The next morning Elias woke up & got dressed. As he did he thought about what he & Lindsay had planned for the day.
"Today me & Lindsay will be voice acting for The Adventures Of Jordan Travis. I wouldn't be surprised if it took 100 attempts to get it all done just like how it did yesterday. Hopefully it won't come to that. As long as Lindsay doesn't nit-pick at everything we should be fine" thought Elias as he finished getting dressed. Although it was incredibly frustrating having to deal with Lindsay's diva behaviour Elias did his best to keep calm. There were many times he wanted to go off on Lindsay for her bratty outbursts, but he knew that doing so would only make things worse. Soon Angel, Kelly & Terry also woke up. Kelly got dressed as Angel & Terry stretched out ready to begin another day.
"Good morning guys. Did you sleep well?" asked Elias as he smiled warmly at Angel, Kelly & Terry.
"Yes. Did you sleep well?" asked Angel as she returned the smile while wagging her tail.
"I sure did. I'm ready for what lies in store for us today" said Elias in a confident voice.
"I'm glad to hear that. I can't imagine how difficult it must be dealing with Little Miss Princess. I wish I had the patience you have" said Kelly as she sighed in disappointment.
"Don't worry about it. It's not going to be much longer before Lindsay returns home. I think we'll be OK" said Elias with hope in his voice.
"Anyways let's eat. I'm starving" said Terry as he put his paw to his stomach. Everyone proceeded to enter the kitchen to make breakfast. Elias & Kelly filled Angel & Terry's food & water bowls before going to make their breakfast. They made some pastries including chocolate croissants, apple strudel, sugar powdered donuts & hedgehog slice amongst other things. The aroma of all the food was sweet & filled the kitchen which made Elias & Kelly feel at ease. After they finished making all the pastries they set the table before tucking in. All the pastries had varying tastes & textures. The chocolate croissants were fluffy in texture & had a sweet taste, the apple strudel's taste & texture was like the croissants, the sugar powdered donuts had a firm, fluffy texture & tasted sweet & the hedgehog slice was firm & solid in texture & had a beautifully sweet taste to them. Elias & Kelly happily ate 1 of each. It was like a party was being thrown in their mouths because of the burst of flavours the pastries had. Soon Lindsay woke up & entered the kitchen.
"What's for breakfast?" asked Lindsay in a flat voice.
"We made assorted pastries. Try them. You'll fall in love at 1ST bite" said Elias with a smile.
"OK whatever you say" said Lindsay as she sat at the table & served herself 1 of everything. As soon as she tried each pastry she felt a wave of satisfaction. All the pastries tasted fantastic & were all exquisite in appearance. Lindsay happily gobbled down each of the pastries. She was intensely satisfied with how well they were made.
"Those were nice. I don't know how you do it, but you have amazing culinary talent" said Lindsay in an impressed voice.
"I'm glad you liked them. Do you want more?" asked Elias in a polite tone.
"No thanks. I don't want to gorge myself & get fat. That'd tarnish my image" said Lindsay.
Kelly rolled her eyes. She wasn't surprised that Lindsay would say that. It proved how narcissistic & vain she really was.
"I'm so fed up with that narcissistic little brat going around acting like she's a higher power that needs to be worshipped. If her fans knew that this was how she acted in general they'd eventually ditch her for someone else. Sooner or later I'm going to let her know exactly how I feel about her" thought Kelly as Elias & herself put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Soon Ella, Ethan, Harry & Susie woke up & entered the kitchen.
"Good morning everyone. Did you all sleep well?" asked Ella as she smiled warmly at everyone.
"We sure did. Are you all refreshed & ready for another big day?" asked Elias as he returned the smile.
"We sure are. What's for breakfast?" asked Ethan.
"Assorted pastries. I bet you'll love them" said Kelly in an excited voice.
"What kind of pastries are there?" asked Harry with curiosity.
"Chocolate croissants, apple strudel, sugar powdered donuts, hedgehog slice & more. Help yourselves" said Lindsay.
