Were Back!
Lauren's P.O.V.:
Already life in Brooklyn has changed from just the last few months. Hey it's me Lauren. You guys didn't think my story was over did you? Well the good news is, its not. But let's do a quick recap shall we? Over the summer, Keith Watson our new friend moved into the neighborhood with his dad Leo and opened the Electric Diner, became a part of the Electric Company with the special skill of drawing pictures. Now, he is planning to convert to the Catholic faith this spring and I couldn't be more excited. But, I have yet to figure out whom I'm going to be in life which is my destiny for sure. Yet any day like today would be filled with excitement for this year as Sean and I met up talking.
"You know Sean, I can't believe were already in 2010. It seems time just flown by like crazy," I told him. "Yes it sure does Lauren, keep in mind a lot of things have changed," he added. "Yeah but nothing like friends to help," I smiled. "Hey guys," a voice sounded. We turned around to see Danny Rebus approaching us. Sean and I are secretly friends with him and Hector, my big brother almost spotted us talking once before last year. Yeah it wasn't pretty.
"Oh hey Danny didn't see you there. What's up," Sean asked. "Nothing much. Getting excited for this year. What about you guys," he answered. "Same. I'm just excited since Keith's cousin is in town," I told him. "Keith has a cousin," Danny asked confused. "Yep. Hard to believe I know," Sean replied. "Yeah. Well, all I can say this year will be great," Danny smiled. "Yes sir. It will be besides, everyone should know something and I think an announcement is coming," Sean said with a smile. "You bet it will but Sean what's the announcement," I asked my friend. "Well the announcement is tell everyon," he started to say before a yell of hey you guys rung across the place. "Then again, has to hold for a little bit," he said to me. "Yeah it does," Danny and I said together as Sean and I ran one way while Danny left for the other.
(At the Diner)
Hector's P.O.V.:
"Burr. Even still now it is chilly and freezing Jess. I could go for a warm bath anytime soon," I said shivering a little bit in my winter jacket. "You got that right Hector. Besides, I can't believe this year will be awesome," Jess added drinking hot chocolate. "Yes indeed sis, but I'm concerned about Lauren," I told my sister. "What do you mean," she asked. "Well, I read the book of the prophecy last night and it said that towards the end of this year she will meet the other descendants. This is a big year for her and us," I admitted.
"Yeah besides, everything will be fine Hector. I assure you that. What's the worst that can happen," Jess told me as Lauren and Sean came in. "Hey we got the call what's up," Sean asked. "I didn't call the gang together. Did you Jess," I asked my sister. "No. Did you Shock," she asked Shock behind the counter. "No. Leo," he asked. "No. Mario," he asked. "No I didn't," he said.
Sean's P.O.V.:
"Well, if you guys didn't call for the gang, who did," I asked confused. "I did," Keith's voice sounded in the doorway with PJ, his cousin in toe. "You called Keith," we asked. "Yeah. We have to have our video meeting today remember," he announced. "Dang it," I cursed.
Lauren's P.O.V.:
"Can't believe we forgot. Sorry dude," I apologized. "No need. So since we are here, meeting time," Sean announced. "Yep. So good news gang I spoke with Ms. Rosa and we got the building roof all set for June 13th," I announced. "Perfect, alright," they smiled. "Song is ready for final approval Lauren so when we are ready we can listen to it," Mario updated. "Great. Now Lisa, has anyone replied to be extras," I asked. "Few in town have signed up and are interested. We still need more," she told us. "Okay, we will get that straight away. I'll send out a mass text. Now, let's hear the song," I cheered. Shock and Mario got the CD out with the song and were looking for a radio.
"Uh anyone have a boombox around here," Shock asked. I shook my head no and so did the others. "Dad, do you have a boombox around here in the diner," Keith asked. "I thought you and PJ were bringing it over," Leo replied. "Well we were Uncle Leo then the next minute we knew it was gone," PJ told him. "GONE," we said in unison. "Yeah strangest thing. We had it on our hands on the way here and somehow we looked in a store window then it was gone," Keith told us. "All we found was this note with a phone number," PJ said getting it out of his jacket. "Hmm. Odd one to me. Hector, want to call the number," I asked my brother.
"Sure thing," Hector said dialing the number and placing it on speaker. "Hello Annie speaking," a voice sounded on the other line. "Annie, I bet you have an explanation for stealing our boom box," Hector told her. "Oh I didn't take the boom box from you guys. Francine did," she told us. "Why would she do that when you left a note with a phone number that is yours," I asked. "Oh about that. Francine asked me for help with it because she has a gift, she wants to give to Hector," she explained. "HIM," we asked. "Yep. She asked me to tell you guys that she wants to see you guys in front of her apartment where she has the boom box. Got to go," she told us before hanging up.
"That's bizarre," Keith said scratching his head. "Yeah looks to be that way. I thought it was Manny taking it but Francine. Something seems fishy," I admitted. "True that best friend, let's see if we can figure this out and what the gift is," Hector said standing up. "What are we waiting for, let's get that boombox," Sean said standing up. "Let's go. We'll be back," we shouted over our shoulders and ran outside the diner into the cold, frigid air again. "I'm telling you one thing guys I am feeling this and let's just say it feels BURR! What does that spell? BURR," Sean shivered.
