''What ya doing sweetheart?'' Susan sing songs as she walks into her daughters bedroom, Brittany looks up from her homework and chuckles.
''Hey Ma, homework.'' She replies with a grin. ''How was work?''
Susan points to one of the questions and shakes her head chuckling. ''Read that one again Britt and work was fine, had to shoot a few newborn pictures thank god they were all adorable.''
''So no puking kids?'' She asks in amusement as she erases the question her mother pointed at and writes down the correct answer.
''No they all slept peacefully throughout the shooting.''
Brittany laughs as she yawns and leans back to kiss her cheek. ''It's late mom, go to bed.''
''Did you eat?''
She nods her head and smiles. ''Yeah I made us lasagna, I already placed your lunchbox in the fridge so you can take it with you tomorrow.''
''Awesome, thank you sweetheart.'' Susan murmurs kissing her head.
''No problem ma, go to bed.''
''I will, don't stay up too late alright?''
''I won't.'' Brittany promises. ''I only have these two questions left, I will lay down in about half an hour.''
Susan nods her head and smiles. ''Alright, good night honey.''
''Good night ma, love you.'' She turns back to her homework as her mom walks out of the room closing the door behind her and sighs softly answering the last two questions, she grabs her phone as soon as she read them all through and slides it back into her bag.
She walks over to her bed after turning the lights on and dives under the covers grabbing her phone as she notices the small light signaling a message blinking, she quickly unlocks it raising an eyebrow as she sees that Puck tagged her singer profile on something on Instagram.
She taps his message tilting her head as it directs her to a video and smiles lovingly as she watches a little boy dancing to her song playing on the TV the day she had her first interview on Jimmy Fallon's show, she double taps the video to like it and scrolls down to Puck's message.
Puckosaurus: Hey BrittMusic, look at this cute lil guy.
She scrolls back up to the video smiling as she sees him trying the exact same dance she performed on stage two weeks before and turns the volume up tilting her head as she hears two voices in the background.
''Well damn.'' She murmurs as she hears the soft smoky voice of the woman cheering her son on, she smiles hearing the loud voice cheering the boy on right after and scrolls back down to Puck's comment.
BrittMusic: Little guy can out dance you Noah.
She scrolls back up watching the video once again, listening to the voice in the very first seconds and bites her lip closing Instagram to open her messenger. She scrolls down to Kane's name hoping he is still awake and taps their conversation.
To Kane Brown: Hey Kane, am I allowed to start a challenge for my fans?
From Kane Brown: Hey depends, what kind of challenge?
She laughs as she immediately receives his reply and sends him her idea.
To Kane Brown: A challenge for the little fans like a dance challenge, Puck just tagged me under a video of a little boy dancing to my song trying to copy the one I did on stage, I would like to share that one and ask other parents to join in.
From Kane Brown: Sounds amazing, contact the person who originally posted it before you share it though. Katelyn just told me that you can also add that the winner will win a meet & greet or something.
She opens Instagram again after promising that she will and scrolls further up the page tapping on the name, she raises an eyebrow as she reads the info on the account and smiles slightly as she sees the amount of people following it. ''Well damn, her business is definitely running.''
She scrolls further down and noticing several pictures of cupcakes and smiles. ''And she has talent, damn those look amazing.'' She breaths out eyeing the red velvet cupcakes with a fondant rose on top.

She scrolls back up tapping the private message button and bites her lip fingers hovering over the letters on her phone.
Hello Miss Lopez,
My best friend just tagged me on the video of your son dancing to my song, he is very talented.
I am sorry for the late message but I wanted to ask if I am allowed to re-post it.
I would like to share it with everyone and announce a dance challenge for the little ones, your son is free to join too if he would like to.
Have a nice day.
Brittany
She places her phone down after sending the message and plugs it in, she turns off the lamp on her bedside table and scoots down nuzzling her face against her pillow knowing it's time to go to sleep if she wants to concentrate on school the next day.
The next evening.
''B phone!''
Brittany rolls her eyes as she hears Puck yell from the living room and chuckles. ''What is it?!''
''Insta! The woman of the video just messaged you!''
She turns on her heels leaving Jake to make popcorn alone and walks into the living room snatching her phone out of Puck's hand before he can unlock it.
''You flirting with her?'' He teases with a grin as he notices her smile, he laughs covering his head as she hits him with a pillow and rolls off of the couch. ''Damn no need to kill me if you do asshole!''
''I am not flirting with her, you fucker.'' Brittany grumbles ears tinting red. ''I just messaged her asking if I can re-post the video and announce a challenge for the little fans.''
