Fifteen minutes later changing clothes the holograms join Richard and Soo-Mi outside. Instantly Richard asks where Jem is, "Oh Jem had to make a phone call but she'll be out in a few minutes," replies Aja. "Alright the holograms each wearing a concert outfit gets on top of the platform. Aja wearing a pink studded pants outfit; Kimber her rockin' roses outfit; Raya a green and fuchsia pants ensemble; and last but not least Shana wearing a gold star studded fashion. However as they get set with their equipment Riot and Jerrica are alone in the locker room. He watches her fix her white belt of her mini dress.
"I do believe I like this dress Jerrica it suits you perfectly especially how it shows off you legs," he adds pulling her close. "Rory please, I have to join the others." He then turns Jerrica kissing her. A few minutes pass before he pulls back. "I have to be honest my lovely I am somewhat concerned I remember what you told the last time you did this that you almost drown. Please be careful, if not for yourself do it for me." "I will just as not as long the misfits don't try to crash the scene." She then changes into Jem wearing a blue pantsuit with gold fringe joins her friends. Riot is soon to follow he then sees Rio who to looked a bit worried. Jem then gets on top with her friends Richard then starts to take pictures of them. Each shot showing a different pose of the five women. However as Richard gets his telephoto lens out and puts it on the camera Clash and Torch appear. She then sneaks up grabbing the camera forcing Rio and Richard to go after her meanwhile Torch is shaking the metal platform where Jem and her friends that are standing on. Immediately Soo-mi and Riot go to stop him when Robin a trainer at the Aquarium comes out. She had come so she could call the Orcas because of what with the first rock fashion book the Aquarium it would be safer to do the Orcas first and then the dolphins. Nevertheless this is a problem the metal platform begins to shake and by the time Riot is able to remove Torch from it Jem and the holograms fall head first into the pool; but that wasn't the worst part because they were so high the impact stuns them.
By now Richard and Rio have returned although unsuccessful in stopping Clash they join Jerrica's boyfriend who by now has dived into the pool. Richard and Riot not wanting to take any more chances join him. By now Robin has removed the Orcas from the scene with her whistle. A few minutes pass as Richard and Rio get each hologram out of the water but as each hologram is brought up neither one sees Jem. Riot to who had not yet Jem had now surfaced with Raya. He is asked by Rio if he had seen Jem. "No, sorry all I could see was Kimber and Aja." "Yeah and I only saw Shana," adds Richard.
Frustrated by this outburst Riot dives back in he searches frantically the two men were probably too overwhelmed and Rio for the most part forgot Jem now had changed from Jem to Jerrica. "Where are you?" he asks himself. Suddenly he sees her it seemed Jerrica had gotten her foot caught while trying to get away from an orca.
He rushes over and after quickly moving it rushes her to the surface. "Rory!" she then coughs up water. "Richard, he might see me as Jerrica." "Ssh now darling you let me worry about that," however in the back of his mind Riot is shocked his girlfriend had nearly drown and all she cared about was her being exposed. This had to end. Rio then arrives with a towel. "Keep him and Soo-mi distracted Pacheco I want to get Jerrica inside the locker room." Rio nods as he hands Riot the blanket he then wraps Jerrica in it while Rio asks Soo-mi and Richard to help him with the holograms; and as the two are kept occupied by the holograms needing blankets Riot carries his girlfriend inside. He then helps her get out of the wet clothes and into his jacket. "I will tell Richard that Jem was ok she just wanted to return to the mansion and into some dry fresh clothes." She nods. Then after getting her settled in the limo Riot sees the holograms in the locker room. "After you go home and change meet me at Starlight Music later this afternoon we need to talk. This fear of exposure is getting far, far too dangerous and something has to be done about It." he then turns leaving the holograms to wonder what he meant about that statement. Riot then joins his girlfriend in the limo and after taking a warm shower and changing into some warm clothes Jerrica sees Riot waiting for her. He looked very flustered too. Taking her hands in his Riot caresses her cheek.
"I almost lost you today Jerrica and that worries me. You were so worried about being exposed you almost drown." "Yes but I didn't Rory you know that." "Yes but darling don't you see this fear of exposure is forcing you to take to many chances; something must be done." This gets Jerrica to pull away from him. "Rory what are you saying?" she asks him. Yes there were more than a few times she was nearly exposed but what can she do about it. By now she just accepted it as part of the life that she led. Jerrica then turns away even though she had accepted it memories of how close the misfits of nearly exposing her terrified her. She wraps her arms around her waist. Seeing that she was distressed Riot pulls her back against him. "Easy my love I won't let them hurt you; I will never let you go through it and if it does happen I will be by your side no matter what. You will always have me here to protect you." he then rubs her arms over and over. "It'll be ok we just need to make some adjustments to protect you. You must believe that." "I know Rory but what can I do?" "We'll figure out something," he then checks his watch the holograms would have to be back by now. Then after a little bit of coaxing that nothing was going to happen the two get in his limo and drive to Starlight Music where Rio; and the holograms are waiting.
