Chapter 34

Tommy, Phil, and Dil were at Doug's Diner, at a table. Phil was reading a magazine while Tommy and Dil talked.

"So, T," Dil said, "Any luck with plays or movies or any other crap like that?"

"Nah." Tommy shook his head sipping some coffee. "I'm about to give up."

"Never give up." Phil said in a real heroic voice without even taking his eyes off his magazine. Tommy stared at him blankly and then Phil leaned in and pointed to a word in the magazine. "Hey Tommy, what's this word?"

Tommy looked and glared at him. "Slow, Phil."

"So I'm a little slow, just tell me the word." Phil growled.

"The word is slow." Tommy sighed. He then whispered to Dil. "Phil wasn't always this stupid. But, ever since we got back from college our junior year, he has been."

"While you all were gone, I accidently shut the garage door on his head." Dil smiled. "After he told me about dropping me on my head."

Lil was at home, reading the mail. Mikey was in the playpen. "Bills." she sighed. "Bills. Bills. Junk mail. Jury duty." she then rolled her eyes but was then relieved it was for Kimi.

Tommy walked in and sat down next to her. "Any mail worth having?"

"No." Lil sighed but then noticed an envelope adressed to Tommy from some adress in Hollywood. "What's this?"

Tommy grabbed it and opened it. His eyes widened and he cheered, "Yes!"

"What, what?" Lil asked smiling.

"About a month ago," he said, "I wrote a script for a movie and sent it into a studio." he said. "They wanna make my movie!"

"Yes!" Lil shouted jumping up.

"It says thattomorrow, I need to drive up to Hollywood to meet this director guy." Tommy said reading it. "That seems simple."

"This is so cool!" Lil cheered.

Phil was in his apartment watching TV when Kimi walked in. "Hi." she said sitting next to him on the couch.

"Hey." he replied. "What's up?"

"Phil," Kimi sighed grabbing the remote control and turning off the TV. "Let me ask you something."

"Yeah?" he turned to her. "What is it?"

"Do you-" she then stopped and thought for a second. She looked at him and sighed, "-want to have dinner later?"

"Huh?"

"You know," she shrugged, "As friends? A friendly dinner?"

Phil shrugged, smiling, "Sure. How 'bout tomorrow night?"

"Yeah, okay."

Next day, night time...

Phil and Kimi were walking home from the dinner that they had. "Thanks for dinner, Phil." Kimi said as they walked throughthe night air.

"No problem." he shrugged. They both stopped as a man walked up to them.

"Alright, give me the purse." he pulled a pistol out from under his jacket and pointed it at them.

Kimi got nervous and stepped back but Phil started giggling and pushed the man aside. "Alright, buddy, step aside."

"Huh?" the guy looked at him odd.

"Tch." Phil shrugged. "Come on,Kimi." Phil grabbed her hand and began to walk but the thug stepped in front of them, pointing the gun.

"Give me the damn purse." he ordered to Kimi. "And your wallet." he said to Phil.

"Beat it." Phil glared at the guy. "We're not giving you crap!"

"Give it!" he grabbed Kimi's purse but she tried to hold it back. "Give it!" he shouted again. Kimi then punched him and took her purse back. He quickly raised the gun up and pulled the trigger but Phil dove and pushed Kimi out of the way.
