Interview#1

A lone chair sits within the contexts of a large white room.

Kameron Evans walks on screen and sees the audience right in front of him. Walking up to the chair he soon sat down, directing his attention at the fellow people in front of him.

Kameron Evans: Hi, everyone. You all probably know me by this point, so introductions aren't really necessary. I just wanted to come out and see you all before the Episode begins.

Kameron leaned forward, intertwining his hands together as he narrows his eyes at us.

Kameron: I am the White Blade of the Rainbow Gems. This title was given to me because of my weapon and because of how the color white is a combination of the all the colors in a rainbow, if that wasn't obvious enough. I am the ninth member of the Rainbow Gems. And...I've been contradicting myself a lot, but I'm now well aware that most of you might not want to hear that from me. But then again, Humans contradict themselves all the time, and I'm no different in that regard.

Exhaling out some air, Kameron straightened his back against the chair and placed his hands in his pockets.

Kameron: This Life I have isn't an easy one, but...now...I think I've finally gotten the clarity I needed. It was...a long, long process to get to this point. There were definitely a lot of hiccups along the way, but...now, now I think I truly understand what kind of person I want to be. You can blame my Author for how I turned out, but...I am glad I'm getting better one step at a time.

Kameron then stood up from the chair. He closes his eyes and slowly reopens them.

Kameron: That's all I'm willing to say now. Enjoy the Episode.

Kameron then turned and walked off-screen.


Episode 64: No Matter What

November 26th 10:30 p.m.

Lying in bed Kameron locked his gaze at the ceiling in his room. His eyes blinked while he continued looking at the blank ceiling. He should already be asleep at this point. But...he wasn't.

Tomorrow was a big day. Tomorrow...he returns to school. The very thought of it sent a surge through his body, giving him a plethora of various actions taking place in his mind. He had to go back. His education was still important to him, but...when he wakes up tomorrow...will the scenarios play out exactly how he thinks they will?

Shutting his eyes for a brief moment he raised himself up before pulling off his blanket and placing his feet on the carpet. Pushing himself off from his bed he walked over to his bedroom door and headed out.

Entering the hallway he closed his door and made his way to the left. Quietly traversing through the hallway he soon approached a large door. Looking at it he slowly raised up his hand before balling it into a fist. He should've done this long ago. He should've done this on the other doors too, but he didn't. Well...now was the time to make that change.

*Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock*

Putting his hand down he took a step back. After waiting a moment his ears heard the sound of the doorknob twisting before the door opened up.

On the other side was his father, wearing white pajamas with light blue birds on them.

"Kameron?" Green said as he let out a yawn.

"Hi, dad." Kameron replied. He then raised up his arms and held them in his hands. "I know it's late, but...I want to talk to you and mom. Is she awake?"

Looking at his son, Green saw the type of body language he was showing. The concern in his voice... Without a word he gave Kameron a nod and moved to the side, allowing him to enter the room.

Within the room was a large Castle-sized bed at the center with a white-colored blanket covered in various colored shapes on it. On the walls were pictures of Green and Christie during their wedding, the day Kameron was born, and both Green and Christie holding Kameron in a blanket. Alongside that were certificates of Anthropology and Math.

On the Castle-sized bed was Christie, whom was reading a book. Her eyes then looked up to see her son Kameron, making her immediately put her bookmark into the book before closing it.

"Kameron? What's the matter? Are you okay?" She asked as she got out of bed and walked over to him.

Kameron locked his eyes onto his mom as she placed both of her hands on her cheeks. "I wanted to talk to the both of you. Is that okay?" He said softly.

A wave of concern flew around Christie as Green stepped up to them, showing her his own concerned expression. The look in Kameron's eyes... She looked at her husband and turned back to her son.

"Of course it is." Christie replied in a motherly tone.

Removing her hands off of her son's face Christie, Kameron, and Green walked over to the bed and sat down on it.

"What is it you wanted to talk about?" Christie asked.

Sitting in-between his parents, Kameron brought up his hands and intertwined his fingers together. His eyes were on his hands as he gathered his thoughts. Turning his head he glanced at both of his parents, waiting for him to speak. Tightening his grip on his hands he slowly decreased his grip and opened his mouth. "I'm sorry."

"What are you apologizing for?" Green asked.

"For what happened during our fight with the Cluster. And for making you both worry too much." Kameron replied.

Green lifted his hand and placed it onto his son's shoulder. Green watched Kameron turn to him as he opened his mouth. "Kameron. A lot was happening during that time. And to be fair, we all allowed you to caring out what you needed to do. As your father I should've helped you during that time and not allow you to face it alone, but...this was your wish and what you truly wanted to do. I was not going to go against your decisions. And it is once again a miracle that you survived, but understand that I will not allow you to do something that reckless again. Understand?"

