Luna walked around the campus a bit. She couldn't believe it was friends and family day already. The area around the football field was decorated with tents for everyone who was coming. Some of the students who had moved in that day were also there looking in amazement. They had already done some practice and Luna was in her marching band uniform, minus her jacket and hat. She was already pretty hot in the long pants she was required to wear. She still had an half an hour before she would be in the music building. As the time started to tick by she couldn't help but get increasing nervous. It didn't help that Mr. Taylor had this superstition that it was bad luck to do a run through on the day of the performance. She took notice of the time and started to make her way to the music building.

Once she was at the music building she saw that everyone was engaged in conversation. Almost all of them were about their families seeing the show. Luna walked down to the closet and grabbed her jacket and hat. The room was pretty crowded so she went upstairs to put them on. She walked to a secluded area and slowly put on the jacket. She slowly put on the jacket on and with every button she felt some sort of power. For the first time she pulled the feather out of the box and put it on the hat. She then put on her hat and strapped on the chinstrap tightly. Out of curiosity she walked around looking for a mirror and found one. She had to stop and stare. Something about seeing her in the uniform made her feel complete. The red, black, and gold work so well together on the jacket. It even went well with the blacks pants and shoes. The red was a deep red crimson which made the bright gold stand out. She felt like a full member of Amberheart marching band.

After she was done she walked back to the band room where Annie was handing out gloves. Luna grabbed her medium gloves and to her pleasant surprise they were prefect fit. They were black and had holes at the tips of the fingers. She didn't know if they could play alto sax with the fingers in gloves but she didn't want to find out. She walked over to her alto sax case and set her instrument up.

"Everyone it's time for sock check." Mr. Taylor said walking into the room.

"What?" Luna said as he walked over to wear everything was.

"We don't allow ankle socks in case our pants legs rise up. It helps us look more uniform." Damon explained as he walked up to her. "Last year someone was forced to sit out after they put on ankle socks."

"Wow this one strict group." Luna said now nervous.

"Eh all marching bands are like this." Damon shrugged a little. "Drum crops are even stricter than us."

Once everyone was checked and the band warmed up a bit they made there way out of the music building. The quickly made two lines similar to block except for the two lines. Luna made sure very was right behind the person in front of her. The drum majors quickly called the band to attention. Everyone in band was wearing the same uniform except for the susaphones and drum line. They were bandannas instead.

Before Luna knew it the band was marching down to the football field. As they marched in the football field roared with applause. The announcer made there presence know to the crowd. He went on the mention all the staff, including the drum majors and color guard captains. Once Luna reached her spot for the top of the show Luna contained to mark time until Dustin went up on the podium and called them to set. With the first note the crowd went silent. They remind so for the entire show. Luna didn't now if it was because they loved the show or hated it. When the last note was played and Hallie turned towards the audience. They not only applauded they gave the show and standing ovation. Luna could not help but smile.

"Luna aren't you going to find your family?" Melody asked taking notice of Luna sitting under a tree by herself. It had been about forty-five minutes after the performance and Luna had changed into much cooler clothes. She had grabbed some lunch and was know eating it alone.

"There not coming bra." Luna admitted eating her sandwich. "Remember I'm from Michigan."

"I'm sure your parents could make a road trip weekend or something." Melody suggested with a shrug.

"You know I'll go looking." Luna said hopefully. She kept her sandwich in one hand as she walked. She saw almost everyone in band had changed out of uniform and were now catching up with their families. Luna looked for a crowd of twelve. She looked for an aggravated food line but the only one was because the tent cooking slow, not because of twelve people ordering for it. She checked every corner she could be could find nothing.

"Hey Luna!" Luna looked over and saw Ethan waving her down. She walked over and saw his family including a baby sollar. "I want you to meet my baby brother Danny"

Luna knelt down and saw the little baby. He was about ten months old and smiled when he saw Luna. Luna couldn't help but smile back, it had been awhile since she had seen a baby up close.

"Ethan has told us about you." His mother said with a smile. "Is it true you have ten siblings?"

"Yes." Luna answered trying to hide her annoyance. Being asked that question all the time made her wear thin of it.

"Oh my well you must enjoy the peace and quiet and college." Ethan's mom said with a smile.

"You bet." Luna lied because she didn't want to spill all of loneliness she was feeling to this stranger. Sure Ethan was there but she didn't know anything about his mother. She also didn't want to upset Danny. If helping take care of five babies taught her anything if was that babies were much more aware of their surrounding than most people would believe. The most clear example Luna could think of was when they has a yard sale and Lily lost her blanket. She was able to tell all the fake blankets from her real one. Luna still had no idea how she did that.

"Well I don't want to keep you away from your family." Ethan's mom said. "I hope you find them soon."

"I will thank you." Luna walked away with a sigh. She didn't really know what to do now. She walked all around the event area but couldn't find any group larger than eight. She had no choice but to give up. She figured this would be the case. Finding a lone bench she laid down and sighed. Using her phone she looked up how long it would take to drive to Amberheart from home. The phone showed off that was a fourteen hour drive. How could she even think her family could show up? Twelve people wouldn't last in the car for fourteen hours. They would probably have to stop at a motel as well. They wouldn't be able to fit in a motel room. Lola would surely cause a scene about that. There wasn't really anything she could do.

"Luna are you alright?" Luna opened her eyes to see Aria looking over her

"Dah!" Luna said in fright and sat up quickly. Aria moved away quickly so she was not hit by Luna's head when she sat up. You startled me bra!"

"Sorry." Aria said very sheepishly. "I just wanted to know if you are alright. You're sitting here away from everyone by yourself."

"Well it's just." Luna sat up and moved to side. Aria took the notion and sat down next to her. "I really wanted my family to come here and see the show. I haven't seen them since I moved away here. I should have expected this. They couldn't afford for all of them to come."

"Maybe your older sisters came." Aria suggest sounding very optimistic. "That way you have some of your family here to support you."

"Nah bra." Luna said leaning on the bench some more. "Once one of us leaves for something at least one of the other ten of us wants to tag along. So if Lori and Leni go to Amberheart, everyone goes to Amberheart. It probably was just some dream to large but I guess I'm just lonely recently."

Aria thought about for a minute. "Hey want to join my family for dinner later?"

"Aria it's fine I don't want to be a burden." Luna said starting to get up.

"Oh come Luna my family wouldn't mind. At my elementary school's parent day we let a kid who's parent didn't up eat with us."

Luna shook her head. She didn't want to upset Aria. "But that was a child, I'm eighteen. They expect me to be fine without my family here. It's the norm for college students like me."

"Oh come on. We had Melody over plenty of times. Sometimes we would hang out and my parents already made food for her. They're super chill bra."

Luna couldn't help but laugh at Aria trying to imitate her. "Okay I'll talk to them."
