Author's Note: Okay, I lied, I have six chapters written, not seven,and the sixth is super short. But, at the moment, I don't care! But I won't be updating for a while, since I want to get more written. It takes me forever to get stories written! But, it should be done before school year end. Enjoy!

A few hours later

"Maybe this isn't a good idea…" Andros's voice trailed off as they neared the doors of Power Mania Café, a joint of the Surf Spot and Youth Center, run by Ernie, Adelle and the latest addition: Amide.

"No." Karone said firmly. "You are not backing out of this now."

"Besides…" Zhane teased. "Don't you want to hear Cassie and Ashley sing…" Andros growled involuntarily; he could tell that Zhane hadn't lost that irritating but amusingly exasperating twisted humor he specialized at.

Elsewhere…

"You sure we have everything?" Andrea fretted. "Oh, Cassie and Ashley are so good at this, I wish I had paid attention on their shopping sprees. Oh, um, let's see, we have this and… this… Oh drat! No, wait. Carlos! Get over here!"

"Yeah?" Carlos asked through clenched teeth that were holding a bag of Pampers, his arms full with baby Lillian.

"Carlos…" Andrea trailed off, before a bright smile spread across her face. "We have everything, everyone, and every expense and detail covered… right down to music we're going to play!"

"Thmgra!" Carlos called, muffled by Lillian's curious hands and bag of diapers she had chosen as arsenal to shove in Carlos's face. Andrea began giggling uncontrollably; she just couldn't wait until tonight!

Front Table at Power Mania Café…

"Oooh… I can't wait!" Carene exclaimed, bouncing up and down in her seat, the lacy sleeves of her peasant top bouncing right along with her.

"Calm down, Cara." T.J laughed, using the nickname he had give her.

Sighing she slouched into her seat, feeling very impatient and giddy. "Okay." She mumbled, resigned, before brightening up. "You owe me full details of the unveiling!"

T.J just shook his head, amused. "Cara, Cara." He murmured, stroking her hair.

She twisted to look at him with a gentle grin and warm puppy dog eyes. "You are the most amazing person I've ever known." She said simply, and left it at that as she snuggled up close to T.J. He grinned, feeling her petite body curled close; sure, he had had a major crush on Cassie since Day 1, but, after seeing her and Phantom that time on Herucus, he knew he had no chance, and that was when he realized that he liked Cassie better as a friend, not a love interest. Wrapping an arm around Carene, he felt his love for her grow.

Backstage

"Cassie?" Ashley asked timidly.

"Yeah?" Cassie's eyes darted up from where she was applying makeup to Ashley, standing there in low-rise deep blue jeans, and a cottony plain yellow tank top with a layer of pale lace on top of it, creating two-part sleeves.

"Are you sure you want to sing "Promise Me"?"

"Yes!" Cassie exclaimed, standing up. "You know the lines, your parts, you'll be fine. No, go get ready!"

"But I won't be on stage for another hour or so."

"Don't matter. When in show biz, you always have to be ready."
