"Ladies and gentlemen, brace up, this phase is gonna blow your mind."

The spooky voice over played before all the lights went dim, leaving the audience screaming in anticipation.

They were three hours into the show, but this was the most awaited moment.

As soon as Erika's soft hums were heard after 8 seconds of a piano sequence the crowd went wild. The ovation became rousy when harper's sweet voice began the song.

Their votes were, increasing gradually as Erika and Harper moonwalked to the stage in silver jackets, white vest and wine cargo pants with a white silver laced sneakers.

The judges jaws dropped when Erika began harper's verse in french as they did a simple choreography.

Pedro walked to the stage from the crowd in the same attire increasing the shouts. His baritone backed up the English and French duet of the pre-chorus as he joined them on the stage for the choreography.

Seth and Alvin were on a smaller stage in the midst of the crowd. Seth's japanese version of the chorus there everyone to their feet including the judges. Alvin added flare to the dance steps as they danced while singing.

Alvin's verse was done in Spanish as they made their way to the main stage. They joined the others just in time for the last part of the song which was a brief Acapella. Pedro and Seth beat boxes as Alvin hummed leaving Erika to duet with Harper for the chorus. They sang together in English as the crowd sang along.

Then Erika switched smoothly to french. The judges screamed harder than before enjoying the way the two languages blended together with the Acapella going on.

They didn't hesitate to hit the buzzer declaring them the winner of ESC's summer harmony, even before the song ended.

They did the chorus again. this time the crowd sang along as they danced underneath the buzzer.

There dreams came true. They were in cloud nine, screaming and embracing each other as Kelly and Mia rushed from the backstage to congratulate them.

"And now let the fan's vote." A judge announced silencing the scream and bringing order to the stadium.

The PHASE hands were nervously intertwined with each other's as they stared to the screen. They watched the screen anxiously awaiting the total.

It took two minutes of tense anticipation. Everyone was on their toes including their opponent.

Winning the ESC's fan award meant everything to them. It was like a universal school Grammy.

"Surpassing it's opposing team with just 68 votes, the winner of this summer's ESC's fan award goes to a team that has proven itself worthy to be voted for. A rising star in the entertainment industry, all the way from Daysman high NYC, they made history in Vegas this summer."

Erika fell on her knees in tears as they listened to the announcer. Seth couldn't keep his mouth closed as he stared at the figure before him.

Pedro squatted as he rumpled his hair in shock. Harper and Alvin hugged each other tightly.

" Ladies and gentlemen, it's my honor to announce to you the winner of ESC's fan award, all the way from Daysman high NYC, PHASE."

Pedro pounced up to his feet joining the others in their victorious leap. Erika had been lifted to her feet by Seth and Alvin as Kelly and Mia joined them on stage to congratulate them.

One of the judges handed the trophy over to them.

"Oh my gosh!!!" Erika screamed in awe as they jumped around in victory after a few pictures, flaunting the trophy as their invited school mates and family and friends came up to congratulate them.
