AT THE OLD-FASHIONED CABARET
CRIMSON-QUINN SPEAKEASY . . .

The next day, in the dimly-lit cabaret speakeasy, everyone is sitting at their tables with their cocktail drinks and chatting with each other.

Eric is sitting at the bar counter with his cocktail drink, taking sips of it.

Monica slowly walks up next to her ex-boyfriend. "So, I didn't know that you and Violet were hanging out with each other."

"It's not any of your business, Monica. And I'm not your concern anymore." Eric told her.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I'm sorry, E?" Monica asked him. "I know I screwed up."

"Yeah, because screwing up is what you're good at. Especially, when it comes to romantically screwing my other best friend, Jonny. So, please, leave me alone." Eric said to Monica, getting up with his cocktail drink and walks away from her.

Monica walks away, sitting down with Sonya and Mikaela at a table.

Eric is sitting at a table with Matt and Miguel.

Jonny, Aaron and Tucker are sitting at a table together with their cocktail drinks.

I slowly walks onto the stage and up to the microphone stand. "Hi, everyone. Who loves karaoke?"

Everyone cheers.

I chuckled softly to myself. "Okay, then." And I press a button on the karaoke machine.

And a song, "I Put A Spell On You" pops up on the screen.

[Instrumental Music - I Put A Spell On You - Ari Hicks]

🎵I put a spell on you
'Cause you're mine 🎵 i karaoke sing, looking around at the audience.

🎵 You better stop the things you do
I ain't lyin', I ain't lyin' 🎵

🎵 You know I can't stand it
You're runnin' around
You know better, daddy
I can't stand it 'cause you put me
down 🎵

🎵 I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You're mine 🎵 i karaoke sang, looking at my best friend, Eric.

Eric and I exchange looks at each other as I continue to karaoke, and which both Jonny and Monica notices.

🎵 You know I love you
I love you
I love you anyhow
And I don't care if you don't want me
I am yours right now (you hear me?) 🎵

🎵 I put a spell on you
Because you're mine
You're mine 🎵

Eric and I keep exchange looks at each other. He small smiles at me and I small smile back at him, which Jonny notices.
