(Kevin's POV)
"Hey guys, let's lighten the mood, shall we. We just so happen to all be down here together and there's an awesome recording studio right here. Let's test it out, shall we?" I say to the group with a big smile. Who can resist a big happy teddy bear like me?
Mitch jumps right in, thank you Mitch, "Yes, let's do it! Emma, you can sit there in the chair at the controls and watch!"
Emma wipes her eyes and says, "That would be nice, Mitch, as long as I don't have to touch anything, I wouldn't want to wreck it."
I walk over and show Emma what button to push to be able to hear us, I plug in the headphones and she can hear us through them. I show her where the mic and speaker are so that we can hear her. She timidly sits as we all go into the large studio. It has state of the art everything. We all stand as we normally do at shows with Avi on the far left, then Kirstie, Scott, Mitch, and I on the other side. We each have a mic to sing into. I motion for Em to put on the headphones and press the sound button. She does so and says, "Yes, I can hear you now, Kevin."
I smile and say, "We can hear you too, Em."
I look at the group and say, "Let's sing, I Need Your Love."

(Emma's POV)
Mitch starts the song and his voice is so crystal clear and perfect, then Avi and Kevin start their parts. Then Kirstie and Scott join in. Scott sings his solo and I am captivated by him. His voice is so good. They get to the chorus, and I move to the beat. I clap along when Kevin starts clapping and I am smiling right along. They are perfect. I smile to myself as I wish Olivia could see me now. My own private Pentatonix concert. HAHA, Olivia. They finish the song with Avi's solo and they finish. I press my speaker button and say, "Way to go, guys! That was amazing! Even better live!"

(Scott's POV)
I'm glad that Emma is enjoying the song. I could stare into Emma's gorgeous eyes all day. I try not to stare. We go into another song, Can't Hold Us. I notice that Emma is getting into the song and that just makes me smile. We finish the song and Emma praises us once more. I smile and say, "Thanks Em, you are too kind." She looks at me and smiles shyly.

(Kirstie's POV)
"Okay, Em, what do you want to hear?" I say.
"I want to hear, Hey Momma/Hit The Road Jack, I think it's fitting for today's drama." Emma says with a laugh.
"I couldn't agree more, Em." I say.

(Emma's POV)
They are just as amazing on this song too. I try my best not to stare at Scott, but it's hard not to stare at someone who is singing in front of you. They finish up the song and I stand up and clap again smiling.
Kirstie comes outside and hugs me. I smile and throw the headphones off and they fall onto the speaker button. Kirstie and I are both turned with our backs to the guys in the studio and are unaware that they can hear us.

(Mitch's POV)
We stop talking when we hear Em and Kirstie talk. We should stop them.

(Emma's POV)
"I'm okay, just a little hurt by what happened. I don't want y'all to be mad at me," I say.
"Em, we aren't mad at all. Honestly." Kirstie says to me.
"Kirstie, can I ask you a question and you promise you won't say anything to the guys?" I ask.
"Sure," Kirstie says.
We then see Avi pop his head out of the studio and say, "Unless you want to ask that question to all of us, you might want to take the headphones off the speaker button, Em." Avi smiled kindly.
I turn and look and take the headphones off quickly and look at Kirstie and mouth, Oh My God. I laugh because I almost just spilled my secret. I am laughing now because I'm embarrassed and this is what I do, I laugh. I look at the guys who are laughing too. Mitch comes out and asks, "What is your question? I want to know? I won't tell the boys either."
"Nice try, Mitchie, come on, Kirstie; let's go to your room." I say as we head upstairs.

