Payton: OMG! OMG! Danny, it finally worked!
Danny: ...uh, what worked?
Payton: I’ve been entering every contest I could find for years. Oh the internet, in magazines, at those display kiosks at the mall... AND I FINALLY WON!!!
Danny: That’s great! What did you win?
Payton: That’s the best part! I won an all-expense paid trip to Hollywood to attend the red carpet premiere of the new Dean Marcus film!
Danny: ...really? He’s awesome!
Payton: I know! Squeeeeeee! And in addition to getting to meet my all-time biggest Hollywood crush EVER... I also get to bring THREE of my friends as an entourage!
Danny: That sounds like a lot of fun. Who are you taking?
Payton: Who do you think? I’m talking to YOU, aren’t I? Now hurry up! Autumn and Julian are already packed up and ready to go!
Your group disembarks the airplane after it arrives at the Los Angeles International Airport.
Autumn: Payton, flying in first class was so amazing!
Julian: No joke! The flight attendants actually WARM the peanuts. All this time I’ve been eating room temperature peanuts like a sucker.
Danny: Heh... not to mention the all-you-can-drink soda service. Or, unrelated, the really fancy airplane restrooms that I had to visit three times...
Payton: I’m glad you guys had fun... But you should know, first-class airfare was just the start! We’ve got more fun than you can possibly imagine ahead of us, and out next adventure is parked right over there!
Payton points over to a limo. The driver holds up a sign that says ‘PAYTON’.
Autumn: ...a limo?
Julian: ...are you serious?
Payton: As serious as my celebrity crush Dean Marcus was in the final scene of ‘Death of Dream’... And he almost won an Oscar for those teary blue eyes! Now pick your jaws up off the tarmac and hop in!
The limo drives through glitzy Los Angeles on the way to Hollywood.
Julian: I don’t usually go in for all that post stuff, but I could get used to all this.
Payton: Sigh... I think I already did.
You open up the run roof and climb halfway out of the limo.
Danny: Wow... look at this place! The beautiful blue sky, the beautiful palm trees, the beautiful people... Being in Hollywood is like being in a dream!
You hold up your arms and yell out...
Danny: I’m on top of the world!
Payton pops up beside you!
Payton: I’m on top of the world too!
Julian: So am I!
Autumn: Don’t forget me!
Several pedestrians stop and cheer along with you! The limo drives on.
A short drive later, you arrive at a beautiful luxury hotel just off Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.
Payton: Okay everyone, this is where we’re staying!
Autumn: ...here? Are you sure?
Julian: This is like the nicest place I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to the Olive Garden.
Payton: And did I mention that we’ll be all the way up in the penthouse suite? I’m going to check us in.
Payton chats with the hotel receptionist and comes back with keycards.
Payton: This way, everyone!
Payton leads your group over to a great glass elevator. It starts to rise, and you go up... And up... And up even more!
The elevator doors open, and you step into an enormous hotel suite with a spacious living area, three large bedrooms, a hot tub... And a spectacular view overlooking all of Hollywood!
Autumn: ...whoa! This entire place is just for us?
Julian: You could fit my whole house in one of those closets.
Danny: And this kitchen is fully stocked.
Payton: Yup! And if we do get hungry, we can order up FREE room service.
Julian: Which is a perk SOMEBODY is totally going to regret having offered!
Payton: There’s just ONE teensy downside. There aren’t enough beds!
Danny: Oh, that’s no problem. We’ll build a pillow fort.
Autumn: ...a pillow fort?
Danny: Seriously, when are we ever going to have access to this many couch cushions and pillows again? Plus if we stay up all night in the pillow fort... Nobody has to go without a bed!
Payton: OMG! I love it! Everybody collect some couch cushions now!
A few minutes later, everyone convenes in the central chamber of your elaborate pillow metropolis.
Julian: So what next?
Payton: Well, the premiere and after-party are later tonight... But before that, we have time to go sightseeing and to enjoy a fancy dinner.
Autumn: Well, I know what I’d love to do... take some pictures by the Hollywood sign!
Danny: Then let’s go! Who wants to lead the way?
A little later that afternoon, your group assembles just below the Hollywood sign...
Autumn: Okay, everyone! Squeeze in tight and say ‘I’m ready for my close-up, dahhhling!’
Autumn snaps a few photos and shows them around.
Payton: Ooh! These black-and-white ones are pretty, like an old-person movie... what filter did you use?
Autumn: It’s called 1950s Starlet!
Danny: So is that all the sightseeing we’re doing today?
Payton: Not even! We still need to go shopping on Rodeo Drive!
