A/N: HI GUYS! I know, I know, I am so incredibly sorry for taking so long, but school has been really hard lately and I haven't got much time to write. I promise I will try to update sooner next time! Anyway, thanks for all the reviews and kind words, here's chapter 10!

Chapter 10

"Lauren, do you really need all of this stuff?" complained Brian.

They were stuffing everything Lauren owned in boxes, which turned out to be harder than he thought.

"Stop complaining and just do it!" said Julia. After Brian cried to her for help, she was also packing Lauren's stuff.

"Lo, I am really going to miss you, you know?" said Julia, dropping the box in the corner of the room, and hugging Lauren.

"Hey hey hey, don't stop packing or this will never be over!" Brian screamed, only half kidding.

"We're having a moment here, okay?" screamed Lauren back. "And don't worry Juls, I'm coming to visit you every day and I'll call and you can also visit me! Nothing will be different!"

"That's not true Lo! You'll spend all of your time with Brian and doing god knows what, and you'll forget about me!"

"That is impossible Juls!"

"And I would never let that happen! And like Lauren said, you are welcome to come over and stay every time you want to!" assured Brian.

"Thanks Brian. And you take care of her, you hear me? Don't let her watch Bambi before going to sleep or she will cry and annoy you all night. And she doesn't like the strawberries from the supermarket, you have to get them from Mr. Clark's store. And also…"

"Julia, I am not a child!" Lauren complained.

"What's wrong with the supermarket strawberries?" Brian joked.

"They taste like plastic!" answered Julia and Lauren at the same time. The three of them laughed and the girls hugged again.

"I love you Lolo."

"And I love you mama Juls!" Lauren smiled.

"So, are we all packed up or not?" asked Brian.

"Yeah, I think so, I just have to finish this one. If anything is missing, Julia can give it to me, right?" Lauren asked, and Julia instantly nodded.

"Great. I am going to tell the boys they can come now and help." said Brian, taking his phone from his pocket and leaving the room.

"So, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Do what?"

"Living with Brian?" Julia asked as she closed the last box.

"I think so. It's weird though, living with my boyfriend. It sounds weird."

"I doesn't sound weird. It sounds great and exciting!"

"I don't know… I mean, I know I love him but moving in is weird."

"Lo, you are just scared. Brian loves you more than anyone in this world and you are great together. I mean, after all that mess with Joe, he is still with you and he asked you to move in. He obviously wants you in his life, you don't need to be afraid."

"I hope so. Thanks Juls."

"You're welcome!"

"Joe and the Langs are here!" Brian said entering the room.

Moving all of the boxes in Joe's car didn't take as long as they thought it would, so in no time they were dropping all of the stuff at Brian's. After every box was parked in the living room, they all left for rehearsal. Because they had some extra time, Brian bought everyone lunch, as a 'thank you for helping'. They ate on their way to the studio, and when they got there, everyone was ready to practice. There were only 5 days left to the show, and they felt like they weren't nearly as ready as they were for the other shows they've done. Maybe it was because it was the first original they were doing. Maybe it was because it had been cancelled and moved around so many times. Maybe it was nothing. They just had to relax and do what they do best, and love.

The following 5 days were filled with preparations for Starship, exhaustive rehearsals and costume fittings. They just couldn't wait to do the show and see what the fans think about it.

"Has anyone seen my costume?"

"No, but have you seen my shoes?"

"Where is my bug?"

The backstage was filled with questions that no one knew the answer to. The Starkids were walking around in a hurry, as they felt completely lost. That was the magic of doing a live musical. And boy, did Darren miss it. He was back from LA to visit his friends, and to wish them good luck with their new show! He was around for 5 minutes, but as everyone was so busy and distracted, no one realized he was there with his goofy smile.

"Darren, have you seen a black… Oh my god Darren! You're here!" Jamie screamed as she jumped to his arms.

"Yeah, I decided to come and see the show on its first day, but it looks like it isn't a good time for you guys!"

"Non sense, it's always a good time for you to visit!" Lauren joined. It wasn't long until every single Starkid was now excited to see Darren.

"Guys, guys, yeah Darren is here, and that's great, but we need to hurry up, the show has to be on in 5 minutes!" complained Nick. That five minute warning was enough to get everyone on their way, getting ready for the show.

"Is there anything I could do?" Darren asked.

"Yeah, actually I wouldn't mind if you helped me out with this song." Joe Walker said.

"Sure bro, do you have a guitar I can use? I left mine back at home." answered Darren, taking his jacket off.

Joe nodded and walked Darren to the instruments spot. Darren grabbed Clark's guitar and sat on a chair. Joe was having trouble hitting his notes in "Get Back Up", but with Darren's help it wasn't long until he sang them perfectly.

"There you go dude. Just try to focus more on the singing and less on the accent. It will be fine." Darren said, getting up and setting the guitar against the wall.

"Thanks dude. Oh, look, the show started."

"Oh Joe, shouldn't you be getting ready or something?" Darren asked, worried.

"I am getting ready. And no, I won't be on stage for a while."

"Oh, great. I'm really proud of you guys. You did it again! The show, everything, it's amazing!"

"Look who's talking, mister 'look at me, I'm on Glee!'" Joe said punching him in the arm.

"Yeah, I guess we are all doing pretty good." he said smiling.

"Hey, where are you staying?"

"I don't know yet, I was going to ask Brian to crash on his couch."

"Hm, I don't know if that's a good idea…"

"What, why not? Is he mad or…?" Darren asked.

"No, no, it's not that." assured Joe, with a small smile on his face. "It's just that Brian's house is now Lauren's house too."

"What? When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I forgot to tell you, I guess, I'm sorry. Anyway, you can stay with me if you want!"

"Yeah yeah, thanks dude."

"It's nothing. But seriously, I thought you knew they were together!"

"I knew, but still. That's…"

"That's what?"

"I don't know. Don't you think it's weird?"

"No, I mean, they like each other, so…"

"Yeah, I know that, but aren't they too young for this? Living together?"

"Dude, they are 25. If they want to start a life together, I guess they should start now. Jesus, what got into you?"

"Nothing, it's just… Brian and Lauren. It's weird."

"Joe, what are you doing, you should be side stage in 5 seconds!" Joey screamed.

"God, thanks dude. We'll talk later okay Darren?"

"Yeah sure, break a leg!"

Joe went running to the stage and left Darren thinking. What was he doing? Lauren and Brian deserve to be together, they love each other, why was he acting like this? He loved Lauren as a little sister and sometimes things like this upset him, but that was no reason to act like that. He just had to enjoy the amazing show his friends put together and talk with Lauren when he got the chance. Yes, that was the right thing to do. Or was it?

A/N: Sorry again for taking so long and please review :D
