"Okay, so we have three choices- The Ring, Paranormal Activity, and Let Me In. Which one do you guys want to see?" Maddie asked, holding up the movies. Everyone looked at them, an uncertain look in their faces.
"I don't know... Maybe-"
"The Ring. Paranormal Activity sucks, and Let Me In isn't all that creepy..." Petula said. Everyone looked at her funny.
"Hey, I watch a lot of scary movies." She said. Maddie smirked and turned to Sahari.
"So what do you think, my love?" Maddie asked, giving the desert girl a seductive wink. Sahari laughed.
"I don't care, as long as we have sex later."
"Why of course!"
"Aw yeah!" Sahari said jokingly. Maxime gave her a shove.
"You two are disgusting!" She said with a laugh.
Dustin, Sparcticus, and Seedos stared at the message for a long time, their mouths open.
"When did THIS happen?" Dustin exclaimed. Seedos shivered.
"Two girls together? Ew!" Sparcticus was the only one who said nothing. He stared in silence. Dustin looked up at him, noticing the slight flash of anger in his eyes.
"Uh... Sparty?" He said weakly. Almost at once, Sparcticus shot up and stormed off, his fists clenched.
"Sparty! SPARTY GET OVER HERE! Well Seedamor, we lost Sparcticus..." Dustin muttered. Seedos gave Dustin a weird look.
"Shouldn't we go get him?"
"...I think I want to keep my arms..."
Dustin: EDDIE! Sparcticus has left!
Eddie looked over the message, his violet eyes widening.
Eddie: WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE LEFT?
Dustin: He... Left :O
Eddie: ... So I guess it's just you me and Seedos?
Dustin: YUP :D
Eddie: ... Why can't there be rope in this closet.
"MADDIE?" Lottie called from upstairs. Maddie shut her eyes tightly
Oh God...
"YEAH MOM?" Maddie called back. She had hoped Lottie would have just called her upstairs, but the older woman walked on downstairs.
"Maddie, sweetie, your father came upstairs and TOLD me you were dating Sahari, and we HAVE to-"
"Mom, can we have this talk somewhere else? Or tomorrow?" Maddie begged, ignoring the snickers from everyone.
"OF COURSE not! I can see that they ALREADY accept you for who you are, and I think it's FABULOUS that you aren't afraid to be so PUBLIC about it!"
"MOM-"
"I honestly wish you and Sahari the BEST of love!"
"Thank you Mrs. Builder. We make it work." Sahari said, putting a hand on Maddie's shoulder. Maddie shot her a glare, then looked back to her mom.
"That's great now can you please LEAVE?"
"I remember," Lottie continued, ignoring her daughter, "I used to like a girl too; ah she was DIVINE~"
"MOM!" Maddie screamed out in embarrassment. Now the others were laughing, still trying to keep quiet so they could hear.
"But THEN I met your father, and I fell in LOVE with him. But sometimes I wonder if I should have STAYED with the woman-"
"BYE MOM!" Maddie said, pushing her mom up the stairs. She came back down quickly afterwards, her face pink.
"I am really sorry about that-" Maddie was saying, being cut off by the loud burst of laughter that came. Maddie's face then twisted into anger.
"YOU ALL SUCK! THAT WASN'T FUNNY!"
"It kinda was..." Leafos said, reducing her laughter into a giggle.
"You guys are all so mean..." Maddie said, taking a seat next to Seiko, who laughed while patting her friend on the shoulder apologetically.
"Oh you'll be alright... You still have your girlfriend!"
"God, can't we, like, fast forward through the previews?" Petula asked, staring at the TV. Maddie turned her head to her.
"Hey, if you want to get up and fast forward, be my guest."
"Don't you have, like, a remote or something?"
"My dad... Nevermind."
"What did your dad-"
"NEVERMIND." Maddie said, turning back to the TV. Petula shrugged her shoulders and focused back onto the TV screen. Leafos chewed on the end of her glove. She seriously did not want to see a horror movie. Petula looked over, smirking at Leafos's worried expression.
"You know, this movie was number one on the, like, scariest movie ever." Petula said. Leafos's blue eyes glanced over.
"Oh really?" She asked, trying to sound as if she didn't care.
"Yeah. It was like, so creepy too! The girl just like, comes out of the screen, and the way she moves in that jerky motion," Petula rambled, somewhat mimicking the motions she was talking about. Leafos inhaled sharply, trying not to sound terrified. Maxime glared over at Petula.
"Hey Petula, have you seen Maddie's basement?" She asked. Petula looked over at her.
"No, why?"
"It's REALLY cool! You should see it!"
"But the movies, like, about to start-"
"We won't start it until you get in here, don't worry!" Seiko said sweetly. Petula nodded.
"Okay then, sure. Where's her basement?"
"Right over here!" Maxime said, guiding the shopkeeper to the door behind the couch. Petula looked at the door funny and opened it, looking down.
"I can't, like, see anything..."
"Because you have to turn a light on..." Maxime said with an eye roll.
"Then, like, where's the light switch?"
"Down there." Maxime said, shoving the teenager down the stairs. Petula screamed the whole way down, her head hitting every step. Maxime shut the door and locked it from the outside, and took her seat back on the armchair.
"She had to go." She said. Everyone else snickered.
"Thank goodness..." Maddie muttered.
Petula got up, cradling her head.
Damn that hurt like hell... She thought to herself, getting up. She looked around, only seeing black.
"HEY GUYS! WHERE'S THE, LIKE, LIGHT SWITCH?" Petula called out, not even sure where the stairs even were anymore.
"SHUT UP WE ARE TRYING TO WATCH A MOVIE!" Sahari's voice called from above.
