"I-I think, I'm having second thoughts..."
"Maybe, it's not as bad as it looks?"
"It looks like that lady is about to be killed by an evil demon-girl coming out of the picture-box!"
"Well, the girl did tell her she was going to die in seven days..."
Tanis let out a scream and buried her face in Reno's chest as the stringy-haired girl proceeded to literally scare her victim to death. Suddenly, Reno really wished he had paid better attention to exactly what Rude had said about this movie. He also felt a bit like screaming himself, but decided he didn't want Tanis to freak-out and trash the movie theater in a very poltergeist-ly fashion. So, instead, he reached his arms around the smaller girl and hugged her tightly to calm her, and himself.
"Maybe we should leave," he whispered, staring avidly at the disturbingly-terrifying movie on the big screen before him. He felt Tanis shake her head. Her glasses poking into his chest.
"N-no..." her muffled voice said. "W-we already paid for the ti-tickets...we can't ju-just lea...ve..."
"Yes we can." Reno replied. "Just like this-" he started to stand, but Tanis refused to move. "Come on, Tan, if you're this scared, you really shouldn't-"
"N-nope! I-I'm f-fine!"
"..." Reno sighed. "Then why are your nails digging into my chest?"
'Eep!" She jerked back suddenly, and almost dragged Reno down because he still had his arms around her. "S-sorry!" She managed to squeak. Just as something jumped out on the movie screen. She let out another small shriek and buried her face back into his chest. He could feel her glasses digging in again and pushed her head back just enough so that he could pull them off of her face, afraid that he might break them.
"There," he muttered, folding and putting them into his pocket. "Now you may proceed with the death grab you've got me in." Tanis started to protest and he pulled her in tighter so she wouldn't see the next victim being killed. Unfortunately, she still heard it, and whimpered slightly.
(Okay...) Reno thought to himself. (I knew she didn't like scary movies, but woah...) He glanced down at the top of her head. (Hard to believe this is the same girl who took on a Cold-Fire dragon almost single-handedly. It's almost funny that she...) He rubbed her hair and sighed. (Damn. I really need to get her out of here...)
"Hey," he whispered. "Tanis? I think they'll give us our money back if we tell them you almost had a heart-attack."
She didn't respond, so he moved her head slightly to see her face, which was serenely blank on account of her having passed out. (Uh-oh.) Reno cringed and lifted the girl into his arms, ignoring the complaints of other patrons as he shoved past them and out into the light of the theater's main lobby. He then proceeded over to the ticket desk and glared at the teenage boy standing behind it.
"Woah!" he boy whistled. "What happened to HER?" He surveyed Tanis with a worried expression.
"She passed out," Reno growled. "Because that stupid movie practically scared her to death!"
The teenager blanched and stepped back slightly. "Gee...sorry dude!" He said. "I can, like, give back your money, or whatever! I mean, sorry about your girlfriend. If you give me your tickets, I'll just-" Reno thrust out the two tickets, effectively shutting him up. The teenager took them and popped open the cash register, quickly shoving the money into Reno's waiting hand. "Th-there you go, dude!" He closed the register and watched Reno stalk off, with the unconscious Tanis still in his arms. "Um...have a nice day?"
Luckily, Reno hadn't heard him.
