Hope and Chelsea find you and Julian after school!
Danny: Hey! It’s been a while since I’ve seen you around. How are you guys doing?
Chelsea: We’ve been great! No more trouble at school.
Hope: That’s kind of why we wanted to come see you guys today. You remember that organization I joined, Cybersmile?
Danny: Yeah, the anti-cyberbuullying nonprofit that started in the U.K., right?
Hope: Yeah! Well, Chelsea and I volunteer for them, answering calls and taking questions from people who email in. Cybersmile’s opening an office here in the United States! We’re having a party at the office tonight, and I wanted to invite you and your friends over! It’ll be great! You’d get to visit the foundation, see the kind of work Chelsea and I are doing, eat some snacks...
Chelsea: And I hear there will be some VERY special guests there...
Hope: Yeah, you won’t want to miss out! And you’re welcome to invite whoever you want for the party!
Danny: Say no more... I’m totally in!
Hope: Great! You and Julian should come a little early, and we’ll give you a tour.
Julian: We’ll be there!
Later that evening, you, Julian, and your friends arrive at the Cybersmile office, where the party is just being set up. As you walk around with Julian, he suddenly gets a text.
Julian: Hope just texted me to tell us that she’s wrapping some stuff up. We can meet her in the back.
You and Julian walk to the back rooms of the office where you find Hope and Chelsea! They’re on the phone, talking to different people.
Chelsea: ...yep, you can always visit our website for advice on how to deal with cyberbullies...
On another phone nearby...
Hope: ...it’s really great that you were able to tell your parents... that’s the very first step! Uh- huh... ...well, if you need to talk to us more or if you have any questions, just give us a call back! We’re here for you 24/7! Take care!
Hope hangs up and spots you and Julian.
Hope: Hey, you’re here! Welcome to Cybersmile!
Hope: I’m so glad you could make it!
Julian: Look at you... volunteering, answering people’s questions... you know, I’m really impressed with everything you’re doing here. It seems like you’ve really grown up, little sis.
Hope: Aww, thanks, Julian! I’m just glad I can contribute in some way. It’s really rewarding helping people. Just like Danny does!
Danny: Well, I’m impressed too. It’s incredible what you’re both doing.
Chelsea: Hey, do you and your friends want to try your hand at it? We have time for a few phone calls before the party really gets started...
Danny: Yeah!
Hope: Well, grab the best listeners in your group of friends, and I’ll give you some tips!
You come back to Hope with Kimia, Alex and Maya!
Kimia: Hi, Hope! Thanks for having us!
Alex: We want to be Cybersmileres too!
Maya: How do we get started?
Hope: Well, I’ve asked a few of our regular volunteers to run through some basic training with you all. They’re also going to be helping with the calls!
Hope gestures to three waving volunteers.
Hope: Are you guys ready?
Danny: Yep!
A short time later...
Hope: ...so to recap, when you’re being cyberbullied, the best thing to do is to stop responding to the bully and block them, get proof of the bullying, and report it to a trusted adult! We also have a lot of information on the Cybersmile website if people have questions, or they can always contact us via phone, email or social network! Any questions?
Kimia: No... I think I’ve got it.
Alex: I know the material, but I hope I remember what to say...
Maya: What if I forget?
Hope: That’s why you have a highly-trained volunteer at your side! They’re listening in just in case you run into any issues! So let’s get started!
Guided by the trained volunteers, you and your friends start taking calls. Hope directs them to you.
Hope: All right, Kimia, I have a girl on the line who wants to avoid becoming a victim of cyberbullying.
Kimia: Okay... I think I can take that one... Hello? Hi there... it’s good that you’re thinking of ways to protect yourself. The first thing you should know is that you should never give out your personal information like your passwords to anyone, including your friends...
Hope: And Alex, this guy wants to know how to block bullies online...
Alex: I’ve got this... Hello? Yes, we can recommend methods of how to block and report bullied online so that you don’t have to put up with their messages anymore... let me direct you to our site...
Hope: And Maya, this girl wants to know how she can help us out. Can you recommend our website to her?
Maya: Of course! Hello? Hi there! If you’d like to get involved and combat cyberbullying, try visiting the ‘Get Involved’ sections on the Cybersmile webpage....
Hope turns to you.
Hope: All right, Danny, this guy has been receiving hateful messages online. Can you walk him through the process of dealing with a cyberbully?
Danny: Yes. I, uh, think so...
Hope: Are you nervous?
Danny: I just don’t want to say the wrong thing.
Hope: You won’t... but I’ll be helping you out in case you do!
Danny: Okay, thanks...
You pick up your phone.
Danny: Hello? ...yes, I’m so sorry to hear that you’re being cyberbullied. We’re very glad you called... the first thing you should do is block the bully!
Hope gives you a big thumbs-up!
Danny: It’s important that you don’t engage with them. In fact, you should stop responding. Then you should definitely save your messages!
Hope nods to you.
Danny: It’s important to get proof that someone was sending you those messages, so make sure you document them in some way. And then, after that, you should tell a trusted adult!
Hope gives you a big smile.
Danny: It can be scary to speak to a parent or teacher about being bullied, but they can get you support and help you out.
The guy on the other end of the line promises to get proof and tell an adult about his issue!
Danny: You can always call back if you need to! Let us know how it goes!
You hang up around the same time as your friends.
Kimia: Whew! That went better than I thought!
