Film walks alone down the hallway of Cloudsdale elementary school as he heads to lunch. Kids talking in the halls fill his ears up like cotton balls. He tunes them out as he thinks about next week's Pegjet class as he turns the corner. He looks around whe the hallway goes silent. The hallway has little to no life to it and only a few classrooms. His smile fades as he sees Fluttershy with her back to the wall and is curled up into a ball while Gilda and Hoops smile down on her wickedly.

Gilda is a big brown griffin with a yellow beak and white head fur. The rest being brown along with her big wings. One of her yellow claws outstretched palm up and open in front of her and pecining to Fluttershy to hand something over. Hoops is a bulky light brown stallion with dark brown hair covering his eyes.

"Just hand over the money butters," Hoops says with a big grin.

"Come on squeaker, hand over the bits before it gets messy," Gilda says before leaning in to wispear into Fluttershy's ear. "Or i'll tell mister flightless you have a crush on him," Fluttershy blushes as gilda pulls away as Film walks up to them.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" Film yells, startling Hoops as Gilda looks over unamused.

"What are you going to do, hug us to death?" Gilda asks. Film grits his teeth at the insults. His anger boiling inside of him as he slides the bag off his back and kicks it to the wall. He spreads his bigger than normal wings as he lowers himself to the ground.

"Ha!" Hoops laughs as he turns towards Film. "Clipper, save us all the embarrassment and step away. All we want is the money Ms Fluttershy owes us."

"Make like a bird and fly," Gilda says, standing next to hoops. She also spreads her wings and lowers herself. Film grunts in anger, his face turning red from anger as his mind is clouded with hateful thoughts.

"You forgot G, He can't fly!" Hoops says as the two laugh.

"I can!" Film yells back.

"What?" Gilda shot back. "With those metal wings baby bro made in his welding class?" The two burst out laughing again. Gilda letters her guard down as her wings rest against the floor. Film's heart stops for a second when he hears there lafter. His face turning to slight shock before returning to anger. Now even more angry then before sense they brought hos brother into this.

He flaps his wings, getting just enough lift to raise his feet off the ground and glide. Hoops dodges as Film sweeps Gilda's legs out from underneath her. Gilda falls face first into the ground as Hoops runs to her side. Film turns around and lands in front of Fluttershy. He stays low to the ground as he keeps his wings spread out to block the two from Fluttershy.

Fluttershy sits up as a light blush forms on her face. She averts her eyes from Film as she tries to disappear into the wall. Gilda wips a claw across her beak as she glares daggers at Film. Hoops and Gilda ready themselves for a fight. Fluttershy standing up on her shaky legs as Gilda charges in anger.

Pumping his wings once, he shoots to the side of Gilda as she charges right past him. Film then flaps his wings again before tackling her to the ground. The two go rolling for a bit before Gilda is victorious. She sits on his chest as she smacks him in the face with all her effert. She does it a few more times as a bruise forms on his muzzle. Tears forming in his eyes as Fluttershy slips away. She looks back at her friend being hit as she turns the corner.

"Must get help," She thinks as she runs as fast as her long, lanky legs could carry her. Gilda stops as she breathes heavily. Film's muzzle is now completely black as blood runs down his nose. She gets off of him as Hoops walks over to him.

"Never had a chance," Hoops mocks at the unconscious Film.

"Shut it Hoops, let's just get out of here." She says as she walks away. Hoops quickly follows after her. "Fluttershy left, she probably went to get help," Gilda says before Hoops can ask.

"Gilda!" Film yells out. Film recorils at his own voice. He rubs his ears as they ring. He sees double of everything. Gilda looks back at Film laying on the ground on his stomach.

"What is dweeb?" She spits angrily.

"Why do this?" He asks threw his cracky voice. "You use to be friends with Fluttershy, but now you take her bits and bully her,"

"They were cool till they let you in. Dash is the only one left that has any coolness in you're group," Gilda replies as she turns to walk away. "That day I learned they would let anyone into our sacred friend group," She says before walking away with Hoops by her side. Film grunts as he coughs. His vision blacking out as he rests his head against the ground. His eye lids weighing a ton as he struggles to keep them open. He slowly loses the fight with his vision as he sees Fluttershy and a stallion teacher round the corner.

Film sits on the medical bed in the nurse's office with an ice pack on his muzzle. His nose now swollen from the fight. He lays down and rests his chin on the soft bed. He looks at the poster on the other side of the room. Heal up, posted on it in big yellow letters with a nurse mare on it. Film sighs as he rethinks the encounter.

"Why did I do that," Film thinks aloud to himself. The door creaks open as Fluttershy's head peeks into the room. Film looks over before smiling. He sits up as the ice pack slides off his face.

"You can come in Fluttershy," Film says as he grabs the ice pack and places it back on his muzzle. Fluttershy wordlessly walks in and closes the door. She walks up to the bed and jumps up next to him. The two sit there, staring at the other side of the room before Film breaks the silence.

