No Man's Land

Sing, Dance Sing. Everyone's Watching... (Part 2)

(A/N: You are SOOO gonna kill me but my decision sets up the rest of the story so yeh...)

Previously on No Man's Land: Sing, Dance, Sing. Everyone's Watching... (Part 1): I put the microphone in the hold and was about to step off the stage when I see Mr T and Luke run in. Their gazes reach to me and to the microphone behind me. I look at the floor avoiding the states.

Luke POV

Leia and I are sitting in the Java Junction when I hear someone singing.. I look around to realise it is coming from the speakers... THE ROSE ROOM!
Wait... Is that Noah? My eyes dart to Leia and I wave good bye and run to find Mr T. By the time I found Mr T, I was out of breath. Mr T stares at me weirdly.
"Noah... Singing... Amazing... Original song... Rose room..." I say through the pants.

Luke POV

Mr T stares at me so I drag him to the rose room, despite his protest. We look at Noah then the mic. It is as if the gears in Mr T's head has turned because he is looking at Noah shocked. Noah is avoiding our stares.
"Noah." I say excitedly. He looks up at me slightly. "That was amazing."
"The mic was on?" He whispers to himself.
"Yes it was." Mr T says sternly. I can see Noah flinch at Mr T's tone. I can see him breathing heavily so I lay a hand on his shoulder.
"Man, that was amazing. Quit worrying." I say reassuringly.
"In fact, it is so amazing that I would be willing to offer you a place in Lost and Found." Mr T monotones. Noah looks at him in shock. I nudge his arm slightly hoping for him to answer.
"Umm... Yes?" He says looking at me. I nod encouragingly. "Yes." He says in a confident tone. Mr T nods and leaves.
"Dude! You can do that with equipment. It is INSANE!" I shout happily. He smiles but he frowns after a few seconds.
"What have I done? I am a dancer, I promised... No, I am singing now. I am quiting the Next Step." He says feeling conflicted.
"Hey, if you are enrolled into Lost & Found, want to join my band?" I ask him so he doesn't feel left out.
"I'd love to." He says before running off.

Noah POV

I run off to go tell A troupe and Miss Kate. I reach Studio A to see A troupe in a huddle along with Miss Kate.
I clear my throat and they all face me.
"I kind of have some news." People start to whisper a little but Miss Kate shushes them.
"I am leaving the Next Step." I say closing my eyes tight. "It is just it reminds me too much of... You know what it doesn't matter." I open my eyes as Miss Kate begins to talk.
"Well we will miss you very much Noah. One question, where are you going?" I take a deep breath.
"I am going to Lost & Found Music Studios." He mutters can be heard as well as gasps.
"Was it you singing into the microphone?" Thalia asks in confusion. I nod slowly. They all walk up to me and hold me in a bear hug.
By now everyone has tears streaming down their face including me. Miss Kate puts her hand in the middle. Then Max, then Riley and James, then Theldon, Sierra, West, Stephanie, Michelle, Giselle and lastly me.
"THE NEXT STEP!" We all scream. I say goodbye to them all one by one and leave but not before blue tacking up the photo Skylar took of A-troupe onto the wall near the cubbies
