And then there's the delivery itself! And how very ironic .... as soon as I returned to the main page, I saw the view count and just had to laugh!

Sorry for the delay! I was having issues with the site!   Chapter 112: Night at the Movies   “SHE’S NINETEEN! DO you need to see her ID?” “Yes,” she said, “My apologies, but it is the theater’s policy to comply with the KIDS Safety Act of 2028, and we must verify the age of anyone who attends a film of PG13 and above films.” “Would my college ID work?” Carly asked the hologram. “Many times? Do you have one?” Carly moved forward toward the worker, and Beth found herself picking Carly up to allow her to reach her arm to a scanner the worker had. “Scan valid - thank you, Miss Slane. I will record your identity on file, and you shouldn’t be asked to show it again here.” Beth set her girlfriend on the ground and asked, “So, are we good now?” “Yes, please scan your phone here,” she presented a reader, which Beth waved her phone over. A ‘ding’ sounded. Three actual tickets printed out, and she had to smirk at the odd places that couldn’t seem to fully let go of their paper tickets! ‘I thought purchasing via the app would have spared Carly that embarrassment!’ “Shall we get some snacks first?” She asked as they walked in. “Maybe just a drink?” Carly said, “Honestly, I’m pretty full.” “Actually, speaking of liquids, let’s go take care of your bottom first,” Beth said quietly to her.  Carly blushed but nodded, “Yeah…”  Nikki followed closely behind as they walked into the women’s room. There were three changing tables along the wall, and all were occupied. Another woman was already waiting for the next table. She was holding a Little boy who was squirming in her arms. “Oh, Noers, we’re almost to the table, and we’ll get your poopy butt all sorted out.” Beth saw that the boy was probably about their age and seemed to have had at least some removal of teeth when he spit out the pacifier he was sucking on. She could tell he was getting ready to shout at her when he looked straight into Beth’s eyes. He looked at her as if she was familiar before wailing, “Jus’ whet me ‘o wome, pwease?!?” “Oh, not this nonsense again, Noers?” The woman bounced him up and down, shushing him. “It’s okay; we’ll get you back to your crib soon. We need to change your poopy pants first, though?” The pacifier was shoved back into his mouth and Beth noted that it must have been one of those horrible locking ones. Every part of Beth honestly wanted to do anything to help the Little escape… After all, she couldn’t remember it, but she knew this was her fate once upon a time! She turned and looked down at Carly and realized she was practically shaking. Acting instinctually, she picked her up and held her, even as the Little boy stared intently at her.  “New adoption?” A ‘mother’ asked as she cleaned up the table the woman was eyeing.  “Yeah, I just adopted my beautiful baby boy a few weeks ago from the Emerson adoption program!” She looked proud of this fact. “This is our first time trying to go out for a mommy and baby date?” “Aww,” the woman cooed, “Have to take advantage of time when you have it! What did you take the cutie to see?” “We just saw Tinker Tales! I think Noers loved it! He smiled so much during it, at least?” “I was just talking about taking my princess to see that, but we had to see Bungee Bears instead this time. I’ll have to make sure we see Tinker Tales, though!” Beth noticed the Little girl was now wearing just a t-shirt and her clean diaper and was currently sucking on a slobbery thumb.  Carly leaned into Beth more as the girl’s mommy took off with her, and the boy’s mom took over the changing table. Carly seemed red, trying her best not to look at anything but the changing table. She squeezed her reassuringly and whispered, “Are you okay?” Carly shook her head, “Just change me quickly?” One of the other stations became available, and the woman there said, “Wow, you have such a pretty baby sister!” “Thanks,” Beth said, choosing not to cause a scene and correct her. “And what an amazing thing to have a daughter willing to help out?” The woman said to Nikki, who she had barely noticed standing beside her. “They’re joined at the hip,” Nikki said lightly. Beth moved to the table and sat Carly on it for the moment on her butt while she pulled the diaper changing pad, a diaper, and wipes out of her bag. She didn’t delay changing her, but she was probably a little rougher with the wipes than she needed to be since she noticed Carly still seemed off about that boy.  The new diaper was fastened on her waist, and Beth pulled the jeans back up. They stopped by the sinks to wash their hands before they headed to the concession counter. She had begun moving to put Carly back down, but she clung to her neck and held her. “What’s wrong?” Beth asked her. “I knew him,” Carly said softly as they waited in line. “Oh…” She said, “From where?” “He was in my exchange group.” “I’m sorry, Carly,” she said.   