An hour later, Joe was still unconscious. Stella was stroking his hair. A moment later, his eyes flickered open and Stella threw her arms around him.

"You're my hero," she whispered in his ear.

"Stel, I think we should tell them," Joe said as he pulled Stella closer to him.

"Tell us what?" Melissa asked. She was in the doorway with the others.

"That we're getting married," Stella said.

"Stella that's great! Congratulations!" Jody said and the others chorused in.

"Nick!" called a soft voice.

"Selena!" Nick said, hugging her.

"Yes," Selena Gomez said, causing Nick to stare at her with a confused expression. "Yes, I'll be your girlfriend," Selena laughed.

"That's great!" Nick blushed. "I think you guys know Selena. She's opening for us on the tour."

"Stella and Joe are getting married," Kevin told her.

"What! That's great! Congratulations, you guys!" Selena said as she hugged Stella. Stella had a feeling she was going to like Selena. "I hope we have time to get in some speed-skating before we leave," Selena said as Melissa's jaw dropped. "I just love Apolo Ohno!"

"No way!" Melissa and Stella cried. "Us too!" The three of them walked away from the group, chattering excitedly. Nick took the opportunity to call Apolo and Lindsay. They would arrive in ten minutes. Emily answered the phone when it rang and reported back to the others.

"One of Jesse's goons got loose and is out for revenge. There will be plainclothes detectives backstage. They said not to worry," she explained. At that moment, there was a knock at the door. Kevin opened it. Joe and Nick had positioned themselves behind Selena and Stella. It was a good thing, too, because they fainted when they saw Apolo. They quickly woke up and everyone started chattering. Soon, they felt like old friends.

"Joe, did you do this?" Stella asked. Joe was turning red and quickly hanged the subject.

"We should get to the arena and get ready," he said.

When they were ready, they all gathered back stage since there was still half an hour left before concert time.

"Where's Stella?" Lindsay and Selena asked at the same time as they watched two policemen lead Jesse's goon out of the building.

"Oh no. Now we have to search," Emily sighed. All this searching was becoming exasperating.

"Wait, I saw an old dressing room when I was exploring. Maybe she is in there," Melissa said.

"Let's go!" Kevin said, leading the way.

When they opened the door to the dressing, everyone's jaws dropped. Stella's wrists and ankles were duct taped to the floor, there was a strip of tape over her mouth, and she was unconscious. Lying on the floor next to her was a crow bar.

"Oh, Stella," Joe said as he cut the tape off of her with his pocketknife.

"There's a lump on her head. We shouldn't move her until she wakes up," Jody said after observing Stella's condition.

"Well, I'm not going on stage until she does," Selena and Joe said in unison. They smiled despite the situation. Joe gently lifted Stella's head into his lap and ran his hand through her hair. Selena began chafing her wrists. Nick guessed she had been unconscious for about an hour. About five minutes later, Stella woke up. She leaned on Joe for support and explained.

"I was exploring when I opened this door. I heard a noise, but before I could turn around, a hand was clapped over my mouth, I was pushed into the room, and the door closed. I was duct taped to the floor and gagged. This guy went on and on for about half an hour. All of a sudden, he raised a crow bar and everything went black."

"Now you're my hero," Joe whispered as he tenderly touched her cheek.

"Guys, Selena has two minutes to get onstage," Kevin said after consulting his watch. They all rushed back stage. Selena sang her heart out. She sang 'Naturally,' 'More,' 'Magic,' and 'Falling Down.' Kevin Joe and Nick performed all their hits. Their next concert just happened to be in Hawaii. While the girls, the brothers, and the Olympians waited for the limo, they were al wondering when another mystery would come along. As they were getting into the limo, they all yelled

"Surf's up, Hawaii!" and were on their way.
