After looking around Amour, you head back toward your dorm room with a few friends.
Ethan: Everything okay, Danny?
Danny: Things are great... I can’t wait for the big premiere party for Lisa’s video later tonight! But with that, dating, and classes, I’ve got a lot going on!
Ethan: Sorry to put one more thing on your plate... but it looks like we got another letter from your benefactor!
You open the letter and read it aloud.
Danny: ‘As your career improves, so too should Hollywood U... starting with the Fashionista Dorm.’
Addison: There’s a blueprint included! Wow! This looks awesome!
It’s time to upgrade your first building! Upgrading a building will allow it to house more students! To upgrade your Fashionista Dorm select it from the main map, then select the ‘Upgrade’ option!

Ethan: I hope your Benefactor tells you to upgrade by dorm next!
As you level up, you’ll be able to upgrade other dorms too! Keep playing to unlock new buildings and upgrades!
Rewards
Ethan: Okay, enough work. We’ve got an album release party to attend!
Danny: That’s right! Lisa’s invitation promised that this party would be insane, and coming from her, that means something!
Addison: Everyone get into your party clothes!
Part 3
Addison: Time to find the perfect outfit for Lisa’s album release party!
Special note: Complete the Yacht Party quest to get a special scene later in this storyline! You step out from behind your closet doors, showing off your new outfit to Addison and Ethan.
Danny: Well, am I party-ready?
Addison: Are you kidding? You’re party-fabulous!
Ethan: Ditto. You’re an ‘After’ photo, Danny.
Addison: What about us? How do we look?
Danny: Amazing as ever!
Addison: Good. It’s important that we look fantabulous tonight. Album release parties are magnets for all kinds of VIPs, including big-name producers.
Ethan: Getting a sit-down meeting with them is job number one.
Danny: Is there a job number two?
Ethan: Not when your future’s at stake.
Addison: Hey, power hungry hippos, don’t forget that it’s a party!
Danny: Of course! Time for some fun!
Rewards
Addison: That’s the spirit, Danny!
Danny: Wait... we can’t just show up without an entourage.
Ethan: You catch on fast. Keep talking like that, and I’ll kiss you.
Addison: Ignore him. Who do you want to bring, Danny?
Part 4
Ethan: Let’s arrive in style!
A few minutes later, you, Ethan, Addison, and the rest of your entourage are curbside... ...where a stretch Hummer is waiting for you!
Alexandra: Score! I love vehicles you can stand in!
Tegwen: There’s a full bar in here!
Alexandra: How has no one mentioned the hot tub?! There’s a HOT TUB!
Danny: Ethan: Addison? How did you get this?
Ethan: It was nothing, Danny. Just pulled a few strings. You can return the favor later.
Addison: We can’t take credit, actually.
Ethan: Ruining my fun once again, Addi.
Addison: Lisa sent it over as a ‘thank you’ for everything you did for the video.
Danny: Aww! That was so nice of her! But what are we waiting for? Let’s go!
Time - 1 hour
After a bubbles and bubbly-filled ride in the stretch Hummer, you arrive at the front doors of Club TBD!
Danny: I can hear the music from out here!
Tegwen: This is going to be the best night of my life! I know it!
Alexandra: Goodbye, hot tub. Hello, awesome!
A familiar bouncer stands guard at the front of an impossibly long line. You stride up, surrounded by your entourage.
Diego: What’s happening, Danny?
Danny: Hey, Diego! You work at Blitz and Club TBD? How’s the novel!
Diego You mean screenplay?
Danny: Oh, uh, yeah.
Diego: If you’re going to try to butter me up, at least get the deets right. That’s important around here.
Danny: Sorry, Diego. I’ll keep that in mind.
He steps aside, and you slink past, the doors to the club opening before you.
Rewards
Inside, the club has been decorated with all things Lisa Valentine!
Tegwen: Ooh! Look, there’s a statue of Lisa at the kid’s table, looking unhappy.
Alexandra: And there’s a poster of her partying while all the stuffy adults recoil in horror!
Tegwen: My favorite’s that big mural on the wall of her breaking out of her mermaid costume!
Danny: This is so cool! Lisa’s such a star!
