Seventeen ~ That one's not Dog-Eared!












Presley, Luke, Julie, and Reggie are all Rehearsing in the Studio for the dance waiting for Alex to come back from his Museum date with Willie.

Right after Alex walks in and asks what they need to practice for, Flynn walks in with complete Flynn sass "Dance news! I don't have a date. But it's okay because i'm so psyched to see you guys perform."

"Aww man we're playing a dance?" Alex says unamusedly.

"Of course dude, that's how we get a following nowadays." luke responds, sinking into a nearby chair

"Yea get with the program Alex," Julie Laughs, and Presley puts down her guitar to go pick up her song book.

"What? The guys are here? Hi guys!" Flynn says, looking into the complete opposite side of the room.

"Wrong way sweetheart." Presley says, now holding her songbook.

Flynn turns the other way and waves, then  waving at Presley as well.

"Well now that Alex has Graced us with his presence, can we start working?" Luke questions.

"Yes! We're gonna rehearse wanna stay?" Julie asks Flynn.

Right after Flynn says she will stay instead of blowing up balloons for the dance, Julie's brother Carlos walks in causing Presley to throw her songbook out of reflex and accidentally hit Luke in the head. "Sorry! Reflexes,"

"Remember those orbs in dad's pictures?" Carlos asks, while walking through Alex, "Well I think they're ghosts. But don't worry, this room is... this room is clean, I'm not getting any ghost tingleys"

"Wrong again little dude," Reggie jokes, Presley walking to stand in between Reggie and Luke.

"Have no fear if they come back I will protect you!" the little kid goes on a mini rant about how he is the man of the house, Presley zoning out while playing with Luke's hair, only zoning back in when the boy says "According to the internet, salt burns their souls out."

The three ghost boys look at each other worriedly, while Presley is about to laugh. As a little girl, Presley would look at every ghost book in the library since the boys teased her for believing in ghosts, she knew the salt trick was a hoax, after all she was convinced her dad haunted her house, and salt never changed it.

As Carlos dashes salt where each of the boys are, earning no reaction from Presley, small yelps from both Reggie and Luke, and Alex... Well, it was a very Alex reaction.

"No! Oh God! I'm- I- oh. I'm fine. Fine, totally fine."

Julie gestures to Flynn to get Carlos out of there so the band can practice, luckily she takes the hint and has the younger boy salt her a path to the kitchen for snacks.

"Remind us later we have some sunset curve songs to show you," Luke said, grabbing his guitar again.

Julie's interest is peaked "oooh show me now,"

Agreeing, Luke went over to get his songbook, but paused realizing Reggie once again left one of his country songs in there. "Home is where my horse is. Reggie stop leaving your country songs in my journal!"

"It was a gift!"

"Thanks, I dog eared the ones I think you'll Slayy!"

Flipping through Luke's song book the curious Julie pauses on a special love song, "what's Late Last night?"
