Being a famous singer can be fun sometimes, but there are other times it isn't. There are some people out there that don't like your music or don't like you in general. Sometimes all that hate can really get to you and Davis is about to see that for himself.
"Davis, breakfast!" Miley called.
"It's not anything weird again, is it?" Davis said.
"You're good!" Jesse said. Davis came in and saw it was just a regular breakfast. That was a relief to him.
"Good. I need the energy." Davis said. "That big charity event is coming up. I agreed to sing in it and I plan on raising a lot of money."
"Oh yeah. What charity did you agree to do?" Jesse asked.
"It's suppose to raise some money for the children that are in the hospital." Davis said as he ate some of his food.
"If you talk with food in your mouth, you're the one who is going to need a hospital." Miley said. "It's a great thing that you're doing. That charity even is going to be happening live. Hundreds, maybe even thousands of people will be watching. With you being there, I'm sure you'll raise a lot of money. Don't forget that before that, you have an interview to be on. You'll be making a reappearance on Ellen's show again."
"No worries." Davis said. "Everything is going well. Just you wait and see. Everything is going to work out." He finished up his breakfast and headed for school. Davis really thought things were going to be just fine for him.
…
The School
Being a celebrity means still going to school, at least for Davis. He pushed through it and was talking to Ken about his plans going on.
"Once I start singing, we'll raise tons of money for the hospital." Davis said.
"Someone sounds pretty confident in himself." Ken said. "Just be careful. Too much confidence can be a bad thing."
"No worries." Davis said. "I'm going to do my live interview, after that I'm going to do the charity event. What could go wrong?"
"A few things maybe." Yolei said as she came by and they could see her holding a magazine.
"What? Yolei, what are you saying?" Davis asked.
"I just got done reading this magazine and there's an article about you in here." Yolei said. Both of them were curious. Yolei opened up and began reading it. "Listen to this. They're saying that you're nothing except a fraud, Davis."
"A fraud? What?" Davis said as he didn't understand.
"Listen." Yolei said as she began reading. "Davis Motomiya, formerly known as Jason Burner, may have been a great singer. However, it turns out he's a fake just like most celebrities. He lied about his identity. Who knows what else he lied about? Can he even sing? Does he mean any of the words he says? Is he really the nice guy we were led to believe or is it all just a lie? I recommend that if you enjoy his music, just leave it at that for we know nothing about this fraud."
"Ouch." Ken said as that article sounded a little harsh.
"It looks like revealing your secret has brought out some haters, Davis." Yolei said.
"Nonsense." Davis said as he really didn't care about what that article had to say. "They write stuff like that all the time to make sells. People exaggerate like that almost all the time."
"So you're not bothered by any of it?" Yolei said.
"No. I'm not going to let something like this bug me." Davis said. "It's just one stupid article. I doubt anyone would really believe it in the first place. There's nothing to worry about." Yolei and Ken were a little impressed with how mature Davis was being about this. What they didn't know was that article played more of a part than they thought.

Ellen's Show
"Hello and welcome to my show. I'm your host: Ellen Meyers." Ellen introduced herself and people were glad to be on this show. "Today I have Davis Motomiya with me tonight." She introduced Davis and everyone cheered for him. "It's so nice to have you here. It was my show that he revealed that he was Jason Burner for those who didn't know."
"Thanks, Ellen. It's great to be here." Davis said.
"I think I speak for everyone when we were all surprised to see that you were Jason Burner. So what made you decide to come back?" Ellen asked.
"Well, last time I was on your show, it was really just for the big reveal. So I thought I give you the chance to have a real talk with me." Davis said.
"Well, that's very thoughtful of you." Ellen said. "I heard that Miley is your legal guardian. Was she the one that inspired you to do this?"
"Yes actually." Davis said. "I lived in the same building as Miley when I was a kid. With my parents away for business, they trusted Miley to take care of me until they get back. When I told her I wanted to be a performer, she told me about what she went through. So she decided to help me out and we created this second identity for me so I could have a normal life and have a celebrity life. It's what she would call the best of both worlds." Ellen laughed at that little comment he made.
"It does sound nice, but you didn't want that anymore?" Ellen asked.
