Aria's POV
Struggling to shove a box of candy into my sweatshirt pocket for the movies, I used my foot to open the door to the Alvarez apartment, where I was met with the image of Penelope handing Alex $10 for the movie
"$10? Is that enough?" I asked Alex, shutting the door, once again, with my foot
"Oh, maybe I wasn't clear. I'm actually going to a movie in this century. It's in color and everything. A ticket costs $9.50." Alex told his mother, building off of my last comment
"And I expect change." Penelope smirked
"It's cool, I brought supplies." I smiled, emptying my pockets, which I had just mated to fill, in order to reveal a bunch of candy
They all stared at me, looking at the obnoxious pile, "What? I like candy."
"No, I feel your pain. I never had enough money to go to the movies with friends." Elena spoke from the other side of the room, moving the conversation back to her brother
"Or enough friends to go to the movies with friends." Alex teased
"Oh, I know, why don't you go pluck your one mustache hair, and you can get the kid price?" Elena shot back, making me and Penelope laugh
"Why don't you pluck your 20 mustache hairs?" Alex asked
"Wow, so much burning so early in the morning. I love it." I grinned, opening a small pack of sour patch kids
Penelope quickly snapped the pack of candy out of my hands, refusing to let me eat sugary goodness for breakfast
"Jokes on you, because each one of these hairs is a blow to the patriarchy." Elena said
"Oh, you win." Alex surrendered, sarcastically, as Elena stormed off, "Come on, Mom. All my friends get way more cash from their parents."
"I can give you extra cash." I offered, taking some out of my phone case
"No!" Penelope yelled, watching me slowly stick the money back into my pocket.
"What have I told you about comparing yourself to other people?" Penelope asked
"To always do it and make sure I'm better." Alex shrugged
"No, that's your abuelita. Look, my, Uh, clinical hours got all squirrelly. So I'm gonna take you and Aria to the movies and show you how to have fun on a budget." Penelope said
"What? No." Alex groaned, shaking his vigorously
"It'll be great. It'll be like a date with your mom." Penelope insisted
"Should I leave?" I asked, weirded out
"No! No, no, no." Alex squealed as Penelope hugged him
