 "Hey, guys, guess what?!" Reggie asked, excited.

The pair sighed, Luke more in frustration as Liv sighed in annoyance.

"What's up, bro?" Liv asked her brother, hoping her brother could hear how annoyed she was.

"I actually picked something up! I went into Julie's room and-"

"Reginald!" Olivia snapped.

"I know, I know, I know, but, I actually picked something up! Look!" He holds out some crumpled pieces of paper. "I found some poems that she wrote! Maybe we could put some music to is and try and convince her to join the band!?"

"Reggie, that is a-" Luke started as Liv spoke at the same time as him, "great/terrible idea!"

"No! Guys, we promised Julie we'd stay out of her room," Olivia scolded.

"Yes, but, we aren't in her room anymore, are we?" Reggie said, causing Liv to look at her brother with confusion.

Sure enough, Liv got roped into playing with them, failing to convince them not to.

"Hey, Liv, look at this," Luke said, holding out a poem. Liv looked it over, before softly singing a little melody for it.

As Olivia finished, she looked up at Luke, confused, "What is 'fro-yo'?"

Luke just shrugged as he laughed at the confused girl.

"Guys, what do you think of this riff?" Luke says, playing a riff on his guitar.

"Sweet. I'm feeling that. And then I come in with a little, uh..." Reggie said, starting to shred on his bass.

"Then Julie comes in with her killer lyrics," Olivia said, about to start singing before Julie walked in, causing her to clam up.

"Guys, you aren't supposed to be out here playing alone," Julie said to the ghosts, annoyed.

"But we're not alone, 'cause we always have each other," Reggie said as Luke wraps his arm around Reggie's shoulder, pulling Olivia over.

Julie scoffs and walks over to the amp. "But... but we had the volume level on one," Luke whined.

"But we rocked it on volume ten. You want us to play it again?" Reggie asked, causing Julie to pull the plug to the amp to the boys' instruments.

"I really don't think she does," Olivia whispered.

"No," Luke whispered, agreeing.

"We've been waiting for you to get home. OK, so we have some pretty major news to tell you. We had a band meeting earlier, and," Luke trailed off, causing Reggie to do a drumroll on his legs. He nudges Liv, causing her to weakly do the same. "we wanna invite you to join Sunset Curve. And no, you're not dreaming."

"Oh," Julie said, simply.

"Oh, uh..." Luke chuckled weakly, "Oh, she said, "Oh." Um... That's what you say when you get socks on your birthday, not when invited to join the most epic band ever." Olivia grabbed his arm, lightly.

"Sorry. I'm honored, but I can't think about anything but Flynn right now. She's still mad at me for lying. She hasn't even texted me back," Julie said sadly.

"Yeah, you're in a tough spot," Luke said, causing Olivia and Reggie to nod in agreement. "So, you wanna join the band?" Luke quickly asked, causing Olivia to hit his arm.

"Read the room, dude," Julie snapped, starting to walk out.

"Oh come on! We need you, and you need us because you need music," Luke yelled to the girl, causing her to turn around. "We found this poem that you wrote, and Reggie, Olive, and I, we added this really cool melody to it. It sounds awesome."

"Where'd you find that?"

"Uh... definitely not your dream box," Luke shoves Olivia in front of him to protect himself, causing her to poof away.

"Do not try and hide behind me! You screwed up, son!" Olivia yelled from her place on the couch.

"You went through my stuff?" Julie chased Luke around, trying to get the paper.

"I know, but..." Luke yelled back.

"Yeah, we can do that now," Reggie said.

"No, Reginald! You can't!" Olivia yelled, poofing over to smack him in the back of the head.

"Exactly! Boundaries! Give it back!" Julie yelled.

"No! Hey, you need to realize how insanely talented you are. OK? Listen to this. 'If somebody hurts you,'" Luke starts before Olivia poofs next to him, going to take the paper, before he snatches it away, "'If somebody hurts you, I'm gonna get hurt too.'"

"It's a killer melody, Jules," Olivia reasoned.

Julie sighs, "I wrote that about Flynn when she was helping me with all my mom stuff. I gotta go."

Julie walked out, causing Luke to yell after her, "Hey, what about the band?"

"Oh... I almost forgot. Stay out of my room!" Julie exclaimed before leaving.

"Yeah?" Luke yelled before shoving his face through the garage door, "We will if you join our band."

Olivia laughs before pulling him back.

"Come on, let's write this song, maybe that'll convince her to join, huh?" Olivia tried to reason.

"Okay," Luke pouted.