Kameron gave him a nod.

"We worry because we care, Kameron. That's our job as parents." Christie said, making Kameron turn his head to her. "I'm worried about you everyday since you were born. Not just me, everyone in the family. Understand that if you're troubled, come to us. Talk to us. Please don't push us away."

Kameron's lips stretched into a frown. Adverting his eyes from his mother he directed them onto the floor. Here he was talking to his parents and yet the very thought of actually doing it never happened before. They were right in their words, no doubt about that, but as Kameron continued looking at the floor he gritted his teeth. It was so, so stupid of him to not do this earlier when he had so many opportunities to do so.

"Kameron." Green said, making his son look at him. "It's a very human response after you lose someone very dear to you. Do not hurt yourself over coming to us after realizing your mistakes. You are not the only one who has been through that. Understand?"

Kameron nodded.

"It takes patience and time for someone to heal through mental and emotional health. It doesn't go away so easily. And ignoring it only increases them, turning you into someone you don't want to be." Green said as he placed a hand onto Kameron's shoulder. "You may continue to see Dr. Waybright if you wish, but acknowledge that your family is here too to help you just as you help us when we need you. You are not alone in this complicated world, okay?"

Kameron's lips soon shifted into a small smile as he looked at his dad. Green returned his smile as they stood up. Without a word both father and son embraced each other. At times like this...Kameron couldn't help but be glad his dad was still around. They soon separated from their embrace right as Green ruffled his son's hair.

"Is your father the only one who gets a hug?" Christie pouted as she stood up.

Snickering, Kameron turned to his mother and embraced her. They both released a sigh of relief as they slowly increased their hug strength. They both then released themselves from each other right before Kameron leaned forward, kissing his mother's cheek.

"Los amo a ambos." Kameron said in Spanish.

"Nosotras tambien te amamos." Christie replied in Spanish.

"Now go to bed. You have school in the morning." Green added.

Kameron turned to his father and nodded. He then walked over to the door and quietly exited out of the room.


November 27th 7:40 a.m.

Pulling up to Dewey High School, Kameron slowed his speed down and maneuvered his car into an open parking spot near the entrance. Parking the car he turned off his engine and took off his seat-belt just before he got out. Lapis and Steven soon got out of the car too. As they did Steven handed his brother his bookbag, which Kameron quickly grabbed and placed on. Closing their doors Kameron locked his car and the trio made their way to the sidewalk.

"So...Big brother. Glad to be back?" Steven asked.

Turning his eyes onto the school's front entrance Kameron couldn't help but crack a smile. But...his smile soon disappeared.

"A little bit. Though I'm more concerned on what happens after I step inside." Kameron replied as they walked.

"It'll be fine." Lapis assured. "Besides, you know the others aren't gonna hold it against you."

Kameron hummed at her words. That part would be true. But...Kameron could only fabricate on what could happen once he sees his friends again. What should he say? What are they going to say to him? What will come after that? The scenarios kept repeating in his head over and over like a record-player.

Turning her eyes to see Kameron's uncertainty Lapis rolled her eyes and took his hand into her own. In doing so made him turn his head to her as she softly smiled at him.

"Don't overthink this. Whatever happens, happens. I'm right here with you when it happens." Lapis said softly.

Kameron felt his cheeks burn at Lapis' hand in his. Her words soothed his worries like the ocean waters flowing against the sands on a beach. His lips couldn't help but smile at her as he increased his grip on her hand, but not to overdo it.

Steven smiled at his brother and Lapis. These pass nine days...were a little tough without him. But Kameron was back again and this time he was glad his brother was happy. There was a lot to catch up on for him, no doubt about that, but Steven and the other will help him get there when they're was needed.

"EVANS!"

The happy vibe the trio felt soon went away at the sound of that voice. They each turned around to see Zac Armstrong and Kevin Turner standing near Kevin's Himitsu X-12. Zac was glaring furiously at them while Kevin merely smirked. Both of them soon closed the doors of the car and walked up to the trio.

Seriously? Now? Now of all times does this have to happen? Kameron literally just go back to school and he hasn't even gotten through the front entrance yet.

Letting go of Lapis' hand Kameron groaned as he stepped up to Armstrong. Just as he was gonna ask him what he wanted Zac pushed him to the ground without warning, leaving Lapis and Steven stunned at his actions.

"This is all your fault!" Zac yelled.

"What are you talking about?" Kameron replied as he stood back up.

Right as he did Zac stepped up and grabbed his jacket, pulling Kameron closer to his face. His glare tightened even more with veins pulsing around his head as he stared at the freak.

"The coach kicked me off the team!" Zac yelled.

