Prologue
[Brewster High School—Kacey & her friends were in the middle of their history project but, got distracted by a phone call from Kacey's phone which was her father Master P a.k.a. Mr. Percival Simon 'Percy' who wanted to check on his baby girl]…
Kacey and her friends were in Mr. March's class discussing the war in Pearl Harbor between the Japanese and the American soldiers who lost their lives during War II where their teacher Mr. March decided to let the class watch the movie 'Pearl Harbor' starring Josh Hartnett, Ben Affleck (Super H.O.T.) entered Kacey's mind. Kacey was sitting between Stevie in her left side and Zander in her right side while Nelson and Kevin were sitting across from them in their table as they were doing a project together.
During the movie, Zander looked at their history teacher Mr. March as he decided to take a nap and decided to talk to his best friend who he secretly has a major crush but, right now he's conflicted because there are times where they had these moments where he could've sworn that she would want him to kiss her but, always held herself back which he's determined to find out what's holding her back from them being a couple but, right now he's taking his time.
"Hey Kace," Zander whispered.
Kacey didn't answer as she's very into the movie. She didn't even notice her head was laying on Zander's shoulder feeling herself a little sleepy.
"Psstt Kacey," Zander whispered.
Stevie raised her eyebrow, tapping on Kacey's shoulder causing her to turn to Zander with a confuse look.
"Yeah?" Kacey asked
Zander held his breath almost like he couldn't breathe but, shook his head "Umm are you uh busy for uh—"
"Busy for—" Kacey asked.
"Spring break," Zander blurted out.
"What about Spring Break Zan?" Kacey asked with a yawn covering her mouth.
"Umm I was going to ask if you—" Zander began to say feeling more nervous than usual "Gong to ask you too…too…"
"To do what?" Kacey asked.
"Umm if you're busy with—"
"Zander wanted to know if you're busy in your spring break Kacey," Nelson quickly added.
Kacey blinked her eyes owlish obviously surprised by this and gave a shrug "Umm no not that I know of. Hopefully I'll think of something I usually spend my spring break with my 3 older brothers Jay, Rene and Blaise with our family, so it depends on our plans I guess," she explained.
Zander looked shell shocked as he thought she was an only child but, apparently, he was wrong. When did this happen. Kevin and Nelson looked curious but, knew Zander had a huge crush on Kacey but kept it to himself; they were just waiting on Zander to admit his feelings for her.
"Huh three older brothers? I thought you were an only child?" Zander asked
Kacey shakes her head "No I'm not an only child I have about …8 siblings. Six brothers and two sisters," she explained.
Zander felt a little dumb as he didn't know this information.
"Why didn't you tell me that before?" Zander asked.
Kacey shrugged at this "I don't know…maybe because you never asked me," she murmured as she paid attention to the movie.
"I see…" Zander looked disappointed not even noticing Stevie had this curious and suspicious look towards him until he saw her look "What?"
Stevie squinted her eyes shaking her head "Nothing," she murmured paying attention towards the movie. It's been an hour and a half that Mr. March eventually woke up with a loud yawn causing Kacey to yawn as she felt very sleepy.
"What time is it?" Mr. March murmured.
"It's almost lunch time Mr. March," Kacey yawned covering her mouth grabbing her compact mirror looking at herself that she gaped at herself and sighed fixing her make up; she grabbed her make up bag and decided to fix herself up and nodded in satisfaction not noticing that Zander stared at her "Okay I'm good. Hopefully we'll have a good lunch," she explained.
The bell rang; Lunch bell—everyone is heading to the cafeteria to get their lunch.
"Ahh that's the bell. Alright kids you have homework on what we watched on Pearl Harbor, here's your homework don't forget it's due by the end this weekend. Have a good one kids," Mr. March explained.
"You too Mr. March," Kacey and her friends explained.
"Thank you I defiantly will," Mr. March smiled feeling a little happy about his weekend "Oh Kacey I got a package for you. I nearly forgot about it," he quickly added.
Kacey blinked her eyes owlish "A package for me?" she asked.
Mr. March nodded at this "Yes I believe it's from your father?" he told her.
"My dad?"
"Yes,"
Kacey looked at the package looking a little suspicious "Usually daddy doesn't send me things especially at school," she began to say putting the package inside her Prada backpack "Thank you Mr. March," she quickly added.
"You're welcome sweetie," Mr. March explained.
"Come on guys lunch awaits," Nelson announced.
"Coming!" Zander told him following Kacey and Stevie not far behind as he scolded to himself.
'I really need to stop that,' Zander thought to himself.
