Third person POV:

Tonight’s the night. The night of the big festival. Tons of people come to the festival from all around the country. Or some other place. Almost every year, more than three hundred thousand people come to the festival. People come for the food, shops and mostly, the music. Most music played at the festival is from small, unknown bands. And almost every year, people loved it. Most people donate tips to the bands too. Most bands got four to six grand in cash every year. And tonight, it’s finally Jules and the bands turn. After last night at the theme park, when Jessie and his lovers passed out together in his car, they woke up the next morning, took off school for the day, and got ready for the festival. They prepped all morning for the festival and as soon as they got dropped off for the festival, they went to the backstage as they were ordered and they got dressed in the little tents that were there. They didn’t want everyone to see what they were wearing. The whole stage wass an outside thing so Colin and Oliver were working on setting everything up. Speaking of the two, Colin still hasn’t said anything about telling Oliver his feelings. Poor Colin. But he’s staying positive. If he can’t tell his love his feelings, then all he want’s is for him to stay as best friends. Anyway, Jessie just changed clothes and walked out of the tent. Everyone else were still changing so Jessie was one of the first done. When he walked out though, he spotted Fritz in the back stage on his phone. Jessie made his way over towards him and Fritz noticed. He was stressed out. Almost shaking when Jessie made his way over. He looked up at him and craked a smile and stood up to greet him. He was kinda shaking and Jessie could see it. “Hey babe, you ok?” Jessie immedietly asked him. Fritz struggled to answer, “Y-Yea I’m ok. Don’t worry about it.” He told Jessie. Jessie wasn’t gonna let that slide. “Babe...” He said as he grabbed both of Fritz’s fragial, shaken hands. Fritz knew he couldn’t hide his feelings from Jessie. “These just so many people out there and I know everyone’s gonna look at me- and I know that’s the whole point of this, but-” “Babe, calm down.” Jessie stopped him. He could tell just trying to talk to Fritz that he couldn’t even try to make eye contact with him. Jessie cupped his cheeks and asked Fritz to look at him, with a gentle voice of course. Finally, Fritz gave him eye contact and tried to stay locked on his eyes. Jessie could see that sadness and fear in his eyes. It shattered his heart just seeing it. “It’s gonna be ok. We’re gonna rock the fuck out on that stage and they’re all gonna love you. Even if your scared, you can always stand next to me and play or with Riley or Jules, anyone to make you comfortable. If you wanna wear a mask or somethin, I’ll get you it. If you wanna stand behind me on stage, I can arange it. Fuck it, I’ll kiss you on stage if I have too. I know you got this shit in the bag Fritz. Just don’t think about anyone else but the music. Ok? I promise you everything will be ok.” Jessie told him. Fritz just sighed and placed his hand on Jessie’s. “You wouldn’t have to do any of that for me. I’m just really scared...” Fritz explained. “Hey, that’s ok. Like, I’m fucking terrified of going up on that stage.” Jessie said, shocking Fritz. “Really?” “Of course. I’m not the bravest gator to ever exist. I’m shitting bricks just thinking about going up there. But I know that even in the end, I’ve done it with you guys. And thats all that matters to me.” Jessie told him, placing a small kiss on his forehead too. That made Fritz happy. “Thats really sweet Jessie.” Fritz said. “Well, that’s the whole point of this to me. Fuck the people, all that matters is us spending time together.” “Yea... I guess you have a point.” Fritz said. “And you said Clare was gonna be out there. So act like your just playing for her or me or the band. Ok? I know you got this.” Jessie told him. Fritz sighed and just nodded. “I know, I know... I’ll try my hardest.” Fritz told him. “I know you can do it, Fritz.” Jessie told him. Fritz pulled his hands down from his cheeks and hand then in his hands. He looked down at them and huffed. “You wouldn’t actually kiss me up on stage.” He said, teasing Jessie. Jessie chuckled, “Hell fuckin yea I would. I may not be the bravest gator in the world but I’d happily