Chapter 3: Watching a Movie

"What do you want to do today?" Ichigo asked as he flipped through the newspaper. Nothing interesting was happening in the "Events" section. They had gone 3 days before doing anything fun, and summer was going to end sooner or later.

Rukia looked up from her breakfast and thought for a moment.

"Don't know. Maybe watch a movie?"

"Sounds nice, which one?

She reached over and grabbed the newspaper highlighting all the current viewings. She skimmed through and found an interesting looking one. Tron: Legacy stood out above the rest.

"How about this one?" She tossed the newspaper towards Ichigo who caught it quickly. He opened it up and the huge ad with the words 'TRON' popped up right in front of him. He smiled, an action flick. Just what he needed.

"Cool. I'll grab my keys."

"Keys? You can drive?"

Unbeknownst to her, Ichigo had received his driver's license and purchased a BMW motorcycle. It was the apple of his eye.

"Yeah, got it this school year. Get dressed, I'll tell the old man, Yuzu, and Karen that we are heading out."

Nodding, Rukia quickly walked up to the room that they shared and tossed on some punk clothing. She didn't like dressing all frilly all the time. After she had combed and tied up her hair in a ponytail, she grabbed her boots and hastily put it on.

Ichigo fished out a jacket that laid on the back of the dining chair and slipped his arms into the sleeves. He had read that morning that it was going to be chilly. Noises of thumping feet drew his attention to the stairs.

"Why are you dressing like that all of the sudden? Skirt or dress is usually your choice."

"Felt different today, problem?"

"None at all."

"Oh go get the front row seats. I heard that watching this in 3-D was totally worth it." Ichigo commented as Rukia shoved her way through people. She laughed remarking that it was her who chose the movie in the first place.

"Yeah, yeah. Here's your glasses."

Rukia was confused, how do things pop up in front of you if it was a flat screen and a projector?

"Huh, Ishida just texted me that Orihime and him are going to watch a romance movie. Sad for him.."

"Why?"

"Well, guys don't like watching romance movies. It is in our blood."

"Humans.. I don't get your race. By the way, how do 3D movies appear 3D?"

"It's a trick on the eyes.. Let me check on the web."

He quickly pressed some buttons on his iPhone and scrolled through Wikipedia. He then poked Rukia to look at the screen.

"[…] because of polarized light." Ichigo concluded from reading a whole entire web post about 3D movies. Rukia sat there, face blank.

"I get it now! So, what I understand, three dimensional movies use polarized light, and special glasses, to create two films, one for each eye. One lens of the glasses allows only vertically polarized light, the other only horizontally polarized light. One frame of a film is shown in vertically polarized light, which gets through to one eye, and the other in horizontally polarized light, which gets through to the other. So it creates the illusion of a 3D image!*"

"I am truly amazed that you came up with that conclusion," a shocked Ichigo muttered. The lights then started to dimmer, and Rukia quickly put on her glasses. This was science at work, and she was utterly eager to experience it.

Two Hours Later

"I immensely loved the chemistry between Quorra and Sam Flynn, Ichigo! Do they live happy after they saw the sunset?"

"I don't know, but I'd like to think that way." Ichigo smiled, then offered his arm to Rukia. She took it, hugging his arm because of the windy night.

He blushed slightly and muttered that it was only because she was cold, and nothing more. But he did feel happy.
