"Sounds good," Candice said, opening the bag of chips.

Eliza pulled the remote out and looked for a movie choosing a suitably Corny looking b-movie.

And so, It Came From Beneath the City started playing a cheesy early monster movie.

Eliza watched fascinated as she ate some chips, the movie was old and cheesy but fun to watch.

"No, don't go that way" she said as the protagonists took a wrong turn.

"They always do," Candice said as she took a sip of her pop.

Eliza nods "Yeah, it's tradition I guess" she said between mouthfuls of chips.

"If they did the smart thing, there'd be no movie," Candice said.

Eliza nods and makes a grab for the soda "Guess that's true, but making jokes about that stuff is part of the fun of watching these old movies right?"

"True, you have much wisdom," Candice said.

Eliza shook her fist in mock anger "I warn you I have good aim with this.." she dug among the snacks for a moment "Popcorn"

"I surrender," Candice said,

Eliza laughed "I win" she looked thoughtful "I suppose I should ransom you know" she said with a laugh.

"You won't get much," Candice said.

Eliza nodded in understanding "Guess that means I get to keep you then" she said jokingly.

"Fate is cruel," Candice said.

Eliza sniffed "I promise to be a fair mistress" she said all the bleakness that had consumed her earlier gone for a while, as the warmth of friendship replaced it.

Soon enough, the movie had ended and Candice had to head home. After she left, your father came home and the two of you ate a late supper, you did your home work and it was time for bed.
******************************
You were awakened by the smell of eggs and sausages cooking.

Eliza quickly washed and dressed and headed to the kitchen "That smells really good" she said as she sat down.

"Fresh eggs'll do that," your Dad said as he served you a nice plate.

"Thanks" She said as she dug in "How was work yesterday?" she asked carefully.

"It was exhausting," your dad said. "I went to bed soon after you did."

"That sounds rough" Eliza replied "Guess you were too busy to see much of the news yesterday?"

"No, why?" your dad asked.

Eliza fidgited and looked down at her plate "No real reason" she said "Just saw a Dark Magic Girl had attacked some people"

"That's not good. I always worry about you when I hear about that. They're really powerful," your dad said.
