Cinematic Adventures


At the following day, a Saturday, Dora woke up late and found Basillia sitting at the couch, still and quiet. "Oh, you're already awake".

Basillia slightly moved her head pointing her ears to her "Oh, yeah, I slept well, but I woke up early so I came here to think a little". She was wearing her fluffy looking pajamas, red with blue clouds on it, with the first two buttons unbuttoned, leaving a hint that she wans't wearing a bra.

Dora shaked her head "What I'm I thinking? Get ahold of yourserlf Dora" she tought.

Dora sat next to her "What you where thinking of?" she concentrated on Basillia's glasses, which made her think about how little would take for her to be turned to stone while doing that. It would only need to take off Basillia's glasses and ZAP! (at least she imagined it as a "zap" sound) she'd be a stone statue like those they put on square's benches for tourists to take pics with. "That's kinda morbid, but at least keeps me from thinking about her tits" she tought. In fact she cought herself thinking what color would Basillia's eyes be. "I bet they're honeyed, It would look good on her".

"... Are you staring at me?" Basillia suddenly asked.

"... What? What do you mean?" Dora was startled, how could she know that?

"I'm feeling shivers, like there's a predator creeping at me" her shoulders trembled apparently unwittingly as she explained "we kinda sense these things, as we can't really rely on our eyes, we have good hearing but anything hepls".

Dora felt it was better to say the truth. At least most of it. "Oh, sorry, I really am, I was just looking into your glasses and thinking what color would your eyes be".

Basillia seemed surprised, but then she said, bitterly "Bet you think they're red and demonic, or something like that".

Dora was startled once again "On the contrary, I acctually thought they'd be honeyed, that it would look good on you" she said matter-of-factly.

Basillia seemed surprised again, in a good way this time. And she blushed. "Well... To be sincere, I don't know how they are like as well, I don't know whether or not I can look at myself in the mirror without... You know...".

That made Dora think "So, you never looked at yourself in the mirror?".

Basillia shook her head negatively.

"Never seen a photo of yourself, nothing?" Dora asked.

"No, never. I know a little about how I look like, from touching my face and all, but no, never seen it" she answered.

"Wow" said Dora, thinking about the time she would spend looking at herself in the mirror, so that she'd be sure everything was in order with her disguise "It's kinda weird to think about how it would be to not know exectly how I look like".

"You get used to it" said Basillia, also metter-of-factly "Weirdest thing yet is to imagine everyone else, not knowing how everyone else looks like is kinda wierd, the few people who ever let me look or touch to get a hint to how they look like never came any close to my imagination".

That gave Dora na idea.

"Well if you want, I can close my eyes so you can take your glasses off and see me" she said.

Basillia blushed "I was kinda hoping to touch, but this is also good" thought the Basilisk girl "If it's ok for you...".

"It is" Dora smiled "I have my eyes closed now, you can just take them off".

With her eyes closed, Dora felt movement in the couch as Basillia removed her glasses.

"Ahn... I'm not really blind, but I can't see very well because of all the time blindfolded, so..." she swallowed before continuing "Can I get closer to you?".

Dora blushed as well "Well why the hell not?".

She heard Basillia giggling, and then she felt the heat of the Basilisk girl's body closing in, her heavy breath into her face.

Dora had to work very hard to contain her wish to open her eyes, longing to see Basillia up close.

She felt Basillia's thighs touching hers as she was closing in, keeping her hands to herself was being hard on her as well.

"I could swear she's just looking close into my face, trying to decide whether or not it'd be a good idea to kiss me" she thought literally licking her lips.

That's when they heard movement upstairs.

"Oh, quick put your glasses back, I think that's Wolf" said Dora.

She immediately missed Basillia's heat as the Basilisk girl backed off.

As she thought, it was Wolfgang walking down the stairs.

"Hey sis, Kinshi invited me to the cinema today, what say you? Wanna come?" Wolfgang asked while still halfway down.

As he found himself at the end of the steps, he saw Dora and Basillia, both blushed, in the couch.

He took his seconds to talk again "I'm not gonna ask what you're doing here, it's none of my business" he seemed more to be trying to persuade himself rather than informing the girls "Anyways, it's that new Warcraft movie you've been desperate to watch, so, wanna tag along?".

Dora almost yelled in joy, she was waiting for this movie for YEARS.

But then she remembered Basillia, and her condition.

"Sorry Wolf, I can't leave Basillia alone here" she apologized.

"No worries, she can come too" he said.

"To the movie theater? What would she suppose to do there? Sit and eat pop corn?" asked Dora, angrily.

"It's okay if you want to go, Dora, I don't mind that I won't see anything" said Basillia.

"No Basillia, I waven't even showed you the house yet, you don't have to go just because of me" Dora replied.

"If you want to go I should not stop you" argued the Basilisk girl, "Besides, I didn't had the chance to walk around the town yet, It would be good to stretch the legs".

Dora pondered in the metter.

"Oh, wait just a second" said Wolfgang, picking up his cellphone.

