Author's Note: Ficlet for the LiveJournal alias100 challenge. August 12's subject: movies. This is my first 100-word drabble for this fandom, and it took a lot of shaving and shameless stringing together of words to make it all fit.

Disturbance

By Trisana McGraw

"This'll be good. I hope; I don't go to many movies. I see movies, but I'm a stay-at-home-go-to-NetFlix.com guy. What's this about? I can't remember. Mind's blank. Funny, machines blank out under pressure. Is it hot?"

"It's a drive-in movie. Outside. In fall."

"Oh. Want my jacket?"

". . . Sure. Marshall?"

"Yes, Ms. Bowman?"

"You can call me Kerry."

"Okay . . . Kerry."

"Remember that M&M's commercial, where the guy keeps talking at the movie?"

". . . Oh. I'm that guy. You gonna throw an M&M at me?"


"I want you to be quiet, but there's a better way."

Marshall's mouth became busy with other things.
