The Force is Strong with Them... (closed)

[The_J0k3R]

The release of Star Wars: Rogue One was basically the most important day of the year for me. Nevermind how shitty 2016 had been in terms of celebrity deaths, or war, or our new Pussy-Grabber-in-Chief; none of that mattered now as I stood in line for the midnight release of what was sure to be the greatest movie of the year.


Of course, I was standing there in full Jedi regalia, and I was hardly alone. I had definitely stuck out like a sore thumb as I had left my college dorm, but I really didn’t care. After all, I was never going to be one of the “cool kids.”


I had been supposed to meet up with some of my buddies from the university D&D club, but so far they were nowhere in sight. I idly wondered if they were dressed as Stormtroopers. There were a lot of those around. I bid my time people-watching. Some of the costumes were really great. I did my best to not let my stares linger on the girls, especially the few who were showing off some impressive cleavage in their costumes.


It was events like this that helped me remember I wasn’t really alone. It felt good to be around my people, “freaks and geeks” all of us…


I ran a hand through my long, wavy brown hair, and scratched at my beard in anticipation. It was almost time!

Holy fuck. I had been counting down to this night ever since they had given a definite release date and I was beyond excited. The girls in Sigma Kappa would never understand this craze about Star Wars and I had long ago learned that a person could not be both pretty and geeky.

And I was both.

No, I'm not conceited, I'm just being honest.

So, to hide the fact that I was in line with other Star Wars geeks, but I was hiding in Stormtroopers costume.

A costume that was hard to hide once it arrived just the week prior. I recognized a few people from school but still hid the fact that I was in costume. I didn't want word getting back to the sorority of what I was doing...

The line started to move and I moved along with it, trying not to bump into anyone...

Once the line started moving, I figured it was too late to find my friends, if they had even made it. They were Star Wars fans, of course, but they probably weren’t as dedicated as I was. I didn’t care. This movie was going to be awesome!


There was no wild stampede into the theatre or anything, but the tension and excitement in the air was palpable. I quickly found myself a seat and dug into my cloak for one of my kit-kat bars.


The theatre filled quickly, of course. It was a bit disconcerting when a lone stormtrooper sat down next to me. Even more disconcerting was the sweet, feminine scent that accompanied this particular fan! Shampoo? Perfume?


My heart skipped a beat. Had a girl sat next to me?

I removed the helmet of the costume and set it down on the floor under my seat. The theatre was already dimly lit and that was fine. I knew I wouldn't run into any friends.

Yes, I had long ago accepted the fact that I was a closet geek. And yet, even if had been found out, I wouldn't care.

I heard the crumbling of a candy wrapper and realized it was right next to me and looked over at the guy beside me. I wasn't shy about it and when our eyes met, I gave him a little wink before asking, "I can't believe it's almost time." I said and leaned back in the chair, waiting for it all to start.

The girl was talking to me. And she was gorgeous. “Me neither!” I blurted out, unable to tear my eyes away from her own, until she looked away. I reached into my cloak and produced another kit-kat.


“Uhh… want one?” I asked, before the theatre went dark and the screen lit up before us for the previews of coming attractions.


I wasn’t even sure if she had heard me. My obsession with all things Star Wars was rapidly being overshadowed by the presence of this gorgeous, Stormtrooper-clad vixen sitting unexpectedly next to me…

"Aww, thank you! I will never turn down chocolate!" I said as I took the kit kat just as the lights dimmed even more...

Holy God! The movie was everything I had expected it to be...but more! Once the credits started to roll, I stayed behind...you know, just in case..

Damn Marvel movies have ruined me.

But I noticed that I wasn't the only one staying behind, there were a few stragglers and that was when you could tell those are the die-hards! I was still riding on the hype of it all that once I stood up, I couldn't help but hug the guy next to me, "That was fucking insane!" I said, laughing happily and probably hopping where I stood.

 

[The_J0k3R]

The movie was amazing. I won’t sit here and spoil any of it for you, of course. But the last half hour was nothing short of orgasmic! Everything came together so well, and at the end of it I was in a state of shock and awe.


It was so good I had almost forgotten about the hot girl sitting to me!


Almost.


The hug she gave me brought me right back to the moment. “That was amazing!” I agreed, whole-heartedly. It was the middle of the night now, but I wasn’t tired at all. “I think I need to go watch A New Hope right now!”
