EVERYONE HAD made it to Salt Lake Slices. Cups in hand and cheers of joy spreading around. Everyone sat a close to each other as they could. Smiling, laughing, and celebrating, like nothing had changed in the past couple of months.

"Tonight was one for the record
books." Ashlyn cheered.

"I literally don't even remember
being on stage." Carlos confessed.

Seb smiled, "The rest of us will never forget it."

The bells at the front door chimed
and soon Lily and Antoine stood in
front of the others, boos from the
others being heard.

Shiloh hit Evie's arm and took away her napkin they had thrown their pizza crust in.

"Come on." Evie sighed, "Imagine her face when the crust hit her."

"Okay, easy, Wildcats. We just came
to congratulate you all." Lily said.

"Congratulations?" Jenna questioned.

"It is true. Your show had a
beginning, a middle, and an end. It
was wonderful." Antoine smiled, "And Big Red, you were also in it."

A beat of silence passed before
Ricky stood from his seat, ushering
the two out of the restaurant. He walked them towards the exit.

"In case we never speak again... I like you, Ricky." Lily sighed.

Jenna caught a glance of Shiloh; the two of them sat close by as Lily and Ricky spoke. She sunk into her seat.

Lily continued, "I like your big, brown eyes and your big, round hair."

"Lily, look..."

"Okay, I'm just saying. Sometimes people deserve a second chance."

Ricky turned slightly and watched as Shiloh rested her head on Jenna's shoulder. Jenna wiped Shiloh's face. He turned and faced Lily.

"I know... and sometimes people take those chances for granted; at least... that's what I was told." Ricky sighed, "So, I hope I can get mine... again."

Ricky soon returned to the tables as Lily and Antoine left, a somewhat
expressionless look on his face.

"Can you guys imagine if they
actually win at the Menkies?" Big
Red asked.

Kourtney scoffed, "Honestly, and
don't sue me, but I kind of don't care
anymore if we win or lose the
competition."

"Are you serious?" Evie asked.

"I actually feel the same." Gina said.

"Okay, I thought it was just me."

"Are you guys kidding me right now?" Evie continued, "We went through hell and back, and you just don't-"

Madison quickly silenced them, but soon Ashlyn spoke.

"I get it, Evie. Are we just letting the whole competition go, after all this work?" She asked.
