Damn, I got three reviews in the first two days after the last chapter was posted. It was pretty cool! Now I want more reviews! Just to see how I'm doing and stuff too.

starkidllamas-llama: You only know a bit of her secret. There's a bit more that you could never guess ;)

TearsOfaClown: Well, obviously Meredith's got a secret, Joey's got a secret, Lauren's got a secret, and Dylan owes two people a lot of money for a special surprise. Oh, and apparently two of the StarKids are related. I had thought it was kinda obvious! (sarcasm)

Rylie: You'll find out what the other secrets are soon. In the meanwhile, try guessing the hidden parts to the secrets I let out already :)

Starkidwhovian: Here's more for ya babydoll.

Ms Lean Gillies: Of course we'll write more! All three of us write a little bit of each chapter for the best outcome :) And just PM me what you want your reference to be!

Disclaimer: I do not own Team StarKid or the people. I also don't own Meredith's secret cause it was a good friend of mine who came up with it (her name is Ingrid and she plays Meredith in my Twitter StarKid RPG).

Three Months after Lauren's Accident

Lauren and Joe still aren't talking. And the StarKids are now getting ready for their month-long vacation to Colorado.

Alex loaded her bags onto the bus and took a spot on a top bunk close to the back of the bus, preferring the quiet of the back than the rowdiness of the front. She tried to braid her hair when she was done, but she was failing horribly, and she let out a loud huff at her failure. She was about to turn around and go back into the manor to get a lemonade before she felt a hand in her hair, and she smiled.

"Why the hell did I ever teach you to braid my hair?" Alex laughed and Brosenthal chuckled behind her.

"Because I asked and threatened you if you didn't teach me." She crossed her arms and turned to him once he was done with her hair. "So this is the bunk you're chilling in?" Alex nodded and grinned.

"My favorite one if you ask me." She looked around and felt at her braid. "Brian, you actually did a good job!" He laughed and shook his head, throwing his bag onto the bunk underneath her's.

"Found my bunk." Brosenthal smirked at Alex and she just shook her head, and she turned around to get into her bunk. She tried lifting herself inbut that didn't work, and she was just about to sit in Brosenthal's bunk when he placed his hands on her waist and lifted her up. She smiled gratefully and sat in her bunk, swinging her legs out. He lifted himself up into the bunk next to her and grinned.

"I also brought you this." He flourished out a can of lemonade and she gasped, taking it in her hands.

"You're the bestest friend ever, Bri!" She smiled and drank her lemonade before handing it to him, and they finished the can in a comfortable silence, their hands brushing each time they passed the can.

Joey took his phone out of his pocket and called her.

"Hello?" She answered, slightly nervous, and he bit his lip.

"It's me. I found a lawyer that'll divorce us for free." He said, and he could hear her let out a little cheer before returning to the phone.

"Good. When can we get it done?" She asked, and he waved at Jaime, who was waiting in the airport for him. He started walking towards her as he replied.

"It'll have to be during vacation." He replied, and he sighed. "Jaime's here, I have to go."

Before reaching Jaime, he hung up the phone and smiled at her.

"Hey handsome, who were you talking to?" She asked as she wrapped her arms around Joey's torso. He hugged her back and shook his head.

"Just my parents." He replied, and Jaime smiled at him, although she somewhat knew what was going on. Still they both pretended like nothing was wrong and left the airport.

Joe got onto the bus to discover that the only bunk left open for him was right underneath Lauren's, and he cursed inwardly, plastering a wide smile to his face as he walked towards the bunk.

He sat on his bunk and checked his phone for unread messages and tweets. He smiled at the nice tweets his fans kept sending him and then finally moved onto his text messages.

Most of them were from his parents, so after replying to them he opened the conversation thread he had with Lauren before their big 'feud' several months earlier. He thought back to the fight during rehearsal six months ago and frowned, the memories engulfing him completely as he lay down on his bunk.

*Begin flashback*

Joe walked into the rehearsal space and smiled, high-fiving Meredith and fist-bumping Alex while walking towards an empty corner of the room to set down his stuff. He could see Julia, Jaime, and Lauren whispering to each other, Lauren looking like she was about to cry. Jaime kept stealing glances towards him and Julia was trying to comfort Lauren (or at least, that's what he thought).

"Guys, rehearsal's starting now!" Brolden called out and Joe instantly forgot about what Lauren was crying about, getting into position to start the warm ups.

"Just talk to him, okay?" Jaime's voice broke through his thoughts and he frowned, not sure what she was saying and to who, but he quickly forgot about it again when everyone started singing.

After the warm ups, they had to get into groups to practice for Holy Musical Batman!, and Lauren kept messing up her dance routine, so Joe had to help her (because he was the only person who knew all of the dance routines).

"Okay Lauren, just one more time, and then you can go over your lines on your own." Joe was speaking in a soft tone so he wouldn't make her cry or yell at him and she nodded. She started going over the movements and missed her cue, so he stopped her.

"What now?" She snapped at him, and he shrunk back a little bit.

"I just want you to remember to get your cue, Lo. That's all." He smiled a her, and instead of taking a deep breath to try again, she broke.

"Look, I think I'm doing it just fine, so you can stop nagging me about it!" Lauren yelled at him, and the room went silent. Joe was shocked. They had always been best friends, so he wasn't sure why he was being yelled at by his best friend.

"I'm not nagging you Lauren!" He barely noticed his voice raising as well and he crossed his arms. "I'm just trying to help you!"

"Well I don't need your help!" She crossed her arms, taking a step forward, and she matched his volume of voice in anger. Joe was about to reply to that when Lauren continued, and her next words broke his heart.

"I don't need anything from you, so leave me alone!" She shoved him as hard as she could and ran out of the room, all of the StarKids—including Joe—completely baffled by what just happened.

"Dude, I'm sorry." Darren reached out to pat his shoulder but Joe just shrugged it off, and he grabbed his stuff before leaving the rehearsal. When he got back to the manor, that's when he let himself cry.

*End flashback*

Joe sighed and shook his head, not sure why Lauren was so upset, but he was hoping he'd be able to find out soon. Lauren still wouldn't talk to him, and Joe was still hurt, so whenever she sent him text messages saying that they needed to talk, he'd ignore them, knowing that if it was really important, Lauren would tell him to his face.

AJ looked at the time on his watch nervously and started to pace, waiting. After what seemed like an eternity (but was really only a minute), his phone rang exactly at eleven in the morning and he answered it quickly.

"Hello?" He fidgeted and almost started pacing, but decided against it for fear that he would know.

"Hello, Mr. Holmes. This is Officer Prescott, as usual." The voice on the other end of the phone was almost sympathetic, and AJ knew where this was going. But still, he wanted to hear him say it.

"Did you find him?" He asked almost frantically, and Officer Prescott sighed, confirming AJ's thoughts.

"I am sorry to say that he was not found, and neither was his accomplice. You have to stay there." He replied, and AJ sighed.

"Yeah, I know. Okay bye." He hung up on the officer before he got a reply and slowly walked towards the bus.

"Hey, are you okay AJ?" Julia asked as she ran past him, and he nodded, straining a smile.

"Yeah, just tired." He gave her a thumbs up and she returned it before running towards the bus to catch up with Darren.

But only AJ knew that he was lying. And only AJ knew what was coming next.

I know, this chapter didn't have much of anything, but it was an important stepping stone in the story!

Please review, and remember, if you want a reference you have to PM me your name/nickname and what you want the situation to be, and I'll try to make it fit into the story!
