Part 1
Chris: Will you be my date to my film premiere, Danny?
It’s Friday evening, and you’re spending your date night at LAX, waiting for…
Danny: Chris!
Chris: Danny!
You run to him, and he pulls you into a huge hug!
Danny: I’m so glad you’re back!
Chris: Me too. I missed you.
He pulls back just enough to look at your face before leaning in to kiss you.
Chris: Mmmm…
Megan: Aww, you guys are adorable!
Danny: Megan?
You both pull away as Megan Moore walks over, smiling broadly. She gives you a friendly wave and stops to stand between you and Chris.
Danny: I wasn’t expecting you.
Megan: Well, Chris and I are on the press junket. Travelling from city to city to promote the movie? I’m so glad we’re in this together.
Danny: I bet.
Megan: You must be sick of me by now, Chris…
Chris: What are you talking about? You were great. I could never have endured that flight without my partner in crime.
Megan: I know what you mean. At the end there, I think we were even finishing each other’s…
Chris: Peanuts?
The both start laughing.
Danny: What’s so funny?
Megan: Ha ha… it’s just… ha… this hilarious thing happened on the plane…
Chris: Megan opened up her pack of peanuts, but they basically exploded everywhere! One even ended up in our flight attendant’s hair…
Megan: Never mind, Danny. You just really had to be there… and I guess you weren’t.
Chris: But that doesn’t matter now. I’m glad to be back home. It’ll be nice to spend time with you.
Danny: How long do I have you for, Chris?
Chris: Not long, I’m afraid. I’m only here for the L.A. premiere tomorrow night, and then we have to fly out again to the next city.
You step around Megan and put an arm around Chris.
Danny: Then we’d better make the most of it.
Chris: That’s the Danny I love. Will you come to the premiere with me tomorrow night and be my date on the red carpet? I know I already asked you in Thailand, but it’s been a while and I wanted to make sure… are you in?
Megan: Don’t worry, Danny… if you can’t make it, I’d be happy to take Chris off your hands!
Danny: I’m sure you would…
Danny: Chris, I would love to be your date.
Chris: Great. I’ll pick you up tomorrow night!
Rewards
In your dorm room the next evening, Addison helps you get ready for the premiere!
Addison: I’m so happy for you, Danny. You’re going to the premiere of the hottest action movie this year as Chris Winters’ date! This is a big deal!
Danny: I know… it isn’t every day you get to walk down the red carpet with an A-list movie star.
Addison: It’s more than that, Danny… Chris Winters has never taken a date to a premiere!
Danny: That can’t be true.
Addison: It is! I mean, sometimes he’ll do something sweet and go with his mom, and of course he’ll pose for photos with his co-stars… but he’s never brought a date date! You’re the first!
Danny: I didn’t even realize… well, now I’m more excited to be going… I just wish Megan wasn’t.
Addison: Forget Megan! Chris told you he loved you and asked you to be his date… Now come on, you need to wear something amazing. Something that will make Chris forget he ever even met Megan! Show me your best red carpet look!
Part 2
Danny: I have to look hot for this premiere!
Dressed in your finest, you head outside… where Chris is waiting with a limo.
Chris: Wow, you look fantastic.
Danny: Thanks! You don’t look so bad yourself.
Chris: I try.
You notice storm clouds overhead as Chris holds the door open for you.
Danny: Wow, it’s rare to see such dark skies in L.A.
Chris: Maybe we’ll get some much-needed rain. We could really use some in this drought.
The two of your cuddle together on the leather loveseat in the back of the limo.
Danny: So where are we going for dinner?
Chris: A five-star restaurant with a jungle theme. It matches the movie.
Danny: That sounds nice. A fake jungle… delicious food… the two of us…
Chris: …and the entire cast and crew of the movie. Sorry, Danny.
Danny: No worries. I can’t think of anything more romantic than a room full of people.
Chris: Heh. Well, there’s no one here now…
He pulls you in for a deep kiss as the limo drives on.
Danny: Mmmmm…
A short while later… You arrive at the restaurant! The dining room is decorated like a lush jungle with broad trees, vivid green leaves, and lights on woven vines. You and Chris walk to the dinner tables and find yourselves in a cozy, candlelit nook partially obscured by banana leaves. A well-dressed man walks by, and Chris suddenly stiffens.
Keegan: …
Danny: Chris? Are you okay?
Chris: Huh? Yeah. Fine.
Danny: You can talk to me, Chris.
Chris: There’s no problem. It’s just… that guy who just walked by. That was Keegan Welch.
Danny: The actor? I take it you’re not a fan.
Chris: Let’s just say we have some history… But forget about him. I’m focused on you, the most stunning date in the room. I really missed you.
Danny: I missed you too. Especially these last few weeks… I didn’t get to hear from you much.
Chris: Things on set got really busy at the end. I didn’t get much down time, and when I did have time, it always seemed way too early to call you here.
Danny: Ugh, timezones.
Chris: Exactly. So in my free time, I volunteered more at the elephant rescue farm… and I adopted Sunee.
Danny: The elephant we met when I visited last time? She seemed really sweet.
Chris: Yeah, she is.
Danny: So do you just have an elephant living in your backyard now?