(a/n: I'm just letting you know that there's going to be a back and forth between Gravity 5 (Kacey & her friends being in the band of Gravity 5) and Lemonade Mouth; don't worry there's going to be some changes around the story; stay tuned)
[Mesa High School in Dallas, Texas]…
Lemonade Mouth [Stella & her friends]
Stella Yamada just entered her English class which unfortunately her archrival Ray Beech happened to be in this class; she sighed tiredly as she sat in left side in the back while he's in the right side with the popular group while she's with Mo, Charlie, Liv & Wes. Stella couldn't help but, thought about Scott and Ray's friendship but, feel bad for him not that she'll admit that to anyone of course but, she knows how to feel betrayed from your best friend picking the love of their life over friends or in this case the band; hell, it happened to her before she moved to Texas.
Hopefully this spring break vacation will take her mind off things; she had some good news to share to her friends her parents told her that she can bring her friends to Hawaii to a Caribbean Cruise for two whole weeks; no drama, no boys no nothing at least to her anyway but, then she thought about Scott's best friend Ray again.
'Damn it why do I keep feeling bad about this…I shouldn't be…I mean Scott made the decision to join us…to be with Mo…' Stella frowned at this looking at the couple. Ever since they got back together they been tied to the hip; Scott even promised that he wouldn't treat her like he did before which was one of the reasons why they broke up in the first place; Scott realized that he shouldn't pretend to be someone he isn't which is one of the reasons why he left the band and didn't want to bully or put anyone down again that includes Mo and her friends at least that's what he claimed anyway.
The minute her parents announced the surprise because after winning the singing competition; Stella's parents were so proud that they ended up giving her an early birthday present by going to Hawaii in their spring break which was the best birthday ever!
[Stella's flashback from this morning]…
"Good morning princess," Stella's dad greeted her "Good morning boys,"
"Good morning daddy," Stella murmured eating her breakfast.
"Good morning dad," Tim and Andrew both murmured.
"Your mother and I have an announcement?" Mr. Yamada announced.
"Oh yeah what's up?" Stella asked pouring orange juice.
"Well, you know your birthday is coming up soon princess," Mr. Yamada began to say causing Stella to nod at this "And your mother and I been thinking we should plan a party for you," he explained.
"Eh I'm not really into that whole 'wearing a dress' type of person daddy you know that" Stella pointed out.
"She's right she's not," Mrs. Yamada replied.
(a/n: it didn't say Stella's parents' names so I'm going to make it up—Taichi Ishida Yamada 'Tai' as Stella's dad & Mimi Yamada 'nee Woods as Stella's mother so no one will get confused)
"Gee thanks mom," Stella sarcastically says.
"Not that it's a bad thing sweetie," Mrs. Yamada quickly added before another argument between her and her daughter starts "But, since you made a good life in Texas here; you made friends and even started a band called Lemonade Mouth which we're very proud but, as you're growing up quite fast sweetheart, we're just worried that you don't want to go to college," she explained.
"Who said I never thought about college. I just started looking into a couple of colleges before we moved from New York," Stella pointed out.
"You did?" Mr. Yamada looked shell shocked causing Stella to turn to her dad feeling a little hurt causing him to clear his throat "Of course you did what colleges did you apply too," he explained.
"Not a lot…just ummm…" Stella tiredly began to say, "There's one in NYU since it's in New York," she started listed the colleges she wanted to go "Then there's one in Oxford University which is in London," she explained.
"That's very far," Mrs. Yamada explained.
"I know there's also one in Hawaii that I was looking into but, I haven't applied yet since it's still a little early but, I thought about a lot of things lately and as for my birthday you don't have to throw a big bash for me. There's also one in Japan," Stella pointed out.
"Japan!?" Mr. Yamada looked shell shocked over this "Why Japan?"
Stella shrugged at this "Well I am half Japanese daddy I always wanted to live there ever since you told me stories about your home country it made me think about living there as well," she explained.
"Really"
"Yes really,"
"How long have you been thinking about this?"
"Not very long…since the guys and I came back home from the singing competition …it's making me think about the future ya know,"
"That's great sweetie but, speaking of your birthday since you don't want a party which we both know you don't, so we thought about something else,"
"Something else? What do you mean?"
"Well…we knew you wanted to go to Hawaii since you were a little girl when we went to Disneyland, so we decided to intervene and changed the plans for your birthday this year?"
"Which is…?"
"How do you feel about cruises?"
"Cruises?"
"Yes,"
"Like sailing across the ocean kind of cruise?"
"Yes,"
"And going to different cities depending on where we're going too?"
"Something like that yes,"
"I would love that very much; a vacation is the type of thing that I need after the whole ideal,"
"Yes, yes it would so…?"
"So…?"
"What do you think of going to a Caribbean cruise for your birthday too….Hawaii,"
"Hawaii,"
"Yes,"
"For how long?"
"Well, how long is your spring break?"
