AN: So this took way longer than anticipated. But here it is! Originally, this was going to be even longer. But I decided it best to split into two halves, as the two stories sort of felt like two separate entities anyway. So I finished up the first half and here we are! Second half will hopefully be up by the end of the month.

This chapter is sort of special as a lot of jokes and a lot of references I've been trying to make from the beginning finally reared their heads. A lot of obscure references were other things I had been watching the same weekend I wrote and posted the first chapter.

I hope you guys enjoy, and not to be this person, but reviews, even to just say "great chapter", really do mean a lot to me. It lets me know that people other than myself are enjoying this.

"Press etiquette class starts now!" Gustavo's voice was authoritative, and came as a loud boom, causing all four women to jump slightly in their seats. "You have a hit song and a video that has over a million views in the first week. Now we need to kick it into high gear." He paused momentarily, before pointing towards a large poster board that he had behind him. The board was full of small colored rectangles that girls were unable to decipher from their seats. "I have a full schedule booked for you. Radio interviews, magazines, TV talk shows! One hit song isn't enough. You have to be seen and heard in order to not fade away into obscurity."

Raising an eyebrow inquisitively, Callie questioned "And a Gustavo Roque crash course on press etiquette involves what, exactly?"

It was Kelly who stepped in with a cheerful tone and prepared answer "It's mostly about learning how to choose your words wisely while on the spot. They are certain things you can and can't say, but we can help you prepare with the questions they're most likely to ask you!"

With an eyeroll, Auden replied "So you're turning us into a bunch of Delias, is what you're saying? I don't want to be a little baby pigeon."

Clearing her throat, and eyes narrowing at Auden, Delia then supplied "The pesky bee has a point." Refocusing on Kelly and Gustavo, Delia continued, "I'm already quite skilled in the art of articulation and word choice. For me to attend such a 'crash course', as you so eloquently worded it, seems counterproductive for me."

Raising both of his eyebrows, Gustavo merely quipped "And do you think the seven year old girls buying your albums are going to understand half of the words that just came out of your mouth?"

"Oh snap!" Callie gasped, as she gave Auden a fist bump.

"We still want you to be yourselves," Kelly tried to answer Auden's original question "We just want you to be the best versions of yourself that you can be."

"And the most marketable!" Gustavo added. "And since it's close to Christmas time, the first TV interview we booked for you is going to let you perform I'm Okay, and your Christmas song with Big Time Rush."

The three girls other than Brooke audibly groaned. The blonde looked at the other three quizzically, before asking "What was that about?"

"Ugh, no offense, since you're dating one of them," Callie began to explain. "But everything related to them in our career has been unnecessarily complicated."

Delia nodded, adding "I'm sure you recall how easy it was to shoot the I'm Okay video, and I'm certain that if you took a moment to think about why that may be, you'd draw the same conclusion yourself."

"Drawing dicks on Gustavo's stuff is funny when we're not working, but they do stuff like that all the time." Auden replied "And they're probably going to fuck the interview up somehow, too."

"First lesson!" Gustavo cried, before spraying water from a spray bottle that had been sitting on the table into Auden's face "You need to watch the potty mouth."

"WHAT THE FUCK" she screamed, as Gustavo continuously squirted the bottle in her face.

"The more you swear, the more I'm going to squirt you."

Trying in vain to swat the bottle out of his hands "Well if you keep squirting me I'm going to swear more Jesus Christ on a motherfucking cracker!"

Kelly, Brooke, Callie and Delia all tilted their heads to the side in unison, as Brooke sighed "This is going to go on for a while."

The next day, the girls were back stage at the Mary Hayes show. While getting their hair and makeup had just finished, Auden frowned as she glanced down at her red and white flannel top that was opened over a solid red v-neck, grey leggings and black boots, and scrunched her nose up at the mirror again as her eyes caught the obnoxious red scrunchie holding the messy teal bun on the top of her head in place. "I still don't get this rainbow shit."

Gustavo squirted her boots with water – he would've gone for the face had her hair and makeup not been done – as he attempted to explain, "It's a marketing plot. The colors represent your personalities."

Kelly then smiled, elaborating, "For example, red is often associated with danger, power, determination and passion. And that's you! Orange," she offered, gesturing a hand towards Kendall, who, despite the navy blue beanie, was wearing an orange and blue flannel top over a white t shirt, grey jeans and orange converse "represents enthusiasm, fascination, creativity and encouragement."

