"Sierra?," Devin ran around backstage, looking for his little sister, "Sis, where are you?"

Sam and Dakota ran backstage.

"Listen everybody, the show ran short and we don't have anything else planned!"

Everyone gasped.

"We need one last act to bring us home. I'm gonna go check on Jack Black and see if he has any ideas. You guys see if you can come up with something. We have two minutes! Two minutes!"

Sam ran off to find Jack Black.

"Ok! Think, think, think!," Dakota told everyone.

"What am I thinking, what am I thinking?!," Owen panicked.

Devin's eyes widened.

"Sierra! Sierra!," he continued his search.


Sierra sat on an old crate in the storage area. She sighed as she rested her chin in her hands.

"Sierra!"

Her eyes widened.

"Devin?"

Devin ran into the room.

"You came back!"

Devin sat down next to his sister.

"Sis, what are you doing down here? They just need one more act. You gotta get out there and help this guys."

"I can't. What if people laugh at me? I...I'd rather go back home to Smalltown. With you."

Devin frowned. He saw his sister's facial expression and knew what it meant: She needs him.

"Look, Sierra, you're my sister, and I'm always gonna love you, but you belong here, with these guys. Hey, you're the one who got Sam to do this. You're the one who brought everyone here together. You always believe in other people, but that's easy. Sooner or later, you gotta believe in yourself, too. Because that's what growing up is. It's becoming who you want to be. You have to try. Please, Sierra. You're my hero."

Sierra looked up at her brother with wide eyes. She smiled and hugged him tightly before running out of the room.

Sam ran back to the others.

"Ok, Jack Black's got nothing. What did you guys come up with?"

"Uh, Ellody and Mary could set the water bot on fire," Cody suggested.

"No no, we can't do that."

"I could break out the fart shoes!," Owen suggested.

"No no! That'll never work!"

"We're back in three, two..."

ON AIR

Sam's eyes widened, "Oh no!," he groaned as he put his face in his hands.

Suddenly, the lights onstage went dim and violins could be heard playing to beautiful whistling.

Oooh

Everyone backstage looked up onstage, wondering who was performing.

Ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooooh ooh

"It's Sierra," Owen realized.

Indeed it was. A spotlight shone on Sierra as the violins played a more lively tune.

Ooooooooooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh

Ooo-ooo-ooh oo-ooh oo-ooh

Sierra started dancing.

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooooh oo-ooh oo-ooh ooooh

Oo-oo-ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Oo-oo-oo-oo-ooooooooh!

Ooo-ooo-oooh

Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh!

Sierra whistled on a note so high, some of the lights onstage shattered.

Oooooooh

The music ended as Sierra came to the end of her performance.

Oo-oooh

Sierra curtsied as the crowd broke into a standing ovation and started throwing roses onstage. Sierra caught a whole bouquet in her hands and smiled.


Devin smiled as he and Carrie watched from backstage, "She's all grown up."

The Kids applauded as well.

"That was incredible!," Sam commented.


The tote board started going up again, and was now very close to ten million dollars.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Sierra Sanchez!," Sam announced as he and Dakota joined Sierra onstage, "It looks like we're gonna get our studio back!"


Don Adora, the TD newsman, was up in the balcony as one of the phone operators.

"This just in: The Total Drama Kids are about to take back their studio."