Chris: Not quite. I have the rescue farm my last paycheck to take care of her and all of the other elephants. It seemed like the right thing to do.
Danny: Aww, Chris…
Chris: And that brings me to what I wanted to talk about next. I have a gift for you from Thailand…
Danny: Ooh! What is it?
Chris brings out a photo from his jacket pocked and shows it to you. It’s of Sunee the elephant, and she’s nuzzling an adorable baby elephant!
Chris: That’s Sunee’s baby… Danny.
Danny: You named it after me?
Chris: I hope you don’t mind… Danny the elephant is just so beautiful and fun, the name seemed to fit.
Danny: Aww, Chris!
You throw your arms around him and kiss him!
Rewards
After you finish with your meal, you and Chris move to the bar area of the restaurant to visit with his costars and crew. Megan, elephant in a stunning floor-length gown, comes up to greet you. She kisses Chris on the cheek and gives you a lukewarm wave.
Megan: There you two are! I didn’t really get a chance to say hello when you arrived, and then you completely disappeared during dinner!
Danny: We had a really cozy corner all to ourselves.
Megan: Of course you did, you lovebirds. And you really should try to spend all the time you can together right now since you won’t be able to later.
Danny: What do you mean?
Megan: Oh! Chris didn’t tell you?
Danny: I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but it must have slipped his mind between catching up with me and showering me with presents.
Chris reaches down to hold your hand while Megan plasters a smile on her face.
Chris: I didn’t want to spoil the evening, but Megan and I have some promotional work to do for the movie tonight.
Megan: We’re introducing the movie together, taking the time to thank our crew and everyone, and generally talking the movie up with the media.
Chris: Yeah, I’m hoping it won’t take too long. I really want to spend some time with you.
Megan: Well, we should really run along to the premiere now! Chris and I are on a tight schedule.
Chris: Great! Let’s go!
Part 3
Chris: Time to walk the red carpet together!
Your limo stops at the curb outside the theater. Valets hold umbrellas over the celebrities as they walk the red carpet in the drizzle.
Chris: Megan’s slated to walk out first, and then it’s out turn. You ready for this?
Danny: Oh yeah!
The limo doors open, and through them, you can see Megan starting her walk up the red carpet to raucous cheers and dazzling lights.
Megan: Good evening, everyone!
Then you and Chris step out of the limo and are immediately bombarded by the paparazzi.
Chris: Hello, Hollywood!
He links his arms with yours as your stride down the red carpet. At the promotional backdrop, you and Chris stop for a photograph and are met with rapid-fire questions by the crowd! ‘Chris! Chris, did you finally bring a date to the premiere?! Who’s the lucky man?’
Chris: Come on, Danny. Let’s introduce you to the press!
Time - 4 hours
You and Chris pose on the red carpet as the paparazzi pepper you both with questions. ‘Over here, Chris! Who’s your lucky date?’
Chris: You want to know? This is Danny!
Danny: It’s nice to meet you!
Chris: Danny is one of Hollywood U’s best and brightest!
Chris wraps an arm around your waist and pulls you close. He kisses you on the cheek sweetly as the cameras flash!
Chris: How’s it feel being the center of attention?
Danny: You know, I kind of like it. Especially when you’re around.
The paparazzi crowd around you, asking questions. ‘Hey, Danny! What’s your relationship with Chris? How did the two of you meet?’
Danny: It’s our secret!
Chris: Maybe someday we’ll tell the whole story!
‘Danny, what’s your favorite thing about Chris?’
Danny: Now that one’s easy. My favorite thing about Chris is his heart. Chris is the kindest guy you’ll ever meet. He’s a sweetheart, and he’s special.
Chris: Thanks, Danny… you’re pretty special yourself.
Several people in the crowd ‘awwww’, and the paparazzi snap more photos.
Rewards
You and Chris walk into the theater, catching up with Megan.
Megan: So how’d Danny handle himself out there? It can get a little overwhelming if it’s your first time.
Danny: I managed. Somehow.
Chris: Danny did great!
Megan: Oh. Good. I’m so glad.
Chris: Looks like I’ve got myself a winner here… I wish I could take you to every premiere…
Danny: Who says you can’t?
Megan: If only! Well, on that note… unfortunately, Danny. I’m going to have to steal Chris from you now. We’re due backstage.
Danny: Sure. As long as you return him.
Megan: No promises.
Chris reaches into his jacket pocket, pulls out some tickets, and presses them into your hand.
Chris: Danny, find our seats, settle in. I’ll join you as soon as I can.
Danny: All right. See you.
Chris moves backstage. Megan starts to follow… then stops, shooting you a too-sweet smile.
Megan: You know, I don’t know how you do it. It’d be so frustrating if I were Chris’s date and all I could do was watch from the sidelines…
Danny: That’s not what I’m doing.
Megan: Isn’t it? Well, it’s just so cute how supportive you are. You’re like Chris’s little sidekick! Anyway, enjoy the show, Danny!
She turns on one diamond-encrusted heel to catch up with Chris.
Part 4
Chris: I have to go present the movie. Be right back.
You slip into your seat in the reserved section. You’re just settling in when you feel a tap on your shoulder.
Keegan: Hello there.
Danny: Um, hi.
Keegan Welch slides into the seat next to you.
