Payton! Payton!" Lulu shakes her to wake up. "What?" Payton opens one eye and takes her headphones out. "Look." Lulu points out the window. Payton looks down and sees the city and the Dallas ball and all the cars. "Home." Payton smiles. "Lulu I'm home!" Payton shrieks. "Oh my god. This is amazing. I miss it." Payton looks at lulu and smile. The rest of the flight Payton looks out the window in amazement until they land.

"Is this real?" Payton turns to Levi. "This is." Levi smiles. "Thanks guys so much for being on this journey with me." Payton hugs the two. "Ready to go?" The American idol camera crew walks over to their aisle. "Yep! We'll meet you out there." Payton smiles. She pulls out her phone and turns her phone off airplane mode. She sees a snapchat, Twitter and text from Trevor and Savion. "Balloons for Pay!" Trevor's snap chat says with a pic of him and Savion and he also posted the pic of Twitter. Payton smiles and reads the text from Trevor. "Can't wait to see you! 👽" Payton smiles and opens the text from Savion. "We are here!!! I wanna squeeze you tightly!" Payton reads it and laughs

Payton smiles and puts her phone away. Her, Lulu and Levi walk out off the airplane and down the hallway out to the main terminal. Payton sees the camera crew rolling and she sees Trevor, Savion, her dad and some of her friends from her high school. "WELCOME HOME!" Everybody says in unison. "Oh my gosh!" Payton squeals and runs over to her dad. "Daddy!" Payton hugs him tightly. "I missed you cupcake!" Her dad says and sets her down. "Trevie!" Payton runs into Trevor's arms and holds him tightly. "I can't believe you're here!" Payton says resting her chin on his shoulder. "I'm so glad you're here!" Trevor let's go. "Savion!" Payton smiles and hugs him. "How's it going?" Savion hugs her back. Payton turns around and sees her friends from her current high school. Lindsey, Holden, Noah, Adriane and Mattie. "Thanks so much for coming guys." Payton smiles. "Alright Payton, we have a busy schedule for the next couple of days." The American idol producer guy told her. "Alright, well let's get home and then you can tell me the schedule." Payton smiles. "Sounds good!" He smiled. Everyone went home and Payton, her dad and Trevor went to Payton's house along with the camera crew.

"This is my room!"

"As you can tell I'm a pretty big fan girl."

"Here's a picture of me in football. You can see I'm the only girl, kinda awkward."

"I keep food in here by the way. I keep them on my desk so I don't have to go downstairs."

"My guitar. I had this since 8th grade and I love it."

"I keep my football gear in my closet."

"Football. Pads. Knee pads. Helmet"

"I have some tickets for concerts and an autograph"

"My favorite part of my room....is my bed."

Payton finishes showing her room to the camera and heads downstairs.

"So this afternoon around 12 or so, we will go to your high school and then after go to your middle school to surprise a fan of yours. Later today, you have a radio interview and tonight you have a show at the celebration park." The producer guy tell her. "Cool! What about tomorrow?" Payton asks. "Tomorrow morning you are gonna be on the Good Morning Texas and if you want, Trevor wants you to go to his high school and do a show and meet n greets." The producer guys answers. "Awesome! Sounds good I'm excited!" Payton smiles.

"Ok so we are on our way to my high school..I'm really excited." Payton says to the cameras. "Home of the Eagles!" Payton looks out the window. They arrive at the school and they see students outside of the school waiting. "This is crazy!" Payton laughs. The car stops and Payton gets out along with the camera crew. There were screaming fans and beautiful faces. She took pictures and signed autographs as she made her way to the front doors. She walked inside and headed her way backstage in the cafeteria. The stage had a big banner across the top that says "CONGRATS ON TOP 6!" She watched as many students crowded into the cafeteria by the stage.

