ok," Sammy's mom asked concerned at the sound of his voice.

"Umm, well the party lasted till... this morning," Sammy said under his breath.

He could tell that his mother was upset but she just hugged Sammy, "I'm just glad you made it home."

"I know, I didn't mean to stay out so late, I just didn't know what time it was until ... you know."

Sammy's mom took a seat and looked at him, "What am I going to do with you?"

"Love me?"

Sammy's mom laughed as she ate her sandwich. Sammy started to eat but found that he didn't have much of an appetite. The truth he told his mom wasn't the one he wanted to talk about. Could he tell his mom about ... Bobby? No, it was something he would have to keep a secret.

It was Monday morning again and Sammy dreaded the ride to School. What if he ran into Bobby? What if he told Lucas about him and his feelings and everything? What if...

A million situations ran through Sammy's head as the buss doors opened up and he went into the school. He headed toward his locker and started to get his school supplies. Lost in thought he didn't even notice Tiffany and Lucas show up.

"Sammy," Lucas called his name right behind him making him jump up.

"Lucas? Oh, hey... I didn't see you there..." Sammy trying to laugh off the fright that he gave him.

"Really," Tiffany asked, "We've been standing here for like a minute."

"Oh, yeah? I didn't notice," Sammy said gathering up his books he dropped.

"You seem jumpier than usual," Tiffany said. "Did anything happen at Bobby's party.

Sammy's stomach jumped at the mention of the party.

"Bobby told me everything about you Sammy," Lucas said staring right at Sammy. Sammy's heart dropped to his stomach, which then dropped to his gut, which proceeded to drop to his feet. Complete dread washed over him. Sammy was about to say something when Lucas continued. "He told me you ate too many sweets and passed out," Lucas said laughing. "Man, you really need to watch out for that stuff."

Sammy never felt more relived in his life. Bobby didn't tell Lucas anything about his feelings for him or what they did.

Sammy let out a relieve laugh, "You know I have a sweet tooth."

"Yeah, but come on, 3 plates worth of sweets?"

"Wow," Tiffany said shocked. "I'm surprised you didn't die from that much sugar."

Lucas laughed, "Yeah, your lucky Bobby let you sleep it off in his room."

"Yeah," Sammy said remembering the night spent in Bobby's room.

"So, I was wondering, because Jessica brought it up the other day, did you want to join us to go watch a movie this Saturday?"

"Sure," Sammy said feeling excitement about going to a movie with Lucas.

"Cool, Jessica told me how she's a horror movie fanatic so I thought we could all go see the new release of Camp Blood."

Sammy almost jumped again at the mention of one of the scary film itself. Sammy was about to tell Lucas he wouldn't be able to go, due to how scared he was but... this was like a date with Lucas right? Swallowing his fear, Sammy did his best to act excited for the film.

Everything was going great and was normal that was until the end of school. Sammy was packing up his things at his locker was about to leave. He jumped at the unexpected voice behind him.

"Can we talk," Bobby asked.

"Bobby? Umm, Hi."

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you like that."

"No, I just... I wasn't expecting to see you..."

"Oh," Bobby said seeming a little disappointed in what he heard.

"No, I didn't mean it like that. I ... just didn't think you would talk to me after.... You know."

"Oh, right," Bobby replied again seeming to realize his mistake in what Sammy meant in his words.

Sammy than smiled at Bobby. "Thanks for not telling Lucas anything."

Bobby looked at Sammy's smiling face and felt his entire day seem to brighten up. "Of course. I would never do something like that."

"So, you needed to talk?"

"Ummm," Bobby said now seeming a little embarrassed right now. "Yeah, I ... I was wondering ... are you doing anything this weekend," He asked trying his best not to seem as embarrassed as he was now.

"Yeah, Jessica, Tiffany, and Lucas invited me to the movies," Sammy told him. "Why?"

"Oh, nothing," Bobby told him trying not to look disappointed. "I just-I just thought you know, maybe we could hangout or something but you're doing something and I forgot have something to do that day anyway. Oh, shoot, I forgot I have practice now and need to get going," Bobby said quickly feigning a laugh, he turned and left quickly.

Sammy looked confused at what just happened, was Bobby asking him out?