walk my happy ass on that stage and smooch the shit outta you infront of the whole world.” Jessie said, making Fritz giggle. “Sure you would.” Fritz ajoked. “Oh, now I’m doin it.” Jessie flirted, making Fritz giggle. Jessie giggled too and then took a glance at his outfit. They haven’t really seen eachothers outfits yet. They wanted it to be a suprise. Jessie examined Fritz’s outfit. Fritz had a open cut belly kind of pinkish red hoodie with a thin maroon jacket around it. He also had navy blue ripped skinny jeans. Jessie thought he looked handsome. And he told him so, “You look handsome by the way. You might have every dude flirting with ya backstage when we’re done.” Jessie told him. Fritz giggled. “Says you. Your the one with no shirt on.” Fritz mentioned. “Its the style. And I ain’t impressing anyone. But you of course.” Jessie flirted again. Jessies outfit was a leather black jacket with spikes on it. He also wore navy blue jeans with a bullet necklace that he bought. Thanks to Juless ideas. “You look smoking.” Fritz told him. He just chuckled. “You like it? Jules came up with the necklace idea. I thought it was pretty neat.” Jessie told him. “Well I’m happy you took his advice. It really suits you.” Fritz said. Then suddenly, Oliver ran around the corner. “Hey Fritz! Could you help me carry something?” They asked him. Fritz joyfully accepted and quickly joined Oliver. Jessie gave him a smile before he left. Jessie remained alone. Until he heard a voice behind him. “That was really sweet of you.” The voice said. Jessie turned around to see Jules walking over towards him with his hands behind his back. Jessie smiled when he saw him. Jules was wearing a light blue designed t-shirt with a black ripped jacket and some black ripped jeans. Jessie thought he looked adorable. “He needed a lift. He was hella scared and he needed some lovin.” Jessie told him. “Well that was super sweet of you. He needs someone like you.” Jules told Jessie. Jessie decided to complement Juless outfit. “I love your fit by the way. It really suits you. And shows your eyes.” Jessie told him. That made Jules giggle and blush. “Thanks. I like your outfit as well.” Jules told replied. Jessie thought of something cheeky to say. “Oh, and I’ll tell everyone I’m taken, so don’t worry.” Jessie joked, talking about his open shirt. Jules laughed to that making Jessie chuckle too. “Oh and I um... I made you a little gift for tonight. I don’t really know what to call it but I thought that you might like it. Even if you didn’t want to wear it all the time.” Jules told Jessie. Then he removed his hands from behind him and revealed to Jessie a necklace. Jessie was suprised. The necklace looked to be handmade and had a symbol of a heart with an infinity symbol ontop of it. It was on a circular piece of wood with a goldfish type of metal to hold it in place. It looked beautiful. “Fritz told me that the infinity heart in polyamorous means infinite love. And I thought of you when I made it. So a couple days ago when you dropped me off at home, I went to my mom’s workshop and built it for you.” Jules told him as he held it out for Jessie. He took it and examined it in his hands. “I know it looks kinda cheeky and I completely understand if you...” Before Jules could finish, he saw Jessie unbuckle the chain and immediately throw it on around his neck. Along with his bullet necklace. Then he held it in his hands. “I love it.” Jessie told him. That made Jules really happy and a bright smile burned on his face. “Really? That’s awesome! I’m happy you do.” Jules said. Jessie just chuckled and hugged Jules. “Of course I love it. It’s from my little sweet bear.” Jessie told him. Jules just laughed and hugged him back. They held that hug for a moment. Jessie wanted to give him some encouragement. “You got this, babe. Your gonna show the whole world your talent tonight, and they’re gonna love you.” Jessie told him. That warmed Juless heart. “Thank you, love. I know you’ll do great too.” Jules told him. Jessie then pulled back and then gave Jules a kiss on the lips. It sorta suprised Jules at first but then he leaned into the kiss. Then they pulled away. Jules chuckled nervously. “I didn’t expect that.” He said. Jessie chuckled too. “Hey you cuties!” Riley then suddenly said while walking over to Jules and Jessie. They both released eachother from the hug