[Mod Intro]

[Oh, to be young and in love! It’s a lovely summer night in Mayfield, and all the hip kids and cool dudes are out on the town. Here you are with your summer sweetheart, in his fancy new car he just bought with that money from his job at the pool, out to see one last movie before school starts on Monday. You sit close in shiny new

[for a while, Horohoro stared vacantly at the movie screen as he held Key's hand tightly. But with a scream and her voice, he was jolted out of the drone-like state of being some boy that worked hard to buy a corvette.]

Huh?

[and feeling that his palms were kinda sweaty, looked down and saw the hands intertwined]

HUH?!

[Wait who was this girl? He needed to retrace his steps]

Uh- what are we doing? Hahaha...

[metal_idol_key]

[Key looks at her hand, but makes no attempt to move away.]

Key does not know. She just woke up sitting here with you...

[stay_cool_bro]

Oh.

...Nice, Mayfield. Way to make me look like a creep...

[he fumbles with the door, to obvious ends.]

Stuck.

[he sighs, looking forward]

I guess it's movie time.

[metal_idol_key]

[She tilts her head, a little confused.]

So you did not bring Key here?

[stay_cool_bro]

Ah... well I didn't, but I guess I also ... did. They made me do it somehow.

[metal_idol_key]

Key sees.

Why were we holding hands? Key does not remember anything...

[stay_cool_bro]

Why?

[the implications were obvious to him, but. :I]

Ummm... how should I break this to you...

Well, from the looks of it, because we're supposed to be having a date. I just woke up too, mind...

[god this is awkward. He decides to slurp one of the milkshakes.]

[metal_idol_key]

Having... a date? Like lovers.

[She looks down to her own milkshake-totally mulling his over.]

Key does not remember having a boyfriend...

[stay_cool_bro]

Well, a first date doesn't make us boyfriend and girlfriend or anything, so don't worry about it.

[He recalls on Valentine's that he had mentioned he wanted a girlfriend, but even still, something tells him this isn't his fault.]

[metal_idol_key]

Key understands. She has never had any sort of experience with the opposite sex...

[stay_cool_bro]

That's okay. We can just watch the movie?

[metal_idol_key]

All right.

[She turns just in time to watch The Blob om nom noming on said female victim.]

...What is that red gel?

[...And why does it remind her of something...]

[stay_cool_bro]

Umm, blood?

[wait this girl is super innocent, let's amend that]

FAKE blood.

[metal_idol_key]

Key does not understand-why would they film fake blood and fake killing? Is it not a bad thing, watching someone getting hurt or dying?

[stay_cool_bro]

Ummm... well when you put it that way...

Okay, but there's a big difference between movies and what Grady did with that whole monsters thing...

[ahem]

So, Key. It's no problem because everyone knows it's fake. The people on screen agreed to pretend to die so nobody's really getting hurt or embarrassed, but it's still scary. It's to give everyone a thrill.

[metal_idol_key]

[She doesn't flinch or seem scared, but covers her eyes.]

A thrill. Key is not used to ideas like this.