Ethan: And you’re going to be next! I see some of those producers I mentioned earlier over by the bar. I’m going to go talk you up. Stay visible.
Addison: We will. And while Ethan’s doing what he does best, there’s no reason you and I can’t have a little fun!
Part 5
Addison: Ready for some club fun?!
You and Addison head out onto the dance floor!
Addison: Well, what do you think?!
Danny: It’s like a dream! Everyone in here’s mega hot or famous or both!
Addison: Mega-both!
Danny: Plus this music is perfect!
Addison: That’s because it’s all from Lisa’s new album!
Danny: Of course it is! Where is Lisa, anyway?
Addison: I don’t know... maybe she’s over by the champagne waterfall...
Danny: Champagne waterfall?! Why are we here when that’s over there?!
Addison leads you over to a gigantic model cliff, where champagne pours out over the edge and down into a beautiful golden pool!
Danny: I have never been more tempted by nature.
Addison: Neither have I!
You walk past the champagne waterfall... ...and find a table covered in chocolate covered strawberries and tiny ramekins full of creme brulee!
Danny: Now this is what I’m talking about.
Just then, you see Crash jump into the champagne waterfall and open his mouth.
Crash: FILL ME WITH YOUR CRAZY BUBBLES, WATERFALL!
Addison: Good choice, skipping the champagne!

Suddenly the lights go out, the music changes, and a spotlight finds Lisa sitting on a swing high above the club floor! Everyone cheers!
Lisa: Welcome my fans, my friends, my Valentines... to the release party of my new album, ‘Grown-up’! Not only are we here celebrating its release, but surprise surprise, we’re also debuting the music video to the number one single!
Amid cheers, Lisa flips out of the swing and lands perfectly onto a rising stage!
Lisa: But before we show it, I have to bring up someone very near and dear to my heart! Please give it up for Danny!
Danny: Me?!
As the crowd applauds, Lisa waves you up onstage!
Addison: What are you waiting for, Danny? Get up there!
Part 6
Lisa: The video’s about to premiere!
You hop up onto the stage, the spotlight shining on you and Lisa!
Lisa: I couldn’t have made the video without the artistry of my good friend, Danny, the next big thing in Hollywood! Danny directed the totally amazeballs video you’re about to see! And now, before I blab you all to sleep... let’s see it! The premiere of ‘Grown-up’!
A curtain on the far wall parts, revealing a gigantic screen. Lisa squeezes your hand.
Lisa: This is it! I’m so nervous!
Danny: Me too. But they’re gonna love it, Lisa! Just watch!
This quest has a special bonus reward. The quest will be ready to collect in 1 hour and 20 minutes. Come back and claim it within 2 hours to get the bonus!
Time - 1 hours, 20 minutes
Lisa’s music video plays on the gigantic screen, starting with Lisa at the kids’ table in Chris’s mansion. The audience laughs at her pouty face.
Lisa: I love this part!
The music kicks in, and Lisa flips the table, sending food flying as she starts to sing!
Lisa: People say it’s just a stage... growing up in Hollywood is all the rage... but now it’s time to turn that page!
A little while later, as the party rages, Crash leaps out, the audience gasping as he falls into the water below.
Crash: Cowabunga!
Finally, the video ends with Chris coming home and seeing everyone passed out on the floor.
Chris: What the hell?
Danny: Eep! Do you think they liked it?
As the last note fades, a silence lingers for one moment... then the crowd explodes with applause!
Lisa: I’m pretty sure they loved it!
You and Lisa step down into the crowd, where everyone showers you with compliments, begging for your attention! In the chaos, you feel a purposeful tapping on your shoulder and turn to face... Holly Chang! She puts her finger to her lips.
Holly: I’m not here. I don’t go to these ‘events’.
Danny: Uh, then what are you doing here?
Holly: I saw the end of the video with Mr. Winters, a bold move veering from my script... Be careful about changing a writer’s script. Some of us can be quite... sensitive.
Danny: Holly, I--
Holly: That’s all I have to say. I’ll be in touch.
Holly disappears into the crowd. A second later, Addison comes up to you.
Addison: I’m so happy to you! You got your first big break, Danny! We should celebrate all night!
Rewards
Through the crowd, you see Ethan sitting with on of the producers from earlier.
