I quickly accept Toby's offer, and run outside. "Let's go inside, you can meet my parents." We walk inside and I meet his parents. His dad's name is Cory and his mom's name is Amy. "Let's go to my room." he says. But just as we're getting there, a little blond haired blue eyed girl nearly identical to Toby is panicking. "Toby, Toby, my Ariel dolly fell out of her bed. Can you tuck her in again?" I watch as Toby tucks in the mermaid, complete with a lullaby and everything.
"Sorry for the delay, Penny here had a doll emergency that had to be attended to right away, apparently." Toby explains, Penny nodding in the background. When we've safely made it to his room free of siblings, he goes,"6-year-old girls. Am I right?"
I just smile. "Hey, I have a TV. Wanna watch Back To The Future?"he asks.
"Whats Back To The Future?"
"Okay sit down anywhere",he says. "Your gonna love it. Everyone loves Back To The Future."
Six hours and 3 movies later, I now know everything about Marty Mcfly and why rich people buy DeLoreans. Toby also gives me his cell phone number, on a yellow sticky note. It's going into my diary for safekeeping. I go home and do my nightly routine,same as yesterday, except this time it's Gone With The Wind instead of Grease. Hey, it's a classic, and I'm a movie nut!
It was supposed to be a Dark Day. But something made it not so dark anymore.
