"Hey cutie." Summer whispers to Ricky, standing beside him. "Try this again?" Ricky asks. "So, Mack..." Summer starts. "Hey Wildcats!" Dani announces, appearing behind Ricky. "Dani's here?" Stephanie asks, walking past Summer and Ricky. "It appears so." Ricky says. "Why is she dressed as Vanessa Hudgens in 'High School Musical 3'?" Summer asks. "That's actually a really interesting question." Ricky says. "Kourtney, my bestie of the week." Dani says walking over to Kourtney. "Wait, did you go to Princeton?" "Girl, I'm in high school." Kourtney says. "Yes, I know what order people go to schools." Dani says, before looking at Ricky. "Ricky, hey." Dani, hi. You remember Summer." Ricky says. "My switcharoo. Love that for us." Dani says. "What she she talking about?" Summer asks. "It's..." Ricky starts. "Okay, who are you right now?" Dani asks Ricky, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Because this is not what we talked about." "We didn't..." Ricky starts, turning to Summer, who had a shocked look on her face. "Wait. Did you go as a different Zac Efron movie?" Dani asks. "Are you giving '17 Again'?" "Okay, what is even happening?" Summer asks. "Let's begin!" Ashlyn announces, as Summer, Ricky and Dani sit down. Ashlyn then goes on about how the tarot cards were a gift from Madam Stephanie. "Hey." Mack says, sitting down next to Summer. "Hi." Summer replies."well, hang on. Where's Maddox?" Ashlyn asks. "She went to check out the fuse box. Something about a light flickering." Jet says. "Uh, I hope not. That fuse box is really old." Gina says. The lights then go out, causing them all to scream. Ricky holds onto Summer tightly. "Maddox!" Carlos shouts, as the light turns back on. They all turn to see Maddox, who looks like she had been electrocuted. "Oh my god! What do we do?" Ricky asks. "Call an ambulance. I'll do mouth to mouth. As a friend!" Ashlyn shouts. Ashlyn goes to do mouth to mouth but Maddox starts laughing. "Wow, that was good one." Ricky says, sarcastically. "The women in the woods could never." Carlos says. "I felt like I owed you all a good scare after the legend of Susan Fine kind of burned." Maddox says, before looking at Ashlyn. "Hey Ash, you okay?" "Mmm-mmm." Ashlyn replies. "Are you crying?" Alice asks. "Why would I be crying. It was humorous." Ashlyn says. "These are laugh tears. Shall we begin." Everyone takes their seats and Summer sees Maddox and Jet high five. "Oh I am so gonna kill you both." Summer tells them. "Yeah, yeah. You don't have a violent bone in your body." Jet says. "Every murderer has to start somewhere." Summer points out. "Okay!" Ricky says, causing a few people to laugh. "Ash, take it away." "The first card is... death." Ashlyn says, showing a card. "Present." Carlos says, as his costume was death. "Actually, the death card means something in one's life is ending." Ashlyn tells him. "Okay, you don't have to hit me over the head with it. Seb and I are over." Carlos says. "Could be for me though. Mad and Mad are... bad." Maddox says. "And although Summer and I haven't officially declared what we are yet, there's definitely something special happening here." Mack says, causing Summer to give him a confused look. "Sorry. What now?" Ricky asks. "Just check my TikTok at midnight and see what's up." Mack tells him. "What is this? Some kind of Halloween prank?" Ricky asks, looking at Summer. "Yeah. Let's go with that. Yeah." Summer says. "Well, I'll tell you whats not a prank." Dani says standing up. "I am thrilled to be stepping into the role of Gabriella in East High's production of 'HSM3', along side my forever Zac Efron, Ricky with the good hair." "Wait. What?" Ellie asks, as Ricky stands up "You didn't tell everyone the plan?" Dani asks Ricky. "Hey, it seems like the cards have awoken some demons." Ashlyn says. "I'm kicked out of the show?" Summer asks, standing up. "No, no. This was suppose to be a favour." Ricky says. "I wanted to talk to you in private, but it's a good thing." "How is it a good thing to be fired some a show?" Summer asks. "She has a point." Dani says. "Please, just stay out of this." Ricky tells her. "Sum, you work until 9:00pm every night. You're up before school to film this movie. Honestly, I thought you'd be relieved. And, I'm not the one who's suppose to be posting a selfie at midnight with Mack." "Hey, that's just a stunt." Summer says. "A stunt is a dog making spaghetti." Ricky replies. "That wasn't a stunt. He really did that." Mack chimes in. "Okay, okay. Look. I'm the queen of functional anxiety and even I think you guys are taking this a little too far." Kourtney says. "Troy and Gabriella are characters, not a real couple." Summer and Ricky share a look. "Well..." Ricky says, as Summer holds his hand. "What!" Alice asks. "We are back together." Summer announces. "And I don't really wanna hide anymore because we know we can get through anything. Right, Ricky." "Yeah." Ricky says, looking at her with a loving smile. "Yeah." Ricky kisses her as everyone, apart from Dani and Mack cheer. "I am so glad this is out in the open." Jet says. "It was getting exhausting." "This party... This party sucks." Dani says. Dani leaves. Summer then gets a message her therapist Madelyn. 'Where are you? I'm at the place.' "I got to go." Summer says. "Where?" Ricky asks. "Remember madelyn?" Summer asks. "Yeah." Ricky answers. "There's an open mic night she's hosting and she's asked me to perform." Summer explains. "Where is it?" Ricky asks. "At this bar." Summer says, before placing a hand on Ricky's shoulder and kissing his cheek. "I got to go. See you all tomorrow." Summer then rushes down the stairs.

Summer rushes back home to get ready before going to the bar to meet Madelyn. "I'm so sorry I'm late." Summer says. "Don't worry. Come on. You're after this performance." Madelyn tells her. "Okay." Summer says before rushing backstage.
Summer was going to sing a song she wrote about things she wish she could say to her parents. It was Summer's turn on stage. When she gets on she sees Ricky, Ellie and the whole group, including Mack, Miss Jenn and Mike Bowen. She smiles at them before introducing herself then starting to play the piano.
Were you lying awake staring up at the ceiling? Or was it only me who had trouble sleeping? Did you feel any pain when the words came out easy? In the heat of the moment, you left me freezing
I'm picking through the mess we made And I put you're broken pieces in place But I can't put back the things that you say
Summer spots her parents watching her from the bar on the right side of the room, the side she was facing.
I've been told it's stick and stones That break your bones But it's the words you throw that hurt the most That hurt the most
I've been told it's sticks and stones That leave you broke But it's the words you throw that hurt the most So, I'll take the sticks and stones So I'll take the sticks and stones
You're walls are to high for me to even climb up They don't make any ladders that take me that high up And your feelings are buried so deep, I can't find them Guess I'll start digging, keep on forgiving 'Til somebody gives in
I'm picking through the mess we made And I put you're broken pieces in place But I can't put back the things that you say
I've been told it's sticks and stones That break your bones But it's the words you throw that hurt the most That hurt the most
I've been told it's stick and stones That leave you broke But it's the words you throw that hurt the most So, I'll take the stick and stones So, I'll take the stick and stones
I've been told it's stick and stones That break your bones But it's the words you throw that hurt the most That hurt the most
I've been told it's stick and stones That leave you broke But it's the words you throw that hurt the most So, I'll take the sticks and stones So, I'll take the sticks and stones
Were you lying awake, staring up at the ceiling? Or was it only me who had trouble sleeping?
Everyone claps and Summer smiles before thanking them, then walking off stage. Summer knew seeing her parents probably threw her off. She just hoped she had proved them wrong.
