Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 20:41:30 -0400 From: Barry Gold Subject: Last Night Sarah and Allison Last Night The newspaper article Sarah was looking at was interesting: The End of an Era By Willy B The Star-Lite Drive-Inn announces that they will close after Friday's shows. A fixture in town for more than 30 years, the Star-Lite is the only remaining drive-in movie theatre. The first drive-in theatre was invented by Richard M. Hollingshead in Camden, New Jersey, in the early 1930's. He started by nailing a sheet on some trees in his backyard and mounting a projector on the hood of his car. He used a radio behind the sheet for sound. Growth was slow through the war years. By 1948, there were 820 drive-ins spread across the country. To introduce this new concept, drive-in owners would host an 'open-house' during the day to show people what to expect. They would show the future customers how to park, how the sound system worked, and what food was available at the concession stand. Sometimes, as many as 400 cars would show up for 'open-house'. By 1958, there was close to 5,000 drive-ins. In the same decade, 5,000 indoor theatres closed. One of the largest drive-ins was the All-Weather Drive-In, Copiague, New York. It had parking for 2,500 cars, covering 28 acres. It had a 1,200 seat indoor viewing area that was heated and air-conditioned. There was a playground, a cafeteria, and a restaurant with full dinners. One of the smallest was the Harmony Drive-in, Harmony, Pennsylvania, with space for only 50 cars. Theatres would open early to allow customers to bring their kids. They started serving a wider variety of dinners. A few owners even allowed customers to order from their car and have a car hop deliver. Owners showed trailers between films to give people more time to visit the concession stand. The 1960's and 1970's were an era of stagnation. Many theatres took out playground equipment as fewer families were coming out. The drive-in audience became older as movies targeted teens and adults. In the 1980's, VCR's and cable TV among other things caused a precipitous drop in drive-in attendance. If Hollywood is coming right into our homes, why go out? Drive-in numbers stabilize in the 1990's. Some reopen and some are built new. Some now have multiple screens. A drive-in in Florida has 13 screens. Owners report closing their gates because they've run out of space to park. It seems that a new generation has discovered the drive-in. The bill for the final show is 'Finding Nemo', 'The Last Picture Show', and 'Texas Cheerleader/Nurses'. 'Finding Nemo' will start on the small screen by the playground at 5:30 pm. 'The Last Picture Show', featuring Cybill Shepherd and Jeff Bridges, will start at 8:00 pm. 'Texas Cheerleader/Nurses' will start at 11:00 pm. Ben Johnson and Cloris Leachman won "Best Supporting" Oscars for their roles in 'The Last Picture Show'. The movie garnered six other nominations, including "Best Picture." An era comes to an end. Sarah pointed out the article to Allison, "This sounds like a kick. Want to go?" "That's after curfew. You think the 'rents will agree?" "Won't know if we don't ask. Have to ask about driving too." Sarah had recently gotten her driver's license. Her 16th birthday present was a car. Granted, it was an older car, but it ran well and got good gas mileage. She was not allowed to drive at night or on the highways yet, unless one of her parents was with her. Added to Sarah's household chores was checking the oil, battery, radiator, and tires on her car twice a week or more. She took a 'Car Maintenance for Dummies' course on a Saturday morning to learn how to check them properly. She had to keep a log of the hours of nighttime and highway driving she did with her parents. They required 40 hours of both before they would let her go by herself. Sarah and Allison showed Sarah's mom the newspaper article. "We thought it would be interesting to be a part of history. We know it's after curfew and would require nighttime and possibly highway driving." "Have you checked a map to find out if highway driving would be necessary? Ally, have you asked your mom?" "Not yet. We wanted to ask if there was a possibility of going." "Not yet. I will when I get home." "OK. Find out how to get there and let me know. I'll talk to your dad when he gets home. Ally, ask your mom and tell her I'll call her tomorrow." "Yes, mom...Dr. Black." Sarah looked at a map and found out that they could get to the theatre without highway driving. Her mom talked to Sarah's dad and Allison's mom. They agreed to let the girls go, as a special treat. The one proviso was that they drove straight there and straight back, no stops or side trips. When they got home from school Friday, Sarah and Allison packed a cooler. They put in some ice, and drinks, and sandwiches so they could minimize the number of trips to the snack bar. They grabbed a bag of chips and set off. Sarah and Allison made it to the theatre in good time, paid the admission, and parked near the back row. "Finding Nemo" had just started, so the girls wandered down towards the playground, exploring as they went. Some people were enjoying the sunshine until the next show started. Others were playing on the playground equipment. And there were a lot of families watching the movie. They sat in the back and tried to identify the voices. Sarah heard Ellen DeGeneres in Dory. Both girls almost rolled on the ground at Dory's antics. Allison heard Brad