Film, using his mouth to hold the pencil, writes on a stack of papers. He sits at his desk at the film studio. His desk is a mess of papers and books. He rewrites a line as the door is opened. He places the pencil into his hoof before speaking. "Come in why don't you," He then puts the pencil back into his mouth and keeps writing.
"With how loud the door is, I don't think I need to knock," Bold says with a smile. Film freezes up as his cheeks flush a bit. He clears his head as his cheeks return to normal. He places the pencil down and looks up at Bold standing at the foot of his desk.
"What are you here for?"
"What, a friend can't just come in and say hi?" Bold asks.
"Not when that friend is at work," Film replies.
"No, really," Bold defends himself. "I was walking by and wanted to see if you were in here. You were and I wanted to say hi,"
"MMhhhmm," Film looks at Bold suspiciously. Film crosses his arms over his chest as he leans back into his chair. "What do you want?" Bold smiles as Film stares him down with the most intimidating neutral stare. Bold's smile falters a bit as he looks awkwardly around the room. The dead silence causes Blood to slightly shift uncomfortably where he stands.
"Fine," Bold admits as his smile falls.
"That took longer than expected," Film smiles.
"I wanted to.. Wait, what did you just say?" Bold asks.
"Oh, I expected you to crack a little bit ago from the stare. I learned it from a friend, but don't mind that. Go on," Film says, waving his hoof to urge him on. He places his elbow on the desk before he leans his head against his hoof.
"Ok," Bold replies just a little more than confused at the explanation. "I wanted to ask if you were free after work tomorrow,"
"Ya, why?" Film replies as his eyes drift over Bold's slightly muscular body. His cheeks turn more than a bit red as he tries to hide it. Bold also has a bit of red in his cheeks as he completely diverts his eyes away from Film and instead looks at the clock on the wall as he scratches the back of his head.
"I was wondering if you would like to go to a stage play together," Bold asks, snapping Film's eyes back up to Bold's face.
"Why didn't you just ask?" Film asks, making Bold feel a bit better. "Of course I would like to go to a play," Film says, sitting up. Bold lets out a sigh of relief. "Would it be ok if I bring my brother so he can meet you?"
"Ya, I don't see why not," Bold replies.
"Ok, thanks. Now if you excuse me, I'm working on my next movie," Film says, grabbing the pencil with his hoof.
"Mind me asking what it's called?" Bold asks.
"Top Gun," Film says before causally putting the pencil in his mouth and starts writing again. Bold turns around with a questioning look on his face.
"Top Gun?"

Film walks into the apartment as the door closes behind him. He places his saddle bag on the ground by the door before stretching out his wings a bit.
"Fully Uncooked Claimed Karmel!" Acid yell in pain from the kitchen, causing Film to flinch a bit at the sudden outburst. Film quickly walks into the kitchen to see Acid sitting on the ground and holding his right hoof close to his chest while inspecting it.
"What the hay was that?" Film asks.
"Note to self, the plate is hot when microwaved," Acid says, shaking his hoof.
"Really?" Film chuckles as Acid stands up.
"I wasn't thinking," Acid replies before using his teeth to carefully pick the plate, that has a few slices of pizza, up before placing it back down on the counter.
"Not cooking tonight?" Film asks.
"I have an early cabinet meeting," Acid replies as he turns to face Film.
"Oh," Film replies as Acid grabs his plate with his magic before making his way into the living room. Film stands there as Acid passes him. Film takes a deep breath before walking over to the fridge and opening it. His eyes scan the very low remains of their food.
"We really need to go shopping soon," Film thinks as he grabs a container with pasta inside. He closes the fridge before making his way to the small microwave in the corner of the room. He places the container on the counter before grabbing a plat from the overhead cabinets. He places the plate down and scoops the pasta out with a fork he got from one of the drawers. He slides the plate into the microwave before turning the dial to five minutes and hitting start.
He turns and walks back to the fridge before opening it up. He grabs the last root beer soda can before closing the door. He walks out into the living room where Acid sits on the sofa eating his pizza. Film places the pop down on the table before opening it and taking a sip. He places it down again before looking over at Acid.
"Do you want to go to a play with me and Bold Action?" Film asks. Acid slightly choked on his pizza before swallowing it. He places the slice on the plate before puting the plate on the coffee table. He clears his voice before speaking.
"You mean the stunt stallion for Death Victres?" Acid asks.
"Y.." Film starts as it sinks into his skull. Once it hits him, he responds with, "How the Holy Ecter Lilith Lake did you know that?!" Film asks in great confusion.
"You're not the only one who reads movie magazines," Acid says with a smile before crossing his arms proudly across his ches as he leans back into the sofa.
"Ok," Film says in slight shock. "But yes, that Bold,"
"When is it?" Acid asks, going back to a more normal sitting position.
"Tomorrow night at seven," Film says as the microwave beeps at him.
"Oh.." Acid says as his smile falls away. Film turns and walks into the kitchen before Acid explans. "I have a date with Blood Moon at that time," Acid picks up his slice of pizza before going back to eating it. Film opens the microwave before pulling out his plate and setting it onto the counter. He closes the microwave door before picking up his plate and bringing it into the living room. He places the plate down on the coffee table and sits down next to Acid before picking up the plate again and digging in.
