30. Acting like people in an action film when left alone in the cinema

It happens very occasionally you walk into a cinema screen and look around to find it empty. As me and my Best Friend go to the cinema fairly regularly we have done this a couple of times ususally some people walk in late. There is just something about that big empty room full of seats that makes you think, what is the stupidist thing I could do right now. One of the first thing that you do is go and touch the screen, did you know it has loads of tiny holes in? No? Well you do now.
Last year my Best Friend, Best Male Friend and I actually went to a film where it was just us for the entire thing, the film was average at best the funniest parts were in the adverts (the film was Fantastic Mr Fox) but the empty screen was glorious. We stroked the screen, touched the characters faces, walked on the seats from the back of the cinema to the front without touching the floor (we also raced while doing that), made shadow puppets on the screen, switched seats a number of times, lay in the isle, at one point my Best Friend took off her shoe and threw it in the air to see if we could see the shadow on the screen... we could. It was a beautiful moment.
That moment however happened in one of the small screens, the incident that made me smile yesterday (as this post is a day late) happened in a big screen. We walked in and there were already a couple of people (when I say couple I mean literally a couple boy and girl) sat near the back and we sat in our normal seats; nearish the front with the maximum leg room and a bar to rest your feet (I could go into more detail but most cinemas are different so if you dont understand I dont think it would help). My Little Sister and I embarrassed my Best Friend with our loud laughing as the film was brilliant (we went to see 'Tangled' incase you were wondering). When it finished the couple left quite quickly, the boy didn't look impressed, obviously he had been dragged there by his girlfriend. Thats when we realised we were left alone in the cinema, suddenly the bar became an obstacle we had to jump as quickly as possibly, preferably without our feet touching the floor. It was a mission only the best of the best could complete, set especially for our range of talent and skill. Basically we are the coolest kids around and that makes me very happy.
