Alex drove for a while. The closest theater being miles away from Midvale. But Alex liked driving anyways, it gave her a chance to relax and think.

When they got there though Maggie practically skipped inside. Alex following suit and smiling at Maggie's joy. She bought Maggie a popcorn and some candy and they shared, while watching the movie Maggie excitedly picked out.

They ended up seeing an action romance movie, about a princess who's arranged to be married, by her dying parents, to a man she doesn't love. So the princess runs away and hides her identity. Along her journey she sees how her people live, and notes to herself that if she ever goes back, she'll be sure to change things. She goes deep into the forest of thieves. Where she encounters one of them; a smaller woman, who attempts to steal her jewels, but just ends up getting thrown on the ground and then straddled by the princess. The princess and the thief become friends and the thief helps the princess get her throne back and in the process they fall in love and end up having the hottest sex ever!
By the end of the movie the princess's fiancé abducts the thief and uses her as leverage for the princess to come back. The princess ends up killing him to save her lover, who the princess then makes her queen. Proposing to her out of fear that she'll lose her again. The two marry and they live happily ever after.

Alex laughs as she looks over at a crying Maggie. "I didn't take you as a romantic sap Maggie!"

Maggie looked over at Alex as she cried out "Shut up!" And then turned back toward the screen, continuing to ball her eyes out.

Alex leaned back in the chair, resting her arms behind her head, as she looked at Maggie. She shook her head side to side. "Poooor Maggie." Alex teased a little, expecting to get a rise out of her, but all she got was, the girl clinging to the material of her hoodie, by her shoulders, as she wheeped into her chest.

Alex brought her arms down from behind her head and placed them around Maggie's back.

"Maggie? What's wrong?"

"I dont know!" Maggie cried.

"Okay you know what? Just let it out. You're okay here with me."

Maggie snifled a little as she sat up. Looking at Alex. "Thank you... So much." Maggie smiled.

"For what?" Alex asked.

"For being a great friend to me. It's just..." Maggie looked down for a moment. "Alex you're all I have here. You're the only one that can make me feel less alone." Maggie looked back up at Alex. "I know it's strange, we haven't even known each other that long."

"Two days. But they've felt longer. And Im so glad Maggie. I- I just feel a strong connection with you, y'know? And I wanna be a good friend to you, I wanna be great. You make me feel like Im not alone anymore."

"I feel the same way. But what about Vasquez and Lucy?"

"Oh. I just... I never really got to hang out with them over the summer. I had a job and we've been drifting apart since before. Plus Lucys moving back in with her father and Vasquez works a lot, plus school, we don't have any classes together. And I don't hang with the others really. So it's just been m-

*Maggie's stomach growls*

"Oh a... I guess I'm hungry. Heh." Maggie was blushing hard. She felt extremely awkward just then. She'd be sure to add that to her list of embarrassing moments.

Like a mind reader though, Alex busts out laughing. Which breaks the awkward tension.

"Oh my god Maggie! You didn't fill up on popcorn and candy?"

Maggie sinks a little bit in her chair as she tweedles her thumbs. "I guess not."

"You want food?" Alex asked now a little serious.
