Chris thought her life couldn't get any worse, losing her mom the night they got into a huge fight, her little sister shutting out the one thing that made her who she was, and the rest of her family acting like they're moving on, but she knows they...

"I got a spark in me, hands up if you can see. When you're a part of me, hands up if you're with me. I got a spark in me, hands up..." Ray sang, as Julie came down stairs getting ready to start the day, only to see her father and boy she is secretly starting to like jamming out in the kitchen.
"This is new." Julie said as she sat down her stuff for the day.
"Yeah, I decided to cook some breakfast for your sister as an apology for last night and to also surprise her today, since it's her birthday and all." Ray said as he scrapped what was in the pan.
Reggie started to laugh as he pointed at the older man. "He thought you were talking to him, me and your dad are pals now. It's a little one-sided, but it works."
"Look, after the talk we had the other night, I was thinking that I may have cost you and your sister an opportunity with that manager. So, I was thinking-"
"Dad, no. I should've never snuck out. Plus It wasn't Ris fault, I kind of was the one who talked her into driving us up there to exact." Julie said to her father.
"Let the man speak." Reggie said, looking at the girl. "He's been stress eating all week, I don't know where he puts it though. It's, like...firm." Reggie gestured to Rays abdominal area, making Julie a little concerned if she's ok with her crush hanging out with her father, even if he couldn't really see his new pal.
Ray looked at his daughter, "I know, but I really want to support your band, so I called in some favors, and I booked you a local gig." Ray said happily, as the two teens started to be overly excited about the news.
"Best dad ever! What?" Reggie said, looking at the girl.
"Oh my gosh. Where? Did you call your buddy from Drakes?" Julie questioned, only for her father to give her the sad smile. "Not quite. I called Flynn, and she's gonna help us throw a birthday party for your sister. Here, tonight." Ray said, looking away from the girl, who quickly lost her smile. Yeah, she cared about her sister and wanted to celebrate her birthday with her, but she also knew the girl really was against celebrating today.
"Oh!" Julie said, "So you booked us a gig at our house? To celebrate Ris's birthday? Is she even ok with the idea?"
Reggie looked at Julie, in a disappointed way. "Maybe I was early with the Best Dad Ever award. Though it is nice that he wants to make Chris's birthday special in a way." Reggie shrugged at the end, before looking down.
