In Atlantic City, bands were gathering around on the beach, for the Atlantic City Music Festival. Emoji was one of the gigs there. Michael, Emma, Donna, Aiden, Caleb, Payton, and Sydney were there as their crew. Sydney and Payton did the fashion and makeup, Caleb and Michael were the roadies, Aiden was the backup violinist/keyboardist/ organizer, Emma was promoting free Emoji shirts to the crowd, and Donna was choreographing Abby's moves.
"Okay now" Helen shouted, "I'm going to film our request from Cousin Starr."
"What's that?" Emma asked.
I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) by Whitney Houston" Helen answered.
"That's a classic" Nora smiled. "A good way to bring back disco."
"Also" Abby smiled, "These outfits that Donna and Payton designed for the show were brilliant."
"It's amazing what leftover fabrics and blowout disco accessories can do," Donna replied.
"And they were all 25 cents each" Payton finished
"After them, I get to perform" Rocket smiled as he held out his discs.
"You're not in the show Rocket" Donna reminded, "Plus no one wants a show with anvils falling from the sky."
"Fine!" Rocket groaned, "I'll just wait by the van."
"And don't make us catch you playing with Nick's soccer ball again!" shouted Red.
Clock strikes upon the hour
And the sun begins to fade
Still enough time to figure out
How to chase my blues away
I've done alright up to now
It's the light of day that shows me how
And when the night falls, loneliness calls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
I've been in love and lost my senses
Spinning through the town
Sooner or later, the fever ends
And I wind up feeling down
I need a man who'll take a chance
On a love that burns hot enough to last
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
Oh, I wanna dance with somebody
I wanna feel the heat with somebody
Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
With somebody who loves me
After the show, Donna and friends visited Garden Heights, a small but poor area of Atlantic City. At a suburban home, they were greeted by a black girl with brown braids, "Starr"
"Aech, Bram" shouted Starr.
"She's actually our second cousin twice removed," Helen explained.
Nick found a picture of a black guy, "Who's this guy?" Nick asked.
"That's my best friend, "Khalil Thomas" Starr explained as she shed a tear.
"What's wrong?" Donna asked.
"Last week," Starr explained, "There was a crazy party here. Khalil was driving me home when a police officer stopped up. Khalil checked inside his car to check on me and picks up a brush. Thinking it was a gun, the officer shot and killed him."
"I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding," Donna explained.
"It was" Starr replied, "Now I'm being put on trial."
