Part 15

"We have just enough time to grab a bite to eat then we gotta head back to the venue and get to work." Luke said as they were leaving the movie theatre

"Tonight should be interesting!" Rob chuckled, nodding towards Adam and Adrielle

"Think she'll come up onstage again? The crowd went wild at their back-and-forth last time." Luke stated

"For Adam, absolutely." Donna chuckled making the rest laugh

They made their way to a close restaurant and waited to be seated. As the waitress was ushering them to a long table that would fit the whole group, her phone chirped. Adrielle looked over at Adam, who was sitting next to her, and grinned. The waitress handed out menus and took their drink orders before walking away. They were all looking at their menus and talking about that night's show. Adrielle's phone dinged with a notification and Donna looked down at her daughter.

The young woman cautiously took her phone out of her back pocket to look at it. Since she was now doing all her schooling online, she was required to participate in online discussions with her fellow classmates. It was easier communicating with them that way. There was a thread she was involved in and someone else had posted in it so she received a notification. The kid wanted to argue with her about some After Effects stuff but she knew she was right. Rolling her eyes made Chance laugh.

Once they'd eaten, they made the trek back to the venue. Adam and Adrielle were "conversing" about the movie. Chance, Rob, and Austin were talking about the upcoming college football season. Tim, Avi, Luke, and Donna were walking in silence as they watched the beatboxer and pink haired young woman. The band headed into the venue to do their sound checks. Luke and Avi followed Donna & Adrielle onto their bus. Adrielle went to grab her laptop so she could get back to her school work.

Luke, Donna, and Avi chatted about Avi leaving Pentatonix and what he was doing now as well as why he was taking a few weeks to hang out with Home Free. Adrielle had gotten lost in her school work and wasn't paying attention to anything around her. She received a new message on her school email about a new project she had to do. Upon opening the email and reading it, she smiled and squealed with delight.

"What's up?" Donna asked as they all turned to Adrielle

Adrielle began making fiddle sounds that reminded Luke of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". Avi smiled, hearing the song too.

"Huh?" Luke stated so Adrielle turned her laptop around so the trio could see what her project was

"You want to do Home Free's version of "Devil", don't you?" Donna chuckled

They watched as Adrielle excitedly shook her head yes while making happy squealing sounds.

"I don't know if we can get Charlie to take some time off his tour to come out, sweetie." Luke told her with a frown

Adrielle sat back and thought about the project. Avi was curious as to what she was thinking. Especially when she grinned like she'd won the lottery. Adrielle took her phone and sent a text to her mother since she didn't have Luke's number.

"Luke, will you get the boys' measurements for Adrielle?" Donna asked as she read her daughter's text

"Sure. What for?" Luke questioned making Adrielle grin mischievously, "Ok, I get it. It's a surprise."

Adrielle winked making the trio laugh. She would have to look up live videos of Charlie playing the song so she could get the hand movements right. Avi was wondering what she was up to. Luke couldn't wait to see what she was going to do with this little project. He excused himself so he could find a tailor to come out and get the boys' measurements for Adrielle. Avi and Donna just sat there talking quietly and getting to know one another.
