THE GROUP was called to a Team Austin meeting, the first in a long time, when Dez busted into the practice room in an outfit that made him look like a founding father as he rung a bell.
"Hear ye, hear ye. Hear ye, hear ye. I hereby call to order the first Team Austin meeting in many a fortnight, and put forth the decree that we don our tricorn hats." Dez spoke.
"I hereby call ye to stop ringing that bell." Dakota mocked Dez making him stop.
"Dez, why are you talking like that?" Austin asked.
"And why are you dressed like that?" Ally questioned.
Dez shrugged, "I don't know. It's been so long since we had a Team Austin meeting that I don't remember what to do."
"Oh, usually you make weird suggestions and act like a total doof." Trish reminded him.
"Oh, good. So I'm doing the right thing." Dez let out a sigh of relief.
Trish then stood up from her seat, "Well, since Jimmy Starr lifted Austin's performance ban, I've got an announcement. Guess who booked Austin's comeback concert!"
As everyone rushed up, Austin ran over to engulf the girl in a hug. "Thank you!"
"Trish, that's amazing!" Ally said.
"Way to go, Trish!" Dakota patted the girl's shoulder.
"Oh, it's gonna feel so good to be back up on stage again." Austin sighed happily.
"It's gonna feel so good to have a best friend I can be proud of again." Dez stated.
"Thanks?" Austin questioned as the group all furrowed their eyebrows at Dez.
Ally then changed the subject back to Austin. "This show is gonna be huge. Your fans haven't seen you perform in so long. They're going to expect something incredible."
"Which means we need a spectacular entrance. Lucky for you, I've had a lot of time to think about this, so I have a few ideas." Dez announced. The boy went behind the podium in the room and pulled out a scroll filled with all of his ideas making the faces of the four friends drop. "Number one: Ride in on a camel. Could be one hump or two, but two's a little more expensive. Ride in on an ostrich. Could be male or female, but male's a little more violent. Ride in on a reindeer. Regular or flying, flying ones are only seasonal. Ride in on a whale. Killer or humpback. Humpback has a bigger blowhole if you want to shoot fireworks out of it."
AUSTIN HAD taken Dakota on a shopping spree to get outfits for his comeback concert. He even bought her a few outfits since she's his leading dancer, despite all of her protests.
"I really didn't need the shoes, Austin."
"But you wanted them, and they would look perfect with the blue jacket you just got."