now to face Riley who stopped up to them. “That was really cute by the way.” Riley told them. That made Jules and Jessie smile. “Gotta give this cute bear his confidence.” Jessie said, teasing Jules and making him giggle. “Are you ready for tonight Rie?” Jules asked him. “I’m hella ready. And kinda excited.” Riley said. “I wish we would’ve gotten Fritz to try and sing. But yeknow. I really hope he’ll be ok on stage.” Jules worried. “Oh he will. Imma kiss him up on stage when we finish.” Jessie told them his plan. “Really?” Riley asked. “Hell fuckin yea.” Jessie confirmed it. “Thats cute. He really needs confidence for tonight.” Riley said. Jules looked over at Riley and complemeted his fit. “I love your outfit, Rie. It really suits you.” Jules told him. Riley blushed slightly and thanked him. Rileys outfit had a purple kind of jacket with a ripped red shirt underneath and a pair of ripped black skinny jeans. “Thanks. I was kinda worried about the design.” Riley said. “Well I love it. You look so cute!” Jules told him. “Adorable even.” Jessie added too. Riley was flustered now. “You guys...” Riley said. That made Jules giggle seeing his blush. Then he looked past him and saw Brook and Chloe together. Chloe was jumping in joy just looking at how pretty Brook looked. Jules wanted to go say hi. “Imma go check on Brook and Chloe. Grab Fritz when 9you guys are done.” Jules told Jessie and Riley. As he tried to walk by Riley though, he placed a finger under his chin and gave him a quick and soft kiss on his lips. Then he pulled away and walked away. Definitely blushing from what he just did. Riley blushed madly too. “Wow, got swooped in by Jules. Didn’t expect that one.” Jessie teased him. Riley giggled. “I didn’t expect him to just kiss me so suddenly.but it was wonderful. He’s such a sweet bear.” Riley said. “Ha, you could say that a million times.” Jessie said, making Riley giggle again. Then he looked at Jessie and spotted the necklace Jules made for him. “Whats your necklace all about?” Riley asked Jessie as he walked over towards him and gently grabbed his necklace to look at it. “Jules made it. It’s a polyamorous infinity heart he told me. I think its neat. Hearts aren’t really my thing but this is really cool to me. And the fact that it’s from Jules.” Jessie told Riley. That made Riley giggle and he leaned up and kissed the gator right on his lips. It didn’t come to a surprise to Jessie though. He knew Riley would try this. So he kissed back. They held the kiss for a moment before pulling away to face eachother. “You so cute, ye’know that?” Jessie flirted with him. “And you unbelievable handsome.” Riley flirted back. They both giggled again and looked eachother in the eyes. “You wanna go grab Fritz now? I think we might be starting soon.” Riley asked Jessie. He agreed and Riley and him both made they’re way over towards the backstage. With Jules, he made his way over to Brook and Chloe and started talking to them. Chloe couldn’t help but tell Jules how beautiful Brook looked. They were still in the middle of the talk about it. Brook and Chloe had a somewhat similar outfit choice. Chloe had short cut light blue jeans with a pink open belly hoodie to match with Fritz. Brook had something similar, but her outfit was black short cut jeans with a open belly red shirt and a maroon leather jacket over it. She even dyed the tip of her hair green. Thanks to Jessie’s idea. Chloe was just telling Jules how much she loved it. “And her hair, oh my gosh it fits your style so well! It makes you look so pretty. And it’s definitely your color. Same with the red and black fit. Gosh your so pretty!” Chloe squealed, making Jules laugh. “Chloe, your gonna make me all blushy on stage...” Brook told her. “Ok ok. I won’t make you melt anymore. Your just super cute.” Chloe said, cupping both of her cheeks and giving her a quick kiss on the lips. Brook giggled to that. Jules was so happy that they were together. “It warms my heart to see you two happy together.” Jules told them. “Well thank you boyfriends for giving me all the confidence to ask her out.” Brook told Jules. “Yea. God bless them. Heh. All we need now is to get Oliver and Colin together.” Jules said. “What! Oliver likes Colin?” Chloe asked, making Brook shush her. “Colin likes Oliver, but he hasn’t asked them out yet.” Brook told her. “Oh.” “Yea. Hopefully he’ll