Part 1
Lisa: Let’s celebrate New Year’s Eve the best way possible!
The day before New Year’s Eve, you and your friends say your farewells to Lisa at the LAX airport.
Lisa: Well this is it… I’m off to play New Year’s Eve in Times Square. This is my biggest gig yet, and it’s all thanks to you guys. That music video got me a lot of attention!
Ethan: Make sure to buy us plenty of ‘I Love New York’ t-shirts as a thank-you present.
Lisa: I just wish I knew where my backup dancers were… they should’ve been here like an hour ago!
Just then, Lisa’s phone buzzes.
Lisa: Uh oh.
Danny: What’s wrong?
Lisa: Well, I found out where my backup dancers are… I guess they had a late start and aren’t going to make it in time for the flight.
Danny: Oh, I’m sorry, Lisa… can the concert still happen?
Lisa: It can… because you’re all going to be my backup dancers!
Danny: Whoa, what? I don’t know about that…
Lisa: Oh, come on, Danny! It’ll be fun! And you could always use some time in the spotlight, you know?
Addison: It would be pretty cool to actually be there when the Times Square Ball drops…
Crash: I’m down!
Holly: I could be convinced. Without much effort, actually.
Lisa: And besides, look at all the celebs boarding my flight! Who could pass up a chance to party with supermodel Victoria Swenson?
Victoria: …
Crash: Whoa, is that Zoe Rodriguez in line behind her? She did all her own stunts in ‘Bullet Train’! She’s, like, the perfect killing machine!
Zoe: …
Ethan: Not to mention Chance Duncan, the hottest rookie in the NBA.
Chance: …
Ethan: And I heard from one of my many trusted sources that Chris Winters just wrapped filming on a movie in NYC and is going to be ringing int the New Year in Times Square…
Lisa: Please, Danny? Don’t make me fly all the way across the country by myself!
Danny: Well, I suppose I didn’t have any other plans…
You and your friends buy tickets at the front gate, and soon you’re all waiting at the terminal to board the plane.
Lisa: Thank you thank you thank you! We’re going to tear Times Square up, Danny!
Danny: Sounds good to me.
Lisa: Hold on, what are we waiting here for? I can get us into the VIP lounge!
Ethan: You had me at VIP.
You follow Lisa to a swanky lounge with plush sofas, widescreen TVs, and a wait staff serving artisanal espresso drinks. Lisa grabs two espresso shots from a passing waiter and downs both!
Lisa: Woo! Let’s get this party started!
Crash: Shots! Shots! Shots! Er, espresso shots.
Addison: Uh, you guys realize we’re about to board a five-hour flight, right? You might want to lay off the caffeine…
Lisa: No sleep ‘till Manhattan!
Rewards
Soon, the gate opens, and you and your friends leave the VIP lounge to claim seats in first class.
Danny: Hmm… who should I sit with?
Part 2
Danny: Who wants to sit with me on the flight?
You, Alexandra, and Tegwen strap into seats in first class.
Alexandra: Woo! Leg room for days!
Tegwen: First class is the only way to travel.
Danny: Agreed!
Alexandra: Can I interest anyone in some champagne?
Danny: I’ll stick with sparkling apple cider!
A flight attendant brings you a crystalline glass filled to the brim with sparkling apple cider.
Alexandra: Um, that looks amazing. Forget champagne, I want what Danny’s having!
Danny: It’s a classic for a reason.
Soon, you and your friends are all dozing off as your plane travels over the Midwest. On each seat’s personal television screen, the first in-flight movie, ‘The Last Lumberjack’, comes to an end…
Chris: Damn it, Martha, don’t you see what this means? There’s nobody else left. I’m the last lumberjack.
Tegwen: Man, that line always gets me…
The scene fades to black, and the intro of the next in-flight movie starts. A goose wearing sunglasses and riding a skateboard appears onscreen, dropping one-liners while fleeing an animal control van.
Alexandra: Loose Goose: Gander’s Game? You’ve got to be kidding me.
Danny: This might be a good time to take a nap…
Time - 2 hours
You wake with a jolt as the landing wheel hits the tarmac. Outside your window, NYC glitters in the night.
Alexandra: Wake up, Danny! We’re here!
Tegwen: And our limo driver is waiting for us!
Danny: Wh-wha? We have a limo?
You pile into the limo with your friends and find it stocked with authentic New York pizza!
Crash: Pizza limo! Pizza limo! Pizza limo!
