life has just been so crazy you know?
between the internship and all the homework that we get every day,
this is probably the only thing that's keeping me going right now.
have you told your parents yet?
uh, not exactly.
i've talked about it before though and they seemed pretty supportive.
gosh, we only have to wait a couple more weeks for this but it feels like it's taking years!
well technically we have been waiting years already, right?
you're right. i guess it's just the excitement that this is finally happening!
i feel the same way pookiekins!
hey gerbear? i kind of have to go right now.
one of my partners wants to call me for a big group project, it's pretty important.
okay jenny, i love you!
i'm gonna go tell my parents about this later.
hope they don't freak out.
don't even worry about it, they love you!
whatever you say, bye my baked potato!
so gerald, how's your online school doing?
it's okay. getting all a's and b's and everything except chemistry, what else is new?
and what about you and jennifer? are you two still an item?
yes mom.
i hear you two blabbing on the phone every night, it seems like you're getting pretty serious.
do you think you'll marry her?
mom!
i'm only kidding!
well actually... about me and jennifer.
yes?
you know how we've been going out for almost two years,
but we've only really seen each other once because we met on spring break?
yes...
well we've been talking and i saved up all my christmas
money so i could visit her in wispawnsin for valentine's day!
are... are you serious?
yeah, i just wanted to make sure you were okay with it before i booked the flight.
well you've never been on your own before, but it seems like you put a lot of thought into this.
do you want us to come with you?
no it's fine. is that a yes or...?
as long as you keep up with your schoolwork and come back in one piece.
really!? oh my god, thank you so much!
this is just a phase, right?
i hope so. i wanted to say no,
but i guess gerald's at the age where he needs to make his own mistakes.
hey are you guys ready for the new emu wars update?
i can't believe they're adding in koalas.
yeah, that's going to be so sick. i'm going to pretend they're mr. dempsey.
are you going to be playing with us gerald?
huh? oh, i'm actually going to be busy next week... and the week after that.
wait what?
wait, dude. are you moving away?
yeah what's going on?
no i'm not moving!
i'm actually gonna see jennifer on friday.
okay...
in real life.
wait what!?
so wait, are you like, going on a plane to the
middle of nowhere to see this girl you've been dating online?
she lives an hour from milwaukee, it's not the middle of nowhere!
what if she's a catfish?
i met her on spring break, you were with me remember?
okay but don't you think this is a little much?
yeah, i mean it's one thing to have a girlfriend online or whatever, but once you see her in
person you're gonna realize it's so much better to have a girlfriend in real life.
guys...
yeah, once you get back here you're gonna be super depressed and break up.
geez, thanks for the support you guys!
you were cool with jennifer when we all played emu wars together!
yeah but that's a game!
i mean we knew you two were dating but we didn't know it was like... serious!
oh my god! thomas, you've had a girlfriend for as long as i have and arnold,
you've never even gotten close to a girl in your life!
...i mean i sat next to bridgette in math class.
you guys are the worst.
have fun playing your stupid games without me for two weeks!
i'm gonna have a great time with jennifer and nothing's going to go wrong!
what if this was all a waste of time?
are you sure you want to do this?
dad, i already bought the ticket, i'm seeing jennifer whether i'm ready or not.
it's going to be cold over there, did you remember to pack your winter clothes?
yes mom.
you text us when you get off the plane okay?
i will, i love you!
i love you too, make sure to take lots of pictures!
kids these days and their long distance relationships.
he'll get over it sometime.
hi there, i'm taking the 2pm flight to milwaukee, name is gerald guinness.
hey jenny what's up?
are you at the airport yet?
yeah, i'm actually waiting for the flight right now.
oh shoot, i'll make it quick then.
i just wanted to let you know how excited i am to finally see you again!
same here. by the way, where'd you go the other night?
it's not lucky to ignore my calls.
huh? oh, i was uh... busy packing and stuff...
i couldn't talk and i guess i forgot to call you back.
it's okay. isn't this so weird? it's gonna be our first time spending real quality time together.
i know we saw each other before but it's just different when you first meet, you know?
- this is the boarding call for flight 46b to milwaukee.
oh that's my flight! gotta go pookie!
i love you gerbear, have a safe flight, see you at 7!
gerald!
oh the flight didn't give you much trouble eh?
only trouble was waiting for you.
i'm so happy to finally see you!
so nice to finally meet you gerald, we've heard so many good things about you!
i'm ruth and this is my husband frank.
did you bring your winter clothes?
i brought some, why?
oh, it's like four degrees outside.
wait.
four as in below freezing!?
wanna stop by the drive-through gerald?
we can stop by whatever you're craving.
oh uh...
man, i'm really craving jack-in-the-box right now.
what's that?
eh, that must be something they have over in catifornia.
none of those here!
oh man. what about... pieology?
no.
del taco?
no.
in-n-out?
gerald, you're in wispawnsin!
let's just go buy culvers and call it a night.
culvers, what's that?
hey this is pretty good!
i didn't know what to expect with fried cheese curds but i'm going to miss this when i get home.
that's good old wispawnsin for ya. they don't call us cheeseheads for nothing!
mom, you're embarrassing me.
so gerald, are you a surfer?
what?
can you see the beach from your house?
