Part 1
Danny: Zoe, come back!
You rush out to the parking lot to see Zoe’s SUV peeling out into the road.
Danny: Zoe, wait! Damn it! Too late…
Ethan: We’ve got to get her back, Danny. You need this wedding to happen.
Danny: I know. I’ve already got Brian Ratzik breathing down my--
Ethan: I don’t just mean for the TV special. If those two aren’t in a good mood, they’re not going to vouch for you at your hearing next week.
Danny: Right… that’s happening. Where would Zoe go, though?
Ethan: I don’t know, why don’t we ask the hundreds of paparazzi who are undoubtedly following her right now?
Danny: Oh, right. Hollywood.
Ethan pulls up TMZ on his phone and shows you the front page article.
Danny: ‘Bridal Power: Zoe Rodriguez hits the gym on her wedding day!’ The article says she’s at Shredded Warrior Fitness. I guess that’s where I’m going!
Rewards
You park near Shredded Warrior Fitness and head inside. You spot Zoe pulverizing a punching bag as a nearby boombox blares old school hip hop.
Zoe: Stupid! Vain! JERK!
Zoe delivers a blistering fast roundhouse kick to the punching bag, splitting a seam and spilling sand all over the floor of the gym.
Danny: Uh… Zoe?
Zoe: What?!
Danny: I just wanted to talk!
Zoe: You want to talk? Fine. Throw on some sparring shields and get in the ring. I need a new punching bag.
Danny: Gulp.
Part 2
Zoe: We’ll talk in the ring. Keep your guard up.
You strap on some sparring shields and duck under the ropes of the boxing ring.
Zoe: Listen up, new meat. You flinch, you get hurt. You keep the pads up, you don’t get hurt. Got it?
Danny: Got it. I think you’ll be— Ooof!
You wince as Zoe’s first strike catches you square in the stomach, knocking the wind out of you!
Zoe: Keep your guard up, rookie!
Zoe pivots on the ball of her foot and thrusts a side kick straight at your chest! You block! You bring up the sparring shield just in time, absorbing the kick!
Danny: Yes!
Zoe: Not bad. You’re faster than you look.
Zoe feints left, then right. You try to keep a read on her, analyzing her body language for any hint of an attack…
Zoe: Stupid Chance, inviting everyone in L.A. to our wedding… he’s making this whole thing about him, as usual!
Danny: Didn’t you have any input on the wedding planning?
Zoe: Barely! There’s only one thing I even care about…
Zoe feints forward, peppering your sparring shields with a barrage of light punches.
Danny: What’s the one thing you cared about?
You block a few jabs before Zoe throws up her hands in frustration.
Zoe: You’re just going to pester me to ‘open up’ this whole time, aren’t you? Let’s get this over with.
You grab a bench on the far wall of the gym. Zoe wraps an ice pack around her bruised knuckles and then comes to join you.
Zoe: The only thing I planned for this wedding is the song that plays when I walk down the aisle.
Danny: Isn’t it always that song that’s like ‘dum dum da dum… dum dum da dum?’
Zoe: Yeah, they’ll play the Wedding March at first… but once I reach the steps to the altar, that boring crap will fade out, and the Rocky theme will start! I’ll run up the stairs just like Rocky!
Danny: Sounds awesome. Rocky is a classic! Is that your favorite movie?
Zoe: Yeah. When I was a kid, my brothers and I watched it, like, a hundred times.
Danny: Well, if all you wanted from your wedding was this one song, this one moment… you’re getting that, right?
Zoe: Yeah, I mean… Chance did agree to that, and that’s all I asked of him.
Danny: Then it sounds like Crash knows what matters to you.
Zoe: Yeah… I guess I shouldn’t have gotten so pissed. Besides, when I walk up those stairs to marry him, and the Rocky theme starts playing… that’s gonna be badass.
Rewards
Just then, your phone vibrates.
Danny: Oh, great… I just got a text from Brian Ratzik. It says… ‘Chance is going full groomzilla. Put together an emergency wedding committee and get to Staples Center ASAP.’ I gotta head to the venue, Zoe. See you later?
Zoe: Yeah. I’ll be there. By the way… thanks. I guess I lost sight of what was important. I’m glad you were there to remind me.
Part 3
Danny: I need a crack team of wedding experts, stat!
You hurry through the massive crowd forming outside the Staples Center with Berry, Cira, and Howard in tow.
Brian Ratzik: Finally! Where’ve you been?
Danny: I was gathering your ‘emergency wedding committee.’