The next couple of days, were like any other typical school day for Sammy. He went to school learned, and headed home. He never saw Bobby again that week he only heard rumors that were spreading. Bad rumors. Word was spreading that Bobby broke up with Rebeca, but that wasn't the bad part of the rumors. Rebeca was missing. The rumors said that the break up caused Rebeca to go suicidal and that's why she was missing. Other's rumors were saying she was another victim, but the worst rumor that Sammy heard was that Bobby was the killer. Bobby was using the break as an excuse as to why Rebeca isn't coming to school so he could get away with killing her. Things turned from bad to worse for Bobby when the cops came in and questioned him during school. After that everyone was acting like he was the culprit. Sammy felt horrible because he and Bobby were the only ones that knew that this was all just coincidental. Bobby was going to break up with Rebeca anyway and she just happen to be missing.

The cops finished question Bobby on Wednesday and the next day the entire school turned on Bobby like he was guilty. Sammy felt horrible for Bobby. He did his best to try and comfort Bobby but he couldn't find him at all on Thursday. It wasn't until Friday that Sammy was able to talk to Bobby. He was waiting outside the locker room where Bobby was changing for practice. But as players were leaving, Sammy didn't see Bobby as one of them. Worried Sammy went into the locker room and spotted Bobby by himself changed, but looking down at the ground very depressed.

"Bobby?"

Bobby looked up shocked to see Sammy, "What are you doing here?"

"I... I came to see how you're doing. Are you ok?"

"I... yeah, thanks. I'm just getting ready for practice."

Sammy knew that wasn't true. "I heard about Rebeca."

Bobby looked at Sammy wondering if he too was going to be afraid of him or worse insult him like the rest of the school. But he saw a side of Sammy that he didn't notice till now, how carrying he was toward others.

"Are you doing ok," Sammy asked again.

"No," Bobby said letting his true feelings show. "I feel horrible. The cops talked to me. They couldn't find her after the party and think she's another victim. I keep thinking back to that night and thinking what I could done to save her. If I didn't leave her at the party and stayed by her side she might still be here." Bobby said sounding torn up inside. "What's worse is that some of the cops suspect me of hurting her. I told them I would never do such a thing, but they don't believe me. It doesn't help that everyone last saw Rebeca with me before she disappeared. Now I'm being suspected of being the mysterious kidnapper."

"But you didn't do it. You were with me..." Sammy said trying not to blush.

"I know but, no one else knows that."

"You didn't tell the cops," Sammy asked.

Bobby shook his head. "I figured... you didn't want anyone to know."

Sammy was shocked, "But you're being investigated. If you told them that they wouldn't suspect you anymore."

"You told me not to tell anyone, and I won't," Bobby told Sammy. Bobby stood up off the locker room bench, "Besides we both know I didn't do it. That's good enough for me."

"Bobby," Sammy said touched. He went over and hugged Bobby who wasn't expecting it. "I won't let them," Sammy whispered.

"What," Bobby asked.

"I said I won't let them take you away. I'll tell the cops the truth. I'll let them know that you were with me the whole night. Then they won't be able to accuse you."

"Sammy..."

Sammy looked determined, "I mean it. I won't let them hurt you anymore."

Smiling Bobby couldn't stop from going in and kissing Sammy. Sammy melted from the sudden and unexpected kiss. Bobby pulled back after a few seconds of locking lips. "Thanks for cheering me up," Bobby said smiling. With that Bobby headed out of the locker room to catch up with the team before practice started, leaving Sammy still stunned from the experience.

It took Sammy a while before he could move again from the shock. He should be upset that Bobby kissed him so suddenly, but he couldn't help but enjoy it a little. Besides, Sammy did his job, he helped Bobby cheer up.

Sammy woke up Saturday morning. In a few hours Sammy was going to meet everyone at the movies. Getting up and out of bed, Sammy smelled something delicious. Bacon and eggs. Heading down stairs he greeted his mom who was busy reading the paper.

Sammy's mom looked and smiled at him, "Made breakfast."

"Thanks," Sammy said taking a seat next to his mom. As Sammy sat down and started to think about the past week and everything that had been happening recently. Especially how he felt about Bobby. Finally, Sammy decided to get someone else's opinion, "Umm, Mom."

"Yes," She replied still reading.

"I... last weekend I met someone..."

Sammy saw his mom's reaction. She immediately put the paper down and did her best not to look as excited as she was, "Oh, did you?" He could see the delight in her eyes. "Did my little Sammy meet someone he likes," she said teasingly.

Sammy couldn't help but blush a little as he looked down, "Mom..."

"Oh sorry," She said trying to reel back her excitement. "Go on."

Sammy thought about how to get his mother's advice on the topic. "I... I'm not even sure if I like him but-" Sammy blurted out but suddenly froze as he realized what he just said. Sammy's face grew red in embarrassment as he let the word slip out.