Kameron blinked at the jock before narrowing his eyes. "How is that my fault?"

"Because of your stupid girlfriend!" Zac addressed. " Your girlfriend and freak#2 got me suspended! So you gotta pay up, freak!"

"Honestly, you and that little twerp shouldn't even come to this school at all." Kevin added as he adjusted his hair. "Especially that blue girl. This school is for humans only, not aliens."

Lapis soon glared at both Armstrong and Turner. Steven did the same while growling at Turner. Who the hell did this guy think he is? Treating people like this and satisfying his own stupid ego.

Gritting her teeth Lapis' eyes started glowing. "You both have five seconds to let go of Kameron and walk away."

Neither Armstrong or Turner were intimidated by her glare. However...Steven was, especially considering what she was capable of. Kameron turned around to see Lapis' death glare. A small sense of fear started to surge within him. He wasn't scared of Lapis, but more concerned on what she was gonna do.

Zac huffed as he tossed Kameron to the ground. "Or what? I'm not afraid of some-"

Whatever words Zac was about to say were stopped as Lapis dashed up to him and leaped into the air before kicking him right in the face.

Time felt like slowing down at that very moment. Kameron, Steven, and Kevin all watched Zac fly through the air.

Holy shit... - Z said.

Kameron couldn't agree more. Watching Lapis deliver that kick was...wow. At that moment there weren't really any words to say at such a sight.

Zac soon crashed onto the ground, gawking at how hard he impacted and bounced slightly up before coming back down.

Lapis landed back on the ground and softened her grip on her bag. Her eyes began to dim as she marched up to Kevin, grabbing his shirt and pulling him dangerously close to her face.

"Take your bitch and move on before I take your car and end the both of you." Lapis said with venom in her voice.

Kevin gulped at her with sweat falling down his face. The look she was giving him was a very, very clear indication on not to mess with her at all. And so he quickly nodded as Lapis released her grip on him as he ran over to Zac.

With Kevin helping him up Zac growled at Lapis.

She was unfazed by it as she turned around and walked up to Kameron, offering him her hand. Without a verbal response Kameron accepted it as she helped him up.

"This isn't over, freaks!" Zac yelled.

"Right now it is." Lapis replied. "As much as me and my boyfriend would like to kick your asses, we're on school grounds. If you want to settle this, name the time and place. Otherwise, shut up and move along."

Zac growled even more, but his animalistic growls were then halted by a hand on his shoulder. Turning his head he saw Kevin giving him narrowed while shaking his head.

Even though he wanted to continue with this, Zac clicked his tongue. As much as he wants this to resume, this wasn't the time. And so both him and Kevin glared at the freaks while heading over to the front entrance.

Watching them leave Lapis then turned to Kameron, "You okay?"

Kameron nodded. "I'll live. But I'm more surprised on that kick you performed. Normally you'd use your powers without a second thought."

Lapis soon smirked at him, "A lot happened after nine days. Chelsea taught me a few moves. She had a pretty good teacher."

Kameron smiled at her, but hearing Chelsea's name made the smile lessen. There was definitely gonna be hell to pay when he sees her again.

"Uh, guys." Steven called. "We gotta go. The bell is gonna ring any minute."

Hearing him Kameron and Lapis jogged toward the front entrance with Steven not far behind.


November 27th 10:00 a.m.

*Ring Ring*

At the sound of the bell First Period was over.

Gathering his things and putting them into his bookbag Kameron placed it on and headed out the door with Lapis and the others.

Coming back to Art Class was great. Mr. Rayner was very thrilled to have one of is best students back, though that didn't mean he was going to overlook the assignments that Kameron had missed out on. Kameron was a little annoyed, but understood since there was gonna be a truckload of homework for him to catch up to, but that's the price for saving the world. Even if you save people and prevent catastrophes from occurring, you still have to do school work.

Heading to Second Period Kameron gripped onto his strap. The moment was coming and growing with every second he walked.

Switch time? - Z asked.

'Not now.' Kameron replied in thought.

We had a deal. - Z reminded.

'I'm aware of it. Just let me see them and then our deal will happen. Got it?' Kameron replied.

Ugh. Fine. - Z groaned.

Heading outside Kameron and Lapis made their way to the gym. Once they both got inside they went their separate ways to get to the locker-rooms.

Going into the boys' locker-room Kameron took notice of Lars and Ronaldo getting ready. When both boys turned their heads at the sound of the door they both froze. Right at the entrance was him...their best friend, awake and in the flesh. Seeing them Kameron gave them both a wave and a small grin, but right as he walked up to them Ronaldo ran up and embraced Kameron.

"You're here! You're here, you're here, you're here!" Ronaldo cheered as a fountain of tears exited his eyes.

