Snack Time
"Here you go, guys, a pound each, go get whatever food you want." Mike said, handing the money to the three.
Vyvyan just snatched it and charged towards the snack bare, jumped over the counter and started tossing every kind of illegal sweet into a handbag he swiped from a lady nearby.
Rick smiled "Thank you, Mike." And ran over to Vyvyan, which then started a pushing and shoving game between them only Rick was sent flying across the room most of the time.
"How'd you get this money, Mike? I thought we didn't have any." Neil asked.
"You're always the one to ask questions, aren't you Neil?" That was the only reply Mike gave Neil before he wondered over to the second snack bar to investigate the girl at the counter. Neil frowned then shrugged and walked over to the two fighting among the sweets.
"I saw those fizzbombers first! They're mine!" Rick shouted launching into Vyvyan.
"Get off, girly!" He snapped back.
"Finders keepers!"
"Losers weepers!" Vyvyan sneered and kick Rick in the chest, and continued destroying the bar "You'd think they'd have alcohol here since it is a bar." He shouted angrily.
"You're not allowed alcohol in the cinema, stupid!"
"Who says?" Vyvyan walked up to Rick.
"The staff, who else?"
"You know any of the staff?"
"Well, yes I do actually, I have a mate called Fred and-"
Vyvyan gave Rick a hard headbutt "Give them that little message and tell them to piss off!"
Rick stumbled over to the bubblegum dispenser and broke the top open. He grabbed a handful and tossed them under Vyvyan's feet. However, he didn't slip or fall "Damn! It always works in Tom & Jerry!" Rick sighed.
"Hey, Rick," Neil called.
"Yes, Neil?" he replied.
"Can you hand me a packet of raisins, please?"
Rick snorted "What do I look like? A spotty teenager working at a cinema snack bar?"
Neil frowned "Well, yeah."
Rick glared at him "Neil,"
"Yeah?"
"Shut up." Rick then decided it would be a good time to pull out the taffy machine to stop Vyvyan from stealing all his favourite sweets. He grabbed hold of the tube and pried it off the wall. He then pointed it in Vyvyan's direction "Hey you redheaded bastard!"
Vyvyan turned and growled angrily at Rick "Bugger off!" he bit the top off a shaken Coca-Cola can and threw it. It exploded as it collided with Rick's head, buying himself time to raid the candyfloss machine.
The Coke washed all over the floor, covering Rick and Neil. Mike climbed onto the top of a vending machine to keep dry.
"Hey, watch it you guys!" He yelled.
The force of the can's explosion knocked Rick to the ground. Neil on the other hand just stood like a lemon "Oh, great. Now I have two percent chance of getting cancer, hey, thanks a lot, Vyvyan!" he moaned.
Vyvyan looked up for a brief second, he was in a mound of sweets and sent them flying everywhere as he raise dup "No problem Neil." He smiled and waved but then dived back into the sweets.
Rick stood, dizzy from the fizzyness of the Cokebomb and wobbled, He then looked up and glared insanely at Vyvyan "Candyfloss… Is… My favourite…"
Vyvyan turned and stuck his candy-covered fingers up at him and started munching all of the candyfloss. Suddenly, Rick grabbed the taffytube and set it to high velocity. However, he didn't realize he had the tube lug in and it started to expand "Oh shit." He murmured. He dropped the tube and started panicking "Ah! What am I going to do?"
The bolts around the machine started firing out. One bounced off Neil's head. He sighed and then fell unconscious. Taffy leaked from the edges. A rumbling erupted from within. Rick gulped and began running in Vyvyan's direction. All Vyv saw was a blur flash past. He turned back around, mouthful of candy and was met with a powerful blast of taffy.
Gradually the pressure died down and the blast narrowed down to a trickle. AS the taffy dripped from the wall, Mike walked towards it. Rick and Vyvyan opened their eyes. They were stuck to the wall.
"What just happened?" Rick asked, trying to free his arm. All Mike saw was a pair of eyes among sticky pink goo.
Vyvyan smiled "That was absolutely brilliant!" he tried pulling his back off the wall but he was also stuck there.
Neil joined Mike and stared in disbelief at the two hanging from the wall. He shrugged and wondered off to screen 3 which was the one on his ticket.
"Oh that's right, Neil, wonder off, enjoy yourself while me and Vyvyan are stuck to a wall by pink taffy with no means of getting down." Rick shouted after him.
"Yeah! And I'm upside down!" Vyvyan added.
"Are you?" Mike asked turning his head to one side,
"But I can see your eyes right next to me!" Rick added.
Vyvyan managed to lift his head for a brief moment "No, those are some eyes I painted on the tips of my boots to scare the moles away." His head snapped back against the wall.