Danny: Excuse me, that’s Chris Winters’s seat--
Keegan: The name’s Keegan. I’m sure you’ve heard of me before…
Danny: I know who you are. You have quite the reputation, Keegan Welch.
Keegan: Good. I love it when my reputation precedes me. It saves me so much time explaining how talented I am. Don’t you agree, Danny?
Danny: You know who I am?
Keegan: I know you’re Chris Winters’s date, which means you must be pretty special…
Danny: Well, I know he doesn’t like you.
Keegan: He told you about me, did he?
Danny: He didn’t have to.
Keegan: You’re smart to be wary. But let me assure you, Chris’s feelings toward me are nothing more than a little professional jealousy. He wants to be the next me, but he can’t… not without a breakthrough role. That’s actually why I’m here. There’s a reason I sought you out.
Time - 6 hours
You’re sitting next to A-list actor Keegan Welch at Chris’s movie premiere…
Keegan: I’d like to recommend Chris for a role in my next film. He’s a fantastic actor, and he has a sterling reputation in the industry. Everyone likes him, but… Well, it’s pretty clear that he doesn’t like me. Which makes him perfect for the role of Steven McGraw.
Danny: Why should I trust you? I don’t know you at all. All I do know is that you’re Chris’s rival. Give me one reason to trust you.
Keegan: Because I know what I’m talking about.
Danny: And why would you want to help Chris?
Keegan: I don’t. But in this case, helping Chris helps me.
Danny: How? What’s the movie?
Keegan: It’s a modern classic in the making. Gritty, fun, superheroes. It’s ‘The Dark Knight’ meets ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’. Our natural antagonism would add something real to the movie, a chemistry that most films these days are missing. Believe me, it’s the kind of movie that’ll win a lot of awards.
Danny: And you… want Chris to be in it?
Keegan: Of course. He’s got the looks, the box-office draw… he’s even got the acting chops. And best of all, he actually despises me. He’s the only actor who could even hope to keep up.
Danny: It sounds like it could be great for Chris… but why don’t you talk to him? I’m not his agent.
Keegan: No, you’re his muse. He wouldn’t listen to me, too blinded by personal clashes, but you… you inspire him. This is what he needs. Plus, if you convince him, I’ll arrange for you to have a role on set. You’ll get to be there with him wile he’s filming… by his side every step of the way…
Danny: It’s not about me, it’s about Chris and his career. He isn’t going to want to work with someone he hates.
Keegan: If you want to deny Chris the role of a lifetime, so be it… but would you really rather he works with someone he likes?
Onstage, Chris and Megan walk out hand-in-hand to introduce the film. As a tech person sets up the microphone, Keegan leans over and whispers…
Keegan: Think about it, Danny. I’ll talk to you again soon…
Keegan waves good-bye and makes his way back to his seat. Onstage, Chris clears his throat.
Chris: Hello, everyone! Thanks for coming to the premiere of ‘The Renegade Ranger’! We want to thank the cast, crew, and everyone who has believed in this project since the beginning. We had a lot of fun filming.
Megan: A lot of fun.
Megan smirks at you and laces her fingers with Chris. He smiles nervously as cameras flash.
Megan: It may have taken a lot of late-night practice to master our on-screen chemistry, but I think the end product is very convincing.
Chris: Without further ado… ‘The Renegade Ranger’!
Chris and Megan walk offstage as the lights dim and the movie begins…
Rewards
Chris slips into the seat next to yours and takes your hand in his.
Chris: Are you ready?
Danny: Can’t wait.
The audience applauds as the title lights up the screen. A moment later, the words are shattered like glass as Chris jumps through the shot and continues running at full-speed. Soon, Megan joins Chris, sprinting through the trees. They dodge branches and jump over logs as they race through the jungle.
Megan: ‘We can’t let the poachers get away with this! David, hurry up!’
Chris: ‘We’ll catch them, Sydney. The hunters… are about to become the hunted.’
Near the end of the movie… a gunshot sounds and Megan falls to the jungle floor, holding her side. The audience gasps!
Danny: My favorite part…
Chris: Your scene is coming up, Danny…
You see yourself in hospital scrubs helping Chris take care of Megan. The camera shifts to a closeup of their final kiss as Megan’s character dies. You can hear people sniffing in the audience as on-screen Chris cries over Megan’s ‘dead’ body. You whisper to him…
Danny: Everyone loves you, Chris. Look at how much your performance is affecting them.
Chris squeezes your hand and smiles at you.
Chris: Thanks, Danny. I’m so glad I could share this night with you.
Danny: I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else…
Chris: Not even an awesome afterparty? Because that’s where we’re headed next!
Part 5
Danny: Afterparty, here we come!
You, Chris, and Megan make your way through the rain storm to the Sheridan Hotel. Inside, giant jungle trees line the walls, vines covered with tropical flowers hang from the ceiling and chandeliers, and professional photographers dressed up like wild animals capture every moment.
Danny: Are we back in Thailand? It looks like we’re back in Thailand.
Megan: Time to go, Chris. We have fans to greet and the media to talk to… I’m sure Danny understands that. And our producer wants to introduce us to the potential director for the sequel, don’t forget.
Danny: Sequel?
