The Stu and Tatum Relationship was the relationship between Stu Macher and Tatum Riley.
Background[]
After the opening of Scream (1996 film), Tatum is first seen when Sidney arrives at Woodsboro High. Stu is first seen in front of the water fountain talking with Sidney, Tatum, Randy, and Billy. They discussed the murders of Casey Becker and Steven Orth whom they were all acquainted with at school.
Randy brought up some controversy of Stu being dumped by Casey when she started dating Steven, which made Tatum think how they really begun to date. Stu assures her that she was correct when she says, "I thought you left her for me?" and deemed Randy crazy. Randy then points out if the police were aware he dated Casey. Tatum defends him by saying he was with her last night, and Stu agrees, "Yeah, I was". Although Stu is actually one of the killers, Tatum is unaware of this, as he probably went to Tatum's house after killing Casey and Steve to have an alibi, just as Billy did as he went to Sidney's house later that night.
While in the hall at Tatum's locker, Sidney, Tatum and Stu are talking. Tatum is attempting to hush Stu over some tactless things he's saying when Sidney asks him where Billy is. He says replying to Sidney asking if Billy is pissed, "What? After you branded him as the Candyman. No, his heart is broken." Tatum pushes him in the chest as he says that. As the pranks happen in the hallway, Tatum shakes her head with Stu entertained and says, "Stupidity leak!" as she taps his head with her lollipop from her locker.
Stu meets them outside of school as it is suspended. Stu acts juvenile about school being canceled thus being a bit insensitive to Sidney's attacks, making Tatum tell him to "drop it, Stu." Stu then scoops Tatum over his shoulder and says he is going to throw a party knowing she will want to go. Tatum pleads Sidney to go with them to the party promising that Billy won't be there. Sidney soon agrees after. Stu tells them to grab food before he goes in his own direction toward his home to set up for it.
Stu throws the party. At the party, he tells Tatum to get some beers out of the garage knowing Billy would be there waiting to attack her. She scoffs saying "What am I, the beer wench?" and doesn't move. The commotion of Gale Weathers arriving unexpectedly to their party irritates her and she leaves the room, deciding to get the beers. When trying to get out of the garage, she finds the door closed and locked behind her. She opens the garage to get out. As she tries to get out, the garage door closes back. She looks and finds Ghostface with his hand on the door. She teases him thinking it's a joke, but later finds that she is in danger. She fends the killer off, but tries to escape through the pet-door that is attached to the garage door. Ghostface lifts the garage door killing Tatum while she is still struggling to free herself.
Later, when Ghostface is on the loose, Stu accuses Randy of killing Tatum just to gain Sidney's momentary trust for Dewey's gun to take control. Their relationship obviously ended after Tatum was murdered by Ghostface. If she'd been alive, she'd be enemies with Stu and Billy and attempting to survive with Sidney and Randy.
