Hi, so I just realized that threatening works. All I had to do was tell you guys that I'd delete this story if you didn't review, and suddenly I got reviews! Now please, don't make me say it again, okay? I don't want to be a meanie! ;p And yay!; I got my Ashley CD today after waiting forever :D

The Waterworks

Chapter 3.

Par-tay!

"Oh God, this is so exciting!" Carey said, clapping her hands together in a way that could almost remind you of London, "I cant believe it! You guys are playing for the first time in the radio! Do you have any idea of how big this is?"

"I know!" Maddie said, padding her own back, "Good work, Maddie." She looked at Carey, "I just thought I deserved it."

"You did," Carey smiled, "Let me pad you?"

"I don't want to interrupt your crazy little mind games," Cody began, "But could you be quiet? It's starting soon!"

Maddie and Carey nodded and sat down in the sofa along with everyone else. The band, London, Esteban, Carey, Mr. Moseby, Zack and Cody were all gathered on the 23rd floor to listen to The Waterworks' break through, and they were all so excited!

Maddie still couldn't get over the fact that all America would be able to hear her sing if they just turned on their radio. It was all a little surreal.

"… and next song coming up is "Kiss the Girl", by a new band who calls themselves The Waterworks. Their single will be released by the end of this week, so stay tuned, because scouts have predicted big things with this band. So, now here they are America; The Waterworks with "Kiss the Girl"!"

The beginning of the song started coming through the speakers, quickly followed by Maddie's voice as she sang the beginning. Maddie got a huge smile on her face, and she almost couldn't control herself. This was so surreal! It was crazy. She was listening to herself.

Wow… She sounded pretty good.

As the song ended, Carey and Maddie jumped into the air and started screaming their lungs out. They hugged each other and danced around the suite.

"That was amazing!" Mark said, and padded Lance's back, "Dude, we totally rocked!"

"Yeah, it was like… cool." Lance agreed.

"I cant believe that it was actually our song coming from the radio." Lars said, "And Maddie sounded amazing. It's unbelievable."

"That what?" Maddie asked, hugging Mark, "That is sounded amazing? I always do."

"You know what I meant, Maddie!" Lars laughed, getting a hug from her too.

"Yeah, I did." Maddie smiled.

"When do you think Mr. Stevens will know if we can sign a record deal?" Warren asked, being the most serious of them.

Mark shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know. He probably knows something already tomorrow, but… We'll see."

Maddie looked at her cell as it started ranging. She dropped her jaw, as she realized that it was Mr. Stevens, "Guys!" she said, "It's him. Shush!!" she picked up her phone a placed it against her left ear, "Yeah?"

"Great news!" Mr. Stevens said, "The radio liked the responding, and we got a few offers from some sponsors who wants to do a music video! And if we do this, after we can get down to business with that record deal? What do you say?"

"Uhm," Maddie smiled, "I think I speak for the whole band when I say; YES, YES, YES! When can we start shooting?"

"I'll step by tomorrow and make the final arrangements!" Mr. Stevens laughed, he was glad that the band was happy with everything. He had a feeling that he could make a lot of money on them. If he pulled the right strings.

"Thank you," Maddie replied, closing her cell phone. She turned to the guys, "Guys…? We're doing a music video!?"

"For real?" Lance asked, as the other guy's faces lit up.

"Yup!" Maddie smiled, "I don't know about dancers and all that stuff, but Mr. Stevens is coming by tomorrow… This is so awesome guys."

"Maddie?" Zack asked, "Maddie, can Cody and I be in it, please? Just a little… We could dance, or…"

Maddie smiled, "I'll talk to Mr. Stevens about it, Zack. See what I can do, kiddo."

Zack looked bummed and moved into his room, to be mad about the fact that Maddie – the love of his life – just called him kiddo. Why couldn't she realize that he was a mature grown man?

"I really hope all this ends good." Mark said, "Man, we can get a lot of success if we want to."

"Let's not get too carried away," Maddie said, "I know it's awesome, our single is coming out soon, but really… We shouldn't get our hopes up. This is a serious business, right Carey?"