tell them his feelings tonight.” Jules hoped. “We should get up to the stage. I think we might be starting soon. And maybe we can try and talk to Colin to get him to ask out Oliver.” Chloe gave them an idea. And of course, they liked it. They then all three made they’re way over towards the back stage. Meanwhile that was happening though, Fritz was helping Oliver move things around on stage. Colin was over in the other side of the stage. He seemed happy but Fritz could see the pain through him when Oliver was around. Oliver just plugged the guitar in and spotted Colin. “Hey, Fritz?” Oliver asked for Fritz’s attention. “Hm?” Fritz replied next to him. “Could you go check on Colin? He seems upset and I feel like he won’t tell me if I ask him. Oliver asked for Fritz. “Sure. I’ll go say hi.” Fritz accepted. Oliver thanked him and Fritz made his way over towards he knew what was wrong with him but still wanted to confront him about it. After he made it up to Colin, he greeted him. Jessie greeted the lovely fox back. “Whats up?” Colin asked him. “I just saw you moopin over here and wanted to see if your ok.” Fritz told him. “I’m ok. Just excited for tonight.” Colin lied. Fritz saw through that. “Colin? I know your situation and I understand how you feel. You don’t have to hide your feelings.” Fritz told him. That made him sigh. “Ok... I... Its just... Look at them.” Colin said, pointing slightly towards Oliver who was setting up the stage. “They seem so happy. And I love seeing that in them. But I’m so scared of telling them my feelings. I feel like we’re so close as friends that they wouldn’t want to be more than that. I’m just lost.” Colin confessed. That made Fritz upset. But he had a solution. “Colin listen, you will only hurt the longer you wait to tell them. And that can lead to so many outcomes that I don’t want you to face. But you have to try. I know it can be really really hard but I know even if Oliver doesn’t love you more than a friend, I know they’ll still love you as who you are. But you have to try. Ok? I believe in you.” Fritz told him. He just nodded and took a deep breath. “I guess I did tell Riley and Jules I would try tonight.” Colin said. “Then I know you can do it! Just bring them backstage and tell him how you feel. Ok?” Fritz told him. He took a deep breath and nodded. “Ok. Ok, I got ths.” Colin readied himself. Then he took his chance and walked over towards Oliver. Fritz was super excited now. He just had to listen to this. Colin walked over to Oliver and greeted them. “Hey Oliver... Could we um... Could we talk for a minute?” Colin asked them politely. “Of course, what’s up?” Oliver said as they both started they’re walk around the corner to the backstage. Behind Fritz came everyone else and he just had to tell them. “Guys! Colins gonna do it!” He told them. “Do what?” Chloe asked. “Ask out Oliver!” Fritz told them. That made everyone excited. “We have to listen in on it!” Jules joyfully said. “They went backstage, c’moll.” Fritz said. Ordering everyone to follow him. Meanwhile with Oliver and Colin, Colin just took Oliver backstage and stopped near a corner to talk. They both stopped and Colin turned to face him. Colin was so scared. “So what’s going on?” Oliver asked Colin. “I-I j-just wanted to talk about us a-and I um...” he tried to say, embarrassed. “Colin, it’s ok take your time.” Oliver told him. Then Colin took a moment and then spoke, “I’ve been thinking alot about you and I lately. Like, about our relationship together.” Colin started. That pulled Olivers attention. “I just... I’ve felt like we’ve been so close for so long that I... I grew feelings for you. Not like, friend feelings but like... More than friends...” He took another deep breath and then told him, “I love you, Oliver. I’ve been so scared of telling you because I thought you would only want to be friends. And we were so close that I didn’t want to ruin our friendship if you didn’t feel the same. Your one of the only people that make me happy in my life and I love you because of it. But yea... That’s what I wanted to talk to you about.” Colin confessed to him. Then he looked down to avoid eye contact. Oliver didn’t say anything. That made Colin tense. But then, Oliver finally did something. They just walked over and hugged Colin. It made him jump in confusion. Then Oliver spoke, “You know I’d never hate