The next morning when Luna woke up she didn't see Aria. She walked over to the bathroom but she wasn't there either. Luna then smelled something cooking downstairs. Out of curiosity, she walked downstairs and saw Aria cooking on the stove.

"Morning Luna, you like pancakes?" Aria asked as she flipped another one.

"Yeah, I love them," Luna answered as Aria handed her a plate of them.

"Sorry that they're plain, I tried to wake you earlier but you wouldn't budge." Aria held in a laugh. "I was going to use pancakes to try to wake you if you weren't up when they're done. I also got some turkey bacon all cooked up if you want some."

"Thanks, bra," Luna slid a few pieces on her plate. "You didn't have to do this."

"It's no big deal, Melody and I would cook breakfast for each other all the time when we had a sleepover or once we started driving going and getting Creamy Coffee."

"That's cute," Luna said sitting down at the table.

"Want some Maple Syrup?" Aria asked holding a bottle of it.

"Of course," Luna took the bottle and poured some on her pancakes. She cut herself a piece of them and tried them. "Wow, Aria these are delicious."

"Thanks my grandpa taught me how to make them," Aria had a bite of them herself. "I've been making them since I was seven."

"Wow that's impressive," Luna enjoyed another bite of her pancakes. "So we're going to a high school football game today?"

"Yup you, me, and Melody are going to our high school's Thanksgiving football game. Well, that is if you want to."

"I'm down for it," Luna said as she poured herself some more milk. "But does your school do it differently than Royal Woods, they have their game tomorrow."

"They moved the game to today because they're worried about the cold."

"Is there snow?"

"Not on the schedule."

"Man you guys are weak, I once went to an outdoor winter concert in -2 weather."

"I was at a game last year that was so cold, my toes almost fell off." Aria leaned on the table was a sly smile on her face.

"You don't know cold until you go to Michigan in winter," Luna leaned back in her chair.

"You don't know weather until you live a New England winter."

The two girls, probably realizing how silly their argument was, started to laugh. They finished eating their breakfast and decided to spend the rest of the day watching GetFlix.

"You girls ready?" Melody asked walking in Aria's house.

"Melody you forgot to knock," Aria said not looking up from a book, though the tone of her voice made it seem like she was joking.

"You're mom gave me a spare key remember," Melody said and Aria stuck her tongue out. Melody rolled her eyes and sat next to Aria. "Come Ari you know I'm pretty much your sister."

Luna held in her laugh. There was just something so familiar, so warming about seeing the two friends interact. In her mind, they could be sisters. It was common to find friends who said they were like siblings but for Melody and Aria, they acted like it.

"So is the game home or away?" Luna asked from the backseat of Aria's car.

"Away," Aria said.

"About twenty minutes away," Melody sulked in her seat. Aria nudged her a little and Melody sat up a little. "Oh let's put on some tunes."

"I'm down to jam," Luna said nodding her head a little.

"Alright let's put on,"

"Ari no," Melody said before Aria could even put something on.

"What?"

"Wait till Friday."

Aria glared at Melody before pressing a button on her car radio. In that instant, a commercial played. Aria pressed a separate button and pop music started playing. With the mirror, Luna could see that Aria was annoyed by the music for some reason. Luna shrugged it off as Aria wasn't the biggest fan of pop music out there. Melody started singing along with the song currently playing on the radio.

"So how was your first night back?" Luna asked hoping to bring the conversation back.

"Eh quiet," Melody said leaning back in her seat a little. "The best part was seeing all my chickens are okay."

"Any new eggs?"

"My mom cooked them for her breakfast."

"If you bring noodle into this. I've said many times snakes cannot be vegetarian."

"I know its nature, I believe in nature."

"You act like Comet sometimes," Luna said with a small laugh.

"Comet?"

"The Buddish girl on a floor," Luna said and Aria nodded in agreement.

"I thought her name was Clare."

"She changed it bra."

"Oh cool."

"We're here, oh my god!" Aria said pulling into the school.

"Ari, you cool?" Luna asked.

"I think this is Damon's high school," Aria said as she pointed to the sign.

"No way we're playing Damon's school this year." Melody started to crack up after hearing that. "Oh, this is priceless."