Brian Ratzik: ...
Danny: Do you know who Ethan’s talking to, Addi?
When Addison sees him, her face whitens.
Addison: Uh, no. Sorry, Danny, I’m suddenly not feeling well. Too much champagne or something. I need some water.
Danny: Oh, you can get some from the bar right over--
But Addison makes a beeline for the bar at the far end of the club.
Danny: Weird. Something’s definitely up with Addison and that guy...
You start to head after her, but Ethan grabs your arm.
Ethan: Danny! This is it. Come meet your destiny, courtesy of yours truly.
Part 7
Ethan: Ready for your big moment, Danny?
Ethan drapes his arm around you, whispering in your ear as you walk over to the producer...
Ethan: His name is Brian Ratzik. He’s an executive producer over at Galactic Pictures. And, oh yeah, you love to play golf.
Danny: What? But I don’t--
Ethan: Roll with it. Now get your game face on. This is what we’ve been working toward.
You and Ethan arrive at the executive producer’s table.
Ethan: Danny, this is Brian. Brian, this is the white-hot young talent Lisa brought up on stage, my good friend and client, Danny.
Brian Ratzik: I’m happy to meet you, Danny.
Danny: As am I, Mr Ratzik.
Brian Ratzik: I appreciate the respect, but call me Brian, Danny. I saw the music video. Very impressive work. You’ve got a lot of potential.
Ethan: Potential? My three-year old nephew has potential. Danny’s kicking butt, taking names, and making hotter-than-hot music videos!
Brian Ratzik: Relax, Ethan. I see that your client is talented.
Danny: Thank you, Brian. I’m curious, what is the next project over at Galactic Pictures!
Brian Ratzik: You’ve done your homework! Anyway, we’re working on a new film called ‘Tenth Planet’. A space opera about a conflict between Earth and a mysterious planet that decloaks next to ours...
Ethan starts to speak, but Brian shushes him with a hand.
Brian Ratzik: I’ll spare you and Ethan any further sucking up. I’ve got A-list talent on this all around. It’s out of your league, Danny.
Danny: Oh...
Brian Ratzik: But you keep working your way up the ladder. Something small opens up, you’ll be at the top of my list. How’s that sound?
Danny: That sounds... actually pretty great!
Brian Ratzik: A wise person knows when to lay-up and take the bogey.
Danny: Well, that’s golf!
Brian Ratzik: Ethan said you play a mean game. We’ll have to go out and play a round some time.
Danny: Absolutely!
Brian Ratzik: Anyway, stay in touch.
As Brian starts to leave, you see him take a look across the club, at Aria Sheridan!
Aria: ...
Brian Ratzik: Her family’s helped to produce some of Galactic’s biggest features.
Danny: Do you want to meet her?
Brian Ratzik: You know her?
Danny: Of course! We’re good friends.
You get Aria’s attention and call her over. She runs up and gives you a huge hug.
Aria: Isn’t this party craze-mazing?!
Ethan: It is, it is. Oh, hey, Aria. what do you think of Danny?
Aria: You mean the best person ever?! We had quite the adventure on my yacht! We even sang together! And when my yacht was threatened by a huge storm, Danny was like the calmest one of all of us. They say you can always tell a person’s character by how they act in rough waters!
Brian Ratzik: I’ll keep that in mind. Would you do me a favor, Aria, and tell your parents that Brian Ratzik says hello and that I’d like to do lunch with them?
Aria: Of course! They’d love that! Anyway, there’s partying to be done. I’m going to go dance till I fall over!
Aria dances her way over to the dance floor.
Brian Ratzik: A surprising, unexpected connection. I won’t forget this.
Danny: It was nothing.
Brian Ratzik: Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go see if I can convince a supermodel that I’m George Clooney. You’ve got to appreciate the little things in life.

Afterwards...
Ethan: So, what’d you think about your first exec meeting, Danny?
Danny: Best day ever! Oh wait, except for Addison...
Ethan: What’s wrong with Addi?
Just then you spot Addison slipping out a side door!
Danny: I’ll tell you later!
You race after her!
Part 8
Danny: I’ve gotta catch Addison!
You rush out of the club, just in time to find Addison hailing a cab.
