The Emoji Movie 2

It had to be done

As usual, like any other day, working time for all emojis.

For Jailbreak, well still working at the scanner, but she's not in a mood greeting everybody right now, including Gene, who was waving at her 'hi'. Instead of waving him back, she shook her head down in sadness and ignored him.

When Gene saw her ignoring him, he got the feeling that something's didn't feel right. The Jailbreak he knew never ignored him like that. It has got to do with her family, and he wanted to find out.

After a busy day, many emojis were excited to go back home, but Jailbreak walked slowly and sadly towards the exit with the other emojis.

Then, she heard that sweet familiar voice that she wanted to hear all day.

Jailbreak!"

She pretended to ignore that so she kept walking away.

"Jailbreak, wait up!"

She still tried to ignore him, until he ran up beside her.

"Jailbreak, what's the matter?" Gene asked. "You never ignored me like that before. Is there's something wrong? If there was, I can help you."

"No, Gene, nothing's wrong." Jailbreak replied.

"Really? If nothing's wrong, just give me a smile." Gene showed his big smile to make Jailbreak smile, but when she looked at him, she didn't smile. "Come on, Jailbreak. Tell me what the problem is."

Jailbreak sighed. She can't keep a secret from Gene anymore as she confessed. "Gene, I like you. I always like you. But it's not you was the problem, it's my family. See? This is the reason why I want to get out of here to be free from these princess rules. My dad didn't want me to be with you for a while. I can still work, but he didn't want us to hang out long. He said being with you ruined my status as a princess, and he didn't want that."

Gene's happy emotion suddenly turned to frown. "So does this mean we won't seeing each other anymore?"

"Gene, if you want us to be friends, we'll just stay away from each other for a little while. It won't be long."

"But I want us to be more than just friends."

"What do you mean?"

Gene gently held her hand. "Jailbreak, I didn't just like you. I like like you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. If you want to."

Jailbreak honestly wanted to spend time with Gene for the rest of her life. She wanted to say 'yes', but she still has to stay with her family. She retreated her hand from his. "Gene, I wanted to, but I also loved my family. I can't just leave them. I'm sorry, okay?"

Jailbreak ran off with tears in her eyes. Gene wanted to catch up with her, but he understood her situation as a princess, and since the king was here, they both have to obey every command he had given.

Later, Hi-5 invited Gene to a tennis play.

At the tennis court, Hi-5 felt enthusiastic while throwing balls with a racket to Gene, but the multi-expressive emoji hasn't caught a single ball as he was not in a mood for playing.

Hi-5 noticed his best friend as he asked. "Uh, Gene, are you okay?"

"Ugh, I can't play, Hi-5." Gene sighed. "It's cool that Jailbreak won't listen to her parents, but if she doesn't stay away from me, she gonna get hurt and depressed by her own family."
