Chemical Bitterness: Chapter 7

Chapter 6

Location: Vladivostok, Primorsky Krai, Russia
Time: August 5, 2015. 09:50 A.M. (Vladivostok Time)

An epic movie was awaiting them.

"Hey mom! We're watching a movie, so we're coming home later than planned. Ok. I love you. Bye", said Ekaterina to her mom, with her mobile.

Elena laughed a bit hearing Ekaterina saying "I love you" to her mom, but stopped soon.

After a few minutes, they reached the theater.

"It's 200 Rubles per person", said a woman.

"200 Rubles?", thought Dmitry, "That's what I'm going to win later! Why should I spend this? I knew going outside was a bad idea!". Dmitry didn't like to spend his money, especially now, because the price of the money was equal to what (he thought) he was going to win. So he asked Ekaterina a higher prize for winning that seemingly impossible challenge.

"Since we're all spending 200 Rubles, I want 400 Rubles if I win later, ok?", said Dmitry, thinking he was sly.

"That's not a problem, but if you lose, you'll have to give me 200 Rubles!", said Ekaterina. She's not the one who can fall in tricks easily, and since there was a high chance that he would lose, that would mean more money to her. She was the sly one, but it was just because Dmitry started to be so.

Dmitry was actually undecided: he didn't know if he was actually going to win or going to lose like the day before, he eventually accepted that, thinking that 400 Rubles are better than 200, without even considering the fact that he would likely lose.

"Challenge accepted!", said Dmitry, proudly. Their friends didn't know what they were talking about, so they guessed it was about Call Of Duty, and they were wrong.

"You're really going to give him 400 Rubles if he beats you at Call Of Duty? Lucky him!", said Sergei, hinting that he wanted the money, too.

"Uhm, well, actually...", Dmitry was starting to find an excuse, but Ekaterina stopped him, saying: "Of course! If he beats me at Call Of Duty, he'll get the money!".

"And if I beat you? What happens?", said Sergei.

At this point, Ekaterina didn't know what to reply, because it wasn't true. The "game" she and Dmitry were going to play wasn't even a videogame, and she couldn't just tell him the truth. She then replied: "If you beat me at Call Of Duty, I'll give you a hug!", hoping that it would make him happy.

"How come? He gets the money, and I just get a hug?", complained Sergei. Sure, a hug was nice, but money was better. Ekaterina eventually gave up, and said: "Ok, 200 Rubles for him and 200 for you!"

"That's not fair!", complained Dmitry
"Don't worry, I'll explain you later", commented Ekaterina
"The film is about to start", said the staff woman, which was growing tired of seeing "kids" fighting for money.

They sat down in the chairs and waited for the movie to be projected.

"This will be one of the most stupid movies I've ever seen", whispered Elena

Ekaterina wasn't there, so her friends and Dmitry were getting worried.

"Pop Corn!", said Ekaterina, smiling.

She bought Pop Corn for everyone, she felt like she had to do such a kind thing.

She spent 300 Rubles for the six packets.

Everyone was already eating them before the movie was starting.

The movie started, and Elena rolled her eyes up, because she was already thinking she wouldn't like that, and she thought every animated 3D movie was for kids.

The movie was actually quite funny, and there was a lot of sense of humor. Definitely not for kids only, just for everyone who wanted to relax.

They exited the theater. Elena quite liked the jokes, but she didn't want to admit. She didn't like the "animated" style, though. She thought that was a thing for toddlers, even.

"Did you like the movie?", asked Ekaterina, smiling, and still laughing a bit from some jokes the characters said
"Definitely!", replied Sergei
"Yes, I did!", replied Igor
"It was funny!", said Nataliya
"I liked the movie, but not the fact I spent money!", said Dmitry, laughing a little
Ekaterina laughed back at his joke, and then said: "We all know it! And you, Elena? Did you like it?"
"Not at all! I knew it! It was a movie for kids! It wasn't serious, it didn't have a love story, they were just boring jokes", said Elena
"It's still a better love story than Twilight!", said Dmitry, referring to a sentence he often read on the Internet years ago. Nobody laughed, it was too old.

"Hey Ekaterina, I was joking before, I don't want your money, don't worry", admitted Sergei
"Great! So, see you later!", said Ekaterina to all of her friends

"It was a fun day!", said Ekaterina
"Will you still give me 400 Rubles if I win?", asked Dmitry, worried
"Of course!", replied Ekaterina, like it was nothing
"Now, let's go home! We'll have lunch in a few hours! Guess what I'm going to eat?", asked Ekaterina
"Beans?", tried Dmitry. He wasn't even thinking about he was in a public place. Luckily, not everyone linked beans with farts, especially in 2015. So he was safe.
"Maybe, I'll ask my mom to bake them instead of cooking them myself, and then I'll eat some fried eggs, I like them, what about you? What do you want to eat? You can ask my mom, don't worry", said Ekaterina
"That's nice! I'm really craving a Lymonnyk right now! Do you have them?", asked Dmitry
"Yes, we have some! Well then, you'll eat Lymonnyk!", said Ekaterina, blinking
"I want a Pirozhki, too!", said Dmitry
"I'll eat that, too! A Pirozhki stuffed with beans!", said Ekaterina, giggling
"What!? Are you really going to do that?", asked Dmitry
"Of course! You'll see it!", said Ekaterina. It was sure, she really meant it

They returned to their home at 11:57 A.M. They usually have lunch at around 1:00 P.M.

