Just an interlude between all the doom and gloom of Gotham...
Mornings, Movies, and Madness
The sun was up and there was no yelling upstairs, Abby considered this a rather good sign. It meant that the day might be quiet and she wouldn't have to walk to work in the rain! Abby got up, happier than usual, and went to grab something to eat. But something stopped her in her tracks; the clock said it was 11:30 am! She felt like she was going to have a heart attack. Of course it was quiet upstairs, the couple was never in their apartment at this time of day and her Wednesday shifts always started at 12 pm.
Abby ran to the bathroom, her mind was on autopilot and she was already brushing her teeth and putting on shoes when the phone rang.
"Shit" She yelped through all the toothpaste. Abby hobbled over to the phone, shoving the uncomfortable work-shoe on her foot and spitting the toothpaste into the kitchen sink.
"Hello?" Abby knew she probably sounded crazed as the person on the other end "ermed" uncomfortably.
"Hey Abby, Dora here, Cosmos Dots comes out in theaters today! You wanna go?' Abby felt her jaw drop." Dora, you're asking if I want to go to the cinema and see an awesome movie and have a girl's day and WE both have work!" Dora started laughing. Abby huffed, her best friend was laughing at her for worrying about work. This was usually the other way around!
"John gave everybody the day off! He called everybody this morning, didn't you get the call?" Dora asked between laughs. Abby scowled, "No, I didn't get the…Call!" Abby's mind went back to sometime in the early morning. She had gotten a call from John! It was all so foggy but then again, Abby was never awake too early on Wednesdays. She vaguely remembered John telling her to stay home today… Oh, oh dear!
"Abby, are you there?" Dora had calmed down now and was asking worriedly. Abby had become lost in thought.
"I'm here, I'm here! I barely remember the phone call though." Abby sighed. Dora was probably smiling like a maniac on the other end, Abby didn't care. If Cosmos Dots was out today there was no way she would miss it!
The phone conversation lasted for a few more minutes until Abby finally got Dora to stop babbling about how the new guy for the reboot of the movie better be as great looking as William Pushwolf. Abby marveled at her best friends obsession with the man, he was pretty old by now but Dora wouldn't care if he was suddenly turned into a hippo, she would love the man even more!
I snuck in some Spaceballs in here, albeit under different names. It is a fictional universe! I figured something nice and happy needed to be put in here, life in Gotham has ups and downs, you take what you can get!