"Oh come on Sean. You are just one big polar bear who doesn't like have to blubber on over that fur," I teased. "Keep going Lauren or I can throw a snowball," Sean said making one behind his back. "Oh don't you get started buddy cause," I started to say and he soon hit me. "Got you," he smiled. The others laughed silently as I looked red in the face. "You little crazy," I started to say picking up snow and began to run after him. Hector soon followed trying to get me down again as I just smiled and got Sean afterwards in a hug. "Well, you win this round," I told him panting. "That I do," he admitted. We soon walked over to Francine's apartment where the bill board stood proud with Hector's face and the message the same from those months ago.
Hector's P.O.V.:
"Well here we are at the steps but where is Francine," I asked. "Good question," the others wondered. I hope she didn't fly away again like the parrot episode. "Well, well, Electric Company thought I saw you guys here. Glad you came," Francine said coming out. "Well yeah I believe you have something that belongs to us," Jess asked. "Oh the boombox of course. Thanks for letting me borrow it without your friend and cousin looking," she told us. "Well, why did you need the boombox when honestly you could have bought one of your own," Lauren asked. "Oh that, I needed it, so I can record a song for Hector," she said to us. "You what," I asked. "Yeah, you mean the world to me and you are so cute," she said to me in a way I didn't like. "So why are you telling me this now," I asked. "Annie gave me a message saying you were coming by," she explained. "Come on Francine. We don't have time for this," I told her.
"Well at least hear the song," she said before turning it on. "Oh Hector, what I would do to love you just as I do? You mean more to me than that of a monkey on a tree. Set yourself free and date me, for I love you. I hope you love me," the recording played back as we covered our ears.
Lauren's P.O.V.:
"Okay, can we just admit that is lame," Hector asked out loud. "Yeah," we agreed. "Come on. I worked hard on it, and I was hoping it would allow Hector to date me because I love him and not Lisa," Francine asked. "You what," we all asked except Hector in unison. "Oh that's it she devil. Besides, I will never date you in a billion years ever since that bill board scenario all that time ago. I think you are doing these pranks to get my attention," Hector admitted it. "Bravo, big boy you figured it out. Took you a while but that doesn't stop me from flirting," she said trying to reach him for a kiss. "FRANCINE ANTIQUINE CARRATHUERS," a voice yelled out and she turned to see her mother.
"Mother," she gasped. "What did I tell you about trying to flirt with bill board boy," she asked coming down the steps. "Actually it's Hector," I started to say. "Bill board boy, for now okay," she whispered. "Yes sorry," I told her. "You didn't want me too because I am grounded," she muttered. "I thought you learned your lesson by now and I see not. From now on, you are grounded for a month young lady and no blog for two weeks. Now give them back the boom box," she demanded. "Fine," Francine said unhappy while handing it to us. "Thanks," I smiled and soon they walked back into the building.
"Well that was quick," PJ said surprised. "Sure was. Now that we got it back we can listen to the song finally," Hector admitted. "Yeah but I think it's time for that announcement I was saying earlier," Sean told us stepping out in front. "Which is," I told Sean coming forward as well and hearing pop music go throughout the court and the park.

End song
Lauren's P.O.V.:
We sung it as we made it to the diner happy this mission was complete. I'm telling you a whole lot of pressure but paid off. "Well I think we can agree things are back to normal. For a little bit at least," I told the others. "Sure is sis. Now, get that song on cause I want to hear it," Hector cheered. "Yeah go on Shock play it," the others agreed. "Okay, okay I'm getting it in. Geez, you guys are pushy," he told us. "We are not," Sean denied. "Liars," Mario said to us. "Stood corrected," I told Sean. Shock and Mario placed the CD into the boom box and hit the play button. After a few seconds it came one and I must admit I was impressed. Hector smiled and so did Jess giving her a fist bump as they mouthed the song.
I smiled and so did the others as it played. "Alright," I cheered afterwards and so did everyone else. "Nice, that's awesome," Sean agreed. "So guys what do you think," Mario asked. A few seconds went by as I looked at the others with a smile. "Set for the video," I cheered. Everyone smiled and soon high-fives one another knowing this was perfect. "Now that will be great for the music video," Sean told me. "Indeed now, about our song were back. I think it calls for a music video. What do you guys say," I asked the others. "Were in," they agreed. "What are we waiting for Laur, tell everyone were back now hey," Mario started to sing as I got out my camcorder singing the song and dancing around the neighborhood shooting the video.
(In LA)
Logan's P.O.V.:
The guys and I were getting set for our demos to be decided this week and I was nervous thinking if they weren't pick we had to go back and our destiny wouldn't be fulfilled. I wasn't sure what to think as I looked out the window clutching my pendant gently around my neck. "Thinking about if our demos don't get picked," James asked coming over. "Yeah. We came close this far and I don't want to leave where I'm meant to be," I told my friend.
"I know. This is big for us Logan, I hope we stay besides, I love making music with you guys. Your my friends but my brothers and family. We stay with each other," Kendall said coming over. "Through it all," I asked. "Through it all," Carlos replied. "DOGS, LET'S GO. WE GOT DEMOS TO GET DONE AND NOT GOING TO FINISH THEMSELVES," Gustavo called out. "COMING," we yelled back making our way over to the recording booth as I touched the pendant. "One day, I will meet you," I whispered walking back.
Well folks, here it is the Electric Company Lauren's story season 2 premiere! I know you thought it was the last one when really its this one. I felt bad the show didn't have a proper season opening so I figured, why not make one and here we go. Thanks for hanging in there guys and I will get more updates out soon. Still, have to give credit to Jason Derulo for In my Head as the Electric Company anthem! I love it! Hope to see you guys in the next chapter!