"Him?" Sammy's mom asked looking a little confused. Sammy just looked up at his mom expecting her to judge him, or to be ashamed of him. Yet, he only saw his mother's loving smile beam at him as she encouraged him to continue, "Go on..." In that moment Sammy couldn't help but love his mother for being who she was. He felt like a jerk for even thinking that his mother would be anything but loving toward him.

"Well," Sammy continued. "He sort of confessed to me about how he felt. But I never thought about him like that... so I'm not sure if I like him like that."

"Hmm," His mom said. "Well, that's what dating is for. To see if you have the same kind of feelings."

Sammy thought about it, but he never considered that. Then he thought about letting his mom know about the other situation, "But... what if I like... someone else?"

"Oh," His mom replied. "There's someone else?"

Sammy tried not to look so embarrassed about confessing all this to his mother. He nodded.

"Do they know how you feel?" Sammy shook his head no. "Why not talk to them?"

"Because... I like being friends with him..."

It took Sammy's mom a few seconds before recognition hit her face and she knew who he was talking about. "Oh... oh, I see now. You're afraid that your relationship with him will end if you confront him?" Sammy nodded in silence still feeling completely embarrassed about this whole conversation that he started. "Do you really think he would do that to you?"

"No, I mean... I hope not..."

Sammy felt his mother's loving hand set on his hand. "I'll always be here for you. So, if it does end up being as bad or worse, I'll be here to comfort you... with your favorite chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and your favorite movies to cheer you up."

"Thanks mom," Sammy said smiling and feeling 100 times better now that he had confine in his mother. She always knew how to make him feel. Not feeling as troubled as before, Sammy quickly ate his food and got ready for to leave for the movies. Jessica was coming to pick him up on her way to the movies. It didn't take long before Sammy heard the doorbell.

"I'm leaving mom," Sammy told her.

"Have fun, and be careful," She called after him.

Jessica was waiting outside for Sammy. "You ready?"

"Yep," Sammy said as closed the door.

"Alright let's go," Jessica said as they headed off to the movies.

Sammy and Jessica met Lucas and Tiffany waiting at the movies with tickets already for them.

"Come on we still need to get the food," Lucas called to them to hurry up before the movie started.

"We have plenty of time," Tiffany remarked.

"But we might miss the trailers," Lucas complained.

Jessica walked up to Lucas and said in a deep scary voice like from the announcer in the trailer asked, "Are you ready to see some blooooood?"

"Camp blooood," Lucas replied finishing the trailer showing as much excitement for the film.

Both Jessica and Lucas kept yelling the word blood in funny voices and talking about the characters that were showing screaming in the trailer. Meanwhile both Sammy and Tiffany were standing on the side completely out of the conversation.

Tiffany looked to Sammy, "I'm glad I'm not the only one lost. Sammy, you want to get some popcorn?"

"You mean Bloodcorn," Lucas asked. Everyone looked at him with an 'are you serious look'. "What?"

"Yeah, no, not funny," Tiffany said. "Come on Sammy, let's get some food." Sammy and Tiffany left Lucas and Jessica to talk about what horror films they enjoy the most. After grabbing their food, they all started to head toward their seats. As they were getting closer to the movie, Tiffany quickly said something. "I'll meet you all in there I'm going to the bathroom."

"You mind if I join you," Jessica asked.

"Sure," Tiffany said. Both Tiffany and Jessica headed toward the bathroom.

"I guess we'll find the seats then," Lucas called out to them.

Sammy and Lucas headed into the theater and looked around and found it empty. Lucas went up the stairs to a row of seats and took a seat. "Come on," Lucas called Sammy over as he took his seat next to Lucas. As Sammy got comfortable he held the tub of popcorn up for Lucas. "Thanks," he said as he grabbed a handful and started to munch on it while they waited for the film to start.

Sammy looked down at the popcorn and realized they already ate almost half of the tub, "Do you think we should get more?"

"Give me a minute, I'll be right back," Lucas told him.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, just save our seats," Lucas told him.

Sammy looked around, "I'll make sure no one steals them, count on me," Sammy joked as Lucas left the theater leaving Sammy by himself.

It didn't take long before Sammy heard two people coming. Thinking they were Jessica and Tiffany, Sammy stood up and started to wave at the entrance to get their attention only to find it was two completely different people. They were two boys a little older than Sammy.

"Oh, sorry I thought you were someone else," Sammy said embarrassed.

They didn't say anything to Sammy, as they walked past his row and sat behind him. Sammy took his seat and waited for everyone to show up. After a few minutes of waiting Sammy felt a little uncomfortable as he could hear the two behind him talking about girls. Then suddenly he heard the name Jessica come up.

