With the excitement of premium still buzzing through our veins, Update and I decide to leave his apartment and head for the theatre. I order us a bucket of popcorn and a chocolate malt to share.

"Ah, there's nothing like watching a picture in technicolor," I smile in awe. 

"You got that right," Update says, his eyes affixed to the screen. "Speaking of which, premium users will now be able to unlock new themes in an array of colors."

"Ooh, like what?" I inquire.

"Colors ranging from the olive found in my famous martinis," he says with a wink, and then he takes a slight pause, "to that extraordinary turquoise hue found in your eyes."

Just when I think this world has dealt him one-too-many ice blows to the chest, Update knocks my expectations out of the park. Now it's me who freezes as he takes my face in his hands and stares into my eyes so intensely I feel like I might dissolve into the dark sticky theatre floor. As his lips close in, theirs suddenly a loud "snap!" And the screen goes blank.

A faint but harsh silhouette remains on screen. Before Update can speak her name, Veronica's shadow runs off the screen and the theatre door slams shut.

I turn to Update, who is grinning. "Everything's alright?" I ask, concerned.

"Looks Like our nemesis just found out about wattpad picks- a new category in discover of curated stories straight from the wattpad team," he gleams, and then adds, "available for everyone".

I take his hand in mine, "you've always got something up those sleeves of yours."

He shoots a sly smile my way and takes a sip from our melting chocolate malt.
