Tses shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, maybe someone was a doomsday prepper. Always have a shotgun on hand. I just carry a knife. Works well enough for me. although... it did work better before I started wearing jeans... It's a lot harder to get it out of my boot than it was when it was on my thigh..." Tses said, voice trailing off and her expression suddenly thoughtful. She watched the wolves writhe in legless attempts to attack on the screen, and shrugged.

"Eh, something to think about eventually. Not like I really use it very much. Good to have though." After Ty nuzzled her, she settled her head on his shoulder and watched the movie more contently. She almost wished she had something to snack on... or throw at him... or snack on while she threw at him. Popcorn. That's what was missing. She could be such a nuisance with popcorn... sneak an explosive in with some of the kernels...

Perhaps it was best they didn't have any.

Ty shrugged, settling more into the movie as the guy with the shotgun went to town on some poor zombie-guards. Then suddenly...he was out of shells. Just in time for the zombie-tiger to make his appearance and feast on the poor guy while the girl bolted, screaming her head off.

"Is it bad that I find myself rooting for the zombies?" Ty asked, as he rubbed her shoulder a little, arm wrapped around her still.

By now there were only three teenagers left, and the zoo seemed inescapable. But right now, it was quiet, so Ty nuzzled into Tses as the three remaining managed to reunite in the reptile house and map out a plan.

"Oh sure, do that around the snakes and lizards...watch like, one of them come out and eat somebody's face," Ty murmured, then smirked as screams echoed on the screen. "Called it!"

Tses chuckled as Ty started predicting the rest of the movie. Since she hadn't watched much television, or seen many movies, she wasn't as good at this game. She just listened to the foreboding music and tried to predict where things were going to jump out from. For the most part, she could guess right. Well, Ty was in her ear predicting as well, and he seemed to know more about zombie movies than her. Or maybe it was just horror movies. She really needed to watch more horror to really know if this was predictable or not.

"We should watch these movies more often. Maybe then I'll be able to predict stuff. I think I've only seen maybe... 5 movies... and one of those was a cartoon. Broke into a mall and watched movies in an electronic store one winter. Weather was bad outside so I was hanging out." She remarked, and laughed at a particularly gruesome scene.

"Ok, that was just bad. There isn't a blood vessel there big enough to spurt that much blood..." She said as the bloody spray filled the screen. She rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, I should get you a TV and stuff. Actually...Butterfly's old place has this stash of stuff, if you wanna go loot it one day," he murmured, shaking his head at the horribly bloody part.

So, there were two left, and they were running from the scene, managing to lock themselves away in a staff break-room. The blond and some guy were surveying their surroundings when the guy blockaded the door to keep the zombies out.

"Whoa! Didn't see that one coming...." Ty murmured as a very...unpredictable scene started going down. Suddenly, a zombie-monkey dropped through the roof, thankfully ending the awkward moment there.

Now cue the couple fleeing for the zoo's exit, on the run from the monkey, who had been joined by two more, and the tiger. The girl had grabbed the guy's jacket, and in an act of bravery, sacrifices himself so she can get away.

In the end, the blond girl was the only survivor, and recovered after therapy. Years later, she drove by a similar zoo, and the zebra's eyes glowed red.

Ty snorted as the credits started rolling, still somewhat stuck on one certain scene. "So....now what?"

Tses nodded, and watched the dismantlement a few zombies were intensely engaging in. "I really need something at my place, especially with the New Moon coming up again. I don't like going places with my powers all half-ass, and a t.v. would at least be entertaining. We should see what we can find." Tses suggested. If they couldn't find something she could probably pilfer a t.v. on her own, but she was trying to do things the legal way... when she could, that is.

As the couple locked themselves into the staff break room, Tses coughed slightly, looking away from the screen, then back again, and wished with every little fiber in her being for something to attack. Thankfully, fate gave her the zombie monkey, and that ended it. The couples looked like it may escape safely, but then the guy sacrifices himself in a very fitting valentine's brave moment, then the girl escapes and the rest was, well, cheesy but amusing she guessed. As the credits appeared, magical words on a black background rising against gravity towards the ceiling (ok, maybe nothing that exciting. Words on a screen. Whatever), she turned to Ty. "Now we get out of here before you get any ideas." She said, sticking her tongue out at him and standing up. "You hungry?"

Ty nodded, adding that to their to-do list. Maybe not today, but...eventually, right? He noticed her behavior during the certain scene, but hey it could have been alot worse.

Standing up, he smiled a goofy grin. "Oh, that didn't do anything new," he teased lightly, sticking his tongue out right back. "Actually, I am a little hungry, now that you mention it. Anything in particular you in the mood for?" he asked, offering his right hand to her as he started out of the theater.

As Tses took Ty's had, she was once more surprised by how familiar it felt now. Before when they held hands it always seemed to be something that just sort of...happened. They were running through the streets, or trying not to get lost. Now, it felt more like a connection they just wanted to have. It was that contact that reminded her she wasn't alone anymore, not really. Not like she had been. If only days like this could just... stay this way. But with their luck, somewhere down the road things were bound to blow up in their faces.

Guess that's what happens when you're a mutants who can make moonlight explosive.

Leaving the theater, Tses felt her face pull into a thoughtful expression as she tried to think of something to eat. New York was full of dining, but it would be hard to avoid the crowds today. "I don't know what the proper dinner to follow a horror movie would be. Certainly not something classy, unless it's like four star and everyone is in formal dresses and we're just... us." She laughed at the image, and shrugged. "Then again, maybe one of these days I'll let you see me in the dress I have. Chloe talked me into showing it to her while you were gone..." She said, and watched for his reaction.

Ty gave a hearty laugh. "That would be fun, though I'd bet anything we couldn't get in looking like...us." The redhead shook his head a little, leading her through the rest of the mall. "That would be interesting, though I'm sure you'd look good in it."

