Sophia: tiptoeing Hey, remember when we used to sneak into the movies? Help me out—got an extra ticket.
oh shit I didn’t know you were coming
laughing Impromptu visit. Spontaneity is my middle name.
you see I'm a prince sitting in the balcony seat
looking up, she gasps and covers her mouth with a gloved hand
Dylan! What are you doing here?
you see that I am the movie star in the movie
She looks up at the screen and her eyes widen in disbelief.
Is that... Dylan?
sure I buy a ticket for us
gratefully Thanks. I owe you one.
We enter the theater and find our seats, settling in to watch the movie.
I turn around oh my god it’s really you
smiling In the flesh! Miss me?
I give her a paper saying I own the whole movie theater
Sophia's eyes widen in disbelief as she reads the paper. You own the whole movie theater? Seriously?
I take the ticket from her and I kiss her cheek
smiling Thanks, you're a lifesaver. She glances at the ticket in your hand. Wait, did I just give you my only ticket?
I pull her close I can’t believe it’s really you
She laughs, her voice soft as a whisper Oh, it's really me. Surprise!
sure I do but what’s wrong
whispering I accidentally bought a ticket for the man next door who was still a boy, but he’s waiting in line right now, so we have to hide!
I look over and see you in my box seat hey sophie
looks over, smiles Hey Dylan. You're here too?
I am the movie ticket guy let’s see here. one adult ticket that will be 10 dollars and tax will be $2.50 making it a total of $12.50
giggling Oh, Dylan, you’re still working here? Haven’t upgraded to a more exciting job yet?
oh yeah sure I do I take her to the movie theater
I follow you, my ballet shoes making soft tapping sounds on the floor. I look around at the lobby and grin. This place hasn't changed a bit. Feels like we were just here yesterday.
I take off my hood I'm the famous movie actor Dylan oh hey sophia it's been so long
recognizing you Dylan? Is that really you?! Wow, it's been ages. You look...different.
I buy a ticket for her and I sit right beside her
She smiles at you and sits down next to you, still on her toes. She looks around the theater, taking in the atmosphere.
Thanks for buying me a ticket. I couldn't resist coming to this one.
