Just One Wish

Just one wish is about Anika Truman, who travels to Hollywood to find Steve Raleigh, a popular young actor, star of the Teen Robinhood series. Anika wants to convince Steve to accompany her back to her home to visit her sick younger brother who has cancer and wants to see the teen robin Hood before he has surgery. Those are the circumstances in a nut shell but it's actually a little more complicated. Anika convinces her brother that he has a magic genie and gets three wishes only if he uses the last one to wish himself better. He uses the first one on an action figure and the second one is to meet the Teen Robinhood. Anika is a strong-willed and pretty girl who is used to getting her way or making things happen. She and her friend sneak on set and reak havok upon the set. Theyr'e eventualy caught and her friend is sent home while she is kept for questioning. To avoid capture or any possible police involvement she plots a daring escape from Raleigh's trailer (where she is being held captive) Steve and everyone chase her around for awhile until they agree not to call the police. Once she explains herself and her reasons to them Steve offers to make a charitable donation but is too busy to visit her brother. Anika challenges the Teen Robinhood to an archery contest if she wins he has to come with her if he does she will leave him alone, reluctantly he agrees. Anika wins (she is captain of her school archery club) and holds Steve to his word. They share an eventful drive filled with romance, paparazi evasions and broken cars (due to the paparzi evsion tactic used). Steve has to call his estranged family for help where they stay for the night. In the morning Steve say's he has to get back to location and can't visit her brother untill after the surgery (the agreeement was she only had Steve for that day). Anika is forced to go back home empty handed untill Steve shows up much to her surprise(he canceled shooting that day) in full Robinhood get up. He hangs out with Anika's little brother and her family and they share a romantic parting till her brother interupts using his last wish not for himself as was agreed but on everyone else. This off sets Anika but Steve convinces her that it will be ok (they are officially dating by now). The next day after the surgery they find out that the surgery wasn't that successful and her little brother ony has a little while longer to live. Steve shows up at the hospital as priorly arranged and comforts Anika. It was a happy ending with a twist of tragedy. Anika got a hot boyfriend and agrees to make her little brother enjoy his last days.
