Part 1
Lisa: Please, please, PLEASE come with me on my world tour!
You stop by Lisa’s dorm after your morning lecture and find her in a shouting match with her mom!
Lisa: Mom, I don’t want you going! It’s my world tour, I should get to decide who comes with me!
Carlotta Valentine: Not according to this contract you signed! I’m well within my rights to accompany you as your manager!
Lisa: You’re not my manager anymore, mom!
Carlotta Valentine: You need me, Lisa. Somebody has to make sure you don’t ruin your career on this trip.
Danny: Uh… am I interrupting something?
Carlotta Valentine: Just a classic Lisa temper tantrum. Bet you’re regretting convincing her to live on campus, aren’t you?
Lisa: No, Danny’s not regretting that, because Danny is my friend who I enjoy spending time with. Unlike YOU! Speaking of which, I’m officially inviting Danny to accompany me on my world tour!
Danny: That sounds--
Carlotta Valentine: Like a nightmare? I agree. Lisa’s already uncontrollable in Hollywood… she’ll be even worse in Tokyo, Saint Petersburg, and Barcelona.
Danny: Tokyo, Saint Petersburg, and Barcelona? This tour sounds awesome!
Lisa: I know, right? I’ll be playing concerts in each city, and we can explore as we go! Please, please, please don’t make me go with just my mom, Danny… come with me!
That afternoon, you and your friends meet up with Lisa and Carlotta Valentine at the airport and climb aboard a bright pink jet!
Lisa: All aboard Air Valentine for the greatest world tour in history!
Addison: Woo!
Ethan: This is gonna be awesome.
Danny: Thanks for inviting us, Lisa.
Lisa: Thanks for coming with me! We’re going to show the world just how awesome a Lisa Valentine tour can be!
Carlotta Valentine scowls at Lisa as you and your friends settle into seats.
Carlotta Valentine: Let me make this clear right now. There will be no more of this edgy Miley Cyrus type behavior on this trip. Is that understood, young lady?
Lisa: Yes.
Carlotta Valentine: Good. And Danny… I don’t need you encouraging her. You should be grateful you’re flying with us, and not in coach on a separate flight like you deserve.
Danny: Excuse me?
Carlotta completely ignores you and strides away to the front of the plane.
Carlotta Valentine: I’m going to have a word with the pilot. Behave yourselves.
Rewards
After the plane lands in Tokyo, you board a shuttle headed for your hotel. Neon kanji signage and gray concrete blur through the windows as you start browsing tourism brochures.
Addison: Wow, everything looks so fun! What should we do first?
Carlotta Valentine: Whatever you do, I’d better not go on TMZ tonight and see my daughter’s latest exploits all over the front page!
Lisa: Don’t worry, mom… we’re just going to go soak up some local culture. Who wants to check out a hot springs resort?
Part 2
Lisa: Come on, Danny! Hot springs!
You, Ethan, Addison, and Lisa take a train into the mountains near Tokyo and arrive at a hot springs resort nestled on a hillside. Cherry blossoms dance on the wind as you pass under a wooden archway and through a sliding paper door.
Addison: It’s so beautiful here!
Lisa: And relaxing! Get in, everyone!
You and your friends change into your swimsuits and slip into the hot springs. You sigh contentedly as the hot water touches your skin.
Danny: Aaaahhhhhh…
Ethan: This is the life!
Lisa pushes a bottle of sake up through the swirling waters of the hot spring!
Lisa: Can I interest anyone in some drinks?
Addison: Lisa! You’re not old enough to drink yet!
Lisa: I am in Japan! Drinking age is twenty years old, baby!
Time - 1 hour
As Lisa uncorks the bottle of sake, a member of the hot springs staff walks over, her kimono fluttering with each step.
Addison: Uh oh! You might be allowed to drink in Japan, Lisa, but I’m not sure we’re allowed to drink in the hot spring…
Lisa: Change of plans!
Lisa tosses the bottle of sake into a nearby trash can. You hear the glass shatter.
Lisa: Damn.
The attendant, looking slightly confused, approaches you and your friends and displays a drink menu!
Lisa: Okay, so apparently I just wasted an entire bottle of sake… But on the other hand… woo! This is my kind of spa!
Ethan: What are you gonna get, Danny?
Danny: Hmm, I think I’ll have a sake bomb!
The attendant brings you a glass of beer… with a cup of sake balanced precariously on a pair of chopsticks laid over the rim!
Danny: Cheers!
You pull out the chopsticks, letting the sake fall into the glass! You hurriedly gulp down the beer and sake!
Lisa: Go Danny!
Ethan: Respect.
Danny: Aaaah! Delicious!
As you and your friends drink and talk in the relaxing waters of the hot spring, shadows lengthen, and the moon rises over the mountains.
Addison: This is nice, isn’t it?
Ethan: Definitely. It’s good to just take it easy and— Ow!
A bikini top hits Ethan full in the face, cutting him off!
Lisa: Skinny dipping!
Ethan: Oh, damn, it’s on! Or should I say off?
Addison: Are you getting in on this, Danny?
Danny: Um, hell yes!
You strip off your swimsuit, trusting the clouds of steam rising off the hot springs to hide you from the staff.
Lisa: Lookin’ good, Danny!
Danny: Yeah… I work out.
