Double Vision
By Alice Potter
Nepeta clung to John's arm and pressed herself up against his body as he half-dragged her to George, Washington's local movie theater. A trend had swept across the human world recently: 3D movies. Technology had grown beyond the dopey red and blue glasses of years past, but George, Washington was a small town that appeared on no recent maps. As such, it had to make do with the lowly funds it had. The smallest part of that budget went into entertainment, hence the lack of any decent entertainment.
John purchased two tickets to "The Room," specifically in 3D. He ambled past the ticket booth, unable to walk at his normal brisk pace, because Nepeta was quite heavy for an animal that prided itself on only eating the finest-nothing was good enough for a cat. He picked up two sets of red and blue 3D glasses and placed a pair over his own (how else could he enjoy what is sure to be a great movie?), and pulled Nepeta off just long enough to situate her pair of glasses over her eyes, which were squeezed shut. The human world had too many things for her to take in at this particular period in time.
He lead her to the theater, clumsily of course. She refused to open her eyes, and John was no champion weightlifter, so he often felt a tug whenever the stubborn mewl (A/N: get it?) bumped into a wall. By the time he made it to the theater, the movie had just started.
He coaxed Nepeta into opening her eyes, and before her was quite the sight: Sollux vision! She'd be hearing voices from the dead soon, right?
Too bad the glasses didn't come with omniscience, then she would've known what she was in for. The movie was just Sollux arguing with Aradia, who cheated on him with Feferi. It was so bad, she tore herself apart.
At least John found it funny.
