Chapter 4 – Getting In

Alice knocked on the door of the manager's office, and then walked in. I followed behind her and we both sat down in the chairs in front of his desk.

"Can I help you?" He asked as he looked at us. He was probably wondering why we had got so dressed up to go to the movies.

Alice smiled. "My sister and I were planning on seeing Confessions of a Shopoholic tonight for our birthday, but when we got here, it was already a little crowded. We were wondering if you had any vacant theaters available for us."

"I'm sorry, Miss. But we have every theater in use. Maybe you should see if an older movie is out that you two want to see."

"I'm afraid we just can't take "no" for an answer. We have been planning this for months. And I happen to know for a fact that you have one vacant theater that is already prepared for the movie we want to see. Can't you let us in as a birthday present?"

"How do you know about that?" The man demanded.

"I have my sources. What will it take to get us in that theater," She got a blank look on her face for half a second, and then added, "alone."

I guess his option was that they sell tickets for the vacant theater.

"There would be no possible way," the manager said, clearly shocked that she was one step ahead of him.

Alice got up and locked the already shut door. Then she handed a big wad of paper bills to him. He looked at her for a minute, and then picked up the phone on his desk. He argued with the other person for a second, but finally smiled and told us to meet a woman outside of his office. As we were walking out he wished us a Happy Birthday.

Like he had said, a woman was waiting for us. She pointed us down a long hallway.

"Keep going until you get to the last theater. The movie starts in exactly ten minutes. If you aren't in there, I will go ahead and start it without you," she said curtly.

"Okay, we will be in there." Alice said. "You can watch it too if you want."

"No thank you," she seemed honored that we had invited her to our 'birthday present' and when she spoke again, it was a bit more polite. "My shift is over after I start this last movie, and then I can go home. I've been up since 4:30 this morning and I'm exhausted."

"We won't keep you waiting then. Bella, did you want some popcorn?" Alice asked, smiling at our private joke.

I smiled too and shook my head. "Dinner filled me up. If I have anything else I just might explode!"

Alice and I headed for the theater and the woman headed for control room to go and turn on the movie for us. Once we were out of earshot from the woman I looked at Alice with a questioning look.

"What is she really going to do?" I asked. It was obvious the woman just needed an excuse so that we wouldn't bother her with anything else. The manager had probably told her to get us whatever we wanted.

"She's going to start the movie, lock the control room door, and play on her laptop the rest of the afternoon." Alice said, rolling her eyes.

I laughed, and we went to take our seats. We sat at the very front and the lights dimmed. The commercials started, and I got comfortable in my chair. Alice had already leaned back in hers, and had propped her feet on the bar in front of us. I kicked off my heels and looked at the big screen as the opening credits came up.
