"Cici, are you sure you're cool being sober sister? I can't drink anyway and I'm pretty sure Randy would be alright getting an excuse to skip," Belle asked her roommate as she slid in to a pair of baggy jeans and an oversized pink sweatshirt.

"I'm sure Belle, you deserve to have fun, especially after all that shit at the movie theater last night," Cici assured her. The two women walked down the steps of their house. Cici gave Belle a hug as she walked out the door, "Have fun!" the blonde called as Belle turned around and walked down the stairs.

As Belle walked down the street, she heard two voices yelling behind her.

"Belle! Jesus, does she always walk this fast?" one asked.

"Yeah," The other replied and Belle recognized the voices as Mickey and Randy. She stopped and turned around as the boys jogged to catch up to her.

"God, you have got to learn how to slow down," Mickey panted.

"Out of breath that easy?" Randy laughed.

"Do I look athletic to you?" Mickey asked.

"Do I?" Randy responded. He took Belle's hand in his own and the trio walked to the Delta's house in mostly silence.

They made it to the house and walked through the front door. Once they made it through the front door, Mickey split off and the other two walked to the back yard and out the door.

They soon found Sidney and Hallie. They waved at them but split off on their own. As they once again passed Mickey, he grabbed Randy by the arm.

"Empire Strikes Back, better story," He said. Belle assumed he was referencing their earlier discussion from class.

"Not a sequel, part of a trilogy, planned," Randy replied, pulling away from Mickey and continuing to walk with Belle.

"Friday the 13th," Belle mumbled, "Sequels a million times better than the original,"

"Okay first, never side with Mickey. Second, you only like the sequel better because you prefer Jason to Pamela," Randy replied.

"Completely not true," Belle defended.

"I always assumed you'd like the original better, don't you have a crush on Harry Crosby?"

"I have a crush on Bing Crosby, his dad," Belle corrected.

"Why his dad?" Randy asked, laughing slightly.

"Watch White Christmas, dude can sing. Mind if I had to choose any of those cast members, Danny Kaye all the way,"

"Aren't both us these men 1, old enough to be your grandpa and b, dead?" Randy asked.
