Chp 22 : Fans?

Early morning mid-February, a family of three having their Sunday's breakfast of bread, eggs, and bacon.

Their daughter suddenly stop eating and ran to the living room, turning on the TV. Her mother screamed at her, "Sweetie, finish your breakfast first before watching TV!!"

"Just give me a minute mom! Al's new film trailer will be shown this morning, I will finish my breakfast, I promise." She begged her mother.

"Just let her Honey, the trailer is only a minute or two. She really crazy about this boy, Al." Her father said.

"But .... Hah, okay then." Her parents also got curious and watch the trailer with her.

The trailer starts with a mother and son riding a car and sees an accident happen in their way, then the boy said that there is a girl hurt, but when his mother asks where is she, he said she is standing next to his window and this made his mother shocked.

The trailer continues until one of the words that shock the entire audience and Alphonse's fans.

"I see dead people." He whispered.

The trailer continues again and shows that this is really a horror film and will be in theatre in early August.

A horror movie!? Al is playing a horror movie? Director Robert Zemeckis, who is that? But it's produced by Spielberg so they believe this film's quality must be good.

"Dad² please, can I watch it, I want to watch Al's film, he is my favorite movie star and I'm his number one fan! I won't miss every film and book Al has done!"

Her father unsure, "I don't know sweetie, this is a horror film, I'm afraid you'll have a nightmare."

"Please daddy, this is Al who wrote <Toy Story> that you like, and also look at the ratings! It's PG so it's okay for me to watch it." She faked tears.

Her parents just look at each other and finally agree, "Okay sweetie, we agree but this time you must finish your breakfast first and start to clean your room, then we have a deal."

"Thank you (5x) daddy mommy, I promise I will do every chore you assigned to me!" She became happy and quickly finish her breakfast.

This also occurred in every household that had kids. Al's name has been known to every parent and child in the whole world.

The last scandal of Jodie and Al also encounter backlash from every parent, children, and Parents and Child Association.

Luckily, this time is not Jodie Foster's misfortune. "Hollywood Stars" tabloid who was making notorious news received a severe backlash from them and forced to apologize to the public and banned to make reports of Al for at least until he turned 18.

Who told them to frame the idol of parents and children across the States. Now gossip tabloids and newspapers are cautious when they make reports about Al.

Well, Al also had his interference with this. He hired a few teams of lawyers from James Norman in secret to help the Parents and Children Association in this lawsuit.

Who told them to disturb his crus ... friend, Al's best friends. He always kind to his friends and strangers but if anyone disturbed him and his friend, he won't show any mercy.

------------

Al got invited to Golden Globe and Academy Awards this year.

Al and Drew got the honor to represent an opening speech that they will read at the Golden Globe Awards.

When they appear on stage, everyone clapped their hands.

"The voting procedures by Alphonse Brandt and Drew Barrymore," Al said.

Drew then take turns to read, "Once upon a time there is this a beautiful place called Hollywood foreyn..."

"Foreign Drew" He corrected, then the audience fell into laughter.

Drew retort, "I KNOW! The Hollywood Foreign Press where lived a group of voting counters called Arthur young&co."

Then Al spoke again, "They have this voting meter like A GAME MACHINE!?" He said surprisingly, the audience also confused at his outburst.

"Drew, did you took my report last night and change it?" This confused Drew, and she realized that he wants to deviate from their script, then she smiles.

Luckily drew was a quick thinker and said "No! maybe ET change it?" She said unsurely, another laughter heard.

"No, I know this is definitely your signature, look written by Drew Barrymore!"

"Upsie?" She said cutely

They began to banter and telling their funny and bad habits, the audience just laughed and was amused at their cute action.

Until drew drop the atomic bomb.

"And you said you want to marry big sis Jodie in the future!" That made audience cheered loudly and give them standing applause

He facepalms and said, "Drew, that's supposed to be our secret!! Um apologized ladies and gentlemen she just joking hehe."

He quickly changed the topic and directly read the last page of their reports and quickly say farewell and the audience broke into cheers again.

