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."

"Well, you could at least avoid her for a day." Hi-5 advised.

"Then, she's gonna think I didn't like her anymore." Gene sighed. "I can't take this anymore, Hi-5. Not because Jailbreak started to do her duties as a princess and obeying her family, but because she was under pressure of being a princess. I hate seeing her so depressing."

"So, what are you gonna do?" The hand emoji asked.

"I have to keep Jailbreak away from being depressed if this keeps happening for the rest of her life, even if it means I never get to see her again."

Gene threw the tennis racket away, and he marched out of the tennis court, leaving Hi-5 concerned about him.

"Ooooohhhhhh, he's gonna die." He said.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gene made it in front of Jailbreak's mansion, but he kept himself hidden behind the bushes.

"Okay, Gene. This is the hardest, riskiest, most terrifying thing you've ever done, but Jailbreak's life depends on what you do next." He said to himself.

Gene sneaked on the side of the mansion, where he saw Jailbreak writing something on her notebook in her room. He's glad that he found her quickly. He picked up a small stone, and threw it on Jailbreak's window.

Jailbreak heard a loud tap outside her window. She walked towards, and opened it. She thought it was another bird, but there's nothing.

"Psst."

She heard a 'psst' as she looked down, and saw Gene, hiding in a bush.

"Jailbreak, come down here." He whispered a little louder.

"Why?" Jailbreak asked quietly.

"I have something to tell you."

"Could you, at least, tell me tomorrow?"

"No, no time. Just come down. I need to talk to you very important.

"Okay."

Jailbreak used the blankets and curtains and tied them together to make a rope, then threw the end outside the window, and slid down, landing in front of Gene. "Hmm, no wonder princesses should have fancy rooms."

Gene quickly held Jailbreak's hand. "Jailbreak, come with me here, and we need to be quick before somebody sees us."

"Gene, what's going on?" She asked.

"I'll explain later, just follow me."

Gene and Jailbreak ran to the garden, where the place was empty and no one can see them there.

"Okay, Gene, what do you want to talk about?"

Gene scratched the back of his head as he was nervous to tell her. "Jailbreak, like I said before, you're the coolest emoji I've ever met, and I wanted to be with you always."

Jailbreak was touched. "Oh, Gene, that was incredible..."

"But I think that's not gonna happen."

The princess emoji's smile turned to frown in confused. "What? What do you mean?"

Gene sighed. He knew this would happened. "Jailbreak, we can't be like this forever."

"Why? You don't like me anymore?"

"No, it's not you. It's just, your family. They... they just want us to be who we are."

"Don't mind my family, Gene! They don't understand what we have been through those times."

"I know, but they're your family. They're just doing what was best for you, and I don't want you to go against them. That makes you feel worst."

"But, Gene, I don't want to live with my family anymore. That's why I ran away to live in the Cloud, so I can do whatever I want and be what I want to be, and get out of these royalty rules."

"But why won't live in the Cloud by then?"

Why else that I decided to stay and work in the Text Center? Why else I came back?" The princess smiled warmly. "Because I love you."

Gene's eyes widened with a red blush appeared on his cheeks. "You do?"

"Yes, and I don't want to break up with you." Jailbreak admitted. "I have to obey my father so you wouldn't get hurt."

"Not only me, you'll get hurt too."

"But I can't obey him anymore. Gene, I wanted to be with you too. Let's just run away from here. Let's go to the Cloud together, where we can do what we want, like what you said to me before!" Jailbreak admitted before that she can't the princess that what she was here in Textopolis and wanted to be alone in the Cloud, but her mind suddenly changed when she has feelings for Gene, and wanted to be with him now.

Gene made a smile face, then frown, making Jailbreak worried. "Jailbreak, I loved to. I really loved to be with you, but we can't just run away from our problems. We should face it."

"But Gene..."

"And that's why I'm here!" Gene can catch a glimpse on the king and the queen, who was walking down the stair outside the mansion, probably looking for Jailbreak. He was afraid of doing this, but it's a right thing to do. "This is for your own good!"

The multi-expressive emoji made a risky thing ever. Gene leaned on Jailbreak's face, which she moved her head a little backward, but his caught hers as he kissed her passionately.

The king and queen saw the 'meh' kissing their daughter as they realized their own daughter disobeyed their rules. They gasped in horror as their heads turned red and shouted loudly and angrily,

"LLLIIIIIINNDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!"

Their voices were heard all over Textopolis. All emojis, including Hi-5, Mel, and Mary, are startled by that loud scream.

Back at the mansion, the king kicked Gene out on the street, and the queen grabbed Jailbreak's wrist tightly.

"You're in lockdown until you can behave like a real princess!" The queen scolded as she dragged her daughter back inside the mansion, and the king locked all doors and windows all over the mansion with steel bars and alarm lasers.

Jailbreak was now in her room as she showed herself to Gene through her window sadly.

Gene sighed sadly as his face turned to sadness with a tear appeared from his left eye. He loved Jailbreak so much, but he might never saw her again, "It had to be done."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When he walked away from the mansion, and was about to go home, Gene was alone on the street when everyone was asleep.

Suddenly, a large dark shadow approached him as he felt someone was following him. Gene turned around, and gasped in horror as he was about to run away, but a claw caught him, and knocked him out unconscious.