Rewards
After getting out of the hot springs and toweling off, you and your friends board the train back to Tokyo. Lisa leans her head on your shoulder and watches the starlit countryside roll by out the window.
Danny: Are you excited for your first show tomorrow, Lisa?
Lisa: Yeah, I guess. I mean…
Lisa sighs.
Lisa: It gets a little wearing sometimes, you know? I feel like I’m always putting on a show… for my fans, for my mom… for everyone.
Ethan: So, what you’re saying is that you don’t like skinny dipping and wrecking hotel rooms?
Addison: Ethan!
Lisa: Okay, you got me. I do like skinny dipping and trashing hotel rooms. But that’s not everything there is to know about me. Not that any of my fans care. I barely get to speak my mind or say anything about how I really feel… but when I’m around you guys, I get to be myself.
Danny: Why can’t you be yourself for your fans, too?
Lisa: Everyone wants me to be whatever their idea of Lisa is… whether that’s squeaky clean teeny bopper Lisa Mermaid or crazy party girl Lisa Valentine. Even my own mother sees me as a brand. The world wants a pop star, not a real person.
Danny: Well, I like the real Lisa.
Lisa: Thanks, Danny. It’s too bad my fans don’t feel the same way…
Part 3
Addison: Tonight’s Lisa’s first concert! And we have front row seats!
The next evening, you, Ethan, and Addison file into front row seats in a massive arena in the heart of Tokyo. The stadium is packed with cheering fans, the noise rising to a crescendo as the start of the concert draws near!
Carlotta Valentine: Good to see that Lisa hasn’t entirely tarnished her brand yet… she can still sell out a stadium, so that’s something.
Danny: Do you ever say anything positive about her?
Carlotta Valentine: Only when she’s earned it. It’s not my fault she’s so committed to disappointing me.
Addison whispers to you as Carlotta Valentine swivels in her seat to scan the crowd.
Addison: I’m not sure these fans are here to see the new Lisa Valentine, Danny.
You stand up and look around at a sea of screaming preteen girls, all wearing ‘Lisa Mermaid’ t-shirts and waving foam mermaid fins!
Ethan: Wait… are they singing what I think they’re singing?
‘Our friendship will never fade… it’s Lisa Meeeermaaaaid.’
Danny: Uh oh.
Just then, Lisa appears onstage in the midst of an eyeball-searing pyrotechnic display, wearing a revealing leather corset and shredded fishnets!
Lisa: All right, Tokyo… let’s rock ALL! NIGHT! LONG!
Time - 2 hours
Lisa raises one fist in the air and then drops into a power stance, her black fingernails tearing a screeching chord from a cherry-red electric guitar!
Lisa: Yeah, yeah, yeah!
The amps crackle with feedback as the preteen fans wail in protest, covering their ears!
Danny: I don’t think this is going over well…
Carlotta Valentine: Thank you for stating the obvious. You see what I have to put up with? Lisa’s absolutely unmanageable.
Danny: Or maybe you’re just bad at your job.
Carlotta scoffs at you.
Ethan: Is there any chance the fans will come around to the new Lisa?
Addison: I don’t see that happening anytime soon, Ethan…
Lisa: ‘Parents are… garbage! Teachers are… garbage! The government is… garbage!’
Suddenly, the audience of ‘Lisa Mermaid’ fans start cheering!
Ethan: Hey! They’re into it!
Danny: I don’t think they’re cheering for Lisa…
An actor dressed in a cat costume dances onto the stage, her fluffy tail trailing behind her!
Carlotta Valentine: Oh god… I told Lisa not to do this.
Danny: Do what? Who is that cat?
Carlotta Valentine: ‘Ohayo Kitten’… the most popular TV character among Japanese girls aged eight through thirteen. A.K.A. Lisa Mermaid’s target demographic.
The preteen audience watches in stunned silence as Lisa dances over to Ohayo Kitten, whirls around, and tears the costume’s head off!
Danny: Oh my god.
The stadium is suddenly filled with sobbing as all the ‘Ohayo Kitten’ and ‘Little Mermaid’ fans start crying. Lisa’s backup band stops playing, and Lisa finally hears the reaction of the audience.
Lisa: Uh oh.
Rewards
After the show, Lisa changes behind a screen in the dressing room. You, Addison, and Ethan sit in uncomfortable silence as Lisa’s mom berates her for her performance.
Carlotta Valentine: Are you happy now, Lisa? You made a while stadium full of little girls cry.
Lisa: I didn’t know they were all so young!
Carlotta Valentine’s phone beeps, and she glares at the screen.
Carlotta Valentine: Well, it seems news travels fast. Already some of your sponsors are wondering if your image has changed too much for them. You don’t have the luxury of acting out, Lisa. Your little teenage angst thing isn’t good for business.
Lisa stomps out from behind the screen wearing a faded rock tee, her eyeliner streaked with tears.
Lisa: Leave me alone, mom! You’re such a jerk!
Carlotta Valentine: I’m just asking you to stop terrorizing people and be the wholesome, innocent Lisa you used to pretend to be! That’s what sells! Now, there are going to be a lot of temptations in Saint Petersburg, with the White Nights Festival going on and everything. Try to find some way to enjoy it without making me regret all the years I spent on you.
