The NeverLand Kids

Presents and Nightmares

Ms. Rose paused to raise the anticipation. "And the winner is.." A girl ran on stage and handed Ms. Rose a new envelope. "Oh. Seems I had the wrong envelope. Third place actually belongs to The Neverland Kids? What?" Even Ms. Rose was confuse. Most of the audience left, in outrage. The rest voice their opinion. Though Ms. Rose continued, hiding her rage, "AND First is Peyton and The guys. Give them a round of applause." The audience didn't clapped. The bands accepted the awards and bowed. Then turned to shake each others hands. But Peyton had a diva moment, and walked off stage. Her band goons followed her. Two Directions rolled their eyes, then introduced themselves. Their names Nate, Logan, and Rico. Rico was the tallest and spoke with Canadian accent. Logan was Hmong and had blonde hair and blue eyes. Which is rarely for Hmong people. Nate was the shortest and had red hair and blue eyes. He was three inches taller than Reece. They were all beat-boxers and freestyle rappers. "You guys should've won!" Logan told them. "Yeah, everyone knows it's rigged." Nate added. "Plus, They made too many mistakes to win." Rico finished. Reece decided to speak. "Thanks! Your beat-boxings really amazing!" She stated, smiling. Two Direction looked flabbergasted. Nate kissed her hand, "Why thank you! By the way, you have the voice of an angel!" Reece blushed, and giggled. Nate did the same to Ciara, but different line. Same result. Jalex and Marshall wondered if they should cock-block. But shook their heads. Let the kids have their fun. "Are you guys going to be Two Direction, after this?" Ciara asked. They looked at each other, then nodded. "You guys?" Rico asked. They nodded. "Yep, trying to make it big!" Ciara smiled. Reece nodded. "We should write a song, together. Some time!" Logan stated. Him and Ciara exchange numbers. Dez snuck up behind Michael and jumped on his back. Michael looked at Dez, who looked back at him. "What's up, shortie?" He grinned. Dez grinned back, thinking 'He has pretty eyes!' "Nothing, stretch! You?" He said. "Not much. How do you like the air up here?"

"Great. Its fresher!"

"Then, imagine Reece's air." Michael laughed. Dez laughed, too. "Hey! What you got 'gainst, shorties?" Reece objected. "Nothing! There's one on my back, right now!" Michael teased. Causing Dez to squeeze his neck. "Uncle!" Michael choked out. "Bow at the shorties' power!" DeZ laughed. "Whatever, don't let the fresh air go to your head." Michael stated. Dez laughed.

Max felt a tap on his shoulder, and turned. "Hey, Chris!" He manly squealed. Chris pulled him in for a hug. Max blushed. "Hey. Great show. Sorry, you guys didn't win." Chris smiled. "Its okay. Everyone knows it rigged." Max grinned. Chris scratch the back of his neck, "I was wonder...if you wanted to hang out on Sunday?" Max's smile grew, as he nodded. He said yes, Chris thought. "Great! I text you, later. Kay?" Max nodded, again. And waved, goodbye.

"All of you open your gifts, first. Reactions over dinner! And save the wrapping paper." Reece commanded, handing out presents.
