Chapter Text
"Hurry up hurry up hurry up hurry up hurry up hurry up hurry up hurry up!!!!!!!!!", Vriska chanted with a distinct lack of patience, sitting on a human couch. "We 8n't got all day for you to pick out a movie Joooooooohn"
A yell came from the upper level of the house, "okay, okay! I'm on my way down Ms. Bossyfangs!"
Vriska smiled as she saw him rush down the stairs. It was Tuesday night, which meant movie night, and in the Egbert/Serket household, one does not hold up movie night. He entered the room holding a stack of three DVD to Vriska playfully cooing "Seeeeeeee? I knew a gentlemen like you wouldn't make a lady wait!".
John smiled back at her. After all this time, he still couldn't believe that he had her. He always felt they were close, and Karkat had always insisted she was flirting hard with him, but when the kids and trolls beat the game together and made the new joint troll-human world (Earterina, they called it), he was still surprised when she asked him to be her matesprit and to live together. He agreed to it, partially because everyone felt it would help her mellow out, but mostly because he realized he really cared for a lot her in a derpy love poems kind of way and he wanted to do his best to make her happy. That was a while ago now, and they still got along swimmingly, especially when it came time for movie night.
"So whaaaaaaaat are we watching tonight? Anything with Nic Cage?", she said the last part practically swooning.
John shook his head as he popped the movie in "Nope, but I just happen to have a feeling you are going to love this one."
John sat down next to Vriska and she laid across the couch, plopping her legs on his lap. "Okaaaaaaaay, 8ut this 8etter 8e good! What's it called?"
"Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Trust me, this is gonna be right up your alley!", John said, clicking play on the remote.
It was very clear to John over the course of the movie that Vriska loved it. In fact, during most of the action scenes, she couldn't stay still, bouncing around the couch like a caffeinated child at Disneyland. At one point, Vriska was standing on the couch, one leg propped up on the arm rest and cheering on Captain Jack with glee, which John found extremely amusing until she threw a pillow at him because his laughing was distracting.
When the credits rolled, Vriska plopped back down on the couch crying out "Oh my god John that was gr8! It was almost like watching Mindfang's Journal! What the hell took so you long to tell me a8out that movie!? It was the 8est eeeeeeeeever!!!!!!!!!"
John smirked at her, "Well if you liked it that much I have some great news."
Vriska raised an inquisitive eyebrow, "What is that?"
John pulled out two DVD cases and said "It has sequels!"
The yell of "YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!" could be heard for miles from the house.