Kameron grunted at the force of his friends affections, though he tolerated it as he smiled at Ronaldo. However, as touching as this reunion was, there was only one small setback...

"Good to see you too, Ronney. But I'm not very comfortable getting hugged with you only in your underwear." Kameron said.

Realizing was Kameron just said Ronaldo's face immediately burned as he quickly released his friend while covering himself.

"Ack! Sorry, my bad!" Ronaldo replied.

Kameron giggled a bit from his reaction before turning his eyes onto Lars. As he did he noticed how Lars looked a little more...muscular than the last time he saw him.

"Hey, man. You've been working out?" Kameron asked, walking up to Lars.

Without a verbal response Lars walked up to Kameron and wrapped his arms around him. Stunned by his action Kameron quickly returned it.

"Yeah... Had to keep myself busy." Lars replied.

Kameron patted his back as they let go of each other. Once they did the two shared a fist-bump.

"I'm sorry for making you all worry." Kameron said.

"Dude, we all knew you'd wake up. The hero of Earth ain't gonna go down that easily." Ronaldo replied as he put on his gym uniform.

Kameron smirked as he went and opened up his locker. "I'm not a hero, Ronney. I'm a guy who does what needs to be done." He added as he took off his bookbag and started changing.

"Yeah, well...try not to get yourself killed again." Lars said as he resumed changing.

"Can't make that promise. But I'll try not to get myself killed on purpose." Kameron replied.

Getting their uniforms on the guys went out the door, but as they did Zac, Kevin, and their group popped in. Walking passed them neither group said a word as the trio walked into the gym while their enemies went into the locker-room.

Making their way toward the center of the gym the boys quickly spotted the girls on the benches. Going up to them Chelsea got up from her seat and marched right up to the guys. A harsh glare covered her face as stood dangerously close to Kameron. Locking eyes with her Kameron softly looked at her while Chelsea's glare increased.

"You're mad." Kameron said.

"Mad doesn't being to cover it." Chelsea replied, seething through her teeth.

Figuring that a punishment was to come Kameron held his arms out. "I deserve it. Hit me with your best shot."

Gripping her hands Chelsea gritted her teeth even harder. Her body shook began to shake the more she glared at him. Lifting her leg everyone watched, thinking a kick was going to come to Kameron. But...she lowered her leg and instead embraced him.

A small gasp exited Kameron. He was expecting a kick to the stomach. A kick to the groin. Her stomping on his foot. But...none of those outcomes came. Instead...his punishment was much softer than he realized.

"You're a fucking idiot." Chelsea said as she tightened her grip. "A master shouldn't leave their students behind. You better make this up to me."

Kameron hummed as he returned her affection. "When you're free, how about I give you more lessons?"

Chelsea soon released herself from him as she wiped her eye. But she then punched Kameron's arm, making him flinch. Seeing his reaction made her grin as he rubbed his arm.

"Sure. I'll be glad to properly kick your ass when I see my teacher again. The only reason you're getting off easy is because my sister's here." Chelsea replied.

Kameron couldn't argue with that. And speaking of her sister Kameron looked over to the other girls and approached them. Right as he attempted to speak Angela stepped up and grabbed his cheek.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!" Kameron yelled through her grip.

"Do you have any idea how worried sick we were about you?" Angela said firmly.

"I'm sorry, Ang. I'm sorry." Kameron whined.

Angela soon released his cheek and huffed. But afterwards she embraced him. "Sorry, not sorry."

Kameron smiled as she soon released him.

"Glad to see you're okay." Sadie said as she walked up to him. Though as she looked at him she looked a little uncertain for a moment, "You...are okay, right?"

"Yeah, I'm okay." Kameron replied. "No side-effects or drawbacks. Except a lack of energy, but I'll deal."

Sadie smiled as they shared a short hug.

Once they were done Scarlett and Brittney approached him and without a word both girls pressed their lips onto his cheeks, stunning him and burning his cheeks. Both girls soon pulled away before Scarlett flicked his nose, making him flinch.

"That's for making us worry, Double-Eyes." Scarlett said as she wiped her eyes. "But...I am happy to see you again."

"Totes." Brittney added. "It's really good to see you again."

As Kameron rubbed his nose his lips stretched into a smile. Not exactly the type of reunion he thought would go down, but regardless, he was with his friends again. At the moment...that's all that mattered to him.

"Yo, Evans!"

And just like this morning...the positive and joyful vibe he was feeling began to drain at the sound of that voice.

Kameron and his friends turned their head to see Zac, Kevin and their crew approaching them. Just when Kameron attempted to step up both Lars and Chelsea stepped up to the bullies with narrowed eyes.

