Through the Screen

37. Ice Cream!

Well I am just a very sucky author, not updating in 2 months.  You go, Bella.

"Alright Mikey, where should we go?" I asked him as we walked out the door and went to the car sitting in the driveway.  "You were the one to suggest this Manni day, so you have to pick what we do."

"I was thinking something with food, I am starving.  I also want to see that new horror movie that came out yesterday.  So we can do food and then movie, or movie and then food," Mikey said to me as he hopped in the driver's seat and I got in the passenger's side.  I thought it over for a second in my head and finally decided on movie first, I mean, we just ate breakfast less than an hour ago and you could get food at the movie's if he actually was that hungry.

"Movies.  Definitely.  And that "horror movie" is called Insidious Chapter 3.  Don't start crying on me in the middle of it either,"  I teased him a little bit.  I had learned that Mikey was never very good with horror movies, especially ones with ghosts.  Of course, he would never admit that himself, but the guys had told me of a few particularly funny encounters.  One had to do with Mikey not being able to go out of his room for a week because of his fear of mirrors.  I was a huge fan of horror movies ever since I was five years old and saw Child's Play.  Yeah, my parents didn't approve but grandparents will do anything.  "Alright, I'll get the snacks, you get the tickets," I said as we pulled up to the theatre and hopped out of the car.

Mikey was half way to the tickets when he turned towards me and screamed, "Make sure you get the sour patch kids watermelon gummy things! They keep me safe in horror movies!"  You could imagine the look on a five year old who was laughing at Mikey because he thinks gummies are going to protect him.  It was awesome.  "Here's your ticket," Mikey said as he met me inside after he bought the tickets and I had gotten the food.

"So here are your sour patch watermelon things, a soda, and then my popcorn and my drink," I said and handed him him stuff as I adjusted all of the stuff in my arms.  Mikey should know now though, he is not getting any of my popcorn.  He had his chance.  He lost it.  "Be prepared to pee your pants Clifford.  But I am moving across the theater if you do."

"I will not pee my pants.  Hopefully," Mikey said and led the way into the theater where the annoying beginning commercials were still playing.  I would always eat all of my food before the movie even started.  Control your popcorn cravings, Danni.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After the movie ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mikey, seriously, we have to leave," I laughed as I walked out of the theater and threw away my empty popcorn bucket.  "It was not that scary.  I was laughing the entire time and there is no way you can be that scared."  Mikey poked his head out from behind the door of the theater and checked the hallway both ways before cautiously walking out.  "Dude, even if there was an evil demon in here, it would not go after you.  You would be way too boring for it.  It doesn't like someone who is instantly scared,"  I tried to reassure him but that made him look even more petrified.  This car ride is going to be a difficult one.  

"No! You never know what could be around you! Like what if there is an evil spirit right behind you right now and you don't even know it?!?" Mikey was getting nowhere with not being scared.  Even after my many explanations of how it was so fake and you could tell.  Like another "ghost" dimension?  Really?  That's all you got?  

I sighed and began my explanation again.  "Ok, even if there was an evil spirit behind me right now, I wouldn't care because it hasn't hurt me yet.  You only have to really worry about them when they start harrasing you and stuff.  Last time I checked, you've never had a problem with an evil demon causing disturbances anywhere around you."  I couldn't help myself and I started laughing.  Like how could you not?  Mikey had given up and just huffed like a child who had been put into time out.  Danni-1 Michael-0.  "I want ice cream."

"We literally just left the movie like five minutes ago and you ate an entire thing of popcorn by yourself.  A large popcorn no less!"  Mikey said and going against his own words, pulled into the parking lot of the ice cream place near Abby's house.  Scratch that, Danni-2 Michael-0.  I ran into the store and immediately ordered my favorie ice cream ever, mint chocolate chip with hot fudge.  It is literally heaven.  

"I love ice cream."

HORRIBLE ENDING BUT PEOPLE WANTED UPDATES SO YAY
