"Ugh this doesn't look good," Melody said scrolling through her phone.
"What is it?" Luna asked eating some of her lunch.
"The competition for the bowl looks tough," Melody said. She held up her phone to everyone else.
"We can make it we're 4-4 we need to win two more games and we're elidable," Aria pointed out with a smile.
"So you need six wins to make this bowl thing?" Luna asked.
"Yup and the bowl is the biggest game of the season."
"I think Lynn made have mentioned that," Luna said now thinking about it a little more. "She once said a 5-7 team made the championship."
"Depending on the other teams yes," Melody explained stabbing her salad.
"Melody you did not choose this school because of football did you?" Aria asked raising an eyebrow.
"That's why Eric chose Chesnut Hill," Isaac explained but thought about for a moment. "Or did they chose him for his football?"
"Could be either," Aria shrugged. "I think it's the same for my cousin in Hanger."
"Oh cool, where's that?" Ethan asked.
"It's in Long Island," Aria said with a smile.
"Wow that's far," Isaac said.
"You think so my brother want's to go to Tampa U." Aria took a sip of her milk.
"All the way to Florida," Ethan made a face and looked like he was going to fall off his chair. "What does your mom think?"
"She thinks he'll change his mind by senior year," Aria said with a small laugh.
"But seriously guys we need to focus on the bowl," Melody held up her phone and showed everyone the football stats. "Are we going to make it?"
"But we're in a nationally known marching band," Aria slowly and gently pushed the phone down. "we got a lot of attention."
"Yeah, we're on T.V." Ethan did a pose that Luna could only describe as something Lola would do. "We got the fame."
"We don't need no bowl," Luna added pounding her fist on the table.
"My brother's team is already eligible," Isaac added. "So my family doesn't need two."
"Come on guys focus we need to figure out if we can make the bowl." Melody held up the phone again only for Aria to put in back where it was.
"We don't need to worry," Aria whispered loud enough for everyone to hear. "We just need to win two games and we're golden."
"Yeah two," Ethan leaned against her and held up two fingers. "Only two."
"But even if we are eligible there's no guarantee we'll be in the bowl," Isaac pointed out. The group kept arguing when Luna got a text from some she hadn't heard from in a while.
Hey, how are you luv?
Hey Sam got that project done? Luna replied. She remembered how Sam was so busy with that. She had a lot of other work as well so they two hadn't been able to chat as much as Luna would like them to have.
Don't even get me started half my group was horrible Luna could just picture Sam's annoyed face as she read that.
I got time if ya need to rant luv
"Hey Luna get off your phone this is important," Melody said waving in her face. Luna swatted her hand away gently.
"So is this," she defended herself. "I'm texting Sam dude."
"Aww." Someone probably Aria said.
"Fine, you can keep chatting with her," Melody sighed and Luna smiled.
"Do we seriously have to watch this of all shows?" Luna poked her head out of the bathroom after she got out of the shower.
"Come on it's the season finale." One of the girls on the floor complained.
"What ya fighting 'bout this time?" Luna asked walking out in her pajamas.
"They want to watch American Singer," Melody explained walking over to Luna.
"I like the auditions they're funny," Aria said grabbing some popcorn.
"Melody at least agree it's better than America's Next Hitmaker," Tiffany said as she started flipping to the channel.
"Hitmaker was so stupid I mean you could tell who was going to win by their appearance," Liz said with an eye-roll. Aria handed her the bowl of popcorn.
Luna froze. She started getting flashbacks to the pink pop star she had to wear. Sure it seemed at what was needed to be done at first but it just wasn't her. If she was going to be famous it going to be as Luna Loud, not Lulu.
"Oh yeah it's always the cute boy from down soft or the super preppy pop girl," a girl named Callie added.
"Kind of the same in later seasons on American Singer," Aria pulled out her laptop as she said that. Liz lifted two cans of soda to Luna and Melody both girls took one.
"How could you say that?" Tiffany asked like it was the most offensive thing in the world.
"I'm serious for the past five seasons I have been able to predict the winner," Aria leaned over and handed Tiffany sheet of paper.
"Wow all of these are the finalist," Tiffany said looking over the list. A few other girls leaned over and looked at it.
"And the only one who isn't made the top five."
"This is my best year three of my picks made the top three." Aria leaned back on the couch.
"What are you going to write a paper on it?" Melody joked but Aria's eyes widened.
"Maybe I could."
"I didn't mean it literally," Melody sighed. "Who would even read that paper?"
"I dunno someone would."
"Oh if you do write something you need to bring up Lulu," Tiffany suggested. Luna almost choked on her soda. She never thought she'd hear that name again.
"Who's Lulu?" Aria asked.
"She was the girl set to win the second season of America's Next Hitmaker but she'd never appeared on the finale."
Aria's eyes widened even more and immediately started to look up this mysterious Lulu. Luna turned around and hoped there wasn't much information. Melody got a bit curious and walked over to Aria's laptop.
"Pssh," Aria started to laugh a little. "She looks like a rejected band member of the Popsies."
"The what?" Melody asked.
"The Popsies it was a brand of dolls." Aria opened up a different page and pulled up a picture of the Popsies. Luna now had to agree it did look like her Lulu persona. they all had brightly colored hair and clothes. The clothes themselves were covered in glitter.
"Oh I think I had one of those," Melody said looking at the pictures.
"I had Violet Glitter." Aria pulled up of a picture of the doll. She had long purple hair and dress with what looked like fairy wings on it.
"Okay let's back to Lulu."
Aria flipped back to the page. They searched the web to find information.
"Oh, there's her song!" Tiffany got super excited. "What Everybody Wants."
"I love that song!" Aria said to the surprise. "Hey, Luna want to hear something funny. This girl kinda sounds like you."
"Doubt it," Melody said before Luna could respond.
"I'll show you." Aria looked up Lulu's song and started to play it. The other girls started to slightly dance in their seats as the song played.
"Oh please like this is Luna," Melody said gesturing to the computer. "It's so autotuned and un Luna-like."
"I never said it was Luna," Aria defended herself.
"No, I mean why would Luna write that song. Luna is the queen of heavy metal no way would she write some pop song."
"Eh I kind of see where you're coming from but I always saw it as a parody. Lulu was saying everyone does this type of music so she'll just follow along."
"Oh, guys look the original non auto-tuned version!" Callie cheered pointing to the video. They clicked on it before Luna could even protest. The girls started to jam out to the song when Melody suddenly paused the video.
"Hey!" The other girls said at the same time.
"Hang on for a second." Meldoy rewound a few seconds and let it play. She then turned her attention to Luna. "This unauto-tuned Lulu sure sound like you Luna."
"Heh, funny," Luna said with a small laugh.
"Now I can't unhear it," Aria said with her eyes widen. "Wait wasn't Lulu from Michigan?"
"She was."
All the girls suddenly turned towards Luna. Nervously she took a step back.
"Hmm we got a girl who sounds like our beloved Luna, from the same state, and Luna is acting odd about this." Melody glared with a smile.
"Oh my gosh, you're Lulu!" Aria said standing up.
"Yeah I am," Luna said in defeat. The other girls started swarming around Luna. Most of them gushing about how awesome it was to be rooming with a minor celebrity.
"Honestly I'm surprised she admitted it," Melody said leaning on the wall.
"I honestly saw no point in denying it," Luna said breaking out of the crowd.
"Why did you quit you could have gotten a record deal?"
"I'll tell," Luna said sitting on the couch arm and the other girls surrounded. "I just hope you like stories about finding yourself."