Just then, Chance barges in on your conversation.
Chance: Everything is going wrong! Danny, you gotta help me fix this!
Brian Ratzik claps you on the back.
Brian Ratzik: I’ll leave you to deal with this. Good luck.
Chance: I’m about to have my face blown-up on a Jumbotron for about a billion people… I can’t get married looking like this!
Berry: What are you talking about?
Cira: You look fine!
Howard: You look like Zoe’s Prince Charming!
Chance: How can you tell me that with a straight face? My whole look is wrong!
Time - 10 hours, 30 minutes
You and your wedding committee sit Chance down on the bleachers to talk.
Chance: Man, everything is all messed up!
Danny: What do you mean?
Chance: Well, for one, I’ve got a super obvious scratch on my neck.
Danny: I didn’t actually notice that at all… but Cira can take care of it!
Cira: You just need a little concealer! Here, sit still…
While Cira covers the scratch, Chance counts off the rest of his emergency problems.
Chance: Second, my suit’s all wrong… it’s way too traditional. I’m at the Staples Center! I should be repping Lakers colors!
Berry: Uh, I don’t think that’s such a good idea.
Chance: This is my team we’re talking about!
Berry: You need to think about what you’re saying with your choice of suit. Do you want to say ‘Go Lakers!’ or ‘I love this woman and respect her, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her?’
Chance: But I’m all about my Lakers! Everyone knows that!
Berry: Chance, I know a lot of the audience will be Lakers fans… especially now that you’ve invited everyone in L.A., but ultimately, this is about you and Zoe.
Howard: Zoe might not want to admit this, but very girl wants to be treated like a princess on their wedding day.
Cira: She may be more of a warrior princess, but you need to show her that you care about her. Not just the fans.
Chance: All right, damn! No need to gang up on a guy…
Berry: So, you’ll stick with the suit you’ve got on?
Chance: Yeah, yeah. Promise.
Howard: This wedding will be a modern fairytale! Like ‘A Cinderella Story’ or ‘Another Cinderella Story’!
Rewards
Danny: Feeling a bit better, Chance?
Chance: Yeah, I guess I--
Just then, workmen wheel in a dolly loaded with hundreds of red roses.
Chance: What the hell is this?!
Danny: What’s wrong?
Chance: Look at all these roses! Who wants to get married surrounded by the most overdone flower of all time?
Danny: What flowers did you want?
Chance: I don’t know, just figure something out! I can’t wear a boring suit and have lame roses at my wedding… Find some better flowers, or I’m going to go change into my Lakers suit.
Danny: On it!
Part 4
Chance: These flowers look all wrong! Danny, you gotta fix this!
As the crowd starts to file into the Staples Center, you lead Chance down the aisle to show him the beautiful new flowers.
Chance: That’s what I’m talking about, Danny! You’re my wedding planning MVP! You really want the extra mile, and… I appreciate that.
Danny: It was my pleasure. But I think there’s someone else you should be focusing on right now…
Zoe strides into the Staples Center, her hair still wet from the gym shower.
Zoe: Okay, I’m ready to put on my unnecessarily long piece of white fabric…
Chance sees Zoe enter the building and turns back to you.
Chance: Oh, you mean Zoe? Come on, Danny! I knew she’d be back. She always comes around sooner or later.
Danny: Actually, I think you should go say--
Chance: Trust me. I don’t need to apologize. This is just how we are.
In the distance, you watch as Zoe walks away toward the changing rooms.
Chance: What I really want to talk to you about now is the music. I know Zoe wants to play the theme song from that movie about that guy who gets beat up and loses, but I feel like that sends the wrong message, you know? Chance Duncan doesn’t lose!
Danny: Well, Zoe said that--
Chance waves to the stands, and the crowd starts to chant his name. As the camera crews enter the building, they get shots of the excited crowd.
Chance: Look at these people, Danny. They didn’t come here to hear a song about a loser! We need something triumphant! Something for winners! Something like… The Jock Jams Megamix!
Danny: Chance, I really think you should play the Rocky theme. Zoe’s pretty adamant about that.
Chance: All right, all right… you’re the wedding expert.
Rewards
Brian Ratzik pulls you away from Chance.
Brian Ratzik: Everything under control? The wedding starts in just a few hours.
Danny: Yeah, I think I’ve got just about everything sorted out… finally.
Brian Ratzik: Great. Just one question, then.
Danny: Yeah?
