A/U: Vince just did Aquaman 2 and is now the talk of the town. Eric and Sloan have moved in together. Ari was never fired. Drama and Turtle haven't changed.

Chapter 1

"Lloyd," Ari yelled at the top of his lungs, as he tends to do so often. "Get Anderson on the phone!"

"I tried several times already, Ari." Lloyd said quietly over the intercom.

"Then, try again." Ari said, then remembering he hadn't insulted Lloyd yet, added, "What are you fresh-off-the-boat today, get the job done."

Lloyd sighed, and proceeded to call the writer that Ari requested.


Turtle sat down by the pool. "Hey, honey, how you doing?"

The bikini clad woman looked at his through her shades and made a slight smile at him.

"Want to go to a party tonight?" He said, flashing the tickets to Diddy's Annual All-White Party.

The woman pulled down her shades, "Sure."

Turtle smiled and handed her the tickets. "Remember all white, okay sweetheart." He said as he got up and walked over to the table that E, Drama, and Vince were seated.

"Finished all the tickets, Turtle." Vince asked.

"Yep!" He said sitting down, "This party is gonna be off the hook." He looked over at Drama. "What about you, Drama? Finished giving out your tickets?"

"I'm waiting to give them to that special one." He said, peering through his shades, checking out the bevy of woman around the pool. "You see, this is a sophisticated party, one of the highest caliber. The lady I bring with me has got to exude that same grandeur."

"So, you're main lady said no," Turtle laughed as the boys chimed in.

"I'll have you know, I didn't even invite her." Drama said. The boys all looked at each other sideways knowing that she had indeed turned him down.

Eric's phone rang. "It's Ari." He said, as he got up from his seat and went to talk elsewhere.

"Yeah, Ari," Eric answered.

"You, Vince, Me—five o' clock, Koi. I've got something for you." He hung up.

"What'd he say?" Vince Asked Eric.

"For you and I to meet him at Koi at 5."

"He got something for me?" Vince asked.

"He'd better."


"Cooper Anderson!" Ari said, threw his hands up in a showy way, and sat back to let Eric and Vince take it in.

"Who?!" They both asked.

"Cooper Anderson, wants you Vince to do his next movie."

"And what is that?" Eric asked.

"A action/thriller set in the future, sort of Minority Report meets Grey's Anatomy. Watch this." Ari threw a DVD at them. "It's his first movie—Eyes of a God—rave reviews overseas. Now he wants to do American, and you're his top choice, Vinny."

"I've never heard of him Ari," Vince said.

"It was a foreign film. Scorsese wants to direct it, do what he did to 'Internal Affairs'"

"Is there a script," Eric asked.

"I just said Scorsese, and you want a script?" Ari glared at Eric.

"Yeah, I want to see a script Ari" Eric said, just as vehement as Ari.

"Vinny," Ari said, ignoring Eric, "What do you say?"

Vince turned to Eric, "What do you think?" Ari blew out a puff of air and threw his hands up in frustration.

"I think I need to see a script."

"I think you need to see a shrink, pizza boy," Ari said, getting irritated.

"I'm with E, Ari," Vince said. "I mean Scorsese is top notch, but I want to read a script."

Eric began to get up from the table, and Vince followed suit. "Call me when you have a script, Ari."
