Now, Alexander had to think of a way that could offset his grandfather's plan to have him take up acting.
Several options came to mind but a few of them needs some setting up. It was too bad that setting some of them up requires the help of his grandfather.
Creed Entertainment is a family business and there was no way that Old Sullivan would aid him in squirming away from taking up acting.
That narrows Alexander's options but the more narrow it got, the better it was for him to deliberate.
Fortunately, a perfect opportunity came up for him to choose.
The aforementioned "perfect opportunity" happened just a few more days from the first voice acting session.
Alexander truly now had child acting excuses to take a leave from school but that school detail was best set aside. It's not like the excuse of going to school was going to stop his grandfather's Alex acting scheme.
As for the "perfect opportunity", it involved reading a script, script consultations, and script rehearsals. Of course, with two girls involved, namely Cocky Cox and "Friend" Milla.

At a small table by CREED's cafe area, a trio was holding papers and had a table reading for the Dragonball script.
"Hey, hey! We only need 4 more Dragonballs, right!" Alexander was on his semi-Goku mode and his visualization perk had pretty much been tweaked by him to near-mastery.
Bulma and Goku were riding the Capsule Corp. bike and his visualize Goku mouthed while he supplemented. "That'll be easy!"
"Are you crazy?" Courteney flipped her script with her Bulma voice. "I guess since you're a country bumpkin, you don't know, but this world is a huge place!"
"Erm... sorry for butting in but what does country bumpkin mean exactly?" Courteney was pretty much used to this little boss by now that she can hesitantly ask these sorts of questions.
"Hey! Don't disturb my "boy friend" when he is in Goku mode." Milla butted in and emphasized on what should be emphasized for this older girl to know. "If you want to know, I, as his knowledgeable "girl friend", will tell you. A country bumpkin is a person from the country who doesn't know things about the city."
"Wow, little girl. Your knowledge far precedes me." Courteney had to appease this supposed girl friend. She was an experienced lady and knew why this girl was acting up around her.
This Milica Jovovich was clearly Alexander Creed's aforementioned friend, whom Courteney thought was supposed to be her "rival" during her Mrs. Creed stunt.
Anyways, Courteney had already moved on from that embarrassing and stupid blunder. However, she still sighed at the sight of the girl's obvious crush on a scarily cold boy.
It would seem that kids these days were way advanced and this little Milica's journey in love could very well be a dramatic romance film.
Anyways, before Courteney could go on with tai chi-ing Milla's territorial markings, Alexander had to step in for the country bumpkin thing.
"The explanation was quite good for someone who didn't know 'perfunctory' before." He commented towards Milla but the Goku-esque state was already gone. He also explained to Cocky Cox in music terms. "Just refer to Cal Smith's Country Bumpkin song, Miss Cox."
"Oh." Courteney didn't put the little girl's antics to mind but had her curiosity piqued by Alexander. "You're really talented, aren't you? I heard that even veterans acting or method acting need some sort of special switch to get out of their "acting" state. You can practically change from this to that in an instant. Care to share your secret to an actress like, big sis?"
Even Milica, who had her aggression turned to the older girl, listened up. She had star dreams, after all.
Alexander sighed at that question. His method acting was not method acting at all but a side-effect with newfound mastery of the Chaos Monster's perk. All he could say is. "Practice is needed, I guess."
Courteney's brows were trembling. How could the boy tell others to practice when he himself hadn't practiced at all?
While the older girl was hiding her complaints, the other little girl had stars reflecting in her eyes and seem to take the advice seriously.
Cox and Jovovich's true thoughts were obvious to read from Alexander's perspective and felt that this duo was truly the perfect decision helpers.
Each one was representative of a respective anti-acting solution.
He hadn't collected much data yet, so this tripartite script must go on. In any case, Alexander apologized. "Sorry about Milla being here, Miss Cox. Her Chichi role is still far into the future yet she insists on joining our early episode script practice."
Milla grumbled at the side. "It's not entirely my fault. Grandpa Sullivan asked me to convince you to take acting classes with me. Besides, I heard you're hanging around an old lady. Don't be friends with an old lady, Alex. They'll be old and wrinkly when we grow up, we kids should hang out with fellow kids."
Cocky Cox, who was just at ease with the girl's childish antics, was now a bit pissed. "I'm no old lady, little girl. I'm still a young lady. When you two grow up, I'll still be a young lady as well!"
"How's that possible?!" Milla was shocked but she still ribbed back. "You would probably be a wrinkly young lady then. Stay away from Alex by then though."
Alexander was a bit worried now. Milla's blatant affection had already been obvious for a long while now and what he was a bit worried about was her 'old' and 'wrinkly' comments.
It was public knowledge in the future that Courteney Cox had a destructive spree with botox and whatnot.
It can be noted from that that Cocky Cox took her age and appearance quite seriously. Little Milica's words may or may not have spurned Cox's history to meddle with face surgeries earlier.
It was not within his intention to pit these two girls in an age war or girlish bickering at all and things just seemed to have spiraled away from the anti-acting option deliberations that Alexander hoped things would go on.
Without doubt, Milla is jealous while Cocky Cox is furious, the wrinkled-up appearance of her script was a sign of that.
Fortunately, he had a lot of tricks from his Cassanova days. He just bluntly commented at some point and was barely audible enough for them to hear. "Jealous and petty girls are truly a mess to be around with."
"Erm... I'm not jealous" Milla didn't want her feelings to be exposed.
"I'm not petty at all." On the other hand, Courteney felt that she was really dumb for nearly fighting a little girl half her age.
The duo behaved quite well after that and the interrupted script reading session ensued. Of course, the glares that were exchanged between the girl duo were apparent from time to time.
------
Eventually, their reading session ended at some point and Alexander sneakily added in his hidden agenda for having the two girls side by side.
It was not because these two had some original connection with Director Brian de Palma. Still, it was weird to note that these duo around him had some connection with that Carrie guy.
His deliberative choice was also not about choosing a girlfriend to date... Having a date would not help his anti-acting case at all.
Alexander's true purpose was to deliberate whether Games or Music was the next option to go.
Games was assigned to Courteney because he read from her resume that she worked at some gaming company called Bethesda Softworks.
Of course, Music was for Milla. Her progression in her singing training was integral for Creed Music to be pushed forward.
It was a silly her or her? choice but it was truly about Music or Games?
Anyways, the bickering complications from their table readings aside, Cocky Cox said that the game industry was not doing good at all. Setting up a franchise opening on that part would be hard press for Alexander to do on his own.
Well, Milla did pull through on her Music representative end. Her months' progress since March was good enough for Alexander to make his case.
It would seem that Musical May had another layer to it aside from animation sound and dubbing.
Music was his anti-acting operation! In the end, Alexander felt a bit silly to have to go through the entire script reading ordeal when the final decision seems simple enough.

Another filler that didn't feel quite right. Anyways, onwards to the next thing: Music!
This is a work of fiction and a lot of unresearched topics so don't bash my trashy work too much.
