"Please Julie? Please, Please, Please, Please..." Luke was currently begging Julie to let him and the boys go to the movies with her and Flynn.

"No!" Julie yelled yet again. "I told you Flynn and I are going by ourselves. We want a break from everything."

"A break from us?" Reggie questioned looking down and fiddling with the sleeves of the flannel tied around his waist. 

"No, no it's not like that," Julie started to regret her choice of words. "It's just..." she struggled to find the right words.

"It's okay. We understand..." Reggie had the same sad tone. Luke and Alex glared slightly at Julie while trying to comfort their friend.

"W-well I'd have to check with Flynn, but I guess it's okay with me if you come," Julie finally gave in.

Reggie immediately perked up, scaring Luke and Alex. "Yay! Thanks, Julie," he clapped his hands excitedly.

All three of his band members looked at Reggie in disbelief, but he ignored them and skipped over to the couch, picking up his bass on the way. Julie pulled out her phone and texted Flynn asking if she cared about the boys tagging along. She of course did not because in her words, "Who wouldn't want three cute boys to accompany you to the movies?"

"Flynn said you guys could come," Julie told the boys and rolling her eyes at Flynn's response. There was a chorus of cheers. Julie laughed before heading back into the house to get ready. 

About an hour later, a car horn honked outside. Julie recognized Flynn's usual announcement of her arrival. She quickly gathered the rest of her things and ran out the door, hopping into the passenger seat of Flynn's car. The boys poofed into the backseat not long after causing Julie to jump and Flynn to look at her confused.

"The boys are in the backseat," she glared at them.

"Oh, Hi!" Flynn waved in the rearview mirror even though she couldn't see them.

The boys all waved back. Julie laughed and plugged the aux cord into her phone and pressing play on her 5SOS playlist. The group danced to the music, as best they could in the limited confines of the car, and sang along until they reached the mall. Julie and Flynn linked arms as they walked into the mall and through the long hallways into the movie theater. Quickly buying their tickets and snacks they made it into the theater not long after the previews started.

Not even halfway through the movie, the boys were already complaining about being bored. Julie tried her best to quiet them and tell them to poof back to the studio without disrupting the other movie watchers in the theatre. The boys refused to listen and instead started grabbing handfuls of popcorn out of the bucket in Flynn's lap and throwing it at each other. Julie quietly yelled at the ghosts as the popcorn flew through them making contact with the back of people's heads. Flynn glanced around trying to see if people were noticing her friend talking to air and popcorn hitting them. She made awkward eye contact with a few of the angry guests and tried to give them a kind smile.

Julie was still trying to get Luke, Alex, and Reggie to stop messing around when suddenly they all froze. The girl looked at them confused before Flynn tapped her shoulder causing her to turn around. She locked eyes with a very tall security guard with broad shoulders who gestured for the two girls to follow him. They both stood up reluctantly as a few cheers and sighs of relief filled the theatre. Julie turned her head and glared at the three boys who stood in the aisle, regret evident on their faces.