Brian Ratzik: Why are you dressed for a casual evening out and not for a wedding?!
Part 5
Danny: Time to get dressed for the wedding!
Dressed in the perfect outfit, you come out of a dressing room to find Addison and Ethan waiting for you.
Danny: As this wedding’s director, this is the perfect outfit for running around and giving orders! And that starts with you two! Ethan, I want you to double check that all the photographers are in position!
Ethan: On it.
Danny: Addison, get ready to walk with the other bridesmaids!
Addison: Oh! I forgot how intimidating your ‘director face’ can be!
Rewards
You spend the next ten minutes running around, barking orders.
Danny: Camera Two, I need you to get in position! We need more hydrangeas! Someone tell the tech crew to soften the spotlight!
Ethan: Will do.
Danny: We’re on in ten! Someone tell Zoe she’d better be ready to go!
Addison: I’ve got it covered!
A few minutes later, you gaze out at the Staples Center floor, which has been set up with a massive stage and a long red carpet leading up to it. On the stage, a white trellis hung with gauzy silks arches over the altar where Chance and Zoe will be married.
Danny: Everything looks ready…
In the distance, you hear the opening bars of the Wedding March!
Danny: It’s game time, people! Tell the bridal party to get in position!
Part 6
Addison: This wedding is actually happening! I’ve always wanted to be a bridesmaid!
The bridal party walks down the aisle as the traditional Wedding March plays. A camera crew follows close behind.
Addison: Sniff… I always cry at weddings.
Desiree: Here! You can borrow my handkerchief!
Kelly: I can’t wait to see Zoe walk up the stairs as the ‘Rocky’ theme plays!
Jennifer: This is going to be one of the biggest reality TV moments of all time! And I’m right in the middle of it!
The bridesmaids line up on stage, where they’re joined by the Lakers players serving as Chance’s groomsmen.
Chance: Here I come! The groom has entered the building!
Chance appears at the end of the red carpet, then runs up on stage, high-fiving the other Lakers as he goes.
Chance: This arena has seen a lot of championships. But no victory can compare to the awesomeness of tonight. Tonight, I marry the love of my life… Zoe Rodriguez!
As Chance says her name, Zoe walks down the red carpet toward the long flight of steps leading up to the stage.
Zoe: Let’s do this.
Zoe starts to run up the stairs to the stage!
Danny: Time to cue the music!
The Wedding March cuts out… and is replaced by…
Zoe: The Jock Jams Megamix?!
Time - 15 hours, 45 minutes
As the Jock James Megamix plays, Zoe stares daggers at Chance.
Zoe: How could you do this, Chance? This song was the only thing I cared about!
Chance: Don’t be like that, baby. I thought about playing that Rocky song you like… But then I asked my Twitter followers, and they definitely preferred Jock Jams! It wasn’t even close!
Zoe: You let your fans decide the music instead of me?!
Chance: You gotta give the people what they want, right?
Zoe: No. No you don’t. Sometimes, you have to give your fiancee what she wants.
With that, Zoe takes off her engagement ring and raises it in her fist!
Chance: Easy with that thing, Zoe. That set me back two million bucks!
Zoe: I don’t care what it cost. I don’t want it anymore. I think it’s time to give it to your true love.
With that, Zoe tosses the ring into the middle of the crowd!
Rewards
The ring arcs through the air… and right into a Lakers fan’s hands! Camera crews descend on him for an interview, shoving microphones into his face!
Ethan: Looks like someone just became a millionaire!
Chance: Zoe… I… I don’t understand. What does this mean?
Zoe: It means the wedding is off. We’re done.
With that, Zoe runs for the exit, leaving Chance all alone beneath the white archway.
Chance: This was supposed to be the wedding of the century. Now it’s not even a wedding at all. I… I gotta take a few seconds.
Chance heads for the locker room, his teammates trailing behind him. As the crowd sits in stunned silence, Brian Ratzik sidles up to you.
Brian Ratzik: First of all, I just want to say I love this twist. Left at the altar! Classic! Out ratings are gonna be off the charts! But… it’s not an ending! The audience isn’t going to understand how to process what they just saw! Should they be happy or sad? Is this a comedy or a tragedy? Is this a story about a man’s ego crushing his own dreams? Or a tale of mismatched lovers?
Danny: You want me to… figure out the ending?
Brian Ratzik: We need to tell people how to feel! That’s reality television. That’s storytelling! Now get out there and say something to the crowd. We’ll be filming!
Part 7
Danny: I’d better say something to make sure this wedding special ends on a good note!