Megan: Oh, did Chris not tell you? The studio is in talks for making ‘The Renegade Ranger’ into a franchise Chris and I might be together for years to come, if all goes well.
Chris wraps his arm around you and gives you a quick kiss on the cheek.
Chris: I’m sorry, but Megan’s right. I have to take care of some business at the party. I’d much rather spend the time with you… but I’ll meet up with you later, okay? I want to make sure I say goodbye to you before Megan and I have to leave for the airport.
Chris kisses you before he and Megan are whisked away by their managers. You bite your lip, watching from a distance as they laugh with reporters and pose for pictures, Megan’s arms draped over Chris’s shoulders… You turn away and see Keegan on the other side of the room. You approach him.
Danny: Okay, I’m ready to talk about the movie.
Keegan: Danny. What a surprise. But unfortunately, you’re too late. I’ve changed my mind.
Danny: What? What are you talking about? You said this part was perfect for him! The role of a lifetime--
Keegan: Well, after seeing ‘The Renegade Ranger’, I’m not so sure Chris is right for the part. It’s not a role for a pretty boy, someone who’s never struggled a day in his life.
Danny: Chris has struggled! His very first time acting in front of an audience, he threw up on stage because he was so nervous. But he pushed through, and his hometown still talks about that production of ‘The Wizard of Oz’. They call him ‘Chris Wizards’ to this day!
Keegan: ‘Chris Wizards,’ huh?
Danny: Yeah, it’s really sweet. The whole town loves him. Chris Winters may be perfect, but it’s not because he hasn’t struggled.
Keegan: Hmmm… maybe I underestimated him. And you. All right, I’m convinced. I want Chris. Together, we’ll make a classic… if you can get Chris on board.
Danny: I’ll see what I can do.
Just then, your phone buzzes with a text from Chris, asking you to meet him outside.
Danny: In fact, I’ll go talk to him about the project right now.
Keegan: Excellent! Let’s seal this deal with a kiss!
Before you can react, Keegan leans over and kisses you!
Danny: Hey!
You knee Keegan in the crotch, hard.
Keegan: Ooof.
Keegan falls to the ground and groans.
Keegan: I… can’t… breath…
Danny: How dare you kiss me? What’s wrong with you?
You stand over Keegan with your hands on your hips, but he’s incapable of answering you. After a moment, he tries to get up, but falls back and resumes the fetal position.
Danny: Well, what do you have to say for yourself?
Keegan: Nothing… I’m… sorry…
Danny: Whatever. I’ve got to go find Chris.
You walk away, leaving Keegan moaning on the floor.
Rewards
You finally meet up with Chris outside by his limo. It’s starting to rain harder now, and Chris holds an umbrella over you to keep you dry.
Chris: There you are! I’m sorry to rush you, but we’re already a bit behind schedule.
Danny: Chris, I have something to tell you--
Chris: You can tell me at the airport. Right now I just want to relax with you while I can.
Danny: If you insist… but seriously, you need to hear this as soon as we get to LAX.
You and Chris slip into the back of his limo. After the driver pulls away from the curb, Chris leans back and heaves a sigh of relief. He turns to you and smiles, pushing a piece of your hair behind your ear.
Chris: I’ve been missing you all night… I’m glad I can give you a proper goodbye on the way to the airport.
Chris wraps his arm around you and kisses your forehead.
Chris: Did you have a good time at the party?
Danny: It was fine. It would’ve been better with you, of course.
Chris: Well, maybe I can make it up to you…
Chris pulls you in for a long kiss, and the two of you make out in the back of his limo until you arrive at LAX. The driver takes the limo out onto the runway, stopping next to the chartered plane. Chris holds an umbrella over you as the two of you get out of the car. You can hear the engine of the plane start as the rain falls harder.
Danny: Do you really have to go already?
Chris: Unfortunately, I do.
Danny: I still have to tell you about earlier--
Both of your phones start buzzing repeatedly. You click on the link Addison texted you.
Danny: What the—?!
Chris: Danny? What is this?
Part 6
Chris: Danny, we need to talk.
You and Chris stand on the runway in the rain. You can hear thunder in the distance. A new article from a tabloid lights up your phone screen.
Danny: ‘Chris WIZARDS - Snubbed on the Red Carpet?’
Below the headline, the picture of Keegan kissing you takes up most of the screen, with a small photo of you and Chris from earlier that night in the corner.
Danny: ‘Hollywood heartthrob Chris Winters was seen walking down the red carpet with a date… who kissed Keegan Welch later that night! That’s one way to get to the top.’ Chris… I…
Time - 10 hours
Danny: Chris, I know this seems bad, but I can explain!
You look up at Chris as the rain pours, spattering loudly against the umbrella. You can barely hear Chris over the roar of the plane’s engine.
Chris: I don’t understand, Danny. I asked you here tonight to be my date. I don’t do that a lot, so it’s a big deal to me. In Thailand, I told you I love you, but now… you seem like a completely different person. We were on a date, and you kissed someone else. You kissed Keegan Welch! He’s the biggest scumbag in this town! I’m not judging you for being with someone, but tonight was our night.
Danny: Chris, I swear, Keegan kissed me! I didn’t want him to!
Chris: I bet you didn’t want to tell him about ‘Chris Wizards’ either. I told you that in confidence, I trusted you, and now it’s all over the internet.