Julian: And I heard Vin Diesel is filming stunt scenes for his latest action movie. I wanna watch stuff go ‘spode!
Danny: That sounds like a LOT more sightseeing. We’d better get started!
Later, Payton leads your group into shops on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.
Maya: The diamond-encrusted high heels are practically works of art!
Payton: And I’m pretty sure heaven is full of tiny, little purses that look just like these!
Julian: Ehhh, I dunno. This place is kinda freaking me out. There’s no price tags on anything.
Payton: Julian, if you have to ask...
Julian: I know, I know... I can’t afford it.
Payton: No, Julian, it’s not just you. NOBODY can afford it! That’s the whole point! Which is why it’s so amazing that the contest is GIVING me a purse to complete my red carpet look!
Autumn: OMG! That’s so great!
Later on, Julian leads your group right up to the perimeter of a on-location movie shoot.
Julian: Right over here! They’re about to do another take!
The director calls ‘action’ and a tank speeds around a nearby corner and then explodes into a mushroom cloud of bright orange flame! A moment later, several nearby cars explode for no reason at all!
Julian: BADABOOOOOM!!!
Autumn: That didn’t make sense. Half the explosions were completely unexplained!
Julian: Eh, it looked cool. THAT’s enough explanation.
Finally, exhausted and delighted, your group takes a well-deserved break near the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Autumn: I can’t believe how much sightseeing we did today!
Julian: Or how many awesome explosions we saw!
Payton: Okay, so what do we want for dinner?
Maya: Our trip lets us choose from a variety of restaurants. All we have to do is select one!
Payton shows you the dining options printed in the itinerary.
Danny: Well, personally, I think we should go to Ciao Gastronomique!
Julian: ...that sounds fancy!
Payton: You said that like it’s a BAD thing! Ciao Gastronomique is a premier destination for experimental cuisine.
Julian: Experimental? So like when I mix apple sauce and Nutella?
Payton: ...um, if that’s tasty, then yes! Okay, guys, I called, and our reservations are booked.
Payton: Here we are, Ciao Gastronomique!
Your group takes a seat at a table, and then waiters in neo-futuristic kimonos roll up on Segways. They put down bowls of spherical jellies and glasses containing misty, white vapor.
Julian: Uh, what is that? Is that supposed to be... food?
Dinner begins, and you all pick wearily a the strange food-objects in front of you.
Payton: OMG! These weird red grapes taste just like delicious steak with mushrooms!
Autumn: And I think we’re supposed to wash it down with this fog that tastes like apple cider.
Danny: ...Julian, does this food look okay to you?
Julian: Round, square, Gatorade-shaped, whatever. If it’s tasty, I’ll eat it.
After dinner, your group returns to the hotel to freshen up.
Julian: Okay, all joking aside, that ended up being a pretty awesome meal.
Payton: Well, hopefully, yo guys didn’t eat TOO much at dinner. We still need to squeeze into our trendiest outfits for the movie premiere!
Your group arrives at a beautiful Asian-inspired movie palace on Hollywood Boulevard, and you walk down the red carpet.
Payton: OMG! The paparazzi are taking pictures of us! Why do I love this so much?
Several reporters whisper and point in your direction.
Autumn: Danny, they think you’re someone famous!
Danny: Me? Really? I do look amazing in this outfit, but even so... are you sure?
One reporter yells out a question, asking how you feel about landing your first big movie role.
Julian: Whoa... what are you going to do?
You step over to address the reporter.
Danny: I’m sorry, but I don’t think I am who you THINK I am...
You talk with the reporter for a few more minutes and then join back up with your group.
Julian: You were over there a long time. What were you talking about?
Danny: Turns out they were just as excited to talk to an ordinary person attending the premiere! I’m going to be quoted on a movie website!
Payton waves everyone into the theatre.
Payton: Let’s find our seats. The movie is about to start!
The movie ends, and the credits begin to roll. Everyone applauds!
Danny: Oh man... that movie was great!
Autumn: And it had such beautiful cinematography! Payton, what was your favorite part?
Payton: Who can remember? The whole time, I couldn’t stop thinking about meeting Dan Marcus in person at the after-party! Meeting his dreamy eyes... Meeting his perfect hair... Meeting his kissable lips...
After the credits roll, the lights go on. The actors go to the front of the theater to take a bow.
Payton: Look! There’s Dean Marcus! He’s even more gorgeous in person!
Julian: Whatever. So the guy is attractive? So what? Vanessa Hudgens was totally scoping me out in the lobby, and you don’t see me fangirling about it.
The theater empties, and Payton leads the group to the limo.
