The Movie Theater

"Judal, can we go to the movies?" "Hm? The movies? Well, since today is probably the last day we can, sure. What movie would you like to see?" "Tomorrowland! I want to go see Tomorrowland! I heard George Clooney's in it!"

Judal laughed at Aladdin's last remark and nodded. "You're right! He is! Ok then, let's go see Tomorrowland." "Yay! Can we get popcorn?" "Sure!" "Yay!" Judal drove his black, Cadillac Ciel Sedan into the parking lot of the movie theater, then get out of the car to open the door for Aladdin. "I think there's a show time right now. If we're lucky, there might still be seats." "Yeah! Let's go!"

Aladdin grabbed Judal by the wrist of his suit and ran towards the doors, his older brother smiling all the way. Once at the ticket booth, Judal managed to get the two of them seats in the back next to each other. "Can you believe our luck? Back row seats, and their in the middle of the aisle!" "Yay! Best seats in the house!" Judal chuckled at Aladdin's enthusiasm and patted him on the head gently.

The two of them started to walk down to the theater room when suddenly, Judal completely stopped in his tracks. "Judal, what's wrong? The movie's about to start." "I know, but I just wanted to ask you about the whole, 'me not able to spend time with you' situation." Judal sighed and scratched the back of his head as he looked at his little brother. "Yeah? Have you found a solution?" "Well...Sort of..." Judal crouched down so he could look up at Aladdin. "I was thinking that maybe I could hire a baby-sitter. Is that ok with you?"

Aladdin's eyes widened and he felt his world turn upside down. "A-A baby-sitter...?" "Yeah. Are you ok with that or should I keep looking for a solution?" "I...I don't...." Judal sighed and hugged his little brother. "I'll keep looking don't worry. I just want to find someway for you to have fun while. I'm at work." "Well then why do you have to go to work?" "Because I need to pay for things, and my job helps me earn the money to pay off those things." "Well who pays you?" "My boss." "Then tell your boss to pay you more!" Judal let out a half suppressed chuckle before letting go of Aladdin and standing up. "If life was that easy, you and I would be living in a penthouse."

Judal and Aladdin stared at each other for a long moment before Aladdin hugged Judal and buried his face into his older brother's chest. "I don't want a babysitter! I want to play with you!" Aladdin started to cry into Judal's clothes, while the older brother hugged the youth in his arms. "I want to play with you too Aladdin, it's just that I want you to able to live in a nice home at the same time. Now," Judal gently pulled away from Aladdin and smiled. "Let's go watch Tomorrowland!"

Aladdin sniffled and rubbed his yes before he smiled and nodded. "Yeah! Let's go!" Judal watched as Aladdin dragged him to the theater room.

"At least we can do something fun, before we can't do anything at all."

Once seated, Judal and Aladdin watched as trailers appeared on the screen. "I want to watch that one, and that one, and that one, and that one, and that one!" Judal giggled softly and smiled sadly

"He's already forgotten...Well, that's good. Maybe I should bring up the baby-sitter since trailers are playing."

"So...About the baby-sitter-" "Alright." "Wait what?" Aladdin turned to his brother and gave him a sad smile. "I know how hard it must be to do your work so I don't want to cause you anymore stress. As long as the baby-sitter's nice, I should be fine." Judal was about to say something but then stopped and hugged Aladdin. "Thank you..." "No problem Judal."
