Darcy watched 5 Seconds of Summer rehearse for the next show while her dads were out on stage. She was lost in thought for the past hour, so she was surprised when she heard Paul call her name. She looked at him and followed him when he motioned for her to follow him.

"So, we have a little surprise for all you amazing people tonight!" Nialls' voice yelled.

Darcy was led over to the side of the stage and she tilted her head.

"We are going to be having a contest with seven of our best guitar players and you guys will decide on who will win! You ready?!" Louis yelled causing the crowd to cheer.

Paul gave Darcy her own in-ears that she got since she sometimes played with the band. He even gave her electric guitar to her.

"The first six to come out is Calum, Luke, Michael, Dan, Sandy, and, of course, Niall!" Zayn yelled, handing Niall his guitar as the others came out. "So, do you know who the seventh is?"

"Darcy! Darcy! Darcy!" the crowd cheered.

Darcy grinned as she walked out on stage.

"So, let's get this contest started!" Harry cheered, grinning.

Two Minutes Later

The boys' stares at Darcy with wide eyes as the crowd cheered for her. She just grinned as she finished playing against Niall. "Oh my god...Where'd you learn that from, Darcy?" Liam asked.

She pointed to herself and smirked, saying, "Learned from myself."

"Looks like we have a little rock star amongst us!" Harry cheered, grinning.

Darcy grinned and giggled, "Well, I do wanna be in a band when I get older."

Louis chuckled and ruffled her hair. "And you'll be great at it. Right, guys?!" The audience cheered so loud that Darcys' ears twitched. "Even they agree."

She smiled and looked behind her at the band with a huge grin on her face.

"What are you planning?" Liam asked, raising an eyebrow.

Sandy ran over and put a headset on her before kissing her forehead.

Darcy spun around, her auburn curls flowing around her as she did, and smiled at the boys. "I wanna try something is all~," she said, skipping in front of the boys.

They looked at each other, confused before they flopped on the couch to watch the eleven year-old.

She started strumming her guitar and smiled at the crown. Soon another guitar joined her and she grinned as she started singing.

/"Please tell me what is taking please
Cause I can't seem to find a trace,
Guess it must've got erased somehow,"/

The crowd cheered as she giggled.

/"Probably cause I always forget,
Every time someone tells me their name,
It's always gotta be the same."/

She winked and made a hand motion, like a circle.

/"(In my world)
Never wore cover-up,
Always beat the boys up,
Grew up in a 5000 population town,
Made my money by cutting grass,
Got fired by fried chicken (Josh bass)
All in a small town, Nappanee,"/

She grinned as everyone laughed at the second line.

/"You know I always stay up without sleepin'
And think to myself,
Where do I belong forever,
In whose arms, the time and place?"/

She smiled at the fans as she walked down the cat walk thing, strumming her guitar.

/"Can't help if I space in a daze,
My eyes tune out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream,
In this head my thoughts are deep
(points to her head)
But sometimes I can't even speak,
Would someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in my world"/

She grinned and stopped in the middle of the cat walk thing.

/"I never spend less than an hour,
Washin' my hair in the shower,
It always takes 5 hours to make it straight,"/

She pulled on a curl and pouted when it bounced, shrugging.

/"So I'll braid it in a zillion braids,
Through it may take all friggen day,
There's nothing else better to do anyway,"/

She shrugged again and tiled her head slightly.

/"When you're all alone in the lands of forever,
Lay under the milky way,
On and on it's getting too late out,
I'm not in love this time, this night,"/

She smiled at a fan in front of her.

/"Can't help if I space in a daze,
My eyes tune out the other way,
I may switch off and go in a daydream,
In this head my thoughts are deep
(points to her head)
But sometimes I can't even speak,
Would someone be and not pretend? I'm off again in my world"/

She turned around and ran back in front of the boys, who looked shocked.

/"(La la la la)"/

She spun around to face the crowd, letting her guitar hang around her neck.

/"Take sometime, (Points to her wrist)
Mellow out, (Smiles)
Party up, (Points up)
But don't fall down, (Points down)
Don't get caught, (shakes head)
Sneak out of the house, (Winks)"/

Everyone laughed as she did the gestures while she sang, evn the crowd was singing along with her.

As soon as she finished, the cheers got louder and she was picked up by Louis. "That was amazing!" he cheered, grinning.

She grinned and nodded. "Thanks."

"What did you guys think of it?" Liam asked into the mic.

The crowd cheered and he laughed. "I'm guessing they loved it!"

She smiled and her tail swayed as Louis out her down. "Looks like we really do have a little rock star amongst us," he said, ruffling her hair.

She giggled and looked back at the band, giving them a thumbs up. "Couldn't have done it without them!"

Everyone laughed as Darcy smiled cheekily at the audience.
