Ariel is currently sitting in her car with Sebastian and Abigail, her dad and Carol are sitting in their car next to them in the Target car park.  "Hey. It's going to be fine. You have five minutes until it's officially out for sale and you don't have to worry. It's going to do amazing," Sebastian says.

"Everyone will love the album. Sebastian, Burt, Carol and I are gonna buy an album each. We have and always will support you through this journey," Abigail says.

"Thanks. I just don't want this album to flop and fail. I just want to prove to myself and others that I can do this at 17 years old," Ariel says.

"Does anyone else know that you're releasing an album?" Abigail asks.

"No. They still haven't caught onto the fact that it's me in the music video even though it has thousands of views already. I'm just wondering if they will realise when they see the cover of the album," Ariel says.

"Yeah. I'm still waiting to see what the album looks like as I've not seen it yet," Sebastian says.

"I know. Only Big Machine Records and I know as I wanted it to be a surprise for everyone," Ariel says.

Sebastian then checks the time on his watch and says "Do you want to head inside now and go but your album as we've only got 2 minutes until midnight."

"Yeah. I want to see the look on your faces when you see the album," Ariel says before getting out of her car and walking into Target with Sebastian, Abigail, her dad and Carol. "Do you know what version you are going to buy yet?"

"Yeah. I'm gonna get both the CD and the vinyl," Sebastian says.

"And I'm gonna get the CD. Only because I don't have a record player," Abigail says.

"Why are you getting both?" Ariel asks.

"I'm gonna send the vinyl to Joe and Iris as I want them to listen to your album," Sebastian says.

"But why the vinyl?" Ariel follows up with.

"I know that Joe has a record player in the house but I don't know about him having a CD player so I'm going to get him the vinyl," Sebastian explains.

"That's great but why are you getting them one?" Ariel asks.

"I want them to listen to my girlfriend's greatest achievement of all time," Sebastian states.

"That's very sweet," Ariel says as they walk into Target. "But you don't have to do that."

"They said that as well but I said that I don't care and that I'm going to do it either way," Sebastian says. Sebastian then looks at his watch and sees that they have 30 seconds till midnight. "But enough of that. We have less than 30 seconds until your album is released."

"You should be so proud of yourself sweetie," Burt says.

"This album is going to be a hit. I can already tell. You have worked so hard for months to do this while managing school and show choir competitions. We are both so proud of you," Carol says.

"Thank you both for saying that," Ariel says to them.

"Okay," Sebastian says while looking at his watch. "10...9...8...7...6...5...4....3...2...1...Midnight. You're album is officially out."

"Congrats. Now let's go find you're album as I want to listen to it," Abigail says before grabbing Ariel's arm and dragging her away from everyone to the CDs.

"Okay," Ariel says while trying to catch her balance to walk next to Abigail.

When they reach the CDs and vinyl, everyone is looking for Ariel's album. Just then Burt suddenly says "Found it!" while turning around with a CD in his hand.