Part 4
Carlotta Valentine: Just… just stop being Lisa for a few days. Is that too much to ask?
Air Valentine touches down in Saint Petersburg, Russia just as tensions aboard the private jet reach unbearable levels.
Carlotta Valentine: I’ll make sure everything at the hotel is in order… you kids run along and enjoy the festival. And Lisa… don’t do anything Lisa Mermaid wouldn’t do. Got it?
Lisa: I’m twenty years old, mom. I don’t have to do what you say.
Carlotta Valentine: You will if you don’t want to end up like the hundreds of teen starlets who’ve wrecked their careers. Don’t do anything that’ll get you on the cover of TMZ and scare off your sponsors, understand?
Lisa: Ugh, fine!
You and your friends board a shuttle heading for the city center.
Danny: So what is this festival we’re going to?
Lisa: The White Nights Festival… it’s an annual art culture celebration. This far north, the sun doesn’t set for two days each year. So it’s basically a nonstop party today and tomorrow.
Ethan: Whoa! Sick!
Addison: So… why do you sound so sad?
Lisa: Because I have to ‘be good’ and ‘stay off the front page of TMZ!’ That last concert was a disaster… I need to do some serious image maintenance to avoid any more PR nightmares.
Danny: Well, I’m sure there will be stuff to do at the festival that won’t get you on the front page of the tabloids…
Lisa: Yeah… I hope so.
Fireworks explode overhead as you and your friends depart the bus and arrive in the city square.
Ethan: Now this is a party.
The square is packed with revelers pounding shots of vodka and blasting electronic music. The onion domes of historic buildings glitter in the light of the fireworks. A shirtless guy with a trendy haircut and a menagerie of tattoos on his body taps you on the shoulder.
Danny: Oh, hi!
He hands you a pamphlet of tattoo designs and gestures with a handheld tattoo gun, inviting you to choose one in a thick Russian accent.
Lisa: Tattoos? In Russia? During the White Nights Festival? This could not be any cooler!
Ethan: Probably not such a hot idea, Lisa… a picture of you getting a spontaneous tattoo would definitely earn TMZ a lot of site traffic.
Lisa: Argh! I hate this… but if you guys want to get tattoos, you should do it.
Danny: Hmm, I think I’ll get a star.
Addison: That’ll look so cute! What does it mean?
Ethan: That Danny’s gonna be a star someday. Right, Danny?
Danny: Sure, why not.
The tattoo artist outlines the star and then traces over it with the tattoo gun.
Danny: Ow. Ow. Ow. Worth it.
Lisa: What I wouldn’t give to be experiencing that pain right now…
Rewards
Afterwards you and your friends return to the hotel, where Lisa’s mom has had your luggage brought to your rooms.
Carlotta Valentine: Well, Lisa, I’ve been checking trending stories on Twitter, TMZ, and Perez Hilton all day, and I haven’t seen any mention of you. I suppose I should congratulate you on not embarrassing yourself and me.
Lisa: Yeah. Thanks, mom.
Carlotta Valentine: Just keep it up for tomorrow’s concert, and you’ll be golden. I’ve taken the liberty of revising your set list.
Lisa: What? No way, I am not singing ‘Lisa Mermaid’ songs tomorrow!
Carlotta Valentine: You don’t have to sing ‘Lisa Mermaid’ songs… why don’t you sing ‘Afterschool Romance’?
Lisa: No. Way.
Danny: ‘Afterschool Romance’? What’s that?
Lisa: I may have released a tween pop album during my ‘Lisa Mermaid’ years… I was trying to find my voice!
Carlotta Valentine: Well, you’re certainly not going to sing any of your angsty Lisa Valentine songs. Sing ‘Afterschool Romance’, or sing nothing at all. We are not losing valuable sponsorships just because you want to ‘be true to yourself’ or whatever crap you read off your latte cup this morning.
With that, Carlotta strides out of the room and slams the door behind her.
Lisa: First I have to act innocent all day, and now this? It’s… it’s…
Lisa flops onto the bed and screams into her pillow!
Danny: Do you feel any better?
Lisa: ….no.
Part 5
Ethan: I hope this concert goes better than the last one…
You and your friends sleep through the midnight sun and wake up on the second day of the White Nights Festival. You pile into a limo waiting outside the hotel, and soon you’re all sitting in the front row of Lisa’s next concert.
Danny: I hope this ones goes better than Tokyo…
Carlotta Valentine: If Lisa just follows my advice and sticks to ‘Afterschool Romance’, it’ll be fine.
Onstage, Lisa dances through a shower of rose petals and glitter, wearing a pastel pink dress and matching Mary Jane shoes!
Lisa: Hiiii, Saint Petersburg! Let’s get this party started! ‘We were waiting afterschool, trying too hard to look cool! I saw you across the quad, thought that you were pretty hot! You asked me for a dance, it was an aaafterschool romaaaance!’
The stadium sits in stunned silence punctuated by a few halfhearted cheers.
Danny: Oh no. I don’t think any of the audience expected… this.
Time - 4 hours
The audience grows more apathetic by the moment as Lisa’s setlist continues. Soon, people start to trickle out of the arena, and the crowd thins more and more with each new song.
