Lana watches a movie

>"Hi Lincoln!"
>Lana beamed toothlessly at the white-haired older sibling
>"Hi Lana." Lincoln replied.
>Lincoln wasn't actually paying attention to his sister, but instead to a two-year-old back issue of Ace Savvy.
>Damn Hiatus.
>"Do you wanna watch a movie with me?"
>"I dunno, Lana, what about last time?"
>"But that was Lola's fault! She forgot to feed Charles, not me!"
>The couch still smelled of dog urine and baking soda.
>Lincoln finally decided to sit up.
>Lazy saturdays were common in the summer, but boy did they take forever.
>Movies, on the other hand, were nowhere near as interminable unless Leni picked them out.
>Besides, what movie could a six-year-old possibly have in mind?
>Some Pixar film? Another episode of Blue Earth?
>Lincoln's expectations were thoroughly dashed when he saw the hooded man and blue background on the cover of the DVD.
>"It's called Ghost Dog! It has that guy from Black Panther in it!"
>The only thing Lincoln recognized was the R-rating.
>"Lana, where'd you get this?"
>"I got it from the attic in a pile of Luna's old junk."
>"No, I mean where'd you get the idea that we could watch movies like this?"
>"Aw come on! Mom and Dad don't have to know! I wanna watch it reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal bad."
>Lana leaned into Lincoln's ear and whispered,
>"Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal bad."
>"Fine," Lincoln acquiesced, "but if we get in trouble, you're doing my chores".
>"Deal!"
>Lincoln was almost launched into the air by the force of the child slamming herself into the couch beside him.
>"Lana, you forgot to put the DVD into the player..."

>Later that evening, the last gasps of dusk concluded the two hour marathon of ultra-violence and RZA beats.
>Lincoln was impressed at how much he enjoyed the film.
>He looked sidelong at Lana, who had snuggled up beside him, her head in his lap
>Light snores indicated that Lana was asleep, and she was probably asleep well before the movie had hit its stride.
>It dawned on Lincoln that the movie didn't matter and any film would have done the trick.
>Lana just wanted to spend some time together with her older brother