"Brandon, I'm telling you she has a nice ass."

"Dude, she a bitch, did you hear about how she is with some dorky kid name Bambi or something. Right after her boyfriend disappeared, she hooked up with him. Shit, I bet she is blowing him right now."

"Hahaha, no way."

"Mike, I'm telling you, she jumped so fast on his dick that they say he's got burn marks on his penis."

"HA," Brandon laughed.

Unable to listen to them insult Jessica like that, Sammy stood up. "Hey, Jessica isn't like that. Please stop making fun of her."

Both of the teens looked at Sammy like he was some kind of wart they found on their face.

"Who the fuck are you," Mike asked.

"I'm- "

"Shut the fuck up we don't care," Brandon said as he tossed a piece of popcorn right in Sammy's face. Sammy flinched as it hit him on the nose.

"Nice shot," Mike congratulated Brandon as he picked up a piece of popcorn and threw it, hitting Sammy in the chin.

"You got to aim higher than that," Brandon said as he tossed another piece of food at Sammy. Humiliated, Sammy sat down trying to ignore the two teens. Sadly, they didn't leave him alone. Sammy felt the piece of food pelt down on him. The popcorn continued to bounce off his head as they continued to toss piece of food at him.

"Oh! Nice shot," Sammy heard as another piece hit him on the head. "Watch this," he heard as another piece hit the back of his head and down his shirt.

Sammy did everything from not crying at their abuse.

"Do something," one of them said as he threw another kernel to land on his head. Sammy brushed it off his head and did his best not to show how much they were getting to him. "This is boring," Mike said. "Should we leave?"

Sammy looked down at his half of a tube of popcorn. He was so upset that he wished he could show them. Like throw his bucket of popcorn, or maybe throw some at them. Heck he would show them if he wasn't so insignificant compared to them.

Sammy closed his eyes and wished they would leave like Mike was saying. Sammy anticipated another piece of popcorn to hit him on the head, he closed his eyes and waited for it to happen. There were none. Slowly he opened his eyes expecting them to hit him with another piece of popcorn. None fell from the sky. Slowly Sammy looked behind him and saw that no one was there...

Where did they go? Did they leave? Sammy's thoughts were interrupted when he heard Lucas, Tiffany, and Jessica talking as they entered the theater.

"Can you give it a rest, geez you guys are like horror nerds," Tiffany said sounding annoyed.

"Oh, come on," Lucas pleaded, "How can't you love Chainsaw 3? It was the best one of the series."

"What? The first was the best. It was so original and the characters..." Jessica said trying to persuade Lucas.

Sammy felt relieved that his friends were here. The two mean teens might be back later, but with Lucas here, Sammy felt safer.

Sammy waved them over as his friend headed up toward him. Lucas took his seat next to Sammy's right and Jessica to his left and Tiffany on Lucas' right. Just as they sat down, the movie started to play and the theater started to dim...

Mike one second was going to throw one more piece of popcorn at that little twerp in front of him when all of the sudden the theater disappeared and was surrounded by white and yellow fluffy cloud like objects.

Where the hell was he? Suddenly there was an earthquake and Mike was able to see something above him...

Mike screamed as he saw a giant face hover above him. Not only that he noticed that he was in a large tunnel... no not a tunnel but a container. The large face that was hovering above him looked familiar. Suddenly he realized where he was and cried out again. He was in a half-eaten popcorn tub. Trying to possible run away, Mike tried to move but he couldn't. Then it dawned on him... he didn't really have a body anymore. He was just like everything around him. Paniced, he looked around the best he could hoping to find some kind of clue or something to help him get out of here... suddenly he noticed one popcorn kernel about 10 feet away from him, give off a soft blue glow to it.

"Brandon?" He asked out loud.

"Mike," Was a ghostly reply.

"The fuck man," Mike screamed.

"I don't know... where, no what the fuck is going on!?"

As if to answer the question they saw an enormous feminine hand reach into their world and toward them. Both, Brandon and Mike screamed as they watched the enormous hand dive into the sea of white and yellow fluffy popcorn and squeeze a handful of food and extract it from the rest. They couldn't help but watch as the hand left the tub of food and headed toward the enormous face. The hand mercilessly shoved the food into the mouth of the girl, Jessica, as she devoured the small morsel of a meal.

"Oh, my, fucking, god, what the fuck," Mike cried wondering what was happening. Almost as if to answer his question another hand, a different one form before, reached into the tub that held both Mike and Brandon, and scooped up a handful of popcorn. Mike let out a cry as he was displaced from where he was and fell toward the area the hand just extracted the food from, filling in the empty space that was left.

