Arizona spotted two seats in the back row and looked back at Callie.

"Is this okay?" she whispered, pointing toward the seats.

Callie nodded and they made their way to the seats. They settled in just as the previews started.

"I guess we should've gotten here earlier," Callie whispered to Arizona. "I feel bad that we had to split up."

"It's not like we could've talked anyway," Arizona replied. "We'll up meet back up as soon as it's over."

Callie nodded her head and relaxed into her seat. That was true. They would watch the movie and then meet right back up with Jo and Meredith. No big deal.

She set her bag of popcorn on her lap and shoved a large handful in her mouth. She went to grab her drink and then realized she didn't have one. She and Meredith had gotten one to share. Arizona noticed Callie reach for her invisible drink and quickly offered her coke to her.

"Have mine," she whispered. "I didn't really want it anyway."

Callie grabbed the drink and took a big gulp. "Thanks. I'll pack you back."

"Don't worry about it," Arizona said. "Now shhh, the movie is starting."

About 45 minutes into the movie, Callie began to wonder why in the hell she had chosen it. She usually liked scary movies, but this movie was downright terrifying. She had been startled so badly in the first 5 minutes that she had thrown her whole bag of popcorn into the air.


Arizona was enjoying every minute of the movie. To be honest, she wasn't really paying any attention to it. It was nice just being there with Callie and seeing her be so relaxed and unaware. It had been a long time since they had been that comfortable with each other.

She was busy admiring Callie out of the corner of her eye when she heard an ear splitting scream on screen. Callie visibly jumped and buried her head in Arizona's shoulder. Arizona wrapped her arm around Callie's shoulder and leaned down to whisper in her ear.

"You know this is all fake right?" she whispered, a grin pulling up the corners of her mouth.

Callie glanced up and furrowed her brow. "Fake or not it is scaring the hell out of me!" she huffed back.

Arizona chuckled, her arm still around Callie's shoulder. "You picked it."

Callie pouted and began to pull away but Arizona stiffened her arm, keeping her in place.

And Callie didn't resist.


Callie watched as the man in the mask slaughtered the woman on screen. As the woman let out a blood-curdling scream, she jumped up and quickly buried her head in the crook of Arizona's neck. She had simply been seeking comfort, but the minute her nose hit Arizona's skin, she couldn't help but notice how good she smelled.

Suddenly, Arizona leaned down and whispered, "You know this is all fake right?"

Callie looked up and saw a grin adorning Arizona's face. God, how she loved that grin. She quickly pretended to look upset. Furrowing her brow she said, "Fake or not it is scaring the hell out of me!"

Arizona laughed and Callie could feel it rumble in her chest. "You picked it," she whispered.

Callie did not like being picked on. She attempted to pull away, but Arizona tightened her grip, not letting her go. And Callie realized…she didn't want her to.


The movie finally ended and the lights slowly started to come back on. As though snapping them both back into reality, Arizona quickly removed her arm from Callie's shoulder and Callie sat upright. They began to gather their things when they saw Jo and Meredith headed their way.

"That was awesome!" Meredith said, as she and Jo approached.

"I thought you didn't like scary movies," Arizona replied.

Meredith just shrugged her shoulders. Jo looked at Callie and Arizona, her face as pale as a ghost.

"Are you okay Jo?" Callie asked.

"That was awful," Jo said quietly. "I feel sick."

"Do you need to go home?" Arizona asked, concern laced in her voice.

"I'll take her," Meredith chirped up.

"Meredith..we were supposed to grab a late dinner, remember?" Callie said.

"But I haven't seen Sofia in ages. And I bet Alex is watching the game. I wanted to catch the end. I'm sure Arizona would go with you."

Arizona looked slightly surprised. The whole night it had seemed like Meredith was pushing them together. But she quickly spoke up, "Sure. I had a light dinner. I could go for something to eat."

Jo was about to put up a fight. She really didn't think Arizona and Callie should be left alone together. But the movie had really done a number on her and she wanted nothing more than to just go home. So the women said their goodbyes and Jo and Meredith left.

"What are you in the mood for?" Arizona asked, as they walked out of the theater.

"Pizza?" Callie asked. "Unless you'd rather have more of a fork and knife type meal."

Arizona smiled. One of her fondest memories was she and Callie eating pizza in bed. She would never turn down pizza with the woman standing in front of her.

"No…pizza sounds great," Arizona said.


An hour later Arizona and Callie found themselves in a little hole in the wall restaurant in downtown Seattle.

"How did you hear about this place?" Callie asked.

"I had a patient a couple of months ago who came in for a major intestinal surgery. All he was worried about is if he would be able to eat pizza again. He loooooved pizza. I was trying to keep his mind at ease when we were getting ready to put him under so I asked him about his favorite pizza and he said this place. He made it sound so good, I promised myself that I would try it someday. So here we are," she smiled.

"A kid told you about this place?" she laughed. "It seems a little rough for a kid," she said, looking around at the battered pool table in the corner and the makeshift dance floor behind the bar.

Arizona chuckled. "Well considering that this is a bar I would say you're right. His parents would get it carry-out for him. But he swears up and down this is where he will spend his 21st birthday. I hope the kid develops bigger aspirations."

A waitress walked over to their table and took their order. Within a few minutes, they had their beers and an older man had put some coins in the jukebox, causing it to play.

Callie looked at Arizona and grabbed her hand. "Let's play some pool," she said, dragging her over to the table.

"I'm awful at pool Callie," Arizona groaned. "You're going to humiliate me."

"What if we make it interesting?" Callie asked.

Now Arizona was listening. "What do you mean?" she asked.

"We'll make a bet," Callie replied. "If you win, you get something you want and if I win, I get something I want. There's a catch though, we can't say what it is we want until one of us wins. Deal?"

Arizona smiled. "Deal. Let's play."


So what is it each woman will want? And who will win? Hmm :)

P.S. shout out to AZsgirl. I must be getting too predictable because she knew exactly where the scary movie idea was going with all the heads being buried in necks and such.

As always, thank you for your reviews! You inspire me to keep this story going!