They listen as he expresses his concerns for his girlfriend's safety. That they were taking to many chances with her fearing of her being exposed. "She could have drown today; it has to stop." The group looks at another finally Kimber speaks. "Well I have an idea: why not have Jerrica dye her hair pink that'll solve the problem." This gets the rest of the Holograms to glare at her as if she was nuts. "Kimber that's crazy you can't expect Jerrica to give up who she is," replies Shana. "Oh but everyone loves Jem; my sister knows that and besides it's her fault she is popular this way," she adds glaring at her sister. Jerrica turns facing her sister, "Kimber please let's not start that; I know that you already like me as Jem already but I'm not going to give up my own identity just to please you." "Yes but…" "But nothing," snaps Riot as he leans over the table. "Out of everyone here I think you have no right telling your sister what to do. Between what you said in your diary; not to mention the fact that you have been using your sister you my dear are really out of line." "Yeah I agree Kimber," replied Rio as he took a seat. "Yes but look how she treated you," whined Kimber. "Oh yeah, well look how I treated Jerrica!" Rio snapped back. They then start arguing." After a couple minutes Jerrica gets up her eyes filled with tears. "Enough! I have had it with Jem this and Jem that what about my feelings! I wish I never created Jem in the first place; because of me everything; everyone has gotten messed up. I ruined my relationship with Rio; and now my own sister wishes part of me didn't exist. I'm sure if dad was alive he would probably disown me!" she then turns getting up from her chair. Her arms wrapped around her side. Seeing this Riot comes over and pulls her into his arms. "Nonsense if it had not been for your creation I would never have met you." he then rocks her in his arms and as he does Riot glares at Rio and Kimber who now feel foolish for having the argument that they had. "He's right Jerrica I'm sure your father would have understood," said Shana as she got up going over to her friend. "We'll figure out something I'm sure of it," she said rubbing her friend on the arm. "Yes but what?" "I don't know but we will," said Riot as he lifted her chin. "Trust me on this," he then suggests that they all take a break. Both bands had concerts that night. Actually both groups were performing at the same theatre; Jem first and then the stingers.
A few hours pass and after getting ready for the concert Jem and holograms arrive at Starlight Auditorium. Jem wearing her purple one shoulder mini dress with white ruffles on the bottom; the rest of the holograms wearing their concert clothes that they had worn previously that year; Shana her blue and purple dress. Aja her white and gold vest concert outfit; Kimber her pink and white shirt and skirt outfit; that and of course the pink cape she wore that flowed while she performed; and last but not least Raya who wore a pink and white shapes long sleeve shirt with pink Capri pants. However as the girls get ready to perform unknown to them Clash had arrived at the theatre. She had a plan of becoming the fifth misfit and that was to expose Jem. If she exposed the pink haired bimbo maybe Pizzazz would let her become a misfit. Disguised as her cousin Vivian aka Video the misfit wanna-be was able to get back stage. She wanted to see if she could get on video tape Jem change. Lucky for Clash her Cousin Vivian was out of town on a job; a job that Jem and the Holograms didn't know about. Then after creeping back stage Clash waited for the group to finish their performance and that's when the fake Video got a good look at Riot. She had heard around town and from misfit gossip that Riot was for a while interested in Jem; but now was only interested in Jerrica Benton; Jem's manager. This made Clash suspicious there had to be something more to it. She then waits for the Holograms to leave the dressing room.
"What's he doing here?" she asks herself. "Something was up maybe she could video tape Riot cheating on Jerrica with her Jem!" The fake Video then waited until Riot entered the dressing room and after getting the door ajar watched in shock with the video camera Riot whisper something in Jem's ear. Seconds later a pink light appeared around Jem and in seconds the pink haired beauty changed to Jerrica Benton. Instantly Clash was shocked she couldn't believe Jerrica was Jem! Oh this was perfect now all she had to do was show the misfits;
Clash then turned and ran to leave but as she did she bumped into a page who as trying to get a hold of her so she wouldn't fall grabbed her wig; which came off revealing the purple hair woman's disguise. "Hey aren't you Clash! You work for the misfits!"
"Crap I had better get out of here!" she then pushed past the Paige and ran towards the crowds of fans leaving the auditorium preventing him or anyone else from catching her. Seeing that he had failed the Paige raced back to Jem's dressing room to tell her what happened. By now Jem was Jerrica and Riot was working on removing Jerrica's blue and purple shaped blouse. She moaned in ecstasy as her boyfriend kissed and licked her neck. "This is fun darling isn't it," he whispers huskily in her ear. "Rory we shouldn't be doing this…" her words are muffled by her boyfriend as he kisses her on the lips. He then pushes onto the chair taking off the shirt completely. The blonde singer wanted a little necking time before going on stage with his band. Nevertheless this moment is shattered when they hear the Paige knock loudly on the door. Riot groans, "Yes what is it?" he snaps. "I'm sorry sir, but uh I need to see Jem right away." Jerrica groaned, "Hang on," she then said show time Synergy and changed back to Jem. She then opened the door to see what the Paige wanted.
"I'm sorry Jem but I just caught Clash that Misfit groupie hanging around. I think she had a video camera with her." "I take it you didn't catch her." The Paige lowered his head in guilt. "I'm sorry Jem but she was to fast for me." "It's ok I'm sure there was no harm done." She then closes the door. "Oh this is terrible Rory what am I going to?" "Well first we're not going to panic. After you change back to Jerrica go and meet my driver; then return to my suite I will call Denise after the stingers finish up. have her come up with a press release just in case Clash reveals your secret and no matter what happens I will be by your side." He then kisses her one last time. Riot then escorts his girlfriend now Jerrica Benton to his limo and after making sure his love was on his way to his suite Riot calls over Rio. "I want you to call up Denise my company promoter and ask her to setup a press release for tomorrow." "Uh oh did something happen?" "Yes Clash may have discovered Jem's identity and if Jerrica is to be exposed I want her ass covered just in case." "Got cha," responds Rio. He then after going to the phone calls up Denise to tell her what happened. Although she wasn't surprised this would eventually happen Denise was actually relived. It meant now maybe Jerrica could perform as herself and they wouldn't have to worry about this whole idiotic exposure conspiracy the misfits had concocted to gain Jem's identity.
