At dinner Violetta is being awfully quiet. A lot is laying on her shoulders. Her career is in jeopardy, the reunion coming up, and now she may have lost the love of her life to someone else. Thinking it was all too much before, now it really is all too much.

Both German and Angie seem to notice.

"Vilu, sweetie. I know you came wanting to visit us, but what really happened?" [German]

"Nothing." [Vilu]

"Are you sure? We haven't heard you talking to your manager or anything." [Angie]

"I did to let him know about the reunion show." [Vilu]

"Not true, Ludmilla saw you call no one and told me so. What are hiding Vilu?" [Angie]

Being caught is never a good feeling. What is worse is no knowing what your family will think of you running away from everything you've worked hard for.

"I left. I left the studio, my manager and everything. I couldn't take it anymore, I'm worked up that I needed space to be with family and time for myself to think." [Vilu]

"Why didn't you tell us?" [Angie]

"I don't know, afraid that you will make me go back or face my manager. Truth is because of my hiatus I don't know if I still have a contract or a manager." [Vilu]

"A good reason to give a call and find out. Sure life can sometimes control yourself, but you have to make tough decisions. But also stand up for yourself. It's your career, you make the final call." [German]

With that in her mind it built enough courage to face her fear. Being a bit apprehensive at first, she taps the call button quickly that way she can't turn back now.

"Geraldo." [Vilu]

"Violetta! Where are you? Why haven't you called?" [Geraldo]

"Sorry, but I just needed a break away. I couldn't continue working anymore." [Vilu]

"Well because of you missing your interview the label is getting bad representation. Trying to cover for you, but I can't anymore. From now on you are no longer a recording artist under Aires Records, and without a manager. Enjoy the solo act princess." [Geraldo]

Of course, Violetta's worst nightmare came true. Had a feeling this is what would happen. Completely depressed and in deep waters right now she could comfort from anyone right now.

What are the chances that a knock on her bedroom door will appear at the same time she wishes for friends.

"Come in." [Vilu]

It was Fran, Cami, Nati, and Ludmilla. All in their pajamas, carrying sleepover bags and pillows.

"What is this?" Vilu]

"One last girl's night." [Cami]

"Angie called us saying you could use some friends." [Ludmilla]

"Angie always knows what to do. I wish I can be like that. Right now I have nothing. No manager, no record label, no second album, and all my fans are expecting the next thing of Violetta." [Vilu]

"Wow. That is a lot." [Nati]

Cami shoves Nati nearly saying, "Not the righ time."

"Listen Vilu, you made it happen to gain those people. You can make it happen again, you just need to come out of this spiral." [Fran]

"Here, I have something that will cheer you up." [Cami]

Beings playing on her keyboard Shooting Stars.

Dancing, throwing pillows around surely lightened up the mood. Afterwards they watched movie, made some night snacks and eventually fell asleep. Not being teenagers anymore, many of them are use to being in bed early. The only ones up are Fran, Vilu and Cami.

"Thank you for being here for me." [Vilu]

"Of course, what are best friends for." [Fran]

Cami stands up to the piano and begins singing their song, Next To Me.

[Cami] Even when the rain falls

And you're feeling so low

Deep inside you're heart, There's a beautiful soul

Whenever all the darkness seems to steal your glow

Just remember we are best friends forever, in my heart

[ALL] When life changes, In me you can trust

We can get through, What happens to us

And I'm gonna be beside you

Don't even have to try to

We will stick together, Will be best friends forever

BFF that is you and me

[Vilu] Me~Oh~

[Fran] Oh~Yeah

[Cami] Forever~