"Fucking stop!" Screamed Brandon as Mike watched him try and move. He could see him wiggle just an inch but only compared to his size, to everyone else looking they wouldn't have seen it. As hard as he tried he couldn't move very far from where he was. Suddenly the female hand from before came back for more. She was heading toward Brandon. Brandon let out a horrified cry for help as the hand acted like one of those cranes from those arcade crane games and scooped him and his surroundings up in the air. Brandon tried to break free but was trapped between the flesh of Jessica's hand and the rest of the popcorn around him. Brandon was pulled out of the tub and headed toward his doom. Some kind of miracle must have occurred because Mike watched as Brandon suddenly fell from the girls' hand and slammed into the rest of the popcorn below.

"Are you ok," Mike asked his friend.

"Oh God," Brandon said in his yellow and white form, "We're going to die, aren't we?"

Mike thought about it for a second, "Are we even alive now?" Mike asked. They were piece of food right now.

"Oh shit!" Brandon screamed as he looked up. "Not again," Another hand came down into the bucket off popcorn. Brandon could do nothing as he was scooped up and started to travel out of the death trap that he was in. "I'm a fucking person," He screamed as he slowly approached the face of his executioner. Brandon looked upon the face and realized it look familiar. It belonged to the kid they were teasing before. "No, please we didn't mean it!" Brandon cried as the hand moved him closer to the unaware face. The mouth of the kid opened up and Brandon couldn't help but see the rest of the food he tossed into his mouth. There were popcorn kernels stuck in his teeth as saliva fell from the top of his mouth. Brand screamed one last time, "DON'T," but the kid didn't care as he tossed the handful of food into his mouth. Suddenly Brand felt his fluffy body get assaulted by the sticky and slimy fluid in the mouth. The liquid seeped into his being as he felt his own body start to turn to mush and goo. Brandon cried out as his own skin started to boil and fizz away into nothingness. The saliva was working its magic on Brandon. Brandon tried to move but it didn't' help as his entire being started to become mush. Suddenly he was moved quite quickly from his spot. The teen that was trying to eat him opened his mouth for less than a second and allowed light in. Brandon could see his surroundings and saw how lucky he was. All the other piece of popcorn were demolished and obliterated. They were sloshy piece of gooey food that were being pushed toward the kids mashing teeth that were waiting for his arrival. Finally, it was his turn as he was set on top of one of those behemoths to await his doom. Brandon didn't have to wait long as the teeth did what they were meant to do. It was over in a flash, he felt his body get smashed and everything stopped...

Mike watched as his best friend disappeared into the mouth of a stranger. Mike tried to call out to Brandon but he didn't get a reply. Brandon was gone.

Mike forgot about his own plight as a hand dived into the bucket again and scooped up more of his fellow popcorn beings. Mike took a look around and noticed that the level of popcorn was dwindling fast. They were probably just a couple of handfuls left for consumption. Meanwhile the hunger of the giants outside of his prison seemed to slow down. The rate of the godly hands slowed down from scooping to picking up a few pieces at a time. Finally, it seemed like their hunger was sated, for neither of the hands returned to select another piece of popcorn for food. Mike was still on edge even though it seemed the danger was gone. He just watched his best friend get devoured by whoever it was that wouldn't stop stuffing their fat faces. How could two people consume so much food?

"You want the last bit," Jessica asked Sammy.

"You sure," Sammy replied.

"Yeah, I'm stuffed," Jessica said patting her stomach.

"Me too," Sammy said letting out a satisfied sigh.

"But..." Sammy said looking down at the last bit of food. Mike looked up in horror as Sammy eyed him like he knew that it was him, "I don't want any of it to go to waste..."

