Chapter 18

Teddy's POV

We continued walking towards the hallway. Then, we reached the stage where we found Mo and Charlie sitting on the side and Stella pacing with Zeke trying to calm her down.

"Hey," I called, knowing that the crowd was too loud to hear me anyways.

Stella turned at my voice, "Where were you guys? We're on in like a minute," she said exasperatedly.

"Maybe so; but, guess who we found?" I replied.

Olivia and Wen came from behind us.

Stella, Mo, and Charlie rushed at them.

"Where were you guys?" Stella asked, then she glanced at the clock, "Actually, never mind that, we're on now."

She pushed the two of them towards the stage and she, Mo and Charlie followed behind them.

Luther and I began to head out into the audience to watch when Zeke stopped us.

"No," Zeke said, "you guys probably shouldn't go out there. You'd look awfully suspicious. You guys still are wearing your Wen and Olivia clothes."

Luther and I glanced down at what we were wearing and realized.

I chuckled, "Oh, I forgot. Well, I guess we'll just watch from back here then."

We sat down backstage and began to watch Mo, Stella, Charlie, Wen and Olivia do their thing.

"Wow, they are so amazing. I don't even know how we could have passed for them," I said.

"I know, right?" Luther agreed.

"Hey, don't underestimate yourselves," Zeke interrupted, "You guys were just as good as them. If I didn't know, I swear I would never have guessed."
"Well, thank you," I responded.
"Thanks, bro," Luther said, as well.

"So, where did you find them anyways?" Zeke asked.

"They were actually all the way in Don's office, bro," Luther answered.

"What? How did they even get in there?" Zeke turned to us, surprised.

"Apparently there were some girls posing as backstage help saying that Miss Reznick wanted to see them in there. But, when they got there they pushed them in and locked the door," Luther explained.

"Woah," Zeke turned back to watch the show, "Why would anyone want to sabatoge them?"

"I don't know," I responded.

"Me neither," Luther agreed.

Luther and I turned back to face the stage. As my head turned, the stray curl that had fallen out because of the bobby pin that I had taken out to jiggle the locks on the door fell in front of my eyes. I blew it out of my eyes, but then just reached up and pulled out my ponytail. Once content, I focused on the show again.

Halfway through Livin' on a Highwire I felt Luther's fingers brush mine. Slowly his hand intertwined with mine. I let my head fall forward, so my hair fell around my face. I peered at him through my curtain of hair. He was smiling and his head was gently bobbing to the music. I smiled to myself and began to enjoy the show once again.

Soon they finished with Determinate and the crowd went wild.

"I hope you guys enjoyed the show!" Stella yelled into the microphone, "You've been a great audience and we love Gilroy! We hope we can come back soon!"

The crowd cheered again, and the band exited the stage.

Luther and I went to the bathroom to change before going back into the crowd.

I took off the dress and shoes Mo lent me and pulled on my jeans and Lemonade Mouth T-shirt that I had made the night before.

I headed out of the bathroom to run face first into Luther.

"Oh, sorry!" I said.

"Don't worry about it," he said, putting an arm around my waist. I leaned into him and we began to walk towards the others.

It was kind of strange being so couple-y with him after being best friends for so long. But, because we've been friends for so long it was like the same. We've always been close and I guess we already had been acting like a couple before we actually made it official.

"You guys were great!" I told Mo, Charlie, Stella, Wen, and Olivia.

"Yeah, you were really good," Luther agreed.

"Fantastic," Zeke slipped an arm around Stella's waist.

"Well, we couldn't have done it without you guys to help us," Stella said.

"If not, the show would have been a disaster," Mo said.

"And, you guys performed well, too. It was as if you guys were the same people," Charlie agreed.

"Thanks a lot," Wen said.

"Thanks for finding us, too. I thought we'd be stuck in there forever," Olivia laughed.

"Well, you're welcome," I said.

"We're sure to be hanging out," Stella said.

"Okay, but I've got to go find my parents before they get worried. Luther and I have been missing for a while," I told them.

"Okay, see you," they chorused after us.

I saw my parents getting up from their chairs.

"Hey mom!" I called, dragging Luther along with me.

"Hey, you two; did you both enjoy the show?"

"Yes, we did," Luther and I shared a look and we laughed a little.

"What's so funny?" My mom asked.

"Nothing, not a thing," I replied.

"Okay, then," My mom gave me one last strange look, "We're going to go head on home now to get Charlie to bed. Gabe's somewhere around here with Ginger I believe. Just keep an eye out and come home as soon as you can, all right?"

"Will do," I answered, "Where's PJ?"

"He's with Bridget," my mom replied.

"Oh, okay."

My parents left Don's Donuts.

Bridget's POV

"That was amazing, PJ," I told PJ, "It was so much fun."

"I know right?" PJ answered, "That Olivia girl looks awfully like my sister, though."

"She does, doesn't she?" We walked around the corner and headed down to the park.

Chapter 18! Next chapter will have phase 3…or is it phase 2? I'm not even sure; I'm barely keeping track of my chapters anymore lol. That's what I get for prolonging the story. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed. I also updated Muggles vs. Wizards. I was planning to update again last Saturday, but I never got a chance to. I'm hoping I'll have another chance to update this weekend, but I'm not so sure. Looks like I'll probably just end up updating every Friday. But, anyways, please read and review!
