"Okay girls have fun!" my Mom said as she pulled up to the front of the movie theater to let us out.
"Yeah, yeah okay," I said as Ashley and I quickly hopped out of the backseat of my car and ran towards the door. We linked arms as we walked into the theater and got on line for our tickets. It was Friday night so the line was a bit long, filled with people seeing their 8pm show.
"Okay, uhh rose?" I asked. She crinkled her nose, "Come on Spence. Come up with something harder I just studied like the entire library of flower species. But red means passionate love, pink means friendship, white means purity and yellow means zealous," she replied smugly.
"Fine...Peony," I said surprised I pulled some random flower name out of my head.
"Anger, happy marriage and bashfulness," she responded smugly. Hmph, I will stump you.
"Lilac."
"Purple is first love and white is innocence."
"Holly."
"Defense, domestic happiness." I sighed and Ashley laughed.
"Mistletoe," I said and cringed.
"Really? Mistletoe is all you can come up with? Isn't the meaning of that kinda obvious?" she asked.
"Girls, what tickets do you need?" the lady in the window asked impatiently. We had been so wrapped up in stumping each other that we forgot about buying tickets. Ashley told her and we received our tickets from the grumpy woman and moved to the concession stand.
"Can I have a medium Coke and milk duds?" I asked as Ashley made a sound.
"What?" I asked turning to her.
"Milk duds? They like glue your teeth together," she said making a face.
"Yeah but with chocolate caramel goodness," I said paying.
"Whatever," she said sticking her tongue out at me and I returned the gesture. We had been doing that to each other since we were little. It had turned into a private joke of some sort, like a secret handshake only not.
"Small popcorn and a coke," she said. We paid and made our way into the theater.
"Whoa, awesome we get the whole theater to ourselves!" Ashley said as she looked around the desolate room.
"Well that's what we get for seeing this movie like two months after it came out, plus we're early previews haven't even started yet," I said.
"Where do you want to sit?" she asked gesturing to the room. We decided on sitting in the bottom row of the top section of seats. That way we were close to the screen but not in the bottom section of seats where you had to crane your neck to watch the movie.
"What time is the movie supposed to start?" she asked me.
"7:25."
"And what time is it?" she asked eating a mouthful of popcorn.
"6:45," I responded and she sighed. I tore open my box of milk duds and poured a couple in my hands and ate them. I offered her some and and she gave me a 'are you kidding me look?' I shrugged, more for me.
"So you know what we should do while we wait?" she asked me and I looked at her confused.
"Charades!" she exclaimed.
"Ash, you want to play charades in a movie theater?" I asked.
"Why not?" she asked. And she was right, the room was empty, we wouldn't be bothering anyone and we had forty five minutes until the movie.
"I guess so," I shrugged.