Sammy looked up back at the movie screen as he didn't even have to look at where the popcorn was now, and slowly reached into the bucket for the last scraps of food. Mike did everything he could to try and wiggle away but it wasn't happening. Sammy's enormous fingers opened up and grabbed Mike and the last handful of popcorn and slowly brought them out into the world and toward his mouth. Mike could see that Sammy wasn't even paying attention to him as he was too enticed with what was going on behind Mike. Mike couldn't believe it, this was the end for him. The gigantic mouth didn't open until the last second. The mouth slowly opened and Mike could see the pillars of teeth that lined the inside of Sammy's mouth. Sammy seemed to be taking his time as he shoved the last of the remaining popcorn into his face. Mike was assaulted by the intense heat and smell of butter and slimy saliva that coated everything in the mouth. Mike watched as Sammy slowly closed his mouth still too absorbed into the film to pay him any mind. The light from the screen that let Mike see what was going on slowly dimmed due to Sammy closing his mouth. Pieces of popcorn were already turning to mush or were caught under Sammy's teeth. They were slowly being pulverized as Mike heard them creaking and popping from the pressure being slowly applied to them. Mike was in the center of Sammy's mouth as all the saliva was slowly building up and washing the remains of his fellow food toward him into a big heaping pile of slush. Mike felt his body oozing off himself and joining his fellow mushy friends. Sammy finally closed his mouth and Mike felt the tongue under him deposit him on one of the teeth to be crushed into oblivion. Mike closed his eyes waiting for the crushing pain to being.

It all happened in a blink of an eye.

There was a terrifying moment on the screen which to Sammy's horror made him jump. This caused him to swallow everything in his mouth, chewed up or not, in Mike's cause unchewed. Sammy quickly gulped down the mouthful of food doing his best not to choke.

Mike felt his entire world shift as he was forced down the throat in a large rush of sloppy remains of popcorn sludge...

Sammy let out a mouthful screech as the killer on the screen popped out of nowhere. He had to swallow so he didn't choke on his food. On pure instinct, he reached out with both hands to find something to grab. On his left side, he grabbed Jessica's hand and the hand closest to him on his right... Lucas'. Sammy didn't even think about it as he held onto both their hands throughout the whole scene that kept scaring him until it finally ended. It wasn't until he settled down that he noticed who he was holding onto.

"Sorry," Sammy said letting go of both their hands. Sammy's heart was beating so fast, but not just because of the movie. He hoped that Lucas couldn't see how red his face was right now. Trying to calm down, Sammy reached into the popcorn bucket out of habit only to find that it was empty. That's right, Sammy just realized that he finished the food.

Mike was deposited on a mound of mush in a large humid cave. It didn't help that he could feel the heat seeping into his core. Mike was realizing that the fluff that covered him slide off him a while ago when he was swallowed leaving him bear as a popcorn kernel. Yet the heat in this chamber, made it feel like he was about to pop. As Mike tried to look around he noticed a blue glow in the distance.

"Brandon," Mike called out.

"Miiiiike," Came a groan as the light moved closer.

Mike was glade that Brandon found a way to move. Maybe there was hope for them now. Yet as the light slowly came closer, Mike knew something was wrong. He could hear a pained voice as the light slowly revealed Brandon as a normal person, only giving off a blue glow. Mike was going to ask how he was like that when he noticed his body. It wasn't in the best shape. Brandon limped over as part of his body looked like it was melting off. Almost as if he were a piece of chocolate in an oven. One of his arms was drooping as if any second it would fall off his body. His face was in a grimace showing that he could feel what was happening to him.

"What's going on," Mike asked when Brandon was near him.

In a weak and painfilled voice Brandon managed to answer his question. "I... don't know. I woke up like this.... I don't know how long... I can last."

"Hang on Brandon, there's got to be a way out," Mike said as he looked around the dimly light cavern. There was a gurgling sound in the distance and the chamber started to vibrate a little. "What was that, an earthquake," Mike asked.

"Di...digestion..." Brandon said slumping down into the mush around him.

"Brandon," Mike called out unable to help him. Brandon didn't respond to Mike as he kept trying to encourage him to get up. To Mikes horror he watched Brandon's body slowly melt into a blue puddle until there was nothing solid of him left, and then the light that came from his body started to fade to nothingness. "BRANDON!"

Silence. Brandon was gone, and Mike was next.

Finally, Sammy said to himself as the credits started to roll up. He couldn't take anymore scares. He tried his best to calm his rapidly beating heart from that last jump scare at the end where the killer jumped up when everyone thought he was dead. Just as Sammy was about to get up Jessica decided now would be a good time to announce her excitement for the film. Sammy was completely caught off guard when Jessica shouted out, "That was awesome!"

Sammy let out a yelp as he jumped away from Jessica and grabbed the nearest thing, Lucas.

"Jessica," Sammy pouted.

"Sorry," She said laughing, "I just get really pumped after a good horror film."

Lucas laughed, "I know me too. Oh, and Sammy, can I have my hand back?"

Sammy let go as fast as he could. "Sorry ... again." Sammy's heart was still beating fast, but not because of the movie.

"That part where the killer used that ax to..." Jessica started to list her highlights to the film while Lucas pointed out his favorite parts. Sammy couldn't help but think of the time where he was able to hold onto Lucas as his favorite part...