Danny: Addison! Wait! I can tell you’re upset... what happened?
Addison: I... I thought you knew.
Danny: Knew about what?
Addison: About me and Brian Ratzik...
Time - 1 hours, 40 minutes
Danny: What happened with you and Brian Ratzik?
Addison: I... don’t like talking about it. It’s not a happy story... But I will tell you that when I first started at Hollywood U, I was actually trying to be a movie star... I did a couple of indie movies. Then I finally got my big break. A supporting role in Ratzik’s movie, ‘Far Side of the Sun’.
Danny: That movie was huge! But wait... you weren’t in it.
Addison: No... not after what happened.
Danny: Addison... you can tell me.
Addison: Maybe. Maybe some other time. But not tonight. Tonight is supposed to be about you. Your big premiere. We’ll talk later, Danny. I promise.
A cab stops, and Addison gets in. It drives off into the night.
Danny: Addison...
Chris: Danny... is everything okay?
Danny: Chris?
Chris: You look pretty down... what happened?
Danny: Something’s wrong with Addison... and I don’t quite know what it is... or how to fix it.
Chris: You really care about her, don’t you?
Danny: She’s a good friend.
Chris: Yet another reason to be in our camp, Danny.

Chris: You’re sure you’re okay?
Danny: I think so. My head is kind of spinning, to be honest. The more I find out about life here, the more I wonder if I can really make it. It sounds like Addison hit a speed bump on her way to becoming an actress and never recovered. Could something like that happen to me?
Chris: You’ll make it. I know you will. But no one said it would be easy, right? Ahem, one of us might have spent two years modeling underwear in a Wal-Mart catalogue before their big break!
Danny: No way! You did that?!
Chris: It paved the way for where I am today. And I got some great discounts on boxer-briefs. So... smile. You’ve got at least one friend around here: me. And I know your big break is just around the corner.
Is your big break really coming soon? What’s going on with Addison?! Keep playing the main quest to find out!
Ethan: A building just for dating? This is my kind of campus!

Ethan: What’s wrong with Addi?
Just then you spot Addison slipping out a side door!
Danny: I’ll tell you later!
You race after her!
Part 8
Danny: I’ve gotta catch Addison!
- Addison
You rush out of the club, just in time to find Addison hailing a cab.
Danny: Addison! Wait! I can tell you’re upset... what happened?
Addison: I... I thought you knew.
Danny: Knew about what?
Addison: About me and Brian Ratzik...
Time - 1 hours, 40 minutes
Danny: What happened with you and Brian Ratzik?
Addison: I... don’t like talking about it. It’s not a happy story... But I will tell you that when I first started at Hollywood U, I was actually trying to be a movie star... I did a couple of indie movies. Then I finally got my big break. A supporting role in Ratzik’s movie, ‘Far Side of the Sun’.
Danny: That movie was huge! But wait... you weren’t in it.
Addison: No... not after what happened.
Danny: Addison... you can tell me.
Addison: Maybe. Maybe some other time. But not tonight. Tonight is supposed to be about you. Your big premiere. We’ll talk later, Danny. I promise.
A cab stops, and Addison gets in. It drives off into the night.
Danny: Addison...
Chris: Danny... is everything okay?
Danny: Chris?
Chris: You look pretty down... what happened?
Danny: Something’s wrong with Addison... and I don’t quite know what it is... or how to fix it.
Chris: You really care about her, don’t you?
Danny: She’s a good friend.
Chris: Yet another reason to be in our camp, Danny.

Chris: You’re sure you’re okay?
Danny: I think so. My head is kind of spinning, to be honest. The more I find out about life here, the more I wonder if I can really make it. It sounds like Addison hit a speed bump on her way to becoming an actress and never recovered. Could something like that happen to me?
Chris: You’ll make it. I know you will. But no one said it would be easy, right? Ahem, one of us might have spent two years modeling underwear in a Wal-Mart catalogue before their big break!
Danny: No way! You did that?!
Chris: It paved the way for where I am today. And I got some great discounts on boxer-briefs. So... smile. You’ve got at least one friend around here: me. And I know your big break is just around the corner.
Is your big break really coming soon? What’s going on with Addison?! Keep playing the main quest to find out!
