Day 1, 26. Feb. 2020: Favourite movie

"Guess what!" I literally screamed into the phone once my best friend Tamina finally picked up. All I heard from her side was a tired grumble and a yawn.

Without waiting for her response I answered my own question. "They're doing an anniversary screening of the dragons trilogy on February 26 an I was personally invited to join. And ..."

I waited a few seconds before I continued.

"And they said I'm allowed to bring anyone I want for free!"

There was a scream on the other side of the line, followed by rustling. I guess, Tamina was just getting out of bed.

'I'll be over in a few minutes.' was her only reaction and then I heard only the beeping of the finished call.

I slowly put the phone away and sat down in front of my desk. While waiting for Tamina, I once again read the e-mail on my computer screen.

There it was, black letters on a white surface:

Dear Luna,

to properly celebrate the 10 year anniversary of How to train your Dragon,

we're doing a special screening for owners of our premium membership.

All you have to do to receive your tickets is to answer the following question:

What movie out of the three is your favourite and why?

You have until Sunday, 02.05.2020, to submit your question.

And when you do so, tell us how many tickets you need for your loved ones.

Best wishes, the crew of cinema4u

A few minutes later the bell rang and I raced down the stairs to open the door. Tamina stood there, panting heavily and a little red in the face.

"You have to show me that message!" she demanded and hugged me. I hugged her back and then pulled her after me up the stairs and into my room.

"It's right there, on the screen."

I already knew how to answer the question. But I had to wait to write that mail so everyone could decide whether they would tag along or not.

Meanwhile Tamina had read the message and turned around to face me. "Luna, how come they asked you?"

I rolled my eyes and grinned. "Didn't you just read the message? It's right there! It's because I'm a premium member!"

"Sorry, still tired ..." She mumbled and walked towards my bed. "So, how are you going to answer that question? Seriously, I would have no idea, I love all three movies equally."

I smiled at her. "For a long time I felt the same." I started to explain.

"But last summer I realized that no matter how many movies, seasons and shorts they release, nothing will ever be better than the original movie. It was where the story began and if that hadn't happened, nothing else in the whole franchise would exist. It has the best plot, the most beautiful score and I love how young everyone is. Back when I saw the movie for the first time when I was 10 I became obsessed with the story. And now, more than eight years later, I still am."

Tamina now smiled too. "You know, I don't know any other person in real-life who's as much a dragons nerd as you are. And I love you for how passionate you are about things you love."
