Chapter 11. Alright here is chapter 11. I think it is a little random because it is about a Kate and Abby seeing a newly released movie and I did not want to spoil it for anyone. Anyway I did my best with it and I think it turned out pretty good.
Disclaimer: I do not own: NCIS, Knight and Day, Sandra Bullock, Duplicity…
Spoilers: There are actually a few spoilers in this chapter for Knight and day but there are only two and they are not key to the plot of the film.
"Shall we do today," Kate paused for a second wondering if she wanted to go for the pop culture reference and deciding that she did, "Brain."
"The same thing we do everyday Pinky," Abby replied her face lighting up at getting to be 'brain' "Try and take over the world."
"Ah that is highly impractical Brain," Kate told Abby, "because it is nearly six o'clock and we really don't have time to take over the world."
"Well then Pinky, " Abby asked Kate, "What do you want to do tonight?"
"We could go see a movie in the theater downtown," Kate suggested and Abby looked interested.
"What movies are playing downtown?" Abby asked. Kate smirked at this. "What?" Abby asked defensively.
"Movie," Kate corrected her, "singular. They only play one movie a night." Abby looked surprised. "It is a single screen theater," Kate explained, "and I think it is pretty old."
"Oh wow," Abby said for lack of other inspiration, "What's playing?"
"I don't know," Kate paused then she yelled, "Dad what is playing at the Capawock?"
"Knight and Day," came the reply from the other room.
"I want to see that movie," Kate exclaimed.
"What is it about?" Abby asked cautiously.
"Romantic comedy, girls with guns, action thriller," Kate summarized.
"Alright that sounds awesome," Abby decided.
"Well it looks like we know what we are doing," Kate said and Abby nodded in agreement.

Kate and Abby walked up to the movie theater and paid the teller for two tickets and some candy. Then they walked into the movie theater. It was beautiful with decorative cloth on the sides and red and white seats. They took two of the seats and sat down to watch the credits.
After about ten minutes the movie started at they sat back and watched as Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz walked through the airport and crashed into each other a couple of times. Then the two characters, June and Roy, got on the plane. Abby and Kate watched in rapture for the entire movie.

After the credits started to roll Kate and Abby made their way back out onto the street. "That was so awesome," Abby exclaimed as the started to walk up main street. Every time they saw a movie they would go on about it for about a half an hour in great detail. For this reason Kate's parents had taken away the keys. So the girl had to walk and hopefully by the time they got home, they would be done with that conversation.
"I loved the scene towards the end," Kate began, "the one where they are in the middle of a shoot out and she goes 'you don't look very happy to see me'"
"Yea and then," Abby continued happily, "he demonstrates that he is very happy to see her."
"I know I love that scene," Kate agreed, "And the motorcycle shooting scenes were awesome."
"I know those were so much fun," Abby said ecstatically. Abby and Kate looked at each other.
"And I loved the whole someday theme running through it," Kate continued, "that was wonderful."
"I know," Abby agreed, "That was so wonderfully sweet."
"I thought you didn't like sweet movies," Kate pointed out.
"The exception proves the rule," Abby defended herself.
"You liked Speed," Kate pointed out.
"That's not really a sweet movie," Abby tried to defend, "It is move of a thriller…"
"Oh come on," Kate replied exasperatedly, "What about the kiss scene at the end?"
"Okay so it is a little," Kate glared, "a lot romantic," Abby admitted.
"What about Mrs. Congeniality one and two?" Kate asked. Abby rolled her eyes at the fact that Kate was picking mostly Sandra Bullock movies. Kate had made Abby sit through a bunch of them…not that Abby really minded because they were all really good.
"Well I loved most of number one," Abby replied, "right up until the part where she turns into a girl and I despised the beginning of the second one. The end of that one is pretty good too. But it wasn't really romantic."
"What about the Eric and Gracie interaction?" Kate demanded.
"You really are a hopeless romantic," Abby accused her friend.
"Yes I am," Kate agreed, "and I am trying to help my fellow hopeless romantic come out of the closet."
"I am not a hopeless romantic," Abby insisted.
"Sure," Kate said sarcastically, "What about Duplicity?"
"I don't think I saw that one," Abby told Kate. Hoping that Kate would not know that she had because her claim that she did not like romantic movies was falling apart fast.
"Abby if you are going a to lie about whether you saw a movie or not," Kate told her friend, "Don't lie to the person you saw it with."
"Right," Abby apologized, "sorry about that. Okay I liked that one too."
"See you like romantic comedies just as much as I do," Kate told her friend, "It is okay to come out of the closet and say it."
"I am not a hopeless romantic," Abby insisted again.
"Aww," Kate told her in the mock gentle voice she usually used when teasing. "You are still in the denial phase. Don't worry there are support groups that can help you with that."
"I do not want a support group I am not the one in denial," Abby told her, "You are and I am not a hopeless romantic."
"Whatever you say," Kate told her friend, "Now if you ever decide that you might be a hopeless romantic here is a card of a great therapy group." Kate handed Abby a card and Abby's jaw dropped.
"Oh my gosh," Abby told her, "you weren't kidding." Abby looked down at the card in her hand. It looked like an actual biness card.
"No I wasn't." Kate replied, "this is a serious problem facing millions of Americans. You are not alone."
"I don't know what scares me more," Abby told her friend, "The fact that these are real or the fact that you carry them with you."
Did you like it? I really liked the conversation at the end. If you have not seen the movie Knight and Day, you should defiantly go see it. It's the best movie I have seen all summer. But before you do that please review.
