Buy Me Some Peanuts and Crackerjacks (Zoe, eventually Trey)
It was Opening Day at Papp Stadium. Spring was in the air, the Star City Rockets were going up against the Central City Stars, and GK Walker was giddy.
He'd gone to meet Zoe, enough makeup on his cheek to cover the now-healing cut, and now they were walking toward the stadium. "Maybe I should get a car," he said, thinking aloud.

"When you mention vampires and Bela, and people don't know you mean Legosi, film culture is truly dead," GK says sadly.

"You ever read that Ric Madoc story they released from the mental hospital? About the weregoldfishwolf?" Pause. "Or does my mother just collect really obscure books?"

Zoe made a face. "Twilight isn't about vampires. It's somebody not keeping their fantasies to themselves where they belong. Any vampire movie is better than those."

"Weregoldfishwolf? They ever make a movie about it? That I'd watch."

"That's the most obscure thing I've ever heard of. How would a weregoldfishwolf even /work/?" Trey asks, trying to imagine it in his head. Every imagine was so silly it made him laugh harder.

"Kristen Stewart is kinda cute, but I can't help but see her as Bella in anything I see her in now. It's like that movie has permanently marked her." Trey says.

"Well, he's a goldfish during certain phases of the moon, and he's a wolf during the full moon -- I think the aquarium doubled as a water dish. It was the author's first book after his big psycho-breakdown. They made a few movies of Madoc's early stuff, but none of his nuthouse work, no."

"Totally understand, man. Robert Pattinson was once reasonably handsome. Never, ever again."

"Guys, stop being guys for a second. The /story/ was crap. Twilight, not the weregoldfishwolf. What the actors looked like isn't the point."

"Well, of course the /story/ was terrible. In the absence of a terrible plot or story, you then have go for the looks of the actors to redeem it. If /that/ doesn't help, then there's no hope and you've got to call it a wash." Trey says.

"Although, it's multi-million dollar wash, so...yeah."

"The rest of us in between looking to watch a real movie are disappointed. We are /required/ at that point to make out in the back row of the theater."

Trey could not help but imagine making out with Zoe when she mentioned it. He then took a very long sip of his drink so as not to say something stupid to that comment.

Granted, it would have looked cooler if he'd taken the cap off the bottle first, but he realizes his mistake, uncaps the bottle and drinks.

"Okay, favorite movies, people. Go. O Brother, Where Art Thou?" Trey says.

GK blinks at Zoe's commentary. "Now that's a plan I'll have to instate if I ever acquire the right person to... help me instate it."

And was that a Zoe from Trey? It so was.

"Don't make me choose between Jedi and De-Lovely!"

"I like Zorro and Kill Bill. Both of them."

She rose from her seat to get another soda, stretching as she did. It seemed like they'd been sitting for hours, but she couldn't remember paying attention to any of the game.

"But if you had to choose between the two, which would it be?" Trey asks both of them.

"Ooh, Zorro's good." GK's been keeping his eye on the game, but he's mostly gotten engrossed in the conversation.

"...Return of the Jedi. Under Protest."

"You know...I've never really seen the big appeal of Star Wars. I'm bigger on Star Trek, Babylon 5 and BSG." Trey says.

"And now I feel like dork because I've never seen Zorro." he says.

"I like Trek. BSG's a bit past my 'watch as we slowly screw people over' threshhold. But you should see Zorro sometime, man. It's great. Classic story, action, and plenty of eye candy."

Zoe wrinkled her nose. Science fiction wasn't her thing. Her world was crazy enough without escaping into a crazy futuristic one. "It's easy to find on disk."

"Yeah, I'll probably stop by the video store on the way home and pick it up, then. Sounds like it might be a fun night." Trey says.

And suddenly, GK's squealing like a schoolgirl at a rock concert. The Rockets just made a winning catch a little ways below them.

Zoe grinned at GK's excitement.

"You can borrow mine," she offered Trey under the noise. "No reason to buy or rent it."

"You're welcome to accompany the movie and make sure it gets back safe." Trey says, with a slight smile.

"Are you asking me in to see a movie?" Zoe countered with a slight smile of her own.

Want a piece of candy, little girl? She stifled a laugh. "What kind of candy?"
