Catching up with pop culture
There's pizza on the coffee table, two two-liter bottles of Diet Coke, a big bowl of popcorn, and a gallon of Americone Dream in the freezer with Molly and Sarah's names on it. Molly "reserved" the lounge for the evening, and after going through all of the movies in the Mansion, assembled a pretty decent pile of movies that she thought Sarah would enjoy. A couple of Disney, some chick flicks, an action movie or two, and since Molly was feeling brave, she might as well throw in the original Nightmare On Elm Street while she was at it.

She finished setting up comfy pillows along the sofa, and grabbed the quilt from off her bed. She was dressed in her comfiest pajamas and ready for a night of vegging in front of the t.v. and indulging in junk food. She'd left a note earlier on Sarah's door to meet her downstairs in the lounge, in her pajamas and ready for a full night of movie-watching.

Molly grinned, looking at her set-up. For her first "girl's night in", she'd done a pretty good job. Now, all she needed was Sarah and she'd be all set.

Those instructions raise an immediate problem. Sarah has no pajamas. She owns next to nothing, and she keeps feeling the odd impulse that she needs to keep what she does have close, like if she doesn't, it might disappear. Finally, she settles for a t-shirt and sweatpants, close enough, though she has to borrow the sweats.
The lounge definitely gets her attention.

"You really went all out."

	She probably could have loaned Sarah a set of pjs....even though she doesn't really have a lot of extra clothes herself to begin with, but Molly wasn't really thinking about that when she left the note on her door, just a fun night. "Glad you like it," Molly smiled, "We've got a long night of movie watching ahead of us, so get comfy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sarah floats over to the couch and settles in next to Molly, eyeing the various movies, though without any signs of recognition. "I'm looking forward to it. Smells great in here too. Is that, by chance, Hawaiian pizza I smell?" If so, Molly just earned 10 awesome points. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Molly nodded, grinning. "Yup. There's Americone Dream in the freezer with our names on it too, for later." She laughed. "I told anyone that if they even THINK of touching it, I'll send them through a wall." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Molly gets pounce hugged, or the one armed version of the maneuver. She's not sure why, she's not normally so demonstrative, but it feels right. "You're amazing, you know that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-02-26 02:12 am UTC (link)
	Molly laughed, returning the hug. "Thanks. I'm just trying to help really. I mean...you've NEVER seen The Princess Bride? That's inconceivable!" She laughed. "You'll get it after we watch it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shakes her head, blushing a little. "You are, I'm still trying to get used to things. But no... I recognize... two of those movies, I've heard of that one... that's it, really. Johnny Storm and some of the others used to reference a lot of movies, but we didn't have them on Battleworld. I love movies though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-02-26 02:21 am UTC (link)
	Molly nodded."I'm happy to help you get used to everything, really. Yeah...we didn't have a lot of movies on the Runaways, but Nico and others made sure that I had least saw some of the 'classics'. And I've seen more since coming here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-26 02:22 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, this seems like quite the collection. And movies, pizza, popcorn, coke... always wins. It sounds like you had some good friends there though. You miss them?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-02-26 02:28 am UTC (link)
	Molly nodded. "They were my family and all I had for years-Nico, Gert, Chase, Karolina, Xavin, and Vic. They call sometimes, but I really miss them." She gave her a small smile. "What about you? Do you miss the people on your world?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-26 02:33 am UTC (link)
	"Oh yeah, of course. All the heroes and villains who used to be on Earth had a great community. And then running around with Kendall, Balder, Matthew and Clint Jr. when we were fighting the Sentinels. Its really hard seeing all these people I sort of know, but different versions of them, and none of my friends." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-02-26 02:38 am UTC (link)
	Molly nodded, listening. "I'd imagine that'd be hard to do, if I was suddenly taken out of my world and placed somewhere I don't know." She opened up one of the pizza boxes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It is, especially not knowing what happened to them, and I feel guilty I'm not there to help them. It wasn't exactly a nice world. But I'm trying to stay positive, and I'll get back eventually. In the meanwhile, this is a lot nicer world, and I'm enjoying the company." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	No. She is not going to scream. It's just a movie. It's just a movie. Though Jason sneaking up on those girls got to inch just a little bit closer to Sarah. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-03-02 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	"Eeep!" Molly grabbed a hold of Sarah's good arm, as Jason revealed himself to the girls, running after them in hot pursuit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sarah instinctively wraps her arm around Molly when she jumps, somewhat protective, this time making herself available to be nestled against while the slasher scene runs its course, not at all minding Molly clinging to her. As it is, if she jumped again, Sarah would almost be sharing her lap. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can't watch this, I can't watch this," Molly buried her head in Sarah's arm. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-03-04 03:09 am UTC (link)
	She nestles closer, tilting her head to rest it on Molly's, arm going around the other girl's shoulders for comfort and reassurance. The movie? Really, kind of boring. She's lived through worse. She's a lot more intent on Molly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-03-04 03:34 am UTC (link)
	She peaked out from underneath Sarah's elbow, only to bury her face back under her arm. Yeah...when did she think that watching a horror movie was going to be a good idea? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-03-04 03:36 am UTC (link)
	She shifts a little, to help hide Molly's eyes more, talking soothingly when she does. "You want to watch something else?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-03-04 03:45 am UTC (link)
	Molly nodded into her arm. "Could we? I'm...not into horror so much. I thought you might like it, so I picked it." She managed a weak laugh. "I thought I could be brace and suck it up, but....guess it didn't happen. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-03-04 04:29 am UTC (link)
	"Me too," Molly said, "Even if I did jump out of my skin." She snuggled up against Sarah. "Okay...want to pop in Beauty and the Beast? It's one of those 'classic' Disney movies that you HAVE to see." Though she almost doesn't want to move." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
