Thanks for all the comments! I love reading them :p. Also, this is just a short bonus to the previous chapter. Not too much, but enjoy!

It'd been a day since the showdown match. The replay was finally out, and everybody had gathered at the movie theater to watch it.

The only theater in Brawl Town, it was a regular auditorium with a stage and a pull down screen where things would be projected. It served as both a movie and performance theater.

Penny was walking inside, dreading what she would see on the screen. But heck, the whole town was going.

Piper and Shelly were both with her, and she was at the counter getting 3 tickets. Rico was there in a theater outfit, behind the stand. It was like he worked everywhere in town.

Penny looked at him. "3 tickets please."

Rico nodded, and handed her 3 pieces of red paper with the word "ticket" badly scribbled in crayon.

Penny frowned. "Thanks."

She headed over back to Piper and Shelly.

"I got the tickets."

"Nice." Shelly grinned. "Can't wait to see my butt getting kicked by you."

Penny cringed. Mostly things that happened in Showdown weren't mentioned out of matches, but that was a particularly dramatic match.

"You sure you forgive me for going all psycho?"

"It's fine."

Penny nodded, relieved.

Piper, who had been examining her "ticket" spoke up.

"I'm not exactly sure what happened out there, I was  rudely eliminated by that filthy thing."

She pointed her parasol at Frank.

"Oh boy. You'll see when it starts. Now can we get inside? It's freezing." Shelly said.

Penny shivered. "Yeah."

They walked into the doors, and Penny looked around more. She never got to be here often. The red carpet on the floor was clean, and it was a massive lobby. At the sides, snack stands and a one ticket booth stood.

"You guys want anything?" Penny mumbled.

Piper shook her head and grimaced. "Any of the stuff they're selling here is nightmarish-ly greasy. No thank you."

Shelly shrugged.

"Alright, I'll go get us some seats. Come in a few minutes, okay?"

Penny headed towards the entrance to the auditorium. It wasn't big as the lobby, considering Brawl Town only had 24 residents, but it was quite posh. The seats were fold-ins, and another red carpet stretched over the ground. The stage was half the size of the auditorium, and the theater screen was pulled down.
The words "Replay starting in a few moments." Were projected onto it.

I don't want to be here.
Penny would much rather be at home. Or anywhere else.

Looking at her ticket, on the back it read "B6"

She headed towards row B, praying Frank wouldn't sit near her.

Someone was already sitting next to her seat. In the dimmed lights, she couldn't tell who it was.

At least she'd have a good view of the screen, as well as her friends.

As she sat down, another person popped out not far away.