"No. The secret caused some problems. It affected me and I could take it, but when it started to affect my friends, the ones that were aware of it, I had to do something. I knew I would need some strong solution and revealing the secret was the only thing I could think of. I couldn't do it if I knew my friends and the people I care about are being affected by it."
"That sounds really sweet of you." Ellen said as she pulled out a phone. "So let's take some calls and see what some of our viewers have to say."
"Fire away. Let's see what they've got." Davis said. Ellen started the phone and put it on speaker.
"You're on the Ellen Show with Davis Motomiya, caller. Anything you would like to say to him?" Ellen said.
"You should be ashamed of yourself." A woman said on the phone.
"Huh?" Davis said as he didn't expect that.
"My kids idolized you when you were Jason Burner. Now it turns out their idol was a big liar?" The woman said. "They were crushed when they learned you were nothing, but a faker."
"I'm not a faker." Davis said.
"Oh no?" The lady said and was going on about the negative qualities of Davis. Ellen helped him out by ending the call.
"That sounded like it was getting ugly." Ellen said.
"I'm not a fraud or anything. I didn't think revealing my secret would cause problems for people I don't even know. How would that even happen?" Davis said.
"Good question. Maybe we'll find the answer if we take some more calls." Ellen said as she answered another call. "You're on the Ellen Show with Davis Motomiya as my guess. Do you have anything you like to say?"
"Yeah." This time it was a man. "So Davis just claimed he's not a fraud. He says he doesn't see how him revealing his secret has caused some problems. I can tell you how."
"Oh boy." Davis said as he didn't like the sound of this.
"I work at a store where I sell a bunch of Jason Burner merchandise." The man said. "Now that you revealed your secret, they want stuff with your real face. I'm having a hard time selling and Jason Burner anymore because Jason Burner is no more. They want Davis Motomiya, but I don't have any of that yet."
"Ouch. That has to be bad for business." Ellen said.
"I swear I didn't mean to cause any trouble." Davis said.
"I understand that sweetie, but actions have consequences. Even ones we wouldn't even think would happen." Ellen said. "So let's take another call in a segment I like to call Davis: Real Idol or Fake?" Davis may not have been bothered by the article, but this stuff is really getting to him.
…..
The Penthouse
Davis headed straight home after that show. After hearing all those calls, it all looks like he's the bad guy. Miley and Jesse saw him when he came in and knew what happened on the show.
"Hey, Davis." Jesse said.
"How you doing?" Miley asked.
"Lousy." Davis said as he plummet on the couch. "Those were the worst calls I ever had and I was called out on television. Everyone is calling me some sort of fraud when I revealed the big secret and are acting like it was a bad thing."
"Well, revealing that you were pretending to be someone the whole time and things about you are a lie usually is a bad thing." Jesse said, but Miley glared at him. "What?"
"Not helping." Miley said and focused on comforting Davis. "Davis, that's just part of being a celebrity. You're going to have some haters. You just need to ignore them and keep going."
"Uh…that might be harder than you think." Jesse said.
"Why's that?" Miley asked.
"Look at the news." Jesse said as he turned on the volume. It was news about Davis Motomiya and was talking about the same thing as everyone else.
"Davis Motomiya… Is he really a star or is he one of those celebrities that fakes who he is to get attention and fans." The newsman said. "A lot of people are saying he's a fraud with how he lied and deceived everyone with him being Jason Burner."
"Oh come on!" Davis said.
"Took the words out of my mouth." Miley said.
"Sources say that Miley Stewart is to blame for this since she lied when she was Hannah Montana." The newsman said. "Is Miley Stewart really a good influence or does she bring more like Davis into the world?"
"Now they're dragging you into this? That isn't fair." Davis said.
"Well, you admitted she was the one that got you to become Jason Burner in the first place." Jesse said, but both of them stared at him. "Got it. Not helping."
"They hate me now." Davis said.
"So what? You still got that charity event. Once they see how much money you raise for those poor children in the hospital, they'll change their minds." Miley said.
"Miley's right." Jesse said. "You're going to do that charity, raise some money, and people will see what a great guy you are."
"Heck yeah." Miley said.
"In fact, Miley will perform as well." Jesse said.
"Heck no." Miley said.
"Now who isn't helping?" Jesse said.