The crowd falls into a hush as you grab a microphone and clear your throat.
Danny: I think there’s a lesson we can all learn from today. A lesson about love. I know that the biggest question coming out of this will be… whose fault was it? A lot of people will say that Chance got carried away… But he didn’t. He was just trying to make his wedding memorable. There’s nothing wrong with wanting your wedding day to be special. Chance has always been the type of guy who does things big. I think, in the end, he and Zoe just didn’t see eye to eye on that. And speaking of Zoe… She made the right choice. Sure, it sucks to leave someone at the altar. Probably as much as it sucks to get left at the altar. But if they’d stayed together, they would’ve had to change a lot for each other. Too much. In the end, the important thing to take away is… Love is worth fighting for. Things didn’t go as planned for Chance and Zoe, but you know what? One day, they’ll look back on this day and thank each other for everything that went down. Because if they’d gotten married today, they’d never have met their true soul mates.
You give the camera a little smile, letting the audience know that everything will be okay.
Danny: I guess that what I’m trying to say, America, is that you shouldn’t be afraid to fall in love. It might hurt, it might be the scariest thing you do in your whole life… but promise me you’ll take that chance. Take a chance on love.
The audience jumps to their feet, and a deafening applause fills the Staples Center!
Brian Ratzik: Beautiful, Danny! Even my cold heart just melted a little!
Later, you head to the locker room to find Chance just as he’s leaving.
Chance: Danny… is this all a bad dream?
Danny: I’m sorry, buddy. Maybe it’s better this way. At least you didn’t end up divorced 72 days later.
Chance: That’s… a good point.
Chance walks back to one of his Laker teammates, who throws an arm around him.
Danny: Think he’ll be okay?
Brian Ratzik: He’s young, rich, and willing to throw money at anything that glitters. He’ll be lucky if he’s single for a week.
Ethan: Speaking of rich… I know this wedding thing’s kind of a bummer… maybe this can cheer you up!
Ethan holds up a check from Chance for the other five-hundred thousand dollars!
Danny: That’s… awesome.
Ethan: Awesome? Five hundred dollars is awesome. But this plus the other check means we’ve now got our million, Danny. That means from here on out, we control our own destiny. Now let me see that smile.
Danny: …
Ethan: Come on. Let me see it.
Danny: Fine. You got me.
Ethan: There it is. That, and a few measly percentage points, is what I live for.
Rewards
Ethan: Before we get too excited about our next project, we should make sure you’re not going to be expelled.
Danny: Oh, crap. Do you think Zoe and Chance will still vouch for me even though the whole wedding thing didn’t work out?
Ethan: Only one way to find out. We’ll go talk to them once the dust settles a little bit.
Part 8
Ethan: You need those celebrity endorsements! You’d better check in with Chance and Zoe.
A few days after the wedding, you find Zoe at her gym, where she’s pounding a punching bag with a picture of Chance taped to it.
Danny: Still working out some anger?
Zoe: I’m completely over it.
She socks the punching bag, sending it flying.
Danny: So… uh… I was going to ask about--
Zoe: Your disciplinary hearing. I know. I’ll be there.
Danny: Really? After everything that’s happened?
Zoe: None of that’s on you. It’s on Chance. Besides… I promised to help. And I never go back on my word.
Danny: Thanks, Zoe. I owe you one.
As you walk out of the gym, you find Ethan waiting in his Porsche.
Ethan: We’ve got a problem. I just saw a retweet from Jenni that Chance is hopping on a plane!
Danny: Sounds like we’d better get to LAX. Fast!
Time - 18 hours, 15 minutes
Ethan’s tired screech as he pulls into the LAX departures terminal.
Ethan: Go find Chance! We need him for your hearing!
Danny: I’ll do my best!
You run inside… and spot Chance signing autographs just outside of airport security!
Danny: Chance! I caught you just in time! Where are you going?
Chance: Zoe and I were planning to hit Barbados for our honeymoon, and the tip is nonrefundable… Luckily, I got my new friend Kandi to come with me!
Next to him, you spot a girl holding a large suitcase with the name ‘Mandi’ spelled out in rhinestones.
Danny: It’s, uh, nice to see you’re bouncing back so quickly!
Chance: No one knows how to rebound like an NBA player! I’m totally over Zoe! Totally…
Danny: Look… I understand that you’re going through a lot… but I need to know if you can make it back in time for my hearing!
Chance: Danny… I might never come back.
