Later that night, Angela and Katie were in the garden shed, talking.

"So, as your best friend, I may or may not have done a little shopping on your behalf." Angela said as she pulled a box from where she had hidden it. "It's for the dance tonight. You're going to look so good that Luke won't know what hit him."

Katie opened the box like a kid on Christmas, revealing a beautiful purple sari and a matching mask. "Ang, it's beautiful! Thank you!"

"All we have to do now is get someone to watch Victor for the night, because you know Gail is going to try to make you do it, and we're all set to go."

It was then that Gail decided to make an appearance, causing Angela to have to hide. Gail forced Katie into watching Victor, which she had seen coming. Once Gail had left though, Katie and Angela ran to the main house and convinced Ravi/Tony to watch Victor.

At the dance, Katie and Angela almost immediately spotted Luke and Mickey. Sadly, they also spotted Bev and Gail. The two friends made their way to the boys and greeted them but soon Mickey had to go DJ and Luke said that he wanted to show Katie something.

"Go, I'll distract Gail." Angela assured.

Katie smiled at her in thanks and followed Luke out to the fountain. "What did you want to show me?"

"It's more of a telling, but I wanted to do it away from prying ears." Luke explained. "I talked to my dad and he's managed to secure the money that your father left you and has made sure that Angela, Victor, and Tony are all safe from Gail and her claws. He's also started making your demo into your first single, but will need you in the studio soon to work on an album."

Katie squealed and threw her arms around Luke. "Thank you so much!"

"That's not all though. I get to produce and write with you on the album and we've come up with the perfect plan to get back at Gail." Luke then told Katie about how she would go along with Gail's plan to use her voice and when the showcase came around, they would expose her and her plan. Katie loved it.

"You're amazing. I love you." Katie locked her lips to Luke's.

"Katie!" Angela's voice made the couple separate. "Gail had an accident and went home. Time to go."

Katie cursed. "Gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Of course."

The next day, Katie was in the booth recording a song for Bev to use as her showcase piece. Gail and Bev were both harping on her to get it perfect and Katie was getting frustrated, but held it in so that she wouldn't get in trouble. When she finally got it right and it was recorded, Katie and Bev switched places so that she could learn to lip synch to it. Katie then shot Luke a text that it was safe to come in.

Luke entered the practice room with Mickey and smiled through the booth at Katie, but it looked like he was smiling at Bev. The music was cut off and Gail exited the booth.

"I'm sorry, this is a closed rehearsal." Gail stated. "We have to practice for the showcase audition."

"Oh, you're in." Luke assured. "I haven't heard a voice that good in a long time, or a song that good either. Would you like to write a song together? I'd love your input."

Bev looked flabbergasted as she nodded and let out a squeaky, "Sure."

"Awesome. I've got to get going, but I can tell that we're going to have an interesting showcase." Luke waved to them all and shot Katie a discrete wink, then left.

That weekend, Luke was greeted at the Van Ravensway house by Victor. After giving Victor and impromptu guitar lesson, he stood up to see Katie leaning against the wall with a soft smile on her face and holding a painting that had a hole cut out of it.

"She appears to have lost her head." Luke pointed to the painting.

"Yeah, it's an artist's rendition on what goes on up there." Katie joked. "I take it that you're here to 'write' a song with Bev?"

"Yeah, I'm hoping to make her work for her deception."

Katie laughed. "I look forward to hearing what she comes up with."

"Luke!" Speak of the devil, there was Bev with a bright smile on her face. "What are you doing here?"

"I was hoping to write that song with you."

Bev's face dropped for a second, but soon her fake smile was back in place. "Of course. I'll meet you in the living room, but I need to talk to Katie first."

Luke complied and Bev dragged Katie up to Victor's room to get them both hooked up to the devices that would let them communicate. Bev then went down to the living room and Katie tried to come up with a song for Bev to 'write.' Katie grinned mischievously. She knew just the song.

Downstairs, Bev gave the first lyric. "Don't break my heart before I give it to you." Luke furrowed his brow at the familiar words and strummed a few notes that his fingers seemed to remember. "Don't tell me no before I ask you too."

Luke then recognized the song and Katie cheered from where she was when she saw the look on his face. It was the first song that they had ever written together, back when they were still a new couple and Katie was getting used to having a boyfriend. Luke was her first everything, you know. Luke then seemed to realize that Bev must be getting the word from Katie somehow but said nothing and let her continue 'writing' the song.

At the end of the song, Bev had slid to sit next to Luke and was leaning in to kiss him when his phone rang. Bev scowled but moved away and let Luke answer the phone.

Luke stood and looked at his phone. It was Katie, who had apparently taken off her earpiece. "Hello?"

"Pretend I'm your dad," was Katie's greeting.

"Hey Dad."

"Good. I really didn't want Bev to kiss you. I have to kiss that mouth and I'm not having it tainted by Barbie over there."

"Of course."

"Now, pretend that I've told you that you have to come home."

"Ok Dad. I'll be home soon. Should I pick you up?"

"Always. I'll be in the shed."

"Got it. See you in fifteen minutes. I have to run an errand first."

"I love you."

"You too." Luke turned to Bev. "I have to go. I'll see you around?"

"Sure. Bye Luke." Bev said sadly.

Fifteen minutes later, Luke met Katie in the garden shed. She was sitting dejectedly on her bed, strumming on her guitar. When Luke entered though, she set the guitar aside and gave him a weak smile. "Hey."

Luke frowned and went to stand between Katie's legs so that he could be close to her. "What's wrong?"

Katie sighed. "You're positive that my accounts are sealed, right?"

"Of course. Why?"

"Gail said that she could get the money if she had a medical emergency and threatened to take it away if I didn't cooperate."

Luke pulled Katie into a hug, which she happily reciprocated, wrapping her legs around his waist. "I promise, even if Gail takes the money away (which is highly unlikely. Dad has the best lawyers) you're going to be so famous soon that you won't need it. You'll have money of your own."

"Thanks." Katie looked up at her boyfriend of two years. "I'm sorry for dragging you into all of this."

"Not a problem, love. I love you and I'd do anything for you."

Katie smiled, quite a bit happier, and kissed Luke. It's safe to say that they didn't leave the garden shed for a couple of hours.
