Who: Aya+Daisuke.
Where: Cinema
What: Movie Night~
When: Early Evening

It was Tuesday which meant that it was Reel Deal night at the cinema. This week's special: old classics.

The crowds weren't as busy as the weekend but it was still higher than the weekdays usually were. Considering most people had things to do and times to get up for, that wasn't unusual. Even Aya couldn't help but think of that looming math test first thing in the morning. However...

She looked up at one of the posters she had a ticket and a cheap, promo card the cinema made for the show. It featured a young mahou shoujo girl with a knight theme to her, her rabbit-like mascot mentor by her feet (wearing a knight's helmet), a crescent moon in the sky, and the words 'SAVE THE UNIVERSE, SAYA. BECOME A MAGIC GIRL' in both Japanese and English. The animation was from the '90s and a bit unpolished but the art style made up for it.

She's REALLY wanted to see this on the big screen in all it's glory for once.

Did she say something wrong? There was a brief inner panic as she thought that before she recovered,

"That's a fair plan. What would you do with the money then?"

Daisuke closed his eyes thoughtfully, and he cursed himself for letting some of his thoughts out to her.

"Well, I've always been told it's important to act within and give something back to a group. I'd just use it to help some others who aren't as fortunate."

"The group..." Aya seemed to think on that for a moment. Then she nodded again with a smile, "It is important. And that's actually pretty nice of you to think like that.

"What about yourself? Isn't there something you'd want for the money you're getting?"

Daisuke laughed. "Well, of course, but good things will happen eventually. I've got plenty of time to wait, and other things to worry about." For as far as he was concerned, his sister and other people were a huge problem that took up lots of his energy.

"Waiting is good," Aya said. "If you want something I'm sure you'll go for it. Just don't let other things chew up too much of your time - you should have things for yourself."

She blinked then, shifting. "I think. It seems like common sense." Aya's turn came up in the line and she paid for her ticket and, when she got the promo card along with her ticket, a sort of childish like smile crossed her face.

Daisuke again had no difficulty in saying, "That's certainly some advice."

He was now near enough the front that his time came to pay. He said his thanks politely, took everything he was offered, and looked around to find Aya waiting outside the queue. Since her advice had made her sound like his father, he wanted to change the subject. "Can I look?"

"Sure!" Aya nodded enthusiastically, passing the hologram card over to him. "It's pretty cool, right?"

It was of Saya but her magical armor was different. Instead of her trademark red armor it was a white and red theme and a flowing mantle, her sword now seemed to be made of pure light, and she no longer wore her mask or had her hair tied back. She cradled a miniature version of world in her hands with a serene expression on her face. A banner below read 'THE WORLD KNIGHT' and the stats at the bottom were almost all straight S-rank.

Daisuke kept his fingers pressed down on the hologram, but was light with his touch. He had a blurred glimpse of flashes of change on Saya's hair and parts of her costume, which seemed filled with reflective material. "Oh. It catches the light."

He turned the card over and looked at the other side; there was a classical pattern on a brown background, over which was superimposed the logo of the character's show. He handed it back gently.

"Thanks. But you should probably take one of these."

While he was saying that, a hand had slipped into his bag and was bringing out a clear plastic sleeve, hard and firm, inside of which was another card sleeve. "Please. It doesn't cost me anything."

"Oh, probably. Thanks!" Aya took it, carefully slipping the card into it. "What's your card look like?"

The other hand went into his bag; out came a green-faced card with the representation of a horn of plenty. It shone dully old in the light, though its foil was gold. Text written underneath said the owner could draw five cards from their deck. He handed it over in its plastic case.

"Not a character card or anything, but probably way more powerful."

"If you say so," Aya said, carefully studying it. "It doesn't look like much art-wise but it sounds it'd be useful in gameplay if you knew how to use it right. I doubt they'd advertise it as a special promo otherwise."

She handed it back. "Do you actually play with them? Or do they just get store until their values up?"

There, in the middle of the cinema hall, Daisuke began acting so cautiously that it seemed he thought the place bugged. He looked so awkward as he swept his hair behind his ear, and hoped they would soon be going.

"I play a little."

"That's more than me." She nodded, then pushed with that inquisitiveness again. "If you're a collector and player you probably know a fair bit. How good are you?"

Daisuke kept silent; instead of seeming awkward, he now appeared worried. "I've won some tournaments. I think... Local ones. I'm good enough, but not perfect. What about you? Do you collect?"

"That's still impressive," Aya said. "I think there's a big enough fanbase here that coming out on top in a few things says something about how good you are.

"Cards? Not really, outside of things like this." She turned her card in the light, reflecting a small bright beam. "They look cool but I'm not a big enough fan to play the games or a big enough collector to save them for later."

A blink, some time to think, and then a smile. His bag was opened and the card safely put away within an eye-blink. "The film's about to start." He thought it kind to gently remind her of why she was here. "Shouldn't you be heading to the screen?"

"Ah, right, I should," she replied, looking at the nearby clock "There might be just enough time to grab some popcorn too."

She looked to Oubai and smiled. "It was nice talking to you, Oubai-kun. I hope you enjoy your flick."
