Chapter Twenty-Six

Final Jam pt.1

The next morning Gizmo and Seala woke up way early and went straight to work on their song. They brought their breakfast in the indoor stage hall so they could work at the same time. After about two hours the boys, Gibson and Otto, came in to help. Then it was time. Final Jam. The stage was huge, there were tons of lights, a huge screen and a ton of chairs and stands. There was a curtain and everything. The girls were back stage.

"Hey Seala. You ready?" Gizmo asked walking over with two water bottles.

"Oh, Gizmo, I can't do this."

"What'cha mean?" Gizmo asked handing a bottle to Seala.

"That crowd will be huge, and remember this is on T.V. I do not do T.V live performances."

"Wait here." Gizmo ran to the crowd where Otto and Gibson. "Yo! Guys!"

"Hey Gizmo!"

"Hi Otto. Gibson you gotta come with me."

"What is it?"

"It's Seala."

Then the three ran back stage but couldn't find Seala. Just a huge crowd of the kids. They ran over to see what was going on. Everyone was mumbling and saying they were going to need a doctor. The three pushed their way through the crowd and saw someone very familiar lying on the ground.

"SEALA!" Gizmo shouted.

She knelt down next to her and lifted Seala's head.

"What happened?" Gibson asked.

"I don't know. When I left her, she was just fine. Seala was just panicking about the show."

"I got her." Gibson took out his scanner and checked Seala over. "She only fainted. She'll live."

"But the show?"

"Depends when she wakes up."

"Seala, come on. Wake up. I need you. Please? Come on Seala, please." Gizmo begged, but it didn't work.

Gibson remembered the trick with her and Otto, so why wouldn't it work for him too?

"May I try?" Gizmo stopped sobbing and nodded. Gibson laid Seala's head on his lap. "Seala? It's me, Gibson." He looked at Otto who just nodded. "Um…Gizmo really needs you right now. Please? I know you're scared but you can do this. Remember back on Shuggazoom, when we danced? You were scared then too, but you got through it and you were great. Please, wake up and dance on stage with Gizmo."

After a moment, Seala's eyes started opening.

"Gibson?"

"Seala! Ah! Gibson you did it!"

"I did?"

"Yes. I heard you. Thank you."

After an hour, Seala was all better and ready to dance to her heart out against Cali/Mandra and Ronald/Mandarin.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Gibson, I'm fine."

"A least take one more sip of water."

"Oh, alright." Seala took a quick sip of water and got ready. After a while Seala came out of the dressing room. "Gibson! Could you come here?"

Gibson ran in and saw Seala wearing a light blue dress, no sleeves, and her black flats.

"What did you need?"

"I need help with the zipper."

Seala turned around the zipper was half up. Gibson zipped it the rest of the way. Seala turned back around.

"Thanks. You know, it always seems you're saving me."

"Sorry."

"No, no. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. It's just, I never save you."

"That does seem to be the case, doesn't it?"

They leaned in for a kiss but Gizmo came out of no where and pulled Seala away, which made Gibson fall, again (like in the beginning minus the ankle).

"Come on! We're on next!"

Gizmo and Seala were on after Amy, from the beginning of the story. She was great. Afterward, she ran off stage.

"Next in the Final Jam, our contestants for the Final Jam, Final Throw-down! Gizmo and Seala the Twins of Music!"

Gizmo and Seala ran out on stage. Gizmo was wearing a green dress, no sleeves, and black flats. They waited for the music to start up, then they started dancing and singing.

Seala: Turn up the music/Let's get out on the floor/I like to move it/Come and give me some more

Gizmo: Watch me gettin' physical/And out of control/There's people watchin' me/I never miss a beat

Both: (Chorus) Steal the night/Kill the lights/Feel it under your skin/Time is right/Keep it tight/Cause it's pulling you in/Wrap it up/Can't stop cause it feels like an overdose (Feels like an overdose)/Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor/Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound/Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me/Hey, Mr. DJ let the music take me underground