"Glad my gf is in Michigan," Luna thought to herself as Aria parked the car. The girls walked out all bundled up and made they're way to the stadium. It looked like the Royal Woods high school. Of course, the away bleachers were not as well made as the home bleachers. The girls found some seats near where Luna assumed the band was going to sit. Aria spread some blankets on them beforehand. When she sat she got a cold shiver down her spine before warming up again. As Luna sat down she looked around and hardly saw anyone in the bleachers. Over time a few more people entered and took their seats. A few people came and sat near Aria and Melody. Before they even sat down Luna could tell a reunion between friends.

When the band finally did arrive Luna was taken aback a little. The band was really small. Sure she knew that the high school bands would be smaller than Amberheart's. High schools had a smaller population than colleges in general and fewer even enjoyed performing music but this high school band couldn't have more than thirty people in it.

"Wow the band sure is small this year," Aria said and Melody nodded.

"Well, people couldn't make it because of the switch," one of the guys said looking at the band. "My brother wouldn't have come if my mom didn't make him."

"He made a commitment to band and he should honor it," another guy said crossing his arms. Everyone else in the group nodded in agreement.

"Looks like Mrs. Webster isn't too happy about the turnout either." Melody pointed out. Luna looked over to the director. Despite her seeming not caring deminer, Luna guessed if she knew this woman better that she could tell when she was upset. Maybe it was that her arms were crossed or that she was focusing away from the band.

"Hopefully we can say hi to everyone," Aria said looking at the band.

"I don't know I don't trust some of those freshmen."

"Hey, one of those freshmen is my brother." The guy pushed the girl who said that but it was in a more joking way.

Soon the game began. Like in Amberheart the home team played the national anthem. One of the biggest difference from college and high school band is that the high school sat down when not playing. Could have been that she was used to college but seeing the band sit down made them seem less professional or less enthusiastic about music. The students made it seem the second choice was more likely. On more than one occasion she heard a groan whenever the band had to play a song.

"Where has the heart gone?" Aria asked shaking her head once she heard a groan.

"It left when you graduated." One of the older alumni said.

"That's not true Grace." Aria leaned back to face the girl behind her.

"You were voted Class Sunshine," Melody added.

Luna held in her laugh and turned back to the band. They started to line up for the halftime show. At least the drumline was. The game was going well for the home team. Luna looked over at Melody and Aria nether seemed too upset about their high school losing. In fact, they seemed to have excepted it. She looked behind her and no one seemed bothered. Sure they seemed upset but not a lot.

When it was finally halftime, Luna was quick to focus solely on the band. Unfortunately, her training in marching band made it easy for her to tell when someone was out of time. She felt bad for them a little giving them the benefit of the doubt and they didn't know they were off. The show itself was rather decent. It was a rock tribute show but it was really hard to tell when one song ended and the next began. Luna also noticed it was really short. Sure Amberheart's entire show was almost twenty minutes long but this show was barely six minutes.

"Wow this is upsetting," Melody said while also unknowingly agreeing with Luna.

"Yeah, it's so short."

"Have you guys not seen the show?" Luna asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Not in full." Everyone else started agreeing they weren't a fan of the length. When halftime was over the band left and didn't come back.

"Um, where did they go?" Luna asked noticing the lack of marching bands.

"They went for refreshments." Luna stared in disbelief. "They leave and get hot chocolate and snacks in the cafe."

"I'm getting hot chocolate," Aria announced standing up. "Anyone want some?"

Everyone agreed and they all got up. Aria grabbed her blankets to be safe. The group went down to the snack shack and stood n line patiently.

"Hey Aria look," Meldoy pointed to Damon walking away from the fornt window.

"Is that the famous Damon we've heard so much about," Clare said as Aria started to blush. Aria reminded silent. Luna looked over and saw Damon didn't seem to notice Aria and was talking to some old friends of his. Once everyone got their hot chocolate Aria snuck away to say hi to her boyfriend.

"Oh she didn't bring us," Melody complained.

"She wants to say hi," Luna defended her. Aria turned and waved for them to come over. "Come on let's say hi ourselves."
