Darcy had been antsy, spending so much time in the house just her Bruce and the baby had been so nice those first few months after she'd had Jacob. Not having to worry about interacting with other people while she was tired and sore and still figuring this baby thing out, but after a while she started to get a little stir crazy. Even the most introverted couples needed out now and then.
She'd pulled together everything she needed, a giant tarp that had been covering some furniture in the back room of one of the bigger stores was serving as their screen. It had to be at least twenty feet tall and twice as wide, plenty big enough for just about anyone in the park to see. The projector was set up and connected to her computer on a table far enough back that most people could in front of it, with an aisle blocked off in the middle of the field to make sure no one would accidentally step in front of the picture. Just behind the projector there was also a big bucket of popcorn she'd made with the supplies in the old theater and plenty of paper bags so people could take whatever they wanted back to their seats with them. She'd also gathered up a bunch of extra blankets and pillows just in case someone forgot or happened to wander up and want to join in.
She had Jacob strapped to her chest just because he was asleep and she couldn't stop fussing with things, checking and double checking that the movies were lined up and ready to go, making sure all the connections to the projector were secure and the cords weren't anywhere someone could trip. She wasn't sure why she wanted this to go right so badly, she was usually far more laid back, but she wanted it to be a good night. For the island as a whole and especially for the kids. So often the only events that pulled most of the island together were violent or scary or life threatening, so she hoped for a few nights people could all come together in one place for a good time instead.
