Prologue
8 years have gone so far and the times of High School are over. Our favourite people from Hollywood Arts have grown up and are living their dreams.
Robbie Shapiro amuses with his weird humour and his ventriloquism talent the whole state of California with his good morning show "MuppetMadness", having Rex still by his side. He also would like to have Cat there, but after she turned down his proposal three years ago, they estranged.
Talking from her, the still red-headed and bubbly Caterina Valentine has started to establish herself in Hollywood. She has starred in three cheesy romantic-comedies and then made a horror movie, which earned her a Golden Globe Award. She then got offered to play the leading role in the High School dramedy "So this is life". Actually, Cat is engaged to her co-star and Hollywood sunnyboy Chad Riley.
André Harris followed his passion and started a music career. He released a very successful album. But soon, he had enough of the sparkling spotlight life and went behind the scenes. Now, he is a very popular songwriter in San Francisco. André only writes songs for bands and singers, who he thinks are really fond of their work. He has also a lot of fun with his countless affairs but is tough a caring and loving father.
Tori Vega got what she wanted: After graduating from college, she tried to get in touch with a lot of record labels. When she was about to lose all her hope, the "Millenium Record" saw her perform at a karaoke bar and contracted her. 2 years ago she had her great breakthrough and is now considered as the new Katy Perry.
Beck Oliver, who was always a fan of acting, went behind the scenes. After college, he started as the assistant director of Quentin Tarantino and John Carpenter. Later he managed to produce two very successful movies, a deeply moving drama and a clever, full of sarcasm comedy. For those, he won a lot of awards and was also nominated for Academy Awards as "Best director". His last movie was planned to be a dark psycho-thriller but it turned out as a bad splatter film. Beck got a lot of bad critics for that and is now looking for new inspiration. As well, he misses something. Or maybe someone?
Jade West was offered a record deal in her senior year at Hollywood Arts. First she was okay with it, but then the label bosses wanted to change her style and her personality. And that´s something, she couldn´t accept. So she moved to New York and was attending Juilliard School. While performing at a school intern musical, a talent scout discovered her and offered Jade to enable her career at the Broadway. Now she is the star of nearly every high quality production and is happy, that she can follow her dream of singing and acting without changing herself.
