The couple ahead of Rinoa paid the worker, took their popcorn and headed to their theatre. Rinoa pulled Squall up to the counter and the worker smiled politely at them.
"How can I help you?" asked the worker whose nametag read 'Kelly'. Rinoa looked up at the menu that was displayed above the worker, Kelly's, head.
"Can I have four large popcorns, a medium pepperoni pizza, three hot dogs, a large fries, a large diet cola, a large cola," Kelly typed furiously at her cache register trying to keep up, "three small nachos, two bottles of water, and those candies right there." Rinoa pointed to a packet of sugar-covered bears.
The worker finished typing, "Is that all?" she asked a little hesitantly. Rinoa tapped her chin as if thinking and took another look at the menu before shaking her head. "That'll be 63.74." Rinoa smacked Squalls stomach.
"Pay the girl, Squally," she said. Squall rolled his eyes and reached for his wallet, he handed Kelly four 20s and she proceeded to give him his change. Then she turned around and looked at her surroundings.
The popcorn machine was to her left; the pizza oven was beside the nachos, which was next to the deep fryer to her right. The hotdogs were cooking in the grill machine next to the candies, and the pop machine was straight ahead of her.
Kelly took a deep breath and pressed a button on the pizza oven, then took out two large pop containers and put them under the nozzles for diet and regular cola. She pressed the picture of a large cup on top of each, and then the drinks started to pour.
She continued masterfully maneuvering herself through the stand and then when she reached the fridge containing the bottles of water her phone rang. She picked it up.
"Hello, you've reached the Galacti-Theatre. My name is Kelly how can I help you? Oh hi Markey, what's up? … What? … But we're so happy together!" Rinoa and Quistis looked at the worker who was preparing their food, but tried not to eavesdrop.
"What do you mean you met someone else?" she shouted into the phone. Rinoa looked at Quistis and Quistis turned away looking at the entrance. The janitor was cleaning some mess that was made at the front. He looked up and saw Quistis then winked at her and licked his lips.
Quistis quickly looked to the arcade trying to erase what had just occurred from her mind. "But I gave you everything, I gave you my virginity, and now you're dumping me over the phone for my cousin!" Rinoa couldn't help herself and she let out a gasp.
Kelly looked at her and narrowed her eyes, "Do you mind?" Rinoa cleared her throat and began to play with her ponytail, feigning ignorance. Kelly listened a moment longer before slamming the phone down and began to work again while mumbling obscenities under her breath. She placed the order on the counter and crossed her arms waiting for her next customers.
Seifer, Quistis, and Squall picked up the food and headed toward Irvine who was sitting at the couches, but Rinoa hung back, "Sorry about you're boyfriend." She offered.
"Don't worry, wait till he finds out my cousin has syphilis," Kelly began o laugh maniacally. Rinoa let out a fake chuckle and then headed after her friends while the girl continued to laugh.
Irvine put down his magazine when his friends came with food. He took the pizza box from Quistis' hands and placed it on the table where his feet had just been present. Rinoa sat down just as she heard a thump and looked over to see Selphie on the floor laughing while Zell helped her up.
Kaitlin plopped herself on a chair and put her feet up on Seifer's knees. He scowled at her, but she smiled and kicked off her brown heels. He pushed her feet off him, and they fell to the ground. She rolled her eyes and propped her feet under her butt.
"You've got to be more careful Selphie," said Zell as he sat down on the couch next to Selphie. She shrugged and took a piece of pizza from the box. He took he three hotdogs assuming they were all for him and placed them in his lap. As he unwrapped the foil from one of them the janitor came up behind him and whispered in his ear.
"Operation Beluga Orchid is a go," Zell turned slowly and looked at the man with a look of shock and fight on his face. The Janitor jumped back a bit and looked at Zell wide-eyed. "Whoa! You're not the Unabomber." Zell shook his head slowly.
"Who are you?" asked Kaitlin sipping her bottled water.
"I, cupcake, am Colonel Major General Commander Frank. I'm undercover here at this theatre; there's been suspicious activity here recently. I've been brought in to take care of the problem," he leaned in close to the circle of people and lowered his voice, "Pigs have been going missing. Pink pigs."
"How sad," said Selphie looking upset. Seifer smacked his forehead and groaned at the comment.
"Well I have to be off. The pigs won't save themselves," Frank tipped his janitor hat at them and winked at Quistis again, before heading towards the men's bathrooms.
"Good Luck!" Selphie called after him. Seifer groaned again, while he continued to eat nachos. Irvine smiled at Quistis.
"Ooh, somebody has a secret lover!" Quistis narrowed her eyes and launched a fry at the cowboy. He dodged it and laughed but a ketchup covered fry hitting and sticking to his face cut off his laughter. Quistis smiled and went back to eating. He wiped it off and picked up the cola.
"Why'd he think that you were the Unabomber Zelly?" asked Selphie turning to the fighter. He shrugged.
"Maybe it's that freaky black hoodie you're wearing," commented Seifer. Kaitlin pointed at Seifer's arm.
"You spilt Satan." Seifer looked at his arm and saw that there was nacho sauce on the sleeve of his trench coat. He groaned and stood to remove the dirty garment. He sat down again wearing a black t-shirt with a silver 'H' emblazoned on it.
Kaitlin looked at him. The arms of his shirt were fairly tight, and it showed off his well-developed muscles. Kaitlin stared at them a moment, then her eyes drifted to Quistis, who was clearly looking at the same thing. Quistis looked at Kaitlin and then blushed a little.
"I like you're sweater, Zelly! I think its splenderific!" Zell smiled at Selphie a light pink shade crossing his nose.
"Thanks Selph," Selphie smiled and then looked at her watch.
"We should hurry up and eat, our movie starts soon," she looked at the table to see that the food was gone. 'Who ate everything so fast?' Squall looked at Rinoa who was licking her fingers. She looked at everyone looking at her then let out a nervous giggle.
"I was hungry," she stated wiping her mouth daintily and crossing her ankles. Quistis scratched her nose.
"Okay…well if the movies are going to start then we should go use the bathroom so we don't have to during the movie." Kaitlin slipped on her shoes and sighed.
"Yes mom," Quistis rolled her eyes. Selphie got up smoothing out her jean skirt, then rearranged her blue fishnet stockings as she scratched her knee under her brown boots, and hopped up and down.
"Yay! Bathrooms!" she began to hop around wildly toward the women's bathroom the hood from her thin navy sweater bouncing wildly. She was dancing around to the bathroom when Frank came running in front of her. Selphie stopped suddenly to let him pass and slid on the wet floor toward a wall. She made contact with it and then stood laughing.
"Does she feel pain?" asked Seifer with his trench coat over his arm, "She's like the terminatrix."
Kaitlin went to help Selphie up, "You really should stop falling Selph, it can't be good for you." Selphie just laughed. Kaitlin felt her heel slip from underneath her on the wet floor and saw the wall shift quickly to a view of the ceiling.
When they hit the floor, they both began to laugh while trying to push their skirts back over their underwear. Seifer hit his forehead and groaned.
"They are not driving us home."
