Transcript/JOURNEY (1979) ~Evolution Days~

*(A flashback shows Julia in 1966 at Jefferson Gray Warrior School preparing to jump over a giant rock.)*

*Soft piano music plays*

**Monet Sanofi**: Ok, Julia. Body balanced & ready, eyes focused, hands tightening, feet & legs ready. Whenever you're ready, please do jump over the rock.

**Julia Perez (Past)**: \*Breathing\* (Come on dear, you've got this. I've been training so hard for this big challenge.)

**Jonas Parovi (Past)**: C'mon Julia! You can do this. We've got your back!

**Julia (Past)**: (Oh well, at least they've been all rooting for me... I hope I could make it this time.)

**Monet**: It's ok Julia. You're welcome to take your time.

**Julia (Past)**: (Oh well... I guess they're all rooting for me. I bet it's time, to get over my fears.)

*(Julia runs as fast as she can then jumps over the rock. The scene cuts to 1979 as Julia lands on her feet at Nightmare Productions Inc. She rushes to the manager's office where Ellyn is.)*

*Music rises to violin*

**Julia Perez**: Ellyn-senpai! What is it?

**Ellyn S. Valory**: \*Quietly gasping as she looks into her phone\*

**Julia**: \*Breathing\*

*(Ross Valory & Neal Schon enter the scene)*

**Ross Valory**: \*Heavily breathing\* Ellyn, my dear! What's wrong?

**Neal Schon**: \*Breathing\* Is it some good news or bad news?

**Ellyn**: Umm, guys...

*(Steve Perry & Gregg Rolie make their way behind Ross & Neal)*

**Steve Perry, Gregg Rolie**: \*Breathing\*

**???**: Hmm? \*Walks down the hallways to the office\*

**Julia**: Yes?

**Ellyn**: You must see this! We have been chosen to hold a setlist concert at... NYC. You know what this means?

**Julia, Gregg, Steve P., Ross, Neal**: We're performing at New York City!?

**Ellyn**: Yes. I-It's true...

*(The office is filled with silence)*

**Herbie Herbert**: Oh! I knew you would all see it.

**Julia, Ross**: Eh?

**Gregg**: Herbie?

**Herbie**: Of course. It's my job to what you guys are doing, especially in concerts like the previous ones.

**Neal**: Oh yeah, right.

**Herbie**: The notification you guys saw... We are holding the concert on May 27!

*(Everyone cheers)*

**???**: Hmm, what's goin' on?

**Herbie**: Oh right, I almost forgot! Everyone, your attention please. I would like to introduce you to your new drummer from Massachusetts. His name is Steve Bruce Smith. He will be replacing Aynsley from now on. We'll have to give him time to recover from his arm injury.

**Steve S.**: Hello. What's up, yo? I'm Steve Smith, but you call me Smith or Smitty. Either is ok. In case if anyone of you don't know this, Aynsley & I have been friends since high school.

**Everyone**: Eh?

**Herbie**: Really!?

**Steve S.**: Yes. Also, I see my cousin which is Neal Schon, & my biological cousin which is the legendary warrior Juliā Perēz.

**Steve P.**: S-S-Say... W-What?

**Julia**: Well, it's good to have you here Smith. Welcome to the band.

**Steve S.**: Oh, why thanks.

**???**: Well, you might as well wanna hear them jamming first.

**Herbie**: Oh, Lyte! Vinyl! You came!

**Lyte Perez**: Hi. I heard from the hallways that you guys will be performing at New York. That would be wonderful!

**Vinyl Perez**: On top of that, you would probably see the Statue Of Liberty. \*Shows a photo of the Statue of Liberty\* It's the tallest statue that it's standing right next to the huge skyscrapers. I wanna it again.

**Ross**: Oh well, you don't have to worry. At least we're going there again, along the crew, & of course... Our tour manager, Pat Morrow?

**Neal**: That's right!

**Steve P.**: Ah haha... I suppose we have a lot to do now.

**Herbie**: Absolutely a lot. Kasumi & Kevin are helping out as well.