Danny: Oh, poor Lisa…
Carlotta Valentine: Poor Lisa? She’s barely making an effort! No wonder her career’s in such a shambles if she’s surrounded by suck-ups like you!
Lisa: ‘Our lockers were side by side, babe you had me hypnotized.’
Addison: Are all of these songs about meeting cute guys at school?
Finally, the concert ends as Lisa finishes her final song. A ripple of unenthusiastic applause echoes in the quickly emptying arena.
Lisa: Thank you all for coming out to see my show tonight! I really… I really enjoyed it, and I hope you d-did too! Bye!
Lisa rushes backstage, wiping at her eyes with the back of her hand.
Danny: We should go talk to her.
Carlotta Valentine: Yes, there’s certainly a lot I’d like to say to Lisa right about now!
Rewards
In the dressing room, Lisa stares into a full-length mirror, looking at the pastel pink-wearing girl in front of her. Carlotta’s grimacing face appears over her shoulder as you and your friends follow Lisa’s mom into the dressing room.
Carlotta Valentine: What do you have to say for yourself?
Lisa: What do I have to say for myself? What do you have to say for yourself?! They hated me, mom… all because I played those stupid songs like you told me to do!
Carlotta Valentine: You barely even tried, Lisa! That was one of your worst performances, ever!
Lisa: Maybe I’d try harder if you would just let me be myself! I’m tired of trying to ‘play it safe’ and be whatever will sell the most concert tickets!
Carlotta Valentine: This isn’t a movie, Lisa. This is real life. You can’t just ‘be yourself’ and expect everyone to like it. You want to ignore my advice and ruin your career? Fine. When we get to Barcelona, you can go ahead and do just that.
Part 6
Carlotta Valentine: You want to be yourself? Be yourself. Just try not to humiliate me in the process.
As you reach the final leg of Lisa’s World Tour, Air Valentine swoops low over the ocean and touches down in Barcelona. You look out over the cityscape, its modern architecture clashing beautifully with the eccentric spires of Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia.
Carlotta Valentine: Well, I’ll arrange our hotel. Lisa… you do whatever you want. I don’t care anymore.
Lisa just shrugs while her mom strides away, leading luggage handlers toward a waiting shuttle.
Addison: I heat there’s a restaurant nearby with unlimited paella and beer! Unlimited!
Lisa: Yeah… I kind of want to explore the city first. Does anyone else mind renting bicycles for a little bit?
Ethan: Wait… Lisa Valentine would rather ride bicycles than--
You shoot Ethan a warning look.
Danny: Biking sounds great, Lisa. Let’s find some rentals.
You and your friends pedal through Barcelona on rented bicycles, flying past elegant historic palaces and bizarre works of stunningly creative architecture. The sun warms your back as you meander through a maze of manicured hedges in a labyrinthian park, the wheels of your bicycle churning up the fine white sand of the paths.
Addison: Hey, Lisa, wait up!
Danny: It’s okay, Addison. I think she needs a little space.
Up ahead, Lisa stashes her bike on the rental company’s bike rack, then stands waiting for you to do the same.
Danny: Did you have fun?
Lisa: Yeah. That was… that was nice.
Ethan: Ready to check out the nightlife? I’m sure we could find a good tapas bar around here somewhere…
Lisa: Let’s do it.
You all squeeze into a row of leather stools in a dimly lit tapas bar. A mirror behind the bar shimmers through the gloom, reflecting the warm light of flickering candles. The bartender sets out dishes piled with stuffed olives, tiny fried squids, flaky empanadas, and sauteed mushrooms, along with a decanter of vermouth.
Addison: This was a very good idea!
Rewards
As your friends dig into the wide assortment of tapas spread across the bar, you turn to Lisa.
Danny: How are you feeling about tomorrow?
Lisa: You mean the concert? Don’t remind me.
Danny: What do you mean? Aren’t you excited to go out there and show everyone the real Lisa Valentine?
Lisa: I don’t know, Danny… what if my mom’s right? What if people don’t like the ‘real’ Lisa Valentine?
Danny: The way I see it, you can either be the Lisa your fans want you to be, the Lisa your mom wants you to be, or the Lisa you want to be. And if that last girl’s anything like the Lisa Valentine I know… she’s going to be amazing.
Lisa: Thanks, Danny… that’s… that’s really sweet of you.
Danny: I just call ‘em like I see ‘em.
Lisa puts a hand on your arm and leans in to whisper, her lips brushing your ear.
Lisa: You could kiss me right now, if you wanted to…
You pull Lisa in, tilting her bar stool toward you as your lips meet in a tender kiss.
Lisa: You always know just what to say.
Danny: Glad I could help.
Just then, Lisa glances at her phone to check the time.
Lisa: I should probably get some sleep.
Ethan: What? It’s only eleven. Don’t tell me you’re quitting now!
Lisa: Sorry, Ethan. I’ve got a big day tomorrow. And… thanks again, Danny. I mean it.
Part 7
Danny: I have a feeling Lisa’s final concert will be a little different from her last two…
The next day, you and your friends are sitting front row at Lisa’s final concert.
Carlotta Valentine: Well, it looks like I’m not the only one Lisa will end up disappointing today…
Danny: What is that supposed to mean?
Carlotta Valentine: ‘Lisa Mermaid’ and ‘Lisa Valentine’ fans have shown up for this show. Obviously no one even knows what to expect from Lisa anymore.