"We'd be glad to" said Susie as the adults proceeded to serve themselves breakfast. Just like the kids they also enjoyed the exquisite flavours the pastries had to offer. Once they finished eating the dirty dishware was put in the dishwasher. Elias & Lindsay then prepared to head to the TV studio for their collaboration on an upcoming episode of The Adventures Of Jordan Travis.
"We're off. See you guys later" said Elias as he smiled & waved at everyone.
"Bye Elias. I hope everything goes well" said Kelly as she & the others also smiled & waved. Elias & Lindsay went out to the front where they hopped in the limo & buckled up before heading off.
"This is exciting. I can't wait to get to the studio to begin recording our lines" said Elias with an excited smile.
"I just hope I don't mess up. I'm not going to let myself allow a poorly done voice-over job to be broadcast" said Lindsay in a firm tone.
"You'll be fine. Voice acting is a lot easier than acting in a live action movie since it's all about the voice & the emotions you convey into it" said Elias.
"True. I still only allow my best work to be released to the public" said Lindsay.
Elias rolled his eyes. By now he was used to Lindsay's elitist attitude, but it didn't make it any easier to work with Lindsay.
"Unsurprisingly Lindsay makes it clear that we'll be doing redoes if she's not happy with minor issues. I just hope it doesn't take 100 tries like it did yesterday. That'd be ridiculous. I suppose only time will tell how long it takes for us to get this done" thought Elias.
Soon Elias & Lindsay arrived at the studio. Corey was there waiting for them.
"Hey guys. Ready to begin work on the next episode?" asked Corey in an enthusiastic manner.
"Yes. I'm always ready" said Elias as he smiled excitedly.
"Let's just get this over with. I don't want to spend all day here repeating the same things over & over again" said Lindsay in a blunt manner. Elias rolled his eyes as Corey; himself & Lindsay went inside the studio to get the voice acting done. After arriving at the recording booth Elias & Lindsay stood in front of the microphones & the stands that held sheets of paper containing the lines that needed to be said. Corey was in the adjacent room ready to instruct Elias & Lindsay on their voice acting.
"OK guys the plot of this episode revolves around Jordan finding a young girl who's been separated from her family & he helps her look for them. You may begin" said Corey.
Elias & Lindsay read the 1ST part of the transcript to determine how to say their lines. It began with Jordan making note of the weather & how lovely it was before hearing the cries of a young girl which he proceeded to investigate.
"What a beautiful day it is today. The sun is out, the temperature is warm & everything looks beautiful & summery. I'd say today is the perfect day to play" said Elias in an excited voice. Lindsay then started making crying sounds to indicate that her character was in distress.
"Sounds like somebody's in trouble. I better see who it is" said Elias.
After reading through the part where Jordan searched for the person who was distressed Elias then continued with the next line.
"Are you OK?" asked Elias with concern in his voice.
"No. I got separated from my family & I don't know where they went. I'm completely lost" said Lindsay in a shaky voice.
"I can help you find them. What's your name?" asked Elias.
"Nadine Cackleberry" said Lindsay.
"I'm Jordan Travis. Let's see if we can find your family" said Elias in a hopeful tone.
"OK" said Lindsay.
After reading through the part where Jordan & Nadine began looking around the next bit of dialogue began.
"When was the last time you saw your family?" asked Elias.
"I was in town walking around with them & we had to cross the street. There was a large crowd of people that crossed the road along with us & I got separated from my family in the crowd. I called out for them & went around trying to find them, but I had no luck. I have no idea where they could be right now. I hope we find them soon" said Lindsay in a slightly scared voice.
"We will. Soon you'll be reunited with them" said Elias with reassurance in his voice.
"Thanks for helping me look for them. You're a really nice boy" said Lindsay.
"You're welcome" said Elias.
The next part of the transcript described Jordan & Nadine walking through town. They were looking for Nadine's family based on the description Nadine gave.
"What does your family look like?" asked Elias.
"My mother has blonde hair, blue eyes, white skin & wears a white dress with pink stiletto shoes, my father has brown hair, green eyes, white skin & wears a grey shirt, jeans & black sneaker shoes & my brother has black hair, brown eyes, white skin & wears a red shirt, blue shorts & orange sneaker shoes" said Lindsay.