After they left the theater, Lucas offered to drive everyone home.

"You sure," Jessica asked as she lived off from the others.

"Yeah, I'll drop you off first then Tiffany and then Sammy. Besides what kind of friend would I be to let you guys walk home? Besides it's getting dark, it's safer this way."

Jessica thanked Lucas as she and Sammy followed Tiffany and Lucas to his car. They all jumped in and Lucas started the car up. He drove to Jessica's house first and dropped her off. "Thanks, I had a blast. I'll see you all at school Monday," Jessica told them.

Everyone said bye as Jessica left the car and went inside. Once she was gone, Lucas pulled away from her house and headed to Tiffany's house. It wasn't too far from Jessica's and Tiffany did kind of the same goodbye as Jessica, only she kissed Lucas goodbye and headed inside. Once she was gone Lucas turned around, "You want to join me up front?"

"Ok," Sammy said as he got into the front passenger's seat. Lucas waited until Sammy was buckled up before leaving and headed to Sammy's house. It was probably a good 10 minutes away.

As they were driving back Lucas started to talk to Sammy, "Sorry."

"Sorry for what," Sammy asked confused.

"The movie," Lucas told him. "I forgot you hate horror films, I just got caught up in the moment. Jessica asked about the film and next thing I knew we were making plans."

"It's fine," Sammy told Lucas.

"Next time you pick the movie," Lucas told him.

"I don't mind seeing horror films," Sammy told him. "Especially if I have someone like you to protect me," Sammy said jokingly.

Lucas laughed, "I don't know about that, if a crazy ax murdering man came after us, I'm out of there. You guys are on your own, I've seen enough horror films to know that."

Sammy laughed, "That's so mean. You would leave me?"

"Yep, in a heartbeat," Lucas said smiling.

"Well thanks a lot, just when I thought you were my hero," Sammy said rolling his eyes at Lucas.

Once Lucas stopped laughing he said, "No but seriously, you can pick the next film."

Sammy smiled, "Ok, but it's going to be a musical."

Lucas groaned, "A musical?"

"Yep," Sammy said still smiling.

"Have mercy on me," joked Lucas.

"Nope, there is no mercy for you," Sammy grinned at him.

They continued to joke around and talk. It was like they were back in middle school and were sharing secrets and jokes about whatever came to their mind. It wasn't long before Sammy was home and Lucas pulled up to his house. Sammy was loving the time spent with Lucas and didn't want it to end. Then suddenly a thought popped into his head, should he talk to Lucas about how he felt?

"Alright, I'll see you later Sammy," Lucas said as unlocked the door for Sammy to get out.

"Thanks," Sammy said as he got ready to leave. Sammy closed the door and was about to walk away. "Hey Lucas," Sammy asked.

"Yeah what's up?"

"I..." I love you... no he couldn't say that. What did he say? How did he say it? Should he just blurt it out and run? Stay and see what he says? What if he doesn't feel the same? What would he think of him? What about Tiffany?

"I..." Sammy couldn't.

"I'll see you later," Sammy said quickly and settling with just that as he quickly left and ran inside.

Lucas frowned as he watched Sammy turn red in the face and ran inside. What was that about? Shrugging it off, Lucas drove home...

Sammy ran into his room and closed the door. He couldn't help but run to his bed and grab a pillow and squeeze it. How could he just chicken out like that? But Sammy couldn't help it. He just couldn't confess to Lucas.

Suddenly there was knock on his door, "Sammy," His mom called.

"Come in," Sammy said still lying on his bed holding a pillow.

"Is everything ok," His mom asked.

"I couldn't tell him," Sammy said.

"Oh baby," She said trying to comfort him. "It's ok."

"I wanted to," Sammy said. "I wanted to tell him so bad but... I love our friendship as it is now." Sammy said starting feel tears to form.

"Well," Sammy's mom said. "Maybe that's not a bad thing?"

Sammy paused, "What do you mean?"

His mom started to rub his back to calm him, "Maybe... maybe it's best if you wait. You shouldn't rush things like this. I know it's confusing for you, your growing up so fast and you're not sure about your feelings. Maybe what you need right now is a close friend? Someone who is a good friend." Then Sammy's mom said, "You said there was someone else, right?"

Sammy nodded slowly.

"Why not get to know him? You never know, maybe you might like him back? There is no harm in seeing if you like him back, right?"

Sammy thought about it. Should he? As Sammy thought it over a little bit his mom stood up.

"Now, why don't you come downstairs. I made your favorite, for dinner," His mom told him.

