When me and Skye wake up the next morning,we are not late for work.Skye goes to her room to get dressed while I stay in my room to change out of my pajamas.After I get dressed,took my ADHD(Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder:Trouble concentrating,Easily distracted,Very hyper,Very impulsive) medicine,and brush my teeth I put on some foundation,bronzer,and chapstick.Then I put my hair into a half-up half-down style and put the half-up into a bun.After all of that is done I look around my room and my eyes land on my guitar.When I was ten I had decided I wanted to become a musician when I grew up.So on my eleventh birthday my mum and dad had given me a guitar.However,I haven't touched since mum died.But maybe I should start playing it again.I stayed like this for a couple of minutes until I realized that if I didn't leave soon then I would be late again so I quickly grabbed my bracelet with the key and as I walked down the hall I clasped it onto my wrist.When I reach the lobby I get a big shock.I see Skye and JOSH talking."JOSH!!!!!!"I scream excitedly not at all caring that everybody is looking at me like I am crazy.As Josh turns around to face me I run as fast as I can and jump into his arms.He laughs and spins me around a couple times before setting me back down on the ground. I have the biggest smile on my face and my eyes are unnaturally bright.If someone were to walk in right now they would probably think I am a lunatic and should be sent to a mental asylum."Oh My God!!!!What Are You Doing Here?!I'm Not Dreaming Right Now,Right?!You're Actually Here?!"I ramble out joyously."Ha Ha Ha Ha!!No,you're not dreaming right now!Yes,I am actually here!And I am here because I missed you guys!"Josh responds happily."This is the best day ever!!!"I exclaim."Oh Skye we've got to show him the room!!!You're going to love it Josh!It is awesome!Come on,Pick up the pace!"I ramble as I start dragging Josh with all my might."Destiny calm down,It's not like he's going to disappear"Skye laughs out as I drag Josh to the room.

When we finally get to the room,we start talking."A secret boyfriend and a secret tunnel.That's just showing off"Josh tells the two of us while looking through Mum's diary.Skye is leaning against the doorway while me and Josh are farther into the room."I can't believe you're here!"Skye says to Josh.I have my arms around Josh's waist and I do not plan on letting go anytime soon."It was the only way to get you're attention and make you realize how much you miss me"Josh explains to Skye.I feel bad because I haven't been being the best friend to Josh that I used to be."Of course we missed you"Skye tells him while walking towards us."I have a list of things I want to do today."Josh tells us."Hit the beach.Some Josh goss catch-up.And get to the bottom of who mystery S.J. is"Josh lists off.I sigh"Normally that would be great"I tell him but can't finish it and so I look at Skye pleading with my eyes."But things are kind of crazier today"Skye finishes and I smile at her,the look in my eyes showing her how thankful I am that she didn't make me finish the sentence.She smiles right back and when I look into her eyes I can tell that she doesn't mind that she had to do that for me because she knows how hard it is for me to tell someone no especially Josh and her.She then leaves the room making me and Josh follow after her.

"Okay,what madness are you going on?"Josh asks us as Skye opens the door to the lobby"We're fully booked,It's Sean,Austin,and Ben's regional course advancements-"I get interrupted"Where do I go for concert auditions?"A girl with a blue guitar asks us"Uh....Through there"Skye says awkwardly pointing to the room"And ...We're having a concert?"I say though it sounds more like a question than a statement."Your lives really are amazing"Josh says as the three of us walk into the room.

Me,Skye,and Josh right now are following Christina wondering why we are having a concert."Kaylee's gig was the highest-rated episode yet.So I thought we'd have an end-of-the-season online music event.Invite fans to perform"Christina explains to us.To be honest though I want to know why nobody told us about this."Music festival?"Skye asks"Don't we get a say in this?"I ask her with bit of anger and attitude laced in my voice."Yes,We need somebody to run the auditions.We've got performers arriving all day."Christina tells us as she turns around noticing Josh"Sorry,who are you?"She asks after she notices him."Josh,Skye and Destiny's best friend"Josh explains to her while wrapping his arms around mine and Skye's shoulders as me and Skye wrap both of our arms around Josh's waist and giggle a bit."The bff available for a spin-off series"Josh continue making me and Skye laugh lightly."We can't audition people"I tell Christina laughing slightly.While I was saying this I notice her looking somewhere behind the three of us.I slightly turn my head just enough to see who she was looking at.I couldn't believe who it was,My DAD!!My eyes widen slightly however I quickly compose myself deciding to tell Skye and Josh later."Their cheerleading skills are required elsewhere"Josh adds making me smile and laugh a bit more."Uh...It's Ben,Austin,and Sean's Qualifiers today"I clarify while looking at Christina."Fine,whatever.But I need someone to cover the auditions"Christina says quite rudely may I add which makes me scoff.After I do that she glances at me quickly.After that quick little moment in time me and Skye look at each other and our eyes connect.Then we both look over to the front desk where Noah and Kaylee are both working silently.Me and Skye then turn our heads toward each other again and our gazes lock once more.We both nod our heads slightly."We've got an idea"Skye says"Since Noah seems to be single again"I finish my lips forming into a smirk."I'll go talk to them"I tell Josh and Skye before I walk to the front desk."Hey"I greet them in an irritatingly cheery voice."Hi"They both greet the suspicious tone clear in their voices."So,we are having a concert and me and Skye need two people to cover the auditions today.Can you two maybe do it?"I asks getting straight to it.They both look at me with unsure looks on their faces"Please,I really need you two to do this"I plead."Fine"Kaylee agreed"I guess"Noah says still looking and most likely feeling unsure."Thank you guys so much,I owe you two big time"I exclaim happily quickly hugging both of them and kissing both of their cheeks before skipping back over to Josh and Skye"And that's how it's done"I say jokingly flipping my hair over my shoulder and pretending to look at my nails.The two them just laugh.Soon I join them.