Seala: Everybody in the club/Evacuate the dancefloor/Oh, oh, I'm infected by the soundGizmo: Everybody in the club/Stop, this beat is killing me/Hey, Mr. DJ let the music take me underground (End Chorus)Seala: My body's aching/System overload/Temperatures rising/I'm about to explodeGizmo: Watch me I'm intoxicating taking the show/It's got me hypnotized/Everybody step aside/(Chorus^)Music (This is the part where the two just dance): Come on and evacuate/Feel the club is heating up/Move on and accelerate/Push it to the top/Come on and evacuate/Feel the club is heating up/Move on and accelerate/You don't have to be afraid/Now guess who's back with a brand new track/That got everybody in the club going mad/So everybody in the back/Get your back up on the wall and just shake that thang/Go crazy, yo lady, yo baby/Let me see you wreck that thang/And drop it down low, low/Let me see you take it to the dancefloor, yoSeala: Everybody in the club/Evacuate the dancefloor/Everybody in the club/I'm infected by the soundGizmo: Everybody in the club/Stop, this beat is killing me/Hey Mr. DJ let the music take me undergroundBoth: Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor/Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound/Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me/Hey, Mr. DJ let the music take us underground

Gizmo: Everybody in the club/Evacuate the dancefloor/Oh, oh, I'm infected by the soundSeala: Everybody in the club/Stop, this beat is killing meBoth: Hey, Mr. DJ let the music take me underground

After the song faded they took a bow and ran off stage. They ran to their guys.

"Ah! We did it!" Seala shouted.

"You did it Seala! You really knocked it."

"Thanks Gizmo. You really did too. And you! Thank you so much." Seala hugged Gibson. "You really made feel better and confident about the whole thing."

"You're welcome Seala." Gibson said, hugging back.

"Aw…this is such a sweet moment. It just makes me wanna…puck!"

"You are going down!" Gizmo said.

"Really? We'll just see about that."

"Next up! Cali Tonna, Sun-shiner of the camp!"

"That's me. Later M.L's!"

"M.L's?" The boys asked.

"Major Losers." The girls answered.

A song started, "Girl Thing" by Anna Margaret, and she started walking, dancing and singing. Toward the end Seala looked defeated.

"What's wrong Seala?" Gizmo asked.

"I hate to say it, but-"

"No, Seala! No, do not say it! I'm begging you!" Gizmo said.

"She's better."

"Oh, you said it!" Gizmo said.

"Seala, I need to talk to you." Gibson said pulling her on the other side of the area. "What's wrong with you?"

"Cali-"

"She is not better than you and Gizmo are. Cali or Mandra or whatever her name is, is, never was, and never will be better than you and Gizmo. You're song was great."

"Really?"

"Yes, yes, yes. You're song makes her song sound like nails on chalkboard."

"Really?"

"Yes. Now don't you think for one second-"

Seala kissed Gibson for a moment.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome?"

"Oh, Gizmo!" Seala ran over and hugged Gizmo tightly.

"Ah! Seala! What's gotta into you?"

"Cali is going down!"

"That's the attitude."

After the song Cali, with Ronald by her side, stayed on stage and Gizmo and Seala ran out.

"Alright Campers and Parents! You need to get on either side of the stage like before! This will help us determine who is the winner!"

The campers and parents went to either side of the stage. And the councilors counted.

"It's a tie!"

"What?" The four said.

"Looks like it's not over yet! The contestants will have to compete again at the end of Final Jam!"

"Fine by me." Seala said.

"Me too." Gizmo agreed.

"Fine, we'll do it."

"But the bet is still on?"

"Yes. And Gizmo and I will beat you at the end."

"Whoa, Gibson. What'd you say to your girlfriend?"

"Nothing."

"Well it was something."

After the girls came back stage again, Seala started plotting the next song.

"Seala, what are we going to do?" Gizmo asked.

"I have no idea, yet."

"I've got a song." Melodie said.

"Let's hear it." Seala said.

Melodie sang a few bars and they thought it was great.

"And we all can be in it." Melodie said.

"Yes, yes, yes! Oh, thank you Melodie!" Seala said hugging her.

"Oh, Seala? Are you feeling alright?"

"Better than alright. I'm so great that I know we can beat Cali to the curb!" Then Seala ran off to practice.

"Well, then. What's gotten into her?"

"Gibson did it." Gizmo said pointing to Gibson.

"I have no idea what I did. I just talked to her. That's all."

"And you kissed her." Otto teased.

"I did not. She kissed me."

"You two still kissed." Gizmo said.

"Come on! Go tell the others! I gotta get ready to go on."

"Alright. Hey Antauri!" Otto said.

"Melodie, you ready?"

"Yes, I am."
