Carline looked at the building Sarabeth had just pulled up in front of. "I think your plan sucks," she announced bluntly.

Sarabeth sighed and pulled herself out of the car and walked toward the Blockbuster pretending she hadn't heard.

"Honestly," Carline announced jumping out of the car and gesturing for the pirates to follow her. "Is this how you plan to show these people our culture?"

"You got a better way to do it?" Sarabeth demanded finally turning around to look at her friend. "Is there another way that you can think of to introduce a culture as different as ours is from theirs in one afternoon. Besides I'm only getting one movie."

"Which one," demanded Carline.

"It's a surprise," Sarabeth answered and pushed open the door of the movie store. She immediately dashed off in search of what she was after leaving Carline to try and watch the pirates.

Will leaned over and whispered to Carline, "What's a movie?"

Carline sighed, "A movie is, put very simply a bunch of moving pictures that tell a story."

Elizabeth looked amazed, "Can you really do that?"

"Yeah," Carline mumbled going over to a rack of movies to see if anything caught her eye.

"How," Jack demanded.

"I don't know," Carline answered, "but it just works."

Sarabeth jumped out from behind a rack of movies and grinned, "Are we ready to go?"

"Yeah," Carline said looking away from a copy of 'Memoirs of a Geisha.'

"Great," Sarabeth laughed. "Here's the keys I'll be out in a few seconds."

Carline looked at the case Sarabeth was holding and tried to read the title.

Sarabeth quickly shoved the box behind her back and simply repeated, "It's a secret!"

"Fine," Carline shot good naturedly as she snatched the keys from her friend and pulled the pirates out the door.

Sarabeth swung open the door to the car moments later and dropped the bag with the movies between the seats.

As Sarabeth pulled out of the parking lot Carline finally got to look at the movie. "You've got to be kidding."

"It's culture," Sarabeth said not looking away from the road.

Carline shook her head, "'Rocky Horror Picture Show' is not culture it's cult."

"Same difference."

"It's not the same, damn it!"

Elizabeth gasped audibly from the backseat and looked from Carline to Sarabeth, neither one said anything. Finally she got tired of waiting, "Well!"

"Well what?" Carline asked without turning around.

Elizabeth glared, "Aren't you going to apologize for using such strong language?"

A wicked grin spread across Sarabeth's face, "Shit."

Carline caught on instantly, "Bitch."

The girls looked at each other and said the next word together, "Fuck."

Elizabeth was about to faint, she had never heard such language. Will was angry that anyone could do that without any remorse. Jack was simply impressed.

"Sorry Elizabeth," Sarabeth giggled. "It's just that curseing is sort of part of our daily lives. The truth is no mater what happens we're gonna swear a little just be happy we don't cuss every other word."

Elizabeth was still skeptical, "When did swearing become the norm?"

"Sometime during the seventies I think," Carline answered as the car pulled up in front of Sarabeth's house.

Everyone pilled out of the car and went to the door, Sarabeth struggled with the keys for a moment before suddenly slaming the door open. "I'm home," she yelled, "Oh yeah, no one is ever here."

Carline threw herself on to the couch. "Bring me water," she shouted at Sarabeth.

Jack did likewise, "Bring me rum!"

"Demands, always demands," Sarabeth shouted back. "I cant handle this kind of pressure!" She collapsed in the hallway.

"Are you alright?" Will asked leaning over the girl.

"I'm fine," She answered, "I've just sort of lost the will to stand."

"Rum!" persisted Jack.

"Fine!" Sarabeth shot back as she pulled herself up and stormed into another room.

Carline laughed and gestured for Will and Elizabeth to sit. They finally settled on the love seat.

Sarabeth poked her head into the family room and asked, "Do either of you want anything? I've got Pepsi, Frescia, and water."

"Pepsi?" Will asked

"Frescia?" Elizabeth repeated.

"Coming right up," Sarabeth said disappearing again.

Will looked at Carline, "I just wanted to know what it was."

"Just drink it," Carline advised, "It'll be fine."

Sarabeth came back with four glasses and a bottle. She handed them out and sat down on the floor.

Carline turned to her, "Start the movie."

Sarabeth jumped back to her feet and put in the first movie.

"The men were dressed as women," Will mumbled.

Carline smiled, "It can only get weirder from here on in."

Elizabeth finally looked away from the screen, "It can get weirder?"

Sarabeth giggled, "Oh yeah."

"Thank God for rum," Jack mumbled taking a swig.

"The plant was singing," Jack announced.

Sarabeth laughed, "Rocks doesn't it?"

"That was so violent," Elizabeth whispered.

"You'll get used to it," Carline observed.

"Really?" Will asked.

"I liked the blue fish," Elizabeth said.

Carline smiled, "She's my favorite too."

"That was so different from the other movies," Will said

"Would you like something more like the others?" Sarabeth asked.

"I would," Jack said.

Sarabeth finally stopped laughing and wiped her eyes, "Best movie ever!"

"The vulgarity," whispered Elizabeth.

"The singing," Will mumbled.

"The crappy animation," Jack said.

Carline looked at her friend, "My turn to pick a movie, I'll pick a good one."

Carline gave a very audible sniff, "I love that movie. It's so romantic,"

"Why did that one girl look like Elizabeth," Will asked.

"She didn't," Sarabeth assured him, "you just think she did."

"I'm fairly certain you're lying," Elizabeth anounced.

Any further discussion was cut off by the door to Sarabeth's house swinging open and her mother walking in.

"Sarabeth you didn't tell me we were having company."

"I'm not going to lie to you mom," Sarabeth answered. "These are pirates from another dimension."

"Sarabeth!" Carline yelped

"What she was grilling me!"

"Are you on drugs?" Sarabeth's mother asked

"No," replied Sarabeth.

"Well just as long as you're not high," Sarabeth's mother smiled then disappeared into another room.

Will looked at Carline, "Are all parents that insensitive here."

"No," Carline answered, "some are much worse."

I'm back everyone! No I wasnt on vacation that long. School started up again and I had writers block. I'll give kudos to whoever can guess the "culture" movies, I think I made it fairly obvious and a list will be appearing with the next Chapter. Ta!

P.S. the underlined stuff is page breaks, sorry if it's confuseing
