Deena x Kate

Deena x Kate is the femslash ship between Deena Johnson and Kate Schmidt from the Fear Street fandom.

Canon
Both Deena and Kate were residents of the town of Shadyside, where in every few years, a seemingly normal citizen would suddenly "snap" and become a murderer. They both attended Shadyside High School. Sometime prior to the events of the film, Deena, Kate and Simon Kalivoda became close friends. They were band members. After Deena broke up with her girlfriend Sam, they met in the bathroom, where Kate told Deena that they would not be helping her with her relationship issues as those were her own to deal with. Instead, Simon began to joke about the recent Shadyside Mall Killings which resulted in their schoolmate Heather's death. Kate then showed her that she had begun to deal drugs, and that she would use the money to escape Shadyside.

Prior to a Gridiron football match between Sunnyvale High and Shadyside High, the band was taken to the site of the match on order to cheer for the Shadyside team. However, while there, a brawl broke out between the Shadyside and Sunnyvale students. While on the way back to Shadyside, Sunnyvale jock Peter, who was dating Sam, began to tailgate a bus of Shadyside students, which included Deena and Kate. In retaliation, Deena decided to throw a large cooler at them. However, she experienced a sudden nosebleed, causing her to lose her grip over the cooler and for Peter's car to crash. Everyone involved, including Deena and Kate, chose not to tell the police about the events that had occurred.

The next day, a fully-costumed figure began stalking Deena, Kate and Simon. They decided to head to the local hospital with Deena's brother Josh to visit Sam, believing the figure to be Peter. Josh, Kate and Simon waited by a vending machine while Deena confronted Sam. However, Sam and Deena soon ran past them, followed after by the figure, was was now wielding a knife. The figure ignored Kate, Simon and Josh, who began screaming. Later, after Simon was attacked by a girl with a razor, Sam, Deena, Kate and Josh met at Deena and Josh's home. When Josh heard Simon's description of the girl, he realised that she was Ruby Lane, a Shadyside killer from 1965. He then told them about the previous killers of Shadyside's past, as well as the legend of Sarah Fier. Sam then told the group that after the car crash, she had visions of Fier. The group then went to the site of the crash, where they found Fier's body. They then attempted to rid themselves of the curse by giving Fier a reburial. However, more revived killers appeared and attacked the group, forcing them to flee.

As they fled in an ambulance, they realised that the killers were targeting Sam. Kate and Simon were attacked as they had Sam's blood on their clothes. They then went to the school, where they changed their clothes and cleaned themselves of Sam's blood. While at the school, they used Sam's blood to lure all of the killers to the bathroom, where they would burn them. The killers then regenerated their incinerated bodies as the group escaped to a classroom. Kate then proposed that they sacrifice Sam. Deena attempted to shut the proposal down, but Sam agreed to the plan. However, Josh then learned through a newspaper clipping that in a previous massacre, there was a survivor who had seen the witch, just as Sam had. They realised that Berman had died, but was brought back to life through CPR, thereby freeing her from the curse. After learning about Berman, they unsuccessfully tried to contact her through a wall-mounted phone.

The group then travelled in the ambulance to the supermarket pharmacy where Simon worked. There, they gathered various pills for Sam to overdose on. Simon then explained what effect each and every pill would have. After Sam overdosed, they would revive her with adrenaline. As a distraction, Simon, Kate and Josh would run around the supermarket smeared with Sam's blood. However, Sam vomited out several pills, ruining the plan just as Torres attacked them. Kate then appeared and attacked Torres with a flamethrower, allowing both Deena and Sam to escape. However, soon after this, Kate was brutally murdered.