Then he had a thought that made him scrunch his face a little. "Wait...would me seeing you in a dress mean you'd wanna see me in a....suit and tie?" He visibly shuddered; he couldn't stand dressing like that. "Oh well, fair's fair. As far as lunch, how's pizza sound? I really hadn't planned much past the movie, so...now we're just wingin' it." He shot her a goofy grin.

His question was certainly worth considering. If she was in a dress, a tux would seem natural for him. Or, she assumed so. She really wasn't up to date on formal attire, and the only person who seemed to know that stuff was Chrys, and she avoided bringing it up around the girl. If she so much as said 'dress', she'd probably find herself stuffed into a girly outfit complete with tiara and dragged off to who knows where. No, keeping thoughts like that to herself for the time being would be much safer.

"Pizza sounds fine. And I think we'll just skip the formal dress. I've had to play dress up one too many times and I am not looking forward to ever doing it again. I don't see how girls dress nice all the time. It's awful business." She shuddered slightly, her thoughts drifting back to when Butterfly and her were looking for Ty. The two girls had some time together, but it was tainting by the pain they'd felt. Her hand shook slightly as her mind flickered back to it, then she pushed the thoughts aside. "Know any good pizza places around here?" She asked quickly, trying to get back to a more uplifting conversation.

"Pizza it is then," he replied with a smile after she spoke, he could tell the conversation was sending her thoughts...somewhere. He just knew she didn't seem to want them there. "Any idea what you'd want on yours? I'm thinking we can maybe split a whole one, maybe give you some leftovers to eat on for a few days."

He shot her a grin as they neared the food court, and luckily enough, they found a little pizza place, some family-run booth, it seemed. But nice enough. As they approached the counter, Ty looked at her. "Meat lover's sound good to you? Because I'd eat anything on pizza."

Tses nodded, and gave a little smile. "Yeah, that's fine. I've never been a picky eater. I think you learn to eat anything on the streets. More toppings the better." She said, and she breathed the smell of the food court in. Last time she'd been here a kid had spilled chilli on her. Thankfully, there didn't seem to be any stray children running around and endangering her clothes... this time.

"What's your favorite food?" Tses said suddenly, looking at him. "Or do you have one? I've always like Chinese food; one of these days I wanna go to one of those places where they cook the noodles in front of you. They had one in Chicago but I never got a chance to go there. We should see if New York has one someday. Add it to our to-do list." She was babbling a little, but her talking helped calm her a little. She hated when her thoughts drifted back to when he was missing. It stole some of the happiness of the moments they had now that he'd returned. She wondered if someday that sadness would finally go away. It seemed to burn inside her and she had trouble pushing past the prickles of pain in her heart. She had forgiven him, but that didn't mean she was one-hundred percent ok. She didn't know when she would be.

Ty nodded in agreement, squeezing her hand lovingly. "One large meat-lover's, two large drinks, oh, and an order of hot wings. And bread sticks" he ordered, paying the lady and moving over to wait for the food. The redhead had to smile more at her babbling. It was a new side of her.

"My favorite would have to be pizza. Or Mexican food...or Chinese...then again Italian kicks butt too...." He blushed a little. "Okay, so I love all food. Not that it really shows." He patted his belly, then paid the lady for his food, grabbing the box of pizza and carrying it to a table, then going back for the rest of the food, and their drinks. Sitting down at the table, he put some wings, breadsticks, and pizza on a plate and began to tear into his food in the manner he'd made himself so known for: relentlessly.

Tses laughed aloud at his list of 'favorite' foods. It must be a street kid thing. Food was just food. It was good in general. She took a large bite of her pizza and grinned at the delicious cheesy flavor that filled her mouth. "I keep my figure by my rooftop climbing. I bet you keep it running from dogs." She smirked with a little wink and laughed. "Just giving you a hard time. Honestly, the day I can't do a back flip then I'll start worrying about what I eat. But I have never had to really worry about being out of shape before. Too much running from the authorities. If the cop starts gaining on you, you know you've eaten too much."

She took one of the bread sticks, and chewed on the corner of it. There wasn't as much flavor in it, so she dipped it in some of the sauce that came with it and that definitely made the difference. The mall around them had the hum of conversation, and she could here the distant murmur in the breaks where Fish was too busy eating to talk. "Exploring is just part of me. If I couldn't scale a fire escape I would die of boredom. I don't think I'd ever really settle down for that reason. I just have to keep moving..."

Ty nodded in agreement while he was stuffing his face. "Yeah, that keeps me in shape too. Yeah, yeah, even the dogs. I can't turn a backflip, but the day the cops start gaining, or if I can't make it up a fire escape, or hell, if I feel the fire escape trying to break on me....then I'll start watching my diet. With what we do, being out of shape really isn't really an option. I know what you mean though...I mean, I'm glad I have you to spend moments of my life with, but...if all we did was lay around the house? I'd go crazy. With or without..."

He blushed, stuffing his face full of food and ignoring the rest of that thought. Maybe she wouldn't notice?

Unfortunately, Tses DID notice, and her face curled into an irritated little frown as she took a bite of pizza, and slowly chewed it. Her gaze on Ty was sharp and a bit intense, and she didn’t speak right away just to make him sweat. Off in the distance, a timer started to tick. Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick.

"Without. I think the appropriate phrase at this point in time is without." She said slowly, her voice low. She’d gone from a purring kitten to a territorial tiger all in one fell sweep. She kept eating purposefully, and watched him squirm a little with discomfort. That, and she waited for the tears. Ty had a way of getting sad when she lashed out at him, so she tried her best to keep her temper under control. She felt she was doing fairly well; she hadn’t thrown anything yet at least.