(Kirstie's POV)
Thank God Avi came out. He's so great like that. We get to my room and I shut the door so that we can privately talk. We sit on my bed and Emma starts going through her things and pulling out her shirts. I point to some empty drawers if she wants to use them.
"So, what were you about to say downstairs?" I ask.
"Okay, well, first of all, let's talk about you and Mr. Avi. He's so sweet by the way. I saw the way he looked at you while y'all were signing. I think he's in love." Em says.
"I think I am too," I say with a smile.
"We are doing so well, it's like no other relationship I have had. Jeremey doesn't even compare to Avi," I say.
Emma looks at me and asks, "Have you talked to Jeremy the jerk?"
"Not since he left and I don't plan on it. I think if he comes around, he might get hurt next time. Scott wants to kick his ass." I say and we both laugh because that is so unlike Scott.
"Why does he want to do that?" Emma asks.
"Some things that Jeremy said to me, it really was hateful stuff." I say.
"Oh, that. Yes, Mitch told me about those things. Jeremy's an idiot. I just sat there and saw your talent for myself downstairs, Kirstie, and you, all of you, are so perfect together! I can't imagine any one of you leaving the group, it just wouldn't be Pentatonix." Em says, and then adds, "Back to Avi, have y'all kissed yet?"
"Yes," I say shyly with a small smile.
"And?" Em asks.
"It was so amazing. He's such a great kisser. But, don't say anything; we are taking things one day at a time." I say.
My turn to ask her the personal questions, "So, do you have a boyfriend?"
Emma looks at me and says, "No, still single."
I smile, "Do you like anyone?"
"Yes," Emma replies.
"Okay, that is not a way to answer a question. Come on, tell me." I say.
"I have the biggest crush right now and I'm trying to deal with it, Kirstie." Emma says dropping her face into her hands.
"Aw, who is it? I won't say anything." I say.
"mmphf," Emma says muffled by her hands.
I grab her hands and say, "Who?"
"Scott," Emma says not looking at me.
I sit back and tilt my head and fold my arms. I wait til she looks up and I smile at her. When she does, I say, "I think that's sweet. I had no idea."
"I've always thought that he was, well, so cute, but, always thought that he saw me a kid sister, but, I don't know, I've grown up some, and it kind of hit me when I saw him earlier today." Emma says.
"You have to tell him," I say.
"No, and you aren't allowed to say a word, not to Avi, not to anyone. Promise." Emma says holding out her pinkie.
I take it and say, "Fine, okay. But, this could be so much fun for me."

Meanwhile… downstairs in the basement….

(Mitch's POV)
Me and the guys are talking while Emma and Kirstie went upstairs. I say, "We need to have a movie/game night tonight. Let's watch something scary and then play some games."
Kevin chimes in and says, "Sounds like a plan, Mitch. I love scary movies."
Scott says, "Yes, sounds fun!"
Avi agrees.
I run upstairs to tell the girls and knock on the door to Kirstie's room. I hear them shush and Kirstie says, "Come in."
I walk in and can tell that they were definitely talking about something good. "Guys, it's no fair, you know I love secrets too. I'm great at keeping secrets, please tell me." I say plopping on the bed between them.
Emma grabs my shoulder and says, "Sorry, Mitch, not this one." She laughs and it's good to see her laugh.
I sit up and tell the girls about the movie/game night. Emma looks at Kirstie with a look and says, "I don't do scary movies."
I look at Emma and say, "You can sit by me, we can scream together."
Emma says okay.

Later that night…. Movie time….

(Third Person – POV)

They have lots of drinks, beer, and wine, and snacks spread out on the table in front of the large sectional. Avi and Kirstie grabbed a corner where Avi pulled Kirstie to his lap and they had a blanket. Avi wrapped his arms around Kirstie's waist and kissed her neck and whispered into her ear to make her laugh. Mitch looks over at them and says, "Y'all are too cute for words."
Kirstie looks at Avi and kisses him on his cheek. Avi smiles and kisses her back and nuzzles into her hair.
Kevin grabs the next section and sits right front and center of the big screen with Mitch on his side. Scott comes to sit by Mitch and Mitch says, "Make room for Em, she's sitting by me."
Scott says, "Okay." He was excited for some reason to have her sit by him too.
Emma slowly came downstairs and walked over to the couch and Mitch pulled her down beside him. She smiled and said, "I don't know about this you guys, I'm not really into scary movies, and I'm a wimp when it comes to these."
Kevin looks over at Emma and says, "It won't be that scary." He then turns off the lights and Emma starts to stand. Mitch and Scott grab her arms then and Mitch says, "Stay, it'll be fine."
Emma gets a blanket and brings it up to her face as the movie starts. She leans back and is already expecting the first jump. She buries her face into the blanket because the movie Kevin picked out was a Halloween movie and those really freak her out, she can already see her nightmares tonight. Scott looks over at her and is concerned. He places an arm on her back and whispers into her ear, "You okay, Em?"