you for telling me your feelings...” Oliver started. Colin still didn’t know how to react. He didn’t know if he was rejecting him or what. “The fact that you’ve been with me my whole life, made me happy, changed my whole heart to care for the world, how could I not love you back?” Oliver said. That made Colin smile and jump. He pulled back slightly to be face to face with Oliver. “S-So does that mean you feel the same?” Colin said. That made Oliver smile. “I do. But... there is one problem...” Oliver started. That hurt Colins heart. “O-Oh...” Colin stuttered in fear. “Its um... I... I’ve never dated anyone before.” Oliver said with a little nervous giggle. “T-Thats ok, I haven’t either. We can figure it out together. We’ll play it slow and figure everything out together.” Colin told him. That made Oliver smile. “Ok! Let’s do it then!” Oliver told him. That warmed Colins heart. “Really? You wanna try it?” “Of course I do! If it’s with you, I’d never be happier!” Oliver told him. That made a big bright smile burn apong his face. “Awesome! I-I mean cool. That’s-Thats cool.” Colin said, making Oliver giggle. Jessie and the others were all watching from a distance. They were so proud of Colin. Anyway it was the most cring thing they’ve watched in awhile. But they were proud of Colin. Now he can finally be happy. They all snuck out of their hiding spot and made their way over towards Oliver and Colin. They didn’t wanna make it obvious that they were watching or anything. Chloe spoke first to catch they’re attention. “Sup cuties!” Chloe yelled to them. That made Colin and Oliver jump. They both looked over at the others making their way over and they both quickly seperated. “You guys givin out free hugs over here or something? Whats all that about?” Jessie teased them. Colin chuckled nervously to that. Oliver proudly answered. “It was nothing huge. Just Colin asking me out.” Oliver told them. Everyone fakingly jumped like they weren’t listening the whole time and this was news to them. “Really! Did you feel the same?” Jules asked Oliver. “Of course I did. How could I not love him back.” Oliver said, slightly looking over towards Colin. That made him blush and giggle slightly. “Thats adorable you guys! I’m so happy for you!” Fritz joyfully said. That made both Oliver and Colin smile. Then they were all inturupted by someone walking up to them. Turns out it was the manager of the festival. “You guys are on in five. So I recommend you get on stage and finish your set up. We’ve got way more people here then we’ve ever had, so this show better be the best show you’ve ever put on.” He told everyone. “Alright, we’ll get ready then.” Jessie told the man. Them he walked away, leaving the band. “You heard him everyone! Let’s get this show ready!” Oliver ordered everyone. Then Oliver, Colin, Chloe, and Brook ran off to get ready on the stage. That left Jules, Jessie, Riley, and Fritz behind. Jules glanced over at Fritz and complemeted his outfit. “You look handsome, Fritz. I love the style you got.” He told him. Riley said the same, “You look like a badass.” He told him. That made him giggle. “Thanks guys, you look just as awesome.” Fritz told them. “Are you guys ready for this? Cause I’m freaking out.” Riley said with a nervous chuckle. “Hey, were gonna rock their shit tonight. And you guys are gonna do amazing.” Jessie gave them confidence. “I know we’ll do amazing. I believe in us.” Jules said. “I’m still allowed to stand near the back with you, right Jessie?” Fritz asked him. “Of course, babe” Jessie replied. Then they all went quiet for a moment. Just to think. “Quad kiss for good luck?” Fritz asked everyone. And of course, they all agreed. Then they all leaned in and kissed. It’s a silly kiss but they don’t care. They pulled away and gave eachother a smile. “Alright, let’s rock n roll.” Jessie told them. Thousands of people were out tonight. Maybe more than thousands. It’s a pretty huge fest. Anyway, the timing for the band to play tonight starts at 8pm. And because it’s such a huge event, people gathered around the stage to watch the performance. So far, 8 years in a row, there hasn’t been one bad band. And there won’t be this year either. The band playing tonight is “The Starbounds.” Jules came up with the name. You could probably guess why they all thought that was good. But anyway, most of the festival had