1.1 Chapter 4

~Movie Store~

"What kind of movie do you want to rent?" Rory asked as they browsed through the rows. "Comedy, drama, action, adventure, romance." She began listing the different categories but stopped at the last one, which made her a little uneasy. But he pretended not to notice.

"Anything you want. I don't have a preference. Except for Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." Tristan said, a little afraid she might try to tease him about it.

"Do you have a problem with that movie?" Rory asked curious.

"No, I just don't really like it, that's all." He explained quickly. "What about this movie?" Picking up another video trying to change the subject. He didn't have anything against the movie. It's just that he was afraid of the Oompa Loompas. When he was little he went trick-or-treating and one of his friends dressed as an Oompa Loompa, played a prank on him and ever since then he hasn't liked them.

"Oh! How about 'The Grinch Who Stole Christmas?'! I love this movie." Exclaimed Rory, dropping the subject about the other movie.

"Alright then. The Grinch it is. DVD or VHS?"

(A.N. DVD or VHS? Corny huh?)

"DVD. Mom and I just got a new DVD player Plus, I love the special features they have" They both started laughing and went to the checkout counter.

"Hey Rory" The boy behind the counter smiled.

Tristan felt a pang of jealousy as the boy smiled at Rory.

"Hi John" Rory smiled back at the boy.

"Will this be all for you today?"

"Yeah" She said as she handed him the money.

"Bye" They both said and waved.

"Are we ready yet?" Tristan asked patiently.

"Yep. Do you want to go pick up some snacks on the way? We don't have anything at home." She smiled.

"Sure. Lead the way." He said returning the smile.