Danny: Chris--
Megan sticks her head out of the plane door, looking for Chris.
Megan: Chris? What are you doing down there? We’re late!
Chris: Danny, I really have to go.
Danny: Just let me say one thing, please.
Chris: Fine. One thing.
Danny: I don’t even like him!
Chris: That’s not what this picture says.
Danny: There’s more to it than that--
Megan: Chris? We’re waiting on you…
Chris: Look, my plane is about to leave. I’ll talk to you when I get back.
Danny: Chris, wait…
Chris: I just… can’t right now, Danny.
Chris hands you the umbrella and walks away into the rain.
Rewards
You watch Chris walk up the stairs to the plane door.
Megan: Chris, what’s wrong?
Wordlessly, Chris brushes past Megan. Megan smirks at you and takes a few steps down the stairs.
Megan: Looks like everything went according to plan.
Danny: What plan? Did you do this? Did you send that picture to the tabloids?
Megan: Oh, honey. I did much more than that. Do you really think Keegan Welch would want to spend a moment with someone like you? I think it’s sweet how naive you are.
Danny: Hey--
Megan: A superstar like Chris needs someone who knows how to handle themselves with the media. Not someone who will embarrass him and make him look bad. Face it, Danny, you and Chris just don’t belong together. And now everyone knows it… including Chris. I’m really going to enjoy the rest of our press junket.
Megan laughs as the plane door closes behind her.
Danny: Megan! Hey! We’re not done talking!
The plane taxis away, leaving you alone in the rain.
Danny: Chris…
Will Megan get away with her evil plan? Will you forever be separated from Chris? Keep playing to find out!
Chris: Will you be my date to my film premiere, Danny?

It’s Friday evening, and you’re spending your date night at LAX, waiting for…
Danny: Chris!
Chris: Danny!
You run to him, and he pulls you into a huge hug!
Danny: I’m so glad you’re back!
Chris: Me too. I missed you.
He pulls back just enough to look at your face before leaning in to kiss you.
Chris: Mmmm…
Megan: Aww, you guys are adorable!
Danny: Megan?
You both pull away as Megan Moore walks over, smiling broadly. She gives you a friendly wave and stops to stand between you and Chris.
Danny: I wasn’t expecting you.
Megan: Well, Chris and I are on the press junket. Travelling from city to city to promote the movie? I’m so glad we’re in this together.
Danny: I bet.
Megan: You must be sick of me by now, Chris…
Chris: What are you talking about? You were great. I could never have endured that flight without my partner in crime.
Megan: I know what you mean. At the end there, I think we were even finishing each other’s…
Chris: Peanuts?
The both start laughing.
Danny: What’s so funny?
Megan: Ha ha… it’s just… ha… this hilarious thing happened on the plane…
Chris: Megan opened up her pack of peanuts, but they basically exploded everywhere! One even ended up in our flight attendant’s hair…
Megan: Never mind, Danny. You just really had to be there… and I guess you weren’t.
Chris: But that doesn’t matter now. I’m glad to be back home. It’ll be nice to spend time with you.
Danny: How long do I have you for, Chris?
Chris: Not long, I’m afraid. I’m only here for the L.A. premiere tomorrow night, and then we have to fly out again to the next city.
You step around Megan and put an arm around Chris.
Danny: Then we’d better make the most of it.
Chris: That’s the Danny I love. Will you come to the premiere with me tomorrow night and be my date on the red carpet? I know I already asked you in Thailand, but it’s been a while and I wanted to make sure… are you in?
Megan: Don’t worry, Danny… if you can’t make it, I’d be happy to take Chris off your hands!
Danny: I’m sure you would…
Danny: Chris, I would love to be your date.
Chris: Great. I’ll pick you up tomorrow night!

Chris brings out a photo from his jacket pocked and shows it to you. It’s of Sunee the elephant, and she’s nuzzling an adorable baby elephant!
Chris: That’s Sunee’s baby… Danny.
Danny: You named it after me?
Chris: I hope you don’t mind… Danny the elephant is just so beautiful and fun, the name seemed to fit.
Danny: Aww, Chris!
You throw your arms around him and kiss him!

After you finish with your meal, you and Chris move to the bar area of the restaurant to visit with his costars and crew. Megan, elephant in a stunning floor-length gown, comes up to greet you. She kisses Chris on the cheek and gives you a lukewarm wave.
Megan: There you two are! I didn’t really get a chance to say hello when you arrived, and then you completely disappeared during dinner!
Danny: We had a really cozy corner all to ourselves.
Megan: Of course you did, you lovebirds. And you really should try to spend all the time you can together right now since you won’t be able to later.
Danny: What do you mean?
Megan: Oh! Chris didn’t tell you?
Danny: I’m not sure what you’re talking about, but it must have slipped his mind between catching up with me and showering me with presents.
Chris reaches down to hold your hand while Megan plasters a smile on her face.
Chris: I didn’t want to spoil the evening, but Megan and I have some promotional work to do for the movie tonight.
Megan: We’re introducing the movie together, taking the time to thank our crew and everyone, and generally talking the movie up with the media.
Chris: Yeah, I’m hoping it won’t take too long. I really want to spend some time with you.