i live two hours from the beach.
have you met kim kardas-
i'm gonna stop you right there.
i live in epic llama city, which is an hour from paws angeles.
it's nowhere near the beach, we have terrible authority figures,
and our vice mayor is a youtuber!
see? i told you he knows celebrities!
i know i'm not the typical catifornian, and that's kind of why i like jennifer so much.
she doesn't care about where i'm from, we fell in love because of
our personalities and our trust for each other.
aw!
okay i think i'm finished, we're going into my room.
keep the door open!
whoa, it's so weird to actually be in your room.
i mean i could kind of tell what it looked like on facetime,
but it feels like finding the missing piece of a puzzle.
you were my missing piece!
oh jenny!
so we have two weeks, what are we gonna do with all that time?
well, i still have to go to my internship for nursing school and i have some big
assignments due, but there should be enough time to do whatever you want.
do you want the tourist guide to wispawnsin,
or do you want to skip it and go by my favorite spots instead?
how about a little bit of both?
welcome to wispawnsin, welcome to wispawnsin!
we're known for many things such as yogurt, milk, and cheese,
and the biggest clock you've seen in your life!
wow!
here's gerald and jenny next to the biggest penny!
will our two lovers find valentine's is fun offline?
or will their love start falling apart?
next scene!
could you at least make an effort not to clog the drain with your fur?
hey i live here! and look, my room's a pigsty because of you!
i thought you said it was fine to leave food in here!
yeah, as in a snack, not a four course meal!
fine, i'll pick up the trash, see if i care!
it's not like we're wasting time while i'm...
here.
why are we fighting?
this is something we've been looking forward to for years, and we're fighting.
i'm sorry pookie, i got a little carried away there.
i know i shouldn't have gotten so worked up.
it's okay. hey, what day is it today?
uh, i think it's sunday.
no i mean the date.
let me check. uh...
the 14th.
okay. wait.
does that mean today is...
valentine's day!?
jennifer, you've got people here for you! can they go in your room?
uh sure mom.
wait, who?
hope we're not interrupting anything!
who's this dude jenny, your cousin?
what's happening?
franny, dustin, this is my boyfriend gerald.
so he is real!
gerald, these are my two friends from nursing school.
we actually have a huge project due next week.
so uh, is your boyfriend gonna help us out or what?
maybe we should change our subject to be about the effects of online dating on delusional lovers.
what?
are you telling me that your boyfriend came all the way from timbuktu just to see you?
hey, i'm from-
now that you've proved he's real, how are you guys going to stay together after he leaves?
dustin, i'm not trying to prove anything!
i wasn't even going to tell you until you guys barged into my room!
yeah, because we have a project due next week that you've been completely ignoring us on!
get your head out of the clouds jennifer, long distance relationships never work out.
now that you brought your online friend into the real world or whatever,
you two are never going to see each other the same way.
and don't come crying to us when you break up next month
and are failing nursing school because you got so distracted.
who even asked you frannie!?
forget the stupid project, i'll do it myself and turn it in late!
your funeral.
get out of my house!
thanks for ruining our valentine's day!
oh, was that today?
sorry, have fun while it lasts because everything's booked already.
bye jennifer, bye...
gerald.
what kind of stupid name is that?
i'm sorry gerbear, those aren't friends.
why does everyone think we're destined to fail?
it's not like we're the only couple going long distance right now.
they're just insecure... but what if they're right?
what do you mean?
what if you go home and we miss being around each
other so much that we realize we can't stay long distance anymore?
i mean, i just started nursing school and you still have to finish high school,
there's no way we're going to be ready to break the distance anytime soon.
jenny, ever since i laid eyes on you at the blind date in pawnolulu i knew you were the one for me.
no one gets the struggles of being the little guy more than you do,
and the fact that you love memes and video games too makes me love you even more!
it's gonna be hard when i leave, sure,
but our love is strong no matter what the distance... right?
gerald, i love you! i'm so sorry my friends almost ruined valentine's day.
but they're probably right, everything's gonna be booked or closed.
it's okay jenny, we don't need to go on a fancy date. all we need is each other.
oh gerald!
so what do you want to do tonight?
hmm... actually, i have a great idea.
dang, gerald is missing out.
yeah, this new update is sick.
hey guys!
what the- gerald! isn't it valentine's day?
yeah, shouldn't you be watching some sappy girl movie with your girlfriend?
i can hear you!
we actually kind of forgot to book anything so we decided
to spend tonight playing our favorite video game.
whoa, these koalas mean business!
how long are you staying at jennifer's house?
just a few more days, but we actually calculated the cost to get here and between her summer job
and my christmas money, we should be able to see each other twice a year!
i've never been to catifornia before, i can't wait to meet you guys!
oh great, we don't need a girl in the group.
hey, you just killed my guy!
you'll get used to me.
hey, maybe that's not so much of a bad thing.
when you come over, we could double date.
yeah jenny, there's so many amazing hangout spots, here you're gonna love it.
i can't wait! but for now, i'm just happy to be where we are right now.
hey, you just killed my guy! how are you level 300!?
i'm a lot cooler than you think.
all right, all right. team?
let's do it. koala army at 10 o'clock!
nice catch, jennifer!
hey i think i'm finally gonna rank up!