His fingers sprinted trough the screen and soon he placed the phone in his right ear.

"Yo, Kinshi" he said "Good, good. Say, that movie theater we're going to, does it have support for people with visual disability? I mean like headphones with descriptive narration, I readed about something like that on facebook once. Oh nothing to worry about, you find out soon enough. Just check it out already! Ok, text me if when you're done." He hung up "Now we just have to wait".

Dora smiled for him "Awnt, aren't you the sweetest brother I could ever had hoped for?".

"Sure I am, and you better be satisfied" he said sarcastically, heading to the kitchen.

So Dora turned up to Basillia "Sure you're okay with going out with my brother and his frinds? They're a weird bunch".

"Hey! We're normal, you're the one who's weird" he yelled from the kitchen.

Both the girls laughed.

"No problem, you'll be with me, and plus he seems the ok type of weird" said Basillia.

"Oh, thank you very much, 'okay type of weird' it's important for my feelings" he joked.


"Do you really have to walk around holding hands?" Wolfgang whispered to his sister "People are staring".

An already enough blushed Dora glared at him "What am I supposed to do? She can't just walk by herself without seeing things and she doesn't have a cane or a guide dog either!" she whispered back.

"You could hold her in the shoulder or anything else that would not make you two seem like girlfriends" he gave a whisper heavy with sarcasm.

Dora ignored him.

Truth was, Basillia held her hand as they started to walk, and she didn't had the courage to let go of it and hold her somewere else.

"She just want to move a little more freely" Dora thought "If I held her in the shoulder our movements would be more limited, it's merely a practical decision, nothing more" she told herself inside her head "as well as when she was getting a closer look at me, that was also because she wanted to see my face in more detail and couldn't from afar, that's why she kept looking at my face. And breathing against my lips. For several minutes."

Dora figured it would be better not to think about it any further, too dangerous to get into a possibly wrong conclusion. Even if that conclusion may not be wrong.

"They surely forgot I have a better hearing than they do" Thought Basillia, about the two brother's whispers "I wonder if Dora liked me grabbing her hand... She's probably just being nice. Argh! I'll never have another chance like that one this morning! If I just had the courage to..." Basillia's thoughts where interrupted by Wolfgang.

"Hey, there they are" he pointed at the small group waiting by the theater's entrance "Hey, Kinshi, Yoko, Kana!" he waved his arms as he called.

The little three-person group immediately noticed them. There was Kinshi a classic class clown, the kind of guy who would aways creep on the hottest girls without really noticing when he would cross the border of disrespect, but aways felling real guilty when someone tells him. Yoko, a cool and funny girl who happened to be Wolfgang's first crush on childhood. She eventually found herself as being gay. Broke his heart. Eventually he learned to deal with it and they became pick-up friends. And last but not least Kana, a muscular guy with a kind heart, known for being with his girlfriend since they were eleven years old and never having any big issues about it.

All three seemed to be in shock as they saw they're friend with not only his reclusive sister, but a monster girl as well. More than that: they were holding hands, like a couple.

Both the siblings noticed the human's confusion. Even Basillia sensed they're staring and shivered.

"Wow... Wolf, when you talked to me on the phone I imagined like anything, but..." Kinshi started to talk, but Yoko interrupted.

"You never said anything to us about a monter-girl!" She seemed to have mixed feelings, which were hard to track.

Basillia flinched unconfortable.

"Watch your manners Yoko, they're called liminals" said Kana. He was as freaked out as the other two, but being nice just was into his nature.

"Yeah, yeah, sorry, but you didn't told us anyways" she apoligized dismissively.

Kana crossed his arms "if anyone called you a dyke you would like, freak out" he thought, but was too nice to say it out loud.

Wolfgang began to talk, but Dora was faster "It's alright guys, I joined the Cultural Exchange Program, therefore, I'm her host" she said "This is Basillia" she introduced.

The basilisk girl swalloed dry "Nice to meet you" she said timidly.

Both Kinshi and Yoko cooled off as they realized Basillia was probably way more embarassed than they were surprised.

"Nice to meet you Basillia, I'm Ishida Yoko" she searched for something that would seem nice to say "You're very pretty, we should go out again".

"What? You're already hitting on her, Yoko? You pervert" said Wolfgang.

"Oh fuck off you, I'm just trying to welcome her, I don't even know if she's into girls!" she said.

That made Basillia blush "I knew some humans were open to same-sex relationships, but seems there's more than I expected" she thought innocently.

Dora on the other hand responded with jealousy "How Yoko can aways have the courage to say this kind of things? How can she just say it like it's no big deal?" Dora aways found frustration on the fact that her brother was like a thousand times better than her at amorous relationships, but Yoko was aways worst, because Wolfgang at least was straight and his relationships were more socially accepted. The worst thing that could happen to Wolfgang while he hitted on some girl would be to get rejected or to accidentally hit on someone who already had a boyfriend. Worst case scenario for Yoko would be being beaten or even killed.

