Okay, sure. Arden didn't know much more than what TV said about throwing movie nights, but surely she had the gist. Many ~~moddable~~ pizzas and sodas had been ordered from Pizza Planet - look, Arden loved sweet tea, but even she knew soda was necessary for movie nights. A truly disturbing number of bags of popcorn had been popped and put into bowls and a quick stop at T&C had been made to grab a couple of different popcorn seasonings in case people wanted to experiment with popcorn flavors.

All that was left was to wait for people to show up. She'd texted both Kamala and Cal in full capslock mode about the glory of this movie, and then had ~~handwavily~~ tried to contact as many other residents as possible to tell them about the movie night - texts, email, sign on the door, whatever. Sure, nobody had to come, but she at least wanted to make sure everyone knew they were welcome. She'd also invited Steven and Watts (while double checking that, yes, it really was okay to move furniture around the living room and also eat in there) and had made sure to get a few bags of unbuttered popcorn just for them. Did she think the butter flavoring had any actual dairy in it? No. But she was gonna be careful all the same.

Now she was just pushing the furniture around to make sure that every possible seat had a good view of the incredibly large TV and was in reaching distance of a bowl of popcorn and places to put their cups of soda and plates of pizza down. Midnight Movie Night was about to begin, showcasing the absolute work of art and cultural tour de force that 2 Fast and 2 Family 4 Oceans, the fifteenth 2 Fast 2 Family sequel that was also a prequel to the Oceans Edge series.

This was gonna be great.

"Oh sure," Kamala said with a little more emphasis on the 'sure' than she intended. "I mean, yeah, cool. If everyone else is okay with that."

"We'll have to make a list of things she's in to watch then," Arden said. "Just to get an idea."

Excellent, this house needed more disaster bisexuals. Especially since Cal was actually a useless lesbian and took away from the count.

"Oh, you don't have to do that on my account," Kamala said a little too quickly and put down her phone. "Everyone should have a turn picking out a movie they'd like to share."

"Which means that, at some point, it's your turn to pick, right?" Arden asked, because this just made sense and was also hilarious.

"Well, sure but who says I'm the next person to choose?" Kamala asked.

Enable yourself first, Arden! Stop enabling Kamala!

There was nothing to enable! Cal wasn't interested, either in romance in general or at least Arden in specifics, so she was just going to continue lusting after Dev Patel and the entire cast of the lady jewelry heist movie and call it good!

"I mean, I'm pretty sure it's 'whoever organizes the next movie night,'" Arden pointed out. "It could be you!"

“Okay, fine,” Kamala said with an eyeroll. “But I’m dipping into the Bollywood collection. I think Detective Watts would be happy with a musical.”

"Do you have any with Dev Patel?"

Important questions only.

"Don't worry, babe," Kamala said with a finger gun. "I got the perfect movie for you."