With that, Chance waves goodbye to his fans and walks through security. ‘Kandi’-Mandi follows close behind.
Danny: That didn’t go as planned…

You walk back outside, where Ethan is waiting for you.
Ethan: What’s with the long face? Where’s Chance? What’s going on?
Danny: Chance is… gone. I don’t have a third person to vouch for me at the hearing! I think… I think I’m going to get expelled!
Is this the end? Will you really be expelled? Keep playing to find out!
Danny: Zoe, come back!

In the distance, you hear the opening bars of the Wedding March!
Danny: It’s game time, people! Tell the bridal party to get in position!
Part 6
Addison: This wedding is actually happening! I’ve always wanted to be a bridesmaid!
- Addison
- A Girl Model wearing a Premiere Night Outfit (Kelly)
- A Girl Reality TV wearing a Premiere Night Outfit (Jennifer)
The bridal party walks down the aisle as the traditional Wedding March plays. A camera crew follows close behind.
Addison: Sniff… I always cry at weddings.
Desiree: Here! You can borrow my handkerchief!
Kelly: I can’t wait to see Zoe walk up the stairs as the ‘Rocky’ theme plays!
Jennifer: This is going to be one of the biggest reality TV moments of all time! And I’m right in the middle of it!
The bridesmaids line up on stage, where they’re joined by the Lakers players serving as Chance’s groomsmen.
Chance: Here I come! The groom has entered the building!
Chance appears at the end of the red carpet, then runs up on stage, high-fiving the other Lakers as he goes.
Chance: This arena has seen a lot of championships. But no victory can compare to the awesomeness of tonight. Tonight, I marry the love of my life… Zoe Rodriguez!
As Chance says her name, Zoe walks down the red carpet toward the long flight of steps leading up to the stage.
Zoe: Let’s do this.
Zoe starts to run up the stairs to the stage!
Danny: Time to cue the music!
The Wedding March cuts out… and is replaced by…
Zoe: The Jock Jams Megamix?!
Time - 15 hours, 45 minutes
As the Jock James Megamix plays, Zoe stares daggers at Chance.
Zoe: How could you do this, Chance? This song was the only thing I cared about!
Chance: Don’t be like that, baby. I thought about playing that Rocky song you like… But then I asked my Twitter followers, and they definitely preferred Jock Jams! It wasn’t even close!
Zoe: You let your fans decide the music instead of me?!
Chance: You gotta give the people what they want, right?
Zoe: No. No you don’t. Sometimes, you have to give your fiancee what she wants.
With that, Zoe takes off her engagement ring and raises it in her fist!
Chance: Easy with that thing, Zoe. That set me back two million bucks!
Zoe: I don’t care what it cost. I don’t want it anymore. I think it’s time to give it to your true love.
With that, Zoe tosses the ring into the middle of the crowd!

The ring arcs through the air… and right into a Lakers fan’s hands! Camera crews descend on him for an interview, shoving microphones into his face!
Ethan: Looks like someone just became a millionaire!
Chance: Zoe… I… I don’t understand. What does this mean?
Zoe: It means the wedding is off. We’re done.
With that, Zoe runs for the exit, leaving Chance all alone beneath the white archway.
Chance: This was supposed to be the wedding of the century. Now it’s not even a wedding at all. I… I gotta take a few seconds.
Chance heads for the locker room, his teammates trailing behind him. As the crowd sits in stunned silence, Brian Ratzik sidles up to you.
Brian Ratzik: First of all, I just want to say I love this twist. Left at the altar! Classic! Out ratings are gonna be off the charts! But… it’s not an ending! The audience isn’t going to understand how to process what they just saw! Should they be happy or sad? Is this a comedy or a tragedy? Is this a story about a man’s ego crushing his own dreams? Or a tale of mismatched lovers?
Danny: You want me to… figure out the ending?
Brian Ratzik: We need to tell people how to feel! That’s reality television. That’s storytelling! Now get out there and say something to the crowd. We’ll be filming!
Part 7
Danny: I’d better say something to make sure this wedding special ends on a good note!
- Speech!
The crowd falls into a hush as you grab a microphone and clear your throat.