You glance about at the strange mix of fans… middleschoolers wearing ‘Lisa Mermaid’ t-shirts standing alongside young adults in ripped jeans and spiked cuffs.
Ethan: This… probably isn’t an ideal audience.
Danny: Come on, guys… I’m sure Lisa can make it work.
Carlotta Valentine: And just what are you basing that off of? Did you sleep through the last two concerts?
Addison: Shh! It’s starting!
A single spotlight sweeps the stage, searching the darkness before finally settling on Lisa, dressed in a simple grey t-shirt and skinny jeans.
Lisa: Hi, everyone. I know some of you are here for ‘Lisa Mermaid’, and some of you are here for ‘Lisa Valentine’.
The two groups of fans cheer as their favorite versions of Lisa are mentioned.
Lisa: But… before I start the show, there’s something I want to say.
Time - 6 hours
The crowd is silent as Lisa paces the stage, staring out at them.
Lisa: This tour hasn’t really gone my way so far. To be honest, it’s been kind of a disaster. It’s been… difficult to settle on who to be when everyone wants me to be something different. I’m sure you’ve all felt pressure to be someone you’re not, and sometimes it feels like you have to be what other people want you to be. My friend Danny helped me realize that’s not true. You always have a choice… and just being yourself is always an option.
You, Ethan, and Addison smile at Lisa from the front row as the audience members start to clap.
Lisa: Yeah… thanks, guys. Um… that’s about all I have to say. Sorry if I made things weird, everyone.
The fans burst into thunderous applause as Lisa finishes her speech! Carlotta Valentine rolls her eyes.
Lisa: Enough talk. Let’s start the show!
Rewards
Lisa puts on her best concert yet, singing all of her favorite songs instead of trying to cater to the audience! The audience applauds wildly as the concert comes to a close, and Lisa pulls you and your friends up on stage with her!
Addison: Lisa, you were amazing!
Ethan: That was possibly one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. I’m being totally serious.
Danny: It was awesome, Lisa. Everyone could tell you were really having fun with it, too!
Lisa: I couldn’t have done it without you guys. Especially you, Danny.
Lisa pulls you all into a big hug as the fans cheer!
Carlotta Valentine: It looks like people do like ‘the real Lisa.’ Well, there’s no accounting for taste. Now, let’s talk about your next move… You’re flying high now, but you’re going to crash and burn without my help. I know you.
Lisa glares at her mom, ready to start yelling. But then, her expression clears, and she shakes her head.
Lisa: You want to manage something? Manage to find your own flight home.
Carlotta Valentine: You do not speak to me like that, young lady! You get back here right now!
You shrug at Carlotta as Lisa turns on her heel and walks away, the cheers of the crowd still echoing through the stadium.
Danny: That was pretty harsh, Lisa! I’m not saying your mom doesn’t deserve it… but what if she can’t find a flight home?
Lisa: Oh, don’t worry about that. I brought her some tickets for this evening… but she’ll be flying coach.
Lisa: Please, please, PLEASE come with me on my world tour!

You stop by Lisa’s dorm after your morning lecture and find her in a shouting match with her mom!
Lisa: Mom, I don’t want you going! It’s my world tour, I should get to decide who comes with me!
Carlotta Valentine: Not according to this contract you signed! I’m well within my rights to accompany you as your manager!
Lisa: You’re not my manager anymore, mom!
Carlotta Valentine: You need me, Lisa. Somebody has to make sure you don’t ruin your career on this trip.
Danny: Uh… am I interrupting something?
Carlotta Valentine: Just a classic Lisa temper tantrum. Bet you’re regretting convincing her to live on campus, aren’t you?
Lisa: No, Danny’s not regretting that, because Danny is my friend who I enjoy spending time with. Unlike YOU! Speaking of which, I’m officially inviting Danny to accompany me on my world tour!

Carlotta Valentine: Only when she’s earned it. It’s not my fault she’s so committed to disappointing me.
Addison whispers to you as Carlotta Valentine swivels in her seat to scan the crowd.
Addison: I’m not sure these fans are here to see the new Lisa Valentine, Danny.
You stand up and look around at a sea of screaming preteen girls, all wearing ‘Lisa Mermaid’ t-shirts and waving foam mermaid fins!
Ethan: Wait… are they singing what I think they’re singing?
‘Our friendship will never fade… it’s Lisa Meeeermaaaaid.’
Danny: Uh oh.
Just then, Lisa appears onstage in the midst of an eyeball-searing pyrotechnic display, wearing a revealing leather corset and shredded fishnets!
Lisa: All right, Tokyo… let’s rock ALL! NIGHT! LONG!
Time - 2 hours
Lisa raises one fist in the air and then drops into a power stance, her black fingernails tearing a screeching chord from a cherry-red electric guitar!
Lisa: Yeah, yeah, yeah!
The amps crackle with feedback as the preteen fans wail in protest, covering their ears!
Danny: I don’t think this is going over well…
Carlotta Valentine: Thank you for stating the obvious. You see what I have to put up with? Lisa’s absolutely unmanageable.
Danny: Or maybe you’re just bad at your job.
Carlotta scoffs at you.
Ethan: Is there any chance the fans will come around to the new Lisa?
