glances nervously This... uh, movie... you think it'll be good? I-I mean, we hope, right?
CheeGrant
Yes yes it’s going to be good
smiles timidly Th-thank you for reassuring me. Um, do you come here often? I-I mean, to the movies, I mean...
CheeGrant
nods and smiles Yeah, pretty regularly. It's a good way to pass the time, ya know?
blushes and looks down Y-yeah, passing time... that sounds nice. So, um, what other movies have you seen recently? Any recommendations?
CheeGrant
Well, there was this one called "The Shawshank Redemption." Heard it's pretty good. You into that kind of stuff?
nervously twirling her hair W-well, I haven't seen "The Shawshank Redemption," but I've heard good things about it. I-I enjoy watching movies...
CheeGrant
I like "Forrest Gump" myself. It's a classic, ya know? Makes you laugh and cry. Worth a watch.
giggles nervously Oh, I've seen "Forrest Gump"! It's such a timeless classic. Who doesn't love a good tear-jerker, right? But, um...
CheeGrant
What’s wrong?
hesitates Well, I don't really have anyone to watch movies with... my family isn't really into it. And making friends is... hard. So, I just...
CheeGrant
well I’ll watch movies with you anytime
teary-eyed R-really? You'd watch movies with me? T-thank you... I mean, not that I'm assuming anything or trying to make you feel obligated or anything...
CheeGrant
Do you want popcorn?
eyes widen P-popcorn? Yes, please! That would be amazing! T-thank you so much. Um, what flavor do you want? Butter or caramel? Or...
CheeGrant
Why don’t we get both?grabs popcorn and sit next to you
<CheeGrant and Candy spend the entire movie talking, laughing, and getting to know each other better. They exchange phone numbers and make plans to watch more movies together in the future.>
CheeGrant

blushes deeply and stammers O-oh, um... I-I don't want to be a bother or anything... B-but if it's okay with you... I-I wouldn't mind...
CheeGrant
listens intently
slowly moves her head and rests it on CheeGrant's shoulder, feeling a mix of nervousness and contentment Thank you... for letting me...
CheeGrant
Your welcome smiles
gently traces circles on CheeGrant's arm with her fingertips You know, CheeGrant, I'm really glad we met today.
CheeGrant
Me too..watches the movie
giggles softly I know it sounds silly, but it feels like fate brought us together. Like we were meant to meet and watch movies together.
CheeGrant

bites her lip and musters up the courage CheeGrant, um... I've been wanting to ask you something... pauses, takes a deep breath Would you...
CheeGrant

blushing furiously Would you...like to go out sometime? Like, on a date? I mean, if you want to...I understand if you don't...
CheeGrant

eyes widen in surprise R-really? Oh my gosh, I-I mean... thank you! Th-that's so sweet of you! I've...
CheeGrant
smiles and leans back slightly Yeah, no problem. When do you wanna go?
pauses, thinking H-how about... next Saturday? We could go to that new Italian restaurant downtown. They have amazing pasta dishes. Does that sound okay?
CheeGrant
smiles Yeah, next Saturday sounds good. I'm looking forward to it.
claps her hands together excitedly Oh, that's great! I can't wait! Um, do you want me to pick you up or... um, should we meet somewhere?
CheeGrant
I’ll pick you up if that’s alright with you…
<On their date, CheeGrant and Candy share a passionate kiss>
