Cindy x Tommy

Cindy x Tommy is the het ship between Cindy Berman and Thomas "Tommy" Slater from the Fear Street fandom.

Canon
Cindy and Tommy were both residents of Shadyside. Sometime before 12 July 1978, they entered a romantic relationship. They were both counsellors at Camp Nightwing in July 1978. When they were sent to clean the camp's toilets, they found weird red moss. Cindy unsuccessfully attempted to clean the red moss. They then made out. However, when the making out grew more intimate, Cindy stopped Tommy and went to go find fellow counsellors Alice and Arnie in order to ask them to do their duties.

Later, she and Tommy were sent to clean the mess hall. As they cleaned, she began to vent her frustrations to him, resulting in her accidentally splitting her cleaning sponge in half. However, Nurse Lane walked into the mess hall wielding a knife. She told Tommy that she had seen his name on a wall and that he would be dying tonight. She then lunged at him with the knife, which was soon knocked out of her hands as Cindy watched on in horror. Tommy then knocked her out on one of the benches, after which she was taken to the hospital. Tommy and Cindy were then interviewed by a police officer.

Later that evening, Cindy took Tommy to the nurse's cabin in order to look for clues as to why Nurse Lane acted the way she did. While there, they ran into Alice and Arnie, who were about to steal some drugs, now that Nurse Lane was gone. Alice then found a book on witchcraft and Sarah Fier's curse, and began reading the book out loud. She then found a map hidden inside the book, with various locations having been marked by Nurse Lane. She then discussed the map with Cindy, Tommy and Arnie, and they realised that the camp was built on the same location as Union, the 17th-century settlement with eventually split into Shadyside and Sunnyvale. When they noticed a spot on the map marked "Sarah Fier", Alice and Arnie ran out to explore the location. However, just as they were about to leave, Tommy noticed a voice calling out to him. Cindy then broke him out of his spell, and they chased after Alice and Arnie.

When they reached the location, they notice that someone, presumably Nurse Lane, had been digging about the area. They deduced that Nurse Lane was trying to find Sarah Fier's hand, which according to the book, would end the curse when reunited with Fier's body. While looking around the area, they found a staircase leading underground, which Alice quickly went down, followed by the rest. While down there, they found the Witch's Mark, which was said to be where Fier cut off her hand and made a deal with the devil. Alice and Cindy also found a wall with the names of all of the killers of Shadyside past, as well as Tommy. The two then turned around to Tommy sticking an axe into Arnie's head. Alice and Cindy then fled further into the tunnels, and were separated from Tommy due to a cave-in, which also prevented them from using the staircase to exit the tunnels.

Later, a possessed Tommy found fellow counsellor Gary and Cindy's sister Ziggy trying to rescue Cindy and Alice from the tunnels beneath the bathroom. He then beheaded Gary as Ziggy escaped. Cindy later emerged from the tunnels at the mess hall just as Tommy was about to hack Ziggy to death. Cindy then stabbed Tommy in the chest repeatedly. When Ziggy bled on Sarah Fier's hand, Tommy was revived and killed Alice before an enraged Cindy could decapitate him with a shovel.

Tommy was among the various revived killers who approached Cindy and Ziggy as they dug for Sarah Fier's body under the tree from which she was hung. Cindy then decided she would distract the killers in order to allow Ziggy to escape. Cindy attacked Tommy with a shovel before he hacked her to death as Ziggy was stabbed by Harry Rooker, the milkman killer.