Addison: I don’t see that happening anytime soon, Ethan…
Lisa: ‘Parents are… garbage! Teachers are… garbage! The government is… garbage!’
Suddenly, the audience of ‘Lisa Mermaid’ fans start cheering!
Ethan: Hey! They’re into it!
Danny: I don’t think they’re cheering for Lisa…
An actor dressed in a cat costume dances onto the stage, her fluffy tail trailing behind her!
Carlotta Valentine: Oh god… I told Lisa not to do this.
Danny: Do what? Who is that cat?
Carlotta Valentine: ‘Ohayo Kitten’… the most popular TV character among Japanese girls aged eight through thirteen. A.K.A. Lisa Mermaid’s target demographic.
The preteen audience watches in stunned silence as Lisa dances over to Ohayo Kitten, whirls around, and tears the costume’s head off!
Danny: Oh my god.
The stadium is suddenly filled with sobbing as all the ‘Ohayo Kitten’ and ‘Little Mermaid’ fans start crying. Lisa’s backup band stops playing, and Lisa finally hears the reaction of the audience.
Lisa: Uh oh.

After the show, Lisa changes behind a screen in the dressing room. You, Addison, and Ethan sit in uncomfortable silence as Lisa’s mom berates her for her performance.
Carlotta Valentine: Are you happy now, Lisa? You made a while stadium full of little girls cry.
Lisa: I didn’t know they were all so young!
Carlotta Valentine’s phone beeps, and she glares at the screen.
Carlotta Valentine: Well, it seems news travels fast. Already some of your sponsors are wondering if your image has changed too much for them. You don’t have the luxury of acting out, Lisa. Your little teenage angst thing isn’t good for business.
Lisa stomps out from behind the screen wearing a faded rock tee, her eyeliner streaked with tears.
Lisa: Leave me alone, mom! You’re such a jerk!
Carlotta Valentine: I’m just asking you to stop terrorizing people and be the wholesome, innocent Lisa you used to pretend to be! That’s what sells! Now, there are going to be a lot of temptations in Saint Petersburg, with the White Nights Festival going on and everything. Try to find some way to enjoy it without making me regret all the years I spent on you.
Part 4
Carlotta Valentine: Just… just stop being Lisa for a few days. Is that too much to ask?
- Complete a Party with Lisa
Air Valentine touches down in Saint Petersburg, Russia just as tensions aboard the private jet reach unbearable levels.
Carlotta Valentine: I’ll make sure everything at the hotel is in order… you kids run along and enjoy the festival. And Lisa… don’t do anything Lisa Mermaid wouldn’t do. Got it?
Lisa: I’m twenty years old, mom. I don’t have to do what you say.
Carlotta Valentine: You will if you don’t want to end up like the hundreds of teen starlets who’ve wrecked their careers. Don’t do anything that’ll get you on the cover of TMZ and scare off your sponsors, understand?
Lisa: Ugh, fine!
You and your friends board a shuttle heading for the city center.
Danny: So what is this festival we’re going to?
Lisa: The White Nights Festival… it’s an annual art culture celebration. This far north, the sun doesn’t set for two days each year. So it’s basically a nonstop party today and tomorrow.
Ethan: Whoa! Sick!
Addison: So… why do you sound so sad?
Lisa: Because I have to ‘be good’ and ‘stay off the front page of TMZ!’ That last concert was a disaster… I need to do some serious image maintenance to avoid any more PR nightmares.
Danny: Well, I’m sure there will be stuff to do at the festival that won’t get you on the front page of the tabloids…
Lisa: Yeah… I hope so.
Fireworks explode overhead as you and your friends depart the bus and arrive in the city square.
Ethan: Now this is a party.
The square is packed with revelers pounding shots of vodka and blasting electronic music. The onion domes of historic buildings glitter in the light of the fireworks. A shirtless guy with a trendy haircut and a menagerie of tattoos on his body taps you on the shoulder.
Danny: Oh, hi!
He hands you a pamphlet of tattoo designs and gestures with a handheld tattoo gun, inviting you to choose one in a thick Russian accent.
Lisa: Tattoos? In Russia? During the White Nights Festival? This could not be any cooler!
Ethan: Probably not such a hot idea, Lisa… a picture of you getting a spontaneous tattoo would definitely earn TMZ a lot of site traffic.
Lisa: Argh! I hate this… but if you guys want to get tattoos, you should do it.
Danny: Hmm, I think I’ll get a star.
Addison: That’ll look so cute! What does it mean?
Ethan: That Danny’s gonna be a star someday. Right, Danny?
Danny: Sure, why not.
The tattoo artist outlines the star and then traces over it with the tattoo gun.
Danny: Ow. Ow. Ow. Worth it.
Lisa: What I wouldn’t give to be experiencing that pain right now…

Afterwards you and your friends return to the hotel, where Lisa’s mom has had your luggage brought to your rooms.
Carlotta Valentine: Well, Lisa, I’ve been checking trending stories on Twitter, TMZ, and Perez Hilton all day, and I haven’t seen any mention of you. I suppose I should congratulate you on not embarrassing yourself and me.
Lisa: Yeah. Thanks, mom.
Carlotta Valentine: Just keep it up for tomorrow’s concert, and you’ll be golden. I’ve taken the liberty of revising your set list.
