Dahlia stands behind Luke as Reggie and Alex stand next to her before Julie walks in. "We're sorry," Reggie sings. "So sorry," Alex sings. "We're super-duper," Luke sings before getting on his knees. "Crazy sorry," Dahlia sings. "Sorry," they sing at the same time as they do jazz hands.

"In case you missed it, we're really sorry," Alex speaks up. "Yeah, I got that part," Julie says nodding. "We've been here for, like, three hours. Dahlia and Luke kept fighting about who should stand in front," Alex explains.

"We're sorry that we flaked last night," Luke speaks up. "We know we let you down," Dahlia adds standing in front of Luke as he stands up. "Yeah, and none of ha wanted to disappoint. You're the best thing that's happened to us since we became ghosts," Alex explains.

"So, in hopes that you'll rejoin the band, we booked a new gig," Dahlia says handing Julie a page. "A mega important, life-changing gig," Reggie adds. "Tons of managers go there. All we gotta do is blow them-" Luke says before Dahlia cuts him off. "Blow them," she says laughing. "Blow them away, you dirty, dirty girl," Alex says shaking his head. "Like I was saying. All we gotta do is blow them away and we're living the dream," Luke explains.

"So this means a lot to you, huh? Kind of how playing in front of my whole school meant a lot to me," Julie explains. "This means a lot to our band. This could open a lot of doors for us," Dahlia explains.

"And we need you in the band," Luke adds. "Of course you do because, without me, no one can see you guys playing," Julie explains. "It's not just that. You're our friend and the music we make together is good plus you're an amazing singer and writer. And as much as I love the boys it's really nice being on stage with another girl," Dahlia explains.

"So, if all of this is true, why'd you bail on me to get back at Trevor?" Julie question. "I'll tell you why. Cause there's only one thing you care about, and that's yourself," Julie says before walking away as Dahlia bites her lip.

"She didn't-," Luke says before Dahlia faces him. "It's fine. I just need a moment," she adds before poofing away.