"Back off, Armstrong." Lars said with confidence.

"Badass just got back. You wanna mess with him, you gotta go though us." Chelsea added.

"All of us." Lapis added as her and the others stood up to the bullies with narrowed eyes.

Kameron could only silently watch his friends standing up for him as he too gave the bullies narrowed eyes. Honestly...this was a strange change of direction he was witnessing. Normally it was the other way around, but right now...it was his turn to be protected.

"Relax, dweebs. As much as I want a brawl, I have a different suggestion in mind." Zac replied. "I've had it with you dorks, so what do you say we all settle this in a different way?"

"Whatever you're selling, we're not buying." Sadie said firmly.

Kevin scoffed, "Typical. Here we are, hoping to finally settle the score once and for all. And yet, you wimps can't even accept that? You really think your better and smarter than us, don't you?"

"Who said we were?" Lars asked. "We're not better than any of you jerks. And we're not smarter than anyone in this school. All we have to do is the homework. That's it. If everyone just put in the effort into the stupid homework then things would be different. Hell, I don't like doing homework, but I do it anyway so I can pass and not get held back."

"That's all that any of us can do." Angela added. "Why is it so hard for you, jerks? If you're struggling I can get some tutors to help you. All you have to do is ask. Is it really that hard to ask for help? Because apparently, in this day in age, is it."

Zac immediately glared at her as he balled his fists, but Kevin quickly put his hand out in front of him, calming the beast slightly.

"C'mon..." Kevin replied with a small grin. "Hear us out at least once?"

The group of friends continued narrowing their eyes at the bullies. Neither one spoke to them as their aura of strength increased.

Seeing how the dweebs weren't gonna listen to them Zac, Kevin, and their group walked away from them right when the Coach came into the gym.


November 27th 12:00 p.m.

Approaching the door Kameron placed a hand on the handle and turned it, opening it up and allowing himself and his friends access to the other side. Closing the door behind him Kameron joined with his friends as they all gathered into a circle and sat down to enjoy the most famous and important part of the day: Lunch Time.

"Hey...uh...Kameron?" Lars said.

Getting his attention Kameron turned his head to him, "Yeah?"

Looking down at his large lunch bag Lars slightly bit his lip. Shutting his eyes he started to rapidly shake it before raising it back up to his best friend. Today was the day and he was damn sure to do it today.

"While you were in a coma..." Lars said as he paused. "...I wanted to make something for all of us when you'd wake up. So..." He added as he opened his bag and brought out a large container.

All eyes were placed on Lars as he opened up the contain to reveal what was inside. Inside the container...there was a large purple roll with white cream inside of it and globs of it on top. Most of his friends looked at it with awe while the rest looked at it with confusion.

"Uh...no offense, Lars, but...what is that?" Brittney asked.

"It's an Ube." Lars answered. "It's one of my favorite dishes from the Philippines. I used to eat it all the time when I was a kid. My dad would often make it before teaching me how to make it."

Sadie then looked at Lars right as her lips stretched into a sly grin, "Wow. Look at you. A boxer and a chef in one."

Turning his head to her Lars felt his cheeks immediately burn from her comment while his eyes adverted from hers.

"That looks really good, Lars." Kameron commented. He then raised out his right arm while his Gemstone started to glow. From it small spheres of light erupted out of it before they dimmed and revealed themselves to be plates. "Let's dig in."

Passing a plate to everyone Lars opened up his utensil packet and took out the knife before slicing the Ube. Using a fork he put a piece of Ube on the place and passed it from person to person. Once everyone got a piece the moment of truth came.

Lapis looked down at her place while holding her fork. Normally she'd disagree with this since she doesn't require food, but...Lars was her friend too, so at the very least she will try his cuisine for him. Cutting off a piece with her fork she picked it up and placed it in her mouth. The moment it touched her tongue her eyes expanded almost immediately...followed by a small moan.

"Wow... Lars, this is delicious." Lapis said before chewing and swallowing the Ube.

"Oh, yeah. This is really good." Kameron added, digging into his friend's cuisine.

The others moans while eating the Ube, agreeing with Kameron and Lapis while stuffing their faces.

Lars smiled at the response he got. The nervousness and butterflies in his stomach were beginning to settle down as he dug in too.

Although...as everyone was enjoying Lars' dish Kameron's joyful vibe was beginning to decrease. It wasn't on the sense of being around his friends again, but...taking into consideration on what he was leaving behind. Right here, right now his eyes were open to the people he cherished, yet his previous mindset was willing to just toss them aside. No... Never again... He can't think like that.

Taking another bite out of the Ube, Kameron swallowed his final piece and put his plate down. "Hey, guys..." He said softly.

