Here's the second part. Yay!
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
Previews. Whose brilliant idea was it to create previews of movies, at the movies, inside of a movie, but it not being the actual movie preview? What is the point of that, to possibly see these other movies? How? No one has ever heard of any of these movies before. And even if these movies were in the vault, how the hell do they know which is which? The group had to watch some... interesting movie previews, nonetheless. If anything, the cheesiness in these movie previews were sort a warm-up, and they all grew more and more afraid on just how ridiculous of a movie this actually could be. But they stayed diligent, and after about 20 minutes of deluded drama filled movie previews, the movie actually starts.
As the movie starts with a highly energetic theme blaring through their omni-tools, a few actor names came on screen big and bold for the world to see just before the title came up...
Back to the Future.
Whaaaaat?
Everyone started to laugh at the title. A movie about the freaking future? Really?
"What year was this movie made in?" someone in the audience asked.
"1985! Just checked!" someone else replied with a laugh.
Are Shepard and Garrus aware of this?
Nope.
It wasn't until about five to seven seconds, give or take a few into the first preview that Garrus grabs Shepard's hand and pulls her back away from the movie screen. He pulls her into the darkened forestry away far enough so no one to hear them as he shoves her against a tree and binds her there with his own body.
"Garrus, what are you crazy? Not right here where the world can-" he shuts her up with a harsh kiss. Rolling her eyes back she braces her hands against his chest for some kind of levity as she drowns within the kiss, he vibrating her lips with a satisfied growl. Growing deeper within the kiss, she shoves him off of her as she tries to speak, and he doesn't like that very much looking with hunger in his eyes.
"Whoa there, big boy." she says with a smirk. "The house is right there-"
"I don't want to be in the house." he purrs as he heads for her neck, gently holding his tongue on her most sensitive spot. She shivers in desire, giggling at the tickle that he sends her. "Aren't you the least bit... curious with how much we can get away with?" he continues to hum behind her ear. "Out here," he gently caresses her hip with his talons. "Where the world... just," he pulls her close. "might," he grabs her ass. "see?"
"This- oh God - this is just - just..." her legs melt as her arms snake around his neck for support. "Revenge for your- Oh my - your e-embarrassment about my porno remark." she smiles greatly enjoying the feeling.
"Well... I guess you caught me," his voice is dark is gruff as he chuckles in the slightest, in a way that makes him sound like a madman, and it drives her absolutely wild.
Growing in sudden strength (and a tad bit of biotic power) she shoves him just far enough for her to move and shove him to the softened ground full of leaves. She towers him and captures him, this time, as the forgotten movie blasts sound from the campsite, completely drowning their moment in noise.
Everyone giggles and talks about the crazy contraptions used in the movie, like hover skateboards, and something called a "Texico". Regardless of the ridiculousness of a future that they knew nothing of, the movie proved quite entertaining and they couldn't get enough of the wholesome aspect of it, or the cheesiness of it. It was full of action and promise, and its never boring. Time travel was a risky thing, at least, that is what these guys learned, so far.
On the other side of the outdoor movie theater, he turns her over to take dominance; she grabs his ass; he grabs her breasts; she tears off his shirt; he tears into her dress; he nips at her feather-like skin; she claws his armor-like back; He overcomes her; she overcomes him. It's quite the equal battle, really.
But just before they readied themselves to truly take one another, a gunshot was heard just a little too close for comfort about two feet from their faces.
Being forced to pause his actions, Garrus slowly lifted head in a deadly growl that resonated so deep, the earth moved under them. Keeping a protective body over hers, he goes into predator mode and uses his ears to see through the, now darkened forest to catch whoever threatens his Serenity. Only then, men stand proud, one by one, guns pointed at the couple... What a lovely surprise.
"Commander Serenity Shepard," a man with a goofy muffled voice shouted from the trees. "On your feet." Garrus stands slowly, remembering that he has nothing over his chest, as she stands gracefully, remnants of her dress gloriously dangling by threads revealing a little too much of her leg for Garrus' comfort. Her nostrils flare in obvious anger as both she and Garrus try to maintain their composure. They want to know who they are killing, before they have to bathe the blood off.
"Retired Commander," she hisses hatefully through her teeth. She is not happy.
"You are the woman who forced the Reapers to their death, are you not?" he shouts standing tall.
"So, what do you want, an autograph? With a pistol like that, I can carve it in your ass," her anger starts to bubble up.
"We are here to avenge our Fathers, you little bitch!" he hisses right back shooting the ground in front of her foot.
"Oh lord," Shepard throws her hands in the air, completely DONE.
Them... Ugh.
"Organ Men? Really?" Garrus says crossing his arms in disappointment. "And here I thought we were in for a real fight." He laughs at the ridiculous thought.
