"Sorry, you want some cheese sticks? We have left overs"

"Hell yeah!" Big grin! Chuck is a tall and strapping teen, and muscles need energy.

SHe hands him the bag "It was a freebie at the Pizza place. WOlf it down before someone complains about outside food"

He doesn't have to be told twice, and is chowing down.

She looks over "Thanks, Art."

He nods, cordially.

"Art, since you got pizza want me to get your ticket?"

He hesitates, then nods. "That sounds fair. Do you want some confections from the counter?"

"You ever try red hots? Especially with cherry coke..."

"Red... hots?" He nods. "I'll order them!"

Chuck is wiping off his hands after snarfing up the cheese sticks. "Okay, popcorn now! Gwen, let's share a bucket."

"Definitely.." She grins "Extra butter?"

"Popcorn too, please!"

And she crosses to get tickets, spirals shining back at the bright orangey-pink.

"Popcorn! Got it!" He gets in line, and soon joins, juggling 'red hots', two sodas, and a big tub of popcorn.

"I do not know if that orange sauce is actually 'butter', but it smells good."

Chuck looks at the single bucket of popcorn, and gives Gwen a bit of a knowing grin.

"I think I saw somewhere that it's, like, coconut oil? Now cows involved, fer damned sure." She takes some of the snacks to help.

"It might be butter flavored?" He takes a bite. "It's... salty. Good, though!"

"Let's find our seats."

"Great..." She falls in by Gwen and Chuck - keeping herself as the promised buffer between Art and the football player.

Chuck gazes over the nearly empty theatre - "Score! We can each take our own row. Here, Gwen will sit with me, and you two can sit together in the next row down. Y'know, so you can share popcorn."

Trina's cheeks flush.

"Oh, right. That... makes sense..."

"Sounds good"

The movie is starting! The teens all have their popcorn, drinks and snacks, and Gwen soon has an arm around her shoulders as well.

Popcorn is set between Art and Trina, and the latter shakes out a few red hots to offer. "They're spicy."

He takes a few, chews, and sips the soda... a cough!!

"There is NO true essence of cherries in this soda." He observes, but takes another sip.

"You must not fear the Spice."

"Yeah, no more cherry than that's butter - but still tasty!"

He stops mid slurp, and laughs!

Gwen chuckles leans overa nd whispers to Chuck "someone is having a good time. Smart moves by the way"

"Mm." Chuck leans in and catches her in a kiss!

Art, on the other hand, leans in... for more snacks.

.... it's a good movie!