A smug smirk appeared on his face as Kendall supplied "Sounds like me."

Gesturing a hand towards Brooke in her yellow cardigan, white camisole, yellow skirt and white flats, a yellow bow tied to the end of her braid, Kelly continued "Yellow is often tied with intellect, energy, and happiness. And green," she then gestured to Logan, who was wearing a dark green cardigan over a light green t shirt, as well as darkwash jeans and black sneakers. "represents harmony, endurance and stability."

Callie – who was wearing a sapphire blue silk top with black fight fitting pants and blue high heels - then pressed "Well you can't just tell half of us. The rest of us want to know what our outfits are subliminally telling the masses!"

With a slight giggle and a shake of her head, Kelly conceded "Well, blue can mean a lot of things. Most commonly, confidence, intelligence, and trust." Callie gave a nod, impressed with the answer. "Purple," Kelly continued – now gesturing towards James and his shiny purple button up shirt and grey dress pants, "symbolizes things like luxury, ambition, and extravagance."

"Well," James smiled, tilting his head as if to toss his hair back "I am pretty extravagant."

Bouncing up and down like a puppy, Carlos cried "Me next! Me next!". His helmet bounced up in down, almost flopping onto his plain white v neck t shirt.

"White is tied to a lot of great things!" Kelly beamed. "Light, goodness, innocence. And black," she started, everyone's eyes now on Delia and the solid black halter styled dress she wore with black heels and a thick black ribbon tied into her red hair like a head band. And for a moment, Kelly faltered, before offering "…stands for…mystery…-a-and elegance…."

"And villainy." Delia supplied, her tone somehow both bored and bitter. "And evil. And death. Glad to know what you all think of me."

Snickering, James turned to Auden and Kendall as he muttered "Well it's not wrong."

Red hair whipped around so quickly it almost looked like a cape as she threatened "Do you want to say that to my face, or are you afraid I'll slap yours?"

James rolled his eyes, reaching down to pat the shortest on the head as he reminded her "You can't even reach my face."

"I'd say you've sunk low enough for me to reach." She replied, eyes narrowing as she craned her neck upwards to glare at him.

Eyes widening and arms flailing widely, Logan asked "Why is she so angry all of a sudden?!"

Callie gently placed a hand on Logan's shoulder from behind him, lowering her voice to a warm murmur as she explained gingerly. "Gustavo really broke her down yesterday."

"I think literally." Auden whispered to the two boys standing next to her "Probably replaced some of her parts, making her an even more undetectable robot."

Delia, who was still standing in front of James, screamed "I'M! RIGHT! HERE!"

"ENOUGH!" Gustavo bellowed. "In five minutes, ABCD is going to go on Mary Hayes' daytime talk show. It will be your first public appearance, and if you look like anything LESS than super talented best friends, the label WILL drop you. It is VITAL that this goes well, so get off your asses and start acting like adults!"

Picking up his spray bottle, Auden pulled the trigger, water misting his face as she simply stated "You said asses."

And they went on. They were welcomed, the crowd cheered, and in order of height, out walked Delia and Callie who sat next to each other, and Brooke and Auden, who sat behind the shorter two girls. Mary smiled and shook all of their hands as she gave them a fake smile that put Delia's to shame, as she spoke unusually cheerfully "Welcome to the show girls! It's honestly such an honor to have you!"

"It's an honor to be here." Brooke replied, her smile cute and genuine, just like she'd practiced with Kelly and Gustavo for hours the afternoon prior.

"So your first single, I'm Okay, is all over the radio, your Christmas music video with Big Time Rush already has two million views, what is it like to become so famous over night?" Mary inquired.

"It hasn't quite been overnight." Callie replied with a smile, tucking a strand of black hair behind her ear. "Working with talent like Gustavo Roque, and like the guys of Big Time Rush, has been extremely humbling. We're getting traction, but there's still a long way to go."

"That doesn't mean we're not thrilled of how far we've gotten already," Auden added, just as Gustavo had scripted. "It's still so cool to just be going for a walk or headed out to eat and to hear your own voice on the radio. It's not something everyone gets to experience and we're all so super grateful for it."

"And speaking of things to be grateful for!" Mary then smiled a little more slyly, "The holidays are coming up, and three of you are dating the very cute boys of Big Time Rush, any plans to get cozy under the mistletoe?"

"Three?!" all four girls repeated, eyes widening as they glanced at each other.

"Well, James and Callie have been together since before we even knew who you ladies were…" Mary started.

