The Outer Limits

Chapter 6

* Movie Theatre *

"Two tickets for 'Knocking on Heaven's Door' please." Carlos asked the ticket lady. She handed them over and Carlos paid her.

"Ok, since you bought the tickets, I'll pay for the snacks." Amanda told him.

"Are you sure? I eat like a pig?" The blonde giggled. The pair walked to the growing line of snack buyers and waited.

"Previews suck." Amanda complained as the 10th advertisement came on to the big screen.

"Yeah." Carlos agreed. He went to grab a handful of popcorn but found the tub empty. "We're out of popcorn."

"You ate it all! I didn't even get any!" Amanda gave a puppy dog look to Carlos.

"Oh not that! Ok, ok I'll get more. You get a free refills right?" Amanda nodded and he grabbed the now empty tub and left to get more popcorn.

"Get lots of butter on it and hurry up the movie might actually start soon." Amanda told him. Carlos started to laugh as he walked out the theatre.

Carlos patiently waited for the snack person to fill his tub of empty popcorn.

"Lots of butter on that too, please." Unconsciously shuddered at the thought of popcorn without butter and salt. "Ew." He muttered out loud.

"Here you go sir."

"Thank you." He grabbed the precious tub of popcorn and head back towards the theatre.

"What?!" Carlos asked in shock as he sat back down next to Amanda. Advertisements stilled played on the screen. He plopped down on to his seat as Amanda grabbed the tub and started to munch on the popcorn. Suddenly the room got dark and the movie started to play.

"Excuse me, pardon me…well that's rude, excuse us." A girl said and another person said loudly coming in late.

"Don't you just hate people like that?" Carlos asked. Amanda nodded.

A half an hour into the movie someone started to throw popcorn at Carlos and Amanda.

"Damn it, who would waste good popcorn." Carlos asked. Amanda turned around to see who was throwing the popcorn at the couple but she couldn't see anything in the dark theatre. She scowled and turned back to the movie. The main character started to say something when the screen suddenly had a huge tear though the middle.

"What the?" Someone sitting in the back asked. Their question was answered when a creature popped through the tear and laughed really evilly.

"Sorry folks movie's been cancelled. Hwahahaha!" It laughed and grabbed a couple of chairs and started to throw them at the innocent people in the crowd.

/Sailor time, but what about Carlos? Shit. /

"Come on. Let's get out of here." Carlos grabbed Amanda's hand and ran out of the theatre with the rushing crowd while the monster laughed with joy still throwing things. People were pushing and shoving as the couple tried hard to stay together but they were torn away from each other.

"Amanda!" Carlos yelled when he got out the theatre room and watched the rest of the people run out while scanning for Amanda. Little did he know that she had run ahead and through the people, she was now safely hidden behind an advertisement for the latest movie.

"Galaxy Power!" Sailor Galaxy dashed from behind the cardboard display. She started to slow down when she saw Carlos standing in front of the doorway, waiting for Amanda. /Damn. / Galaxy just shrugged and continued running right past Carlos and into the theatre. He gave a puzzled look as she ran by. When she got in there she saw the monster and,

"Universe?" Galaxy asked.

"Hi!" Universe waved enthusiastically at the senshi, while dodging stuff. (a/n: Yes. it is possible to throw the large amount of stuff that is about to be thrown. Have you ever seen the floor of a movie theatre after a movie? Yuck! This chapter is dedicated to all you who work cleaning up movie theatre floors.)

"Hi. Galactic too? How the hell did you guys get here so fast?"

"Well," Galactic dodged a thrash can, "I meet up with Universe at the arcade and we needed to see you and," He dodged a thing of popcorn, "she knew you'd be here so we came to watch the movie and see you afterwards." Galactic finally finished and started to throw things back at Negaverse Yoma. Universe stopped dodging the flying objects and jumped over towards Galaxy.

"So you and Galactic are on good terms now?" Galaxy asked Universe as they watched the little battle between him and the monster.

"Well see Galactic is Leon… ABUNAI!" Universe and Galaxy ducked and just barely were missed by a cup holder.

"No way."

"Yup."

"Uh, what if Carlos was a knight, drool." Universe laughed a little at that.

"That would be pretty interesting, now let's just beat this thing, even though this is getting pretty funny."

They watched Galactic and the monster for a few more seconds then Galaxy nodded a 'yes'.

"Galaxy Wind…"

"Universe Star…"

"Stop you evil villain! I was on a perfectly good date with a hot babe untill you ruined it! For popcorn and girl lovers everywhere I'll shall destroy you." The two sailors stopped their attack to look at the new arrival.

"Oh dear god not another one." Universe whined, head buried in her hands.

"Who are you?" Galaxy asked.

"I am Aero Knight." The knight blushed a little when he realized there were girls watching him and how corny his speech must have sounded.

"Another knight? Good… help!" Galactic cried as the monster continued to throw things at him. Aero Knight ran to help Galactic. He pulled a dagger out from his sheath at his side at drove it into the yoma's side, forcing a painful cry from the monster. The two knights ran to the side as once again the two senshi prepared their attacks.

"Star Bomb!"

"Tornado!" The two combined attacks swooped the monster into the air and then exploded.

"Yatta!" The two girls cheered and struck a pose. The two knights walked back over towards the girls.

"So, who are you?" Universe asked, sitting down on one of the seats.

"Aero Knight. I said that earlier."

"No, not that name. Your real name." Universe told him. She grabbed a bucket of untouched popcorn and started to eat it while trying to make out what was happening on the screen.

"Well it's… hey! Why should I tell you? I don't even know your name." Aero said back. Galaxy sat down next to Universe and stole some of her popcorn.

"Okay fine." Universe got up, brushed off her skirt of fallen popcorn, and extended her hand. "I'm Susan Mayu." Aero shook her hand.

"Your Susan Mayu? You're in my homeroom. I'm Carlos West." Universe starred in disbelief for a second than look at Galaxy.

"Damn Amanda. Who'd think we'd both get this lucky."

"Amanda?" Aero asked Galaxy, she started to blush uncontrollably. Universe and Galactic smiled and sat down to watch the rest of the movie even though it had a giant tear though the center. The two soldiers went to the back of the theatre to talk while Universe and Galactic watched the movie while throwing popcorn at the screen.

"So how long have you been Galaxy?" Aero asked, sitting down next to Galaxy.

"For about five days now."

"Only five?"

"What do you mean only?" Galaxy asked.

"Well, even before I came to Japan I was Aero."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I've been this way for about one year. Before I came here I had this feeling I just needed to come and it just do happens our schools was doing a foreign exchange. I've glad I came." Aero gave her a smile. Galaxy smiled back with a huge grin.

"Come on! Let's go! I think the cops are coming!" Susan yelled to them, running back from the entrance door. Aero and Galaxy quickly change back to their normal forms and joined Leon and Susan. The four quickly ran out of the theatre through the fire exit.

"So, anybody want to go out to eat?" Leon asked.

"Nah, thanks anyway. We still have a date to finish don't we?" Carlos asked Amanda. She nodded in agreement. The two walked off holding hands.

"Aww. They make such a cute couple. I swear Amanda hasn't smiled that much since she beat Ted up that one time. Remember that?" Susan asked.

"Yeah I remember that." Leon started to laugh.
