142 travels to Hollywood.

February 27.

Billy was enthusiastically coordinating the deliveries of the comics, and the key and distribution were entrusted to Anne, one of the strictest individuals he knew. He had a bit of stress in his eyes, given that the role in Stargate had some significant elements, as it was one of his first leading roles in a movie, and Jim had notified him about a second opportunity to play the antagonist in the film. However, he needed to get a tan.

A total savings of 450 points, which was increasing weekly by 50 or 60 points. The next series included Star Wars, which cost a total of 500 points, and the Fate series, which cost a total of 450 points. Moreover, the expenses of purchase could escalate; for instance, Pokémon, for which he had only purchased the first seasons, required two more purchases of 500 points each, summing up to a total of 800 points spent.

After the exponential increase in his skills and the attainment of a different kind of instinct for acting, drawing, and literature, it was something challenging to achieve. With the structured study and academic improvements he had been making throughout his long childhood and adolescence, the system had given him enough instinct to integrate these values into one, making him feel revitalized. Even Raimon, who used to visit him to observe his practices, praised his performance.

-Well, good luck in Los Angeles. Try to behave well and, whenever possible, do some relaxation activities. I've arranged for a personal assistant to help you get everything you need when you arrive. He's a Los Angeles native. You can ask him for advice on buying items for publishing your book, - said Thomas Carson, facing Billy in the final waiting area, with about twenty minutes until boarding. The weeks leading up to the comic book deliveries had been hectic, with cost-cutting measures, meetings with suppliers, and construction.

-Thank you, Dad. Don't forget to sort the comics for delivery. If all goes well, we won't see each other for a long time. If everything goes smoothly, the filming will start immediately. So, I'll be busy until June or July. I'll try out some other roles. Remember to send me the materials; I have a book to publish and some important comic designs to finish, - said Billy, approaching his father.

-I know, son. You've been saying that for twenty minutes, and I'm completely exhausted. You need to relax. Look, here comes your little girlfriend, - said Thomas Carson.

Alice looked beautiful. Her appearance had changed as she progressed through her semesters studying medicine, and to Billy's surprise, she had supported his official entry into the world of acting.

-You two keep talking about work, and you should be happier - said Alice, reproaching the Carson gentlemen playfully. She moved closer to Billy to ruffle his hair gently, taking care with each stroke. His curls were wild, and they had grown over time; he hadn't cut his hair for a while. She leaned against the bench, leaning forward, positioning herself almost in between the two Carsons.

-So, when are you coming back, dear? - asked Alice.

-If I'm lucky, it will take me two or three months, - said Billy, with exhaustion, as it was the third time he'd answered, but she was very anxious. The impressive part was the sadness in Alice every time he mentioned that he might take two to three months to return for a weekend.

-Don't worry, I'll come back a few days to see you," said Billy, adjusting his slender hands.

Thomas understood that he was not part of this intimate moment and went in search of giving his son and little Alicia Davis some space.

-I'm sad, not thrilled about you leaving. I hope you'll call me every day. And forget about looking at the girls in Los Angeles; they're malicious and just want your money, especially the actresses. Oh, they're all sweet talk, mister, - said Alice, using her soft voice, which she usually used when she wanted something.

-Don't worry, dear, - said Billy, leaning in for a little kiss, which Alice received with pleasure. Billy got closer and, just a bit more, gently took her cheek; her skin was so smooth, her sweet little cheeks always tempted him to squeeze them.

-You'll call me. -

-Every day, but we'll have a schedule. Check your phone as much as you can. It will be in the evenings if I have time, so you can tell me about your day. I want to know if Mr. Riffte is still as friendly as ever. If your sister doesn't lend you the car, you can use my truck,   just no eating in my baby, - said Billy.

Alice chuckled, "I promise nothing." They drew closer and enjoyed each other's proximity. She was wearing the perfume he had given her for Christmas, which she had never stopped using since he started giving it to her two years ago.

-Well, you know the troubles of eating in my car, Miss   Alice, - said Billy, hugging her tightly. Alice was so refreshing.

-You know I might show up at your apartment unannounced one of these days, - said Alice.

-Well, dear, I'll ask my dad to give you the keys, but you'll have to get a duplicate made and return them, - said Billy. He felt her curly hair tickling his cheek as she lowered herself and rested her little head on his chest. The position was almost sitting on Billy's lap, but Alice got even closer.

-Oh, I will, and I'll cook you something nice. I learned how to make goulash, and well, some soups you like, - said Alice,   happily, in a complete rhythm of love from the moment she had fallen head over heels for Billy Carson.

-Well, you're quite sweet. But, miss, I'll be content with a quiet meal, - said Billy.

-Mooohhh. -

-Billy, I brought some food for you to eat before your flight. Here, take this, - said Thomas, handing him some fruit, tuna, and water.

-Thanks, Dad, - said Billy.

-For the miss, I bought a fruit set, sugar-free, and a gluten-free muffin. Billy told me about your particular taste for organic food, - said Thomas.

-Thank you, Mr. Carson, - said Alice, returning to her place next to Billy.

Once Billy arrived in Los Angeles, he would take a long route to get to an apartment in a well-located area, just ten minutes away from some recording studios, one of which was where the auditions would take place, while the others took about half an hour to reach. In this apartment, he would have all the amenities he needed.

-I think it's time for you to go, - said Thomas, hugging his son. Thomas had a feeling that his son was about to embark on a career as an actor, and there wouldn't be much time together from now on.

-It's a see you soon, Dad. Everything will go perfectly. I have many things to do here in San Jose, and I hope everything can be accomplished within my scheduled timelines, - said Billy, smiling.

His gaze focused on Alice, who was once again devastated. - - We'll see each other soon, dear. You don't have to worry, -- said Billy, feeling Alice's tight embrace. The farewell lasted as long as they had at the airport.

The next steps involved being an integral part of the Stargate team. Jim had secured a complete script, which seemed more like a book than a script due to the many technical details describing landscapes, character thoughts, and strange behaviors. He devoted himself to studying everything about Daniel Jackson, an archaeologist with zero social skills, unusual thoughts, and peculiar behaviors.

According to Jim Waitt, Ronald Emmerich's behavior was described as someone strong-willed who valued this script as his life. He preferred to hire actors who would follow his every demand rather than big-name actors. He was a director with straightforward thoughts on how to make movies.

The boarding plane was here, and as it was a state trip, the aircraft was small, old, and not very stable. The turbulence on these planes only made people nauseous. It was painted in a deep red and glossy white. Billy boarded the plane with superficial thoughts about the days ahead and had 450 points, which would be enough to buy some extra series.
