A/N: I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Who's ready for the third segment of my "Ways to Annoy People" series? In this one, we've got Emily Prentiss doing some weird/annoying things in the theater. Clyde Easter is also with her. Anyway, if you want to know what happens, then you gotta read it.
Disclaimer: Emily, Clyde and any of the films that were mention in this chapter, do not belong to me, but Andrew/Gary is mine.

It was a beautiful Friday afternoon and Emily Prentiss was in her home in London, clearly bored out of her mind. She tried reading a book. She tried watching television. She even tried doing some yoga, but nothing could cure her boredom. Finally an idea came to her mind. Grabbing her cell phone from the kitchen counter, she dialed a number.
"Hello Clyde? It's me, Emily. ….. No, I'm fine. I was just wondering if you'd like to go see a movie with me? I'm paying. … No, I insist on paying. ….. Okay, great! I'll be at your place in thirty minutes!" Prentiss smiled as the call ended.
After calling Clyde, Prentiss then walked into her bedroom to change her clothes. It took her a few minutes to decide on what to wear. Putting on a pair of blue jeans with a red sweetheart neckline blouse and a pair of black heeled boots and sweeping her hair into a pony tail, Prentiss was satisfied with her look.
It was nearly 4:30 pm when Prentiss and Clyde arrived at the theater. The two of them chatted with each other as they waited in line to buy a couple of movie tickets.
"Emily, are you sure you don't want me paying for anything? Because I can." Clyde said.
"Yes, I am absolutely sure. I invited you, so I insist on paying for everything." Prentiss reassured him as she smiled.
"Well, alright then. If you insist." Clyde returned a smile to her.
When it was finally their turn to purchase the tickets, they were greeted by a young man with dark hair and green eyes. The man smiled at them as he spoke.
"Hi, how are you two?" The man asked.
"We're fine. Thanks for asking. Now we would like two tickets to "The Grapes Of Wrath." Prentiss received a strange look from both Clyde and the other man.
"Uh, Emily. I don't think…" Clyde was about to say something, before the other man interrupted him.
"I'm sorry ma'am, but we don't play classic films here. We only play new films here."
"But I wanted to watch a classic film!" Prentiss let out a fake whine.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know how I can help you." The man said.
Propping her elbows on the counter and resting her chin on top of her hands, Prentiss smiled at the man and said, "Listen Gary, can I call you Gary?"
"My name's Andrew."
"Well, you look more like a Gary. So that's what I'm going to call you. Alright, Gary, I've got a hundred dollar bill with your name on it and if you can allow my friend and I access to your little secret screening room here, then the cash is all yours. Do we have a deal?" Prentiss asked.
"There is no secret screening room here." Andrew said.
Prentiss held her head in defeat and Clyde and Andrew could have both sworn that she was crying. Not knowing what to do, Clyde awkwardly patted her back.
"Would you like me to recommend the films that are playing here?" Andrew asked, hoping to ease the already awkward situation.
"Yes, that would be great." Clyde said.
"We've got "Captain America: Winter Soldier," "Noah," "A Haunted House 2," "Oculus," "Heaven Is For Real," "Transcendence," and "The Quiet Ones." Would you like to see any of those?"
"What do you think Emily? Which one of those movies sounds good to you?" Clyde asked.
Prentiss raised her head and said, "Well, I suppose we could see "Captain America: Winter Soldier." I heard that's going to be a great film. So, might as well try it out." She then paid the money for the two tickets.
"Can I get you two anything else?" Andrew asked as handed them the tickets.
Prentiss looked at Clyde and asked, "Clyde, you want anything?"
"No thanks."
Prentiss then turned her attention back to Andrew and said, "Thank you for asking, but we don't need anything else."
"Alright, you two enjoy the film then." Andrew said.
When the two of them were out of earshot of Andrew, Clyde whispered to Prentiss, "Hey, are you feeling alright? What was that all about? That thing about wanting to see a classic film here?"
Prentiss grinned and said, "Oh, I just wanted to see what his reaction would be when I asked him that. Don't worry, I'm not crazy. I just want to have a little fun."
End of chapter one. So what did you all think of it? Don't worry, you can be honest about it. I promise I won't throw a fit if you say you hated it. I'll have chapter two up as soon as possible.
