- Gene, The Emoji Movie
If only i have seen it all the way through Textopolis, i would have saw that rounded building which is a circle shaped stadium. But it was not any other stadium, it was a place where this leads to their cubes. The cubes are the way to make the emojis appear on the phone through the text message, so they can either impress someone with one unique emoji... Gene. Gene was one of the first emojis that can do multiple expressions instead of one, but before he became a hero, he was called as a "malfunction" by a smiling emoji, Smiler. His regular job was being a "meh" emoji, but when he messed up in a accident at the Textopolis building, he was in trouble, like a fugitive. But when he became a meh after a help from Jailbreak and Hi-5. He, Jailbreak, Hi-5, and everyone realized that Gene can be anything he want to impress the owner Alex's girlfriend. So, in a miracle, he saved everyone and everything inside the phone itself. He became the very first multi expression emoji in Alex's phone. Now, a couple of years after that, it is going to be a surprise for him. Here is Gene's story.
As Gene was still working at the Textopolis building, he was hailed as the new popular emoji as his portrait was shown at the hallway of the Textopolis meeting room. Gene was at his home, with his parents Mel Meh and Mary Meh still impressed with Gene for his heroic fame and approval of being the very first "multi expressive" emoji. Gene was resting in his room as the sun starts to set into the night at Textopolis, right after the very successful job he had worked into, his blood, sweat and tears that worked into his great and caring job. Out of nowhere, his face chat wristwatch was ringing and he realized it was Jailbreak, trying to call him. Apparently, he had received the wristwatch as a gift from Jailbreak after his first week working at Textopolis.
"Hi, Jailbreak. What are you doing today?"
"I am preparing you a surprise party at the Textopolis stadium."
"Wow, that is great. I also had a pretty good day of my job too as well."
"I know that, you were doing great at there. I am proud of you."
"Thank you, i will see you there when it is ready."
"Alright, i will also see you too. Bye."
Gene felt so happy in his whole life as he realized that there is a party at the stadium. Mel knocked the door and in a expected surprise, he opened the door in a his proudness expression.
"Gene, i have good news for you."
"Yes, i know that one. Jailbreak is preparing a surprise party at the Textopolis stadium."
"That is the good news i was going to tell you as well."
"Exactly, are you also going with Mary Mel as well? Because i was thinking that if she is coming with you too."
"You bet. I'll really be proud of you."
"Do you think that we should go to a special place before we are ready?"
"That is a good idea. But how?"
"Well, Jailbreak will notify me when it is ready."
"Thank goodness."
And this is how the adventure begins... for my surprise party. I hope i see Jailbreak (Also known as Princess Linda) and the others in the Textopolis stadium.
