After Helena had run into that random guy in the park, she had wondered about him. He seemed alright- obviously he wasn't afraid to use those cheesy pick up lines that Helena truthfully loved, even if she didn't admit it to anyone but herself. On top of that, he hadn't gotten angry at her after she slapped him with the ipod. He ALSO took it like a man and didn't shriek out in pain or something.. Even though Helena was close to positive that her little nano couldn't have hurt him that much.
Over all, this guy seemed alright, but JUST alright. There was a chance that she would see him around town again, unless he was one of those random people who couldn't seem to sit still in a town long enough to figure out a person's last name. BUt somehow Helena doubted that he was like that. Pth, what, so now she was one of those odd people who could automatically tell a person, just from looking into their eyes?
She had avoided his eyes at almost any cost, because once she looked into a guy with substance's eyes she was hooked like a lone fish in a small pond. Well anyways, Helena was thinking about all this as she sat in the comfy movie theater chairs, waiting for her movie to start. She hadn't seen a movie in this new town's movie theater yet, and she wanted to see how big the movie theater was. That was basically the only thing she did back at her old town- Go see movies and talk to people about how good or bad the movies were. She might as well have gotten a job as a movie editor..[is that what you call them? The people- oh!] I mean movie reviewer while she still lived there. But the theaters back at her old town were large enough, and they had surround sound too.
Talk about awesome, that movie theater could make even Barnie seem fascinating. But this place- well it was homely. She could imagine coming here on a rainy day and watching Johnny Depp. Looking past the many rows of movie theater chairs in front of her, Helena watched the screen slowly go through all of its advertisments and things of that sort. Why couldn't they just get to Spider Man 3 already? She had been waiting for a week or two to see it, and it was possible they were building up the suspence for the actual feature movie.. Right?
Helena sighed quietly as she watched the kids pile into the seats in front of her, and the screen change from a 'Enjoy your Popcorn!' screen to a 'Don't forget: Turn off your Cell Phone!' screen. Oh how wonderful this movie would be, once it actually began that was.

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
Dirty little secret, hope that you can keep it
Isn't Fate funny? It seemed that one minute, Glaciar Vinter was wrapped up snug in his blanket, happily enveloped in a dream that involved bunnies, hairbrushes and Santa Claus - a little too much coffee before bed, perhaps? - and the next, he was running a hand through his unusual black-and-white hair as he entered the movie theatre. Over yet another cup of morning coffee, he was reading the paper like a good boy and had noticed an ad for Spiderman 3. Now, as an avid fan of the comic since he was about seven, this temptation had been too much to resist. Pulling on a pair of black jeans and a white shirt with pink stars exploding over it - one of his favourites, from Bleeding Star Clothing, an excellent brand with awesome shirts - and, stepping into his Vans, he grabbed his keys and wallet and was on his way.
Stepping in the queue for a ticket, he yawned. Maybe staying up late last night to watch a Jennifer Garner marathon (including Elektra, awesome movie) hadn't been such a good idea. When it was his turn, he dutifully requested his ticket and paid, stepping over to the Candy Counter. One look at all that popcorn and lollies made him feel sick. He turned queasily away. Four cups of coffee in the morning was one thing. Four of Coke and a gigantic box of popcorn was another.
Walking up to the ticket-ripper dude, he watched painfully as his fifteen-dollar piece of paper was mercifully crushed under the bulky hands of the bored-looking guy his age, standing next to his box. Glaciar was instructed in snappy tones to go to Cinema 5. Meekly he dropped his head and went on his way, glancing up at the big number signs above the cinema doors. When he found number 5, he shuddered. The doors were closed. That meant the ads had already started, which was bad for two reasons. One, he would have to walk in late and everyone would think he was an idiot who couldn't keep track of time, and two, he hated missing the ads because it was like wasting five bucks of your money. You paid those $15 to get maximum screen time.
Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the double doors and stepped inside. For now he was safe, lurking behind the grandstand. But after a few seconds he stepped out, and walked up the little hallway next to the rows of seats rising up and up. He could feel everyone's eyes on him as he ascended the steps towards the back. He watched the floor so he wouldn't trip in the dark light, but pulling them up as he looked for a seat, he wished he hadn't. For he saw someone in the crowd that made him trip over his own feet.
It was her. That girl from the Park. Helena. Glaciar lost his footing and almost fell, and ended up seizing the back of some lady's chair and making her yelp. He balanced himself and apologised profusely, eyes still on the fair girl sitting near the back. He remembered her perfectly - how could he forget? She had seized control of his thoughts with an iron grip, and barely an hour passed when he didn't think of her. Although they hadn't met on ideal terms - he remembered with clarity how she had stabbed him with her iPod - there was just... something about her that fascinated him. And it wasn't just her looks, for she was indeed a looker. It was something else. Something he couldn't put his finger.
He hadn't thought he'd ever see her again, so seeing her suddenly appear in front of him stunned him, in a good way. His feet took control of his body and he found himself stepping up toward her. Sliding into her row, he sat down in the seat next to her, ignoring any wishes of privacy, for all he knew, she hated him, but he didn't care. He had to talk to her again.
"Why are you here? Are you stalking me?"
He whispered furiously, eyes widened. He drank in her appearance, for who knew when they would meet again. His pale skin shone slightly in the dim lighting, and he nervously ran a hand through his black-and-white hair.
[OOC__ Wow. These two give me MUSE. =D]
Don't tell anyone or you'll be
Just another regret

