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.

	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)

	rogue_star 2010-02-26 02:14 am UTC (link)
	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)

	rogue_star 2010-02-26 02:39 am UTC (link)
	"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)

	"I'd feel the same, I think." Molly grabbed two slices, and put one a plate for Sarah, and one for her. "It's good that you're able to adjust to it here, though." She handed her the plate. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-26 02:45 am UTC (link)
	Sarah smiles, leaning over to gently nudge Molly with a shoulder, since her good arm is occupied. It'll do in place of a hug for now. Self-reliant as she is, having some help with stuff like serving food while her other arm heals is a big help. "I'm sure you would. You seem to have settled in pretty well here at the school, too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-02-26 02:55 am UTC (link)
	Molly will nudge her right back, as she took a bite of pizza. "I have. Of course, I have a bunch of really great people here to thank for that. Everyone really helped me get into things really quickly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-26 02:57 am UTC (link)
	She finished the first slice of pizza quickly, balancing the plate on her lap to get a second slice, and trying to maneuver things about to get some diet coke to go with it. "What're you planning to do when you graduate?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Molly took a couple of bites of her pizza, before pouring two glasses of Diet Coke for her and Sarah. "I haven't given it a lot of thought, I guess. I'd be perfectly happy to do the whole hero thing for the rest of my life, but even superheroes need a day-job, right?" She took another bite of pizza. "I may not have a career in mind, but I know someday, I want to be a Mom. But as for post-grad stuff before than, not a clue. Though I think I can see myself as a teacher...maybe."

	"You have a boy in mind yet?" she asks, slightly teasing tone in her voice at the mention of wanting kids. "And I don't know about it not being a day job. Worthington and Xavier and such have a stipend for the X-Men. The Avengers is a paying job. If that didn't work out though, you'd make a good teacher, I think." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Molly nodded. "I don't know, it used to be Wolverine, but ever since he shot me down when I was eleven, I've been stuck on square one." She laughed. "Thanks. I think I'd like it. Teaching. What about you? Any possible future plans?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Total daddy's girl, I think in one fashion or another, I'm pretty much an Avenger for life. Between the legacy thing, and the fact that when Mjolnir accepts you, its not something you put down, I'm pretty sure heroing is what I was meant to do. So professional life is easy. Personal life... kind of utter chaos, which I'm sorry you had to see any of." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-02-26 04:00 am UTC (link)
	Molly nodded. "It's okay," she said, giving her a one-armed hug, shifting the plate holding her pizza over to another arm. "We all have our ups and downs, I guess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-26 04:02 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, having a huge crush on a straight girl with a boyfriend when I'm still hiding in the shoes at the bottom of the closet isn't exactly a high point." she replies with a small sigh. "Doesn't help with future plans any either." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-02-26 04:08 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe... you need to get out in the dating field more? I can't give the best advice there. But yeah, from the little that I do know, unrequited love sucks." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rogue_star 2010-02-26 04:13 am UTC (link)
	"Well, I don't exactly know many people, and I'm not that... uhm, out yet. I've never really had any experience, and its kind of... well, I don't know, I keep feeling like I'm falling somewhere short of that whole All-American girl thing. I'm kind of a wallflower... and how do you even know... you know?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	princessbruiser 2010-02-26 04:22 am UTC (link)
	"I have no idea. I guess you just...know. Not that's very helpful." She sighed. "Karolina was nervous about 'coming out' at first, too. But eventually, she felt comfortable enough to tell us. I think it's just a matter of being comfortable enough in your own skin to confide in others." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
