Sunnydale AU: simple words

School is, finally, over.

Cal has shoved everything he's not bringing back home into his locker (so, pretty much everything) and now he's gone to find Tina.

"Battleship Travel Edition?"

Now she's just being silly.

Cal laughs.

"Or we could watch a movie."

Or two.

"Oh, right, right. Movie. Whatcha got over here?"

[americas-son.livejournal.com]

"Everything."

Which isn't entirely true - Cal moved his DVD collection into this room just in case, but he's the only one who watches movies regularly, and he tends mainly toward actiony, cheesy scifi. So if that's what Tina wants, she's all set, but if she was hoping for something a little quieter, the pickings are on the slim side.

"Do we want to save The Matrix since we talked about it with Sherlock?"

Tina has not had enough actiony, cheesy scifi in her life!

"Yeah," Cal says. "How about Armageddon?"

Management apologizes for Cal's taste in cinema.

And for getting that Aerosmith song stuck in your head.

"That sounds- cheery! Bring it on."

It's all good. Actiony, cheesy scifi has its place in the entertainment pantheon. Later Aerosmith songs perhaps less so...

"Oh, do you have Independence Day? I watch it whenever it comes on TV."

(Such a superior actiony, cheesy scifi flick.)

Sadly, Cal's collection is sorely lacking in turn-of-the-millennium cheerleading flicks.

He does have Independence Day, though.

"Yeah!" Cal brightens. "I haven't watched that in ages."

[take-youaway.livejournal.com]

How sad!

"Then let's watch both."

She picks up another bunch of grapes to snack on. This is a great date!