Payton: Come on! Come on! After-party! Next stop: Me meeting Dean Marcus!
The limo takes you up a winding coastal road to a mansion built right into the rock of a sheer cliff face. The backyard pool extends over the edge and culminates into a shimmery waterfall. Nearby, a hot tub bubbles cheerily. Smooth jazz plays over tiny, hidden speakers. Inside the house, famous actors, directors, and musicians laugh and make small talk.
Autumn: Did you see that? We just walked by Katy Perry!
Julian: And I literally just bumped elbows with Samuel L. Jackson!
Payton: Which ordinarily would be cool to talk about... But THERE’S DEAN MARCUS! OMG! This is finally my chance to talk to him! I’m so excited I can barely breathe! Just like Dean Marcus in the psychiatrist scene in ‘The Wailing Waltons’! He was so sensitive in that role, so huggably sensitive...
Danny: Payton, it’s gonna be okay... just be yourself! Now go talk to him!
Payton runs back over to your group, sobbing into her hands...
Payton: Sob... Sob...
Danny: Payton, oh no! What happened? Did you miss your chance to talk to Dean Marcus?
Payton: No... I talked to him.
Payton: I talked to Dean Marcus, and he was funny and cute and everything I ever imagined he would be... And we got along great!
Danny: So what went wrong?
Payton: Nothing at first, but then he tried to kiss me! It’s a problem because I happen to know that Dean Marcus is ENGAGED to Rachel Lively.
Autumn: Oh, Payton... I’m so sorry.
Julian: Whatever. Forget that guy. He’s a jerk. Just a real handsome jerk that deserves a punch in his handsome jerk face.
Danny: Uh, Julian... where are you going?
Autumn: ...that was purely hypothetical, right?
There’s a scuffle and a surprised shout! A few minutes later, security escorts you all back to your limo and sends you on your way.
Autumn: Well, THAT happened.
Julian: Hey, I just did what we were all thinking... right to his face.
Payton: Guys, I’m exhausted. Can we just go back to the hotel quietly?
Your group returns to the hotel. Payton retreats into her bedroom. From inside, you hear gentle sobs.
Autumn: Oh, that’s so sad. She really took this Dean Marcus thing hard.
Danny: Yeah, sounds like it. I’m going to go in and talk to her.
You open the bedroom door and join Payton on the edge of her bed.
Danny: I’m really sorry that you had a bad night, Payton.
Payton: I know it’s stupid, Danny. It’s just that Dean Marcus always plays such nice guys in his movies, I guess I imagined he’d BE a nice guy too. And then when he tried to kiss me... I feel as foolish as Dean Marcus in the reveal of ‘Eyes Of The Betrayer’.
Danny: It was a creep move, Payton. You deserve better.
Payton: I know, I know... and it was pretty cool to get kicked out of a Hollywood party!
Autumn: Oh, I wouldn’t worry about that...
Julian and Autumn peek their heads in through the bedroom door.
Julian: Yeah, we brought the party here!
You follow Payton out of the bedroom and into the living area. A dozen silver room service carts have been wheeled in.
Payton: What... what is this?
Autumn: Well, we thought some dessert might cheer you up.
Julian: And then we remembered room service was FREE, so we kind of ordered everything. Literally... everything.
Payton runs from cart to cart, inspecting all the delights on offer.
Payton: Milkshakes? Cupcakes? A chocolate fountain?
Danny: This really IS a party!
You, Payton, Autumn and Julian eat your fill. Then you put on swimsuits and relax in the hot tub.
Payton: Thanks you, guys. For everything. Forget Dean Marcus. You three were the REAL stars of this trip!
On the airplane ride home, you sit in a row next to Payton. Julian and Autumn sit in the row behind you. You idly check your Twitter feed.
Danny: Whoa... looks like Dean Marcus and his fiancée split! Sounds like she asked questions about the party and didn’t like the answers she heard.
Payton: So I guess reality is crashing in on him... and in on us too.
Danny: Are you sad to leave Hollywood behind?
Payton: Hope! But I WILL miss seeing famous people every time I go to Starbucks. Besides I have a feeling our next trip won’t be that far away.
Danny: How do you figure?
Payton: Since we had such an amazing time on THIS trip, I’m going to have to enter TWICE as many contests from now on!
Danny: Good luck! But if you DO win, don’t forget to invite all your favorite co-stars. And that includes me!
Autumn: And me!
Julian: And me!
Danny: ...uh, what worked?
Payton: I’ve been entering every contest I could find for years. Oh the internet, in magazines, at those display kiosks at the mall... AND I FINALLY WON!!!
