MST 3000, Friday Night

Now Playing

Galaxy Quest

"Ready for the movie, Leda?" Karla asked, smiling. "It has ships that fly through the stars." Karla wasn't going to get over that for a while probably.

[For she with pointy ears. Actually, how many people in Fandom can claim that? Hmmm...Anyway, theater is open for your viewing pleasure. Not-dirty.]

Comments

"It didn't?" But Leda liked happy endings. Even if she didn't always believe in them.

[glacial_queen]

Karla shook her head sadly. "They won and all, but took some heavy casualties. People died."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Well...at least they won." Hey! Wasn't that monster dead a second ago? "Yeep!" Leda by the way had never seen a horror movie.

[glacial_queen]

Karla jumped, too, accidentally throwing popcorn in the air. "Mother night!"



[Monsters?]

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Okay that had been kind of cool.

[Monsters, Aliens potato potahto. We're making this movie up as we go right?]

[glacial_queen]

"Why does everything have to jump out like that?" she complained grumpily, picking popcorn out of her hair.


[I thought we were seeing the Star Trek meta? *laughs*]

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"To make us jump." Leda picked a popcorn out of her friend's hair and ate it. Mm, buttery.

Yes but that kind of stuff could happen in that too right? "Kirk" was fighting the villain's pet. Or did you mean the specific movie?

[glacial_queen]

"Well, it's working," Karla groused. "Thank the Darkness I wasn't drinking my soda instead."


[I was thinking the new movie, but it's cool either way. The plot on screen really is only peripherary.]

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Eeesh, yeah." Oh, another kernel, just above Karla's ear, which Leda used as an excuse to brush her hair back, and juuuuust barely touching her ear as she got the last little bit of corn.

[glacial_queen]

Karla shivered a bit at Leda's touch; it had sent electric tingles down her spine. Suddenly she realized that Leda was right there. Her mouth and throat went dry, and she hastily took a sip of soda.

"Exactly." What in Hell were they talking about?

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda didn't quite remember either, but her wrist was now resting on Karla's shoulder, her fingers curled against her throat.

Of course Leda was also watching the movie, but her attention was somewhat divided.

[glacial_queen]

Which meant that Leda could feel it when Karla swallowed hard. Why did it suddenly feel very warm in here? It was as if the air had been electrified or something.

She was failing to notice what was happening on the screen, hyper-aware of Leda's fingers instead.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda did feel it, and now she too was having trouble focusing on the screen. She was looking at Karla out of the corner of her eye, and most of her attention was on the feel of Karla's nearness, and the sensations on her hand, like, the tickling of the girl's hair on the back of her hand.

[glacial_queen]

Karla glanced over to Leda. "Hi," she said, somewhat breathily. It was stupid, but about all that her brain could come up with.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

The tenseness of the situation, and the silliness of the comment almost made Leda burst into giggles. But she didn't. Because when she was sober she was capable of filtering. Even at a time like this.

"Hi."

[glacial_queen]

"I--uh--movie?" Karla squeaked. She was so not good at this.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Yes, good movie." Leda turned her attention back to the screen as best she could. She didn't move her hand though.

[glacial_queen]

There were explosions or something on the screen. Whatever. Karla had kind of stopped focusing on that. She was, however, acutely aware of Leda's hand on her neck. She wondered if Leda could feel how her pulse was racing...

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Now that you mention it there was something...Leda rested her fingers a little more firmly on Karla's neck to see. Hmm, it was a lot like hers at the moment.

[glacial_queen]

"So...this part of the movie is interesting," Karla croaked, just to be saying something. For all she knew, the movie could be over by this time.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Mm hm. I think the good guys are winning. They're, remarkably resourceful." She wasn't really looking at the screen anymore. Her face was vaguely pointed to it, but her eyes were pretty much on her date.

[glacial_queen]

Karla finally just gave in to the impulse, leaned over, and kissed Leda. It was inexpert, but still sweet.

Or maybe that was just all the Coke and stolen gummi bears.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda returned the kiss gladly. Mm, coke and gummi bears. Her fingers curled lightly around the back of Karla's neck, not exerting any pressure, but just resting there.

[glacial_queen]

Resting there lightly or not, Karla still reached up and moved Leda's hand, lacing their fingers together so Leda wouldn't be offended. It would be a while before she could be comfortable kissing someone whose fingers were near her throat.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Hand holding was nice too. Later when she was more in a thinking mood she might wonder why Karla had done that. For now, she just went with it. She gave her hand a squeeze, and rubbed her thumb across it.
