Chapter 2: Justice League
The next day, I went out with Sarah, James, and Henri to the Cafe on Main Street for breakfast. We all decided to order omelets for breakfast. I ordered a Western omelet, Sarah ordered a Greek omelet, James ordered an Italian omelet, and Henri ordered a German omelet. "I am so excited about seeing Justice League today," James told us. "Do you think it will be like that movie Angel and I saw on TV entitled Batman Begins the night of your school dance?" Sarah asked. "I had my Boy Scouts meeting that night, so I wouldn't know," Henri replied. "Justice League has more than just Batman, Sarah," James explained. "The movie also features Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg." "It is also based on the DC Comics superhero team of the same name," I added. "Oh right," Sarah remembered. "I remember over the summer when Alex and her guy friends introduced us to Wonder Woman." "I would also like to discuss which foods you guys are responsible for during brunch at the Grand Concourse next weekend," I informed my friends. "Sarah, you are in charge of fall and winter produce, James, you are in charge of semihard, blue, and semisoft cheeses, and Henri, you are in charge of egg noodles, filled pasta, and shape pasta." "Okay, Angel," James agreed. "Emily, Erin, and I will be in charge of nuts and beans," I added. After lunch in the Waterfront with my other friends, Emily and Erin Mistle, Sarah, James, Henri, and I met more of my friends Alex Russo, Justin Evans, and Max Greenwald at the Loew's Waterfront Theater to purchase our tickets and snacks. "Sorry I am late," Alex told us. "I was having problems accessing my bank account." Alex, Justin, Max, and I went inside the theater, while Sarah, James, and Henri went to purchase snacks, since they were not going to dinner with us after the movie. "Alex, Sarah thinks that Justice League was like the movie we saw on TV as kids entitled Batman Begins," I explained to Alex. "Okay, why would she think that?" Alex asked. "In addition to Batman, there is Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Aquaman, and Cyborg," Justin added. "This movie is also based on the DC Comics superhero team of the same name," Max chimed in. Sarah, James, and Henri arrived with their snacks. Sarah ordered a soft pretzel with mustard, James ordered a jumbo popcorn to share with us, and Henri ordered a carton of nachos."Alex, are you sure there is more to this movie than Batman Begins?" Sarah asked. "Yes, Sarah," Alex replied. "Remember how we all saw Wonder Woman in theaters this past summer?" "I remember," Sarah replied. "My stepbrothers told me everything, and we will be sharing popcorn instead of pizza tonight, as well." After the previews were over, the movie started. We were amazed by all the action and suspense in the movie. Alex and I got tired, so we snuggled under Sarah's blanket for part of the movie. During the end credits, the Beatles song "Come Together" played. After the movie, Alex, Justin, Max, and I went to Longhorn Steakhouse in the Waterfront for dinner. I ordered Walnut and Rosemary Oven-Fried Chicken, Alex ordered the Grilled Chicken and Strawberry Salad, Justin ordered the Renegade Sirloin, and Max ordered the Steakhouse Bacon Cheeseburger. "That was a great movie, Alex," I remarked. "I'm so glad you enjoyed it," Alex agreed. "It also reminded me of the Transformers movie I rented my senior year of high school, and I became interested in action-adventure movies ever since." "The Disney movie, Hercules is a good example of this," Justin pointed out. "Oh yeah, that is a good Disney movie," Max agreed. We also decided to order dessert. Alex and I split a piece of key lime pie, while Justin and Max split the Chocolate Stampede. "I also wanted to discuss which foods you guys are responsible for during brunch at the Grand Concourse next Sunday," I informed my friends. "Alex, you are in charge of spring and summer produce, Justin, you are in charge of hard, soft-ripened, and fresh cheeses, and Max, you are in charge of tube pasta, long pasta, and tiny pasta." "Okay, Angel," Justin agreed. After we finished our dinner, Alex drove me back to my mom's apartment in Highland Park. "Thanks for a great day, everyone!" I thanked my friends. "You're welcome, Angel," Alex replied. "Bye, guys!" "Bye!"