"Uh… Moles?" Rick inquired.
Vyvyan then somehow, pulled himself off the wall and flipped forward onto the floor. He stood up strings of taffy stretched between him and the wall. He tried scraping it off but he only made it worse.
"Vyv, go clean yourself up." Mike pointed down to the toilets down a corridor.
"Okie-dokie, Mikey." Vyvyan did a half-hearted salute and headed down the hall. Every time he took a step, he had to pull really hard since he was so sticky.
"Wait! You can't leave me up here!" Rick pleaded "You know I don't have a head for heights!"
"Rick, you're only a few feet of the ground." Mike stated.
"Ah! I'm that high? Oh no! I'm blacking out!" Rick cried but then he fell limp. The taffy started to sag and he slowly slipped down the wall.
"I'll meet you and Vyv at screen 3, okay?" Mike was already gone before Rick managed to come back to consciousness.
"No! Wait! Mike, I can't get up!" He tried calling after him and even though Mike heard him he decided to ignore the cries for help.
"Oh, bloody hell!" Rick sobbed "Fine, that's it. If you want something done you have to do it yourself." He used the clean side of the wall as support as he pulled up form the floor and slithered along to the bathroom.
Finally, when he reached the fork in the corridor and saw the girl's bathroom and the boy's, he was slammed into by a little tabby cat. However, it kept running and the long strings of taffy grew tighter and tighter until eventually… MEEEOOWW! The cat flew backwards and into Rick's stomach.
"Oh that's just typical," he yelled after a moment of silence. He stood arms crossed and angry "I try and go to the bathroom and a cat decides it once to stick to my stomach and started clawing me…" The cat wriggled about but seemed to actually mold into the pink goo until only one of it's paws waved about frantically and then that too disappeared.
Vyvyan came out of the bathroom in a hurry, no longer sticky. But in his haste he banged into Rick's back and you can only imagine what position they were stuck in.
"What the hell?" Vyvyan shouted as he tried prying himself away from Rick.
"Wha? Oh great!" Rick ranted "Thanks a lot Vyvyan! Now we're both stuck. I hope you're happy you bastard! People are gonna think we're a couple since you are stuck to my back in that peculiar way!"
"Rick, calm down, just go and grab that crowbar and hand it to me." Vyvyan said, sounding calm.
"Fine, I don't see how it will help though." He handed it to Vyv.
"Thanks, mate." He then shoved it between them and started to push and pull vigorously.
"OW! That hurts! Stop it, Vyvyan! Stop it!" Rick cried.
"Wait, I almost got it!"
"Try it form a different angle!"
"Alright then!"
"AHHH! Not there you stupid twat! That's going up my jacksie!"
"Sorry about that…hehe."
"Try higher up!"
"I am trying higher up!"
"No you are not!"
"Yes I am!"
"Bloody hell! You're so thick aren't you!"
"Look, I'll do the strenuous stuff, okay? Brace yourself this is going to hurt you a lot more than it will hurt me."
"What? No! Wait!"
"Get ready and, clench!"
CRUNCH
"AAAAAAAAHHH!"
"What are you up to?" Mike asked peeking around the corner "Is there something you're not telling me?"
The two froze and looked at each other. Rick sighed "That's it!" he flung himself forwards and Vyvyan went flying across the cinema lobby and skidded across the floor. He stood and came charging back.
"That hurt you bastard!" Vyvyan roared.
Suddenly, just before the two collided again, the tabby cat burst out from the taffy around Rick's chest, hissing and waving it's claws everywhere. It jumped down and galloped away. Rick wobbled, shocked by the force that the little kitty had put on his chest. A hole was left in the pink goo wrapped around him.
"AH! IT"S ALIENS ALL OVER AGAIN!" Vyvyan howled. He then grabbed a fire extinguisher and started beating the already dazed and confused Rick in the head with it.
Clang "Take that you mutant scum!" Clang "How dare you invade my planet!" Clang "Only I'm allowed to suck people's brains and do weird violent experiments!" Clang Clang Clang "Take that!" Clang "And that!" Clang "And some of this!" Clang "Go back to Mars to where you're mommy's waitin' for ya!" Clang "Die" Clang"You" Clang "BASTARD!" Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang
Vyvyan then dropped to the floor exhausted. He looked at the fire extinguisher and saw it had been dented so badly, it was twisted into the shape of Dani Minogue. He shook his head and threw it behind him. He stumbled and slowly pulled himself to his feet, still panting from exhaustion. Mike came to his side and looked down with him.
After a long moment of silence Vyvyan finally said something "I wonder if they have any molesters left." And hobbled off. Mike glanced back at the ground, shrugged, lit a cigar and walked away.