Hearing his voice the others turned to him. Seeing his somber expression they could tell something was on his mind.

"What's wrong?" Scarlett asked.

Taking in some air into his nose and exhaling it out Kameron opened his mouth, "I know this won't mean too much, but...I'm sorry. I really am sorry."

The joyful vibe in the air was now gone. Instead it was replaced with a vibe of regret and sorrow. The look in Kameron's eyes... The sound of his voice... It was all very genuine.

"Badass." Chelsea said, gaining his attention. "We've already forgiven you. Don't beat yourself over it."

Kameron shook his head. "I can't. I've come to realize just how important everything is in my life. I was so...blind to my anger, my grief, my vengeance, that I kept myself distant from all of you. That isn't fair on your parts. And I know that many others have been through circumstances like me, but I was just too stubborn to just take a step back to see you all wanting to help me. I've been a bad friend to guys."

"Hey, don't talk like that." Sadie said as she placed her plate in her lap. "Sure, you can be stubborn, but who hasn't? You're not a bad friend, Kameron. You just...needed time until you were ready to open up."

"That's true." Angela added. "Remember how me and Chelsea were after our father's funeral? Neither of us wanted to talk to anyone, yet you all tried to help us no matter how many times we denied it. You helped us through our despair. And we're willing to return the favor as many times as it takes."

The positive vibes were slowly coming back the more Kameron listened.

"Totally." Brittney added as she wrapped an arm around Angela. "That's what friends do. We help each other."

Kameron's lips slowly stretched into a small grin. He then looked at Lapis and saw how right she was about this morning. Overthinking this was...too much. Over analyzing every single detail within interactions was kinda pointless. So...he needed to keep both his mind, heart, and soul in sync when engaging with people. Not just his mind, but his other parts. They were just as important as his brain.

Soon a gasp exited Chelsea's mouth as she snapped her fingers. "Hey, I've got an idea. How about we all hangout this weekend?"

Angela narrowed her eyes on her sister, "Chelsea. You know that all of us have to study for finals."

Chelsea narrowed her eyes back onto Angela, "Not unless we form a study group. Besides, when was the last time we all hung out together?"

Everyone opened their mouths to answer, but no words came when they gave her question some thought. Honestly...with so much going on in each of their lives, when was the last time they all truly hung out together? The New Year was right around the corner and their time as Juniors was going to end. Once their Senior years kick in things won't be as they use to be anymore.

"Sure. That sounds like a good idea." Kameron replied.

Can I introduce myself now? - Z asked in annoyance.

'This weekend. No later than that.' Kameron replied in thought.

Z growled in his mind. It wasn't fair. It was the beginning of the week and to wait that long would feel like an eternity. Z then calmed himself. He'll have to be patient. The deal was still on, but if Kameron prolongs it he'll have to take matters into his own hands.


December 3rd 2:00 p.m.

Driving through the streets of Destiny City Kameron and his friends headed toward Fountain Plaza, one of the most iconic areas in the city. Uptown, Downtown, The Far East, The Far West. Each one of these locations are all connected to this one area. Passing a stoplight the group of friend saw a massive fountain at the center, though they were unlucky it wasn't spouting water due to the lower temperatures, but hopefully they'll see it again once spring hits.

Passing the fountain the group entered Note District, being famous or infamous for it's wide selection of music. If there was ever a place to look for music or enjoy it, then this is the place for you.

Going over to the right Kameron slowly and carefully parked his car in-between two other cars right before he turned the engine off. Right as a car passed them Kameron and the others took off their seat-belts and got out. Getting onto the sidewalk the group of friends all stared at their selected choice of activity for the day: The Lyric House.

"Uhh... I'm not so sure about this." Lars said with uncertainty.

"Yeah..." Sadie agreed. "By any chance, can we do something else?"

Chelsea shook her head, "No way. I've always wondered what kind of voices you all got, so that's why we're doing this first."

Kameron and Lapis continued staring at the entrance of the building with uncertainty. Well...since Chelsea was a singer in a band there, there was always a possibility that she would want to know how the others sing too. Guess today's the day to find out.

"Let's give it a try." Kameron encouraged.

"And if it's not working we'll do something else." Lapis added.

Chelsea grinned at their responses and started heading in while the others followed.

Getting a room Kameron, Lars, and Ronaldo took center-stage. Apparently the "bad voices" were to go first before the more angelic and soothing voices could heal the earaches after. The girls sat on the sofa, looking at the boys who stood side by side while holding their mics.

"You guys ready for this?" Kameron asked.

"Not really." Lars replied. "I'm not that good at singing."

"C'mon, man. Let's wow these ladies." Ronaldo encouraged.

Taking a breath the boys looked back at the screen to see the lyrics.

