Roxane and Bardroy

Roxane looked around as she was dropped off at the local movie theater. She was looking for her afternoon date.

"I wanted him to meet me here. . .Where could he be?" She muttered to herself.

"Oi! Roxane! Roxane! I'm lookin' for'a Roxane? I'm with Black Butler Dating Services?" Bard yelled as he held up a sign that spelled out "Roxane".

She heard the yelling and looked around.

"I'm Roxane!" She yelled out in Bard's direction.

"Oh! Hey!" He hurried over to her and threw the sign to the side. "Nice to finally meet 'ya!" He grinned.

Roxane smiled at him.

"Nice to finally meet you too." She responded.

Bardroy grabbed the cigarette from his mouth and threw it on the ground. He stepped on it to put it out then held out a flower he had been holding.

"I've been told that girls like recieving flowers so I picked one up for 'ya." He grinned.

Roxane lightly blushed and took it.

"Thanks." She put it up to her nose and lightly smelled it.

"Well I think it's about time we start headin' in then?" He grabbed her hand.

Bardroy pulled her along inside and over to the ticket booth.

"Uh yeah! Can we get two tickets to uh. . . " He paused to look up at the selections of movies. "To that one!"

Bardroy pointed out a romantic comedy that was playing. The worker at the ticket booth nodded and rounded up the prices.

"That'll be eighteen dollars exact." The worker said as he looked at Bard.

Bard dug through his pockets.

"Uh. . ."

He dug around more in his pockets, trying to locate the money.

"I know I had that stupid money around here somewhere. . ."

He was starting to get nervous.

"Here, I got it." Roxane said as she spoke up.

She opened her purse and pulled out her wallet. She handed the worker the eighteen dollars that were needed and he handed her the tickets. Finally Bardroy and Roxane could enter the theatre.

"Well that was embarrassin'. . ." He said with a sigh. "I could've sworn I had the money with me."

"It's okay! No harm done!" Roxane smiled at him. "Let get some popcorn and drinks."

"Oh! no need to get those! I brought my own!" Bard nodded.

He pulled out a large bag of popcorn kernels and grinned. Roxane looked a tad confused and was about to say something when Bardroy pulled out his flamethrower from underneath his shirt. Roxane's eyes widened as Bardroy lit the bag of kernels on fire.

"And we have popcorn!" He chuckled, proud of himself.

It was no less than a moment before the bag of kernels burned completely and become nothing more than a pile of black burned dust. He lightly laughed, embarrassed again.

"Well. . . nevermind." He added, rubbing the back of his head.

Roxane grabbed his hand and tugged him over to the concession stand. They bought some popcorn and drinks.

"Once again. . . Sorry 'bout that." Bardroy said, this time a little sad.

"Oh! It's fine!" Roxane flailed. "Lets go!"

She dragged Bardroy back to where the movie was going to start. They found some seats toward the front and sat down. Shortly after, the movie began and everything seemed to be going better. Roxane laid her head on Bardroy's shoulder, now feeling a little more comfortable around him. Almost half way into the movie she heard a small squeak. She arched an eyebrow and lifted her head.

"Somethin' wrong?" Bard asked quietly as he looked at her.

"I could've sworn I heard something. . . it sounded almost like a. . ." She trailed off then screamed when she saw a large mouse. "A mouse!" She screamed again as he jumped up in the seat. A couple people behind her did the same, acting as if the small rodent had rabies.

"I got it!" Bardroy yelled.

He stood up and grabbed his flamethrower again. He pointed it at the mouse.

"Bard no-" Roxane started to say.

"I got 'ya, 'ya little rat!" Bard yelled as he pulled the trigger.

The mouse ran away and some seats caught on fire.

"Uh oh. . ." Bardroy muttered.

People began to panic as the fire began to spread on the chairs. They scattered to get out of the theater as the sprinklers went off. Bardroy quickly picked up Roxane and ran outside before it was known that he was the one who started the fire. He made it outside and slowly set Roxane down.

"Nothin' ever goes right. . ." He slumped his shoulders.

Roxane blinked and smiled. She leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Are you kidding? That was fun! It was a nice date after all. Even if I didn't get to finish the movie." She said with a small laugh. "But I do have to be home by now. So i'll see you later."

Bardroy couldn't help but to smile when she said that. He nodded when she said she had to leave.

"Alright. Well remember to call Black Butler Dating Services again!" He laughed then pulled out his cigarette pack from his back pocket and put one in his mouth.

Roxane nodded and turned to leave. Bardroy watched her as she left. She walked home with a smile on her face.

(Hope you enjoyed your date!)