Megan: Well, we should really run along to the premiere now! Chris and I are on a tight schedule.
Chris: Great! Let’s go!
Part 3
Chris: Time to walk the red carpet together!
- Danny
Your limo stops at the curb outside the theater. Valets hold umbrellas over the celebrities as they walk the red carpet in the drizzle.
Chris: Megan’s slated to walk out first, and then it’s out turn. You ready for this?
Danny: Oh yeah!
The limo doors open, and through them, you can see Megan starting her walk up the red carpet to raucous cheers and dazzling lights.
Megan: Good evening, everyone!
Then you and Chris step out of the limo and are immediately bombarded by the paparazzi.
Chris: Hello, Hollywood!
He links his arms with yours as your stride down the red carpet. At the promotional backdrop, you and Chris stop for a photograph and are met with rapid-fire questions by the crowd! ‘Chris! Chris, did you finally bring a date to the premiere?! Who’s the lucky man?’
Chris: Come on, Danny. Let’s introduce you to the press!
Time - 4 hours
You and Chris pose on the red carpet as the paparazzi pepper you both with questions. ‘Over here, Chris! Who’s your lucky date?’
Chris: You want to know? This is Danny!
Danny: It’s nice to meet you!
Chris: Danny is one of Hollywood U’s best and brightest!
Chris wraps an arm around your waist and pulls you close. He kisses you on the cheek sweetly as the cameras flash!
Chris: How’s it feel being the center of attention?
Danny: You know, I kind of like it. Especially when you’re around.
The paparazzi crowd around you, asking questions. ‘Hey, Danny! What’s your relationship with Chris? How did the two of you meet?’
Danny: It’s our secret!
Chris: Maybe someday we’ll tell the whole story!
‘Danny, what’s your favorite thing about Chris?’
Danny: Now that one’s easy. My favorite thing about Chris is his heart. Chris is the kindest guy you’ll ever meet. He’s a sweetheart, and he’s special.
Chris: Thanks, Danny… you’re pretty special yourself.
Several people in the crowd ‘awwww’, and the paparazzi snap more photos.

You and Chris walk into the theater, catching up with Megan.
Megan: So how’d Danny handle himself out there? It can get a little overwhelming if it’s your first time.
Danny: I managed. Somehow.
Chris: Danny did great!
Megan: Oh. Good. I’m so glad.
Chris: Looks like I’ve got myself a winner here… I wish I could take you to every premiere…
Danny: Who says you can’t?
Megan: If only! Well, on that note… unfortunately, Danny. I’m going to have to steal Chris from you now. We’re due backstage.
Danny: Sure. As long as you return him.
Megan: No promises.
Chris reaches into his jacket pocket, pulls out some tickets, and presses them into your hand.
Chris: Danny, find our seats, settle in. I’ll join you as soon as I can.
Danny: All right. See you.
Chris moves backstage. Megan starts to follow… then stops, shooting you a too-sweet smile.
Megan: You know, I don’t know how you do it. It’d be so frustrating if I were Chris’s date and all I could do was watch from the sidelines…
Danny: That’s not what I’m doing.
Megan: Isn’t it? Well, it’s just so cute how supportive you are. You’re like Chris’s little sidekick! Anyway, enjoy the show, Danny!
She turns on one diamond-encrusted heel to catch up with Chris.
Part 4
Chris: I have to go present the movie. Be right back.
- Danny
You slip into your seat in the reserved section. You’re just settling in when you feel a tap on your shoulder.
Keegan: Hello there.
Danny: Um, hi.
Keegan Welch slides into the seat next to you.
Danny: Excuse me, that’s Chris Winters’s seat--
Keegan: The name’s Keegan. I’m sure you’ve heard of me before…
Danny: I know who you are. You have quite the reputation, Keegan Welch.
Keegan: Good. I love it when my reputation precedes me. It saves me so much time explaining how talented I am. Don’t you agree, Danny?
Danny: You know who I am?
Keegan: I know you’re Chris Winters’s date, which means you must be pretty special…
Danny: Well, I know he doesn’t like you.
Keegan: He told you about me, did he?
Danny: He didn’t have to.
Keegan: You’re smart to be wary. But let me assure you, Chris’s feelings toward me are nothing more than a little professional jealousy. He wants to be the next me, but he can’t… not without a breakthrough role. That’s actually why I’m here. There’s a reason I sought you out.
Time - 6 hours
You’re sitting next to A-list actor Keegan Welch at Chris’s movie premiere…
Keegan: I’d like to recommend Chris for a role in my next film. He’s a fantastic actor, and he has a sterling reputation in the industry. Everyone likes him, but… Well, it’s pretty clear that he doesn’t like me. Which makes him perfect for the role of Steven McGraw.
Danny: Why should I trust you? I don’t know you at all. All I do know is that you’re Chris’s rival. Give me one reason to trust you.
Keegan: Because I know what I’m talking about.
Danny: And why would you want to help Chris?
Keegan: I don’t. But in this case, helping Chris helps me.
Danny: How? What’s the movie?
Keegan: It’s a modern classic in the making. Gritty, fun, superheroes. It’s ‘The Dark Knight’ meets ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’. Our natural antagonism would add something real to the movie, a chemistry that most films these days are missing. Believe me, it’s the kind of movie that’ll win a lot of awards.
