If Only You Knew
Chapter Eight: The Wonders of Love
"I am NOT going to see a chick flick this time, and that's final!" Phil stated firmly, arms crossed over his chest as he stared stubbornly at the blonde girl next to him. Keely moaned, tugging on his sleeve as she pointed at one of the holographic movie posters in front of them.
"But...c'mon, Phil, it's three-dimensional, plus it's my first time seeing a movie like this!" Keely whined. "Pleeeease...?" She batted her lashes at him, her trademark plea, but this time it didn't seem to work as well as the many times before.
"I went with you to that 'Samurai-Love You' movie the day after Hackett came over for dinner, Keel, and sat through two full hours of you crying your eyes out and blowing your nose through an entire box of tissues!" Phil cried, throwing his hands up into the air. "That pretty much makes us even from the Sci-fi movie we saw before that!"
Keely sighed in defeat, knowing he was right, and ran a hand through her wavy hair. "Fine. We'll watch something else. As long as it's not one of those weird movies that some obsessed geek freak would want to go to!" she added hastily, which in turn earned her a glare from Phil.
"Well, how about...a romantic comedy?" Phil suggested out of consideration for his best friend, looking down at their choices. But Keely shook her head, disinterested. "Nah. Too predictable. Girl meets guy, girl falls for guy, then the conflicts, the resolutions, and they end up together happily ever after. Always the same." In actuality, romantic comedies were Keely's favorite type of movie, but lately she was getting irritated by the fact that the things that happened in them never happened in real life. 'Obviously, or I'd be coupled up with a certain someone right now.' she thought to herself, rolling her eyes.
Phil groaned, trying to keep his patience. "O-kay...How about...one of those suspense/scary movies? Either that, or we're stuck with..." He glanced down at the final choice in disgust. "'The Easter Bunnies Go to Kryptonia, Part 3."
Keely stared at Phil in mock thought, cocking her head to one side as she decided over the two choices. "Well, I don't know Phil, I'd sure want to know what happens to those Easter bunnies when they get to..." Phil cut her off with an exasperated "KEELY!" and she giggled, placing her hands on his shoulders. "I'm kidding, future boy. We'll go to the other one."
They stared at each other for that moment, and once again Phil found himself lost in her stunningly green eyes and that warm smile. He never realized it before, for she was always pretty from the start...but her outer beauty now seemed to radiate, and she suddenly seemed to take the form of...a goddess. In that moment, Phil was hit full-force with all that was Keely. Suddenly, he had the strongest urge to just...lean in and kiss her, to wrap his arms around her and never let go. But he couldn't do that, he knew she didn't---she would never---
Keely suddenly blinked and dropped her hands, resting them on her hips as she laughed nervously. "We'd better get going, huh?" she said, quickly turning away from Phil's penetrating gaze and motioning towards the entrance of the movie theater.
Phil nodded dumbly, unable to speak just yet, and Keely gave a soft chuckle. "You okay?"
He quickly shook his head to clear his mind, then cut his eyes back to his best friend. "Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Just...great." He flashed her a goofy grin and gently led her into the virtual theater as she tried to suppress another laugh.
Neither of them noticed the shadowed figure glaring at them as he leaned against the pillar, just a few feet away.
--------------------------------------
"You made me come all the way down here to show me the broken time machine...AGAIN?" Pim almost shrieked, desperately trying to contain her irritancy as she glared at her father. She could've been watching another one of her plans with Phil at work, yet here she was once again staring at the piece of junk that would supposedly take her back to the year 2121...if it was ever fixed.
"Honey, we just wanted to share with you the good news!" Barb said patiently, resting her hand on her daughter's shoulder. "Now your father's just one step away from taking us back home...isn't that what you want?"
Pim groaned, lifting her lagoon blue eyes towards her mother. "Mom...I'm really happy that dad fixed another part of the time engine...but I was kind of BUSY at the moment." She shot another glare at Lloyd, who cringed at the deathly look in her eyes. "Couldn't it have waited until tomorrow?" she continued in a sweet voice as she looked back at her mother, and Barb raised her eyebrows at the sudden change of tone.
Lloyd cleared his throat, lifting his laser mask. "Okay, Pim-cicle, you can leave, then. There's nothing else here to see. As long as you're not doing anything evil-related," he added, which caused Pim to laugh lightly.
"Oh, daddy-o, don't worry about it. I'm not doing anything bad..." A malicious look crossed her features, and as soon as she had come Pim disappeared back into the house.
Lloyd and Barb watched the door swing softly shut behind her, and for a beat there was complete silence.
"Are you sure she's our daughter?" Lloyd asked his wife suddenly, furrowing his brow in thought as he leaned heavily on the desk he was working on. "I mean, she doesn't look ANYTHING like either one of us---"
"LLOYD!" Barb interrupted sharply, glaring daggers at him from her spot near the door. He cringed yet again and quickly pulled down his mask, getting back to work. "Right! Okay! I'll finish up on the Insta-Weather now!"
Pim bounded up the stairs and rushed into her room, pulling the door shut behind her as she plopped on her bed. "Better not have missed anything good," she muttered as she grabbed her own Virtu-Goggles and turned them on, placing them over her eyes. She fell back against her headboard and sprayed herself a bowl of popcorn, grinning as the mall popped onscreen. "This should be interesting."
------------------------------------------
"Okay, Phil, I have to confess..." At once, Phil cut his eyes over to Keely, a questioning and almost hopeful look in his eyes as they came to a stop in front of the two towering doors that led into their movie theater.
"I'm not that good with scary movies." She admitted bluntly, giving a ghost of an apologetic smile as she fiddled with the rings on her fingers. "Like, at all. Keely and scary movies---no match." She shook her head and threw out her hands for extra emphasis, the nervousness clearly evident in her eyes.
Phil's hopeful expression faded, and he ran a hand through his hair, causing it to stick out at strange angles. "Keel, it's more of a suspenseful movie, so there's nothing to worry about, really." He gave her a comforting grin, the smile that always seemed to make her heart skip a beat every time he flashed it. "If you must, though..." He lifted his arm lazily, cringing slightly at the thought of what was to come. "This arm's all ready to get the life squeezed out of it."
How did he do it? How did he always make her feel like nothing could ever go wrong when he was near? How, with just a few comforting words, was he able to push all the doubt and worry out of her mind and just...make everything seem so...right? Keely simply laughed, a light feeling in her chest as Phil opened the door and motioned for her to go in.
"After you, madam," He said in a deep voice, bowing gracefully and faking a yelp of pain when she whacked him across the head as she passed through the entry.
In the wonders of love, life just couldn't get any better.