Tegwen: I never knew until now how badly I wanted a pizza limo in my life!
You and your friends enjoy the sights, sounds, and pizza of New York City as your driver heads toward Times Square. At last, you arrive and find a massive crowd gathered in the square, including a few familiar faces…
Rewards
Among the crowd, you spot Victoria Swenson, Zoe Rodriguez, and Chance Duncan!
Alexandra: Whoa! There are so many celebs here!
Victoria: Hello, NYC! You all look gorgeous tonight!
Zoe: Woo! Turn up!
Chance: Who wants to see my dunk this Times Square Ball?
Alexandra: Whoa, look who’s coming over here! Is that who I think it is?!
Chris: Danny, great to see you! What brings you all the way to New York?
Danny: Oh, well…
Just then, Lisa takes the stage and speaks into the mic!
Lisa: HELLLLOOOOO TIMES SQUARE! ARE YOU READY TO RING IN THE NEW YEAR?!
Danny: There’s you answer.
Chris: I see. Looks like this is gonna be a night to remember…
Part 3
Lisa: Let’s get this party started!
You and your friends party with the rest of Time Square as Lisa performs her new single, ‘Kiss Kiss’!
Lisa: I walk in looking like this, this! And babe I know you wanna kiss, kiss!
Addison: Woo, go Lisa!
Danny: Wait, aren’t we supposed to be her backup dancers?
Ethan: We’ll go on later in the setlist. Let’s let her enjoy the spotlight a bit.
Addison: Is anyone else getting a bit thirsty? Where can we get a drink?
Ethan: I think I saw a refreshments table back that way. Anyone else want something?
Danny: Yeah, I’ll come. Crash, Holly?
Crash: Are you kidding? Dance till yo dehydrate, that’s my motto.
Holly: Uh, I don’t endorse that, but I’m not thirsty. Thanks, though.
You, Ethan, and Addison head toward a table stacked high with free food and drinks. On the way back to your spot in the crow, you pass a cordoned off area where the wealthy and famous guests mingle.
Victoria: So, Bianca Stone… you’re Desiree’s sister, right?
Chance: Nice! Anyone related to Desiree Stone is all right by me.
Zoe: Everyone’s all right by you, Chance.
Jenni: Um… do you think I could get a selfie with you guys?
Bianca: Jenni!
Chance: No, it’s totally cool. Make sure you tag me in this though.
Jenni: You got it!
Shae: Uh oh. Look who’s here, Bianca.
Bianca sees you and your friends and comes over to sneer at you across the velvet rope.
Bianca: Are you really so obsessed with us that you had to follow us to the other side of the country?
Lance Sergio: My new year is ruined!
Jenni: Don’t worry, Lance. It’s not like Danny and the loser brigade can bother us from the poor people seats.
Danny: What are you even talking about? Lisa invited us here personally.
Bianca: Friendship’s great, but it’s nowhere near as valuable as money and influence. We’ll be close enough to touch the Times Square Ball.
Jenni: Maybe you can watch us on one of the big TV screens they put up for the unwashed masses?
Danny: Oh yeah? Well, you’ll be watching us on those screens when we’re up there with Lisa!
Bianca: Like I care. Do you really think that makes me jealous? I’m a VIP, what could you possibly do to upset me right now?
Danny: I’m going to make out with your boyfriend.
You grab Lance by the collar and pull him into a kiss.
Lance Sergio: Danny, what are you doing! And where did you learn how to do that with your tongue?
Bianca shoves you off Lance and slaps him in the face.
Lance Sergio: Ow.
Bianca: Security! This creep just attacked my boyfriend!
You suddenly feel cold metal on your wrists as a cop working security cuffs you!
Danny: Oh crap.
Jenni: It wasn’t just Danny! Those two helped plan the attack!
Ethan and Addison are cuffed, too, and the three of you are thrown into the back of a police cruiser to cool off!
Rewards
You, Ethan, and Addison struggle to find a comfortable seating arrangement in the backseat of the police car.
Danny: Well, this isn’t what I imagined when Lisa said we’d be spending New Year’s Eve in Times Square.
Ethan: At least we’ll have a good view of the Times Square Ball through the window of this cop car…
Addison: This is such bull! Those cops only listened to Bianca because her dad’s rich!
Danny: Well, it’s not the first time Bianca’s used her dad’s influence to ruin our lives… But it’d better be the last.