Lisa: What? No way, I am not singing ‘Lisa Mermaid’ songs tomorrow!
Carlotta Valentine: You don’t have to sing ‘Lisa Mermaid’ songs… why don’t you sing ‘Afterschool Romance’?
Lisa: No. Way.
Danny: ‘Afterschool Romance’? What’s that?
Lisa: I may have released a tween pop album during my ‘Lisa Mermaid’ years… I was trying to find my voice!
Carlotta Valentine: Well, you’re certainly not going to sing any of your angsty Lisa Valentine songs. Sing ‘Afterschool Romance’, or sing nothing at all. We are not losing valuable sponsorships just because you want to ‘be true to yourself’ or whatever crap you read off your latte cup this morning.
With that, Carlotta strides out of the room and slams the door behind her.
Lisa: First I have to act innocent all day, and now this? It’s… it’s…
Lisa flops onto the bed and screams into her pillow!
Danny: Do you feel any better?
Lisa: ….no.
Part 5
Ethan: I hope this concert goes better than the last one…
- Level 3+ Lisa
You and your friends sleep through the midnight sun and wake up on the second day of the White Nights Festival. You pile into a limo waiting outside the hotel, and soon you’re all sitting in the front row of Lisa’s next concert.
Danny: I hope this ones goes better than Tokyo…
Carlotta Valentine: If Lisa just follows my advice and sticks to ‘Afterschool Romance’, it’ll be fine.
Onstage, Lisa dances through a shower of rose petals and glitter, wearing a pastel pink dress and matching Mary Jane shoes!
Lisa: Hiiii, Saint Petersburg! Let’s get this party started! ‘We were waiting afterschool, trying too hard to look cool! I saw you across the quad, thought that you were pretty hot! You asked me for a dance, it was an aaafterschool romaaaance!’
The stadium sits in stunned silence punctuated by a few halfhearted cheers.
Danny: Oh no. I don’t think any of the audience expected… this.
Time - 4 hours
The audience grows more apathetic by the moment as Lisa’s setlist continues. Soon, people start to trickle out of the arena, and the crowd thins more and more with each new song.
Danny: Oh, poor Lisa…
Carlotta Valentine: Poor Lisa? She’s barely making an effort! No wonder her career’s in such a shambles if she’s surrounded by suck-ups like you!
Lisa: ‘Our lockers were side by side, babe you had me hypnotized.’
Addison: Are all of these songs about meeting cute guys at school?
Finally, the concert ends as Lisa finishes her final song. A ripple of unenthusiastic applause echoes in the quickly emptying arena.
Lisa: Thank you all for coming out to see my show tonight! I really… I really enjoyed it, and I hope you d-did too! Bye!
Lisa rushes backstage, wiping at her eyes with the back of her hand.
Danny: We should go talk to her.
Carlotta Valentine: Yes, there’s certainly a lot I’d like to say to Lisa right about now!

In the dressing room, Lisa stares into a full-length mirror, looking at the pastel pink-wearing girl in front of her. Carlotta’s grimacing face appears over her shoulder as you and your friends follow Lisa’s mom into the dressing room.
Carlotta Valentine: What do you have to say for yourself?
Lisa: What do I have to say for myself? What do you have to say for yourself?! They hated me, mom… all because I played those stupid songs like you told me to do!
Carlotta Valentine: You barely even tried, Lisa! That was one of your worst performances, ever!
Lisa: Maybe I’d try harder if you would just let me be myself! I’m tired of trying to ‘play it safe’ and be whatever will sell the most concert tickets!
Carlotta Valentine: This isn’t a movie, Lisa. This is real life. You can’t just ‘be yourself’ and expect everyone to like it. You want to ignore my advice and ruin your career? Fine. When we get to Barcelona, you can go ahead and do just that.
Part 6
Carlotta Valentine: You want to be yourself? Be yourself. Just try not to humiliate me in the process.

As you reach the final leg of Lisa’s World Tour, Air Valentine swoops low over the ocean and touches down in Barcelona. You look out over the cityscape, its modern architecture clashing beautifully with the eccentric spires of Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia.
Carlotta Valentine: Well, I’ll arrange our hotel. Lisa… you do whatever you want. I don’t care anymore.
Lisa just shrugs while her mom strides away, leading luggage handlers toward a waiting shuttle.
Addison: I heat there’s a restaurant nearby with unlimited paella and beer! Unlimited!
Lisa: Yeah… I kind of want to explore the city first. Does anyone else mind renting bicycles for a little bit?
Ethan: Wait… Lisa Valentine would rather ride bicycles than--
You shoot Ethan a warning look.
Danny: Biking sounds great, Lisa. Let’s find some rentals.
You and your friends pedal through Barcelona on rented bicycles, flying past elegant historic palaces and bizarre works of stunningly creative architecture. The sun warms your back as you meander through a maze of manicured hedges in a labyrinthian park, the wheels of your bicycle churning up the fine white sand of the paths.
Addison: Hey, Lisa, wait up!
Danny: It’s okay, Addison. I think she needs a little space.
Up ahead, Lisa stashes her bike on the rental company’s bike rack, then stands waiting for you to do the same.
Danny: Did you have fun?
Lisa: Yeah. That was… that was nice.