some students from the bands school. That counting the birds, the dogs, and the gator crew. But then there were some good people. Clare was there with her friend she had with her, Juless adopted parents were there, Jessie’s mom and dad showed up, same with the others parents. That including Riley’s dad. Standing from a distance. Everyone was there. And the band had to put on their best show. When the time struck for The Starbounds to go up on stage, they all quickly ran up and grabbed their instruments. From viewing poibt on the stage, Jessie was near the left side near the back of the stage with his drumset, Fritz was kinda near him but a little more near the front if the stage, just enought thought to be close enough to Jessie and behind Riley, Riley stood near the left next to Jules, Jules was on the right of Riley, Chloe was on the right of Jules but further back on the stage, and finally, Brook was back right of the stage. They were all in order and ready to play. And now, all they had to do is start. Of course though, it took a moment. Their first song started off with Brook on the keytar. And so, she started. After a few notes, lead to Riley, and then, the big opening, everyone started. Fritz and Chloe rocked on the bass and Jessie went ham on the drums as Jules started to sing. Their first song isn’t a long one, but it definitely required Jules to sing alot. It still required alot of work from everyone else too. And looking around at the audience, everyone was paying attention now. The gator crew noticed Jessie up on stage with Riley, the birds noticed Jules up with Fritz, Rileys dad noticed Riley and leaned in with interest, and so on. Everyone who knew them and now saw them together on stage made them interested. Fritz didn’t mind anyone in the crowd shockingly. As he thought. He mainly payed attention to playing for his band. Like no one was there. He just played like his loves were watching. Riley did great too. He loved playing his heart out as the lead as he listened to Juless sweet voice sing their song. And the people, they were almost stunned on how they played. Unlike the other bands, most of their songs were slow or indie like. Never has pop rock been played at the festival. And they thought they were doing amazing. Even Clare was so happy. Her little angle playing up on stage with his lovers. It made her so happy. Reminded her when she used to play. The Vand continued until finally, they hit the end of the song. After they finished, they waited a moment to hear the audiences reaction and they cheered. That suprised the band. So many people just cheered them on. So they played their next song. Then another, and another, until they finally finished a whole album. It was amazing. And the band were so proud of themselves. After they finished everything, Jessie did what he planned and got off his drumset. Through the crowds cheers of delight, it made Fritz happy too. He didn’t even care about his fear anymore. He was so happy. He saw Jessie get out of his drumset and immediately knew what he was gonna do. Jessie ran up to him and hugged him tightly. Fritz hugged him back. He was so proud of Fritz’s performance tonight. Then, he gave him a passionate kiss right on the lips, minding the crowd like they wouldn’t care. He released the fox and then hugged him tightly again. Fritz was flustered from the kiss but then hugged him back. Jules and Riley quickly ran over and joined in the hug with the other two. Fritz gave Jules and Riley a quick kiss too and hugged everyone tightly. They all just hugged back and laughed together. Chloe and Brook spung around with eachother and then hugged eachother tightly. After a moment or so, they quickly bolted off the stage after an announcement came on. “Thank you to our wonderful band tonight! If you enjoyed tonight’s music, make sure to drop a donation for them before you leave!” The announcer said. The band ran into the backstage and saw Oliver and Colin together. They noticed them and congragulated them. “You guys did amazing~!” Oliver cheered. “Oh my god we were amazing up there! Good shit everyone!” Chloe congragulated everyone. “You did amazing up there Brook! You rocked it up there!” Fritz told her. “Says you! You were fucking awesome!” Brook said back. That made him blush. “Hell yea he was! So was Juless sweet ass singing voice.” Jessie flirted