"And he's such a great guy." Callie interrupted. She knew she had to talk about James, Gustavo had prepped her on it. Their fake dating was the biggest marketing ploy of all, after all. "And I've been so thankful for all the time we've gotten to spend together, since we're both so busy working on our own careers."

Mary nodded, before turning to Brooke as she continued "And shortly after your Christmas video came out, pictures of you and Carlos starting circulating."

A slight blush rising in her cheeks, Brooke nodded before replying "Uh, yeah. Carlos and I have been together for a little while now. It's all still very new, but he's just such a fun and positive person to be around. It's hard not to want to be around him, you know?"

"And then Logan and Delia have mostly been able to stay out of the spotlight, but magazines have seen you two holding hands and on what seems like a lot of ice cream dates…"

Delia, who'd been taking a sip of the water bottles placed out for the band, started to choke on her water. Unbeknownst to the girls on set, Logan, who was watching the whole thing with Gustavo, Kelly, and the rest of Big Time Rush on a monitor backstage, spit the water he'd been drinking out onto the monitor.

"Dude," James shook his head "We were watching that."

Back in front of the cameras, Delia was shaking her head furiously. "Oh no, no no no. Logan is just a friend. A close friend. A best friend. But nothing more."

Quirking an eyebrow at the redhead, Mary leaned in, observing "You seem awfully defensive about this."

Delia took a breath and a second to recompose herself before opting to respond. "I love Logan. He's the closest connection I have here in LA. He's quite honestly the only person who I feel like I can be myself around. I love him, but like a brother. Part of the reason why our friendship is so strong is because I don't want anything more than friendship and neither does he. We're on the same page, and it's a beautiful connection to have, especially with someone you've just met."

"But this is all still new, that could change in the future, couldn't it?" Mary pressed.

"Could it?" Delia replied "Yes. Absolutely. Anything's possible. But will it? I don't think it will, honestly."

Mary seemed a little disappointed, she was likely looking for a juicier confession to happen on her show. "So if Delia has officially put Logan back on the table…"

"…he was never mine to take off the…"

"…what about you, Auden? Gonna sneak in there and scoop up some Mitchell?"

Auden snorted from laughing so hard. "Oh goodness, no. Again, great guy. Love him like a brother. But hard pass romantically."

"Kendall is also single, would either of you ladies ever want him to be your Knight in shining armor, if you catch my drift?"

Delia shook her head, as Auden countered "Is he really single, though? I think he's seeing someone behind all of our backs. Paparazzi, if you're watching this, follow Kendall Knight around closely. I think he's seeing someone. You can quote me as a close personal friend of the source."

With a giggle and toss of her blonde curls, Brooke then explained "Kendall and Auden have been locked in an escalating series of dares and pranks, pretty much from day one. They're always trying to one up each other, and it's been a lot of fun to watch. But please don't take what she just said seriously."

Auden conceded "In all seriousness, Kendall is one of my best friends and there's almost nothing I wouldn't do for him. Or with him, for that matter. We're going bungee jumping on Thursday."

Turning to the camera, Mary spoke "Well, it's time for our commercial break, but when we come back we'll have the girls sing their hit sing, I'm Okay, and we'll follow up with Big Time Rush themselves! Stayed tuned."

As the girls went backstage, they were met with happy expressions from the boys and Kelly, and a neutral expression from Gustavo. "Wow!" Carlos beamed, immediately wrapping Brooke into a hug. "You girls did great! I'm so proud of you!"

Glancing at her phone, Kelly then informed the younger adults "And Twitter is going crazy about the interview. Fans are suggesting new dares and pranks for Kendall and Auden to try on each other, and #DeloganBreakup is trending in California!"

"We were never dating!" Logan cried, exasperated.

With a snort, Carlos added "Delia made good and sure everyone knew that!"

"Suddenly little miss perfect word choice isn't looking so perfect. It was hilarious to watch The Little Mermaid flounder like that!" Auden laughed.

Her tone cool and distant, Delia replied. "So? I'm fallible. All humans are."

"At least we know she's not a robot." Kendall joked.

The smile on his face vanished, however, as Delia stuck a finger in his face as she threatened "Do. Not. Talk. To. Me." She paused, and then waved her finger between both Auden and James as she added "You two, either."

"What crawled up her ass and died?" James asked as Delia stormed into the bathroom.

Narrowing her eyes, Callie scoffed "Are you seriously asking that?". She was met by James' eager nod. "She's mad that the three of you were spying on her to gather intel to prove she was a robot."