Danny: And you… want Chris to be in it?
Keegan: Of course. He’s got the looks, the box-office draw… he’s even got the acting chops. And best of all, he actually despises me. He’s the only actor who could even hope to keep up.
Danny: It sounds like it could be great for Chris… but why don’t you talk to him? I’m not his agent.
Keegan: No, you’re his muse. He wouldn’t listen to me, too blinded by personal clashes, but you… you inspire him. This is what he needs. Plus, if you convince him, I’ll arrange for you to have a role on set. You’ll get to be there with him wile he’s filming… by his side every step of the way…
Danny: It’s not about me, it’s about Chris and his career. He isn’t going to want to work with someone he hates.
Keegan: If you want to deny Chris the role of a lifetime, so be it… but would you really rather he works with someone he likes?
Onstage, Chris and Megan walk out hand-in-hand to introduce the film. As a tech person sets up the microphone, Keegan leans over and whispers…
Keegan: Think about it, Danny. I’ll talk to you again soon…
Keegan waves good-bye and makes his way back to his seat. Onstage, Chris clears his throat.
Chris: Hello, everyone! Thanks for coming to the premiere of ‘The Renegade Ranger’! We want to thank the cast, crew, and everyone who has believed in this project since the beginning. We had a lot of fun filming.
Megan: A lot of fun.
Megan smirks at you and laces her fingers with Chris. He smiles nervously as cameras flash.
Megan: It may have taken a lot of late-night practice to master our on-screen chemistry, but I think the end product is very convincing.
Chris: Without further ado… ‘The Renegade Ranger’!
Chris and Megan walk offstage as the lights dim and the movie begins…

Chris slips into the seat next to yours and takes your hand in his.
Chris: Are you ready?
Danny: Can’t wait.
The audience applauds as the title lights up the screen. A moment later, the words are shattered like glass as Chris jumps through the shot and continues running at full-speed. Soon, Megan joins Chris, sprinting through the trees. They dodge branches and jump over logs as they race through the jungle.
Megan: ‘We can’t let the poachers get away with this! David, hurry up!’
Chris: ‘We’ll catch them, Sydney. The hunters… are about to become the hunted.’
Near the end of the movie… a gunshot sounds and Megan falls to the jungle floor, holding her side. The audience gasps!
Danny: My favorite part…
Chris: Your scene is coming up, Danny…
You see yourself in hospital scrubs helping Chris take care of Megan. The camera shifts to a closeup of their final kiss as Megan’s character dies. You can hear people sniffing in the audience as on-screen Chris cries over Megan’s ‘dead’ body. You whisper to him…
Danny: Everyone loves you, Chris. Look at how much your performance is affecting them.
Chris squeezes your hand and smiles at you.
Chris: Thanks, Danny. I’m so glad I could share this night with you.
Danny: I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else…
Chris: Not even an awesome afterparty? Because that’s where we’re headed next!
Part 5
Danny: Afterparty, here we come!
- Complete a Party with Danny
You, Chris, and Megan make your way through the rain storm to the Sheridan Hotel. Inside, giant jungle trees line the walls, vines covered with tropical flowers hang from the ceiling and chandeliers, and professional photographers dressed up like wild animals capture every moment.
Danny: Are we back in Thailand? It looks like we’re back in Thailand.
Megan: Time to go, Chris. We have fans to greet and the media to talk to… I’m sure Danny understands that. And our producer wants to introduce us to the potential director for the sequel, don’t forget.
Danny: Sequel?
Megan: Oh, did Chris not tell you? The studio is in talks for making ‘The Renegade Ranger’ into a franchise Chris and I might be together for years to come, if all goes well.
Chris wraps his arm around you and gives you a quick kiss on the cheek.
Chris: I’m sorry, but Megan’s right. I have to take care of some business at the party. I’d much rather spend the time with you… but I’ll meet up with you later, okay? I want to make sure I say goodbye to you before Megan and I have to leave for the airport.
Chris kisses you before he and Megan are whisked away by their managers. You bite your lip, watching from a distance as they laugh with reporters and pose for pictures, Megan’s arms draped over Chris’s shoulders… You turn away and see Keegan on the other side of the room. You approach him.
Danny: Okay, I’m ready to talk about the movie.
Keegan: Danny. What a surprise. But unfortunately, you’re too late. I’ve changed my mind.
Danny: What? What are you talking about? You said this part was perfect for him! The role of a lifetime--
Keegan: Well, after seeing ‘The Renegade Ranger’, I’m not so sure Chris is right for the part. It’s not a role for a pretty boy, someone who’s never struggled a day in his life.
Danny: Chris has struggled! His very first time acting in front of an audience, he threw up on stage because he was so nervous. But he pushed through, and his hometown still talks about that production of ‘The Wizard of Oz’. They call him ‘Chris Wizards’ to this day!
Keegan: ‘Chris Wizards,’ huh?
Danny: Yeah, it’s really sweet. The whole town loves him. Chris Winters may be perfect, but it’s not because he hasn’t struggled.
Keegan: Hmmm… maybe I underestimated him. And you. All right, I’m convinced. I want Chris. Together, we’ll make a classic… if you can get Chris on board.