Danny: I think there’s a lesson we can all learn from today. A lesson about love. I know that the biggest question coming out of this will be… whose fault was it? A lot of people will say that Chance got carried away… But he didn’t. He was just trying to make his wedding memorable. There’s nothing wrong with wanting your wedding day to be special. Chance has always been the type of guy who does things big. I think, in the end, he and Zoe just didn’t see eye to eye on that. And speaking of Zoe… She made the right choice. Sure, it sucks to leave someone at the altar. Probably as much as it sucks to get left at the altar. But if they’d stayed together, they would’ve had to change a lot for each other. Too much. In the end, the important thing to take away is… Love is worth fighting for. Things didn’t go as planned for Chance and Zoe, but you know what? One day, they’ll look back on this day and thank each other for everything that went down. Because if they’d gotten married today, they’d never have met their true soul mates.
You give the camera a little smile, letting the audience know that everything will be okay.
Danny: I guess that what I’m trying to say, America, is that you shouldn’t be afraid to fall in love. It might hurt, it might be the scariest thing you do in your whole life… but promise me you’ll take that chance. Take a chance on love.
The audience jumps to their feet, and a deafening applause fills the Staples Center!
Brian Ratzik: Beautiful, Danny! Even my cold heart just melted a little!
Later, you head to the locker room to find Chance just as he’s leaving.
Chance: Danny… is this all a bad dream?
Danny: I’m sorry, buddy. Maybe it’s better this way. At least you didn’t end up divorced 72 days later.
Chance: That’s… a good point.
Chance walks back to one of his Laker teammates, who throws an arm around him.
Danny: Think he’ll be okay?
Brian Ratzik: He’s young, rich, and willing to throw money at anything that glitters. He’ll be lucky if he’s single for a week.
Ethan: Speaking of rich… I know this wedding thing’s kind of a bummer… maybe this can cheer you up!
Ethan holds up a check from Chance for the other five-hundred thousand dollars!
Danny: That’s… awesome.
Ethan: Awesome? Five hundred dollars is awesome. But this plus the other check means we’ve now got our million, Danny. That means from here on out, we control our own destiny. Now let me see that smile.
Danny: …
Ethan: Come on. Let me see it.
Danny: Fine. You got me.
Ethan: There it is. That, and a few measly percentage points, is what I live for.

Ethan: Before we get too excited about our next project, we should make sure you’re not going to be expelled.
Danny: Oh, crap. Do you think Zoe and Chance will still vouch for me even though the whole wedding thing didn’t work out?
Ethan: Only one way to find out. We’ll go talk to them once the dust settles a little bit.
Part 8
Ethan: You need those celebrity endorsements! You’d better check in with Chance and Zoe.
- Level 25+ Danny
A few days after the wedding, you find Zoe at her gym, where she’s pounding a punching bag with a picture of Chance taped to it.
Danny: Still working out some anger?
Zoe: I’m completely over it.
She socks the punching bag, sending it flying.
Danny: So… uh… I was going to ask about--
Zoe: Your disciplinary hearing. I know. I’ll be there.
Danny: Really? After everything that’s happened?
Zoe: None of that’s on you. It’s on Chance. Besides… I promised to help. And I never go back on my word.
Danny: Thanks, Zoe. I owe you one.
As you walk out of the gym, you find Ethan waiting in his Porsche.
Ethan: We’ve got a problem. I just saw a retweet from Jenni that Chance is hopping on a plane!
Danny: Sounds like we’d better get to LAX. Fast!
Time - 18 hours, 15 minutes
Ethan’s tired screech as he pulls into the LAX departures terminal.
Ethan: Go find Chance! We need him for your hearing!
Danny: I’ll do my best!
You run inside… and spot Chance signing autographs just outside of airport security!
Danny: Chance! I caught you just in time! Where are you going?
Chance: Zoe and I were planning to hit Barbados for our honeymoon, and the tip is nonrefundable… Luckily, I got my new friend Kandi to come with me!
Next to him, you spot a girl holding a large suitcase with the name ‘Mandi’ spelled out in rhinestones.
Danny: It’s, uh, nice to see you’re bouncing back so quickly!
Chance: No one knows how to rebound like an NBA player! I’m totally over Zoe! Totally…
Danny: Look… I understand that you’re going through a lot… but I need to know if you can make it back in time for my hearing!
Chance: Danny… I might never come back.
With that, Chance waves goodbye to his fans and walks through security. ‘Kandi’-Mandi follows close behind.
Danny: That didn’t go as planned…

You walk back outside, where Ethan is waiting for you.
Ethan: What’s with the long face? Where’s Chance? What’s going on?
Danny: Chance is… gone. I don’t have a third person to vouch for me at the hearing! I think… I think I’m going to get expelled!
Is this the end? Will you really be expelled? Keep playing to find out!