"I'm not performing with all that hate. Besides, I haven't performed in front of a crowd that big in years. I'm out of practice." Miley said.
"So get in practice." Jesse said.
"If all those people hate me, I'm not sure if I can perform." Davis said and both of them were shocked by it. "If everyone hates me, who will donate for the charity. Maybe I'll do more harm than good."
"Davis, you can't back out of this." Jesse said.
"Jesse's right. It will only make yourself look bad and make things worse." Miley said. "Plus, you can't let a few critics get in the way of this. Don't let them get to you."
"You hear what they're saying. They think I'm a fake. They'll probably think I'm only doing this to make myself look good." Davis said. "I've never dealt with so much hate before. I hate to let them down, but I don't know how I'm going to perform now." Davis got up and went to his room to mope. Things are already looking bad for him, but this could make things worse.
…
The Next Day
Davis never dealt with so much hate from fans and critics before. People saying he's a fraud and that he made things worse for others when he revealed the secret. Now he doesn't know how to make things better.
"I got you some ice cream." Ken said as he had a seat next to him and him the bowl. Davis decided to lay low and stay at the penthouse.
"I'm dealing with critics. It's not like I'm suffering from heartbreak." Davis said.
"You're really going to skip on the charity event?" Ken questioned. "All those kids were really counting on you."
"I don't want to, but what can I do? If people hate me, how can I perform?" Davis said.
"Has that ever stopped you before?" Ken said. "You had to have known that not everyone was going to like your music or anything."
"Yeah. Miley told me all that, but I never dealt with it like this." Davis said. "Usually I just blow it all off, but it looks like I can't ignore it this time. I don't know what to do."
"Well, let's hope Miley and Jesse came up with some excuse that also keeps your good side strong." Ken said. "Maybe they said you have a sore throat or broke something. Isn't the charity event being placed on live T.V.?"
"Ken…" Davis said as he wasn't in the mood for his games.
"Let's just see how it's going." Ken said, but Davis knew he would just feel guilty about the whole thing. Ken turned on the screen and found the channel it was on. "Is that Jesse?"
"What?" Davis said. He was surprised to see Jesse was on there and he was acting like the host.
"Okay. We're not doing so bad." Jesse said. "We managed to get in a few hundred dollars and I'm sure there's more to come. Let's give it up for our next singer. It's my wife: Miley!" Jesse introduced Miley and she came on the stage.
"Miley? Didn't you say she wasn't going to perform?" Ken said.
"That's what she told me." Davis said.
"I'm glad to be here. Anything for the kids." Miley said. "I must admit that I wasn't sure if I was going to perform. It's been so long since I have, but I need to send a special message to a special friend of mine. This is more important than what I want. So let's do this!" Miley began to perform and doesn't care about what she said earlier. Davis could see that she doesn't care anymore about what people are going to say because what she thinks of this is more important.
…
The Charity
Miley finished with her own song and was hoping her message got through to Davis. She raised some money, but she's hoping for Davis to show up.
"Do you think it worked?" Miley said.
"I hope so." Jesse said.
"It did." Both of them saw Davis and were glad to see he made it. No words needed to be said. "I think it's my turn now."
"You got it." Jesse said as he went back on the stage. "Miley was great, but you're about to see her protégé in action. Here comes….Davis Motomiya." Davis came on the stage and he wasn't going to let anyone stop him. Just like this song says, he's unstoppable like everyone else when it comes down to what really matters.
Every challenge we face is just another obstacle in the way
They keep getting harder and harder
But we get better and better
We don't give up and we don't go down
Because we're unstoppable
It's because we're unstoppable
We're unstoppable
No one can stop us
We're powerful, invincible
We become champions and we fight to the end
Always giving it all we got
Not one-hundred percent
We give it one-hundred-fifty percent
Because we're unstoppable
It's because we're unstoppable
We're unstoppable
Get out of our way
We won't give up
We will win
Right here, right now
Because I have no doubt
Because we're unstoppable
It's because we're unstoppable
We're unstoppable
We are powerful and invincible
We are champions
And it's all because we're unstoppable
People cheered and a lot of money was raised for the children's hospital. There may be some critics and haters out there, but he's not going to let that stop him.