Alex: Yeah, it felt really good!
Hope: You guys did great!
Hopes come up to you.
Hope: Thanks for taking a call, Danny. This work is really important to me, and it means a lot to have you be a part of that.
Danny: I was happy to help.
Hope: I know. You helped me when I felt hopeless and alone. You might not think of it this way, but you saved me. I was in a really dark place. If it weren’t for you and my brother, I don’t know what I would have done. And now, thanks to you, I’m here. I’m talking to people who have gone through what I went through, and I’m helping them realize that they don’t deserve to be bullied online or made fun of, that they’re worth being treated right.
Danny: Awww...
Hope: Now come on, you grab Julian! The party’s about to start!
You, Julian, Hope, and your friends walk into a party that’s now in full swing!
Hope: You guys should get some snacks! Settle in!
Danny: Oh, we definitely will!
You’re just about to walk towards the snacks table when Chelsea comes running up.
Chelsea: OMG, OMG...
Hope: What, Chelsea?
Chelsea: They’re HERE! Our SPECIAL GUESTS!
Julian: Who are you talking about?
Hope: Them!
The crowd parts, and you look to where Hope is pointing...
Danny: Oh, WOW... I can’t believe it! It’s... It’s...
Danny: It’s ONE DIRECTION!
Julian: What are they doing here?
Hope: They’re active supporters of Cybersmile!
Chelsea: And they’re coming this way!
Harry, Niall, Louis, Zayn, and Liam walk up to you!
Harry: Hi, Hope, Chelsea...
Chelsea: Oh, wow, Harry Styles knows my name! I am SO not freaking out right now...
Hope elbows Chelsea.
Chelsea: I, er, I mean... welcome to the party!
Hope: We’re SO excited that you could make it!
Louis: So are we!
Niall: It’s a great cause.
Liam: Who are you friends?
Hope: This is my brother, Julian...
Julian: Hey.
Hope: ...and his friend, Danny. Danny is the one who inspired me to become a Cybersmiler, actually.
Harry: Is that right? Glad to meet you, Danny!
He shakes your hand!
Danny: Nice to meet you too! I imagine you guys must be really busy, so it’s great that you could come down here and support Cybersmile!
Liam: We’re quite happy to be here!
Hope: So now that you are... can we show you guys around the party?
Liam: Yeah, sure. Lead away!
Chelsea: Over by the entrance we’ve got some photos of the fundraising events Cybersmile has held...
Hope: Drinks and appetizers are being served on that side of the room...
Danny: And don’t forget the dance floor over there!
After touring the party and hanging out with One Direction for a while...
Hope: Can I get you guys anything else to drink or eat?
Harry: We’re good for now.
Danny: Just let us know!
Liam: Sure. But we’re just enjoying ourselves while we celebrate a good cause.
Louis: We don’t like cyberbullying. Definitely not cool...
Zayn: So what you guys have done at Cybersmile is brilliant.
Hope: Yeah, it’s a really difficult issue that a lot of people face.
Chelsea: And it definitely helps to have your support!
Niall: Yeah, we’d like to support you in any way we can.
Hope: Would you guys mind signing a few autographs, maybe? I’m sure everyone here would love that...
Harry: Yeah, just have people pop on over.
Danny: I know some people who would be interested... I will be right back!
You return to One Direction with Greyson, Maddie, and Maya in tow!
Maya: ONE DIRECTION!
Harry: Ha ha, hi!
Maddie: I’m so so SO excited to meet you guys, I could die!
Louis: Please don’t.
Greyson: WILL YOU SIGN MY PHONE?!
Niall: Yes! Let’s get started, shall we?
Greyson, Maddie, and Maya crowd around One Direction!
Greyson: Here! Sign my phone! I’ve got a custom cover of your guys’ latest album photo! I look at it all the time! Make it out to Greyson.
Liam: Got it!
Maddie: And I’m wearing my lucky shirt. It’d be even luckier if you signed it!
Niall: Here you go!
Maya: I didn’t bring anything with me, but can you sign my arm? I’ll never wash it again!
Zayn: Ha ha, you could just take a picture...
Maya: That’s an even better idea!
For a while, One Direction signs autographs! Near the end of the evening, they meet up again with you, Hope and Chelsea.
Harry: Hey... glad we caught up with you. It’s been fun, but we have to take off now.
Zayn: Again, great work with the anti-cyberbullying campaign.
Liam: Actually, we wanted to give you something as a token of our appreciation!
Liam hands you guys a set of collector dolls, signed by the whole band!
Chelsea: This is so totally sweet!
Hope: Thank you!
Louis: Keep up the good work!
After One Direction leaves...
Danny: That was pretty cool...
Chelsea: That was more than ‘pretty cool’... it was AMAZINGLY SUPER COOL! We have signed One Direction collector’s items! Although I don’t know how we’re going to decide who gets them. I’ll take them if you don’t want them.
Hope: I’d like them... but I don’t think we should be the ones to keep them.
Chelsea: What are you talking about?
Hope: Chelsea, they have the collector dolls to Cybersmile. We should share these with everyone who’s ever supported our cause. All Cybersmilers everywhere should get the chance!
Chelsea: I hate to say this, but there’s only one set of collector dolls. How are we going to do that?
Danny: I have an idea... we could do a giveaway! We’ll have people enter, and we’ll pick a winner!
Hope: I like it! But how do people but their names in?
Danny: Well...