Sammy couldn't help but perk up at the mention of his mom's cooking. Smiling he headed down stairs to join his mom. After dinner, his mom brought out a tub of Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. She said she got it just in case something did happen. Now she didn't want it to go to waste. So, they sat down and ate ice cream together and watched a movie. It wasn't long till they both went to bed.

Sammy yawned as he woke up Sunday morning. Stretching he slowly woke up for the day. As he got out of bed he felt the familiar feeling he usually got of having to go to the bathroom in the morning. Getting out of bed, Sammy headed to the bathroom and started to do his morning routine...

Mike didn't know where he was. He woke up after what felt like an eternity of time passing unfamiliar with where he was. Events of what he last remembered ran through his mind as he remembered the chamber where he was trapped, and that of his best friend dying starting. Then the chamber started to slowly empty dragging whatever was in the chamber into a new area. He was pulled into a long thin tube and was assaulted by ragging heat and biting acid that caused him to eventually pass out.

Now he was trapped. It was like someone buried him in a pile of sand or mud, and he wasn't able to move. That intense heat was still there slowly baking him alive. Unable to see, Mike had to use his other senses to figure out where he was. By the sound of it he figured he was still inside someone, but where? He could barely feel much as he was too unable to move around, and even if he could the pressure told him he was stuck. That left taste and smell... or whatever you would call it when you didn't have a nose or mouth but still could pick up on things like that. What he found out he regretted even trying, as a reeking smell and flavor filled his senses of taste and smell. He would have vomited if he could, but as a popcorn kernel, one couldn't really throw up. Mike waited for something to happen but time just slowly ticked by as he was still stuck in the same situation. Then there was a monstrous growl and it felt like a mini earthquake as everything vibrated from the noise. Mike was scared of what that sound could possible mean. It wasn't long until there were other noises he could hear but it all sounded muffled. Just as Mike was beginning to wonder what was going to happen, he started to move.

"What's happening," Mike asked out loud getting no response.

As Mike moved along slowly thing started to speed up as Mike felt himself being dragged along with everything. Suddenly Mike was assaulted by light and suddenly he felt cold water wash over him. Mike wasn't able to see very well yet but he was thankful for cool refreshing water swarm him after being cooked alive by that insane heat he had to endure. As his vision came back he was wondering why all he could see was white and water. That was until he slowly looked up and saw why.

"Oh shit..." Mike said again and realized what kind of shit he was in. Actual shit...

Mike saw through the water above and saw where he just came out of, and things became clear where he was. He was in the bottom of a toilet, stuck in someone's waste. This couldn't possibly be happening, Mike thought to himself as he tried to move or dislodge himself form the heavy mass he was attached to but found he was just as stuck as he always had been. Before he knew it, another object came crashing down from the sky darkening his vision from the outside world. It was another mass of leftovers that the giant above him didn't need, as it collided with the water. Mike cried out as he watched the mass drop down near him. This was what his life had come to?

As to answer the giant above him deposited a few sheets of paper that floated above the surface of the water. The paper floated apart just enough for his vision to see through the surface of the water. He could look up and watch the giant stand above him and look down at him with uncaring eyes.

"Just flush me already,' Mike screamed at him with defiance.

But the giant didn't... he kept looking at the water and almost as if was looking straight at Mike. Did he recognize him? Was this his savior?

Suddenly Mike's vision was blurred out as a yellow color stream collided with the crystal-clear water and started to darken the water into an amber color. Mike cried out as the water turned dark and started to heat up. That dreadful searing heat that Mike despised so much returned but this time as the water warmed up to the temperature of the liquid. There was an awful salty and piss like flavor that filled his entire being. The urine all around him just solidified what he really was, just a piece of waste about to be flushed.

Mike just wished that whatever kind of hell this was, would end soon.

Unfortunately for Mike, he would soon learn that this was just the begin of his new life...

After Sammy finished downing his business he flushed the toilet not even thinking twice about it as he went on about his day, just like any other morning.

Heading down stairs he met his mom who was making breakfast for both of them. Grabbing a plate, Sammy loaded it up with some food and headed to his seat to fill his empty stomach. Sammy's day was like any other Sunday. He caught up with homework, did some chores around the house, watched some Tv, and then finally it was bed time. Sammy set his alarm clock for the morning and started to head to bed.

As Sammy closed his eyes he couldn't help but think about Lucas and how he felt toward him.

Just as Sammy was about to go fall asleep he felt a weird tingling sensation run through his body. "I wish Lucas loved me," Sammy prayed drifting off to sleep.