[Song Start]

The Boys:

Find the bad guys, push 'em aside.

Then move on forward with your friends by your side.

It's a Multi-Player Game,

so when they make an attack,

You know you gotta have your friends gonna have ya back.

Then you stay on track and remain on course.

If they give you a smack, gotta use your force.

And if you leave your friends behind, it's lame.

'Cause it's a messed up world,

but it's a Multi-Player Game.

[Instrumental]

Ronaldo:

Dudes, we are cool and awesome with no need to reset.

No-one else but me thinks that as of yet.

We aren't losers in this High-School Phase,

It's alright, why do we need praise?

We like video games, anime, want some dragon tattoos.

All the people here appreciates, and soon we'll be together when we're through.

'Cause guys like us are cool in college.

Cool in college, ya I know.

Guys like us are cool in college.

Cool in college, listen bros.

High-School is hell, but we'll navigate well.

Just wait and see,

It's all a Multi-Player Game.

[Instrumental]

Lars:

As buddies, we have fought together for years.

Both Life, our parents, and our popular peers.

Now we've advance on this level and we're gonna move on.

In just two years where upon, we'll be the guys that are cool in college.

Cool in college, it ain't so lame.

I get it.

Guys like us are cool in college, but we're not in college.

It's not the same.

High-School is whack!

But we'll have each other's backs.

Just wait and see!

It's a Multi-Player Game.

[Instrumental]

Kameron then stepped up and looked at his male friends.

Kameron:

You both should know, you're my favorite people.

Who always strive for their dreams.

Ronaldo and Lars smiled at him.

Lars:

Is that really true?~

Ronaldo:

We're your favvvvvvvoorrite people~

Kameron nodded.

Kameron:

We will always be a team.

High-School is shit!

And we'll help each other conquer it!

As I've come to see~

The Boys:

It's all a Multi-Player Game!

Multi-Player Game~

Multi-Player Game!~

Multi-Player Game!~

Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Song End]

As the boys were done singing they each looked at the girls, whom looked at them with widened eyes. That was their first response to their singing, only thing left is to see what their second response was gonna be. Expecting a sense of awkwardness coming to them the boys turned away and got off the stage right when the girls raised their hands and started clapping.

"Wow. That was actually very decent." Chelsea said.

"Chelsea. They were great." Lapis replied.

"They sure were." Sadie added.

The boys gave a bow and placed the mics back on the table.

"Alright! Sadie. Angela. Scarlett. Brittney. You're up." Chelsea inclined.

Sadie looked at her with eyes shot opened. "Uhh...shouldn't the Queen Of Rock go next?"

Chelsea shook her head. "Me and Lapis will go after you. Besides, we both know you've got a great voice, Sadie."

Sadie blinked at her as her cheeks started to burn. I mean...sure, she can sing, but that's more of a private matter. She has told her friends she can sing, but...never actually sung in front of them before.

"Okay, let's do this." Brittney said energetically while taking Angela's hand and going on stage.

Without much of an option here Sadie got up and took a mic before going on stage. As the boys sat down she took a breath and looked at her friends standing beside her.

[Song Start]

Sadie:

When I was young, life wasn't all that fun.

Looking back now, there are many things I should've done.

My life can get crippled by fear.

But today I'll give a performance and that's why we're here.

So... We're looking forward.

Scarlett:

We're looking forward.

Angela:

We're looking forward, now.

Brittney:

We're looking forward.

Scarlett & Angela:

We're looking forward.

Sadie:

We're looking forward now.

[Instrumental]

Scarlett:

It's hard to live your life in strive.

There are many different feelings that we feel inside.

Angela:

It's not so easy and it's strange.

Brittney then took Angela's hand, making both of them blush.

Brittney:

We are people and the people we are can make a change.

So... We're looking forward.

Angela & Brittney:

We're looking forward.

We're looking forward, now.

Both girls glanced at each other and smiled softly.

Sadie & Scarlett:

We're looking forward.

We're looking forward.

We're looking forward, now.

[Instrumental]

[Song End]

As the girls finished singing the boys started to rapidly clap.

"That was incredible!" Kameron cheered.

"Totally!" Lars added.

"You're voices are so beautiful!" Ronaldo added.

The girls blinked at them, but then they started to giggle a bit and bowed. They then got off stage and put the mics down right when Lapis and Chelsea went up.

"Alright Water Angel, you ready for this?" Chelsea asked.

Lapis looked at the mic in her hand and then pointed her eyes onto her friends. Moreover, her eyes were on Kameron. Right here and now she was going to show her voice to the boy who means so much to her. That alone made the emotions in her flow like rapid water, but...if everyone's doing it then she should too. She then turned her head to Chelsea and nodded.

