Valentine's Day
Katrina Halloran was smiling brightly as they exited the theater, popping the last piece of popcorn from her bucket into her mouth before turning to glance at the pinkette she had brought with her. While she was delighted, Priscilla Stratford seemed... Less so.
"Oh, c'mon, Prissy. It wasn't that bad, was it?" Still grinning she tossed her popcorn bucket into the rubbish bin before looping her arm through the other young woman's. Prissy was green and a small part of her felt bad because of that. The other part of her was still blown away by just how freaking awesome the movie was.
"KittyKat. You said we were going to see a romantic movie. For Valentine's Day. For my birthday."
"I did," Katrina nodded, leading the pinkette carefully through the crowd of people, steering her away from the sticky-fingered youngsters who were pawing their way through people to keep up with their parents.
"That was not a romantic movie. That was... KittyKat, how could you? That movie was... It was crude and offensive and most definitely not a romantic movie." The pout on the pinkette's lips was almost enough to make Katrina frown. Almost.
"Alright, so maybe you're right. Maybe it was a comic book movie... But there was romance in it. Did you see the beginning? There was definitely..." A lot of banging. A lot of banging-- A whole year's worth of it, actually, and while that part wasn't really romantic the proposal was. "What about the proposal? What about the emotions? It had a happy ending! That counts, right?" Her smile was hopeful, eyes still bright even as the smallest feeling of guilt started to trickle in.
"I get to pick the movie next time, KittyKat-- A real romance."
Her face nearly fell at that, but she nodded a confirmation and agreement to Prissy's words. It was only fair, after all. Maybe it could be a thing that they did; alternate who got to pick what movie. It might mean that she got to broaden Priscilla Stratford's horizons just a bit and... Well, she could suffer through whatever movie Prissy picked. Her taste couldn't be that bad, could it?
"Right, definitely. You can pick the next movie that we see, or that you want me to watch-- But do you know what's more important than movies right now, Prissy? Way more important than movies? So much more important that you will forget that this movie wasn't your cup of tea?" Her brow lofted, spring green eyes sparkling as she tugged the other girl forward a few more steps before spinning on her heel to face her, waiting oh so patiently for the response.
"I don't know. What's more important than you ruining my birthday with a terrible movie, KittyKat?"
"Cheesecake, Prissy. Birthday cheesecake." Her smile turned into a grin as she saw a bit of light returning to her companion's eyes; just enough excitement to get them started chatting about other things again. She could find someone else to ramble on about the Deadpool movie with later, but right now the rest of the night was dedicated one-hundred percent to Priscilla Stratford and making sure that she had the most memorable, perfect rest of her twenty first birthday ever.
