The Great Adventure
Chapter 1
Casey Abrams sat in his dressing room reading a book when someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" he called. Jennifer Lopez and Adele appeared in the doorway. Adele handed a piece of paper to Casey.
"What's this for?" he wondered.
"I don't really know what it's for." Adele said, "Someone left it in my dressing room."
"Why would someone leave this in your room if it was intended for me?" Casey asked, a little confused.
"I don't know." said Adele. She sat on the couch while Casey read the note to himself. After a few minutes, he spoke.
"According to this note, we have to go to the theme park across the street and use a "transport" to start our journey." Casey said, "What in the world do they mean by "transport?"
"Not sure." said Jennifer, "But there's only one way to find out." The three of them walked across the street to the theme park. Adele noticed a map listing the transporting rides and when they were leaving.
"There's an airplane leaving in 5 minutes." Adele said, pointing to a spot on the map.
"No thanks." said Jennifer, "I fly enough times in those things."
"What about the elephant ride?" asked Adele.
"Isn't that kinda babyish for us?" asked Casey.
"What about that flying swing ride that's leaving in 10 minutes?" Adele asked, pointing to yet another spot on the map.
"I guess we'll try that." said Jennifer. They walked over to the ride and waited for a few minutes as some kids began boarding the ride. As Casey pulled the safety bar down over his lap, he glanced around.
"Looks like we're the only adults on here." he said to Jennifer and Adele. As the ride started, several kids began asking them tons of questions.
"Are you going to sing for us?" "Do we have to go back to the orphanage? I really don't want to." "Do any of you want some cotton candy or a funnel cake when we're done?" "Do any of you have superpowers?"
"No,no, no, and no!" yelled Jennifer, "We're not here to sing, at least I don't think so!"
"Please stop asking about food." Casey complained, "It's making me hungry."
"Would you like to hear one of my songs?" Adele asked. Suddenly, the swings shot high into the air. Several kids screamed with excitement. One of them began singing a song on their iPod really loudly and out of tune.
"Shut up!" someone yelled. Several minutes later, the swings landed on the ground with a thud. As Jennifer got off the ride, she realized in shock that they weren't in California anymore.
"Where are we?" she cried out.

''This is a strange place'' said Adele. They looked around, there were no buildings or people to be seen. Then Jennifer's phone rang. It was Cat, she told Jennifer and the others, to stay exactly where they were. Seconds later, a helicopter came into view. It landed not far from them, and the pilot beckoned them on board. Next thing they knew they were flying. Adele said,''This is really exciting, I wonder where we are going''. Then the helicopter flew over what looked like a big lake. In the middle was an island, where the helicopter landed. They all got out, and walked down a path towards a huge house. Stood in the doorway, with a big smile on her face, was Cat. ''Come on in everybody'' she squealed, I've got some food ready for you''.............................

After eating a very nice lunch, Jennifer and the others were told to get on the roller coaster transport and head to Nashville where they would be staying in a large mansion with other country music singers. Once they arrived, Casey went to take a nap on the couch while Jennifer went upstairs with Taylor Swift to chat and work on some songs. Adele played a game of cards with Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert. Thirty minutes later, Casey was rudely awakened to loud music coming from the studio down the hallway.
"Who's playing that?" Casey groaned, "Don't you know I'm taking a freaking nap?" Casey became even more annoyed when the music got louder. He got off the couch to investigate. When he opened the door to the studio, he saw the members of Lady Antebellum singing with Luke Bryan, a good friend of theirs.
"Can you guys keep it down?" Casey asked, "I'm trying to take a nap."
"We're having a jam session!" Hillary exclaimed. Suddenly, a woman with long brown hair appeared in the doorway.
"He can sleep in my room." she said, "That way, you can keep working on your material for the big show."
"Thanks, Sara." said Hillary with a smile.
"Thanks for getting me away from them." Casey told Sara as they walked down the hallway.
"No problem." Sara replied, "My room is at the back of the house, so it's much quieter in there. You'll get plenty of sleep." As Casey drifted off to sleep a few minutes later, he felt like he had a new friend in Sara. The big question was: Was he going to be in the big show with her?

The rehearsals went on into the night, Casey slept all through them. The next morning when he awoke it was all quiet, he went down for breakfast. Everbody was in the kitchen, having someting to eat and chatting. He gave Lady Antebellum a dirty look and walked past them. Adele was sitting on her own, so he went to join her. ''Did you have a good sleep'' asked Adele. ''Eventually, thanks to Sara, I did'' said Casey. ''Is she around this morning ?''. ''I think she and Jennifer went off early this morning, they had someting to do'' Adele told him.
With breakfast finished Lady Antebellum said they were going to go into town to meet some friends. ''At least it will be quieter with them gone '' Casey whispered to Adele.
No sooner had he said that when some loud music could be heard booming from the music room. ''Oh no ! he yelled who's making that racket ?''................................................