Both of them totally steal the show tonight, the Golden Globe Committee who in a panic because these two are not following the script was glad now.

the Golden Globe award went successfully and <E.T.> swept technical and best film drama awards.

He also attended the 55th Academy Awards and Drew come with her pink dress and fuzzy scarf that made her look cuter.

Academy awards also went well, <E.T.> swept through technical award again but lost the Best Film award to <Gandhi>.

He bet $100 that Americans in the 80s didn't even know who Gandhi was. Why they win most of the awards only academy judges know, or maybe he underestimates American knowledge of other countries in the 80s.

"Oh you are getting taller again Al," Mrs K said while measuring him "155 cm, wow I believe you can reach 180 cm when you are 17."

Al was having another birthday party. He was 13 this year and next year, he will enter public High School. This time, he doesn't invite many people and just having a small scale party.

His friends also can't come today so he celebrated it with orphanage tenants.

Today they also decided to celebrate it by watching new <Star Wars> films and said that this will be the ending of this trilogy.

He got a premiere invitation from George Lucas and of course, he went there. As usual, he met the four legendary directors and also meet with Robert.

He said the film is complete and there will be a trial screening for fans and film critics in early July. Of course, he needs to attend this, this is his second film and he was sure to be able to make another explosion.

But now he needs to accompany his siblings to watch these movies. They also wear the <Star Wars> costume when watching this.

Al wore Chewbacca mask, Toby as Han Solo, Jon as Luke and Laura, Melissa and Annie as Leia.

Alice also came but she doesn't wear any costume.

They go to some cinema in Beverly Hills because it's not too crowded like in the Hollywood area.

After they watched <Star Wars> both boys and girls are excitedly talking about that film.

Al excuse himself to the toilet, and when he finished his business, he bumped into someone who also wears a Princess Leia costume and accidentally fell, grabbing Al's Chewbacca mask.

Al quickly helps the girl who at least 10 years old to stand and apologize to her.

The girl also realized that she was wrong, then she also apologized to whoever she bump with.

"I'm sorry for bumping into you. Is this your mask (gasp) Al? Are you Alphonse Brandt? I'm your biggest fans, my name is Leslie."

"Oh! Nice to meet you there Leslie, thanks for your support." He smiled, "I've never encountered a fan in public like this, well mostly because I'm going incognito."

Leslie first stunned that her idol is talking to her but also made confused by him, "Inco what? Oh, that's rude of me! I am sorry it's just ah mm..." She speaks hastily and stuttered.

Al becomes more amuse and explained to her, "Incognito, means undetected or unknown in Latin. Just relax when speaking to me, I think I'm the same age as you."

Leslie took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Alphonse, it's my first time seeing a celebrity up close haha." She laughed nervously, "Wow Latin words, you are really smart, that's why you can write a lot of good stories like <Toy Story>." Then she smiled sweetly.

"Call me Al, but keep it a secret. The last time I went public like this, I was chased by many paparazzi. "He whispered to her.

She felt his face close to her and a warm breath through her ears, her face reddened and her brain become short-circuit.

Fortunately, she was saved by a call from her parents. "Leslie, come on, let's go home!" his father said.

She stared at Al again and mustered her courage, "Al, can you sign this for me? I'm sorry I didn't bring any paper or notes with me." She showed her napkins and her eyes keep staring to the ground.

Al smiled and take out his own pen, "With my pleasure, so what is your full name?"

"Mann, Leslie Mann, that's my name." She said happily.

"To my first fan, I ever met, Leslie Mann. May you always healthy and brings out happiness to everyone around you, Alphonse "Al" Brandt. Here you are."

She stared at her napkins with her mouth wide open. She thinks that today is the best day of her life and won't ever forget this moment.

But a call from her parents awoke her, she said goodbye to Al reluctantly and kiss his cheek.

Al never rejected a kiss, well never reject from a beautiful girl anyway, who doesn't? Call him a simp but at least he gets a kiss.

Al went back with his siblings after that they eat some big nice delicious and tasty Cheese Burgers in an American restaurant, today is an exception to eat fast food.
