*Wil and Tay walk into a dimly lit movie theatre*

Tay: *carrying a bucket of popcorn (with no butter :P) and a drink* Cool! Hehe, no one else is here yet. *snickers* Let's sit here, in the back.
Wil: *digs into a box of Milk Duds with one hand* What did you say? *stuffs his mouth with three pieces*

*people start filtering in all of a sudden*

Tay: *pouts* Uhm, nevermind. Just follow me. *sits down*
Wil: *takes a few seconds to figure out that the seat cushion needs to be pushed down before he can sit* Hey, this is fascinating! *pushes the seat cushion down and watches it spring back up* *repeats the process over and over*

*people's heads turn*

Tay: Uh, stop that, dear.
Wil: *makes a pouty face and sits down next to Tay* So what do we do now? I've never been to a movie theatre before.
Tay: *cough* Well, see that big white rectangle?
Wil: *nods happily and chews* *digs into his box of Milk Duds*
Tay: Well, soon moving pictures will appear on it, and there'll be sounds too, so a movie is like reading a story except you're seeing it happen through the moving pictures instead of through words. And we get to sit here and watch the story and eat our snacks.
Wil: If the movie's boring can we leave early?
Tay: No, that would be rude. We'll just have to, you know, find something else to do.
Wil: *stops chewing* *glares*
Tay: *coughs* What'd I say?

*people continue to come inside* *the movie screen lights up*

Wil: *chews and points wildly* Hey, what's that?
Tay: Uhm, heheh, that's a commercial for the Holiday Inn. You see, the movie hasn't started yet. These pictures are just to pass the time till the movie actually starts.
Wil: Ohhh... *pulls another box of Milk Duds out of his pocket and starts digging* So what's the movie about?
Tay: *stares* It's called Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. It's a really cool story, and based on a true happening and stuff, but I don't want to tell you what it's about, cause that would ruin the surprises...

*the movie starts* *thirty minutes later*

Tay: *whispers* Isn't this great, Wil? ... Wil?
Wil: *leaning his head on Tay's shoulder, with candy stains on his mouth* SNOOOOORE...
Tay: So much for trying to "entertain" him.
Eretria: *bursts into the theatre on a big horse, disrupting the movie and the audience* You! Yeah, YOU! Whaddaya think you're doing with MY man?
Tay: *shrugs* What you're not. *raspberries Eretria*
Eretria: *jumps off the horse* You brat! Prepare to die, scum! *draws out a long, curved dagger*
Tay: EEP!
everyone else in the theatre: EEP!
Wil: SNOOOOORE...
Amberle: *runs in gasping and stands next to Eretria to glare at Tay* You! Yeah, YOU! Whaddaya think you're doing with MY man?
Eretria: Stop copying me! And Wil is MY man, you... you treehugging pointy-eared hussy!
Tay: Uhm...
Amberle: Oh, come off it, you, you oversexed piece of Rover trash!
Eretria: *shrieks* How dare you, you snooty little princess!

*Amberle and Eretria fight... cartoon-style that is, with a huge dust cloud around them*

Tay: *shrugs and turns his attention back to the movie, putting an arm around the sleeping Wil*
Wil: SNOOOOORE...

DA END!!!
