I got my keys out and slid them into the lock. As soon as I was in the house I hung my coat up on the hook and kicked my shoes off at the door.

"How was work love?" My wife, Emma, called from the kitchen. I smiled and walked into the room, kissing her on the cheek.

"Good as always. I'm playing Hamlet so I'd say the audition went well." I grinned, feeling proud of myself.

"Oh well done hun, I'm cooking your favourite - spaghetti Bolognaise." She winked and I grinned at her.

"Perfect." I nodded and pecked her lips before running upstairs to change into some comfortable clothes. We spent the night eating dinner together and watching the new episodes of doctor who on TV. Everything was perfect ... well, almost everything.

"I think it's time to head to bed babe." Emma yawned and pecked my cheek. I gulped, I was always anxious when it came to going to sleep ...

"Alright." I smiled falsely and followed her up to our bedroom. We both changed into our pyjamas and slipped into bed. I rested my head on the pillow and tried to relax but I was tense all over. As soon as I drifted off it would happen - the dreams.

"Night babe." Emma sighed, wrapping her arms round my waist.

"Night." I swallowed and reluctantly closed my eyes.

I looked up. There he was, smiling down at me. "Come ooon Dan! I don't want to be late for the movies!" He grinned, pouting cutely at me.

"Alright Phil, I'm coming." I chuckled and let him drag me down the hall to get our shoes on. I grabbed my wallet and keys and let Phil drag me out the door. "I know we've got cameo rolls and everything but we don't have to sprint there Phil." I laughed at his enthusiasm.

"Oh come on Dan! I can't help that I'm excited, I mean we're actually in a Disney movie! How can I not be excited?" He beamed and continued to tug on my arm.

"Ok, ok I get it." I shook my head, although the smile never left my face. Soon enough we were in the building and buying the tickets, snacks and 3D glasses. We took our seats in the middle row - some of the best seats in the house.

"Hey Dan." Phil suddenly spoke up and I turned to look at him. I frowned when he took of my 3D glasses. My eyes widened in surprise when I was pulled into a very passionate kiss. I quickly overcame the shock and held the back of his head, pulling his closer - returning the kiss. Before things got too heated he pulled away with a cheeky grin and I looked at him in annoyance. He always teased me at the most annoying times in public. Just when that kiss was getting interesting he pulled away.

He just smirked and popped a piece of popcorn in his mouth with a smug smile before turning to the screen where the film was about to start. I scowled at him before grabbing my glasses and sticking them on. I really enjoyed the beginning and nearly cried when a character died only twenty minutes into the film.

As the story progressed I suddenly felt Phil's hand on my thigh, lightly stroking it. I looked over at him to see an innocent expression and narrowed my eyes at him before turning back to the film and trying to ignore his hand on my leg although it was very distracting.