I LOOKED UP at Beth and shrugged, “He brought it on himself, but it’s still horrible to see?” She nodded back at me, “Yes, it is.” “You can put me down if you don’t want to hold me?” I told her, feeling a bit guilty then. “Why? You’re not that heavy?” I leaned into her again, and Beth smiled and whispered, “We can’t make out, but it feels like we can still do something intimate this way?” I blushed but nodded. Beth held me with her hand under my rear, on her hip to the front of the line. To my surprise, they had programmed their HoloWorkers to look like the teenagers who had worked at the stands back home. They looked and sounded real, but there were a couple of telltale signs I’d learned to see.  ‘They must have almost no labor costs now?’ I thought. ‘I wonder what high school kids do for jobs?’ “Well, hello there!” The chirpy projected girl said as Beth carried me to the front and sat me on the ground. “What can we get for you?” “A large popcorn, please, and three bottled waters?” Beth said. “Certainly! Would you like a Little-sized one for her?” “Just a kid-size if you have it?” Nikki said. I looked up at her in surprise at speaking for Beth and me, but a shake of her head told me there must have been a reason.  Beth finished the transaction, and we were handed our waters. Beth carried the popcorn, and we went to the correct theater. At the door, Beth had to show our tickets to another HoloWorker, this one made to look like an older retired guy. The bowtie he wore was quaint and an interesting detail! “Seats H14-16,’” he told us. He looked at Beth and me and added, “Put the Little one in the middle; the seat will adjust for her.” “What?” I said.  Beth put her hand on my back and said, “Thanks,” to the AI worker. She led the way to the seats, and I saw a fairly normal-looking set of reclining seats—at least until we closed in on them. All of a sudden, the middle seat transformed into what looked like an infant carrier, complete with a harness!  “What the hell?” Nikki said. I was glad she said it and not me, “You’ve got to be kidding me?” I said. Beth sighed, “Let me see if the app will let me change it?” I watched her fiddle for a moment before she shook her head. “You want to just sit with me? There’s plenty of room.” I looked up at her and shrugged, “Beats being latched into that?” She smiled. “Cuddle with me instead. It seems like a winner!” Beth said while sitting and putting the popcorn on a little attached table. “Are you okay with the empty seat?” Beth asked Nikki. “It’ll be fine,” Nikki told her. “I do need to check the popcorn and your drinks first, though,” she added. Beth sat down and pulled me beside her in the massive recliner-like seat. It dwarfed even her, so we had plenty of room to sit side-by-side. Instead, she sat me on her lap and hugged me. Nikki scanned the drinks and popcorn, “All safe,” she told us. “Enjoy the movie, you two,” she said with a wink, and I snuggled more into Beth’s warm body in the cold theater. “I like this sweater,” she said a second later, running her hand down the sleeve. I turned to look up, “I’m glad! I was worried about wearing something other than the uniform.” “I wouldn’t recommend that if we didn’t have Nikki or your Grandma with us,” she told me. Right then, she held a piece of popcorn to my mouth, and I took it, crunching down on it while admiring just how big the kernels popped in this dimension. We were waiting, and I saw the bowl-like depression in the center of the theater. The seats were stacked on even higher steps than I was used to, making it feel like we were in a rather large arena rather than a more gentle slope like I was used to back home in the theater. In the curved center, different product ads were running for local businesses. The character sizes were just over twice life-sized, which meant there was a lot of empty space above them in the theater.  “So I’ve got a question?” I said to Beth. “Yes?” “What do high school kids do for jobs here?” “What do you mean?” “Like, fast food is all run by AI HoloWorkers. This theater seems to only have HoloWorkers. I think most of those kinds of jobs here are all done by them?” “Why would that affect high school kids?” She asked me, handing me another couple of pieces of popcorn. “Those are the jobs they work?” “Huh,” she said. “Well, first off, most high school kids pretty much do school only. But, if they are doing work, it’s mostly babysitting?” “That’s not that much…?” I started to say, “Oh… yeah, lot’s more ‘babies’ to take care of. What about the boys?” “Some of them babysit too, actually?” “I’m kind of surprised by that?” I said. “Why? You don’t think boys can take care of kids?”  I shook my head, “No, it’s more not trusting them with them? Back home moms trust girls with babies, but rarely a neighborhood boy?” “I think the surveillance tech here probably helps?” She said. “Huh,” I said.  “I love how I learn about some other weird thing about your dimension every now and then.” I smirked at that, “Same?” Right then, the lights dimmed, and I watched the previously smaller-scaled projection increase to fill the entire floor-to-ceiling space of the theater as the previews for other movies started. Beth tensed beside me when it looked like a cartoon was coming on but relaxed when she realized it was just the intro screen to a film.  “Why’d you get nervous?” I whispered. “They probably wouldn’t have hypnosis in ads, but you never know?” I nodded. ‘Hopefully, Mom’s nanites are back actively blocking that stuff,’ I thought to myself before being sucked into the film, which finally began! The theater had been brought back to black before a brightly lit scene flashed into life, making me blink for a second as I tried to focus! The characters in the ads had been only about twenty feet tall before. Now, I felt as if I was actually staring at super-Amazon-sized characters projected in front of me. Even the few Little and baby characters in the film seemed like they were nearly the size of an Amazon in front of me! As explosions occurred, it felt like the fiery particles stopped millimeters from my eyes! The theater added heat in those situations and even changed the humidity to a super damp feeling at one point when they were in a swamp-like environment. I nearly swore as a water droplet fell from the sky in the film; I could feel one on my face, too! I looked up and couldn’t see anything while Beth squeezed me tighter and pulled me higher in her lap. I could feel her breasts behind me, making a pleasant pillow to lean against. Every now and then, she would rub her hand down my sweater.  It was truly a bizarre situation for a date!   BETH REALLY ENJOYED holding Carly like she was, even though her leg began going numb at one point. She shifted her and moved her up.  Her own sweater pushed its way up, exposing a little skin as she did, and she could feel Carly’s bottom against it.  Right then, she wrinkled her nose as she realized Carly’s bottom warmed—she’d just had an accident in her diaper. With a sigh, she pulled her tighter and wondered, ‘I wonder if she’ll ever regain control?’ She knew that Amanda had to be searching for a solution and guessed that Carly’s mom was probably at home trying to think of one, too.  Right as she was about to take another drink of her water bottle, she realized Carly hadn’t touched hers. She took her sip, then undid the cap on Carly’s. It was only then that she realized it had a sippy spout underneath the pop cap. Opening it with one hand, unnoticed by Carly, she examined it and held it to Carly. It was too large in her tiny hands, but she took a sip and then another before looking up and blushing, “Thanks…” Beth squeezed Carly in a hug, and they continued to watch the three-and-a-half-hour film, feeling the need to go pee herself! “I need to go to the bathroom,” she told Carly. She was a little surprised by the smirk on her face, “I guess I don’t have to leave for that now?” She shook her head, “Nope, I think you’ve already done that a few times.” “Probably,” Carly sighed. “Want me to come with you?” “I don’t want to interrupt?” Beth said. “I’m not stupid enough to think it’s a good idea to be alone in here, and I know Nikki is going with you. Let’s go now?” She nodded, picked her up, and stood. Nikki followed them out of the theater, “Everything okay?”  “Just need to pee,” she smiled. “Got it!” Nikki followed them to the nearby restroom, where Beth remembered she was still holding her girlfriend. “Here, hand her to me,” Nikki said with a smile. “Thanks!” Beth noticed that Carly’s face had turned red again, but she just hurried into the first empty stall she could, closed the door, and swiftly pulled down her pants. She was grateful to have made it, but she hated how bad movies made her need to pee! She hurried out after she wiped and washed her hands. “Do you need to go, Nikki?” she asked. “I’m good,” she said. I think Carly will make it until the end, too. Let’s get back to the movie.” Beth nodded, and they retook their seats after missing several minutes. Fortunately, it had been during a slow enough part that they were able to get sucked back into the movie again. Nikki had looked over their drinks and popcorn again with her little scanner without saying a word and merely nodded to Beth that it was safe. She noticed Carly never took her eyes off the movie! The movie’s final sequence saw a hurried group of heroes taking off to the alien ring and jumping through it to the other side while leaving the alien villains behind. Just after they came through, the gate on their side shut down, and a barrier went up to protect them all.  ‘Classic movie trope,’ Beth shook her head. ‘Not sure why we all enjoy this type of drivel, but this was a good one.’ As they left the theater, Beth held Carly’s backpack over the opposite side of her body from the one she had held her.  “That was sooooo awesome!” Carly exclaimed as they walked out. “The effects?!? The characters?!?”  Beth giggled at her excitement, “Glad you enjoyed it!”  “Thanks for the tickets,” Carly said with a smile. “Thanks for dinner earlier,” She responded. “Let’s get you into a dry diaper before we meet your grandma and head to her place!” They had just rounded the corner into the bathroom when Beth was all but knocked off her feet as someone tried to yank Carly’s backpack from her shoulder; even she felt soaked from a large drink being tossed onto her!   +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Thanks for reading!

Unfortunately, that’s essentially doubled my workload and probably quadrupled my stress. Hopefully, I get some motivation to write before I run out chapters in August at this rate.
