Reynico May 4th - Owen Graham

                                    

                                          
I was bored out of my mind, behind the counter. Why did I ever took this job, seriously? People don't go anymore to the cinema. They'd hire Netflix or download the movies/series onto their devices and enjoy them all the times they want to, only for less than 5 bucks per month.
                          
"Another slow day?" my co-worker, Cassy, yawned at me. We were that bored. Like I said, the cinemas are in their way to extinction.
                          
"Looks like it, Cass" I stretched my muscles, trying not to give away how much I wanted to quit.
                          
"I swear, if I don't see someone walking through those doors for other than use the bathroom, I'll resign" she promised. I nodded. It didn't sound like a bad idea...
                          
"Let's give it till the end of the day?" I suggested. Cassy pulled her hand out for me to shake it.
                          
"It's a deal" she announced, when I shook it. This was going to be a long day...
                          
~oOo~
                          
Around 2pm, when I was starting to get impatient and fearful that I'd have to search for another job, a miracle happened:
                          
People walked into the cinema.
                          
It was a family of four. A mother, a father and two kids not older than 8, a boy and a girl. Probably, twins. The four of them were staring inside the hall as if they never saw a movie theater before.
                          
"Tio, we can see movies here?" the boy asked the man, his father. Or his uncle? My Spanish is very crappy.
                          
"Yeah, we can see movies here, Charlie" he replied, smirking at the boy "Now, if I only remembered how to do this..." At this, the woman rolled her eyes.
                          
"Seriously, Nico. You behave as if you've never been on a cinema in your life..."
                          
"Maybe, because they motion movies were just beginning when I was born?" he answered, sarcastically. The woman raised her hands in defeat and smirked.
                          
"Mommy said we first need to choose the movie" the little girl stated, serious. It was obvious that she was the most serious from the twins "We can't see anything that's too violent, nor we can see something that she and Daddy can see-"
                          
"She means people kissing!" her brother interrupted her, making her blushing "Give me a kiss, Bianca!" he teased her, making her squeal and running around the hallway, chasing each other. The woman started to shake her head while the guy, Nico, chuckled before stopping them.
                          
"Alright, alright!" he stood between them, his arms pulled out to stop them "No more chasing each other or we're going back" he threaten, though it didn't sound very serious. But, the kids nodded, probably not wanting to end this out with their uncle.
                          
"Nico, look at this" the woman pointed out at a poster that we had hanging. Very loudly, and totally forgetting that they were near me, I smacked my head for being forgetful. Today was May 4th!! Which only added to my confusion. Where were the fanatics?! "Apparently, they have a marathon today of this movie, Star Wars..."
                          
"Oh, I heard Dad talking about it!!" the little boy, Charlie, mentioned "He was saying Tio Leo and Uncle Jason were gonna go dressed like that to the party... That Aunt Piper said she wasn't going to join them, whatever that meant..." Oh, I understood perfectly, kid...
                          
"Whatever it is, Charlie, I'm sure your Dad will explain to you when you grow up..." the woman comforted him, only to make him puffs chest.
                          
"I grew up! I'm eight!"
                          
"Daddy was thinking something more like eighteen" his twin pointed out, making him gasp.
                          
"So, should we watch this one? Here says that with one ticket you can see... seven of them?!" he shouted, looking around, insanely "That's like staying all day here!!"
                          
"Can we see the first one?" the woman wondered, shrugging. The kids nodded, eagerly "I'm sure we can see the rest some other day..." At those words, the twins rushed towards my booth, catching the attention of the grown ups "Guys, what are you doing?"
                          
"Getting tickets before they finish them off!!" the boy gestured behind them, where a long queue of teens, parents, fans and fanatics started to congregate. I paled about the amounts of tickets we were gonna sell today! I looked down and the twins were staring at me, expectantly. I smiled at them.
                          
"One second" I turned around and yelled at Cassy, who was sat, doing nothing "Cassy!! Get ready the machines!!" She jumped out of her seat and rushed around the place, phone in hand, calling all the employees with day off to help us "Now, yes. How can I help you?"
                          
"Four tickets for the Star Wars movie!" the little girl asked, decided, while the guy behind her was pulling money out of his wallet.
                          
"Please, kids... Remember I need money to live as well..." the guy joked as I handed him the tickets and he traded them for his money.
                          
"Of course, Tio... That means Tia Reyna is gonna buy the snacks!" The woman's eyes, Reyna, got a little big, but she kept the composure.
                          
"Which means you two are going to share cause Tia Reyna has a date tonight and she's paying..." Nico looked at her, surprised "Piper arranged the date, which means everything could go wrong..."
                          
"If I wasn't dating Will, he would definitely smacked into my head that I should pay for it..." Nico rubbed his neck, before the little girl grabbed the tickets from him and tilt her head.
                          
"Tio Nico, if you and Uncle Will are dating, and the man is suppose to pay... Who pays?" Ah, the innocence of the kids... Nico gulped and looked kind of uncomfortable, making even Reyna chuckled.
                          
"I think this is a conversation for another moment, kids" Reyna grabbed the kids and guided them towards the candy stand, though I wouldn't recommend giving candy to those young hyperactive minds.
                          
"I just hope they don't eat candy..." Nico murmured lowly, when he followed them. I sighed and got ready for my next client.
                          
~oOo~
                          
I was waiting next to Cassy to help her in the in-between the movies, because we had people taking care of the tickets. For some reason beyond my understanding, the tickets were sold for the first three movies (they were the first ones, not the prequel trilogy). Apparently, saving Carrie Fisher from a garbage container is exciting and sexy at the same time... Beats me.
                          
"It was kind of obvious!" I heard someone complain, exiting the theater room. I turned my head and saw the twins coming out of the room, with their aunt and uncle, chatting away.
                          
"Why you say so, Bianca?" Nico asked her, rubbing her long black hair.
                          
"Cause, duh! Jedis can't have kids! And Darth Vader said he 'felt' Luke!" she explained, all serious "Besides, Leia liked Luke right away, so she end up with the bandit... Aunt Thalia says girls 'always' fall for the bad guy..."
                          
"That's very generic, Bianca... And not accurate, by the way"
                          
"Mom said Dad looked like a bad boy when he was young" her twin pointed out, walking out of the theater. I smirked, still busy with clients.
                          
I just love May the fourth...
