(for the record this probably will not be the name, it'll probably just be NAHEA2 :P)

I'm here to pitch the sequel to the first ever WCOM, NOT Another Happily Ever After! :D I've pitched this before but with a completely different plot- now that I've developed it significantly, I think it could be a much better movie!

The movie isn't going to focus on Micah and Charlotte- instead, we're going to get to see their twin children, Annie and Bradley. As a result, very little of the cast from the first movie will be returning. Actually, I think Tristan Conti and Crystal Diane wil be the only actors asked to return, and it'll only be for a montage seen at the beginning of the movie (I would like Tristan to sing I Think About You in the background of the montage, but that's for later)

Like I said, the movie focues on twins Annie and Bradley Johnson. They're both 18 years-old and going off to college soon, and each have their own plots that sort of tie together to make one big movie.

Before leaving for college, Annie wants to tell her longtime crush Steven that she likes him. Before she can, she learns that he has a girlfriend (Tiny), and is left heartbroken. She later learns that Steven has broken up with Tiny and he asks her out, only for her to find out later that he didn't really break up with her. Tiny dumps him, but he begs Annie not to. Annie is reluctant but he promises that she can trust him and that he really loves her (i'm considering having him sing Love You Like A Love Song here), and she eventually relents because she's a sucker for the corny stuff (she gets it from her mom).

Bradley's plot, meanwhile, focuses around him learning that his female best friend (Lizzie) has had a crush on him for years- however, his male best friend (Elliot) has a crush on her, creating a pretty awkward love triangle. Brad realizes that he likes Lizzie too and they start going out, which severs their friendship with (Elliot). Brad's Aunt Michelle (Jasmine Byran will not have to reprise her role, as Michelle would now be in her forties) advises him to not let a girl come between him and his friends, but he doesn't want to lose Lizzie as a friend either.

In the end, Brad and Lizzie make up with Elliot, and he moves on from Lizzie allowing Brad and Lizzie to keep dating. Annie finds out that Steven was dating a third girl and breaks up with him, deciding to focus on herself for awhile. However, in the end I think there will be some implications of Elliot + Annie, like maybe they smile at each other during the closing number or something (I'm thinking It's Our World, but we'll see)

Unlike NAHEA1, NAHEA2 will not be a musical. It'll have a few songs, though, but they're mostly background (I Think About You plays during the montage of Charlotte and Micah's lives together, Steven and Annie sing Love You Like A Love Song but that's the only song sung by characters, and then hopefully Annie's actress can sing It's Our World at the very end during the epilogue)

Returning characters: I may also be able to work Adrian and Arthur into the opening montage, and then Mark and Martin would reprise their roles. But I'm not sure on them, probably just Jessie and Michelle.
 * Micah Johnson: Annie and Brad's dad. Tristan Conti will (hopefully) reprise his role for the opening.
 * Charlotte Martin/Johnson: Annie and Brad's mom. She's also a famous singer. She and Micah give the kids advice throughout the movie, and have a small subplot of dealing with their children leaving. Crystal Diane will (hopefully) reprise her role for the opening.
 * Jessie Ross: Charlotte's high school best friend. She lives across the country from Charlotte now, but they keep contact via phones. She probably won't actually appear, but she's referenced regularly. I may be able to work her into the opening montage, in which case I'd like Marley Michele to reprise her role.
 * Michelle Cartwright: Micah's older sister, now married to Mr. Cartwright (unimportant character, I just think she'd be married now :P). She gives Brad some advice. Like Jessie, she may be able to appear in the opening montage, in which case I'd like Jasmine Byran to reprise her role.

New characters: So... what do you think? 
 * Annie Johnson: The daughter of Micah and Charlotte. She's had a crush on Steven, one of her acquaintances, since the beginning of high school, and plans to tell him before they go to college.
 * Bradley Johnson: The son of Micah and Charlotte, and Annie's twin. He'll probably be known mostly as Brad. His friendship circle quickly morphs into a love triangle when he learns that his best friend, Lizzie, has a crush on him, even though his other best friend, Elliot, has a crush on her.
 * Elliot: Brad's best friend. He's had a crush on Lizzie for years, and when Brad and Lizzie start going out, he stops talking to them.
 * Lizzie: Brad's best friend. She's had a crush on Brad for years, and although she knows Elliot likes her, she doesn't return his feelings.
 * Jane: Annie's fashionable best friend. Kind of like Diana from the first movie, but not evil. She also serves the role of Jessie, trying to set Annie up with other guys when she breaks up with Steven.
 * Steven: Annie's longtime crush. He's done basically every sport (football, basketball, baseball, soccer, even gymnastics) and is great at all of them. He also sings and plays guitar. Kind of like Adrian from the first movie in the fact that he cheats on Annie, but he's actually a jerk, unlike Adrian who was manipulated by Diana.
 * Tiny: Steven's girlfriend/ex-girlfriend. She breaks up with Steven when he cheats on her with Annie, but after Annie breaks up with Steven they become friends.