Ethan: Ready to check out the nightlife? I’m sure we could find a good tapas bar around here somewhere…
Lisa: Let’s do it.
You all squeeze into a row of leather stools in a dimly lit tapas bar. A mirror behind the bar shimmers through the gloom, reflecting the warm light of flickering candles. The bartender sets out dishes piled with stuffed olives, tiny fried squids, flaky empanadas, and sauteed mushrooms, along with a decanter of vermouth.
Addison: This was a very good idea!

As your friends dig into the wide assortment of tapas spread across the bar, you turn to Lisa.
Danny: How are you feeling about tomorrow?
Lisa: You mean the concert? Don’t remind me.
Danny: What do you mean? Aren’t you excited to go out there and show everyone the real Lisa Valentine?
Lisa: I don’t know, Danny… what if my mom’s right? What if people don’t like the ‘real’ Lisa Valentine?
Danny: The way I see it, you can either be the Lisa your fans want you to be, the Lisa your mom wants you to be, or the Lisa you want to be. And if that last girl’s anything like the Lisa Valentine I know… she’s going to be amazing.
Lisa: Thanks, Danny… that’s… that’s really sweet of you.
Danny: I just call ‘em like I see ‘em.
Lisa puts a hand on your arm and leans in to whisper, her lips brushing your ear.
Lisa: You could kiss me right now, if you wanted to…
You pull Lisa in, tilting her bar stool toward you as your lips meet in a tender kiss.
Lisa: You always know just what to say.
Danny: Glad I could help.
Just then, Lisa glances at her phone to check the time.
Lisa: I should probably get some sleep.
Ethan: What? It’s only eleven. Don’t tell me you’re quitting now!
Lisa: Sorry, Ethan. I’ve got a big day tomorrow. And… thanks again, Danny. I mean it.
Part 7
Danny: I have a feeling Lisa’s final concert will be a little different from her last two…
- Level 4+ Lisa
The next day, you and your friends are sitting front row at Lisa’s final concert.
Carlotta Valentine: Well, it looks like I’m not the only one Lisa will end up disappointing today…
Danny: What is that supposed to mean?
Carlotta Valentine: ‘Lisa Mermaid’ and ‘Lisa Valentine’ fans have shown up for this show. Obviously no one even knows what to expect from Lisa anymore.
You glance about at the strange mix of fans… middleschoolers wearing ‘Lisa Mermaid’ t-shirts standing alongside young adults in ripped jeans and spiked cuffs.
Ethan: This… probably isn’t an ideal audience.
Danny: Come on, guys… I’m sure Lisa can make it work.
Carlotta Valentine: And just what are you basing that off of? Did you sleep through the last two concerts?
Addison: Shh! It’s starting!
A single spotlight sweeps the stage, searching the darkness before finally settling on Lisa, dressed in a simple grey t-shirt and skinny jeans.
Lisa: Hi, everyone. I know some of you are here for ‘Lisa Mermaid’, and some of you are here for ‘Lisa Valentine’.
The two groups of fans cheer as their favorite versions of Lisa are mentioned.
Lisa: But… before I start the show, there’s something I want to say.
Time - 6 hours
The crowd is silent as Lisa paces the stage, staring out at them.
Lisa: This tour hasn’t really gone my way so far. To be honest, it’s been kind of a disaster. It’s been… difficult to settle on who to be when everyone wants me to be something different. I’m sure you’ve all felt pressure to be someone you’re not, and sometimes it feels like you have to be what other people want you to be. My friend Danny helped me realize that’s not true. You always have a choice… and just being yourself is always an option.
You, Ethan, and Addison smile at Lisa from the front row as the audience members start to clap.
Lisa: Yeah… thanks, guys. Um… that’s about all I have to say. Sorry if I made things weird, everyone.
The fans burst into thunderous applause as Lisa finishes her speech! Carlotta Valentine rolls her eyes.
Lisa: Enough talk. Let’s start the show!

Lisa puts on her best concert yet, singing all of her favorite songs instead of trying to cater to the audience! The audience applauds wildly as the concert comes to a close, and Lisa pulls you and your friends up on stage with her!
Addison: Lisa, you were amazing!
Ethan: That was possibly one of the best shows I’ve ever been to. I’m being totally serious.
Danny: It was awesome, Lisa. Everyone could tell you were really having fun with it, too!
Lisa: I couldn’t have done it without you guys. Especially you, Danny.
Lisa pulls you all into a big hug as the fans cheer!
Carlotta Valentine: It looks like people do like ‘the real Lisa.’ Well, there’s no accounting for taste. Now, let’s talk about your next move… You’re flying high now, but you’re going to crash and burn without my help. I know you.
Lisa glares at her mom, ready to start yelling. But then, her expression clears, and she shakes her head.
Lisa: You want to manage something? Manage to find your own flight home.
Carlotta Valentine: You do not speak to me like that, young lady! You get back here right now!
You shrug at Carlotta as Lisa turns on her heel and walks away, the cheers of the crowd still echoing through the stadium.
Danny: That was pretty harsh, Lisa! I’m not saying your mom doesn’t deserve it… but what if she can’t find a flight home?
Lisa: Oh, don’t worry about that. I brought her some tickets for this evening… but she’ll be flying coach.