The movie is JUST about to start, Helena was thinking to herself. Maybe if she went up to the screen and yelled 'COME ON ALREADY!' it would start and she could finally see the black costumed Spider Man she had been so dreaming about since she saw the first commertial. Helena felt like crying- the stupid theater had taken her hard earned cash and now she had to wait twenty minutes just to see Spider Man? Yeah I know it was stupid of her to be thinking about it like this- after all it was just a movie eh? But she still couldn't help it. Just when she thought she was going to have to knock someone out, she heard a bit of commotion in the front of the room. She was so high up, though, that she couldn't see what was going on.
Helena figured that maybe someone had just tripped clumsily on the unlit stairs and spilled their coke on someone. She's seen it happen- to her that is. But she didn't care all that much since she didn't know for sure what happened. Helena took out one of her books that she had brought with her, Moby Dick, and began to read. No sense in letting her brain turn to mush as she thought about a guy and got angry at a huge screen on a wall. Why not read something she enjoyed to calm her thoughts AND her mood? Just when she was getting into the book and she could feel her eyes widening from antisipation, she felt the wind of someone nwalking in front of her. Looking up, Helena saw no one there because they had probably kept going past her. Now she heard a voice directly next to her that sounded angry. Helena yelped a bit and pretty much fell out of her seat, her book somehow staying ON the seat. She wished that they had just traded places so she wouldn't have to wonder what kind of dried popcorn and sticky drinks were now on her butt. Trying not to seem to aggrivated, since she didn't HAVE to be so jumpy, Helena returned to her seat and closed Moby Dick.
"I'm here because I enjoy watching emo looking spider men, and no I'm not sta-" It had just occured to her that she hadn't actually loked at the guy who had spoken to her in such harsh tones. When she looked to her left [right?], she found herself looking at the guy who had been assaulted with her ipod nano. It was Glacier! She felt like getting up and hugging him, and yet attacking him at the same time. She always seemed to do something stupid when first talking to him, and Helena hoped this wasn't forming some type of pattern.
"Hey there." Helena said, before the lights dimmed and the surround sound did its stuff. The movie was finally starting, when she had someone to talk to and didn't exactly WANT it to start. Wait what was she saying? She had been so aggrivatedly waiting for the movie to start and now she was just going to not pay attention because of some guy? Pth heck no. Helena had paid and now she was going to enjoy the movie whether Glacier was there or not. Maybe he would leave in the middle and she could focus better..
OOC__ These two? What two?

