Ch. 6 Movie Night
Jackson shuffled over to Daley's in his step Dad's car. He was tired, but everyone was sleeping over at Daley's (their parent's trusted them- they spent a year alone on an island and no one had sex) and having a movie marathon. Everyone got to pick one movie. Jackson had picked his most favorite movie ever: Men in Black. Aliens, secret agents, what more could he want? He even liked the outfits.
He pulled up in front of Daley's house, another car right behind him. Jackson got out and saw it was Melissa.
"Hey Mel!" Jackson smiled and walked over to her.
"Hey! What did you pick?" Melissa laughed.
"Men in Black, you?" Jackson asked.
"I brought National Treasure. I love that movie!" she laughed.
They walked up to Daley's door, and Lex answered.
"Hey people! What movies did you bring?" he asked.
"Men in Black and National Treasure, what did you and Daley pick out?" Melissa asked.
"I picked out Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Daley picked out Rent. Come on in, only Nathan's here," Lex nodded.
"Figures," Jackson whispered to Melissa and she giggled softly.
"What did Nathan pick?" Melissa called out.
"What else, Mel?" Nathan walked, coming out of the family room grinning, "Jurassic Park! I'm shocked at your stupidity."
"Oh yeah," Melissa chuckled, "you're obsessed with that movie."
"I love it would be the more flattering term," Nathan blushed.
"Please. Whenever we had movie night back in Elementary School, he always begged us 'Can we watch Jurassic Park? Please?' The three of us went crazy."
"The three of you?" Jackson asked, confused.
"Um… me, Daley, and Liam; plus Nathan was in the group too," Melissa's voice was quite.
Nathan bit his lip, "Remember the pact, Mel, just remember the pact."
"Yeah," Melissa nodded, "I don't really want to talk about it, okay Jackson?"
Jackson shrugged as Abby walked in.
"Hey, I couldn't choose between The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, is it okay that I brought both?" she asked.
"SURE!" Daley called from the family room, "ARE YOU GUYS COMING?"
"YES!" all of them came running in then.
"Oh, and I heard your choices from here. Good ones," Daley nodded.
"Yup," Melissa nodded.
Taylor and Eric came in then, laughing.
"Let's see," Melissa rolled her eyes; Taylor and Eric were laughing too hard to be able to talk, "Mean Girls and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Good choice, Eric, but don't you think that the guys will be annoyed by the chick flick Taylor?" Melissa smirked.
"That's- why- I'm- laughing!" Eric panted, "Taylor didn't think of it!"
"Well I'm sorry," Taylor laughed.
"Come on you guys!" Daley called. They all came rushing in then.
"So, which is first?" Daley asked. Everyone had spread out their sleeping bags, there was millions of bowls of candy, chips, and popcorn, a pizza was in the middle of the coffee table, and everyone had drinks. Taylor and Eric went into the kitchen to get one.
"How about we first do Narnia and Harry, then Treasure, then Python, then JP, then Rent, then Pirates, then Men, and then Girls? That way, if the boys don't want to watch it, they can just go to sleep," Melissa laughed.
"Okay," it was twilight outside; they had started early so they could attempt to fit in all the movies.
Daley popped in Narnia, and they all sat back. As it was playing, Lex's mom came in.
"Kids, I know you're in the middle of your first weekly movie night (it was Saturday night, so they made it a weekly thing) but turn on the 7 o'clock news!" she said excitedly.
Daley shrugged and turned on the news briefly.
"And, just last week the 8 survivors of the Flight 29 Down crash were found. The ship crashed a year ago on a remote Indonesian island. They were found thanks to the ship the SS Heartlib which was following the famous California Orcas on their bimonthly migration. Turns out they migrated to the island they were stranded on, and the kids (who are from California) didn't even know. They are all safe home and sound: the survivors are Abby Fujimoto, Taylor Hannigan, Cody Jackson, Daley and Lex Marin, Eric McGorrill, Nathan McHugh, and Melissa Wu. The two other students, Ian and Jory, as well as the pilot, Captain Russell, are missing in the jungle. They have not been found in a year, and are presumed dead. Now in weather…"
Daley turned back on the movie, "we were in the news?" she gasped.
"Yup," Lex's mom laughed, "now enjoy your movies!"
Everyone settled into comfortable positions, and the movie started up again. Daley buried herself in Nathan's chest, Melissa rested her head on Jackson's shoulder, Taylor and Eric laid their heads on the other's, Lex was lying down in front of the TV and Abby sitting up in a chair.
When the movie ended, all Lex had to do was switch disks and they were on their way again.
Soon, after 4 and ½ movies and four bowls of popcorn, Daley got up.
"I know we're in the middle of Jurassic Park," Daley began while pausing the movie.
"DALEY!" Nathan sighed.
"However, according to tradition, whenever Melissa and I watched this movie with Nathan, we always stopped it here. During the part where the T- Rex is attacking, to annoy him," Daley smirked.
"You're going to get it later," Nathan narrowed his eyes.
"That's what you always say!" Melissa laughed.
"This time, I mean it!" Nathan laughed.
"Anyway," Daley rolled her eyes, "and now, I'm kind and going to start it up again."
The movies progressed, and soon the hours dragged on. Lex sleepily switched the movies, but fell asleep during the duration of them. Daley fell asleep in Nathan's arms, Nathan resting his chin on the top of her head. Eric and Taylor crumpled on each other. Jackson was the last one awake, and soon fell asleep, Melissa resting on him as well.
