The next morning, Katie snuck back into the garden shed to get ready for the day, then ran to the main house. Gail called her into the living room though, as well as Bev, and she 'convinced' Katie to let Bev use her voice to get a record deal. Katie pulled out her best acting because she knew that Guy was working on freeing her from her step-family.
At school, Katie explained to Angela what was going on. Just as they were getting comfortable in the practice room, a couple of voices were heard from the hallway.
"Hide!" Angela urged. The two girls ran to the recording booth and ducked into it just as Luke and Mickey entered the room.
"You ain't about to serenade a brother are you?" Mickey joked as Luke set up a mic and amp.
"Dude, there is a fine line with bromance and I have a girlfriend." Luke said lightly.
"Are you going to ask her to the dance tonight?"
"Yes, though-"
Luke was cut off by Katie's voice as she exited the booth. Angela was close behind. "And when were you going to ask me lover boy?"
"When I saw you next," was Luke's answer. "Katie, would you like to be my date for the dance tonight?"
"I'd love to." Katie answered with a smile. She turned to Mickey. "I'm Katie Gibbs by the way, Luke's girlfriend and Dean Van Ravensway's step-daughter."
"I know who you are, but it's a pleasure to officially meet you. I'm Mickey O'Malley. And who's your fine friend?" Mickey asked Angela.
Angela smirked. "Down boy. Don't want to seem too eager. I'm Angela. I don't have a date for the dance either. Care to be mine?"
Mickey grinned. "I'd love to."
Luke and Katie watched their friends in amusement but then they all turned to the mic, amp, and guitar that Luke had set up.
"So what's all of this for?" Katie asked.
Luke happily explained. "Mickey, a talent scout by the way, introduced (I think that's the right word. We were in the loo though.) me to a group called Oral Majority. They were amazing! When I first heard them (in the loo remember) the first thing I thought was- great acoustics! The second thing I thought was to give them this song."
Luke sang through the song 'Knockin'' with a little help from Mickey and ended the song with the girls applauding.
"Man! That was amazing!" Mickey exclaimed. "It reminds me of Danger Fruit."
Both Katie and Luke smirked, amused. Katie was the one that explained, "He produced and wrote their album."
"Seriously!? I love that album! It took me forever to find the bootleg for that online." Mickey was excited, they could tell. "If you give Oral Majority your song, then we are going to have a great showcase."
"Of course we are, I'm the producer." Luke said confidently.
Katie suddenly stood up with an 'ah-ha' face and took the guitar from Luke. She positioned herself in front of the mic, then sang through the song that had just entered her mind, which she had decided to call 'Extra Ordinary.'
"What was that?!" Angela exclaimed.
Katie shrugged. "I guess it was the answer to a song."
"You came up with that right on the spot?" Mickey asked, surprised.
Luke wrapped an arm around Katie's shoulders and smiled proudly. "That's my girl, always creating hit songs before the rest of us can even blink."
Katie beamed at the praise as she handed Luke his guitar. "I don't know if they're hits."
"They are," all three of her friends said in unison.
That earned a laugh from Katie. "Thanks guys."