"What are their names?" asked Elias in a curious voice.
"My mother's name is Florence; my father's name is Rex & my brother's name is Donovan" said Lindsay.
"Were you all heading to a specific location when you got separated from them?" asked Elias.
"We were heading to the nicest restaurant in town. I believe it's called Tastebud Heaven" said Lindsay.
"They might be there now. Let's go" said Elias in a hopeful tone. The transcript described Jordan & Nadine walking to Tastebud Heaven to find Nadine's family. Once they arrived they started asking if anyone had seen them. The next line was the waiter asking what he could do for them.
"We're looking for this girl's family. Have you seen them?" asked Elias.
The waiter responded by asking what Nadine's family looked like to which Nadine described their appearances. The waiter told Jordan & Nadine that Nadine's family had been at the restaurant earlier but left when they realised Nadine was missing.
"Do you know where they went?" asked Lindsay in a curious voice.
The waiter responded saying that Nadine's family were likely heading to the police station as they'd be the most helpful in finding Nadine.
"OK thanks. Bye" said Elias.
The transcript described Jordan & Nadine walking to the police station hoping to find Nadine's family there.
"I think it's likely the police will help us find your family in no time. They're good at their job" said Elias in a reassuring tone.
"That's fantastic. If all goes well, I'll be back together with my family in no time" said Lindsay in an excited voice. The transcript described Jordan & Nadine walking to the police station & going inside. The officer at the front desk asked what they could do for them.
"I got separated from my family earlier & I don't know where they are. We checked the restaurant they went to, but they left before we got there. Can you help us?" asked Lindsay in a desperate voice.
The officer at the front desk proceeded to ask if Jordan & Nadine were related.
"No. I only just met her earlier today. I'm Jordan Travis" said Elias.
"I'm Nadine Cackleberry" said Lindsay.
The officer at the front desk told Jordan & Nadine that they'd be right back & suggested that they take a seat while waiting. Jordan & Nadine sat down & waited for someone to meet with them.
"With the help of the police we'll find your family in no time" said Elias in an optimistic manner.
"I hope so. I'm not sure where they could be right now" said Lindsay with uncertainty in her voice.
"Did they plan on visiting any other specific locations?" asked Elias.
"Not that I know of. Trying to find them will be like trying to find a needle in a haystack" said Lindsay as she sighed in sadness.
"I think it's more than likely they're looking for you as well. I doubt they haven't noticed you missing. They're more than likely searching all through town for you" said Elias in a reassuring voice.
"Maybe. I suppose we'll find out soon" said Lindsay.
The transcript then described a police officer coming out & walking over to Jordan & Nadine. He introduced himself & asked what they needed help with.
"I got separated from my family & I don't know where they are. We checked the restaurant they said they'd be at, but they'd already left when we got there. I'm not sure where else they'd be" said Lindsay.
"I'm Jordan Travis & this is Nadine Cackleberry. I've been trying to help her find her family" said Elias.
The police officer told Jordan & Nadine that he'd take them around town & help them look for Nadine's family. The 3 of them got in a car & proceeded to drive around town. Jordan & Nadine looked around everywhere they went to see if they could find the Cackleberry family.
"So far I can't see any sign of them. Have you had any luck Nadine?" asked Elias.
"Not yet. They have to be around here somewhere" said Lindsay in a slightly frustrated voice. They continued driving around town looking everywhere they could but unfortunately, they didn't see Nadine's family anywhere.
"I can't see them. We've checked everywhere & there's no sign of them. What do we do now?" asked Lindsay in a scared voice.
The police officer said that they'd return to the police station & try to contact Nadine's family in the hopes that they'd get through to them.
"I really hope this works. I don't want to go any longer without my family" said Lindsay as she sighed in sadness.
