Don't Believe Everything You Read On the Internet

Chapter 32

The only problem with having a movie night is that none of the villains owned Moulin Rouge. Even Batman, who owned about 1,000 movies, didn't own the Baz Luhrman movie. This meant that they would have to go out and buy it. Batman suggested that they could simply buy it online and it would arrive a few days later, but Harley and Joker insisted that it would take too long and they should look around Best Buy or Walmart. So, they (mostly Joker and Harley) decided that Team Batjokes would go to Best Buy and Team Harlivy would go to Walmart. The Walmart was a few miles away from the city, so it took Harley and Ivy a little while to get there. Joker and Batman, on the other hand, went to the Best Buy that was right next to the Home Depot that brought back some pleasant and unpleasant memories.

Harley and Ivy happened to be at a very large Walmart, which meant that the entertainment section was rather large as well. The movie section was at least three rows long, including a stand of $13 movies and a $3.75 bin. Ivy walked down one of the aisles, keeping a close eye out for the movie. Though she couldn't find Moulin Rouge, she found a live version of Hairspray on DVD. The villain looked around and made sure no one was watching her as she smuggled the DVD into one of her pockets. She realized that since she was wearing a leotard, everyone could tell that she was stealing it. She formed fanny pack out of flowers and vines, and placed the DVD in there. When she looked around to find Harley, it took her a while to finally find the female clown. Harley had literally dove into the $3.75 bin to find the movie. Ivy could tell because Harley's legs were dangling in the air, with the rest of her body inside the bin. Ivy shook her head and walked over to her best friend.

"Hey Harls, have you found the movie yet?" Ivy asked.

"No, but I did find Ghostbusters!" Harley responded, kicking the air.

"Maybe Batman had a point, it would be a lot easier to just order the movie online," Ivy said.

"Come on, aren't you having fun?" Harley asked, her legs drooping a little.

"I guess, I just don't think that we're going to find Moulin Rouge here."

Harley stuck her legs into the bin, and seconds later her head popped out. Her hair was messy, and she had a copy of Iron Giant stuck in her shirt. Ivy still thought that Harley was super cute. Ivy felt a little bit guilty about still having feelings for her bestie, but it was something that would take a while to get over. It would be nice if Harley liked her back, though. Harley leaned in closer to Ivy.

"Hey, there's something that I've been keeping from you, Ives," Harley started.

"What is it?" Ivy asked, her cheeks reddening a bit.

"It's kind of embarrassing."

"Please, I'll completely understand anything you have to say."

"I-I..."

"Harley, just tell me!"

"I've owned Moulin Rouge this whole time."

Ivy should've been furious that they had gone all this way for nothing. She should've picked her DVD from her fanny pack and smacked Harley on the head with it. Instead, she was a little disappointed that this was what she had on her mind. Ivy hoped that this would be the time that Harley would finally return her feelings. Oh well, one could only hope.

"Wait, if that's so, then why did you send us on this wild goose chase?" Ivy asked.

"I wanted an excuse to have Batsy and Puddin go on a date. That, and things have been pretty awkward between us. I figured that going to Walmart would change things. There's a lot more stuff at Walmart, so that's why I had us go here. I really needed some more eyeliner, too," Harley explained.
