The Chase
Landry/Tyra, Post-Season One, PG13, 1097 words, Title from Avatar

"Wanna go see a movie?" Tyra asked Landry that day at the Alamo Freeze. He didn't respond at first so Tyra asked again.

"Landry!" she screamed. "Movie? Tonight?"

Landry quickly got out of his trance.

"Yeah, of course."

"All you had to say."

--

They went to see Spider-Man 3 that night with almost every other person in West Texas.

"Is it really necessary for all these people to be here? We're never going to see this movie? And why did we come this far? There is a movie theater in Dillon you know." Tyra hissed at Landry as he parked in the parking lot. The line inside the theater spread outside and practically down the street.

"Tyra, this is the nicest movie theater you'll even be in. Trust me. And you know there's this thing called the internet. And when you have the internet you can buy a whole bunch of stuff on it. Like movie tickets."

"You already got them?"

"That's what I'm saying."

Tyra laughed as she walked out of the car. She laughed even more as they walked past every person in line and right to the machine where you could pick up your already ordered tickets. Landry slipped his credit card inside and out they came.

As they walked back to Landry's car when the movie ended, they began getting harassed by a big old guy. Who was clearly drunk.

"Hey baby, wanna hang with me tonight? Yeah you know it. C'mon baby, stop hanging with this loser. Come be with a real man."

Landry tried to approach the guy but Tyra stopped him.

"Don't give him the time. Keep walking."

"Yeah, that's right. Walk away. Be with that pussy you little bitch."

Before Landry can turn around and tackle the guy, Tyra pushed him to the side. She walked up to the guy herself, slapped him in the face and then proceeded to kick him in the balls. She ran back towards Landry's car.

"Hurry up and get out of here before he chases us!!"

Landry was already ahead of her. He was gone before she even finished her sentence.

"I can't believe you did that."

"He was an asshole. I'm pretty sure with that huge stomach of his he even couldn't even see his balls. So he wasn't missing anything special."

Landry and Tyra began laughing hysterically. The air was cool, and no one else was on the road. Just Landry's small car in the big empty Texas landscape. Tyra looked over at Landry and leaned closer to him. When he turned his head, there she was to greet him. Her lips, her hands, her hair. Landry took one hand off the steering wheel and held onto her face, their lips parting and meeting, fingers tracing the skin across their cheeks and necks. Landry's foot began pressing harder down on the gas petal, his car going faster and faster, never staying straight between the lines. It was passionate and reckless, all wrapped in one.

Tyra opened her eyes and looked at the window and saw a bright light heading right towards her.

"Look out!!" she screamed.

Landry let go of Tyra and grabbed hold of the steering wheel, as he saw another car head right for him. He turned the wheel as hard as he could as the other car headed passed him by. Both began screaming as Landry lost control of the car, as it spun around in circles all across the road. They felt the car roll down a short hill and lightly slam into something before it finally stopped.

Both tried to regain their composure as fast as they could.

"Are you alright," Landry asked her.

"I'm fine."

After a few minutes they began laughing.

"You were screaming like a little girl," Tyra said to him as she tried to stop herself from crying.

"Yeah, you wouldn't be saying anything if you would have seen your face."

They laughed some more, until they began to wonder how they stopped moving in the first place.

"What did I hit?" Landry backed up a little and turned the lights on and saw a car in front of him. It was a nice one too, not like those old abandoned cars you might see just stranded in the middle of nowhere.

"What is a car like that doing here?"

Landry looked closer and felt his jaw drop. Matt's head was peaking out the back window with the most confused look Landry's even seen on his face. And while they couldn't see his whole body, both Landry and Tyra were pretty sure he didn't have a shirt on. They couldn't tell if he had pants on but they were guessing that he didn't. Soon they saw Julie's head also peak out the back window, her messy hair all over the place.

Landry and Tyra looked at each other, and then at Matt and Julie, and began laughing. Matt looked at Julie, lying in front of him, completely naked – their post-sex make-out session put, literally, to a screeching halt.

"Well… this is… awkward," Matt said.

Just then it hit her (figuratively speaking this time).

"That asshole hit my mom's car!! Oh my God… oh my God. Put your clothes on. Oh my God. My mom's going to kill us."

She quickly put the clothes she could find on her, and crawled over to the front seat so she could get out of the car. She surveyed the damage, thanks to the light from Landry's car and noticed nothing but small scratches near the front light that her mom probably wouldn't even notice.

"You are so lucky." She screamed at him. He continued laughing.

"You two have a nice night? Nice shirt by the way."

Julie was livid. What was he talking about? What was so funny? She looked down and noticed that it was Matt's shirt she was wearing, and not her own.

"Uh, Jules…"

She turned to see a shirtless Matt walking towards her with her own shirt in his hand.

"Yeah… you kinda have my shirt. Can… I have it back?"

"Damn, someone's been working out in the off season," Tyra yelled from the car, still unable to control her laughter. Julie shot Tyra a dirty look which shut her up real quick.

"Sorry," Tyra yelled out.

"Can you two leave now? This is embarrassing."

"Yeah, yeah, we're going. Enjoy the rest of your night." Landry yelled out as he backed his car up and drove back towards the road.

Who knew going to the movies would be this eventful?
