(text-colour:"orange")[Phoenix] has been obsessed with the new musical, (text-style:"bold")[Hamilton]. She has a lot of merchandise, and has taken time to memorize all of the songs. She really wanted to go see the musical in Chicago, but her mother said, "It's too expensive." (text-colour:"orange")[Phoenix] has been begging to go ever since her friend, Christina went to see it. "It is (text-style:"bold")[such] a cool musical!" Her friend went on. "I wish that I could see it again. It was one of the best experiences of my life!" Other than her friend, a lot of other people had gone to see the musical. It was the most talked about topic in the school. (text-colour:"orange")[Phoenix] begged her mother (text-style:"fade-in-out")[again] and (text-style:"fade-in-out")[again] to take her to see Hamilton. Her parents saw how much Phoenix (text-colour:"red")[loved] Hamilton, and gave her an [[Offer]].If she saved up enough (text-colour:"green")[$$$] to get herself a ticket, her mom would buy herself a ticket and take them both to see the musical. (text-colour:"orange")[Phoenix] could save money for a few months, and she'd be able to go see her favorite musical. It would take a while, and she'd have to spend a lot of money, but it would be worth it. But later that day, (text-colour:"orange")[Phoenix] looked on the internet, and found a recording of Hamilton. She knew that it was an illegal recording, but she wanted to see the musical so badly. Saving up money would certainly take a lot of time and effort. What should she do?
[[Save up money]]
[[Watch illegal recording]]Congratulations, (text-colour:"orange")[Phoenix] is now saving up money to get her ticket. She waits a few months through the talk of the growing musical. (text-colour:"orange")[Phoenix] has finally saved enough money. She goes to tell her mother that she has saved enough money. They go to find tickets, but it turns out that the tickets are sold out for 6 months! (text-colour:"orange")[Phoenix] now has the decision to either wait 6 months, or to go back to the website with the (text-style:"outline")[illegal] documentation of Hamilton. What should she do?
[[Continue with Plan A]]
[[Watch the illegal video]] Unfortunately, (text-colour:"orange")[Phoenix] is now about to watch the illegal recording of Hamilton. In all of her (text-style:"emboss")[excitement] to see the musical (even if it wasn't live), she didn't think about the (text-colour:"red")[consequences]. She put her earbuds in. She then remembers that she might not want to do this. She could see it in person. (text-colour:"orange")[Phoenix] now has the option to go on and watch the video, or to show her mom this pirated recording of the video. What should she do?

Thanks 4 playing! (text-colour:"orange")[Phoenix's] mother checks her computer history, and sees that she watched something illegal. She loses computer privileges, and when she next gets on the computer, there is a (text-style:"strike")[virus] on it that ultimately (text-colour:"grey")[destroys] the computer. And her mother is not happy…
