To the small building on the corners of 1st and 2nd street a change was rare but welcomed. So, as the rain pelted down upon all of its sides and the thunder collapsed around it and a young man approached the main doors. It was a new sight to see the bright orange sign hanging above its doors. The man stood in front of the door, looking at his accomplishment. He nodded approvingly and picked up the metal ladder walking back in the building, just narrowly escaping a blast of lightning. The sign read 'Happy Movie Mondays'. It was faded and seemed like it probably came from a garage sale.
As cars drove up and people began to enter the building, a certain girl with certain black raven hair and certain granite eyes sighed. "Movie Mondays.. really? I mean it's a Wednesday!" She sighed again holding her jacket above her head. Lindsay appeared at her side. "Oh c'mon, Hannah. I think Carson came up with a cool idea. At least we don't have to work." The blonde flipped her hair in a Cher-like-way. Heather rolled her eyes and stormed in, Lindsay running after her.
Katie and Sadie were the next to arrive, in carpool style. When they came across the sign, they squealed. "OMG, Sadie! Movie Mondays.. do you think that they'll let the warehouse workers join?" Katie asked, blinking and tilting her head to the side. "Oh they better.. geesh! I'm soo-" One of the 'twins' said, before the other cut her off, "Excited, I know!! I wonder what movie we'll see?" They skipped inside after closing their matching pink umbrellas.
Behind their pink ones was a black umbrella looking like a black hole before it was closed quite suddenly in front of the entrance. The pale woman looked at the sign and rolled her eyes with a smile, letting the rain fall onto her face. Her grey eyes twinkling, she didn't notice as a pair of green ones appeared next to hers. "Happy Movie Mondays." He read aloud, Gwen turned to him and her smile widened. "Hey Trent, pretty lame idea right?" She asked him. He replied, "I guess, I hope they include the warehouse workers, too." He shrugged. And then without a word from him or her, he took his coat off and lifted up above their heads. Gwen blushed, "Oh thanks. That's sweet." They walked in together.
"C'mon Bridge, we're getting soaked." Geoff laughed. Bridgette climbed out of the back of his truck and ran after him. She giggled and stopped out side the door. "What?" Geoff said walking to her slowly. Bridgette grinned and opened her mouth, but a crash of thunder closed it for her. Geoff quickly picked her up bride-over-the-threshhold-style and ran into their shelter. Bridgette was smiling all the way and when they entered, she hung on to him for a little while too long before saying, "Thanks Drunkie."
Eva stomped through the rain and didn't bother to look around, she slammed into Justin who was staring at the infamous sign. Eva stopped to glance dreamily at the body she bumped into. "Oh..." She said, but then regaining her composure, "Get outta my way pretty boy. It's wet out hear, incase you haven't noticed." She brushed past him causing him to drop his red umbrella. Justin rolled his eyes and turned around to pick it up and then continued inside. "This has gotta be fun."
An hour or so later Justin had just about changed his mind. I mean, how much can one take of Curious George? Anyone.. nope. I didn't think so. Owen could take hours and he was happy to watch it but just about everyone was ready to fall asleep. Bridgette and Geoff actually had. She was cuddled up to his chest and his arm was wrapped around her waist. The others weren't so lucky and had to endure Chis laughing at the same jokes and having to rewind them again and again. "Hey, it's cheap entertainment." He had said when everyone asked 'Why? Why Curious George?' Even Chef Hatchet, they have to call him 'Chef' even though he works in the basement, moaned and sat there pouting.
Gwen was upset to find out that the basement workers couldn't be part of it. She bounced her knee impatiently for Heather to return from the warehouse. She had asked about a half-hour ago to check the latest shipment. It should've taken about 2 minutes but it didn't. Gwen wanted to sneak down and say 'hi' to Trent, but she couldn't when Heather was lingering down there. She sighed, "Fine, I'll slip down quietly." As she moved towards to door, a hand grabbed hers. It was thin, boney and clammy. She looked over her shoulder and saw it was Harold.