Danny: I’ll see what I can do.
Just then, your phone buzzes with a text from Chris, asking you to meet him outside.
Danny: In fact, I’ll go talk to him about the project right now.
Keegan: Excellent! Let’s seal this deal with a kiss!
Before you can react, Keegan leans over and kisses you!
Danny: Hey!
You knee Keegan in the crotch, hard.
Keegan: Ooof.
Keegan falls to the ground and groans.
Keegan: I… can’t… breath…
Danny: How dare you kiss me? What’s wrong with you?
You stand over Keegan with your hands on your hips, but he’s incapable of answering you. After a moment, he tries to get up, but falls back and resumes the fetal position.
Danny: Well, what do you have to say for yourself?
Keegan: Nothing… I’m… sorry…
Danny: Whatever. I’ve got to go find Chris.
You walk away, leaving Keegan moaning on the floor.

You finally meet up with Chris outside by his limo. It’s starting to rain harder now, and Chris holds an umbrella over you to keep you dry.
Chris: There you are! I’m sorry to rush you, but we’re already a bit behind schedule.
Danny: Chris, I have something to tell you--
Chris: You can tell me at the airport. Right now I just want to relax with you while I can.
Danny: If you insist… but seriously, you need to hear this as soon as we get to LAX.
You and Chris slip into the back of his limo. After the driver pulls away from the curb, Chris leans back and heaves a sigh of relief. He turns to you and smiles, pushing a piece of your hair behind your ear.
Chris: I’ve been missing you all night… I’m glad I can give you a proper goodbye on the way to the airport.
Chris wraps his arm around you and kisses your forehead.
Chris: Did you have a good time at the party?
Danny: It was fine. It would’ve been better with you, of course.
Chris: Well, maybe I can make it up to you…
Chris pulls you in for a long kiss, and the two of you make out in the back of his limo until you arrive at LAX. The driver takes the limo out onto the runway, stopping next to the chartered plane. Chris holds an umbrella over you as the two of you get out of the car. You can hear the engine of the plane start as the rain falls harder.
Danny: Do you really have to go already?
Chris: Unfortunately, I do.
Danny: I still have to tell you about earlier--
Both of your phones start buzzing repeatedly. You click on the link Addison texted you.
Danny: What the—?!
Chris: Danny? What is this?
Part 6
Chris: Danny, we need to talk.
- Danny
You and Chris stand on the runway in the rain. You can hear thunder in the distance. A new article from a tabloid lights up your phone screen.
Danny: ‘Chris WIZARDS - Snubbed on the Red Carpet?’
Below the headline, the picture of Keegan kissing you takes up most of the screen, with a small photo of you and Chris from earlier that night in the corner.
Danny: ‘Hollywood heartthrob Chris Winters was seen walking down the red carpet with a date… who kissed Keegan Welch later that night! That’s one way to get to the top.’ Chris… I…
Time - 10 hours
Danny: Chris, I know this seems bad, but I can explain!
You look up at Chris as the rain pours, spattering loudly against the umbrella. You can barely hear Chris over the roar of the plane’s engine.
Chris: I don’t understand, Danny. I asked you here tonight to be my date. I don’t do that a lot, so it’s a big deal to me. In Thailand, I told you I love you, but now… you seem like a completely different person. We were on a date, and you kissed someone else. You kissed Keegan Welch! He’s the biggest scumbag in this town! I’m not judging you for being with someone, but tonight was our night.
Danny: Chris, I swear, Keegan kissed me! I didn’t want him to!
Chris: I bet you didn’t want to tell him about ‘Chris Wizards’ either. I told you that in confidence, I trusted you, and now it’s all over the internet.
Danny: Chris--
Megan sticks her head out of the plane door, looking for Chris.
Megan: Chris? What are you doing down there? We’re late!
Chris: Danny, I really have to go.
Danny: Just let me say one thing, please.
Chris: Fine. One thing.
Danny: I don’t even like him!
Chris: That’s not what this picture says.
Danny: There’s more to it than that--
Megan: Chris? We’re waiting on you…
Chris: Look, my plane is about to leave. I’ll talk to you when I get back.
Danny: Chris, wait…
Chris: I just… can’t right now, Danny.
Chris hands you the umbrella and walks away into the rain.

You watch Chris walk up the stairs to the plane door.
Megan: Chris, what’s wrong?
Wordlessly, Chris brushes past Megan. Megan smirks at you and takes a few steps down the stairs.
Megan: Looks like everything went according to plan.
Danny: What plan? Did you do this? Did you send that picture to the tabloids?
Megan: Oh, honey. I did much more than that. Do you really think Keegan Welch would want to spend a moment with someone like you? I think it’s sweet how naive you are.
Danny: Hey--
Megan: A superstar like Chris needs someone who knows how to handle themselves with the media. Not someone who will embarrass him and make him look bad. Face it, Danny, you and Chris just don’t belong together. And now everyone knows it… including Chris. I’m really going to enjoy the rest of our press junket.
Megan laughs as the plane door closes behind her.
Danny: Megan! Hey! We’re not done talking!
The plane taxis away, leaving you alone in the rain.
Danny: Chris…
Will Megan get away with her evil plan? Will you forever be separated from Chris? Keep playing to find out!