"I bet trying to contact them will make it easier for us to find them & vice versa. You'll be back together with them in no time" said Elias in a hopeful voice. Jordan, Nadine & the police officer proceeded to return to the police station. While Jordan & Nadine sat & waited the police officer went to contact Nadine's family. He typed Nadine's name into his computer & brought up her personal info to determine her family's contact details. Once he did so he proceeded to phone Mr & Mrs Cackleberry to let them know where Nadine was. As this happened Jordan & Nadine sat in the lobby & waited. Nadine was feeling scared since she had no idea where her family was & how long it'd be until she saw them again.
"I don't know what I'm going to do if the police can't get in contact with my family. It feels like I'm never going to see them again" said Lindsay in a shaky voice.
"Don't think like that. Everything will be fine. You'll be reunited with your family soon" said Elias in a reassuring voice.
"Where do you think they could be?" asked Lindsay in an uncertain tone.
"I don't know. Perhaps they might come here & find you. 1 way or another we'll get you & your family back together" said Elias.
The police officer soon returned & informed Jordan & Nadine that Nadine's family were on their way. Jordan & Nadine both became excited upon hearing this news.
"Yay I'm going to see my family again" said Lindsay in an excited voice.
"Looks like everything worked out perfectly" said Elias in a satisfied tone. Soon Nadine's family arrived. Nadine went over to them & gave them a hug.
"It's good to see you all again. Where did you go?" asked Nadine.
Nadine's family explained that after getting separated from her & going to the restaurant they ate at they began looking all through town for her. They asked everyone they could if they'd seen Nadine, but nobody had. It wasn't until they were contacted by the police that they learned where she was.
"I'm just glad we're back together again" said Lindsay.
"Nice to meet you all. I'm Jordan Travis. I helped Nadine in trying to find you" said Elias.
Jordan shook Mr & Mrs Cackleberry's hands as they thanked him for helping Nadine.
"You're welcome. I'm glad I helped get you all back together" said Elias.
Mr & Mrs Cackleberry suggested that they all go to get ice cream together. Jordan & Nadine excitedly agreed.
"I love ice cream. It's 1 of my favourite foods" said Elias in an excited voice.
"Same for me. Let's go" said Lindsay.
Jordan, Nadine & the Cackleberry family proceeded to leave the police station & go to the ice cream shop. That was where the episode ended.
"That was great. We both did a fantastic job" said Elias as he smiled in satisfaction.
"I want to check how we did. We're doing it again if it's not good enough" said Lindsay in a blunt tone. Elias rolled his eyes in frustration. He had a feeling it was going to be a long day with Lindsay's perfectionism ruining the mood.
"I'm not going to be surprised if it takes 100 attempts to get this all done. I wish Lindsay wasn't so nit-picky. I think we did a fantastic job. Why can't she just be happy with what she's accomplished? It's just ridiculous" thought Elias as he sighed in annoyance. He & Lindsay then listened to the recordings. Lindsay was unsurprisingly unsatisfied with how it turned out.
"We're doing it again. My voice doesn't sound right" said Lindsay in a blunt tone.
"I think it was good. Are you really sure you want to do it again?" asked Elias.
"Yes. It needs to be perfect" said Lindsay.
Elias was annoyed that Lindsay was once again being difficult. Nonetheless he decided to go along with it not wanting Lindsay to throw a tantrum. Unsurprisingly it took 100 attempts to get it done before Lindsay was finally satisfied. After finishing Elias & Lindsay left the studio & headed back to the mansion.
"That was exhausting. I've never been more worn down by 1 episode of any of my shows" said Elias as he sighed.
"At least we managed to get the perfect recording. I bet the episode will look fantastic" said Lindsay in an excited voice.
"It will. Now that we've finished recording our lines we have the rest of the day off" said Elias.
"Excellent. That means I'm free to do what I want" said Lindsay.
After Elias & Lindsay arrived back at the mansion they went straight inside. Ella, Ethan, Harry & Susie were all at work. Kelly & Terry were in the lounge watching TV.
"We're back" said Elias.
"I bet it took 100 attempts to get it done didn't it?" asked Kelly.
"Yes. It's not easy getting our voices right. I bet you'd have just as much trouble doing your lines" said Lindsay in a blunt tone.