"It sure is, Maddie," Carey replied, "But that still doesn't mean you shouldn't enjoy it while it happens. And so what if your first album isn't received well, you still made one. You still had fun. And that's important, to enjoy what you're doing. Music comes from the heart."

"Isn't that cooking?" Cody asked.

"Yeah, that, but music too." Carey said, "Seriously Maddie; you guys should be proud of yourself. Maybe you should all hit town tonight and have some fun? Just relax for a bit, before Mr. Stevens comes tomorrow."

Maddie turned to look at the guys, "What do ya' say?" she asked.

Mark got a huge smile on his face, "I say par-tay!!"

The boys started dancing around the suite, and Maddie turned to London, "You coming too, London?"

"A chance to get a hot guy, or alone in my suite?" London said, "I say a chance to get a hot guy. Yay me!" she clapped her hands together, "Oh, I have to get ready. Maybe I should go shopping…" and with those words she hurried out of the suite.

­--

The room was bursting with loud music, as the band and London made their way through people to find a place to sit.

They finally found a boot and sat down. They ordered some soda, and started sipping their drinks.

"This is boring!" Mark said. He turned to Maddie and flashed her a small smile, "Care to dance, ms. Fitzpatrick?"

"You finally asked me!" Maddie exclaimed, placing her soda on the table. She stood up and grabbed Mark's hand, and they made their way to the dance floor. A slow song started playing and they swayed gently to the music.

"Can you believe everything that's happening right now?" Mark whispered.

"No," Maddie said, "When I was at home getting ready for tonight, it finally occurred to me… we're like, a band now… Our single is coming out this week, and… we're shooting a video soon. Everything is gonna change, right!?"

"Sure it is." Mark said, "But I think we're cut out for it, we're ready. And you're gonna do fine Maddie, you're talented and beautiful, people will love you."

"You too!" Maddie said, "You're an amazing musician."

"Thanks, babe." Mark smiled, hugging her tight.

The song slowly faded and the DJ grabbed the microphone, "Guys! By special request from one of our guests; we're now gonna hear the newbie band The Waterworks, and guess what? They live right here in Boston! Here is their single; ´Kiss the Girl´!"

There you see her
Sitting there across the way
She don't got a lot to say
But there's something about her
And you don't know why
But you're dying to try
You wanna kiss the girl

Maddie couldn't help but let out a smile, and started to sing along. Mark grabbed her hand tighter and swung her around. She was spinning, and her skirt was flying around along with her golden locks. She giggled as the song continued.

Yes, you want her
Look at her, you know you do
It's possible she wants you, too
There is one way to ask her
It don't take a word
Not a single word
Go on and kiss the girl

The rest of the gang moved onto the dance floor too, and they all danced around together, enjoying the night…

As the song ended, they stumbled to their table, laughing like crazy.

Go on and kiss the girl

"So, the director thought it'd be good enough, if we had you in a fancy dress at some sort of party, and one of the guys from the band could be the boy in the story? What do you say?" Mr. Stevens suggested.

(A/N – if you've seen Ashley Tisdale's video for ´Kiss the Girl´ just imagine it a lot like that.)

"Yeah, that'd be great, but what about the rest of the band?" Maddie said, "They'd like to be acknowledged too?"

"Yeah, we thought about that… London is gonna be the girl there's with you at the party. And once in awhile we'll cut from the party to a ballroom where it's just you and the band performing the song. That way they'll all be in it."

"I see," Maddie smiled, "It sounds really, really great… Uhm… When are we gonna shoot it then?"

"As soon as possible." Mr. Stevens mumbled, "We have gotten calls about you guys. People like your voice, Maddie, I told you it'd do great. You have an amazing voice. They want you on ´Good morning America´, and yeah… We figured we could do that when the video is ready, and that way make it show."

"That sounds good." Maddie smiled, "Are we gonna get a new wardrobe then?"

"Sure, anything that fits the lady. We'll have to figure out the style for the band, right?"

"Yup." Maddie smiled.

"Then it's settled." Mr. Stevens smiled, "We start shooting this Monday. Three days after the single is out."

Yup, end of chapter 3. I'll be back as soon as possible though, and remember to review me again, okay? Because they keep me writing. Please, I'll love you forever. Thanks, Stessa x3