"Good. Because you and Kameron are gonna do a duet." Chelsea said with a cheeky grin.

Both Lapis and Kameron turned to each other with widened eyes.

"Chel, that wasn't the arrangement you made." Kameron pointed.

"Psh, so what? I wanna see you love birds enchant us with your voices instead. Unless you're too scared to do it in front of us?" Chelsea replied with a knowing grin.

This definitely apart of the plan at all, yet all on where then planted on Kameron. His cheeks began to burn as he stood up to take a mic and go up to the stage again while Chelsea took a seat next to her sister.

"You planned this, didn't you?" Angela asked.

Chelsea shrugged. "It's my job to make sure these two admit their feelings without having it get dragged on."

"No, it's not." Scarlett said.

Chelsea shrugged again.

Standing next to Lapis both of their cheeks started to blush, but...their lips started to stretch into small grins as the music started playing.

[Song Start]

Lapis:

I don't need you to give me reasons to want you.

I don't need you to search for proof that you should.

You don't have to convince me.

You don't have to be afraid, you're enough.

'Cause what we have going is good.

Lapis then walked up to Kameron, taking his hand into hers.

I don't need reminders of all that's been broken.

I don't want to fix what we cannot forget.

There's no chance we can start over.

Only quiet the voices in our heads.

We can't go against all that.

Lapis increased her grip on Kameron's hand.

So now it's us.

Now it's us and only us.

And what came before won't count anymore or matter.

Let's us try that.

What if it's you?

What if it's me?

And what if that's all that we need it to be?

And the rest of the world washes away.

What do you say?

Kameron increased his grip on Lapis' hand as he gulped. Raising the mic to his lips, he gave her an answer.

Kameron:

I always had someone like you who would want me.

Lapis blinked at him.

And I won't give you any reasons to never let me go.

And if you really see me.

If you like me for me and nothing else.

If that's what you wanted for longer than I've possibly known.

We can be us.

We can be us and only us.

And what came before won't count any more or matter.

We can try that.

Both of them locked eyes as their blushes deepened.

Kameron & Lapis:

It's not too impossible.

Kameron:

Nobody us. Just the two of us here.

Kameron & Lapis:

'Cause we're saying it's possible

Lapis:

We can make sure the whole world won't disappear.

Kameron & Lapis:

And you're the only one that I'll be able to see.

Kameron:

Just you and me.

Lapis:

It'll be us.

It'll be us and only us.

And what came before won't count anymore.

Kameron & Lapis:

We can try that.

You and me.

That's all that we want it to be.

And the rest of the world washes away.

And the rest of the world washes away.

The world washes away...

The wold washes away...

And it's only uuuuuuuuusssssssss~

[Song End]

Right as Kameron and Lapis finished their song they lowered their mics as they faces got dangerously close to each other. Without uttering a word their lips soon locked onto each other's. Closing their eyes they both held each other with one arm, deepening their kiss.

As this was happening the rest of their friends watched from the sofa. To see a display like this happening right in front of them was enough to have them smile at the couple.

Right as Kameron and Lapis separated their lips their eyes immediately shot open right as they turned to the others smiling at them. Soon their friends started clapping for them right as they separated themselves from each other and walked over to the sofa.

"Not bad, love-birds. Not bad, but now it's time for the Queen Of Rock to rock out. If there's anything you all have to tell me before I go, now is the time." Chelsea said as she stood up before going over to the stage.

'Z, this is your cue.' Kameron said in thought.

Nah. Maybe other time - Z replied.

'What? Isn't this what you wanted?' Kameron asked in thought.

Another time, other half. I don't want to interrupt what's going on right now. Enjoy your moment. - Z replied.

Kameron attempted to speak to him again, but grinned as he looked at Lapis.

"You okay?" Lapis asked.

Kameron nodded as he kissed her cheek. "Yeah. I'm okay."

Lapis smiled at him as they watched Chelsea put on her best performance.


Interview#1.5

Within the white room Z walked on-screen and made his way toward the chair sitting in the middle.

Taking a seat Z smirked at the audience in front of him.

Z: Hope you all enjoyed the Episode. Honestly, I wanted to meet everyone, but I would've killed the mood.

Z bent his body forward and intertwined his hands together.

Z: Although...I will say this. This little "change" the other made here was only because they weren't clearly. That's the biggest problem we've got deal with them. They don't think when it comes to storytelling, but they're trying.

Z then stood up from his seat and approached the camera. When he got close he swung his leg at it cracking the camera and having it fall on it's side. He then bent over, looking at the cracked camera.

Z: Next time, I'll find you all. Kick you without hesitation. Stomp on your skulls. And slice your bodies in half.

Z stood up and walked away while the camera began to show static.
