Monday Night, 6:55pm at the Hollywood
"hey girlie, girl! good to see you. Happy we could do this," I say to my friend as she walks in the door.
"it's been a minute. I am happy too," she says with a big smile.
We show our E-tix to the woman behind the snack counter because the box office is still closed since the before Covid times. I look over the selections and there is not much for vegans to eat. Wendy gets a pre-buttered popcorn and soda while I ask for a package of nachos, Skittles and a bottle of water.
We gather our snacks and head for the left most theatre. I briefly stop at the trash can to throw out the yellow, gelatinous milk fat that passes as cheese dip.
Wendy nods," I was wondering why you ordered that."
"I just eat the chips," I reply, "wish they had soft pretzels. The skittles are for work during the week."
As the previews start, we munch on our snacks. About halfway through the action adventures, I rip open the skittles and offer Wendy some.
