*It's the night of their first show back and the 4 remaining 5 of PTX are incredibly worried Mitch won't show*

Scott: What if he doesn't show up?! What if he never comes back! What if we have to end Pentatonix and SuperFruit?!

Scott panics.

Avi: Remain calm, Scott. Everything will be okay.

He reassures him.

Kevin: What ever happens, happens for a reason.

Kevin responds as he adjusts his ear piece.

Kirstie: Guys, Jonathan says 2 minutes until show time!

She yells over the screams of the fans as she takes her mark on stage.

Kevin soon follows.

Scott notices Avi smiling over at the distracted Kirstie.

He makes a confused face.

Avi: He will show. I can feel it!

He smiles as he returns his attention back to Scott.

Scott's heart races as he tries to calm his breathing.

Scott: My stomach hurts...

He says as Avi makes his way on stage.

He turns and smiles at Scott.

Avi: Just butterflies. Mitch will come.

Scott stands alone for a few seconds and thinks as he fixes his ear piece.

Jonathan: 30 seconds!

He yells.

The clock counts down and it's time for the show. They start off with one of the songs Mitch doesn't have a main part to.

They sing.

Scott: Forget you...

Kirstie: Here's the thing, we started out friends....

As she sings, Scott can't help but get teary eyed as her first 7 words remind him of Mitch.

He tries to keep his voice strong and steady, even though his heart hurts.

Scott: I see you drivin' 'round town with the girl I love and I'm like, forget you...

It becomes increasingly harder to keep strong and steady as the song goes on. Every other line reminds him of Mitch. Especially when Avi and Kirstie "flirt" for the song.

Kirstie and Scott: But since you been gone, I can't breathe for the first time....

A tear falls down his cheek. Fortunately, he stuck through until Kevin and Avis's break down section. During their "battle", Scott turns and wipes his tears from his face.

Making sure his mic wasn't in pick-up distance, he clears his throat, turns around and continues the song.

As the show goes on, Mitch still hasn't shown and the group thinks after the show, it's all over.

They all look over at Scott, who has tears down his face during a moment of silence to calm down everything.

He nods as he understands his friends are sorry Mitch isn't there.

Soon, the others sit on the steps as Scott sits at the piano and stares at the keys.

Everything is quiet as they all watch Scott.

He wipes his tears and works up his voice.

Scott: So uh....tonight...I want to do something new...something we don't usually have in a Pentatonix show..I am going to sing by myself and play the piano..so...here goes..

He swallows hard as he fights his best to not cry.

He begins to play and sing All Of Me by John Legend.

Scott cries throughout the whole song, but manages to keep his voice steady.

Once he is finished, the fans so nuts. Kevin, Avi and Kirstie all come over for a huge group hug to make him feel better.

Soon after, they start Let's Get It On.

Since Mitch isn't there to do the intro., Kirstie does it.

As the song goes on, Scott gets very into it. Belting out the words and crying in the process.

Scott: So come on, come on, come on come on baby. Stop beatin' 'round the bush...yeah...

Just then, Scott stops singing and turns around. The crowd goes absolutely crazy as Mitch appears o the top of the stage and sings:

Mitch: Scott, I've loved you all long!

Instead of the original lyrics.

Kevin, Avi and Kirstie all smile and keep singing. They smile and Kirstie takes over the lead as they all watch Scott and Mitch cry as they walk toward each other.

Just when you think it couldn't possibly get any louder, The fans scream 10 times harder when Scott hugs Mitch tightly and lifts him up as they hug.

When the song is over, they finish the show with Love You Long Time.

Scott and Mitch hold hands the whole time, but it doesn't mean they're back to normal and together again.
