"Steven, you are going to love this movie!" Jackie Burkhart gushed to her boyfriend as they walked away from the concession bar having bought their movie watching snacks.
Hyde frowned, "Jackie, what part of me makes you think I'll love a musical that takes place in the fifties?"
"The part that loves me." she replied, smiling brightly, "I love this movie, Steven. I've already seen in six times."
"Then why do you wanna watch it again?" Hyde asked, hoping he could get her to change her mind about the movie; after all, Grease wasn't exactly on his list of 'Must See Movies'
"Because Steven," Jackie started to say, "I love this movie and I want to share it with the person I love." She paused and then wrapped her slender arm around his muscular one, "And because I've seen it so many times I know where all the boring parts are so we can use that time to make out."
Looking down at the raven haired beauty cuddled against his arm, Hyde smirked, "This might actually be a pretty good movie after all."
His words made Jackie giggle as they moved themselves away from the counter of snacks. They were nearing the stand where their tickets would be taken and they'd be pointed in the direction of the theater screening their movie, when Jackie took a look at the snacks they had bought—a medium bucket of popcorn in Hyde's hands and a large soda that she held in her own grasp.
"Steven, wait." She said as she held him arm back to halt his steps. "We need napkins and a straw for the soda."
The cheerleader then let go of the arm belonging to the curly haired rebel and hurried back over to the concession area. Not saying a word Hyde followed behind her. He figured he'd stand back and wait for Jackie to retrieve the items but something on the smaller table that held all the movie snack utensils, caught his eye.
Keeping it cool, Hyde made his way over to the silver facet looking thing coming out from the table top. He placed the bowl of popcorn underneath the nozzle and began to press down on the dispenser causing butter to ooze out and land on the hot fresh popcorn. He kept his right hand down on the button while his left slowly turned the bowl in a circular motion, making sure the butter was distributed evenly. He could have kept adding more and more butter but the sudden voice from beside him stopped his actions.
"What are you doing?" the voice demanded to know.
Hyde turned to see his girlfriend looking upset, her hands—including the one that held the napkins and straw—on her hips; he shrugged, "I'm adding some extra butter to the popcorn."
"Ew!" Jackie argued, "I don't know which word is worse, Steven. 'Extra' or 'butter.'"
Frowning slightly Hyde responded, "Jackie, it's just butter."
A gasp came from Jackie's lips before she began to speak, "Steven, it's not just butter. It's never just butter. Butter is evil." She declared with a serious expression on her face. "Butter is what makes fat pimply girls, fat and pimply!"
Hyde eyed her suspiciously, "You've never had butter before have you?"
"Of course I've had butter before, Steven." Jackie said resisting the urge to roll her eyes, "I'm just not a freak who walks around taking bites off of a stick of butter."
"When was the last time you added butter? To anything." He asked his question, lifting his chin up a bit.
Jackie squinted her eyes together as she frowned, "I don't keep track of my butter intake."
"Really?" he asked, not appearing too convinced, however when Jackie nodded her head he changed his question, "Fine. But if you had to, when would you say was the last time you put butter on something?"
"Not…not that long ago." Jackie said nervously, "It wasn't really a lot and it was margarine not butter…because margarine is better than butter!"
He held in a chuckle at her slight outburst, "Jackie, what's the difference between butter and margarine?"
"Well margarine is healthier for you than butter is because…" she struggled for a few seconds, "Because it's not icky greasy butter!"
"Come on, Jackie," Hyde said as he outstretched his hand holding the bucket of popcorn, towards her, "Take a few pieces of buttered popcorn."
With a look of disgust written on her face, Jackie backed away from the bucket as if it had been full of slimy Earthworms.
"No."
"But this is something I love and I want to share it with the person I love." Hyde repeated her words from earlier—trying to keep his Zen in place.
The brunette crossed her arms over her chest, "That only works when I say it."
"Fine." He at last relented, "But at least hold it for me while I get back in line to get a pickle."
As soon as Jackie heard his words her eyes went large. A pickle? He couldn't get a pickle or else he'd smell like pickles and Jackie Burkhart does not kiss anybody that smells like pickles.
"Fine! I'll eat the popcorn!"she agreed quite loudly which made Hyde smirk as he moved the popcorn closer to her.
Jackie stared down at the bucket of popcorn with a scowl before slowly—very slowly—inching her hand into the bucket. Reluctantly, she grabbed two or three pieces from the top, cringing at how wet and squishy they already felt, and began to move them to her lips.
Her eyes darted to her boyfriend's. "Just remember, if this butter changes the way I look, you asked for it!"
"Alright." Hyde agreed with a chuckle.
Wanting this to be over as quick as possible, Jackie popped the popcorn pieces into her mouth and quickly began to chew. However, after a few seconds her chewing slowed and she closed her eyes, suppressing a moan. Hyde watched with a smirk.
"Good, huh?" he asked, already knowing the answer.
She opened her eyes and moaned back, "So good."
The smirk on Hyde's face grew into a smile. He was happy to see Jackie happy as she indulged a little.
"Here." He said, handing her the container of popcorn, "Enjoy, Doll."
Jackie wasted no time in grabbing the popcorn bucket and holding it close to herself, seeing Hyde hold back a chortle and grab the forgotten soda before they headed their way back to the ticket taker. As they walked Jackie continued to dig her hand into the tub, coming out with handfuls of popcorn that she deposited into her waiting mouth. It seemed like with every new step they took Jackie was scarfing down a new bunch of buttered popcorn.
She continued stuffing her face until she abruptly stopped when they reached the line of fellow movie goers waiting to give their ticket.
"Steven, here." She shoved the bucket back into his arms, "You need to get this away from me."
He frowned before asking, "Why? You were enjoying it."
"I was. Which is exactly why you need to take it." Jackie informed while wiping her mouth with one of the napkins when she noticed his confused expression she went on into detail "If it's good with the taste, it's bad for the waist."
Hyde's brows furrowed deeper, he could only imagine where she had learned that, "Jackie, a few pieces of popcorn isn't gonna hurt you."
"I know that. But you added butter to the popcorn and pieces of buttered popcorn can hurt me." she argued, "Steven, what if I eat too many pieces and my face broke out into pimples and I got so fat that the only way to move me anywhere was to roll me around? Then you wouldn't love me anymore."
"None of that is gonna happen." Hyde firmly stated, "And even if it did, I'd buy you some Clean & Clear, roll you out on our dates, and I'd love you just the way I do now."
"Aw Steven." She gushed before lifting herself up onto her tiptoes to give him a kiss that he had very much earned.
They shared a small smile when Jackie pulled her lips away from his before she nodded her head up and down.
"Okay, you can give that back to me now." She declared.
Chuckling lightly, Hyde did as he was told and it wasn't until he had handed it back to her that he noticed the amount of popcorn that was actually left in the tub.
"Jackie, you're almost finished with that whole bucket." He said, not believing what his eyes were seeing.
"Yeah." she said looking down at the tub that was now only a little less than halfway full of popcorn; her head shot back up at Hyde, "You better go buy another one before the movie starts."
"Alright." Hyde agreed not putting up much of a fight,
"Oh you better get one for yourself too."
"Alright."
"And don't forget the butter!" she called as he began to walk back to the concession stand.
Without turning around he replied, "Yes, dear."
