A lot of things happened after that Christmas party. Well, Leanne eventually caved in and sang solo, where she enchanted all her friends with her amazing singing, but she went even further with her singing career.
Leanne went along with her dream to become a great singer, and since she had won the national singing competition, in almost no time at all, she got a contract with a recording company (which was her secret plan all along), and together, they started to produce a whole new album. Leanne had already named her album; it was called Secret Singing Superstar, courtesy of Caitlin, Claire and Cailyn.
She later produced her first single (which was the song she had been writing), Black Butterfly, which became a huge hit in the state, and spread further across the country and even across the world. Apart from this, Leanne was also invited to perform at many concerts. She accepted them all with grace, but at one concert, where she had sung Lost In Thoughts All Alone (Lizz Robinett cover), she had introduced her 'special guest': which had been Cailyn, who then proceeded to sing the exact same song, but in Japanese instead of English like what Leanne had done. It had been one of the best concerts yet.
Leanne's singing career was pretty much very successful so far, which was good news.
Caitlin and Claire attended all of the concerts that Leanne sang at - because they had been all in the state for now - but they feared that they might not be able to go to anymore if Leanne traveled interstate. Hearing this, Leanne decided to invite her friends along as V.I.P's to all her concerts, no matter where they were and how far. She insisted that they should ride to the concert in the same car/plane as she did, which was exactly what happened.
Apart from following Leanne to all her concerts, Caitlin had also decided to participate in the Osu World Cup, where she played for her country. In the end, her team came third, which was a huge achievement. She made it her goal to get everyone interested in Osu, which worked with Leanne, Cailyn and Joy, but it took some persuading to get Claire to start playing Osu again in her free time. As for the rest of their friends: it would take a bit of time, but Caitlin was convinced she would get them all playing Osu soon.
As for Claire, she simply worked on her art, up to the point where Theresa gaped at it and said it was legendary. Claire still wasn't satisfied with the way she drew anatomy, however, so over the holidays, she met up with Joy and Claudia, and worked on her art with them, although she also spent some time studying, like the typical nerd she was.
Cailyn followed her passion to become a great writer, and started drafting a story based on Leanne's journey to greatness in the singing department, as well as binge reading every single book she had on her bookshelf. She also still bickered constantly with Helina, who continued listening to her Chinese songs and basically annoying the crap out of Cailyn, which was amusing to watch.
Anna had decided to give up on drawing pictures of mythical animals (and peacocks) and decided to focus on designing dresses. She realised she would be better off as a fashion designer than an artist. From this, she became good friends with Yao, who had a similar hobby, and they often compared their designs.
Theresa spent most of her holidays either watching videos on YouTube or going outdoors to camp. It actually wasn't as bad as Theresa had thought it would be. She learnt plenty of things while camping, and she planned to camp with everyone one day during the holidays (although Helina wasn't eager to, like usual).
Claudia focused more on her acting skills rather than her drawing skills, because she figured that she preferred to be an actress. She was pretty good at it; she had performed in many acting performances before.
Joy remained her hyper self and did many things, from drawing to writing to watching musicals. She also prepared herself for going to a new school, since she had gotten a scholarship. Rufina continued making random puns to annoy everyone, and Hannah became a whiz at three different instruments.
