Joey Drew walked around his studio, looking around and making sure that everyone was doing what they needed to do. "Hey Drew, someone's here ta see ya." Sammy says. Joey smiles and runs to the entrance of the studio. He sees his sweetheart waiting for him, "Joey!" she says, smiling at him. He runs to her, picks her up and spins her around. "Oh it's wonderful to see you my dear, how are you doing today?" All she does is smile and say "It's been ok" she says "but it could have been better if you were with me." She gives him a wink. "I'm sorry, it's been so busy at the studio, we're losing so much money..." "Joey, honey, I was only kidding." She says. He pauses for a moment, and chuckles. "Of course you are dear, always the mischievous one." He holds out his hand for her to take. She smiles and takes it, and follows him into the studio.
"Hey everyone! Look who's paying us a visit today." Joey calls. Everyone stops what their doing, and look to see what the commotion was about. Sammy was the first to meet her, and he grabs her hand and brings it up to his lips to kiss. "My, my, so you must be the lovely Miss Jill we've heard so much about." "Easy there tiger " Henry says, walking up to greet them, "Jill, nice to see you again." He gives her a wave. "Oh, hello Henry. Hello Sammy." Jill greets them. "Henry, how's Linda doing?" She asks. "Oh, we're ok. I miss her, we've all been so busy that I haven't had the chance to see her in a week." Jill stops for a second, and laughs. "Oh, is my Joey overworking you guys again? I'll just have to ..talk to him. Linda must be worried sick." He tells her his thanks, and not to worry because he's been able to call her. Jill walks off, going go find where Joey went. On the way, she sees Susie in the break room and walks over to meet her. "Hey Susie, how's everything?" Susie Campbell looks and gives a small grin. "It's going good so far, I gotta good feeling about this role. Me and Alice seem to fit perfectly together." "Alice?" Jill asks. "Yeah, Alice is a new addition to the family. Her name is Alice Angel." Susie says. "Oh that's wonderful! Congratulations!" Jill says, giving her a hug. "Thanks Jill." "Do you know which way-" "Joey went? Yeah he went to his study. It's that way." Susie points in the direction of where he would be. "Thanks!" And she walked off to go find him.
Joey is sitting at his desk, looking over everything that has happened at the studio. Costs, ink, payment for the employees. He runs a hand through his hair, and hears knocking at the door. "Come on in." He says. Joey looks and sees Jill walking into the study. "Oh, Jill dear, what can I do for you? Here, please sit." He pulls out a chair for her. "Oh it's nothing, I just wanted to spend time with you." He grins and gives her a kiss "Oh I can think of a few things ~" he says. She blushes and laughs "You cheeky devil." She laughs. "What are you doing?" She asks him. "Oh you know, just looking over things. I'm making sure everything is going ok." She nods, and says "I'm sure it will all work out honey, you just have to be patient." He suddenly gets a huge grin on his face, "Oh but Jill, my dear, I have a wonderful plan! We will expand this company and won't have to worry about closing! " "Really?! What is it ? Please tell me." She asks excitedly. "It's a theme park. "We'll have different sections for all of the character, and different exhibits for the people to go through." "A theme park? That sounds...interesting. Are you sure it will work?" She asks. "All we have to do is try." He says, giving her a quick peck.
"There's nothing wrong with dreaming, Jill."
