"Ok…SO! What do you want to watch?"

Madeleine Harris and her friend Elizabeth Cook were in Madeleine's room deciding on what movie to watch. It was about eight o'clock on the first evening of Winter Break, and the two friends were savoring the first few moments of freedom with some hot Apple Cider, a large, fluffy comforter, extra buttery popcorn, and a good flick.

"I don't know, I'm in the mood for swords, Orlando Bloom, and excessive amounts of alcohol," Elizabeth replied cheerfully.

"Pirates?" Madeleine asked with a grin.

"Pirates. Anyway, how's high school going?" Liz replied.

"Eh, you know, it's pretty good, but I miss middle school. I'm just glad mid-terms are over," Madeleine said, getting up to get the DVD. Madeleine was a fourteen-year-old freshman, and Lizzie was a twelve-year-old sixth grader. They went to the same K-12 school, so they saw each other occasionally. They had become friends during a reading-buddies project when Madeleine was in fifth grade. Despite the age difference, the two were close friends.

After putting the DVD in the player, Madeleine grabbed the DVD remote from the top of the TV and began to press a few buttons. The TV turned on. Suddenly there was a loud clap of thunder.

"Yes! A thunder storm! That makes the movie so much scarier!" Liz cheered.

"Yeah, anyway did you bring you Idog?" Madeleine asked while trying to find how to work the TV. She wasn't the biggest fan of thunder storms ever since being locked outside of her house in the middle of one when she was five.

"Yeah, let me find it," Lizzie said. She rummaged through her bag until she found it. Then she brought it over to the futon bed where they were sleeping and watching the movie for when the movie finished. Madeleine got the DVD's menu up and got ready to press play.

"Oh, and before we start, no saying the lines unless it's the rum scene," Liz said in business like voice because she knew they were both going to recite nearly ever single line anyway.

"Okay, let's just start," Madeleine the pressed play and they both got ready for three hours of laughing sword fights and of course RUM!
