You look ahead to see Violet walking alongside Rosie, AJ is across from you walking in pace, it's snowing just slightly, everyone seems quiet so you decide to say something

Y/N: So AJ, how many movies did we watch last night?

AJ: Umm... Like five of six?

Y/N: No, we watched four movies in total... Can you count up to four with your fingers

AJ: One umm and two... Thr-- and three... Then uh four

Y/N: Good job, kid... You're getting better

AJ: I liked them, all those movies!

Y/N: Which one was your favorite?

AJ: The Karate one

Y/N: The Karate Kid?

AJ: Yeah, it was so cool! He beat the bully so hard

Y/N: I know, sport...

AJ: Sport?

Y/N: Sorry, you've probably never been called that...

AJ: Movies are so fun!

Y/N: Yeah, I know... I've missed them for a long time

AJ: What was your favoritest?

Y/N: Hm, probably Red Dawn... That was a pretty interesting watch

AJ: They had to deal with people hurting them just like us... Are we like them?

Y/N: Us... We're more like The Goonies

AJ: Yeah, I liked them too

Y/N: Me too

AJ: I just didn't get one thing... Why was Edgar in the Goonies and Lost Boys

Y/N; You've got a lot of things to learn kid... He was just an actor who played in both films, it was a character

AJ: A character? So he wasn't real?

Y/N: The actor who played him was a real person... But the character wasn't real himself

AJ: Then why did they make it?

Y/N: To entertain us

AJ: Ohh

Y/N: I've still made you a promise... We'll watch Star Wars soon, just gotta find some VHS tapes or DVD's around here

AJ: Is it cool?

Y/N: Yeah the coolest

You look down at the bat in AJ's hands now

Y/N: Taking good care of that thing?

AJ: Yeah, it's mine now

Y/N: I know, just be careful with it though... I had that thing for a long time

AJ: Really? How long?

Y/N: It's older than you

AJ: What? Bats don't have ages silly

Y/N: I mean, I've owned that thing longer than you've been alive

AJ: That's a while... Urgh

He shakes a little shivering from the cold air

Y/N: Cold?

AJ: Yeah...
