Luna woke up to the sound of her alarm beeping for some reason much more annoying than usual. She sat up in her bed and turned looked over and saw Melody was gone for some reason. Still a bit tired Luna walked over pulled out some clothes and walked over to her floor's closest shower. She quickly cleaned herself of and got dressed before heading to her dorm.

"Morning Luna." Melody said stretching a bit. "Woke up to see the sunrise again and I got you some breakfast."

Luna took the bag and looked at it. Melody placed two things of coffee on the nightstand. See saw the same thing on the coffee cup. It was a orange and pink logo that said Creamy Coffee on it.

"Oh sorry I thought you said you liked coffee." Melody said taking a notice of Luna's expression towards the coffee.

"I just never heard of Creamy Coffee before." Luna opened the warm coffee and took a sip. It tasted a bit like CosmicBucks but it had something different. Luna just couldn't put her finger on it. She put her normal sugar and cream in the cup and mixed it up.

"You said you're from Michigan right?" Melody asked stretching a little bit and pulling out her phone. Luna nodded as she took a bite of the doughnut that was in the bag. "Maybe they don't have that many Creamy Donuts in your area. I know there's alot of them in New England."

"So is there no CosmicBucks in the area?" Luna asked taking another sip now that it was mixed. She smiled for some reason it made her feel like home.

"It is one or two near my town. Not sure if there's a CosmicBucks in the area."

"Well this does taste good." Luna smiled at the warmth of the coffee. It reminded her of the time Leni made coffee for the first time, sure the second eldest Loud didn't like the coffee but it always nice to enjoy a warm drink with a friend.

"At least you like coffee." Melody brushed her hair to fix it up a little. "Aria can't stand it. Do you know what she gets when we go to Creamy Coffee?"

Luna shrugged a bit. Luna started to apply some sunscreen and Melody answered.

"She gets Freezattes do you know what those are?" Melody went bugged eye as Luna shook her head. "They're slushies, fancy slushies with a marketing name to get more people to buy them. It doesn't matter what timeof day it is she always buys a Freezatte. Unless it's winter then she gets hot chocolate which I can understand."

"Are there even any other options?" Luna asked finishing to apply her sunscreen.

"There's the Chill Chocolates but I've never seen her get them or the iced tea. If she wants a slushie we have convent stores."

"Eh it's her choice." Luna said as she and Melody started to walk to the football field. Luna couldn't help but slow down her walk a bit as they walking. Today was the big day and she couldn't help but doubt herself. She had only played her alto sax for a few months and would it be enough to make it an entire run through. She started running the counts in her head in hopes to remember them. So far the areas where she was remaining in one place was the only easy part. Okay it wasn't that easy with some of the music but it wasn't as hard as when she had to play when she marched.

"Big run through today!" A bunch of upperclassmen yelled running towards the field. If Luna had to guess the students were probably juniors or seniors.

"Alright everyone go to block!" Paisley yelled as the students entered the football field. Luna ran to the medical tent and got her shoulder ice pack before putting her instrument together and standing in block. She had no idea if it was because she was nervous or if it actually was but block seemed so much shorter than normal. It wasn't like they skipped anything. They marched forwards, backwards, shifted, practiced turning, all the drills they did every morning. She still couldn't believe how short block was.

"Man last day of the first week of band camp." Aria said as she danced during there five minute break before the worked on the show. "I am getting pumped people."

"I'm looking forward to sleep in a little." Ethan said taking a sip of water. "Even for two days."

"And not be marching most of the day." Melody added.

"Okay everyone back to the field." Mr. Taylor called out causing the band to run to the top of the show where they started everyday. Perm norm they ran through the first song. This was the only part of the show Luna felt comfortable going over. The opening number was the big number. It was the first song the audience heard and Luna considered it the most important. Due to her past experience with music, Luna knew how important how the opening number was. She remembered once when she and Sam were preforming the band before them messed up the first song causing a dark mood for the rest of the performance. So if there was one point Luna wouldn't allow herself to mess up it was this number.

