It's Time to Believe

The Plan

Joey sits in his study, looking at the piles of paperwork and bills that are stacked up on his desk. Frustrated, he runs a hand through his hair. "Why isn't this working? It has got to work!" He looks over and over about the problems from employees, bills, everything. Suddenly, he gets an idea, "That's it!" smiling to himself he heads towards the workroom as fast as his wheelchair can take him.

You are talking to Henry about how things are going around the studio. "Honestly, not good Jill. The others and I have been talking about how much the studio is going downhill, and we are all worried about what will happen to the studio." He explains. Your shocked to hear this, you knew it was bad but not this bad. "Oh no, is there anything I can do?" You ask him. "Not that I know of, unless Joey has some plans for you." Speaking of Joey, you notice him quickly rolling into view. You run to him, "Is everything ok? You look a little frazzled there." You say as he looks at you with a smile. "Awe don't worry sweetheart, everything should be fine. Why don't you and Susie go to the break room while me and the boys talk." You were suspicious, but agree. Walking with Sally to the break room, you try not to overhear their conversation, but curiousity gets the better of you. "What do you think your doing?" You turn around to see Susie with her arms crossed, seeing your expression she smiles. "Without me?" You smile back at her, and you put your ears to the closed door. "Are you serious? How would we even get that to work?" You hear Henry say. "Trust me, it will. Now Henry you will now be fully in charge of all the animations needed to be done. Sammy we are goin' to need more music for this plan." He says. "But seriously boss, what do we have to accomplish with an Ink Machine?" You and Susie look at each other with the same thought, "An ink Machine?" Susie whispers. Shrugging your shoulders, you go back to listening. "What about the girls?" You hear Henry ask. "Well Susie will continue voicing, and Jill can help with designing." Susie lets out a frustrated noise, and you shush her. However, your happy that your able to help in any way you can. "I have already asked Wally to help with the design and mechanics and it will be constructed as soon as possible!" You hear Joey say. "I sure hope you know what your doing boss, for the good of this studio and all that work here." Henry says. "Don't worry Henry, it will work. I believe it will. Now will one of you go to the workroom and let the girls know we're done here?" You and Susie run as quietly and quickly as possible to the break room as you hear the door opening behind you.

You and Susie play it off as nothing happened, chatting about some non related issue. Sammy comes down the stairs, "Alright little sheep, off ya go. Joey's done with the "meeting" and asked me to come and get ya." Both nodding at him, You and Susie follow him up the stairs. "Ah there you are darling, sorry it took so long I just thought of a way to save the studio!" "What about the theme park idea?" You hear Susie ask. Shocked, you look at Joey. He gives you a sympathetic look. "Sorry Jill, but I couldn't keep it a secret they figured it out not long after I told you." You laugh and say "Don't worry it's fine." He smiles and continues. "To answer your question Susie, this plan of mine will work perfectly with the amusment park that I have came up with. Hopefully it will be completed by the end of the month, if not sooner god willing." You and Susie both look at each other, and back at Joey. "Ok. If there is anything we can help with, just let us know."Susie says. "When the time comes, there will be plenty of stuff for you both to help with. I will let you know, until then just keep doing what your doing." With that, he rolls away back to his study laughing to himself. Looking over at Henry and Sammy, they look concerned and don't even say anything to either you or Susie. You turn and look at where Joey had left, and you couldn't help but feel a knot of dread welling in your stomach.

What are you planning my charming devil?
