((For me and Nightlightwolf, but of course other people are free to jump in.)) It was a sunny Sunday when Phil and Hailey entered the Main Shopping Area, which was the poetical name for... well... Bridgeport's main shopping area. There were actually a lot of people inside the mall... for being Bridgeport, anyway. Most of them were teenagers and Phil recognized a great deal of 'em from school. Phil and his companion attracted a lot of curious spectators; reasons for that could be that no-one recognized Hailey, she seemed 4 or 5 years older than Phil and Phil was usually alone. And the fact that she was stunningly beautiful didn't really make people stop staring. Phil tried to ignore them and instead rambled on about the movie they were going to see; The Hartford Maimer. "...And then the maimer, you know, gets hold on a band saw... Or was it a drill? Anyway, he starts to saw... or drill... right through the other guy's youknowwhat." He hadn't seen the movie but had read a vary captivating review and was actually excited to go see it. The soles of his shoes squeaked toward the white stone tiles inside the mall and sunlight flooded through the glass roof.

Hailey gave none of the stares any mind but the one paying attention to, Phil's and smiled the whole time he spoke and listening intently." sounds very interesting indeed" Hailey put arm around his head and hugged him slightly" is it normal for so many to stare?". she said half doing this on purpose she smiled sweetly and messed his hair up slightly and let go of his head. grabbed his hand and made his walk faster.

"Yeah, I know. And... Hey!" Phil protested when Hailey hugged his head and tried to wriggle his way free, but not until she had given his hair a good tousle. And then she grabbed his hand again, but he managed to draw it back and put it in his pocket. He could see people staring and heard someone giggle. His cheeks were flushed. "Could you stop that already?! Seriously, you're always acting like I'm ten or something! What's next? You wanna take me to a Pokemon movie instead?" But now they were outside the movie theatre and his spirits lifted again when he saw the posters for The Hartford Maimer. A cople of fingers in a bloody puddle formed the T, H and M. A good sign.

" what is Pokemon?" Hailey asked honestly and looked at the poster and made a face she felt slightly uneasy and she crossed her arms." I'm not treating you like your 10" Hailey smiled and smiled and turned and looked at him.

"Yes you are" he grumbled. And then he looked at her with a very incredulous expression. "You seriously don't know what Pokemon is? Oh, its... well, nevermind." There was very few people in the theater's entrée, so Phil went straight to the little ticket booth and put some bucks on the desk in front of a young man with reddish hair and severe acne. "Two tickets to 'The Hartford Maimer'." The older teenager, who had a plate which said "HI! MY NAME IS BILL!" on his chest, gave Phil a long look and then pushed back the money to him. "Can't be done, little man. Come back in a coupla' years or so." Phil looked confused for a while. "Uh, what?" "This movie is R-rated. If you're under 18 you'll have to be in the presence of a parent, and that chick looks a bit to young to be your mum." Realization dawned. He hadn't really thought about the rating system. "Give me a break. I have seen splatters since I was nine, do you seriously think that this thing is going to affect me in any way? Look, just give me the damn tickets already." The teenager leaned back in his chair and blew a big chew gum bubble. "Can't. Rules are rules. Wouldn't wanna give you nightmares. Why don't you see the Dragonball movie instead?" Then he turned toward Hailey. "But of course you can see the Maimer if you wanna. If it gets to scary I can hold your hand." An angry spark gleamed in Phil's eyes. "Why, you...!"

The guy's chew gum bubble burst, but he didn't seem to notice. He was just staring at Hailey with a somewhat shocked expression. But then sat up in his chair and looked at Hailey with a troubled look on his face. "Uhh, I'm sorry. But I really can't let him in... If my boss finds out she'll give me the sack!" Phil locked at Hailey with a similar shocked expression, but when he noticed how troubled the older guy was he turned toward him again. "But your boss's not around right now, right? And if you don't give us the tickets we might just go home and download it instead, and then one day no-one will come to the theaters no more and then you won't have any work anyway. So?" HI! MY NAME IS BILL! hesitated, then he accepted the money and gave them back the change and two tickets. "Have a nice day..." he said a bit reluctantly. "Yeah, whatever." Phil took the tickets and the change and started to walk toward the popcorn stand, and as soon as he saw that HI! MY NAME IS BILL! was occupied with another customer he held up the tickets triumphantly in the air. "Man, that was great! I could practically hear his balls shrink. How d'you do that? Every time I tries to be threatening people just laugh at me."

