Riley's POV
I met Andrew at Topanga's. It's his lunch break.
"Hey, what's up?" I asked him.
"I have some news," he said.
"Good or bad?" I asked.
"Depends on how you react," he said.
"Okay."
"I got a promotion offer," he said.
"Really?!" I asked, happily. He nodded. "What kind of promotion?"
"My boss started a restaurant, and wants me to take it over," he said.
"That's great!" I said. "How does that depend on my reaction? That's your dream! I support you."
"It's in Pennsylvania," he said.
"Oh," I said. I grabbed his hand. "Like I said, I support you 100%."
"Would you be fine with moving there?" He asked. "Everything you've known is here. This is where you grew up."
"Yeah, but this isn't like what happened with my mom and dad," I said. "We won't be taking Penny away from her friends. We're not moving across the world. We'll be close to Maya and Josh. We'll be fine. I want you to grow, Andrew, I want you to thrive."
"Thank you, Riley," he said. "I love you."
"I love you too," I said.
KC's POV
Richard and I were finishing up a song when my phone started to ring. I looked at my phone.
"It's the president of the record label," I said. I sighed and answered it. "Hello, Mr. Reynolds….Yessir, I understand." I hung up and looked at Richard. "He wants us both in his office, pronto."
"That can't be good," he said.
Josh's POV
I was walking with Christian in the park. He smiled when he saw the slides. I helped him up to the top of the slide. He slid down and smiled as he did. I picked him up and smiled when I saw Maya walking towards us.
"Hey Gorgeous," I said, kissing her. "How was work?"
"It was great, we got the frame done for the first floor," she said. She started building houses for less-fortunate families.
"That's great," I said. "You know Cory and Shawn met here, right?"
"Yes," she said. "Shawn would tell me about their friendship."
She looked down at Christian and smiled. She took his hand that I wasn't holding.
"Zero gravity!" She shouted. We lifted him off the ground. He laughed. Maya and I looked at each other and smiled.
KC's POV
We went into Mr. Reynolds office.
"Please, take a seat," he said.
We both sat down.
"Now, I want to know why you have been abandoning sessions," he said, looking at me. "And haven't been doing the music we told you to."
"I told her to," Richard, admitted.
"I haven't had much time with my family," I said. "I had to make time."
"Not on our time," Mr. Reynolds said. "Richard, you're released from your contract from the label."
"What?!" I asked. "You can't do that!"
"No, KC, it's fine," he said. He got up. " It was a pleasure working with you." He winked at me, which confused me, and left the office.
"As for you, Mrs. Minkus," he said. "Your tour starts tomorrow, you need to have your priorities straight. Your album will be released in a week. We don't have time to change the music now."
"Yessir," I said.
"Get some sleep," he said. "You'll be leaving for New York tomorrow morning."
That night, I was thinking about what happened that day.
Why the heck did Richard wink at me? I racked my brain. Then it hit me. I've only released a couple of singles with the label. Richard and I own the rest of the masters. They can't release music they don't own…but I can. He has them.
No One's POV
Maya, Riley, Lucas, and Shawn's phones dinged. They all checked it. It was a text from KC.
Be ready for a show tomorrow.
KC's POV
I scrolled through my phone to Farkle's name and hit call.