"Hi mom!", said Ekaterina, running to her with her arms wide open to give her a big hug
She hugged her for about 40 seconds and then said: "I want to eat baked beans and fried eggs today! And Dmitry wants a Lymonnyk and a Pirozhki. I'll eat a Pirozhki too! But I'll stuff it with beans!"

"Be careful about beans, honey, they'll make you fart", said Anna (Ekaterina's mom), joking, thinking it was funny. She didn't know at all what she and Dmitry were going to do, so Ekaterina giggled.

"I just want them with rice and cheese inside", said Dmitry

"I'll start cooking later", said Anna, smiling

Ekaterina and Dmitry went to her bedroom, relaxing their legs a little from all of that walking.

"When will your dad lunch with us?", asked Dmitry
"He'll come here Saturday! Now he's busy with work!", replied Ekaterina
"Nevermind", said Dmitry, then he totally changed the topic: "If I lose, I'll have to give you 200 Rubles, right?"
"That's it", replied Ekaterina
"And if I win, you'll give me 400 Rubles?", asked Dmitry
"Yes", replied Ekaterina, smiling
"That's right, but as I said yesterday, I'll only put my head on your legs and I'll have to last one minute!", said Dmitry, feeling like he was going to win this way Ekaterina didn't think the same way, and replied: "Agreed, as you saw yesterday, you can't still win that way!"
"We'll see!", said Dmitry.

They kept chatting about that and then the lunch was ready.
Anna satisfied their requests, and they were both very happy.
Ekaterina started eating the beans, watching Dmitry as if she already won.
After a plate of beans, Ekaterina ate a fried egg, and she wondered if her farts would get stinkier if she added eggs to her "diet". After the fried egg, he continued eating beans, and then a fried egg again, and then beans, and then the last (third) fried egg. She then ate her coup de grace, one Pirozhki filled with beans. Dmitry ate what he asked, too.

After happily eating their lunch, Ekaterina hugged her mom for about 30 seconds and then followed Dmitry into her room.

"Now, let's play PacMan, and when I'll start having farts, we'll start to play that game again!", said Ekaterina.

Of course, it had to take some time for the bacteria to ferment the food and produce stinky sulphuric gases, it wasn't an immediate thing. But Ekaterina was glad Dmitry couldn't beat her in both Tetris and enduring her farts, she was too much for him. Probably he couldn't even beat her at PacMan, she was amazingly great playing videogames.

Ekaterina started playing PacMan. The character started eating those little dots, and Ekaterina was skilled enough to avoid those four "monsters" and eating them back after eating a large dot. She was at 10,000 points already, and she gained an additional life, without losing even once. She quickly finished Level 1 and 2, and she still hadn't lost. She made 30,000 points, gaining another life, but she was unlucky, and two monsters trapped her in a corner and made her lose one life. She reached level 5, but she had only one life left. Three monsters trapped her right before she was gaining another life, and lost at 49,980 points.

"Now it's your turn", said Ekaterina

Dmitry started playing, and lost a live when he made 2,400 points. He ate the monsters and made 5,000 points. Then he lost another live. Only one life had left. He gained another life because he reached 10,000 points, but quickly lost it. He made it to the second level, but was quickly defeated. His score was 11,200 points. Ekaterina beat him even this time. She was feeling gassy, then she remember the "game". She could feel the eggs fermenting in her stomach, and that wasn't a good sign for Dmitry's nose, she thought.
Now, she was going to make him regret thinking he could do such a thing, and she wanted to show him there was no way to be able to willingly smell her farts. The amount of smell created by her farts was great, and being relatively near her ass meant that the gas would be thick in that zone, and that was exactly what Dmitry was going to inhale.
"Poor Dmitry, he doesn't know what kind of gas the eggs and beans together give me, well, he's going to find out, and he's not going to like it", though Ekaterina, giggling in her head.

"Don't you want to play the game we played yesterday?", asked Ekaterina
"Do you mean Tetris?", asked Dmitry, even though he knew what they were going to do, he needed to be sure.
"Nyet! I mean you smelling my gas", said Ekaterina, smiling and giggling.
"Of course I do!", replied Dmitry.
"Well then, I have one fart coming, won't you put your head on my legs?", asked Ekaterina
Dmitry didn't reply, and put his head on her legs.
Ekaterina was about to release one cute but stinky fart, wondering if Dmitry would take it. Everything could happen.

What will the outcome of the battle be? Who will win?
