"I have an old TV and VHS player with some movies."

"I don't even know that I've ever seen a VHS player."

Apollo grabbed his heart. "Ouch. You make me feel so old."

"What movies do you have?" She snuggled into the covers.

He walked to the closet by the door and opened it. Inside stood rows and rows of VHS tapes.

"What did you do, buy out a Blockbuster before it went out of business?"

"Oh, so you know what a Blockbuster store is but not a VHS?"

"I didn't say I didn't know what a VHS player was; I said I'd never seen one before. So what all do you have in there?"

"Well, I have horror flicks. And action flicks. And finally, classic bad sci-fi movies."

"Wow. No romantic comedies?"

He snorted. "Would you want to watch one if I did?"

"No."

They both laughed

"What's your favorite movie?"

"I'm partial to allyAn American Werewolf in London."

"A werewolf movie? Isn't that kind of like a doctor who only watches medical dramas?"

"It makes me laugh to see what people think we are like. What about you? What do you like?"

"Honestly?"

"Of course."

"I like horror movies as well. Especially zombies and vampires. Or anything with Vincent Price in it. He, Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing are classic."

His eyebrows raised. "I love Vincent Prince movies. What's your favorite?"

"'Fall of the House of Usher,' and some of the Edgar Alan Poe ones. Oh! And there is this one movie where Vincent Prince has a daughter with poisoned blood because he doesn't want her to leave him."

"Twice Told Tales! That's a good one. I'm partial to The Raven."

She chuckled. "That's one's goofy. Like Comedy of Terrors."

"Love that one too."

"Do you have them?"

He smiled. "Of course."

River nodded. "Okay, let's watch them."

He cocked an eyebrow at her.

She shrugged. "You have somewhere else you'd rather be?"
