"I know!" Andrew jumped from his place- the couch, where he was reading a book -at the scream his girlfriend gave in his direction.

"You know what?" He replied, trying to act nonchalant, but in reality he was recovering from a mini heart attack his girlfriend gave him. Penny looked at him with her big blue eyes, in a pleading way. Great she was going to ask something and he'd agree no matter what... "What?" He repeated, impatiently.

"Let's go to the movies!" Andrew blinked, surprised by such a simple request. "There's a marathon in old movies in the old theater, what do you say?" Penny knew she didn't have to say more, as Andrew was already getting up and placing his jacket on. "Do I take that as a yes?"

"Before I regret it..." He simply replied, earning a hug and a small kiss. He allowed Penny to drag him around the streets of New Athens, under the confused and shocked faces of the campers and permanent residents, that watched the scene with amusement and confusion. He could even hear some sentences like 'remember when we were that young...?' and the sort.

Soon, the couple was standing in front of the old theater, paying the satyr that was in charge of the tickets. The marathon of the day was about actions films and Andrew was surprised by the amount of female assistance. He had assumed that girls liked the mushy and romantic type, but this was evidence of the contrary.

"What's the first movie on the list?" Penny asked, looking at the program the satyr had given them with the tickets. Andrew paid attention to the program and saw some titles that one would assume were really old. Who would name a movie Fast Five? "Is this movie about five fast nymphs?"

"Beats me, who came up with these titles...?" Was Andrew's only complain before walking inside the theater.


After the first movie was over, Penny turned to look at Andrew to discuss it.

"That didn't have any nymphs in the plot." She started and Andrew could only nod and stretch. Those uncomfortable theater seats were doing a great job hurting his back. "Plus, where all those characters came from? I felt like they were talking in code at some point..."

"I'll assume there were four more before this one..." Andrew theorized, shrugging. "Sometimes, you just have to stop after number three..."

"But, what about that movie Thalia loves so much? The one with eight parts..."

"Must be a big success back in the day or it wouldn't be done for so long..."

"Or the one about the spy...?"

"In a period of more than 350 years, how many times had an actor played the same role?" Penny looked thoughtful while Andrew got up for a second. "I'll be right back, want something from the snack bar?"

"Nah, I'm good." She assured him, smiling. Andrew nodded and used the break between movies to use the bathroom. If he was going to stay sitting in that damp room for another three hours, he better not buy anything to drink. As soon as he got into the bathroom, he could have sworn that he saw something moving fast between the shadows. He took a glance before ignoring it.

Meanwhile, in the theater room, Penny was looking at the program, slightly sad that it was a marathon about action movies. She could not deal with a marathon of romantic movies or Andrew would had dumped her in the spot, but she was upset that no horror movie or scene had came up. She couldn't pull any of the old tricks Thalia had spoken of. She felt slightly frustrated having no excuse to cuddle or even hide in Andrew's chest.

She would have to take a chance, apparently.

Just as she was thinking that, Andrew had returned, looking back several times. And he was sporting a worry face. She looked at him, getting worried and simply placed a hand on his arm, making him jump in surprise.

"Oh, it's just you..." Just 'me'?! "Sorry, I had the feeling something was following me since the bathroom..." Penny blinked several times, surprised by that.

"What do you mean by 'something'?" Penny whispered, not wanting to cause a commotion. "Andrew, you OK?" He grabbed her hand and squeezed it.

"Yeah, probably some leaf that sneaked inside..." Neither sounded convinced, but Penny decided to take the conversation to safer ground.

"Andrew, what's a tomb raider?" Before Andrew could answer, she added. "I know that's someone who raids a tomb, but what could be the synonym?" Andrew chuckled, a bit disappointed that he was that obvious.

"It's the illegal term for 'archeologist'."

"Oh. So, we're about to see a movie about a bad guy that profanes a dead body?" She pointed at the program, showing him the title of the next movie.

"Considering how ambiguous the titles had been so far, don't rule anything out..."


The movie started and Penny had to bit her lower lip to scream in frustration.

The movie was great and that was the problem! She couldn't pretend to be scared about the situations, she had no excuse to get closer to Andrew. Andrew could sense her annoyance through the movie, but said nothing as he was more concern about the feeling that something was following him. He had it through the movie and was not disappearing.

Suddenly, though subtly and for a few seconds, a vision of spiders filled the screen. Unwillingly, Andrew grabbed Penny's hand, who said nothing and smiled. But her delight was transformed when she heard him scream in panic.

Her boyfriend's lap was covered in small spiders that were crawling up his chest and Andrew couldn't do anything except not to pass out in panic. Taking charge, Penny mentally apologized to her boyfriend and soaked him head to toe. That made the spiders back away, but ended on a very wet Andrew. Luckily, no one was paying attention, a another couple further from them was screaming for the same reason.

'A prank gone wrong...' Was Penny's thought, also helping the couple away from them. The movie was stopped and everyone was taken out, including a a shivering Andrew and a murderous Penny. Ignoring everyone's looks on them, she took her boyfriend to her home and, as soon as she made him cross the door, she began undressing him.

"Thank you..." Andrew whispered at her, a blushing spreading through his cheeks.

"Don't thank me yet..." Penny surprised him, frowning. "When I find out who was the idiot doing that, they will pay!" She growled, making Andrew chuckle. That made her look up and received a kiss from her boyfriend. "Uh?"

"You look adorable when you get possessive..." It was Penny's turn to blush, thinking that maybe the day didn't started like she wanted... but she managed to see Andrew's muscles under his T-shirt after all.

Not a bad way to end the day at all...


Fast Five, James Bond, Harry Potter and Tomb Raider does not belong to me! I wish they did!
