Nope. Nada.

Niet.

No.

Oh, wait!

Nine. Wow, a girl who can reject in any language.

I'm going through the responses from all the record labels I sent my demo to.

Hmm.

Nope. I never knew you were psychic.

What am I going to have for lunch today?

Food. Whoa.

Right.

Better watch what I think about you. I'm not psychic, but watch what you...

think about me anyway i've gone through so many of these i can tell just by the

weight if it's a rejection my last one

so

what am i thinking about now you're thinking you're gonna do a dancer so

for me whoa eerie

Watching the time pass, no way to get out and hang out with my friends. Find

what's new, who's watching on who.

And if everyone's new, it's a whole new scene.

And the pages are...

a happy anniversary.

I didn't know you were married. Two years ago, Steve, me, my old bud,

Oakman, set the McPhee's book of famous records record for batting a balloon

back and forth.

47 hours. It was epic.

Oh, you must have been proud and very, very bored.

Not at all. We kept each other entertained with stories.

Sherman had this great one where... Sorry.

I must have drifted off during your riveting balloon story. Please continue.

No, I was just saying that Sherm has a...

Sherm

the Sherman. Happy anniversary, dude.

What? You beat our old record?

Really? How long?

49 hours?

With Dunkelman?

But Dunkelman is my arch nemesis.

Stay chill, dude. Ciao.

Wait, so...

Your old friend teams up with your arch rival to break your McFeeney record, and

all you can muster is stay chill, buddy. Ciao.

Hi, Sherm. One more thing.

Wow, Mr. Pierce, this is a lot of work. This is the last fiscal review of all

the companies I own.

But you... have some wacky doing all of this for you well normally i would but

this gives me a chance to check up on my honeybee and how is she doing by the

way oh well she's finally realized that cab money doesn't mean limo money so

that's good yeah amanda's growing up so fast i i can't always be there for her i

just get worried that she doesn't need me anymore daddy

You better stick around for a while, sir. Otherwise, she'll be in for a rough

landing. You seem excited. Are you still harassing my assistant?

The man had it coming, but that's not why I'm happy.

Remember how it was always your dream to walk down the red carpet at the music

awards? Not really.

Okay, it was mine, but I'll totally bring you with me.

Let me guess.

You've got a recording contract.

Spark Records said yes. I finally did something on my own. Yay, Amanda. I am

proud of you. This calls for a celebration.

I know.

Hello, Daddy's assistant.

Fill my room with flowers.

Pink ones.

Shaped like recording contracts.

Oh, you baby.

Jack, it's me right here.

You'll be calling one of your finalists in two days at four o 'clock sharp?

I look forward to talking to you then.

See? Because it's going to be me.

Hello?

Hello?

I'm a finalist for Born 97's Anne of Green Gables contest.

A museum is drawing everything Anne, and I can see it for free. Do you know what

this means?

GPS, integrated Wi -Fi, 30 gigs of memory?

Yes!

What? No.

Behold, the third generation Glee phones. Lick, cutting edge, and

Like me, but in a phone. You have to get one. My phone? may be out of date, but

it does have backgammon.

You just don't get it, do you? Phones are not for playing backgammon. They're

for taking pictures and listening to music.

And making phone calls?

To a lesser extent, yes.

I happen to be perfectly happy with my phone. But that's out of ignorance.

Look, I'm online checking emails and fitting on a signed copy of the Good

Bad Witch soundtrack.

And that's all very nice, but my old phone hasn't let me down yet.

Oh dear, my battery just died.

Well, my new phone recharged itself off my self -confidence.

Here. Why don't you take my old one?

Why would I want to answer all of your calls?

Dear Rebecca, so young, so naive.

It's simple. All you have to do is switch the SIM card.

Does your SIM card have backgammon? No. Nerd was not one of its features.

Apparently neither was Politeness.

No way, Wilder. Find some other dunkleman to help you reclaim your

about it, dude. You, me, a chance at immortality.

I'm not going to spend two days batting a balloon back and forth. Why not? It's

totally fun. Totally fun? No, why didn't you tell me in the first place?

Guys? Miss Dress, can you help me make my case for Noah to set a McPheony's

of famous records record for balloon bouncing?

That case kind of makes itself.

Cut it out or I'll let it hit the ground. Bet you can't. I would also bet

That's ridiculous.

So, ladies and gentlemen, he's in. What have you done to me? Made you part of

history, baby.

Who else has he managed?

Who?

Never heard of him. Listen, look up the biggest name in showbiz and then find

their manager.

Then find the guy he's jealous of.

There's my honeybee.

Daddy!

I think I've seen you more this week than all of the last year.

I'm a busy man.

I'm just wrapping up the Bud Fisker review, but why don't we go out to

tonight to celebrate your record contract?

Goody, but put the reservation under my name. They might as well get used to

hearing it.

What's with all the clothes?

For my album cover photo shoot, I'm picturing me in a bikini surrounded by a

guy.

I'm picturing you in a parka surrounded by my security staff.

Seriously.

Daddy's assistant?

Cancel the bikini fitting.

And the hot guys.

