Corpse Bride

"The new Star Wars is episode 3, If you don't mind buying it on your fancy TV."

"It's not fancy it's a flat screen."

"I know it's just weird seeing a screen that big, especially without the box on the back."

"It isn't as heavy either." He laughed. "Let me get it set up. You want popcorn?"

"Yes. I can make it while you set up the TV."

"It's in the cabinet next to the refrigerator."

"Ok." She answered, walking in that direction. Ben watched her stand on her tiptoes, looking in the cabinet.

"Ooh, I didn't know they made movie theater popcorn in boxes. That was a smart idea."

"Yeah, it came out a few years ago. It still doesn't taste like it, but I think it's close."

Miranda placed the bag in the microwave and hit the popcorn button. Once it went off. She took that out and placed another bag in the microwave before combining all of it into one bowl.

"Okay I'm ready," Miranda said coming into the living room with the bowl in her hand.

"Miranda I don't think this is the right one because it says episode 4 came out in 1977. So we can't be on 3."

"The Star Wars movies are out of order because the original trilogy Episodes 5-6 was released first, followed by the prequels Episodes 1-3 and later the sequels Episodes 7-9 This release sequence tells the story in a non-chronological order.

"That explains nothing."

"He didn't think that his movie was going to be a hit so he kind of just chose the best script he had and made the movie. Then it became so huge that he was like well wait a minute it's out of order and it doesn't go in terms of the storyline. So he changed the names and made the rest. So you have to watch them in order in terms of what is going on."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." She laughed.

"So have you seen any of these because I don't want you to be asking me so many questions during the movie.

"I have but I don't remember them and I'm clearly not a fan or intergalactic nerd as much as you are."

Miranda laughed and rolled her eyes.
"Shut up and hit play. If you do have any questions I can explain it to you. We will just have to pause it." She waved taking a seat on the couch and curling her legs.

Ben took a seat grabbed the throw blanket and threw it across them. He hit play.

He was supposed to be watching the movie but instead, he found himself watching Miranda.

The movie had to be one of the most emotional ones out of the series because her facial expressions and sounds told it all. She either looked exhilarated when battle scenes were taking place, interested when a new plot or key information emerged and sad when the story unfolded and you saw the betrayal and loss of characters. This episode told the story of Anakin Skywalker choosing the dark side and it seemed well worth the money he paid.

Ben stared at her for a long while before sighing. She was human and she belonged here. Miranda didn't get this second chance for no reason. He needed to have sex with her to save her. There were plenty of people who didn't belong on earth and she simply didn't need to be taken away because of conditions and dumb circumstances.

Ben paused the TV causing Miranda to turn and look at him.

"I'll do it."

"Do what?" She asked sitting up.
