episode one: wake up - part three

Previously...

Before Ray could answer, they heard loud music coming from outside in the studio.

"What was that?" Carlos asked, coming around the corner.

"I think I left the radio on in the studio. I'll be right back," Jaida excused herself and stormed outside.

She entered the studio to find the Why Don't We boys rocking out on their instruments: Zach and Jack playing electric guitar, Jonah playing keyboard, Corbyn playing bass, and Daniel playing drums.

"Guys!" She shouted over the music and they made eye contact with her, but kept playing. "Guys, stop!" They still didn't so Jaida walked over and unplugged the amp.

"Hey!" Jack said and they stopped playing.

"The whole neighborhood could hear you!" She whisper shouted at them.

"Wait, they could hear us?" Daniel asked, setting his drumsticks down and standing up from his stool.

"Yes! And my dad and my brother!" Jaida scolded.

"So only you can see us, but everyone could hear us?" Corbyn asked, excitement clear in his voice. The other boys started to get excited too.

"This is incredible! People can hear us play!" Daniel exclaimed.

"We may be dead, but our music isn't," Jack said and they all did their handshake with each other. Suddenly, the studio door opened and Ray came in.

"Oh hey, Dad!" Jaida smiled, trying to "act natural."

"Hey...woah is this the junk that was in the loft?" he asked, walking over to the guys' instruments.

"What do you think you're calling junk?" Jack asked, backing away. Ray went over to Daniel's drum set and starting messing with it.

"Hey, stop touching my drums! Tell him to stop touching my drums!" Daniel exclaimed.

"What was that song you had on earlier? It was really good," Ray said walking back around to Jaida.

"Huh, he likes our music," Zach commented.

"We're Why Don't We," all five said in unison.

"Would you stop doing that? It's freaking me out," Jaida told them.

"Oh I'm sorry, honey, I didn't mean to intrude," Ray apologized and headed toward the door.

"I didn't mean it like that," Jaida said, causing her dad to turn back around. "I mean..."

"Hey, it's ok," Ray said placing his hands on Jaida's shoulders. "We'll figure this whole music program thing out, okay?"

Jaida nodded and hugged her dad tightly. After a few moments, he pulled back and left the studio. Jaida shut the door behind him and turned back towards the guys, an annoyed expression on her face.

"Why can't you guys just act like normal ghosts? Hang out in old mansions, I hear Pasadena's nice!" Jaida shouted, before leaving.
