The four misfits reached the cinema and the ticket booth.

"What film are you going to see?" asked a small cheerful girl of thirteen from within the booth. It had been reinforced with thick glass so Vyvyan wouldn't be able to get himself and the guys in for free.

"Oh, knickers." Rick shouted "How are we supposed to get into the cinema now?" he pointed to the girl in the booth "We can't get past her! Look at her! She'd beat us all into pulp!" he then waved a fist at the sky "I hope you're happy, God! Depriving us of our Bunny viewing pleasure!"

"Rick! Calm down!" Mike yelled "It's only a little girl."

"Oh, God, just look at her, she's going to kill us!" Rick continued. Vyvyan grabbed him by the shirt collar.

"Shut up. I can handle this." He spat in Rick's face and dropped him on the cold ground. He then turned to the girl in the booth "Right, now don't gimme any backchat you little bitch, are you going to let us in or am I going to have to shout really really loud?"

"Great, Thanks so very much, Vyvyan! Now my bottom has more chance of getting hemorrhoids!" Rick interrupted.

Vyvyan turned "Rick, we know you've already got worms, hemorrhoids are basically the same thing." He then stuck his fingers up at him and then continued threatening the girl.

"Oh, no," Neil murmured "If we stay out here any longer the mucus dripping from my nose is going to turn into icicles…" he moaned in dismay "And then if I stay out here even longer than that I'll freeze and I'll be frozen until they invent something to melt me out of freezing and keep me still alive. And that means if I am unfrozen in the future you'll all be dead and I'd have to get used to living in anti-gravitational conditions with flying cars and the huge threat of running out of oil and natural gas…" Neil continued to speak in the background while everyone else ignored him.

"I'm sorry mister, but I can't let you in without money. It's against the rules." The little girl said sympathetically.

Vyvyan laughed "And what'll happen if I just waltz inside? You'll throw your teddy bear at me?"

She frowned "No, actually, I'll get my daddy to come and make hurt on you."

"Oh yeah? I'm sure I can handle some old timer. C'mon, where is he? I'll take him on." Vyvyan boasted and cracked his knuckles.

The girl's eye lit up and she smiled "Okay! I always like watching daddy do his work." she ran through a little flap, big enough for a cat to fit through. Voices whispered inside.

"Vyvyan, you be careful what you're getting yourself into, got it?" Mike warned "Because I'm not prepared to offer any assistance financially or physically." He then quickly added "Especially financially!"

"No worries Michael, I can take anyone. It's Rick you should be worried about." Vyvyan smirked.

Rick's eyes widened "W-what?" he asked stupidly.

"Vyvyan's calling you a wimp." Mike said casually.

"Oh, is that right? Then he can just kiss my-"

"I'd rather not, Rick." Vyvyan paused and then smiled "I'd rather ingest myself through my bottom then come back alive as nothing but a brain and eat myself all over again."

Rick pulled a face but shook off what Vyv had said "Fine, then," he rolled up his coat sleeves "I'll show this girl's dad who's the tough guy around here." The cold air touched Rick's arms "AH! AH! AH! I've been frostbitten! I'll never look the same again! I will no longer be the sex symbol I always have been! Goodbye, Mike and you other two bastards, I'd rather die then have no fingers of toesies!" he flailed about running around.

Mike frowned "Toesies?"

Vyvyan shook his head and stuck his arm out so Rick collided with it painfully. He picked him up and stood him by the cinema door "Alright then, Rick, you beat the guy up then."

Rick looked confused for a second but then grinned "Yeah, I'll show him who's top dog of the…" he looked at the Cinema and it was called 'The Fluffly Wuffly Watchers' "… Of the Fluffly Wuffly Watchers Cinema! Yeah, I'm so cool and hard, no one can beat me."

"Excuse me, but I heard you were threatening my daughter." A mafia, gangster voice came from behind Rick. He turned around as the looming figure tapped on his shoulder and jumped backwards.

"Uh… Hello, you must be that darling little angel's father!" Rick snorted trying to sound polite "My name's Rick, what a pleasure to meet you, Mr.?"

"Fleschgreindeir." He answered.

"Ah, well, it was nice meeting you and you daughter Mr. Fleschgreindeir." Rick started moving backwards. However, the ex-mafia thug launched at him and started beating him up.

"What chances do you think he has?" Mike asked Vyvyan as they watched the fight and as Neil continued his blabbering in the background.

"Hmm… Bugger all." Vyv replied.

After a few entertaining minutes, Rick suddenly came flying past them, battered, bruised and in a great deal of pain. Mike and Vyvyan helped him up "Whoopsy-daisy." Vyvyan sneered "Did the little baby have an accident?"

Rick tried focusing "Did I win?" he stuttered with what teeth he had left.

"I'm afraid to say no, not quite." Mike answered.

The girl returned in the booth and her father went back inside the cinema "Thank you, daddy!" she called after him.

"Yeah, but I had him on the ropes, right?"

Mike didn't answer and instead walked over to the girl leaving Vyvyan holding Rick.

Neil stroked his hair "And my hair is going to become so bristle it's going to snap off and then I'll be bald which I wouldn't mind since seventy percent of all scientists say that bald men are more attractive to women-"

"You what?" Rick stood straight, knocking Vyvyan out of the way and onto the floor "Being bald makes you more attractive to women?"

"Glad you're feeling better…" Vyv murmured spitefully.

"What?" Neil asked, clearly lost.

Rick sighed "You just said something about being bald makes you more attractive to women."

"Oh, yeah, well, it's a fact, actually Rick. Everyone knows that." Neil frowned noticing the bruises all over Rick "What happened to you?"

"That's not important-"

"He was beaten up miserably and pathetically by a big ex-mafia thug called Mr.Fleschgreinder." Vyvyan answered for Rick.

"Guys, come on, let's go in." Mike called to them.

"What?" Neil asked "But we can't get in we have no more money!"

"What do you mean no more?" Rick snapped "We never had any to lost to begin with!"

"Well, how did you persuade the girl to let us in with no money then, Mike?" Neil repeated.

"Simple, I did a deal." He replied.

"What kind of deal, Mike?" Vyvyan asked looking at him suspiciously.

Mike sighed "I know it's your birthday Vyvyan but it was the only way to get in."

Vyvyan raised an eyebrow "Yeah… So what's the deal?"

"The deal is that this weekend you go out on a date with her." Mike said quickly and hastily walked into the cinema.

The girl smiled and waved at Vyv who rubbed his forehead, shook his head and dismissed the matter.

"Ahahahaha!" Rick laughed sticking his fingers in Vyvyan's face "Vyvyan's got a girlfriend!" he chanted childishly.

Mike popped his head out briefly "Oh, and Rick?"

Rick paused his dancing and turned to Mike "Yes, Michael."

"You too."

"What?" his mouth dropped open "No! I don't want to go out with some kid who hasn't even hit puberty yet!"

"And don't forget she has a father who's an ex-mafia thug." Neil added before following Mike in the cinema.

Vyvyan and Rick looked at each other "Bloody hell…" they both sighed before the, too, entered the cinema.
