Approaching the theater, Sylvia and Bella found themselves giggling like school girls. It was strange for the pair, their hormones and emotions adjusting to their youthened bodies. Glancing up at the marquee, Sylvia rubbed her chin as they tried to decide what to watch. "Guess R rated is out of the question," she mumbled.
"At least we can catch a PG-13 movie," Bella added hopefully. "Still old enough for that." Sylvia grinned, PG-13 would have to do for now. As she studied the movies available, she gasped as she saw a familiar title. "Top Gun I love that movie!"
"Its the sequel actually," Bella stated. Sylvia's jaw dropped, she hadn't realized they made a sequel to a movie from her youth that was nearly 40 years old. "Seriously," she gasped. "A sequel?! When did that come out?"
"Last summer," Bella stated. "They're just reshowing it because it was nominated for an Oscar."
"Are you telling me Top Gun got nominated for an Oscar?"
"Yeah surprised me too," Bella shrugged. "But it's a fun movie. You want to watch it?"
"You get the tickets I'll get the popcorn," Sylvia smirked.
Ten minutes later, the newly minted teens found themselves inside the darkened theater. Loaded down with popcorn, sodas, and snacks the teens found themselves giggling and chatting as the previews began to play. Sylvia for her part now bombarding Bella with questions about recent movies. "Wait so most movies now revolve around superheroes?"
"Pretty much," Bella shrugged, shoveling a handful of popcorn into her mouth. "I mean they're fun but kind of formulaic at this point."
"I'll have to catch up," Sylvia said softly. "Although I can't believe how much all of this cost. Also, I miss the kind of teen movies from the 80s. Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Say Anything. Most of the stuff out right now seemed kind of...I don't know...meh."
"Hey keep it down you two."
Bella and Sylvia paused, glancing down at a middle aged man. The theater for the most part was empty save this one guy who obviously didn't want to hear two teenage girls talking throughout the film. Sylvia though, wasn't a fan of the rude outburst, the ghost frowning before an impish smirk spread across her face. "Watch this," she whispered.
Bella now watched anxiously as Sylvia began to concentrate. As the ghosts eyes began to glow, the teenage succubus watched intently as the man's soda now exploded all over him. Sputtering he now stood up, grumbling as he now exited the theater to clean himself. "That'll teach him," Sylvia grinned.
Bella stifled a laugh, shyly glancing at the teenage ghost. It was so strange for the succubus, her emotions having reverted back to the shy, awkward teenage girl she had been so many years ago. Brushing her hair behind her ear, she cast her date a shy smile as she took a sip from her soda.
"Hey Bella," Sylvia asked quietly. "Are you feeling as weird as I am?"
Bella paused before nodding, the butterflies in her stomach were both exilerating and nauseating. "Yeah," she replied. "Its crazy, I feel like.."
"I'm on a first date," Sylvia finished. Bella nodded, the two girls blushing crimson once more. "This magic is something else huh," Bella stated. "Was your magic like this?"
"Mine was a bit different," Sylvia answered. "Not that I'm not having fun but it's just so weird feeling like a teenage girl again."
"Know that feeling," Bella grumbled. "Did I tell you about how shy I was as a teen? I never even went on a date when I was 16. Even though I'm a succubus. Guys and girls asked but...I just never felt pretty or confident."
"I don't know why," Sylvia replied. "I think you're cute. Any reason for that?"
"Probably my folks," Bella sighed. "Mom was human but dad was a demon. Dad was weird in some ways. Big, scary demon that tortured evil souls and here he was so awkward when talking with mom."
"Really," Sylvia said, intrigued by Bella's history. "And what was your mom like?"
"Actually she was super shy and kind of mousy looking," Bella laughed. "But Dad fell in love with her immediately. She summoned him accidentally, I guess mom was trying to summon a vengeance demon because she was bullied in high school. Instead she summoned Dad, when he saw her he was immediately taken by her. I guess Mom was a pure, if not tortured soul."
"Thats kind of cute," Sylvia chuckled. "And when they got together, you were born."
"Yeah but it made for a socially awkward succubus" Bella laughed. "Which was really hard to explain. Mom was never a classic beauty and Dad...well he's a vengeance demon so you know he's not winning any beauty pageants. Then they had me and both of then fawned over their beautiful succubus daughter."
"Well you are a beauty."
"Never felt like it," Bella shrugged. "Especially as a teen. I was too tall, too skinny. Actually knew a couple of succubi in high school. Always thought they were way cuter than me. Guess that's what happens when you have a pair of introverted and socially awkward parents."
Sylvia paused, gently taking Bellas hand as she gazed into the willowy teens eyes. "Bella," she said softly, her throat growing bone dry. "I'm going to kiss you now." She now laughed at the ridiculousness of her statement. "And that sounded way cooler in my head but..I think you're beautiful. I only wish we had known eachother sooner."
Bella nodded, the pair awkwardly approaching as they began to kiss eachother deeply. It was odd for the pair, their teenage emotions and a creeping immaturity making their make-up session rather awkward. Their tongues exploring eachothers mouths in a rather rough manner, the way someone would the first time they ever tried to French kiss someone. It was embarrassing, thrilling, and every motion in between. An awkward, yet innocent kiss between an inexperienced couple. As the pair separated, they sighed, blushing crimson as their averted eye contact.
"That spell really did a number on us huh," Sylvia giggled.
"Yeah," Bella replied sheepishly. "But in a good way. I..um...kind of like this feeling. It feels like a first love."
"Was thinking the same thing," Sylvia smiled. The couple now giggling nervously as they cuddled next to one another to enjoy their date.
