For the next couple days Eddie was determined to do as much as he possibly could with Mia before they had to start work, he had taken her out to the dinner every night, taken her swimming in lovers lake, gone on late night drives with Metallica blasting, playing dnd with her and being awe struck when she turned out to be amazing, and taken her to starcourt shopping when ever she needed.
By the end of the week he was struggling for things to do, but as he drove past starcourt early after picking up breakfast he saw the big billboard outside, advertising all the new movies being played, and he caught look of the "dirty dancing" poster, Patrick Swayze dead centre. He knew she wouldn't want to miss an opportunity to drool over him so he sped back, a huge smile plastering his face as he got to the trailer, the bag of food in his hands.
As he walked in he saw her sat on the couch with his blanket wrapped around her, a beer in one hand,
"Fuck me, it's 10 am Princess... can you cut it out?" He groaned, snatching the can and emptying the remains down the sink, "I got us breakfast... pancakes... waffles... shit from the dinner ok?" He announced, waving his hands towards the kitchen table, slowly she dragged herself towards him, practically throwing herself next to the table.
"It smells good" she smiled up at him,
"Yeah..." he nodded, plating everything out in front of her, "so... have you got plans for today?" He asked once he had his food sorted and was sitting opposite her,
She shook her head "I don't think so... why?"
"Great! We are going on a date" he smirked, only looking up slightly at her, catching how a small smile crept onto her lips,
"Oh are we?"
"Yep. I'm taking you to the movies"
She chuckled "to watch what?"
"It's called dirty dancing"
"Oh my god! With Patrick Swayze?" She squealed, the blanket that lay on her shoulder instantly dropped,
"That would be correct" he nodded,
"Oh my god!! When are we leaving?"
"Whenever you want Princess"
She let off another high pitched squeal before she jolted up, shoving pieces of pancake down her throat before she jumped into his room, digging through her duffel bag to try and find a nice outfit. She ended up in a denim skirt, one of eddies band T-shirts, her dads flannel shirt and a pair of converse. She didn't do much to her hair, only fluffed it around a bit before she jumped back into the kitchen, hopping on Eddies back making him stumble as he tried to catch her,
"Woah calm down..." he chuckled, slowly bending backwards so he could drop her, he spun and took a step back, admiring her outfit "you look hot" he shook his head, hiding a smile,
"Well, I have to make an effort for my darling Patrick" she teased, leaning up to give him a kiss on the cheek "now, can we go?"
He rolled his eyes and smacked her head lightly, pushing her out the front door "come on then... geez"

"Can I get two tickets for Dirty Dancing please?" Eddie asked, elbows pressed against the ticket stand as he waited impatiently, dying to get into the heavily air conditioned room,
"Is that... two adult tickets?" The clerk asked
"Yeah whatever... just... two tickets" he groaned, holding a ten dollar bill out towards the register, getting it swapped with two tickets, "thank you..." he sighed, grabbing Mia's hand and pulling her towards the confection stand "popcorn?"
"Yeah... I'll pay, what do you want?" She smiled, only getting shoved behind the boy,
"Hi... uh... two popcorns and a strawberry-blue raspberry mix slurpie please" he smiled politely, and waited yet again impatiently to get served, quickly Eddie managed to swipe cash towards the woman, grabbing his stuff and turning on his heel, Mia following him closely into the room, she followed him until he took his seat at the very back right corner.
"Fuck it's so hot out there" he groaned, throwing his arms behind his head, the cropped vest top he wore rode up making her stare, "thank god they keep these rooms fucking air conditioned"
"Uh- yeah.. yeah"
"So, what do you think this will be about?" He sniffled, one of his arms landing conveniently over her shoulders
"Well dancing... I'd imagine..." she stated,
He let out a huff, getting himself comfortable just as the lights dimmed and the title screen popped up and the movie started.
"Wait wait, who's the killer again?" Eddie whispered, his head leaning against hers
"What?" She whispered back
"When are people going die!"
"No one is going to die Ed's... not every movie is a horror— wait have you only ever been to watch horrors?"
"Obviously... they are literally the only good movies around" he sighed, "where's the fun in watching a bunch of people grind and dance on each other when they could be brutally murdered!"
"Jesus Eddie!" She shook her head smacking his chest "but seriously the fun is watching him, dance and grind on people"
"That's just plain rude saying that to my face" he scoffed,
"Why's that Munson?" She turned slightly so she could look at him,
"You just told the the guy your on a date with you'd like Patrick Swayze to grind on you" he chuckled
"I never said that! Your twisting my words" she protested open mouthed,
He shrugged "I'm pretty sure I'm a better dancer than him"
"No way! You only dance when your drunk—"
A choir of "shhhh" erupted from around the two making them laugh and try to conceal giggles for the rest of the movie.

"Where to now princess?" Eddie sang, his arm draping over her shoulder as they walked back into the mall, the bright lights of Scoops Ahoy drawing her in,
"Ice cream!" She smiled, grabbing his hand from her shoulder and pulling him towards the store, they waited in line for ages before they came face to face with Steve, his posture straightening at the sight "hi Stevie!" She greeted, eyes darting to the array of flavours,
"Hey Mi... Munson" he lightly waved at the boy stood with his hands placed delicately on her waist as she kept searching "found what you want?"
"I'll have cookies and cream, please man" Eddie shot a small smile, making Steve nod and instantly start to sling,
"Yeah and can I get bubblegum with sprinkles, please?"
"Of course..." he replied,
"Where's Robin?"
"On her break... she went off with some friends again..."
"Oh..." she awkwardly looked around, one of her hands instinctively laced in Eddies which was sat on her stomach "got a girlfriend yet?"
"Still looking..." he shrugged, handing both of them their ice creams, he watched as the two fumbled around, fighting over who was going to pay "it's on me guys... my treat" he said, shoving some of his own cash into the register,
Mia smiled "thanks Harrington!"
"Don't worry about it... I'll see you around?"
"Yes! See you!" Mia waved, walking backwards from the counter, Eddie guiding her so she didn't fall.
"Urh... do you want to head to yours this time, love?" He smiled down at her, making her nod....