"What are you doing here Fluttershy?"

"Umm.." Fluttershy looks down at the ground as her hoofs play with her long pink hair. "I just wanted to make sure you were ok," A small smile forms on Film's face as he hears her soft voice. He extends his wing and wraps it around her. She lets out a very cute mep as she looks over at Film with surprise.

"Thanks," Film replies, looking into Fluttershy's eyes. Fluttershy smiles as a light blush forms on Her face. She scoots closer to him before resting her head against his chest. Film places his head on top of hers.

Fluttershy sighs as she snuggles into his neck. Film pulling her tighter to his chest. Fluttershy's heart rate skyrockets as she hears his rapid heart rate. She wraps an arm around his body, hugging into him. Film readjusts the ice pack on his muzzle as he starts mindlessly petting her hair. Her pink hair felt like silk under his hoof.

"I wonder what conditioner she uses?" Film thinks to himself before a more important question wiggles its way into his brain.

"Why did you owe Gilda bits?" Film asks, pulling away slightly. Fluttershy looks at the ground in embarrassment. She plays with the bed. Film sits there and waits patiently for her to answer. "You don't have to answer, it's ok," Film says as he hugs her with his wing. She relaxes into his body.

"I was pressured into a bet that I lost," Fluttershy explains. The room goes dead quiet after she stops talking. Film hugs her tighter to his chest as he thinks of a way to respond. The silence hurting his heart with every beat.

"Might I ask what was the bet?" Film asks softly.

"Gilda bet me and Dash that we couldn't prank more students than her," Fluttershy response. Film now confused, asks a follow up question.

"What was so bad about it?"

"Gilda forced me to take a seat out from under a kid as he sat down," Fluttershy responds.

"Oh.." Film is sad. "It's not the worst thing, but just enough to harm her," Film thinks as he tries to comfort her. He hugs her with his wing as he pets her head softly. The door again opens, but not slowly. It slams open, causing the two ponies to jump from surprise as Film quickly takes his wing and arm off of Fluttershy. She scoots away as Dash flies up to Film.

"Dud! That was so cool!" Dash yells, shaking Film, causing the ice pack to fall off his muzzle again. Dash stops and starts flying around the room. "I mean, the school is abuzz with rumors of you kicking Gilda's flank!" Dash stops in front of Film and looks at him. "You did? Didn't you?"

Film grabs the ice pack and places it back on his muzzle. "What do you think?" Film asks sarcastically.

"Oh.." Dash says a little sad when she realized her friend was hurt. "You ok dude?" She asks with concern in her voice as she flies up and sits down next to him.

"Ya," Film response. "Especially with you two here," Film says, looking between the two mares. Fluttershy blushes as Dash confidently smiles.

"If Gilda ever does this again Fluttershy, just yell for us, we'll help ya," Dash says, jumping into the air and hovering in front of Fluttershy. "We'll make sure she gets her comeuppance!"

Fluttershy smiles as she tries to slide into her mane. Her eyes were covered by her long mane. Dash and Film chukel at Fluttershy before the two hug her.

"This is what I was afraid of happening," Glass says as she pours out the bag and replaces it with new ice. Film resting his head on the table as his mother walks over to him.

"They were picking on Fluttershy! No one does that on my watch!" Film yells, sitting up. Glass smiles and hands him the bag. He grabs it and places it on his muzzle.

"It's sweet of you to help a pony," Glass turns away and walks back to the boiling water. "But you don't have to fight each and every one,"

"But they will not listen to us," Film grumbles as he crosses his arms and places his head on top of them.

"Not everyone will," Glass says, turning back to face Film. "You just have to deal with what you get,"

"I'm home!" Acid yells as he walks into the house. He places his bag down next to the door.

"Hello sweetie," Glass greats Acid as he walks into the kitchen. He stops and looks shocked at Film.

"Film? What are you doing here early?" Acid jumps up into the chair next to Film.

"I got into a fight," Film says, looking over at Acid.

"Either you did some real damage to them, or it was a one sided fight," Acid says with a light chukel.

"It was mostly one sided," Film says, sitting up and adjusting his ice pack.

"Oh…" Acid looks at the table awkwardly.

"How are my boys doing?!" Avi pronounces boldly as he walks into the kitchen. The three stare at him before looking at each other. "Did I miss something?"

"Ya, a fight," Film replies as Acid jumps off his chair and heads past Avi.

"Are you ok?" Avi asks as he quickly makes his way over to Film. "You aren't that hurt are you?" Avi picks up the ice back and looks at the damage.

"I-i'm fine dad!" Film says threw a few chuckles. He tries to push Avi away from him. Avi laughs as he places the ice pack back on Film's muzzle. "You're worse than mom,"

"Probably," Avi says as he looks over at Glass. Glass and Avi smile at eachother.