"You what?!" Kelly exclaimed.

Shaking her head, Auden hushed Kelly, muttering "Look, that's not important now. What's important is figuring out how she found out. Who told her?"

"No, that's not what's important!" Callie cried "What's important is that three people who were supposed to be her friends betrayed her trust and made her feel like an outsider. It was a really shitty thing to do, it made Delia feel really shitty, it makes you really shitty people, and I hope you feel really shitty about it."

Eyes narrowing, Auden then accused "You were the one who told her, weren't you? If you could've kept your whore mouth shut for another few days she'd be bitching at us after our first live performance instead of right before it."

Callie had opened her mouth to respond, but was cut off by Logan seething "Do. Not. Talk. To. Her. Like. That. Take it back. Now."

"Why should I?" Auden scoffed. "I meant it."

"Because I told Delia." Logan confessed, still shaking with anger. "Because you guys are supposed to be a band and she deserved to know what you were doing and saying behind her back. So, she's a little weird. But she's still a really nice person, who deserves to be treated like a human being."

"When was all of this even going on?" Brooke questioned. "I honestly had no idea."

"Of course you didn't." Callie sighed, running a hand through her hair as she muttered "You've been too deep in puppy love to notice anything minorly unpleasant."

"And just what is that supposed to mean?" Brooke asked.

"Kelly, go get Delia from the washroom." Gustavo instructed quietly. As she left, he bellowed "LISTEN UP! You are all grown ass adults, and it's time to start acting like it. I'm done with this childish bickering." As Kelly returned with Delia in tow, he continued. "The girls go back on in less than a minute and then the dogs are going on with them. You're all here because you're professionals, so you better start acting like it. If I have to listen to one more childish fight today, you can kiss your careers goodbye. All of you."

As the girls went back on set, performing I'm Okay, the tension was still palpable. Most viewers wrote off the weird atmosphere as first time jitters, and Gustavo prayed that it would fade by the time they got to the Christmas song.

The guys watched them perform, all standing a cautious distance from each other. Callie was right about one thing, Kendall did feel really shitty about the whole Delia situation. Watching her out there was awful. All four girls were undoubtedly off of their game, but Delia was noticeably so. With knots in his stomach, Kendall walked over to where Logan was standing, putting a hand on his shoulder as he asked "Hey, you and Delia are really close, right?"

Logan nodded, slowly glancing up at Kendall, before letting out a small "Yeah. Yeah we are."

"You know her better than anyone else. And I feel awful about everything." Kendall admitted with a sigh, before finally getting to the point "I want to do something to make it up to her. But I don't really know anything about her. I was hoping you could maybe help come up with an idea."

Logan nodded silently for a moment, before a soft smile tugged at his lips. "I think I may have an idea." Turning around, he motioned at the other two members of Big Time Rush. "Carlos, James, come here. I have an idea. I'd like your input."

The crowd went wild as the girls finished their song, the awkward air between dissipating only a little. "Weren't they fantastic?!" Mary cried to her audience. "I'm Okay is the first single of off ABCD's upcoming album, and here to sing their new hit Christmas duet Perfect Christmas with them is Big Time Rush!"

Immediately the teenage girls in the audience started screaming, the guys smiling as they all walked on set, moving to stand next to their vocal partner in the song. "So, boys, what was it like collaborating with the girls on this song?"

"It was a really fun process." Carlos answered. "We'd met the girls before, but it was the first time we really got to know them. And they're all so talented and so great to work with."

James then added "What's really great about it is that thanks to this project, we're all friends. And these girls are some of the greatest people you could ask to be friends with."

"It's interesting, too," Kendall added, "Because the guys and I, we started as four hockey players from Minnesota who loved to sing. These girls had never met before auditioning for Gustavo, but there's already such a strong bond between them and I think I speak for all of us when I say that it's really amazing to witness that so early in their careers."

"As a matter of fact," Logan chuckled, "We were all kind of in a big fight backstage, and the girls were fighting with each other just as badly as we were. Fighting just like best friends who've known each other for years. It's amazing how deeply they already care for each other."

"Well, I certainly hope you made up!" Mary joked awkwardly.

With a nod, Kendall answered "We're still working on a way to make it up to a certain someone in particular. But we're working on it. Because we care about these girls as much as we care about each other."

At this, the audience let out a collective 'awww', and Mary took that as her queue to cry "Well enough talking, how would you like to hear some Christmas music?"

