A/N: I'm two days strong, woo! Here we go...

And I apologise if my count down is off, there is a reason I'm a writer and not a mathematician :P

Chapter 30

12:02 am
19 hours and 58 minutes remaining.

Kirstie stands on the end of the bed, her hand leant on Avi's head, the other occupied with a red bull can. She was slightly bouncing up and down as she tried to interject her idea into the Scott and Kevin brain-storm show.
      Mitch was sitting there silently on his phone, half listening, half scrolling through Facebook.
       Avi was patiently trying to type up as many of the ideas as he could so they wouldn't forget any of them, he was patient because he kept hitting the wrong keys because of Kirstie, but he wasn't going to snap.
       "I have an idea!" Kirstie calls out but Kevin and Scott either don't hear her, or blatantly ignore her.
      "I gave up on that about five minutes ago honey," Mitch interjects, the strides across the room to sit on Avi's other side. Kirstie drops to the bed, the springs creaking, and then she takes another sip of her can.
       "What have you actually got written?" Kirstie ask, leaning her chin against Avi's shoulder. Mitch leans in a little closer to see too.
      "Mostly a bunch of words that get red squiggles because they aren't real words, they're my interpretation of the sounds those two are making, pasted around the lyrics of the song. I can't make sense of it though and I'm the one who typed it."
       "We need a simpler method that gets all of us involved," Kirstie speaks up, and sits up straight.
      "What like sitting in a circle and taking turns?" Avi asks with a laugh.
       Kirstie and Mitch exchange a glance that breaks into a smile, then reach above Avi's head to high five each other.
      Avi watches them in confusion as the two of them stand up and walk over to the two loudest members and quiet them.
      "Avi had a good idea about how everyone can have a chance to contribute their good ideas okay?" Kirstie nods slowly, then grabs each of the boy's arms and pulls them to the ground. Mitch joins her, and feeling left out Avi quickly rushes over to the join the group and places his laptop down in the middle.
      "Like a circle jam," Mitch shrugs. "Avi's typed up most of your confusing ideas. Now we've just got to run through cut and add until it's perfect," he smiles at the group.
       "Sounds good to me, I thought you guys were being a little quiet."
Kirstie rolls her eyes. "Okay so I have a really good idea!"

3:56 am
16 hours and 4 minutes remaining.

"And Mitch part is going to be amazing," Kevin adds to the conversation as the group were all getting ready to sleep.
        "And if you and Avi can just keep in sync that is going to be killer in the build-up," Scott grins from ear to ear as he gets into the same bed as Kevin.
       "Kirstie's idea was brilliant," Mitch adds from his own bed.
       "And Avi's already asleep," Kirstie laughs, pointing to the guy besides her then lightly poking him,          "Yep, asleep."
        "And I'm not in the least bit surprised," Kevin laughs.
      "He has been complaining about sleep for the past hour," Scott chuckles.
      "In his defence, it is almost four in the morning," Kirstie says with a yawn.
      "That's why I've set the alarm for 10, and if we all wake up earlier then that then cool, but we'll still have plenty of time to rehearse tomorrow."
       "I have a really good feeling about this," Mitch tells them.
       "I know what you mean," Kevin nods, "This one just feels good in my gut, like the other songs there was doubt, but not here. We're so close, we could win this."
        "Kirstie?" Scott raises an eyebrow across the dark room. Kevin and Mitch peer across the room the best they can too, but she's fallen asleep as well.
         Mitch is next then Kevin. Scott is the last one awake, but falls asleep with a smile on his face.

A/N: Yeah I know, short, I'm sorry but it works this way, I promise :)
