It's been a while.

Months, actually. The project was called off completely, leaving an emptiness in both the bands. It was December, the time of the year that made everyone happy. And as for the plan that Camila made; Break Up Rena & Luke, got cancelled as well. Everyone seemed to disconnect after the publicity plan got cut off.

The Fifth Harmony girls were called to do a commercial for the Jingle Ball.

As were the 5SOS boys.

They were both unaware of this, until they read the script.

"Okay, so we all just yell Santa is here? I don't see why that needs a script but okay." Dinah shrugged, turning to the girls.

"We go on after -- oh." Normani halted, holding the script and stepping back. "We'll go last. Yeah, uhm, let's do that."

"What?" Ally raised an eyebrow, attempting to pry the script out of Mani's hands. "Why do we have to go last? Who do we go on after?"

"Whoever we go on after is fine, Mani." Camila stated, patiently sitting down on the ground.

"Yeah, I'm not too sure about that." Normani mumbled, holding the script closer, away from Ally.

Lauren scoffed, leaning back onto the wall. "Mani, just spit it out."

Dinah got up from her seat, pulling the script out of Normani's hands and scanning it. They were all well aware of how Camila and Lauren had a history with the boys. And they knew that they wouldn't want to see them anytime soon. Dinah's eyes widened, "Yikes."

"Oh my god, who is it!?" Lauren groaned, rolling her deep green eyes.

"Um, doesn't matter. We're going last any-"

"Girls! We need you to go into the room now!" The director yelled out.

The girls scurried into the room. There was a Christmas tree behind them, and another room beside them. Lauren stopped in her tracks seeing who was there. "Just fucking great." She mumbled under her breath.

The director yelled, "Okay, Camila, you and Meghan go on after they're done."

Camila wasn't exactly excited to see them either, she avoided eye contact. Whenever any of the boys turned to look at them, they pulled out their phones.

"Sir, why can't we just go on later, or why couldn't we gone earlier?" Lauren asked the director.

He glanced up at her, "It's just how this works, get back with your group will you?"

Rude, Lauren huffed. She walked back with her girls.

"Wait, so I'm the only one who gets a speaking part in this?" Calum asked, holding the book in his hands.

"Just say the line, Jesus Christ."

"So, they don't say anything?"

"Calum, say the damn line and get this over with." Camila blurted out, turning his attention to her.

"Subtle." Lauren whispered sarcastically under her breath.