''A challenge?'' Jake asks curiously as he joins them in the living room. ''What kind of challenge?''
Brittany shrugs her shoulders and chuckles. ''A dance challenge, winner will win a meet & greet.''
''And who votes?'' Puck asks as they all sit down.
''Kane, Kate and I will.'' Brittany murmurs having talked more about the upcoming challenge with Katelyn. ''We will also fly to wherever the kid lives so he won't have to force himself on a plane in case he never flew before.''
She smiles as they nod their heads in understanding and points to the TV. ''Pick out whatever you want to watch.'' She tells them as she turns to her phone, she unlocks it after making sure the boys won't look at the message and smiles as she reads the reply.
Hello Brittany,
Of course you can re-post it, the second I asked him if you can he almost bust my eardrums squealing. The first time he heard your song on the radio, he immediately fell in love with it and started dancing in his seat.
Judging the squealing still going on and the big smile on his face right now, I am also one hundred percent sure that he would love to join the challenge.
Are there any rules? Age restrictions or such?
Santana
She smiles quickly typing out her reply and exits the conversation by tapping on the picture, she scrolls down to the video and taps it.
Hello Santana,
No, no restrictions just for the little ones age 5-10 to have fun dancing to one of the songs and that the video will be submitted to the link in my story.
Brittany
She shares the video in her story making sure to tag the woman's account and types out a message for the people following her on Instagram.
Hey guys, I just saw this adorable little guy dancing to Road Less Traveled and that made an idea pop into my head.
I would love to see videos of little cowboys and cowgirls dancing to one of my songs, by the end of this month Kane Brown, Katelyn Brown and I will view all videos you all submitted to this link.
The best dance wins a meet & greet, so all videos submitted within the next two weeks will be viewed, we will send a message out to all children who danced but by the end of the month we will announce the winner.
Love
Brittany.
She places her phone down after publishing the story and places her phone down, she glances at the movie the boys picked chuckling as she sees American Pie two and leans back in her seat after grabbing a hand full of popcorn.
''Yo B move your ass over.'' Jake exclaims as he notices her leaning back against the love seat she is sitting on. ''We need some trouble cuddles.''
She laughs standing up from her seat and walks over yelping as both boys pull her between them, she snickers as they both lean into her side and leans her head on Jake's shoulder feeling Puck's head land on her shoulder.
''Any plans for your mom's birthday in two days?'' Puck asks softly after glancing at the time to make sure Susan won't be home soon.
''Mh wanted to talk about it with the both of you tomorrow.'' Brittany murmurs as she munches on popcorn. ''I will release my first real music video Friday night and it's a song for her, I need the both of you to make sure she won't find out.''
''Why?'' Jake asks curiously. ''It's for her right?''
''Well yeah.'' Brittany murmurs with a nervous grin. ''But I want her to hear the song live for the first time.'' She adds.
''Live?'' Puck asks in confusion.
''Live.'' Brittany repeats biting her lip. ''I have an interview with Talk of the Town the next morning and will perform it right there, I will try to turn off all notifications on her phone for that day so she won't see it but I need the both of you to make sure she won't turn the radio or TV on that morning.''
''Consider it done.'' Puck murmurs with a grin. ''You need us on stage?''
Brittany nods her head and chuckles. ''Always, I will send you the chords tomorrow.'' She turns to Jake and smiles. ''Remember the instrumental drum part we did about a week ago?'' She chuckles as he nods his head and leans her head back on his shoulder. ''You can just do that, it will fit perfectly.''
''Any plans for after the show?'' They both ask after Jake just hummed.
''Who's Ma's favorite singer?''
''Elvis.'' Both boys reply in unison.
Brittany laughs and nods her head. ''Talk of the Town will be recorded in Memphis.'' She murmurs.
''No way!'' Jake gasps out as he sits up. ''You got tickets?''
Brittany laughs and nods her head. ''Ultimate VIP for all four of us.'' She replies with a grin as Puck also sits up looking at her with wide eyes. ''Kane managed to get them for a good deal and.'' She rubs the back of her neck and smiles shyly. ''Rushing into the top ten with two songs and holding it for almost two weeks now, also made it possible to just not worry about finally scoring those tickets for Ma.''
''That good?'' Puck asks with an eyebrow raised.
''Let's just say that I almost choked on my sandwich the second Kane told me that the interview with Jimmy caused a major rise on all streaming platforms.'' She nods her head to her phone and bites her lip. ''Hell did you see how much followers I gained since then?''
