I sat on the porch of my home, playing a diner type game on my phone. I had called Colin last night and we had made plans to go out to the movies. I dressed in simple casual clothing for the occasion. I was interested how well a movie theater and a cellphone addict would mesh together. Not well I bet, but it was worth seeing, I suppose.

Colin said he would be here to pick me up by 6. I look at the clock on my phone: 5: 59. As soon as it turned 6, I hear two beeps from a car horn. A sleek, red convertible pulls up on the lightly snow covered curb. I approach the passenger side, its window rolls down, Colin's smile shining from the other side. He's wearing a pink button-up shirt with light blue jeans. "You ready?"

A short car ride full of small talk later, we arrive at the movie theater. It was actually...kind of nice, until he had to answer a call for some "Bob". We grab our tickets, then Colin, holding his phone by the shoulder, goes to buy one large popcorn with two sodas. "Here!" He holds a soda out to me. "All this popcorn will definitely make you thirsty!"

"Oh, thanks!" I take a long sip of the sweet goodness as we settle down into our seats, then put my drink in the cupholder. The lights shut off as a prompt popped up on the big-screen to turn off all cellphones. "Welp, gotta go, Bob! I'll tell you more about the date later!" Colin hangs up, then powers off his phone, slipping it in his pocket. I wholly expected him to be making calls during the movie, and well, annoy the people watching! Well, guess this was just gonna be an average movie date then.

Ten minutes in, I feel tapping on my shoulder. "Hey, you like the movie so far?" Colin whispers to me. "Yeah, it's alright, I guess. This is the Sonic movie, right?"

"Yeah. Remember when they showed the first trailer with this Sonic guy? Man, if they woulda went with that design, they'd have to name the movie Sonic the HUMAN RAT!" I burst out laughing, then quickly cover my mouth. It wasn't because I had laughed out loud or anything, I just had this real embarrassing laugh where I would snort. "Haha, yeah, pretty funny, right? Cute laugh, by the way." Colin throws some popcorn in his mouth.

"Yeah, but you forget, Sonic was actually a deformed cat, because, uhhhhhhh, meow?" I mimic Sonic's movements from the trailer, Colin bursts out chuckling. "Ha ha, good one!" We were both making noise like a couple of rambunctious elementary students! "Shhhhhhhhh!" A crowd from up front is glaring at our direction. "Oh! Sorry!" I chuckle nervously, embarrassed. I feel Colin's arm wrap around my shoulder. "Ah, don't worry, we can still enjoy the movie. Let's make sure we keep quiet, though."

We continue to watch the movie, all the while poking fun at it.