[OOC__ Oh. Mah. Lawd. I am uberrrr sorrehhhhh.]
Glaciar hid his grin as Helena continued to read her book while answering. Obviously she didn't realise it was him. Finally, as she looked up, she promptly fell off her chair. Glaciar winced. That couldn't be a good reaction. It seemed that every time they met, something embarrassing would happen. First it had been Helena attacking him with her iPod, and now it was her falling over. Next time it could be even more dangerous to their health. Maybe this was the meaning to the phrase, 'no pain, no gain'. And Helena was a hell of a thing to gain, if you get my drift. ;]
Why did he like her so much? Usually you would be turned off by someone who stabbed you, not start dreaming about them. Really, his feelings made no sense. He had known this girl for what, two weeks? And already he had a huge grin plastered on his face, and they had exchanged 3 sentences. He reached down to help her up but already she had made her way upright. He opened his mouth to cut forth with one of his seemingly never-ending pick-up lines, but was interrupted by the movie starting. Torn between talking to Helena and watching the movie he had been hanging out for, he settled for sliding closer to her and keeping his mouth shut.
As the opening credits rolled by, Glaciar squirmed slightly in his seat. He never was one to sit still. Growing up, he had been a Ritalin kid and it had never really worn off. Wriggling to get comfortable, he slid down in his seat and propped his feet on the chair in front of him. His concentration on the movie was interrupted by frequent glances to the lovely blonde seated beside him.
[OOC__ Ew. Disgusting. Forgive.]

Helena still wasn't going to let a total stranger ruin her amazing movie that she had been just dying to see maybe a few minutes before. Not that she wasn't still dying to see it, but it was like she was a three year old whose eyes had latched onto something shiny. She was just a bit.. Preoccupied from the movie, if you will. Well if Helena really WAS preoccupied from the movie, she didn't let it show. She kept her eyes straight the entire time that the movie was playing, paying close attention to the small loopholes that seemed to be forming every once in a blue moon. There was a lot of killing, and blaming, and after a while it got tiring trying to remember who killed who and who had a grudge with who.
Somehow Helena had always found a way to make even the most relaxing thing [watching a movie] such a burdon. She had always tried to remember stuff for the main characters, sort of like memorizing the map's directions on Dora The Explorer.
Helena noticed that Glacier had scooted towards her in the beginning of the movie, and she hadn't skooted near him nor further away. One would seem obvious and the other would seem rude, and Helena wasn't sure which one she was aiming for anyways. Thus, she stayed put. Helena had not noticed him looking over at her every once in a blue moon because she was so consentrated on the movie. You could have pushed her out of her seat and she would have just kept staring at the screen, as if in a deep trance of trying to figure out what had happened before the movie had been played. Helena hadn't seen the first Spider Man.
Finally the movie ended, which a horrible ending might I add oO, and the audience slowly rose. The movie hadn't been exactly what she had been thinking it would be since she found out about it on a commertial, but it was alright. Helena would have seen it again if she had a choice. Rising along with the rest of the audience, she slowly made her way to the exit as Snow Patrol played its best. She somehow had forgotten about Glacier, and the fact that she had very well just left him. He was probably behind her anyways, because most people didn't just linger after a movie ended. Turning around to see if Glacier was there, Helena found her face in the stomach of a kind of... Overweight fella. Well that was a real nice move, she thought to herself as she apologized over and over. She walked past the man, still apologizing, and continued looking for Glacier.
OOC. Mine is worser..er than yours (: And don't worry about it, I was just wondering if mine was so retarded that you just didn't WANT to respond.