"Yeah, I can see that. Remind me not to piss you off, 'kay?" He went over to the treats section and ordered a large popcorn, an XL coke, nachos and a bag of M&Ms. Then he turned to Hailey. "So what do you want? I can pay, its my dad's treat." Actually, Phil's father didn't KNOW it was his treat. But Phil thought that a few bucks was neither here nor there.

((Sorry it's been so long, I kind of... forgot... Anyway, I'm speeding it up a little if that's okay.))
Phil just nodded and took a great sip of the coke. Being a growing boy and all he had the metabolism of a horse and could eat as much as two full grown men if he wanted to. They got seated in the red cinema chairs and watched the usual mishmash of commercials, trailers and messages to turn of the cellphone. Then the movie started: a dark, humming bass solo foreboded the text The Hartford Maimer. The letters were dripping blood. The movie actually started out okay; the first decapitation happened after just three minutes and the Maimer could handle his chainsaw in a very creative way. Some of the techniques hadn't Phil ever seen in a movie before. But after twenty minutes the movie took a new turn; the Maimer returned to his own house, an old ramshackle house outside Hartford. He had two girls with him. Now this hadn't been a problem if it hadn't been for the dogs. The Maimer kept a pack of bloodthirsty mongrels in his backyard. A snarling starved herd of rabid dogs with gleaming eyes and yellowing froth around their noses, dogs with filthy pelts and long, white fangs... Phil suffered from cynophobia, and just the sight of a perfectly normal dog on the street was enough to make his throat dry and his knees shake. This was to much. His heart started to beat rapidly and his breath become quick and shallow, he tried to steady himself and draw deep breaths but it was impossible. "Oh, come on!" he muttered under his breath. "It's just a stupid movie, damnit!" But when the Maimer pushed out one of the girls on the yard he quickly closed his eyes, but he couldn't shelter his ears from the girl's screams and those awful growls, snarls and barks... He gripped Hailey's arm with a strength that was almost uncannily strong for a boy his age and the smell of mold started to spread in the auditorium. "Let's get out of here!" he whispered urgently.

Hailey was completely unfazed by the screams and tortures pictures that took to the screens because her herself have done worse to a human then what has been shown the the flashing screen.Hailey leaned how a almost calming feeling filled Phil a little bit and she smiled." if you want we will go" she whispered back and she got up attentively and carefully lead Phil out of the movie theater by his hand and walked out of the doors and let go of phil's hand.noticing before that he did not like to hold her hand he got embarrassed by it." i guess it wasn't a good idea to go see that movie huh?"

"Oh, I've seen worse. Believe me." Phil leaned towards a wall and tried to steady himself. His face had a pale green hue and his heart still thumped like crazy and his mouth had gone completely dry. "It's just that...I don't like dogs." Well, it sounded lame. And then he noticed that HI! MY NAME IS BILL!, the obnoxious teenager from the ticket booth, was watching them. Bill rolled his eyes in a told you so-gesture that made Phil feel like the lamest person in the world. "Come on... lets go." He started to walk towards the exit. Unfortunately he had left his snacks in front of his seat, but he had no intentions whatsoever of retrieving them. And even if he had felt like going back to get them he had no appetite at all anymore.

HI! MY NAME IS BILL! seemed to wince slightly and quickly turned his attention elsewhere. Phil noticed that and it made him feel slightly better. "Hey, no worries. That movie seems to suck big time anyway." They strolled out into the mall. Phil didn't care about the attention Hailey withdrew anymore, he was just so relieved that they were away from that cinema. "So, what do you want to do now? I don't really have any ideas."