"At least I'm not a drama queen who acts like she's so much better than everyone else" said Kelly as she glared at Lindsay. Lindsay sneered & rolled her eyes. She couldn't have cared less about what Kelly thought of her.
"Whatever. I'm out of here. Come get me when lunch is ready" said Lindsay as she headed to her room.
"That girl is so unbearable. With every passing moment I have a stronger desire to bust her ass" said Kelly as she growled in anger.
"Don't worry about her. Why waste time thinking about her antics when you could be thinking about how special you are?" asked Elias as he smiled at Kelly while staring deep into her eyes.
"Are you trying to seduce me?" asked Kelly as she smiled & raised an eyebrow.
"Maybe. You know you're the love of my life. You always have been & you always will be" said Elias as he wrapped his arms around Kelly & held her close while continuing to stare deep into her eyes & smile.
"Let's just get to the good part" said Kelly as she pressed her lips against Elias'. Elias happily returned the kiss as he & Kelly cuddled each other. The kiss felt as magical as ever & nothing could compare to the love Elias & Kelly felt as they continued to lock lips. A few minutes later they broke apart. They continued to smile & stare into each other's eyes.
"I love you Kelly" said Elias.
"I love you too Elias" said Kelly.
"Can we make lunch now? I'm starving" said Angel as she held her paw to her stomach.
"Me too. I could eat an elephant" said Terry as he licked his lips.
"Time to make the best lunch yet" said Elias as Angel, Himself, Kelly & Terry went into the kitchen to make lunch. They decided to make some honey chicken with fried rice. The aroma of the food was heavenly & made everyone euphoric as they anticipated how it'd taste. Once the food was ready Elias & Kelly set the table before serving Angel & Terry. As Angel & Terry started to tuck in Elias went to get Lindsay. Once he arrived at her room he knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" asked Lindsay.
"It's just me. Lunch is ready. We're having honey chicken with fried rice" said Elias.
"Sounds nice. I hope it's good" said Lindsay.
"I'm sure it is" said Elias.
Lindsay soon emerged from her room. Elias & herself returned to the dining room to eat. After sitting down Elias, Kelly & Lindsay served themselves & tucked in. The honey chicken had a chewy & firm texture & had the perfect mix of savoury & sweet taste thanks to the honey coating & the fried rice had a nice texture & tasted savoury. Elias, Kelly & Lindsay happily ate their food before putting the dirty dishes in the dishwasher.
"That was delicious. I'm definitely having that again" said Lindsay in a satisfied voice.
"I'm glad you liked it" said Elias as he smiled.
"Now that we've finished lunch I'm heading back to my room. Let me know if you need me for anything" said Lindsay as she headed back to her room.
"So, what do you want to do now?" asked Kelly.
"Let's watch TV. I bet there's lots of good shows on" said Elias.
"Sounds good" said Kelly.
Angel, Elias, Kelly & Terry went into the lounge to watch TV. They flicked through the channels to see what was on. Soon they came across an episode of Apollo The Super Pup.
"Another great episode of a classic show" said Angel as she smiled enthusiastically.
"I bet Rubble's in front of the Lookout TV watching this in his Apollo costume" said Elias as he chuckled.
"Probably. He actually looks almost identical to Apollo when dressed up" said Kelly.
"If Rubble ever got the chance to be part of the show he'd take the chance in a heartbeat" said Terry.
Angel, Elias, Kelly & Terry snuggled up together on the couch as they watched Apollo The Super Pup. The episode revolved around Apollo rescuing more kittens from the Spider King's clutches. As usual Apollo defeated Spider King & saved the kittens. He once again saved the day his own way. After the episode ended Angel, Elias, Kelly & Terry continued watching TV & flicked through the channels to see what else was on. After a few hours of watching TV they decided to go to the Lookout to hang out with Ryder & the pups. It was mid-afternoon & school had only just let out for the day. Angel, Elias, Kelly & Terry hopped in the limo & were taken to the Lookout.
"How do you think Ryder's day at school went?" asked Angel in a curious voice.
"I don't know. We'll find out soon" said Elias.
