The D-Tribe (Rewritten!)

Chapter 9: The Finals

Three hours passed since then. The lyrics were written by Rhea once again. The song was produced with melody by herself and Ray. After one-in-a-half hours, the song is already finished. After showing it to Diona and Ralpha and teaching them the melody and how they should sing it, the Daniels rehearsed it inside the Master Bedroom. It happened in another hour in half that they finally got used to playing the melody of the song and singing it.

Right now, their car drove back to Cru Point. You can't miss the smiles of gratitude on the Daniels' face as they were excited to be back in the show.
Once they arrived, they all parked the car nearby one of the entrances to the mall. Once you entered, you can see McDonald's on your right.

After Ray parked the car, they exited the car in different directions. Ray is on the driver's seat and Diona is on the passenger's seat, so it's obvious that they exited the car in different directions. Same goes with Rhea and Ralpha. In their usual journey in the car, you can see Rhea sitting behind her dad's backseat with Ralpha being on the other side.

When they came out, you can see them in new outfits. Rhea was wearing hot pink shirt with magenta skirt and purple leggings. She was also wearing purple rubber shoes and gold stud earrings. Ralpha was wearing green shirt with blue denim shorts and black and white rubber shoes. Diona was wearing a white shirt with black leggings, black and white sneakers, gold leaf-shaped earrings and a golden bracelet wrapped on her right wrist. Ray was wearing a gray shirt with black pants, black and white Nike shoes and the same Rolex watch.

The Daniels walked their way towards that entrance and ate dinner in McDonald's. Ray had ordered Big Mac with Diona having Chicken McDo. Ralpha had ordered McBurger while Rhea had Mushroom Pepper Steak. As usual.

Usually, Rhea would order Mushroom Pepper Steak when it's dinner time while in snack time, she would order Chicken McNuggets and fries.

The Daniels prayed to God and gave Him thanks before eating. After eating, it was Ray who paid the bill. Then, they exited McDonald's, then the mall entrance.

The Daniels walked their way towards the entrance to the concert, where the Finals take place. The arch and the fence seemed to be covered in blue cloth. The shape of the arch is like a castle. The royal castle.

Once they went through the entrance, the first thing they did was to head their way among the area where seats were provided for the audience. Ray had texted his friends — Johnnie, Jenny, Jayden, Eli, Nicholas and Celia — about what had happened earlier before the production of music. This texting moment happened while Rhea was writing the lyrics for the song in the Finals.

Blank. Emptiness.

That was the only thing they saw in the seats. No one is there. Not even a single person showed up. Ray's watch moved to his sight. The time was read as 7:30pm.

Seems like they should start arriving by now, he thought.

Regardless, he shrugged it off and his head looked around. His eyes were searching for one of the employees who set up this concert for the Finals. After about seven seconds, he found one of them. Nearby the right of the stage. But he's not the employee. He was the security guard He was seen standing there with his arms on his sides of the body.

Ray took a lead to the security guard, with Diona following him behind. The next one to follow was Rhea, then Ralpha being the last.

Their feet stopped when they arrived one meter away from the security guard. The security guard nodded in greeting.

"Hi, D-Tribe! Welcome back!"

"Thank you po, sir. It's an honor for us to be back in the contest," Ray said, nodding in reply. "Do you know where we can find the backstage?"