Part 4
Addison: I guess I can cross spending New Year’s Eve in police custody off my bucket list…
You look out the window of the police cruiser at all the people partying in Times Square…
Danny: When do you think they’ll let us out? They’re not arresting us, are they?
Ethan: Nah, they just don’t want us ruining Little Miss Spoiled’s night. We’ll just have to wait it out.
Addison: Still, though… we’re basically ending the year in a cop car. Maybe we need to make some changes for next year.
Danny: I think you mean New Year’s resolutions.
Addison: Right, that’s what those are called. So, does everything have New Year’s resolutions to share?
Danny: Hmmmm… let me think…
Time - 4 hours
Addison: So, Ethan… do you have any New Year’s resolutions?
Ethan: Okay, first of all, I’m gonna get my Porsche regularly waxed. Why have a Porsche if it’s not gleaming, right?
Danny: Right, totally.
Ethan: Second, I’m gonna make more time for you guys… as my friends, I mean, not as my clients. Since in this case my clients are my friends, it’s easy to forget that spending time with you as your agent isn’t the same as being there for you as a friend.
Danny: I’m looking forward to it. What about you, Addison?
Addison: Hmm… I had an idea for a project, but it’s kind of silly…
Danny: No judgement here. We’re both in handcuffs, after all.
Addison: Well, I’d like to really dig into fashion design. Maybe start my own line or something.
Danny: That’s a great idea! I’d totally buy clothes you designed!
Addison: Thanks, Danny. Related to that, there’s a lot of things I want to tell my mom. She still doesn’t know I switched majors… and this might be my last chance to tell her.
Danny: Addison…
Addison: It’s okay, Danny. It’s good to admit these things to yourself, you know?
Danny: I think so.
Addison: Here, you try. What resolutions do you have for next year?
Danny: My resolution? Well… I’m all about romance for 2015! Love is the most important thing in the world. Without it, you’ve got nothing.
Addison: I didn’t know you were such a romantic, Danny.
Danny: Don’t tell anyone. Or do, if they’re single.
Rewards
Just as you finish exchanging resolutions, you hear a tap on the window!
Lisa: That’s them! How could you arrest my backup dancers?! I need them for the show!
The cops struggle to explain their mistake, but--
Lisa: Oh, really? My dancers were harassing guests? Guess what, genius… they’re also my hype men! They were just trying to pump up the crowd, maybe start a mosh pit or two!
Danny: Yeah, we weren’t being rude, we were just doing our hype men duties!
The cops allow you to leave with Lisa, but their suspicious gaze trails you through the crowd.
Lisa: It looks like they didn’t completely buy it… I guess we’d better get up there and dance!
Danny: Whoa, what?! We haven’t even practiced or anything!
Part 5
Lisa: Let’s take the stage!
You, Ethan, and Addison troop out onstage, wearing Lisa Valentine t-shirts and sweatpants.
Danny: Um, are we seriously not going to practice first?
Lisa: No time, Danny! Just follow my lead and sell every move.
Lisa takes the mic and waves to the massive crowd filling Times Square.
Lisa: Sorry for the delay, everyone! I just had to rescue some of my backup dancers who got a little too rowdy… We’re just a few minutes away from midnight, so let’s kick it old school! A lot of you will recognize this song, so do not hesitate to sing along!
Lisa’s drummer counts off, and the band launches into an upbeat, pop version of Auld Lang Syne!
Lisa: Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne?
As the beat picks up, Lisa drops low and starts to roll her body upward! You drop low! You drop low and slowly roll your body up, raising your hands as the beat reaches a crescendo!
Danny: On your feet, everybody!
Ethan: Nice moves, Danny!
Lisa: Uh oh! It’s about to drop!
Lisa’s DJ drops a rapid-fire, bass-heavy beat on Times Square! The crowd develops into a massive mosh pit!
Lisa: FOR AULD LANG SYNE, MY DEAR, FOR AULD LANG SYNE!
Lisa gyrates in place, spinning and thrusting her hips from side to side! You gyrate in place! You spin in place, rolling your hips from side to side!
Danny: These hips don’t lie!
Addison: Very sexy, Danny!
Lisa: IT’S ALMOST MIDNIGHT, EVERYONE!
With one minute left till midnight, you, Ethan, and Addison spiral into the middle of the stage, where the button for the Times Square Ball is!
Lisa: FIVE!
Ethan: FOUR!
Addison: THREE!
Danny: TWO!
Lisa: ONE!