"Hopefully he hasn't had to deal with anyone as difficult as Lindsay" said Kelly.
"I doubt it. There's nobody at school I can think of that acts like her" said Terry.
Soon Angel, Elias, Kelly & Terry arrived at the Lookout. Ryder had just arrived home from school & the pups were in an excited mood wanting to know how everyone's day had been.
"Hi Ryder. How was school?" asked Angel as she smiled warmly.
"It was good. Nothing major really happened. How was your day?" asked Ryder as he returned the smile.
"It was hectic. Me & Lindsay spent half the day at the studio recording the next episode of The Adventures Of Jordan Travis. It took 100 attempts to get it done to her satisfaction just like yesterday" said Elias.
"That's ridiculous. I'd go crazy if that was me working with Lindsay" said Chase as he sneered in disgust.
"Me too. I want nothing more than to slap her in the face" said Kelly.
"Hopefully tomorrow she'll act a lot less nit-picky" said Marshall.
"I don't know about that. It's more than likely that whatever happens tomorrow she'll still act like a diva" said Terry.
"Probably. Anyways what shall we do to spend the afternoon?" asked Rocky in a curious voice.
"Let's go to Adventure Beach. I'd say the weather is perfect for it" said Rubble as he smiled excitedly.
"Good idea. It'll be nice to relax by the ocean" said Skye as she flipped happily.
"Let's go. I can hear the water calling my name" said Zuma as he wagged his tail in excitement. Everyone proceeded to head down to Adventure Beach together. Once they arrived they went to get some ice cream. After getting their cups & cones they sat on the warm sand & ate. The ice cream had a sweet flavour & was nice & creamy in texture which made it a delight to eat. After everyone finished eating they threw their rubbish in the bin before going to play with a Frisbee. Everyone laughed & smiled as they threw the Frisbee back & forth along the beach. It was an afternoon they fully enjoyed. After a while they headed back to the Lookout. Angel, Elias, Kelly & Terry soon headed home for the evening. Ella, Ethan, Harry & Susie had gotten home from work & were in the kitchen when Angel, Elias, Kelly & Terry arrived home.
"Hey guys. How was your day?" asked Ella as she smiled warmly at Angel, Elias, Kelly & Terry.
"It was OK. How was your day?" asked Angel as she returned the smile.
"Same as usual" said Ethan.
"When me & Lindsay recorded our lines for the upcoming episode of The Adventures Of Jordan Travis it took 100 attempts just like yesterday. Lindsay yet again picked apart every little flaw she found" said Elias.
"I think that's ridiculous. It shouldn't take that long to get something relatively straightforward done" said Harry in a surprised voice.
"Well it did. I want to slap Lindsay in her stupid little face. She's so annoying" said Kelly as she sighed in frustration.
"Anyways dinner will be ready soon. Can you let Lindsay know please?" asked Susie.
"I'm on it" said Elias as he went to Lindsay's room. He knocked on the door once he arrived.
"What is it?" asked Lindsay.
"Dinner's almost ready. I'm not sure what we're having though" said Elias.
"OK thanks" said Lindsay.
Elias returned to the kitchen where he & Kelly proceeded to set the table. After they set all the cutlery & dishware down they sat in their spots & waited for dinner to be served. Soon Ella, Ethan, Harry & Susie brought the food to the table. The meal they were having for dinner was lamb casserole. Once everyone served up their dinner they tucked in. The lamb had a good texture & had a salty taste that went well with the savoury flavour of the stock & vegetables in the rest of the casserole. Everyone happily devoured their meal & put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher before going off to do their own thing. Elias was feeling exhausted from the day's activities, so he decided to go to bed early again. After having a shower, he got into his pyjamas & turned off the light before getting in bed. As he lay in bed he thought about how hectic the last 2 days had been.
"I'm exhausted. The last 2 days have been a lot of hard work no thanks to Lindsay. If she didn't nit-pick at all the flaws she spotted we'd have gotten everything done a lot quicker. Hopefully tomorrow & Friday won't be as exhausting to get through" thought Elias as he drifted off to sleep.