Film takes a gentle bit out of the pasta before slurping up a few stray pasta. Acid takes a bit out of his pizza as a small smile creeps across his face. He watches as one of the pasta strands Film slurps up hits his cheek. He rubs the spot where it hit his cheek before going back to his pasta. Acid chuckles as pasta sauce dribbles down his muzzle.
Film looks over at Acid with a confused expression. Acid can't stop laughing as he points at Film before wiping his muzzle were the sauce was. Film tilts his head before it goes through his skull. He blushes a bit before whipping his muzzle with his hoof.
"Here, have a rag," Acid says as he finally stops laughing. His horn lights up before the crystal on his horn lights up. Appearing in a flash of orange light is a rag also engulfed in an orange aura. Acid passes the rag to Film, who grabs it from his magic grip before cleaning his muzzle. Acid waits for a second as Film vigorously scrubs his muzzle before placing the rag on the table and picking back up his plate.
"Thanks," Film says before going back to eating his pasta.
"No problem," Acid says before finishing his slice of pizza. He grabs his soda and takes a sip from it before setting it back down.
"Would it be ok if Blood Moon comes?" Acid asks before turning towards Film, who has a face full of pasta. Film swallows before answering.
"I would have to cheek with Bold, but I don't see why not," Film shrugs.
"Ok, I'll ask Moon if she would like to come," Acid smiles. "I hope she won't be to mad,"
(Time Skip)
"Why would I be mad?" Blood Moon asks. The two are sitting at a table in the Canterlot Castel's lunch room. Acid has a sandwich half eaten on his plate, and across from him sits Blood Moon with an empty plate.
"It's just, most ponies are not happy when plans get changed," Acid says, twitalying his hooves as he looks down at the table.
"Acid, it's flippin Bold Action inviting us. Of course I would rather go to a play and meet him if it meant just pushing off a date night," Blood explains. Acid sighs in relief before picking up his sandwich again and taking a bite out of it.
Blood Moon smiles before standing up and grabbing her plate. She walks over to Acid before draping a wing around his back. Acid flinches a bit before looking up at the Moon. She smiles down at him before placing a gentle kiss on his forehead. Acid smiles as he nuzzles his head into chest. Moon holds him tighter as she places a hoof on top of his head. She proceeds to mess his mane up.
"Hay!" Acid yells in surprise as he quickly puts down his sandwich on his plate before trying to swat her hoof away. "Don't mess up the hair!" Acid says as Moon pulls away from him and closes her wing. Acid crosses his hoofs over his chest and looks up at her in anger. Sadly it's not effective, his hair now a mess of strands. A few strands of hair falling over his eyes, just enhancing his adorable pouting. Moon covers her mouth with a hoof as she laughs.
"S-sorry, I can't take you seriously looking like that,'' Moon says. "You look like a child,"
"Me being short doesn't help that," Acid replies as he tries to fix his mane.
"See you at seven Small Flasks!" Moon says, before walking away. Acid watches her walk away with a blush on his face and slight confusion in his eyes.
"Small Flask," Acid wispears. "I've heard that before, but where?'' Acid whispers to himself as he turns to face his still not eaten sandwich.
(Time Skip)
"Where the heck is he?" Acid asks Film. The two brothers stand outside the Princess Theater Hall with Blood Moon. The group is looking around for Bold. Acid is dressed in a simple black tux while Film has an orange tux coat with a green under shirt. Moon wears a simple black short dress with stars imprinted in the dress. Her hair combed and slightly curled at the ends.
"Probably fashionably late like usual," Film says, face hoofing.
"There he is," Acid says before pointing at Bold walking towards them. He is dressed in a tux without pants.
"Sorry I'm late," Bold says as he walks up to the group.
"Glad you decided to get out of bed," Film smiles up at Bold. Bold lets out a huff before responding back.
"Says the pony dressed like an inverted carrot," Acid's eyes go wide before he quickly covers his mouth to stop the sudden burst of laughter to over welm him. Blood Moon looks away as she struggles to keep a straight face. Film is unfazed by the combake as he raises an eyebrow.
"That's your best retort?"
"I could have called you a discolored blood stain,"
"Do they always act like this?" Moon asks Acid, still trying not to laugh.
"I have no idea," Acid responded back. "I'm going to stop them before this gets out of their hoof," Acid says before walking over to Bold. "Hi, I'm Film's brother Acid," Acid greats Bold before extending his hoof. Bold looks down at Acid a little confused before a lightbulb clicks in his head.
"Sorry, where are my manners? I'm Bold Action, nice to meet you," Bold says as he shakes Acids hoof. "And who is the lovely mare," Bold says, turning to face Moon.
"Names Blood Moon," Moon says as the two shake hoofs.
"Is Acid your stallion?" Bold asks as they seperate.
"Ya?" Moon replies hesitantly as she and Acid look at each other before looking back at Bold.
"You're a lucky stallion, Acid. Don't lose her," Bold jokingly says. Acid and Film roll their eyes as Moon shakes her head.
"Come on, we have a play to get to," Film says, walking past the group.
"You never told me what the play was," Acid says as the group walks up to the revolving doors.
"It's The Wizard of Oz," Bold replies to Acid's question as Film hands over four pre-bought tickets to the ticket taker. The mare takes them from Film, looks at them and at the group before ripping the stub off and handing the tickets back.
"Have a nice night," The mare says as the group walks in.
"You too," Acid replies before walking in with the rest of the group.