The audience cheered, and they all took their places, starting with the same simple choreography from the music video.

Brooke's voice rang out first

"Hello friend, it's me again
I just called to tell you,
Even though I miss you so
I've been thinking of you
All my dreams are coming true, at last...oooh"

Carlos took her hand, spinning her into a cuddle as he sang

"The perfect ending to a wonderful year
Will be to celebrate the good times with you here
Cuz I know,
For sure,
I never wanted anything more"

The young adults shifted, moving to dance around Kendall and Auden, who were standing front and center, singing the chorus in unison.

"The greatest gift that there could be
Wrapped underneath my Christmas tree
Would be the same my whole life through
I'd spend the perfect Christmas with you
Though the winter seems so long
My faith in love has kept me strong
So if I had a wish come true
I'd send the perfect Christmas with you"

Still dancing in perfect unison they shifted again, allowing the focus to fall on Logan as he sang

"I can't wait
Till the day
When I finally see you
So hold on
I wont be long
Got so much to show you
All our dreams are coming true at last...ooh"

Callie walked up next to him, leaning the arm that wasn't holding her microphone on his shoulder as she sang

"The perfect ending to a wonderful year
Would be celebrate the good times with you here
Cuz I know
For sure
I never wanted anything more"

Now standing on opposite sides of the stage, Carlos, Brooke, Logan, Callie, James and Delia danced between Auden and Kendall as they sang once again

"The greatest gift that there could be
Wrapped underneath my Christmas tree
Would be the same my whole life through
I'd spend the perfect Christmas with you"

As James belted out his "Woah woah" he took hold of Delia's hand, the two walking closer to the front of stage as they sang

"So when you ask me what I mean
To me the Christmas is complete"

Delia sang her line "Boy can't you see" completely as rehearsed.

James, however, belted "You're the one thing missing for me" while tucking an invisible strand of hair behind her ear, slowly and gently caressing her cheekbone with his thumb, which was entirely unchoreographed, which a keen eyed viewer may have caught from the puzzled smile on her face as he did so.

The cameras then changed focus once again to Kendall and Auden, as they finished up the song

"The greatest gift that there could be
Wrapped underneath my Christmas tree
Would be the same my whole life through
I'd spend the perfect Christmas with you
Though the winter seems so long
My faith in love has kept me strong
So if I had a wish come true
I'd send the perfect Christmas"

The camera then cut to a close up of Auden's face as she sang "And if I had one wish come true..."

Kendall wrapped his arms around her as they sang "I'd spend the perfect Christmas here..."

"With you." He finished, before leaning over to kiss Auden's temple, as she shoved him off of her with a playful smile on her face.

"Wasn't that wonderful?" Mary cried to her audience. "Almost makes me wish there was a Roque Records Christmas album! When we come back, we'll show you four surprising uses for avocado!"

Backstage, Gustavo's eyes widened. "That's brilliant."

Following the show, tensions seemed to be a little better. The girls had all more or less made up, though Delia was still distant, and was spending anytime that wasn't on the clock walled up in her room. Callie had tried to talk to her first. Brooke had tried a few hours later, and Auden even gave a very heartfelt apology through the door. Nothing was working.

Running a hand through her hair, Callie sighed. She'd taken a walk, and ended up exactly where she knew she would. She needed to get out of the apartment – she'd recommended that Brooke and Auden do the same, in order to give Delia some much needed time to be truly alone. But as much as she knew Delia needed the space, she also knew that she needed to clear her own head. Her thoughts had been all jumbled lately, and the current situation wasn't doing much to help.

However…

There was one thing that had came to her amidst all the frustration. Perhaps the most jumbled of her thoughts, previously, suddenly all made sense. It was so clear now. Which was why she wasn't at all surprised when she found herself outside of the boys' apartment, knocking on the door. To her relief, it was Logan who answered. "Hey." She greeted. "Can I talk to you? Alone?"

As soon as he shut the door behind him to join her outside, she told him "You are full of shit."

Needless to say, this baffled him. "What?"

"You're all 'if the circumstances were different blah blah blah' and 'too big of a risk blah blah blah' and you tricked me into thinking you were right. But you're not!" she cried, an accusatory finger resting in front of his face. "With everything that's been happening, I'm done hiding things from the people I care about. Will we have to hide it from the press? Of course. But tons of people date in secret. ABCD may not last, I might have to go back to Ohio…" she sighed, moving to take one of his hands in hers "…and I don't want to waste any time that I have with you thinking what if. It's the only life we've got, Logan. We gotta live it big time."