She walked out on stage and there were screams and claps and cheering, She smiled looking into the crowd seeing familiar faces. Payton sang a couple of songs and did a Q&A session. She finished and headed to the gym for a meet and greet. A lot of people took pictures and talked for a while and Payton spotted a couple of her hometown friends. After the high school gig, her and the camera crew went to her middle school to surprise a fan. "The same teachers I had at this school still work here so I'm gonna stop by and say hi to them before I surprise the fan." Payton says to the camera. She arrives at her middle school and she walks in to the front followed by the camera crew and walks to the main office. "Hello!" Payton walks in smiling. "Oh my gosh hi!" Mrs. Perez, the counselor, smiles and gives Payton a hug. "How are you?" She asks Payton letting go. "I'm great! and you?" Payton smiles. "I'm doing just fine. I'm just gonna say, that a lot of students here really love you." Mrs. Perez looks to the cameras. "Well good them I'm gonna surprise them and do a little gig." Payton smiles. "Thats wonderful. Just tell us when to send them to the gym." Mrs. Perez smiles. Payton says hi to the rest of her office staff and she walks to the choir room to see the director. She walks in and all eyes are on her and the cameras. There were gasps and screaming. "Hey guys!" Payton smiles walking towards the choir director Mr. Buntyn. "Hey! Payton! What are you doing here?" Mr. Buntyn smiles. "Just visiting from the show." Payton laughs. "I stood right where you are standing in 7th grade." Payton points to a 7th grade girl and she smiles. "Can I hear what you got?" Payton asks. "Of course! We actually worked on a song you sand on the show!" Mr. Buntyn looks at Payton. "Really? Which one?" Payton asks. "You're gonna have to see for yourself." Mr. Buntyn raises his eyebrows and turns to the class. They all start singing Love Will Be There and Payton smiles tearing up. The class finishes and Payton claps. "Recognize that song?" Mr. Buntyn turns to Payton. "Yea. Me and Daniel sang that." Payton laughs. "Well that was beautiful thank you guys!" Payton smiles. She gives everyone high fives and walks out to other classes.

"Ok, now it's time to go to my buisness class with Mr. Halverson. He was my favorite teacher! And, we are gonna surprise a fan and her name is Emma and we are also giving her tickets to the show next next week. So lets go." Payton tells the camera crew and they walk to the class room. Payton knocks on the door and Mr Halverson answers it with a shock look. "Hi!" Payton smiles and looks into the class room. "Hey! Look at you!" Mr H smiles. Payton walks into the classroom and the students gasp and put their hands over their mouths. "What's up?" Payton smiles. "hi!" the students say in unison. "ok, where is Emma?" Payton looks around the room. Emma raises her hand and Payton looks at the computer in front of her and sees Emma. "Come here!" Payton takes Emma's hand and pulls her to the front of the class. Emma stands up with tears in her eyes. "I have a surprise for you." Payton looks down at Emma. Payton smiles and pulls out the tickets. "Oh my gosh." Emma says with tears in her eyes and hugs Payton. "Thank you so much!" Emma lets go. "You're welcome. You fly in on Monday for the show on Wednesday." Payton smiles. "Thank you!" Emma smiles. "Dont lose these babe." Payton hugs Emma and takes her seat. "Whatcha working on in here now?" Payton turns to Mr. H. "We are working on our superhero projects." Mr. H tells Payton. "Oh I loved those." Payton smiles. "Emma why don't you show her yours." Mr. H looks at Emma. "Are you sure?" Emma looks at Payton with a shy look. "Yes! I would love to see it." Payton smiles at Emma. Emma gives her a shy smile and stands up to the front computer to pull up her PowerPoint in front of the class.
"My superhero is named VIP." Emma starts to say.
"Her real name is Payton Vaughns. When she's not a superhero, she competes in singing competitions with her boyfriend Daniel, and her best friend Jax. Jax is Payton's sidekick and they fight crime together. They are like superman. They have strength, power and loyalty. They would do anything to protect the world and everyone in them. VIP's superpower is being herself. She doesn't need a cape or mask on her face. She does everything to fight. She's strong. She's my hero." Emma finishes. Payton smiles with tears in her eyes and claps along with everyone in the crowd. "That was beautiful!" Payton looks at Emma. Payton hugs Emma and gets a picture. "Well it was so nice meeting you! And so nice seeing you again Mr. H." Payton smiles. Payton leaves and she starts her gig.
She finishes her performance and does her meet n greet. After, she leaves and goes back to her home and eats dinner with her dad.
