The Nerds enjoy the fruit of their work

THE NERDS AWAKEN

AMC Theater, Los Angeles

"Hurry up, you guys!" Abby's voice called out from the sidewalk in front of the theater.

"Chill out, Abby. We still have plenty of time." Tim replied.

"We are just waiting on Hetty." Nell said.

"She just texted. She is on her way." Eric replied.

"I can't believe we are finally here. I have been dreaming of this day for years" Sebastian said.

"Great costumes!" Some random person called out to them.

"Thanks!" Tim replied. He was dressed in a full set of Boba Fet armor. Abby was dressed like Queen Amadala from Episode I. Sebastian, being a member of the 501st, was dressed in his Stormtropper Armor. Eric was dressed as a Jedi complete with realistic lightsaber, and to Eric's, and just about every other man there's, delight was Nell dressed in a Slave Leia costume. She wore a collar with a chain that ran to Eric's belt, making it abundantly clear that she was off limits. Even then she had a few looks but Nell wanted it. She wanted them to be jealous of Eric. She loved making guys jealous of him.

"Aren't you cold, Nell?" Sebastian asked her.

"Are you kidding me? I'm from Minnesota. This is shorts weather for me." Nell said with a smile. Eric had his arm around her and she was playing with his hand.

"The one advantage for you is that you can pull a costume like that off here." A voice called out. They all turned to see Hetty dressed in robes with a wooden cane and a pair of Yoda Ear Muffs.

"Hetty! Your costume is amazing!" Abby said.

"Thank you, Miss Scuto. And I must return the complement. Your makeup is impeccable." Hetty said.

She turned to McGee. "Your armor is very nice, Agent McGee." Hetty said.

"Took a lot of work to put together." McGee replied.

She turned to Sebastian. "Pity Agent Percy couldn't join in, Mr Lund." Hetty said.

"I promised we'd see it in New Orleans once the crowds died down." Sebastian said.

"Well. Let's not waste any more time." Hetty said as they walked into the Theater. After getting their snacks and everything they entered the packed theater. By some miracle of the Force they found 6 seats together. After the usual ads and trailers the theater darkened and the familiar words came on the screen.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away….

Short little sequel to Break the Internet. Personally I'm waiting a few weeks to see it.

Nell in the Slave Leia costume is a nod to the story Princess Nell (And its related story The SuperVillain Affair) by JMK758. I highly recommend both those stories

The 501st Legion is a legitimate organization of Star Wars fans that dress up as Stormtroppers (and other Imperial Characters) that are very heavily involved in charity work. They are so big that they are part of Star Wars Cannon now (Thanks to Star Wars Battlefront II). Check them out when you have the time.