'What are you doing?' She mouthed. He pointed to the door, and she continued to slip through and he followed. They stood up and Gwen lifted an eyebrow to him. "Well, I know you're going to see Trent." he said as if that explained everything. "Yeah, so?" She asked, getting annoyed. "I want to come, I don't like Curious George and-" Gwen cut him off, "Really? I thought it would be a feature film for you." She said sarcastically. Harold exclaimed, "Gosh!.. as I was saying... and I'm good company..." Gwen sighed and nodded and continued down the staircase.
"Plus.. we can be like the Blues Brothers.. with black sunglasses and suits as we sneak down... 'It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, it's dar-" He was cut off again as Gwen 'shhed' him. He scowled as he adjusted his glasses. "What? I thought it was a cool idea." Gwen walked down, though the warehouse doors and scanned it for Trent. She lighted up when she was him, but frowned when she saw who he was with. He was helping Heather maneuver a large machine to help stack shelves of paper.
Harold's eyes widened as he looked at Gwen. Her face looked grim, "C'mon. I'm still going down." They climbed down some metal stairs to get to the basement floor. Eva was there to meet them. "What are you doing here? Go back upstairs to your comfy office." She commanded, Gwen pushed past her. Harold looked like a lost puppy just following her around. "Lay off Eva." He boldly said. Eva scowled. "I know when to lay off, don't tell me what to do!!" Harold stood there and Gwen continued over to Trent. "Oh.. oh... oh.. "Harold stuttered thinking for the right comeback. "OMG, Harold! What's up?!' Katie cried, tossing a pile of paper that she had been struggling with down. Sadie looked over to, "OMG times 2!!" They walked over as Harold's face grew green. "Um.. Gwen?"
Gwen had found Trent and didn't think twice of Harold. "Hey, guys.. what's up?" She said in a cheeky way. Trent looked over and grinned. "Hey, what's up with you? How's the movie? Heather said it was Curious George..." Gwen sighed, "It's.. bad. But Heather hasn't been able to see any of it.. Why don't you go up.. Huh Heather?" Gwen asked. Heather gave her a look. If looks could kill, Gwen thought. Heather sighed, "Gwen, I have permission to be down here. Do you?" She said in a salty-sweet tone. Heather took a few steps closer to her.
"Actually, I do. I'm suppose to tell you to go back up stairs." Gwen matched her. They had a long staring competition and this made it awkward for Trent but then, "Okay, well bye then." Heather said, kindly. She walked over to give Trent a long hug and then smirked at Gwen as she left. Gwen rolled her eyes and waved good bye. When she was gone Gwen approached Trent, "What was she doing here? What were you doing? Why didn't you kick her out? Don't you know what she is? My god, I hate her." Gwen grumbled.
Trent looked around, "Um.. calm down. I was just talking." He walked over and put his hands on her shoulders and looked her in the eyes. Gwen smiled, "Um.. sorry. I don't like her." "I can see that." Trent laughed, put down his arms and said "Well, I'd rather be back here with you anyways." A flash of lightning and clap of thunder followed his words, and Gwen flinched, moving closer to him. She blushed and sighed, "Sorry." Trent smiled. "You've got to stop saying sorry for things...'
They moved in closer, Gwen could smell his Trent smell.. they leaned in and.. "Harold!" Gwen suddenly looked around.. "Where'd I leave him?" Trent looked dazed. "Harold?" Gwen smiled, "Yeah, Harold.. he came down here with me.." She heard a thump and walked over to a corner of shelves, Trent following. There was Eva, Sadie, Katie and Tyler leaning back on chairs watching Harold struggling with a package of paper.. He looked over and sign.."Can't you help me out here? Gosh!"
A/N: I don't know about this one.. It's was a cute idea in my head. : ) I tried to focus on a few people who haven't gotten attention that much, ie: Trent, Gwen, Justin, Katie, Sadie, Eva..