Michael, do you have a second?

Nope, but I got a third.

Generation Glee phone?

Oh, wit. Why have you blessed me so?

I have a few questions about this phone you gave me. No problem. Shoot. I've

mastered answering it. Boy, that was a long night. But I still don't know how

make a call. Well, it's simple. You dial the number, then you hit the little

button with the phone on fire.

Then how do you hang up?

With the button that looks like a spatula?

No, you press the button with the phone that looks like it stinks.

Got it?

I think so.

All right.

Wait, one more question.

Why? Rebecca, maybe this phone is a little too advanced for you. Why don't

just switch back to your old one? I would, but I already gave it to Baba.

old phone had a crank on it.

Don't worry. Your new phone has a button that makes jokes like that funny.

Okay. Michael gets me again.

Wait!

Long day, huh?

Yeah, especially after last night at my house.

Luckily, the rules say that if you doze off, I can bounce it off your face.

That explained my dream about a balloon being bounced off my face.

Although I'm still waiting for that dream where I wear your clothes to end.

Seriously, you didn't have one pair of long pants you can lend me.

Those aren't my long pants.

And you thought you wouldn't like this. You're enjoying this as much as I am.

What's not to enjoy? The drama, the challenge.

The idea that in just 21 hours, our names will be etched in the annals of

history. Noah Jackson and Wilder.

Um, actually, I said in the attempt notice that Wilder and Noah Jackson.

But my name comes before yours does. No, it doesn't. Yes, it does,

alphabetically. Oh, I listed in order of awesomeness.

If I don't get fair billing, then I can't help you with your record.

Fine by me, dude.

Why does this have to be so much fun?

That's about it.

Thanks for all your help on this, DJ.

No problem, sir.

I'll make sure these get to head office. I was going that way anyway. You know,

I always like to take a long, inconvenient route home with 85 pounds

Well, let me help you.

Always remember, bend with your knees.

Don't use so hard!

Sorry,

DJ. I'd stay and help, but I have some business to attend to. No!

Jack Spark Records?

Cool. That's a company that just signed Amanda. What a coincidence.

Oh.

Hey, honey bee, what are you up to?

Hi, Daddy. I'm just signing up for tomorrow's open mic night. A little

my fans. That's my girl.

Hey, now that I'm a superstar, do I get a baby deer?

Well, I guess you get anything you want, sweetie.

Hey, DJ, I get a baby deer.

Of course you do.

Maybe. Can you speak with your dad for a minute?

Sure. I have to talk to the blurb's event coordinator about the shocking

publicity.

Hey, smoothie maker, get me a poster maker.

And a banana smoothie.

Diamond chip off the old block.

So, what do you want to talk to me about?

Okay, here it is.

I know that you own Drive Spark Records.

I also know that.

Right. Well, then I guess what I'm trying to say is...

Does Amanda know?

No. Isn't it perfect?

She gets to feel independent, and I get to be involved in her career. And she'll

never be the wiser.

So you're not going to tell her? Oh, and break her heart? Of course not. Look,

this is what she always wanted to do.

And I just want to make my honey bee happy.

An exercise you always use, but I've never been in the show before.

Can't blame her father for trying.

Let's put this in the confidential file, shall we?

Come on, honey.

Does it really matter which name goes first? Of course it matters. Nobody ever

says Robin and Batman or Rollin' Rock or Chips and Fish. Exactly.

Whoa! Keep it away from the pointy plant.

So.

How's everything with the balloon batting duo?

We professionals prefer the term balloonies. We also prefer that when I

over, Noah should provide regular -sized clothes that don't interfere in our

hand skills.

I am six inches taller than you. Oh, it's all about Noah, isn't it?

Noah thinks his name should go before mine in the record books. And Balloony

here thinks his name should go first because he came up with the idea.

How about one of you put your name first in the North American books and the

other first in Europe?

Nope. No deal.

Europe just doesn't have the same respect for baloony culture.

There may be one other way to settle this. Name it. You could help me prune

cactus.

There you are. I have one more question about this phone.

Fume. I know, I know, but I still can't figure out call waiting. And Bore97

could call me today at 4 o 'clock for the Anne of Green Gables exhibit.

Uh, gee, I wonder how to make this book go.

is important.

This exhibit is sold out for months.

This may be the only way I get to see it. Do I read it this way or this way?

Where do I plug it in?

It's all so confusing.

Never mind.

I think I broke it.

How much longer do I have to keep hitting this thing?

Until Wilder gets out of the bathroom.

Great. There goes my afternoon.

Yeah, I wouldn't go making dinner plans either.

Hey, congrats on the record deal.

Thanks. And don't worry, Noah. When I'm famous, I'll forget about you little

people. You're forgetting us now, and you're not even close to famous.

I'm a forward thinker.

So what label did you sign with?

It's a new label with a roster of up -and -comers called Jive Spark.

Jive Spark? Isn't that owned by... What?

Never mind.

What? Jive Spark is owned by what?

No, no, I said live...

Bark is toned... There is no way you can make a sentence out of that. Hang on,

give me a chance.

Live bark is toned by trainers.