Halfway through the movie Glaciar squirmed. He was starting to wish he HAD given into the evil temptations of the Candy Bar people and bought their buttery, sugary, heart-attack-in-a-box goodies. Well, not really goodies. He wasn't really a sucker for exploded corn kernels drowned in salt, unlike most people. No, Mr Vinter was more of a Maltesers person. Ahhh. Crispy, lightweight malt balls dipped in smooth milk chocolate were just his kind of thing. And, you couldn't really watch a movie without eating-slash-drinking something. It really went against the laws of nature. It wasn't right. But, today he had been so desperate not to be late and miss the start of the movie, he hadn't bothered to pay MORE money - damn you ticket sellers and your no-student-prices-on-school-holidays rule! damn you all! - for a box of popcorn that made your lips itch afterward.
[Is that just me? Or do your lips itch after you've eaten extra-salty popcorn? Maybe I'm just weird o.O]
But anyway. He finally settled and narrowed his blue eyes [that so perfectly matched his name] in an effort to concentrate on the ever-changing plot. Damn, this thing was harder to follow than a series of Bold & the Beautiful! When it ended - and he had to agree with Helena here, the ending was shit - he sat back with a sigh, staring hard at the back of the chair in front of him as he tried to work it all out. So focused he was, that he didn't notice Helena stand up, collect her stuff and make her way into the aisle.
He was brought out of his stupor when he heard Helena's voice mumble a 'sorry' and saw his blonde friend head back over to him. This brought a smile on his face, and he bounced up instantly, almost tripping over in his eagerness to reach her.
"Are we on waiting terms now? Oh, goody!"
He exclaimed excitedly. Linking his arm through Helena's, he half-skipped, half-dragged her down the aisle, bringing into play his talent for dodging things and taking them right to the door. He once lived on a farm, and every morning it was his job to turn out the cattle and then bring them in at night. Trust me, people are a LOT easier to dodge than speeding bulls.
[OOC__ NU-UH!! Mine takes the cake in uber-uber-shitteh-muselessness-ess. So HA.]

As Helena made her way up through the crowd and towards Glacier, he came down and met her. Glacier said something that didn't seem to click with Helena, especially since sitting in a movie for over one hour always made her feel like her brain was slowly rotting in her small scull, but she did understand it once he was putting his arm through hers and dragging her towards the door. She wondered if he had taken dance lessons which had made him a graceful kid who could avoid obstacles, but then decided not to ask him. It would pretty much be like asking him if he was gay, because usually guys who dance are gay.
Helena opened the door and was practically blinded by the harsh lights, but kept walking despite the fact that she couldn't see. It wouldn't last for long, and pretty soon she would be able to tell where she was going.
"I think they should have it a bit darker as soon as you get out of the flick." Helena said with her english accent, shielding her bright blue eyes with her left hand. Hopefully she wouldn't run over a random kid, or fall into any dangerous trashcans with rats eating popcorn in them. Not that either of those were possibilities, and Helena wasn't worried about them anyways.
She truthfully wondered if Glacier was still there with her, or if he had made a left when she had turned right. He had seemed kind of fond of her the last time they had met though, so Helena really doubted that he would leave her... But it was still possible wasn't it?
"Hey Glacier..?" Helena called, looking around, although it did absolutely no good because she was seeing in a white blur. Arg, now how was she going to find him? Maybe stay put? Why did she want to find him so bad anyways, she didn't even know the guy's last name for gosh sake! Helena, although thinking it stupid after a moment, stood by something semi tall and waited for Glacier to find her... Either that, or for her eyesight to find HER.
OOC. Fine! Goodness child. Your post sucks [not really]. =D

Glaciar squinted slightly as they exited the cinema and re-entered the real world, where not everything was solved in two hours. It WAS unusually sunny today, and it was quite hard to see. In order to shade his eyes, he released Helena's arm and wandered off in the direction he thought she'd taken. After taking a few steps, he had regained his eyesight enough to realise that she wasn't walking along next to him. What the f... ? Twirling around, he looked over the crowd of people coming out of the cinema for her. Why was he so worried? It's not like they were friends or anything. It was quite hard to establish WHAT they were, actually. Acquaintences? Meh, no. Urgh, he couldn't be arsed figuring it out. He wasn't that smart.
Spotting a small blonde head, he made his way towards it, hoping it was her. Ah, nope. A German lady. He smiled politely at her and turned away. Eek, awkward. Where the hell was she? Had she run to fricking Saudi Arabia or something? It shouldn't be THIS hard to find her. Seeing another blonde, he swerved a tall man to get to it. Aha! It was Helena. He recognised her clothes. Putting a hand on her shoulder, he smiled apologetically at her.
"Sorry. So, um, you wanna get something to eat?"
This was a surprise even to him. He frowned slightly at himself. Well, he was hungry, and he liked Helena's company! She amused him. I don't know WHY, because usually he went for the more out-going, daredevil chicks, but there was something about Helena that he liked. Maybe it was her brutal honesty. Meh, I don't know. He smiled at her kindly, awaiting a response. Hopefully a yes, otherwise this would be reaaallllyyyy awkward.

