The next morning, Gene woke up very well as he fell asleep last night after he, his family, and friends went out to celebrate after Mel won the election. Gene groomed himself first, and went downstairs to eat breakfast with his parents.

When he went to the kitchen, he only saw his mother, preparing breakfast for him, but he didn't see his father around. "Hey, where's dad?" He asked.

"He went to work early, Gene." Mary replied, placing a plate of pancakes on the table. "It's his first day of work as the new system supervisor."

"Oh, right. I almost forgot." Gene chuckled as he sliced the pancake with his fork. "I just hope he would be okay on his first day. Now, I'm acting like you two when you were worried about me during my first day of work."

"Oh, Gene, your daddy worked in the Text Center for so long. He'll be fine."

"I know, Mom."

"It's very thoughtful of you for letting your father win."

"He deserves it, Mom. If it weren't for him, I won't be multi-expressive."

"I wish you both a good luck on your work, Gene."

"We're okay everyday, Mom, and you too. Alex needed a meh."

With this emotional conversation between a mother and a child, Mary approached Gene, and hugged him lovingly. Even though she can't have multi-expressions like her husband and son to show her feelings, she always loved them both.

Gene kissed his mother on the cheek as he took his lunch bag that Mary prepared for him.

"Don't forget your father's breakfast. He hasn't eaten his breakfast yet." She called as Gene rushed back for his dad's breakfast that was kept on a brown paper bag, and rushed towards the door.

"I gotta go, Mom. Are you sure you'll catch up?"

"Don't worry, Gene. I won't be late." Mary said as she was about to wash the dishes.

Gene smiled before leaving his apartment to catch up the balloon. He quickly grabbed the string with his spare hand, and the balloon sent him to the Text Center. He let go of the string, and landed safely on his legs in front of the Center. When he was about to go in, many emojis treated him differently but normally. Like giving him a pat on the back, and waved 'hi' at him.

"Hey, Gene."

"Looking good as always, Gene."

"Hey, Gene, that was the most emotional speech you gave yesterday!" Cryer cried.

"Thanks." Gene thanked.

"Hi, Gene. You've done great." The angel emoji punched his shoulder.

"Thank you." He blushed with her cheeks turned red.

"Hi, Gene!" The princesses, who all wore pink dresses and tiaras, greeted with admiration.

"Hey, ladies." He clicked his tongue and winked at them as the girls fainted.

The glass door automatically opened as gene entered with more emojis greeted him. But the only thing that caught his attention was his dad as he saw him talking to the chips about the scanner. The chips nodded as they left to check on the scanner.

Mel turned his attention to Gene when he approached him. "Son."

"Hey, Dad." Gene greeted as he and his father hugged. "How's your work?"

"Being the system supervisor is not what I have been planned for, but it wasn't so bad after all." Mel replied.

"I'm glad you haven't overstressed yourself this morning."