Organ Men are a rogue alliance set on killing Shepard for killing their God's, AKA "Reapers". They are nothing more than indoctrinated crazies, whose brains were never put to rest. They believe that killing the murderer of their God's will ensure them a life among Reapers. Shepard fought many a fleet before, including a time right before she went into the collector base about 4 years ago. A Doctor that Shepard had saved from a Batarian prison, was actually the leader of a base that tried to call upon the Reapers with an artifact that they found. They are made to cause destruction. Something that the Reapers left behind to keep everyone else busy for a while.
Because, you know, a broken Galaxy wasn't enough.
"We will avenge our God's. They will return!" he says aiming his weapon upon her chest with a red laser.
"Listen, you diluted shits. Your, so called "God's" are dead. Destroyed. Gone. Torn apart- We are using the metal from their ships to repair our worlds! They are not coming back! I am tired of trying to beat that in your heads!" she says turning on her shields.
"Then why don't you let us help rid you of that burden," he says shooting at them both as she starts dodging.
"I save all your asses from the demons that tried to kill you, and this is how you thank me?" she shouts, running, head first toward the apparent leader as she resonates some biotic power in her hand. Gunfire shoots towards her as she dodges every one to get closer to the asshole. "By ruining a little moment of happiness with my fucking boyfriend?!" she shouts pouncing on the leader and slamming his head into the ground.
Right then, Garrus swiftly hides behind a tree grabbing out his pistol and starts to shoot every target with ease and precision. Shepard does the same as she leaps from the, now headless body as she starts to conjure up a group stasis attack that some of the more advanced biotics have been teaching her. As the power is felt through the heart, she shoves her hands around one side of the tree and picks up the rest of the group with some impressive strength. Screaming, she slams them all down to the ground as she starts to float a little from the power in her veins. As half of them die, the other half grown as they try to stand. Wiping her hands clean, she waltzes to her man with a grin.
"And you say I never take you anywhere nice," she smiles knowingly as she bends over to pick up one of the men's guns just for Garrus to get a good look at her from behind.
"Very impressive," Garrus enjoys the view. "I see you have been practicing," he isn't sure if he is talking about her biotics or... something else.
"So, I better not hear anymore complaints," she says shooting a head on beat.
"I didn't think anything could be better than an enclosed plague that likes to make a home in your bloodstream before you shrivel up and die a horrible, painful, unforgiving death caused by your lovers puppy -dog faced plea to go with her to save a crazy, babbling, show tune singing Salarian."
"See? Improvement." her smile is bright as she shoots another with ease. "And that crazy, babbling, show tune singing Salarian saved your ass more than once, so I don't even wanna hear it." she shoots another.
Everyone back at the drive-in are so in tune with the movie, there is not another sound heard beyond the new world that they have found themselves in. It's so surreal as they can't even blink, and they stopped moving ages ago.
As the last man is shot, Shepard instantly drops her gun and walks with meaning to Garrus. Grabbing the slight indention of his chest with strength, she shoves herself into a tree and him into her.
"May I help you?" he says with a knowing smile. She glides her hands down his torso.
"Sex. Now."
He didn't have to be told twice to listen to the command.
As the boy somehow made it back home to his own time, Shepard and Garrus snuck back in their spots. Garrus is fully clothed, and Shepard is doing the best she can with the rather large tear in her dress, just before the 3/12 hour movie ended. They had pretended to have been there all night and watched the screen with blank eyes. The movie was coming to a wonderful conclusion before a large cliffhanger was dumped in their laps before the credits.
The crowd yelled and threw popcorn at the large screen as the words arose from the bottom of the screen, up. Looking at their childish behavior, Shepard and Garrus just look to their friends completely wide-eyed at their reactions of how the movie ended.
"How can someone do something like that?" Jack shouted in anger.
"There is actually a good sy-fy, for once, only for them to drop that shit all over you!" Zaeed added.
"Something that sucks you in and makes you love it and... THAT ending!" Tali says kicking the sand.
Shepard laughs at her friends as she adds her two sense. "You do realize movies do sometimes have sequels." she seemed to remind them of something that they already knew. "And if not, just write your own ending out of it. Ever heard of Roleplay?"
"Oy, Lola. Don't say that word. When you say roleplay, all I see is you and... I don't even want to think about it," he walks away with a disgusted face.
As the night came to a close for most of the Normandy, they made a solid pact to watch one movie a night one their monthly vacations. And from then on, they educated themselves on the old and awesome movies that humans could offer at the early stages of technology, and on one of those nights, Shepard and Garrus would learn something new about themselves within the forest.
What a great way to bring back old traditions of a 20th century Drive-in.

Well, there you have it. My little story. It was fun to write, and I enjoy the challenge of writing little one/twoshots of Mass Effect. I think that I will do this more often.
Yes, I have to admit, that them yelling about the ending of the movie was my way of venting out the ending of the game. I'm better now. It's not a big deal, really, which is why I added Shepard reply in the end.
I really hope that you guys liked it, I loved writing it.
I really want to thank Sempaiko on Deviantart for giving me this idea with her wonderful artwork (the artwork that is the cover for her story) If you like it, GO SEE HER OTHER STUFF! It's awesome!
Review if you like. :)