He sighed, eyes staring down at the ground, before looking back up at her, nodding as he admitted "You make a good point. I can't really argue with my own band's philosophy."

"I knew you wouldn't." she giggled.

Shaking his head, he then interjected "But we have to be smart about this. We have to tells James. He has to know before things get any messier than they already are. And it will have to be very, very discreet. We can't look like anything more than friends outside of our own homes."

Callie nodded. "We'll make it work."

With a smile, Logan then had an idea. "Hey, so, whiplash of subject matter, I know, but Kendall and I are sort of working on doing something for Delia, and we could use your help, if you were interested."

Raising an eyebrow, Callie inquired "It doesn't involve robots, does it?"

Chuckling, he shook his head "Not this time, I'm afraid."

Delia was very reluctant about the whole situation. Callie and Logan had promised that it would be fun, and that she would love it, and all she needed to do was trust them. But they had blindfolded her and put her in a car and refused to take the blindfold off or tell her where they were taking her. When the car had finally stopped, she thought she was going to be able to finally remove the blindfold. "Ah ah ah!" Callie cried, grasping the redhead's forearm to prevent her from removing the blindfold. "Not just yet."

As Callie helped her out of the car and practically dragged her along, Logan began to explain "This was actually mostly Kendall's idea, so I think it's best to let him explain…"

"He's not here, is he?" Delia had whined.

"Yes, yes I am." Kendall answered back.

It was James' voice that spoke next as she heard "And while it was Kendall's idea, I want to take credit for it, too. Because we both feel like giant turds."

"We're all here." Came Brooke's voice. "Because even if we weren't directly involved, we should've been paying more attention. We shouldn't have let it get out of hand."

"I know you're a fragile little baby pigeon," Auden tried, "But I didn't ever really stop to think about how this would all effect you. Especially since you apparently aren't a robot. It was super shitty and I was a real dick."

"That's all well and good." Delia sighed "But I still haven't the foggiest notion where we are or why I needed to be blindfolded for this apology."

"We're getting to it!" James' voice rang with excitement.

Kendall's hands then rested on her shoulders as he steered her in the direction she was supposed to be walking in. "You could've really used some friends this past week. And your Florida friends obviously weren't around, and your California friends obviously weren't doing a very good job. And we'll never really have the same relationship that you have with your Florida friends. But at the end of the day…" he paused, as he let Logan undo the blindfold "…isn't friendship universal?"

Delia gasped, opening her eyes to witness the Universal Studios globe spinning outside the theme park.

"We know you miss home, especially lately." Logan tried to surmise, "And even though the west coast version is a lot smaller than what you have out east…"

"And this…" Delia glanced up at Kendall "…this was your idea?"

He nodded, before gesturing to Auden and James standing beside him. "It was, but these two really wanted to make it up to you, too. So we all pitched in and bought day tickets for all of us."

To everyone's surprise, Delia then pulled the three tallest into a hug – although her little arms only really managed to wrap around James on one side and Auden on the other, not quite making it to Kendall in the middle. "I love this. I love you guys. Thank you."

Standing off to the side with Logan, Carlos and Brooke, and Callie chuckled "What happened to the Delia who didn't even like any of us?"

"That was before you bought me Universal tickets!" she squealed, tightening the hug she was still holding Auden, Kendall and James in.

Auden then stiffened, before pulling her way out of the hug. "Okay, that's enough mushy gushy touchy feely for me."

"Party pooper." Kendall taunted, sticking his tongue out.

Rolling her eyes, Auden moved walk between the boys and Delia, effectively ending the hug. "But I did get something else done for you." Reaching into the leather bag she carried on her, she pulled out a plastic CD case, handing it to the redhead "It's a bunch of songs that lyrics sort of fit you. And make your weird robot like tendencies sound like a good thing."

Looking over the tracklist, crystal blue eyes lit up as she gasped "Aicha? Like Gellieman Aicha?"

"Of course!" Auden cried, genuinely excited. Posing dramatically, she began singing "So sweet,"

"So beautiful," Delia supplied

The two sang together "Everyday like a queen on her throne!"

"Don't nobody know how she feel…" Auden sang before nodding at the redhead "See, that's you."

Jaws dropped as they watched the two sing and head to the turnstile entrance, Logan turned to the other five and asked "What…just happened there?"

"The start of a beautiful, very strange friendship." Brooke offered.