(Emma's POV)
I feel his breath on my ear, his hand on my back, and I am intoxicated with his whispered voice. I whip my head sideways almost into his face because I did not realize how close he was and I whisper, "I just don't like scary movies, and this one is the worse for me."
Scott reaches down and grabs her hand. He leans back into the corner of the couch where he can stretch his legs out in front of him. He motions for me to come closer. He puts his arm up, and I slid in beside him with my legs stretched out beside his. I pull the blanket on top of me and he pulls some over as well. I really don't know how to feel about what's going on, I just let it happen. Of course, this is not helping my crush right now. Mitch leans back too and leans against me on my shoulder which pushes me more into Scott's body. I giggle to myself. Mitch turns to me and says, "Shhh.."
I obey and keep quiet. I try not to look at Scott, but I wonder if he can feel my heart racing in my chest. There's another scary scene and I bury my face into my hands. I eventually just lean back and turn into Scott's side and close my eyes.

(Scott's POV)
When Emma turns into my side, I slowly bring my arm down around her. Mitch has leaned over back towards the center. I actually felt bad that she was getting so freaked out. I started playing with the ends of her hair with my fingers not even realizing it. Her hair smelled so good, I would have to find out what shampoo she used. Wait, why I am thinking about this? What is going on? Emma doesn't see me that way. She couldn't. Could she? I realize that somehow, she fell asleep, and I just let her sleep against my body.

(Avi's POV)
I wish that Kirstie and I had some privacy. I glance over and see that Scott and Emma are cuddling, from what it appears to be. I see Mitch and Kevin engrossed in the movie. I pull the blanket over Kirstie and lean in and plant a quiet kiss on her lips. I feel her smile and she reaches up and rubs her fingers through my beard. She kisses me quietly too. We have to be extra quiet. We steal a few more kisses and then we slowly pull the blanket back down and see that no one saw us. She whispers into my ear, "Avi, you are amazing."
I smile and whisper into her ear, "Not even close to how amazing you are, baby."
She smiled back at me and we interlocked our fingers.

(Mitch's POV)
The movie ended and I look over at Emma who is sleeping.
"Emma, are you sleeping?" I say.
Scott shoots me a look.
She slowly sits back into the couch and says, "Not anymore."
"Emma, did you even watch any of it," I ask.
"Not really, I told you, I don't like scary movies, especially the Halloween ones," Emma says.
Emma stands up and says, "I'm going upstairs for a second, be right back."
Scott looks at her with concern and says, "You okay?"
Emma nods and says, "Yep, perfect. Kirstie, come with me, please?"
Emma and Kirstie head upstairs. I look over at Scott and nudge him and say, "You okay?"
"Yes, yes, I'm fine." Scott says.
"Well, I have the perfect game for us to play. It'll lift the mood." I say.
Kevin and Avi look at me and cautiously say, "What?"
"Truth or Dare," I say with a smile.

(Kirstie's POV)
I walk with Emma to the bathroom in my room. She starts brushing her teeth. I look at her and then feel I need to brush my teeth too. I laugh and say, "Why are we brushing our teeth?"
Emma says, "I don't know, just wanted to have fresh breath."
"Any particular reason?" Kirstie smiles at me.
"You never know," Emma says.
They mouth wash, check their hair, and head back downstairs.
We are laughing as we head back downstairs and I walk over to Avi and give him a kiss. He pulls back and says, "Ooh, minty fresh."

(Third Person - POV)
"Great, the girls are back. Okay, we are going to play a game of Truth or Dare. Now, grab the paper in front of you and fill out four truths and four dares. We'll use some bowls for each one." Mitch says.
Emma sits back in her original spot by Mitch and Scott and everyone starts to think of truths and dares.
