Hey guys! sorry it's been a while I've been busy with school.

Zira put on her leather jacket over a red dress. Addison came into her room "who's excited for tonight?" "it's just a performance at a coffee shop it's not like I won an award or saved Seabrook from certain doom like you guys have" Zira said "I konw. I'm just proud of you" Addison said taking her hands and looking at her. "thanks mom"

Addison pulled her into a hug Zira closed her eyes and hugged her tightly. "we're both proud of you" Zed said coming in the room. "Everyone is so excited to see you perform Bonzo and Bree are coming, Eliza, Aunt Zoey and Pops"

"your going to be so great tonight" Zed said smiling "who's the Zombie?" Zira rolled her eyes and smiled "i'm the Zombie"

"I konw you can say it louder then that" Zed teased "I'm the Zombie!" Zira shouted smiling "yeah you are!" Zed said hugging her "have a great day at school"

Zira headed into the Zombie safe room during lunch. "Willow?" Willow stepped out of the shadows of the room. "yeah i'm here"

"are you ok? you haven't talked to me all day" Zira asked "well it's my birthday in a few days" Willow said "Really? that's amazing!" Zira smiled but Willow just stared at her.

"what's wrong?" Zira asked "it's nothing just school and stuff. I came out a few days ago"

"to your parents?"

"yeah"

"well how did it go?" Zira asked

"really well actually they both didn't really have a problem with it, at all. That kind of surprised me." Willow said "they said there both proud of me"

"that's really great" Zira said "I didn't tell them you were a Zombie" Willow said "I guess we can just cross that when we come to it" Zira said

"yeah" "hey if your not busy" Zira pulled out a piece of paper "i'm having a little gig at a coffee shop if you want to come by. My parents are going to be there so.."

"stay hidden?" "blend in" Zira said Willow smirked "I can do that"

Later that night Zira was sitting in the coffee shop on a chair with her gaiter by the door were people came in her family and family friends were sitting in the front at two tables. There was a few other people as well.

"ok so to close the night- the door opened and Willow came in and sat towards the back. No one saw her come in thank goodness. "I am going to sing one of my songs that I wrote a few weeks ago for a very amazing person and if your sitting out there tonight you konw who you are. So if it sucks please let me konw" Zira took a deep breath and started to sing.

"You know how I get when the sun goes down

How it feels when no one's around
I know, I know-oh-oh-oh
I know, I know-oh-oh
I get kind of lost and I can't see straight
Hate it but it's just what we take
I know, I know-oh-oh-oh
I know, I know-oh-oh

I've been bitten by the lonely
But when I'm not the only
When I'm, when I'm not the only
One who feels it, maybe it's sick to say
But it helps that you feel the same
I know, I know-oh-oh
When the lights go out

We're glowing in the dark
We started from a spark
We're lights that never go out
Like we've never been down
Glowing in the dark
We'll light up Central Park
We're lights that never go out
'Cause you're here with me now
Dark days but it's alright
So fine, every night
Oh-oh, whoa
Glowing in the dark
We started from a spark
We're lights that never go out
Like we've never been down
Glowing in the dark

Doin' 2 AM, way above the clouds
Rooftop, yeah, we're just hanging out
I know, I know-oh-oh-oh
I know, I know-oh-oh
Now we're looking down like we got no fear
We got dreams and they start right here
I know, I know-oh-oh-oh
I know, I know-oh-oh

We get bitten by the lonely
But we're not the only
Yeah we're, yeah we're not the only

Once you know the way to get through the night
Is to bring on a little bright
I know, I know-oh-oh
When the lights go out

We're glowing in the dark
We started from a spark
We're lights that never go out
Like we've never been down
Glowing in the dark
We'll light up Central Park
We're lights that never go out
'Cause you're here with me now
Dark days but it's alright
So fine, every night
Oh-oh, whoa
Glowing in the dark
We started from a spark
We're lights that never go out
Like we've never been down
Glowing in the dark

When I'm bitten by the lonely
You can get to know me
I know, I know-oh-oh

We're glowing in the dark
We started from a spark
We're lights that never go out
Like we've never been down
Glowing in the dark
We'll light up Central Park
We're lights that never go out
'Cause you're here with me now
Dark days but it's alright
So fine, every night
Glowing in the dark
We started from a spark
We're lights that never go out
Like we've never been down
Glowing in the dark"

the song ended everybody clapped. Zira went to see her family that had come. Later everyone was talking and Zira was packing up her guitar case. Zira saw Willow outside and went out for few minutes. "hey!" Zira said "you came, did you like it?" "like it? I loved it!" Zira smiled looking into her silver eyes. "I think I love you"

Zira's eye's went wide. "oh my- that was too soon wasn't it?" Willow said nothing but leaned into her for a kiss putting her hands on her face. Zira kissed her back they slowly pulled away "I love you too"