Casey jumped up from his chair. Putting his plate in the sink, he ran to the music room to see what was going on. Opening the door, he saw the members of Rascal Flatts rehearsing for the show.
"What's going on here?" yelled Casey. The bass guitarist began swearing. The lead singer walked over to Casey.
"Sorry we're too loud." he said, "We have a lot of rockin' songs to prepare." Suddenly, Taylor appeared in the doorway.
"Casey, I have a message for you." she said, handing him a piece of paper. It was from Sara. She told him he needed to come to the Grand Ole Opry to rehearse with her and Jennifer for the show. Taylor used some kind of magical powers to teleport her and Casey to the Opry. Casey gazed around the huge room before following Taylor onto the stage. Sara was standing center stage strumming on her guitar.
"Hey there, Casey." she said, "I've written a few songs that you could duet on with me. Wanna try them out?"
"Sure thing." said Casey, taking his place next to her. After singing through a few songs, Taylor and Jennifer did a cute dance number. Casey said he was hungry, so they all headed to a local cafe for a bite to eat. While they were eating, Casey told Sara how much he disliked Lady Antebellum.
"I think there's a way we can get rid of them." she said, "We'll need Taylor's help, though."
"What do you want me to do?" Taylor asked.
"We'll think of something." said Sara.
"Do you think we can really do that?" asked Casey, "Do you think we could throw them out of the mansion, too?"
"We'd better throw them out." said Jennifer, "They kept coming into Taylor's room asking for song suggestions and Hillary kept asking me about my beauty products. It was really annoying, especially since we just got here." Suddenly, there was a flash of light. Steven Tyler appeared. Jennifer jumped up and rushed over to give him a hug.
"Where did he come from?" Sara asked Casey.
"He's one of the judges on Idol." Casey explained.
"Maybe he can help us with our plan." said Taylor.

Later that day, Lady Antebellum returned to the mansion. Jennifer met them in the hallway. ''What are you guys doing tonight'' she asked. They told her they were going to try their new outfits on, and later were going to rehearse some more.
''Oh'' said Jennifer, ''I don't think you can use the music room, the power has been cut off in there.'' Adele then came up to them, and said, ''Not to far from here is a late night diner, they have entertainment there, I think the owner would let you play''.
Lady Antebellum were over the moon, they said as soon as they had changed they would go to the diner.
Jennifer and Adele looked at each other, and laughed.
That night at the diner, Lady Antebellum were singing for the customers, it was going very well. When they had finished performing, they left. When they went outside, they found that their car had gone. ............................................

Back at the mansion, Casey was practicing some old tunes on his stand-up bass while Sara was typing a message to her fans on the computer. Just then, Taylor appeared in the doorway.
"What's up?" Casey asked.
"The potion's ready." Taylor informed him, "Are you ready to receive your powers?" Casey nodded and followed Taylor into the kitchen, where a cup of fruit punch was sitting on the counter. After drinking it, Casey began to feel very strange.
"What's happening?" he asked almost in a whisper. Within seconds, Casey was hovering above the table. He flew through the air in a daze, not really sure what to do.
"Casey, you're flying!" Taylor screamed.

Yea, I know I'm flying, and I don't like it'' screamed Casey, as he bumped into a wall. ''I think we'd better go outside, you can practice safer there'' said Taylor. Jennifer heard all the racket they were making, and came in to see what all the fuss was about. ''I'm taking him outside'' said Taylor. ''Good job'' said Jennifer,'' I don't want him wrecking the house''.
Meanwhile Lady Antebellum had started to walk back to the mansion. As they walked down the road, a car pulled up alongside them. A mans voice said, ''You guys want a lift''.
They all shouted yes, and jumped in the car, and then it sped off.
They drove a few miles and then the driver said, ''Best if you get out here''. They got out of the car, and it drove straight off.
There was no mansion in sight, they were in the middle of nowhere..........................................................

Meanwhile, Casey was becoming more comfortable with his powers. He had flown a few times around the backyard with Taylor following close behind to make sure he didn't hurt himself. He also discovered he was superstrong by lifting a large tree off the ground. After practicing for a while, Casey decided to test out his music powers. After discovering that he could annoy someone to wit's end just by singing aCCR song, he practiced his bass for a while. While he was doing this, Jennifer walked into the room with a big grin on her face.
"Steven just dropped them off." she told Taylor, "He's coming over to work on a couple of group numbers for the show. He's trying to find a female country artist who can duet with him on "Dream On."
"I'll try it." said Taylor. Just then, there was a flash of light. Thia Megia, Pia Toscano, Lauren Alaina and Ryan Seacrest appeared.
"Where are we?" asked Thia, glancing around.
"Is that really Taylor Swift?" squealed Lauren.
"Why did Steven send us here?" wondered Pia.
"Calm down." said Ryan, "I'm sure Jennifer and Casey will explain everything."

Meanwhile back on the road, Lady Antebellum were trying to find out where they were. They walked down an old dirt track, and came across a big house, it looked a bit creepy, but they knocked on the door. An old man answered it, ''Ah, you must be Lady Antebellum'' he said, ''My mistress is expecting you''. Then they were led to a big room, and were told to sit and wait. A few minutes later, and old woman entered the room. ''Hello'' she cackled. ''I'm here to help you, I am a witch, but don't be afraid, I am on your side''. ''The others don't want you at the mansion, and they don't want you in their show''. ''I will help you beat them''.
Back at the mansion Casey and Taylor were still flying around the yard, much to the annoyance of everyone else............................