Garrett from 'Everybody Loves Raymond' in Bloat. They both recognized John Ratzenberger from "Cheers" in the Fish School at the same time. Both agreed that Dory's sunny disposition and short-term memory loss was the real star of the show. Allison wanted to stop in the 'Little Queen's Room' on the way back up to the car. Sarah got an ice cream cone from the snack bar while she waited. "Hey! How come you get a treat and I don't?" "Nobody said you couldn't, you goofball." "Am not." "Are too." "Maybe. But I'm your goofball." They went back into the snack bar and marveled at the menu. There were full dinners along with hot dogs, nachos, and other single items. You could sit inside and watch the movie while you ate. There were families in line, teenagers, young adults, and older ones too. Allison got her cone and they returned to the car. Clouds were rolling in as 'The Last Picture Show' started. A single rain drop landed on the shot of the Royal Theatre, broadcasting its current show "Spencer Tracy in Father of the Bride." More rain fell as you passed Alsup's City Cleaners, the Texas Moon Café, and the Texaco station. Allison pushed a towel into the space around the speaker so they wouldn't get wet and settled back to watch. A high school aged boy in a black pickup played with the choke and accelerator to keep the engine from stalling. The radio was blaring Hank Williams singing "Why Don't You Love Me (Like You Used to Do)". Up the street was another youth, sweeping the dust. After he gets in the truck, the driver turns his cap around backwards. Allison drew Sarah's head down to her lap. They discussed the movie as it unfolded. The soundtrack included some artists they'd never heard before. The scenes that garnered it an 'R' rating were a little tame by today's standards. Sarah thought it was possible that the movie would get a 'PG-13' rating if it was released today. Allison disagreed. She thought it would still get an 'R' rating. While they talked, Allison caressed Sarah's hair with one hand and pulled her T-shirt up with the other. This allowed her to fondle Sarah's breasts and even reach down, under the waistband of her shorts, to insert a finger in Sarah's pussy and rub her clit. Alternately caressing her breasts and pussy, Allison brought Sarah to the heights. Just before Sarah was going to cum, Allison bent down and kissed her. Sarah came, hard, screaming into Allison's mouth. She continued until Sarah grew still. Allison continued to watch the movie, the rain, and run her fingers through Sarah's hair until she woke up, "Welcome back, Little One." Sarah smiled, "Did I miss much of the movie?" "A couple of minutes. Nothing important. Raise your hips a bit, please." Sarah flexed and Allison pushed her shorts and panties down. Sarah finished taking them off and threw them in the back seat, her T-shirt was long enough to cover her from anyone walking by the car. "Now you," Sarah replied. Allison's shorts and panties joined Sarah's in the back seat. Sarah pushed Allison's T-shirt up and began suckling her nipples. One time she got a little energetic, eliciting an, "Ow, Runchkin." Sarah brought Allison to the brink and held her there until the credits began to run. Then she pulled Allison down into a kiss and pushed her over the peak. Allison shook and closed her eyes. When Allison's eyes opened again, Sarah asked, "Do you need to pee before the last movie starts?" Allison looked out at the rain, "No. I'm ok until we get home. You?" "I'm ok." Sarah sat up and they dug into the cooler. There was a soda each left, along with some chips and candy bars, which the girls split between them, leaving the cooler empty. They ate, watched the trailers and rain, and talked about the two movies they'd seen so far. They kissed and caressed, oblivious to the occasional person braving the rain. Sarah remembered something she'd read on the Internet: "Texas Cheerleader/Nurses" was one of those `B' movies popular in the `60's and `70's. Fast, cheap, and in-your-face they were a staple of the drive-in as the audience changed from family-oriented to teen and adult. A kind of soft-core porn, drive-ins could afford them when they couldn't afford to book first-run films. Sarah and Allison watched the opening credits which laid out the premise of the entire movie. The cheerleader squad of E.Z. Minor high School also volunteered as candy-stripers at Major-Minor Hospital. They loved to party, danger seemed to follow them everywhere, and they had an amazing penchant for losing all or part of their clothes at the blink of an eye. Sarah drew Allison down onto her lap. They laughed as the cheerleader/nurses romped partially clad through their adventures. They continued to kiss and caress. Each experienced several pleasant orgasms and another hard cum. When the movie ended, Allison sat up and rolled down the window so she could hang up the speaker. Sarah started the car and the windshield wipers. Knowing that they couldn't get out easily, Sarah and Allison melded into the exit lane and inched along with everyone else. Neither gave any thought to putting their shorts back on. When they got to the street, they turned towards home. They laughed and regaled each other with thoughts about the evening they just had. The rain ended just before they reached Sarah's house. They turned into the driveway, gathered up their clothes and cooler, and headed for the door. Neither cared that they were naked under their T-shirts. [top of page] Copyright 2004 Donal