As Helena gained her eyesight back, she continued searching with her eyes for Glacier. She still thought that he had had it up to here [wherever here is] with Helena and her ability to fall over nothing, so he had just bailed on her, but somewhere deep down Helena knew that wasn't the case. He seemed to nice to do that to her, didn't he? Suddenly Helena felt a hand on her shoulder and gasped, turning around to find Glacier standing there. So he had gone the OTHER direction, that made sense. No wonder she hadn't been able to find him, he had been somewhere behind her all along.
Get something to eat? It would have been simple to say yes, since that's one of the words Helena was best at saying, but why SHOULD she say yes?
Well truthfully, as Helena searched her mind for one reason as to why she would say no, she found no reason. Well that was OBVIOUSLY a sign. Still wanting to keep her ''cool'' attitude about her, Helena opened her mouth and spoke.
"Yeah I guess I would." She said, making her way towards the food stand. It wasn't because she wanted food from there, especially since all the movie theater had was popcorn and candy, but it was because the food area of the movie theater was by the exit.
"Where do you want to go?" She asked, although her mind was sort of someplace else at the moment. Helena wondered if them going to get something to eat would lead somewhere, possibly somewhere she wanted it to lead? Ah she was just being a silly kid, Helena didn't want anything to lead anywhere and her hormones were just trying to tell her otherwise. It was extremely irritating for her at the moment. Part of her just wanted to listen to the snobby part of her, snub the guy because he wants you and you don't want him; he isn't your type anyways. But the other part of Helena just wanted to go and snog him, ask him to be her boyfriend no matter what sociaty said about girls asking guys out. Maybe Helena could find a happy medium between the two? Or maybe she could just ignore both of her instincts and do what her heart told her to do.
Oh, God that sounded completely cheesy...

Glaciar was pleasantly surprised when Helena accepted his offer. Good. Now he didn't look like a complete dork, asking out some girl who didn't actually like him and was just being polite. But technically, was he asking her out? It was like they'd just been on a date, though it wasn't a date because nobody had asked anybody if they wanted to go see Spiderman, although there was no reason they shouldn't because obviously they both LIKED Spiderman and hadn't thrown their popcorn at the screen or anything, so the date-that-wasn't-a-date-because-it-wasn't-officially-a-DATE-date had gone well.
Now Glaciar had confused himself. He stopped following Helena and stood, a retarded look on his face, as he tried to work out his own logic. So now they were going out for the second part of their non-date. This was like, the most complicated way to boyfriend-and-girlfriend-hood. It didn't usually go like this, did it? 'Course not. It was a lot simpler than this. Maybe, because their non-DATE-date had turned out so confusingly, that was a clue as to how their non-relationship would be. Glaciar couldn't handle that sort of stress. So, did she like him or not? She'd said yes to food, so that was a good sign. Or maybe she was just being polite.
It occurred to Glaciar that he should probably stop tormenting his brain and find the Great Disappearing Blonde again. He snapped out of his retarded phase and stood up on his tip-toes, scanning for her head. Spotting it, he made his way toward her as best he could. This was like swimming upstream. He made it in time to catch the last part of her question, and stopped beside her to think. Seeing a large man tumbling toward them, Glaciar grabbed Helena's arm and steered her out of harm's way, into a less-crowded area. Finally, he could breathe. They were outside on the street now, and he craned his neck, looking for a suitable place, calling out his findings to Helena as he went so she could make her choice.
"Uhh... I see... Burger King... MacDonalds... Subway... some kebab place... another kebab place... a sushi bar... another Burger King... "