Jennifer became so annoyed that she went inside the mansion to talk to Steven.
"Have you told them the news yet?" he asked.
"Not yet." said Jennifer, "I was hoping to do it after dinner." That night after dinner, Jennifer told everyone to join her in the music room for a meeting. Once everyone arrived, Jennifer flipped a switch and the lights dimmed.
"Put your camera down!" Jennifer growled when she saw Keith Urban pull his out of his pocket and begin filming.
"This is an act, right?" he asked, "'cause if it is, I wanna film this. It's not every day we get a free performance from one of the world's leading Latina actresses."
"This isn't an act." said Jennifer in a whisper, "We need to put our plan into action."
"What plan?" demanded Carrie, "We have a show to do in two weeks."
"We'll still do the show." said Jennifer.
"Well, what's going on?" demanded Miranda, trembling with fear.

Jennifer explained to them that Lady Gaga was trying to own the whole music industry, and she must be stopped.
Adele asked ''What can we do''? Jennifer said they must use their musical talents to defeat her.
Everybody was a little shocked, but all were willing to give it their best shot.
Meanwhile back with Lady Antebellum, the witch was telling them about her plans. Lady Antebellum laughed when they heard them. ''They start tonight, at midnight'' she laughed.
Back at the mansion, Taylor was trying to calm Casey down, he was still excited about his flying skills. Taylor decided to sing, to calm him down. As she started singing Carrie came over to join her . Then Jennifer and Adele came in, and they all sang a medley of songs together.
Then suddenly, there was a clap of thunder, and the ground shook....................................................................

"It's an earthquake!" screamed Casey, "We're doomed!"
"What are we going to do now?" shouted Taylor. The lights in the room began flashing on and off. Suddenly, Jennifer had an idea.
"Let's combine our powers so we can get back to the studio!" she shouted. Just then, a young teenage girl rushed into the room carrying an acoustic guitar.
"I need to go with you!" she screamed, "This place is giving me the creeps! I just woke up from a terrible dream!"
"Katie Armiger, do you have any music powers?" asked Taylor.
"Powers?" asked Katie, "What are you talking about?"" Jennifer gave Katie a cup of fruit punch that had the same pill in it that had transformed Casey. After drinking it, Katie began to feel very dizzy. Jennifer noticed this and grabbed Katie's arm to keep her from falling to the ground. She turned to the others.
"Everybody, hold hands and close your eyes!" she shouted, "I'll handle this!" Closing her eyes, Katie wondered what was going to happen to her next. Was she really part of this plan to defeat Lady Gaga? She didn't have long to think about it before Jennifer created a whirlwind that transported everyone onto the American Idol stage.

''I hope we'll be safer here'' gasped Taylor. ''I'm sure we'll be fine'' said Jennifer. I'll go and ask if we can stay here for a while, till we can get back to the mansion'' said Adele.
Little did they know, but the witch and Lady Antebellum were also in the theatre. Jennifer suggested that they go to the canteen for something to eat. Casey jumped up and down with joy. ''Great, I'm starving'' he said, as he ran ahead of the others.
While they were having their food, Jennifer thought it would be a good idea for a couple of people return to the mansion, to check it out. ''Any volunteers'' ? Adele said. Taylor said she would go back with Casey. Jennifer called Casey over. ''You and Taylor are going back to the mansion, the rest of us are staying here to rehearse''. ''But, I've still got lots of food to eat'' squealed Casey.
Taylor slapped a burger into his hand, ''Here'' she said '' Eat this on the way'', then she laughed.
The next thing, Casey found himself flying through the air with Taylor...........................................................................

When Casey and Taylor arrived at the mansion, they discovered that the earthquake had left it in a wreck.
"Let's get out of here!" Casey squealed, "Something awful could happen!" Taylor agreed and called everyone together.
"We need to get back to California. We'll be safer there." she told the group. Seconds later, everyone was flying through the air. Within a matter of seconds, they arrived in the backstage room of the American Idol studio. Katie was sitting on the couch chatting with Stefano while Adele was working on a duet with Haley. Casey rushed over to Jennifer, who was sitting at the pool table with James.
"We had to get out of the mansion!" he told them, "It was a mess!"
"What are you talking about, man?" James asked.
"I'll explain later." said Casey. As soon as everyone got to the Idol mansion, the new arrivals began arguing about which Idol contestant or judge they would be sleeping with.
"I wanna be with Jennifer!" yelled Miranda.
"No, I wanna be with her!" said Reba loudly, "Her and I would make a great team!"
"I wanna room with Casey!" screamed Blake.
"I thought I told you I wanted to be in his room!" Keith shouted, "We would make a much better duo than you would with him."
"Shut up, you dum-dum!" yelled Blake.
"There's only one way to stop this!" yelled Carrie, grabbing Blake and throwing him into the pool.
"Hey, it's cold in here!" he shouted, treading water. The others all just laughed and went inside to get changed for dinner.
