Interviewer: "How did you like California?"
Stevie: "It was everything I imagined it to be. She smiles."

Stevie follows her brothers, and they head to Rods house and knock at the door.
"Rod, Hey, it's Billy dunne." Billy said to the shirtless man that had a confused look on his face when he opened the door.
"Why are you here." Rod said.
Stevie shifts uncomfortably in the back as she watches the embarrassing scene.
"Um....could we have ten minutes of your time." Billy said.
Rod walks away, leaving the door open, and Billy takes that as a hint to follow him.
Stevie follows the guys to the pool outside with chairs sprawled around. Billy found Rod occupying a chair.
Billy sat down in front of him.
"We need gigs on  the strip if...uh...possible." Billy said and started listing possible places for gigs.
"And a place to stay." Camila chimes in.
"And we're probably gonna need some money." Warren said.
"Ya know to start us off." Graham finished. Rod looked at all of them incredously and looked up to Stevie, who just gave an awkward smile.
"And.. ..Teddy Price, that's really important." Billy said with a smile.
"Sure, yeah, man, anything else."Rod said.
"I think that's all." Graham said happily.
Eddie takes Stevies hand and holds it behind his back away from prying eyes. Both of them smiled at each other.
"Are you a bunch of f**king idiots." Rod said. Do you really think this is how it works." He adds on.
"I'm a tour manager, not a band manager. If you guys are planning a world tour in the future, I don't think I'm your guy." Rod said.
"But what I'm gonna do is make a call to one of my guys at a bar on the strip."Rod said. All the guys agreed.
"That's all I can do." Rod said, putting his hands up in surrender.
The guys agreed.
"Now if that all." Rod said, trying to get them out of his house.
"Yes, thank you." Billy said gratefully, and the others agreed.

******

Stevie started to walk out of the house with the guys following until Graham ran back to Rod.
Stevie stops and waits for him, and he comes a few moments later.
"I need to get to a phone." Graham said.

Interviewer: "Who was he trying to call?"

******

"Karen Sirko." Graham said into the phone.
"Ya know, we were really impressed with your performance." He said. As everyone was behind him trying to listen.
"And uh, maybe knows a good time for new scenery." Graham said, trying to make conversation but failing. Billy grabs the phone out of his hand
"Karen Sirko... yeah.. this is Billy Dunne...hi... how would you like to be in the band?..well, I was just saying the dunne brothers would like you to join the band...no actually were in La." Billy said.
Stevie started to zone out until Camila got on the phone. She starts to cheer, and the rest of the band cheers as well. Stevie smiles and joins in on the cheering.

Interviewer: "What was the first home like?"
Stevie: "To others, it may have seemed like a run-down shack, but to me and the others, it was home. It was where we had many of our firsts."

Stevie walks out to the kitchen to get a glass of water when she sees the guys playing pirates. "Ahoy, Milady." Eddie said. Stevie starts to burst out laughing. "Ahoy."She said. Warren goes over to her and picks her up, throws her over his shoulder, and runs up on top of the couch. "I've captured my treasure." Warren said with a pirate accent. Eddie picks up his "sword" and battles Warren, and Graham helps Eddie defeat him while Stevie is pounding on Warren's back while she laughs.

Graham looks towards the door and begins to get flustered and covers himself up because he only has underwear on. Warren and Eddie look towards the door. Karen looks at them in disbelief. Warren drops Stevie on the couch, and she makes a thump sound. Stevie gets up and fixes her hair, then looks at Karen. "Ahoy." Said Stevie with a smile.