Lisa slaps her hand onto the button, and your hands pile up on top of hers! The Times Square Ball starts its descent!
Lisa: HAPPY NEW YEAR, NYC!
You, Lisa, Ethan, and Addison walk down from the stage amid cheers and applause as the Times Square Ball drops!
Rewards
Danny: Yes, yes, that was us. We did that.
Ethan: Another year has started. You’re welcome.
Addison: Happy New Year, everyone!
Crash: Hey, nice job, Danny!
Holly: You guys were great!
Danny: Where were you guys? You were supposed to dance, too!
Crash: We didn’t want to cramp your style!
Bianca and her entourage look on enviously as the crowd lifts you and your friends up while fireworks explode overhead!
Bianca: Oh, like you’re so great. Anyone can hit a button.
Lance Sergio: Whoa, you guys are so cool!
Bianca: Lance, what the hell?
Lance Sergio: Sorry…
Jenni: Ugh, Twitter is exploding with tweets about Lisa Valentine and her backup dancers! And they’re all positive!
Shae: What a tragedy.
The crowd carries you all over Square, showering you in confetti and glitter!
Lisa: Put us down! It’s midnight! We have to find people to make out with!
Part 6
Lisa: Making out with random people is a New Year’s Eve tradition! Or, it should be…
Finally, the crowd places you on your feet in the center of Times Square.
Danny: Oh right, making out on New Year’s Eve… that’s a thing.
You find Ethan in the crowd and beckon him near.
Ethan: I’ve been looking for you…
Danny: You have? What for?
Ethan: Just wanted to collect on my ten percent…
Ethan leans in and kisses you, then suddenly pulls back!
Danny: What’s wrong?
Ethan: You’re only kissing me five percent. I thought my rate was ten!
Danny: How’s a hundred percent sound?
Ethan: You’ve got yourself a deal.
You pull Ethan close and kiss him fiercely, the two of you swaying under the fireworks as Times Square reverberates with New Year’s Eve celebrations!
Rewards
On the flight back, you start to doze off while ‘The Last Lumberjack’ plays again…
Danny: So tired… must sleep…
You drift off…
Danny: Where are the trees?! I’ll cut them all down! I am the last lumberjack!
Holly: Whoa, Danny, it was just a dream!
Danny: Whew. That was a weird one.
Lisa: What’s wrong, Danny? Too much partying?
Danny: Something like that…
Addison: By the way, thanks for inviting us to your concert, Lisa. It was awesome!
Ethan: And thanks for bailing us out… it would’ve really sucked to spend the rest of New Year’s Eve in that cop car.
Lisa: Don’t mention it. Thanks for being my backup dancers for the evening.
Danny: Well, happy New Year everyone. I’m going to start this one right… with a long nap. Wake me up when we’re in L.A.!
Lisa: Sounds good to me!
Lisa: Let’s celebrate New Year’s Eve the best way possible!

- Level Danny
Finally, the crowd places you on your feet in the center of Times Square.
Danny: Oh right, making out on New Year’s Eve… that’s a thing.
You find Ethan in the crowd and beckon him near.
Ethan: I’ve been looking for you…
Danny: You have? What for?
Ethan: Just wanted to collect on my ten percent…
Ethan leans in and kisses you, then suddenly pulls back!
Danny: What’s wrong?
Ethan: You’re only kissing me five percent. I thought my rate was ten!
Danny: How’s a hundred percent sound?
Ethan: You’ve got yourself a deal.
You pull Ethan close and kiss him fiercely, the two of you swaying under the fireworks as Times Square reverberates with New Year’s Eve celebrations!

On the flight back, you start to doze off while ‘The Last Lumberjack’ plays again…
Danny: So tired… must sleep…
You drift off…
Danny: Where are the trees?! I’ll cut them all down! I am the last lumberjack!
Holly: Whoa, Danny, it was just a dream!
Danny: Whew. That was a weird one.
Lisa: What’s wrong, Danny? Too much partying?
Danny: Something like that…
Addison: By the way, thanks for inviting us to your concert, Lisa. It was awesome!
Ethan: And thanks for bailing us out… it would’ve really sucked to spend the rest of New Year’s Eve in that cop car.
Lisa: Don’t mention it. Thanks for being my backup dancers for the evening.
Danny: Well, happy New Year everyone. I’m going to start this one right… with a long nap. Wake me up when we’re in L.A.!
Lisa: Sounds good to me!
