Alex was freaking out, the way he fiddled with his fingers and the heavy breathing made it very clear. Mo tried to hold his hand, somewhat panicking as well, but he pulled away. Hurt flashed in her eyes. "Wait, were those holograms?" A girl in the crowd screamed up at Julie. Relief washing over the girl.

"Yes! Yes, they were holograms." The girl pointed at another girl in the crowd. "I plugged it into the ceiling projector before the show. I'd explain it, but it involves algorithms and science stuff." The students applauded and cheered.

"This is wild. They could see us when we were playing, but not when the music ended." The ghosts all nodded. "Flynn can see me," Mo whispered more to herself than to the others.

"We should double-check." Reggie ran up to the stage, shaking his ass at the audience behind him. "Yeah, I don't... I don't think they can see us." He whispered to them.

Alex was done with his antics, putting his hands in his pockets, "I wish I couldn't see you..." Mo let out an unattractive snort.

"Ok, people, the show's over. Let's get back to class." The principals' voice echoed through the room.

Reggie was trying to gain the attention of one of Carries' dancers.

"Hey there. Hi. Reggie'' He introduced himself. Shaking her head, Mo walked over to her best friend. "Come on, she can't hear you Reg. Buddy, you're a ghost. We've got other things to discuss." He didn't listen. "Could I call you sometime? What's your number?"

The girl shrugged, walking back to the others. "He's hopeless."

Mo glanced over to Julie who was talking to a woman, possibly her music teacher. Julie looked in her direction, she gave her a thumbs up.

The boys dragged her out of the gym and into the hallway, mumbling something about boundaries and privacy. NOW they suddenly respected them.

Feeling like a burden to people has always been a problem for Mo. She tried to be there for the others and knowing what they're going through, she rarely talked about her own fears. So she stayed quiet about Flynn, at least for now.

They turned a corner. "Let's make a pyramid for when Julie comes around! I bet that she would really enjoy it!"

"Reggie, I don't think that's necessarily the best idea you've ever had. Someone could seriously get hu... nevermind you're already doing it." The boys froze for a second, looking at Mo for approval. She nodded, a smile tugging on the corner of her lips.

"At least let me help you..."

When Julie turned the corner, she saw Alex and Reggie at the bottom of what was probably supposed to be a human pyramid. Luke had both his feet on the former's legs, trying to stabilize himself, while Mo sat on his shoulders, her hands grabbing his head.