"I won't find out till this week in Monday but, I'm assuming it's two weeks but, I'll let you know beforehand though,"
Her parents grinned "That''s great because we booked your birthday cruise for two weeks but, if you want to extend it just let us know and we'll set it up,"
"This is my birthday present,"
"Let's just say it's an early birthday present,"
"Are you serious,"
"We're dead serious obviously you have to bring the twins Andrew and Timothy since we can't leave them here since your father and I do have some business in Australia, so we'll be meeting you within a week when we head to Hawaii,"
"So, you'll be leaving all three of us alone in a Caribbean cruise,"
"Not technically alone we also booked…extra tickets for your friends,"
"You—"
"Booked tickets for your friends,"
"How many tickets?"
"Well, we had a sale so about 12 tickets,"
"12 tickets,"
"Yes, there's you, Timmy, Andrew, that's three tickets along with us that's five, then your four friends Wen, Liv, Mo & Charlie with his older brother Tommy since I already talked to Charlie's parents who insisted that Tommy should be the chaperone I'm sure you'll figure it out for the extra tickets," Mrs. Yamada suggested.
Stella blinked her eyes owlish "Yeah maybe but, I don't know who to give the last ticket too though? I mean…I don't know a lot of people besides my friends," she pointed out.
"True…true…" Mr. Yamada explained.
"But, that's 10 tickets we don't need two more tickets daddy that's enough for everyone," Stella pointed out.
"Well what about Scott?" Andrew asked.
"Scott you mean Mo's boyfriend?" Stella asked looking at her little brother.
"Yeah him, he told us that he would be more than happy to teach us how to play the guitar," Timothy pointed out.
"Well there you go," Mr. Yamada began to say nodding his head "Maybe he can bring his friend what was his name…ummm Ray. He can bring Ray didn't you say that they're best friends," he explained.
"Ray?! Absolut—" Stella was about to protest but, then remembered the promise she made for herself and sighed, kicking the floor "I suppose he can go," she muttered under her breath.
"What was that sweetie?" Mrs. Yamada asked.
"Nothing mom. Do you have the tickets with you?" Stella rapidly changed the subject causing their parents to blink their eyes owlishly "Well?" she asked.
"Yes, yes we do, I'll send it to you thru email actually," Mrs. Yamada began to say pausing for a moment "By the way what is your email?" she explained.
Stella cleared her throat " 16 which is my business email but, my personal email is— 16 why?" she explained.
Mrs. Yamada blinked her eyes owlish "No reason I was just wondering," she murmured.
[end of flashback from this morning]…
(a/n: Just so you guys know I don't know her actual email address I just made that up since Lemonade Mouth the Disney movie is a movie, so you'r'e going to see a lot of names made up or similar so don't be giving me the highlights or rude comments about the email being fake and all that)
[present Mesa High School]…
"So …what did your parents say Mo?" Stella asked.
"Of course we're going to have a chaperone, Charlie's older brother Tommy is going to be our chaperon with his college friends whose inviting their little sister Kacey and her friends, so we'll be meeting them at the cruise," Stella explained rolling her eyes.
"Well, I'm sorry I'm just repeating what my parents said," Mo began to say causing everyone to stare at her 'really Mo? Your parents?' look causing her to sigh "Fine mainly my dad and you know how he is. I'm just repeating the message from him," she explained.
"Well, you can tell your dad to relax since my parents are going to be joining us within 2 weeks from now since they'll be in Australia for business and they'll meet us in Hawaii from there," Stella pointed out.
"Oh good, he also said no boys, no distractions and no boyfriends or I can't go," Mo quickly added.
Stella and the rest of the gang gave a blank 'but, you do have a boyfriend' look.
"I'm just repeating what my dad said okay no need to give me a look I know I have a boyfriend; Scott and I just got back together before summer started and we have to be serious since we're going to college soon remember," Mo pointed out.
"Yeah but, that's not till next year though," Liv pointed out.
"True but, my dad wants me to go to college. Probably in India which I'm not going to college all the way over there probably New York or something but, not India," Mo explained.
"Why not?" Liv began to say curiously got the best of her "India is a beautiful country," she explained.
"Yes, yes, it is but, my parents left India so I can have a good education obviously it's a lot to think about for me," Mo explained.
"True, true," Liv explained.
That was until Scott came into the band room with his guitar.
"Hey Scotty boy," Stella greeted him with a smile.
"Hey Stella, how was your summer vacation," Scott greeted her.
"IT WAS AWESEOME!" Stella excitedly began to say where an idea came thru her mind as a creepy sort of smile was upon her face "Hey Scott?"
"Yes?" Scott asked looking a little scared.
"Do you have any plans for spring break?" Stella asked.
Scott sighed tiredly "No not anymore," he looked stressed out mainly sad but, worried which made Stella curious "Why?"
"Why the long face Scotty boy?" Stella asked.
