Short Mission 14 (
Summary[]
Anya, Becky, Yor, and Martha go to the cinema
Becky and Martha make a surprise appearance at the Forger home, with the former inviting Anya to watch a movie together. Anya is excited to watch an action movie, but Becky instead wants to see Kiss Distance, the newest romance film starring Rachel, a Berlint in Love actress whom she is a fan of. Anya is unimpressed but is convinced to go learn about romance for the sake of Plan B. Becky invites Yor to come, and so the girls all head to the cinema to watch the movie.
The girls' reactions to Kiss Distance
The movie follows the story of a woman (played by Rachel) and a punk named Ricky. They initially dislike each other, but later grow feelings for one another and become a couple. While they are happy together, Ricky's beloved pompadour gets in the way when they try to kiss. Declaring that his love for his partner is stronger, Ricky undoes his hairstyle by splashing it with water. With nothing no longer between the couple, they engage in a long and passionate make-out session. As the scene plays, Yor is flustered, Anya is asleep, Becky is in tears, and Martha wears a deadpan look.
Yor and Martha share their opinions on being protectors in a relationship
After the movie, the girls discuss it outside. Anya, who fell asleep for most of the romantic scenes, is impressed with Ricky's cool scenes and dialogue as she mimics them. Meanwhile, Becky claims that kissing can solve anything, shocking Yor, who asks Martha if people normally kiss that much, but the older woman cannot comment due to her own lack of expertise on the topic. Becky is disappointed when Anya likes the idea of being the protector instead of the protected one in a relationship and asks for Yor's opinion to help her. Much to her frustration, however, Yor and Martha both agree that they would rather be protecting, leaving Becky with no one to have a normal girl talk with.