''A lot.'' Jake murmurs. ''You went from fifty thousand before to god knows how much you have now.''
Brittany nods her head in agreement and sighs. ''It scared the hell out of me the first time I cracked hundred thousand, but now I have around two hundred thousand.'' She breaths out. ''Kate is also busy with some shows asking me for an interview and Kane already cleared with mom that I can join him to the next CMA because people will ask where I am if I don't join.''
''I hope you realize now why we all told you to follow your dreams B.'' Puck breaths out. ''Your voice is amazing and as much as you tried to downplay it, just look at all social media platforms or the amount of people streaming your music that will show you just how amazing you are.''
''I am just scared that it will cause trouble at school, hell everyone is already acting like I am the shit.''
''Because you are.'' Jake deadpans, he chuckles as Brittany groans and kisses her cheek. ''It's a small town B and I am surprised no one spilled where you live yet but if it happens you know that your mom has a back up plan.'' He murmurs.
''We will make sure you can still enjoy high school B.'' Puck promises. ''You released your first song almost two months ago and you gained a lot of fans in a short time, but even though your schedule is packed, you and your mom still make sure that you have enough time for school.''
''Do you know what ma and I are planning?'' Brittany asks softly, she bites her lip as both boys just raise an eyebrow and shrugs. ''We want to try and talk to the principal about graduating one year earlier, so instead of going to school for the next two years I might.''
She nods her head to Jake. ''Graduate with you next year.''
''You think that will be possible?'' Jake asks curiously.
''Well mom will stand behind me during the whole thing and I might need to explain the principal why, but I don't think he will say no.''
''You have a 3.8 GPA at the moment.'' Puck tells her with a chuckle. ''He can't say no because even though you are stressed as fuck, you still keep up your grades.''
''Well yeah but even if he says no, there is a test I can take that will allow me to graduate early if I pass.''
''There is a test?'' Jake asks with an eyebrow raised.
''Sounds like someone wants to leave school early too.'' Susan laughs as the three teens on the couch jump in surprise and walks over kissing her daughters head, she pulls back after greeting the boys with a kiss on their cheeks and smiles. ''And yes there is a test.'' She replies.
''Hey ma.'' Brittany murmurs with a sheepish grin.
Susan laughs and taps her head. ''So much for keeping it a secret for now honey.'' She smiles lovingly as she just looks down at her hands with a sigh and kisses her head. ''They are family B, I know you can't keep any secrets around them.''
''What is this test all about?'' Jake asks curiously.
Susan chuckles walking around the couch and sits down in the love seat. ''It's called HiSet, it's an exam you can take that covers the five most important subjects.'' She explains. ''You can take the test if you managed to keep up a 3.0 GPA for two years.''
''Alright never mind.'' Jake grumbles, Susan laughs and pats his leg.
''You will graduate next year J, we will just make sure B does too.'' She murmurs. ''I think we can all see how tired she is, so I hope she manages to keep up her grades and graduating early also has it perks.''
''She can concentrate on singing.'' Puck breaths out shrugging. ''It will mean less stress and more time to record.''
''That does sound awesome, the past few months I didn't even manage to stay up past midnight.'' Brittany grumbles as she cuddles back into Jake's side, Susan laughs and shrugs.
''I'm not complaining.'' She smirks as Brittany shoots her a softened glare and reaches forward to squeeze her leg softly. ''It will get better honey, just give it time.'' She sits back as Brittany just hums and smiles. ''Just promise me to step back if things get too much? I don't want you to break down because of all the stress.''
''I will, I promise.'' Brittany murmurs as the boys also turn to her with an eyebrow raised, Puck chuckles as she yawns right after and glances at the time.
''I think J and I will go home, it's almost ten and we both have training tomorrow morning.''
''Stay here.'' Susan just tells them. ''I washed your extra uniforms and hung them in the closet, I also grabbed breakfast for all of us so just take the guestroom again.'' She rolls her eyes as they both raise an eyebrow and laughs. ''B texted me that the both of you are here so I just grabbed extra breakfast, you know that I will never kick the both of you out boys.''
''Next time breakfast is on us Ma.'' Puck murmurs as he stands up, he pats Brittany's head as she yawns again and chuckles. ''Come on B, time to hit the hay.''
Susan laughs softly as her daughter moves sloppily knowing she will fall asleep the second her head hits the pillow and kisses her forehead. ''Good night honey.'' She turns to the boys kissing their cheeks and smiles. ''Good night boys.''