The day went on as normal. The band went over the other four numbers. The first song was the Justice Fighters theme which had become very popular so it would help hype up the show, getting everyone excited. The next song was from the movie Queen Amazon. Luna and Sam saw that movie for a date night, Luna thought the music was pretty good. The third song was the battle song from a movie called Bug-Man Luna wasn't sure she had heard of the movie before but the song was good. The forth song was also a battle song but from Captain Space. The final song was The Greatest Victory and was heard at the end of most of the Justice Fighters. Luna couldn't help but love it. It felt so victorious and happy and would leave the audience in a happy mood after the show. Luna only hoped she would not mess this up.

"Is it just me or did today seem be harder?" Aria asked as the friends sat down for lunch.

"Well it is the last day of the first week of band camp so we may just be tired out." Issac said as he adjusted his shirt sleeve.

"If that's the case I can't wait to relax a bit tomorrow."

"Okay I heard something from the upperclassman in my section but you didn't hear this from me." Ethan said motioning everyone to come closer. "I heard there's a surprise during our music rehearshal but they could be joking."

"Who's in your section?" Luna asked slightly suspicious but also hopeful for a break. She was even ignoring how she needed the music practice.

"Well there's Jake, Penny, Lucy, the twins Wendy and Will, and those are the only ones I remember the name for. You guys know how large the low brass section is. There's at least five different types of instruments."

"Wonder is my sister Lucy would play a low brass instrument?" Luna thought to herself and laughed at the thought of Lucy marching around with a tuba. She then looked at her friends, they were marching band for at least for years. "Are you guys nervous about the full run through today?"

"Well back at our old high school." Aria gestured between her and Melody. "The earliest we every did a full run through was on the last day of band camp. All other times we did them during after school or Saturday rehearsal. But I always felt nervous before the first one."

"Didn't help that our band sucked." Melody said before Aria gave her a glare. "Oh come you like the band only because you were awarded Best Achievement in Band at Awards Night for Seniors."

"I got nervous too. My freshman year I literally passed out."

"Are you serious?" Issac asked with wide eyes causing the girls to look at him confused

"No but it felt like it."

"Okay." Isaac looked down embarrassed. "I got nervous as well. It's normal at least I think it is."

"Well this is my first run through for marching band. I only picked up alto sax in April and I knew I was going. You guys are experts in your field. Even Isaac and he only started this year too."

"It's okay Luna we were all in your shoes at some point." Aria said to help comfort Luna.

"And I'll be blunt." Melody said leaning on the table. "The first run through is always the worst. Sure Amberheart works way harder than the average marching band but we always get better with time."

Once back on the field Luna stood there tall and trying not to shake, while her friends words did help her it wasn't the cure all for her fear. She considered this her big test in band and she hadn't even started classes yet. The rest of outdoor rehearsal went by quickly. Going over all the sets with music and even a few without when too many people messed up. As the seconds passed Luna couldn't help but tense up.

"Okay go and grab some water then we'll go the big run through." Mr. Taylor announced causing the band to rush to the sidelines.

While her friends conversed with each other, Luna remained silent. She counted steps in her head reviewed the counts and the notes. The break went by way to fast and the band went to the top of the show. Luna stood and looked over at Isaac who didn't appear to be nervous at all.

"Figures this is his fourth one or he is really good at hiding it." Luna thought to himself. At that moment Isaac looked over and smile as if he could sense what was going on.

Soon the band was called to attention. Dustin counted the band off and the opening number begin. The band proceeded to play the opener. Luna worked hard her mind only focused on her music and movements. They weren't using their flip folders that they normally used during the rehearsals. Sure it had only been a week and the show was about sixteen minutes long but the Amberheart staff had been drilling in how important memorization was. Luna didn't see it as too much as a stretch that they wouldn't allow the flip folders.

"Okay I have to give this my all." Luna thought to herself continued to march. "I can't fail on this run through."

As the notes came out Luna felt exposed. She didn't feel this way on the band room but she chose to ignore these feelings. They could cause her to fail big time. There was nothing she could do but play and play she did. She played her heart out. She could have been messing up every single note and off the entire time. There was no though of it in her mind. Before she new it the last note of the show was play. The run through was over.

"I did it." Luna said now a bit tired. "I actually did it."