Dora couldn't express her feelings even when she would like a guy, Yoko was just foward on telling any girl that she found her pretty. Not being able to do the same was frustrating.

"Well if I were to guess..." Said Kinshi, implying that his guess would be that Dora and Basillia were girfriends, so obviously Basillia would like girls.

"Well, for your government, I'm just helping her walk around bucause she can't see" said Dora.

"And you're certainly just doing that because you're a nice person, nothing related to her being a really hot liminal" Kinshi joked.

Both the girls blushed hardly at that statement.

Kana slapped Kinshi's arm.

"Hey! It's true, she's really hot, I don't blame her!" he protested.

"Oh shut up Kinshi, apologize" Kana commanded.

"Why should I? They'd make a cute couple" Kinshi was acctually being honest.

"Oh, so they're a couple just because they were holding hands now? What should people say about when you help your grandmother in the grocery shop now, huh?" teased Kana.

Kinshi blushed hard on that one "Shut up! That's entirely different!".

"Oh is it now?" asked Kana, as both Yoko and Wolfgang laughed at Kinshi "You just help her walk around because of her rheumatism, is it not?".

"Yeah, but..." Kinshi would give some excuse, but Kana stopped him.

" 'Yeah, but...' my ass, I didn't heard anyone giving you intimacy to pry about Dora's relationships, much less Basillia's" he lectured.

Yoko just wouldn't stop giggling "Geez Kana, Basillia just won't be herself anymore, now that you showed off how much of a goody-two-shoes you are".

Wolfgang furthered that "Yeah, now she'll have to make up stories about herself feeding the homeless if she want's you to like her or something".

Kana wouldn't just let them joke him "Oh, she doenst' have to be such a good person for me to like her, all of you are my friends after all".

Even Basillia laughed at this one.


Little by little Basillia warmed up on to the goofy group of friends, at least as far as possible for her cool and quiet nature.

As they were in line to buy pop-corn, Yoko asked Basillia.

"So tell me, have you ever dated anyone? Like, you don't have to answer, but if it's ok for you I'm like dying to know how things are for you, regardless of it being with humans or other liminals".

"Huh... no, never dated anyone..." Basillia answered, blushing.

"Never tryied, or you weren't the issue?" she continued.

"Well I tryied, but it didn't work out... Kind of a sad story, I'd prefer not to talk about it" the basilisk girl replied.

"Just stop to pest her already Yoko, she's a person, not a liminal's life walking google for you to keep asking her stuff" said Kana.

"Well she must have signed for cultural exchange program for a reason, right? For we to learn about each other?" asked Yoko.

"Certaily, then why don't YOU tell Basillia about yourself? It's an EXCHANGE program after all" Teased Wolfgang.

That made Yoko blush for the first time that day "Well she can ask me anytime, no problem".

"She could if you would just shut your mouth and let her talk" said Kinshi, wich granted him a kick in the shin.

"Huh, so... If it's really ok for me to ask..." Basillia started to talk, but stopped as Yoko looked at her, seemingly surprised she acctually wanted to ask anything. Basillia flinched with the sudden reaction but gathered courage and made her question "You like girls, right Yoko? Is that accepted among humans?".

Yoko blushed even more.

"I... I..." Yoko looked to the side to make sure there wasn't anyone staring, while Dora's mind raced "So Basillia does like girls? Did she did those things bucause she likes me? Maybe she thinks I like her. Or maybe she is atracted to Yoko! Oh my God, what shoul I do?". So Yoko finished her answer "Well kind of yes, but mostly no" she said.

Basillia seemed confused "What do you mean?".

"Well some of us are ok with it. Others aren't. There's in fact a lots of infighting amongst us to decide if we accept it as the normal thing it IS or if..." Yoko stopped to try and search for the right words.

"Or if we just go savage and kill a bunch of people for how they feel and love" completed Kinshi, bluntly "That's the short version".

Basillia nodded, seeming unsurprised.

"Looks like basilisks society has that in common with human's" Thought Dora.

They finnaly made to the counter, and Wolfgang ordered the pop-corns and cokes and the group headed to the session.

"Just realized I didn't asked, have you ever been to the cinema before Basillia?" Dora whispered to her as they walked in.

"No, never" she answered.

"Well, I can't really tell if it will be the same for you, now that you can't see, but if it's anything like how it is for me, you'll love it" said Dora.

"Well, I'm really nervous because I'll have to wear those phones you talked about. Not hearing what happens around me will be scary..." Basillia confessed.

"Oh don't worry, I'll hold your hand all the time if you want, ok? I can wear the headphones too if it makes it more comfortable for you" offered Dora.

"Yes and yes, thank you Dora" thanked Basillia, blushing, then she gathered courage once more and declared "I'm glad you're my host Dora, coudn't ask for someone better".

That stament almost made Dora loose control of her disguise. Her form flickered as she blushed, overjoyed with Basillia's declaration.

Immediately Dora stiffened, on the verge of panic.

"Shit, I got caught!".