with Jules. “Your rocked on those drums too. And Riley, that was the best lead ever! You all did awesome!” Jules said grabbing Jessie and Rileys hands. Then the manager of the festival walked over towards them. “Great show tonight. The people loved you all tonight.” He said. They all thanked him. “The festivals gonna be closing up soon so stick around then and we can pay you with the donations for your performance.” He told them. They all agreed and then stayed backstage until the festival closed. An hour and a half later, the festival closed and the band got payed and left the festival and walked to the parking lot. “Seven thousand dollars!” Chloe cheered as they were all walking over to the parking lot. “Thats eight hundred and seventy five each.” Jules said. “Yea, but we didn’t play, so really you guys should just have the money.” Oliver said, talking about Colin and them. “Hell no, the only reason why we’re here is from the help from both you and Colin.” Brook said. “But yall actually played, so just give one of us eight seventy five.” Colin said. “We already decided and we’re splitting it evenly.” Jessie inturupted. They all walked over towards the van, got in, and split up the cash. Evenly split and that made them all happy. They talked in the van for maybe an hour before driving back to Brooks house. They were so proud of themselves that they had to celebrate. Tommorow atleast. They’re all tired out. Anyway, they drove back to Brooks place and everyone got ready to split up after packing up everything. “We’ll celebrate tomorrow night at some restaurant or something. Ok?” Chloe announced to everyone as they finished packing up. They all agreed. “Alright. Brook, is it OK if I stay the night?” Chloe asked her. “Of course you can, baby.” Brook said. “Good night you guys!” She then said before her and Chloe made their way to the garage door. Everyone said bye. “You ok if I stay with you tonight?” Oliver then asked Colin. Colin blushed and nervously responded, “Sure!” Then they both said their goodbyes to Jessie, Riley, Jules, and Fritz and then left too. Then it was just the lovers left. They made their way over towards Jessies car and talked. You guaays were amazing tonight! I’m so flipping proud of us!” Jules said. “Your voice was beautiful though, Jules. You did amazing tonight as well.” Riley said. “I’m proud of fritz facing his fear and standing up near the front with you guys.” Jessie said, making Fritz sorta blush. “I listened to what you guys said and only focused on the music. So thanks to you sweet little stars.” Fritz said. “I’m still amazed that Jules convinced us to make our name ‘Starbound Rockers’ for the band.” Jessie said. “Well, Oliver thought it was cute and Chloe and Brook liked it.” Jules said, “Plus, I get to call you guys my superstars now! It works with the name.” That made Jessie laugh. “Superstars, huh?” He said. “Thats a cute name, I like it. That’ll be our like group name. Me and my superstars.” Riley said, making Fritz giggle. “Superstars is adorable.” Fritz added. The finally made it to Jessie’s car and Riley said something before they got in. “Hey um... I really don’t wanna go home tonight... can I stay with one of you tonight?” He asked everyone. Of course they knew why and they didn’t question it. But fritz had an idea. “You can stay with me. Clare won’t mind. Actually, I think we should all have a little sleep over. Clare would love to meet you all.” Fritz told everyone. “We could cuddle for the first time. And figure out how us four are gonna snuggle in bed.” Riley said. Jessie liked the idea. “If it’s just us, I’m totally down. My parents won’t give a shit anyway.” Jessie said. “I’ll text my parents that I’m celebrating with some friends tonight and won’t be home. They won’t mind.” Jules said. That made Riley smile and then he hopped in the back. Fritz then did too and Jules got in the passanger. And as soon as they got in the car, Fritz wanted to do a quad kiss. “Quad kiss?” He asked everyone. Riley adjusted himself to kiss and Jessie and Jules agreed too. Then they all leaned in and pressed their lips up against eschothers. Then, they finally pulled away and sat back. Jessie started the car and drove off to Fritz’s house for the night. They were all so happy tonight. They sang and played their hearts out and now, they just wanna cuddle and slump for the night.
