Joanne stood in front of the posters. She didn't know anything about these movies except one was a cartoon and some where funny. She fiddled with her outfit. She had wanted to look nice and now thought she looked weird. Her skirt, boots, and top all seemed to look a different color shade now that she was out of her house. She tugged at her skirt lightly to press it down. She didn't remember it being so short either.
"Crap." She muttered to herself.

Caroline rushed down the streets, glancing down at her watch as she went. She was sure that she was going to be late. That another fight with her mother was going to ruin everything. But she seemed to be doing ok one time. Caroline looked down at her outfit, hoping that she looked ok. She was wearing her nice pair of corodery brown pants and a white peasent top. In her ears, she had plain gold dangling hoops. Caroline brushed her hair behind her ear.
"Joanne!" Caroline called waving her hand as she got closer to the theatre. "Hey, you look real nice."

Joanne's head came up when she hear Caroline call her. "Hey." She called warmly. She waited for Caroline to catch her breath. "I think you look really pretty." She told her. "I love your earrings." She pressed her skirt one last time, hoping it would decide not to try and ride up her legs again.
"Well you said you liked horror movies, and I think The Reaping is suppose to be scary...at least by the poster. I'm sorry I know virtually nothing about the movies." She grinned weakly. "That one starts in about fifteen minutes though, if you wanted to catch that one. All else I can tell you is it's funny or a cartoon." She said with a laugh.

"Hi!" Caroline waved and ran up to her. "Oh thanks, Joanne," She said putting her hands on the earring and then letting them fall to her sides.
"Usually the posters can be telling..." Caroline looked over at the poster and nodded. "Looks horrory to me. That would be awesome. But...you know if you don't wanna get scared I don't want you to force yourself. I mean...I'll be there. But that might not help with nightmares and such." She pointed out pushing her purse up higher in her shoulder. "If you'd rather the funny or cartoon we could do that too."

"Nah." Joanne said with a laugh. "I usually don't spaz out to badly at horror movies." she grinned. "Though I have to admit, when I was little I saw Jaws and wouldn't take a bath cause I was pretty sure a shark would come through the drain." She laughed. She held out her hand, hoping Caroline would take it.
"Would you like snacks? I was thinking I'd get some popcorn and a soda. I could get a big one and we could share if you want to."

"Oh ok. Well if you spaz, then let me know and I'll try to despazz you," Caroline said with a wink. "Aw really? Oh poor baby Joanne. I hope you've gotten over that...or I guess it doesn't matter as long as you can shower or something," She giggled taking Joanne's hand when it was offered to her.
Caroline nodded. "That's a good idea. Can we get a root beer to share too?"

"Ah yes I'll take a bath, but I won't go into the ocean or a lake or anywhere I can't see where my feet are going." She shrugged. "Despazz me?" Joanne laughed. "Is that a word?" She linked her fingers through Caroline's and headed to the empty line. She got two tickets, before moving towards the doors.
"Root beer? Sure that would be fine. Do you like butter on your popcorn?" She asked.

"Oh really?" Caroline asked. "Then I wouldn't be the Abyss. That was a pretty freaky movie...and I'm not too scared of horror movies but wow. And it's underwater...which is why I said to watch out." She grinned and nodded. "It is now!" She glanced down at their hands. It was real nice. Just to hold her hand.
"Butter would be good. As much as you want," Caroline replied as she shifted through her purse so she could get her wallet out.

Joanne thought it was interesting that they were standing there holding hands and not one person had looked at them twice. She wandered up the to snack bar before regrettably letting go of Caroline's hand. "Do you want candy to go with it?" Joanne asked, digging for her wallet. "They have a special where you get a medium popcorn, a candy and a large drink." That would be good for them. Even the medium popcorn looked huge, and if they were going to share a drink a few extra bucks would get them a bit of candy to go with it.

Caroline hummed happily to herself. This night was going to be spectacular. She just knew it. "Yeah, yeah. Sure that's fine. Umm...I'll take anything other than...minty thins. Thin mints. I'm not fond of those. I can only do candy canes. That's it." She shivered and stuck her tongue out of her mouth as if she was disgusted.
"Ok so...how are we going to work this..." Caroline pulled out her money and revealed that she only had a ten and a five.

"I'll get it." Joanne offered "Maybe later this week or next week we can go for ice cream." She said suggesting that would even anything out. "Yeah I can't eat gummy worms or anything that's overly gummy. M&M's?" She questioned. Most people liked M&M's, in fact the people she ran into that didn't even them where either somehow allergic or didn't care to much for candy. Joanne admitted, she had a sweet tooth.

"Ok sure. Just as long as I pay for the ice cream," Caroline said with a nod and placed her wallet back into her purse. "And that would be fun anyway. We could go find that lady you talked about," She pointed out with a giggle. "Oh yeah M&M's are fine. Is the gummy stuff bad for you teeth or something? Or you just don't like it. Chocolate covered gummy bears are my weakness."

"Ok." Joanne agreed, when Caroline said M&Ms were fine and asked about why she didn't eat Gummy snacks, she made a slight face. "I just don't like the taste of them." She told her. "To chewy and I feel like I have to work way to hard to get the candy." She laughed shaking her head. She placed the order for the meal and was handing the overly large items.
"Wow, this is crazy. Look at the size of their large drink!" She wasn't sure if it would fit in the cup holder.

"Oh really?" Caroline asked with a small smile. "I can kinda understand that. It is kinda work now that I think about it. Kinda like chewing on rubber bands. I love chocolate covered gummi bears though. They're my weakness...for furture reference. Kidding of course." She said waving her hand.
"Wow that is big!" Caroline said raising her eyebrows. "My bladder is trembling in fear..."

"Chocolate covered gummi bears. I'll make a note." Joanne teased. In her mind however she did note that is what Caroline liked, and how to get her out of trouble if she should someone manage to land in it. Not that she planned too.
Joanne laughed when Caroline said her bladder was trembling with fear and had to readjust her grip or she would drop it all over the floor, shaking her head she held out the candy and soda. "Hey hold this for a second while I get the better would you?"