Tell me or I'll stop hitting this balloon. Okay, okay.

No need to get vicious.

I'm pretty sure Jive Spark is one of the bunch of companies your dad owns. As

if! I know all the companies Daddy owns.

Yeah? And in that fourth of companies, there's no chance you missed the tree

labeled Jive Spark?

I didn't miss any trees. And just because the height of your fame involves

wanting a balloon...

Then we need to make stuff up about me.

No, wait.

And this is why my name goes first.

It's no use.

Tell me about it. I can't find any proof that Daddy owns Jive Spark.

Why don't you just call and ask?

That's perfect.

I'll call the record label and make the kind of outrageous demands they'd only

expect from the boss's daughter.

I meant call your dad and ask him.

On the phone, plotting.

Hi. Jack Sparks, phone answerer. This is Amanda Pierce, and I have some

outrageous demands.

I want two private jets, one for me and one for my clothes and shoes.

Oh, thank you.

Then I want an entourage for my dear.

You can do that, too.

I also want to sing with five hot guys, and I want to do it in a bikini.

No bikinis?

On company president's order?

You faked my contract? How could you pull such a terrible trick?

Honeybee, no, it wasn't a trick.

Hello, assistant.

Fill up my daughter's room with pink balloons shaped like apologies.

Oh, you baby.

Guys, how's the McBeanie record coming?

Okay, well, maybe this will cheer you up.

I need a balloon.

That did cheer me up. Listen, I called the McFeeney record people, and they've

agreed to count all of the hours you guys have done together toward any hours

you do apart.

So we'll each get a chance to set our own record? If you want to split up.

Great. Perfect.

May the best balloonist win.

Hey, it's balloony.

Huh?

Horace497, I'd love to attend the museum's Anne of Green Gables exhibit.

I'm practicing my phone voice when they do call.

Anne is one of my favorite literary heroes.

MSB, the radio station!

I won! I'm the winner!

Wow, I never thought I'd hear you say that.

Anne of Green Gables' number one fan, Rebecca Hart.

Oh, hi, Baba.

Still haven't mastered call display?

Shocking, yet not.

Hold on, Baba.

You know what, Michael?

For a best friend, you sure are mean sometimes.

You know, you're so bad at using a phone that... Oh.

Snap.

No, Baba. I'm still waiting.

It's beeping!

It's 497!

Gotta go, Baba.

And Green Gable's number... Baba?

Oh, no!

How do I switch over? Come on!

Step aside, Rebecca.

Hello, Baba?

There's a fella on Wombo Booska's hectic hectares. If you leave now, you...

Excellent. Now on a Bore 97.

Hello? Anne of Green Gables' number one fan's best friend, Michael Davies.

I would be delighted to go to the exhibit.

And I know just who to take.

Here. I think I'll take my old phone back.

You need this more than I do.

You're just giving it to me?

A third -generation Glee phone?

I don't want you to miss an important call like that again.

So I've decided I'm through with the mean -spirited phone jokes.

Thanks, Michael. That's sweet.

Hey, doesn't that backgammon? Do you have to test me so soon?

This is so much more fun.

Totally more fun.

I get to focus on me and my triumph.

Oh!

Nice save.

Thanks.

Hey, remember that time when I wanted to bring the balloon to the ceiling fan

store and you said not to? Yeah, that was awesome.

Oh, remember that time when we were on the bus and the bus driver told us to

stop adding our balloon and we didn't? Oh, I love that time.

Remember that time when we stopped being partners and our lives turned into a

dark cloud of solo ballooning sadness?

Remember it.

I'm living it.

Put her there, fellow balloony. Yeah.

Hey, remember that time when we decided to start ballooning again?

Kinda.

Hey, remember that time when I said, remember that time when you said, like,

kinda? When you're all like, kinda?

How about

letting

your boss explain?

What's to explain?

Your company gave me a pity contract?

How about letting your dad explain?

Lately, I've been feeling like Daddy's little girl isn't so little anymore.

I mean, you've grown up so fast. I'm worried that you don't need me to

you anymore.

I was just trying my hardest to keep you close.

So this new contract is your way of keeping me close?

Even if I wasn't there with you.

There's another good way you could be there for me.

Be there for me.

That I can do.

You can start tonight at open mic night.

Sounds fantastic.

Now that you've ripped up your contract, does that mean I don't have to buy you

a baby deer?

Seeing as I already spent a fortune on baby deer clothes, you better buy me one

anyway.

and a creepy animals exhibit.

I can't wait to tell Boba.

Where's the Glee phone?

Boba was driving me loopy trying to figure out how to use my phone, so I

her the Glee phone.

You're right, anyone can use it.

That explains all the bingo photos I've been getting.

No!

Do you see this?

That's a tear.

Tell me you don't have an agent.

Daddy.

I had nothing to do with it.

No, I don't have an agent. Yeah!

Let's make this happen.

Drop my digits on you.

In here.

Five seconds.

Four. Three. We're going to make it. Here it is.

Sorry, guys. I don't really do balloon acts.

Just talk.

By the way, I was going to let you put your name first.