Me,Josh,and Skye just arrived at the place where the regional's were taking place.I smile as we turn a corner and my eyes immediantly land on Ben."Are you sure you're okay tagging along?"Skye asks Josh for the hundredth time."Skye I'm sure he doesn't mind""Yeah,it's cool"me and Josh reassure at the same time.Me and Josh then turn to look at each other and then smile.Then I remember what I need to tell Josh"Okay,So no humiliating photos or bringing up that time Skye sneezed spaghetti up her nose.Also no mentioning any of my clumsy accidents because if you do the consequences will be severe.Understood?"I threaten Josh with a smile however the look in my eyes told him I meant every word.He nods quickly."Basically don't embarrass us"Skye interjects."In front of your cool new friends"Josh says pouting."You'll always be the coolest"I reassure him as I pull him into a quick hug."Put that pout away.You know you're our favorite"Skye tells him smiling before looking around for the boys."Oh,There they are"She says once her eyes land on them.We head over to them.I immediantly hug Ben as I greet him.Skye does the same with Austin."You made it"Ben says"Of course"I respond"Loving the colors"Austin says since we have their colors painted on our cheeks(Ben's color is green,Austin's color is yellow,And Sean's color is Red.)Well I have Ben's color painted on my cheek,Skye has Austin's color painted on her cheek,And Josh has Sean's color painted on his cheek."Josh man from the city.You're on the winning side"Sean concludes once he sees Josh's cheek."I'm team Sean,Skye's team Austin,and Destiny's team Ben."Josh explains"Oh,and Skye once sneezed spaghetti out of her nose."Josh quickly says.The boys all laugh lightly.I however go to jump on Josh.But Something holds me back.I groan and look down seeing Ben's arm around my waist.I cross my arms across my chest and pout.I probably looked liked a little kid who has just been told that they can't have ice cream before dinner."Fantastic?"Sean says however it kinda sounds like a question."How does this work anyway?"Josh asks the three boys"We all go down to the track one at a time,the fastest time wins,and the top three qualify for nationals."Ben explains his arm still around my waist."Isn't Danielle here to cheer you on?"Skye asks Sean while looking around."No,she couldn't find any pom-poms to match her shoes"Sean says we all laugh lightly but I could tell Sean was sad that Danielle didn't come."Five minutes till race time(I think)Five minutes"We better go"I tell Skye and Josh.With that being said,Me and Skye both lean up and give Ben and Austin a kiss I then go over Sean and quickly give him a kiss on the cheek."Hey,What about Sean,We've got to spread the good luck around(I think)"Austin says to Skye.Skye looks at me and Josh.I shrug and she silently goes up to Sean and gives him a kiss on the cheek.I grab her hand,smile at the boys one last time,and lead Skye away with Josh following us.

Me and Skye are at some table and Skye was talking to Danielle on the phone trying to convince her to come and support Sean."I just think it would mean a lot to Sean if you came to support"Skye explains to Danielle. I move closer to Skye and grab her hand in mine again as I try to listen to what Danielle is saying"I was perfectly clear with Sean.Muddy sports and me don't mix(I think)"Danielle says through the phone."He just seemed pretty upset that you wouldn't be here"Skye tells her"He did?"Danielle asks sounding shocked."Yes,he did"I quickly say before grabbing Skye's phone and hanging up on Danielle."So if a girl like Danielle bites you do you become one of them?"Josh asks us as he walks up with drinks."I just feel bad for Sean"Skye defends herself."Last time to switch colors"I teasingly say to my sister."Funny"She responds.Me and Skye see the guys that were looking for something in mum's secret tunnel.When they see that we notice them they immediantly take off on the bikes that they are sitting on.Me,Skye,and Josh immediantly start running after them"It's those guys that were sneaking around in the basement.We think their working for Gill"Skye explains to Sean"What were you looking for?Who are you working with?"I yell angrily.Eventually the three of us stop running as the two guys skid to a stop next to a car and guess who gets out of said car.......GILL MATTHEWS!"We knew it!Their working for Sean's dad."I say annoyance clear in my voice."You have to follow them"Me and Skye tell Josh in sync."Why would I do that?"He asks us"We need to be at the race"I tell him."Oh,I wish you were Kaylee she's really into all this mystery stuff"Skye says and to be completely honest I can't believe she just said that."Ouch"Josh exclaims while putting a hand where his heart is."That came out wrong.Sorry-"Skye starts"No,It's cool.You obviously got crazy stuff going on.And I shouldn't of just shown up."Josh tells us and it makes me feel so bad that he feels this way."Racers take your positions"The announcer states.Me and Skye both look over in the direction of the place where the race is taking place"Go support Ben and Austin.Don't worry the Josh pal has not been deploited just yet"Josh assures me and Skye.I quickly give him a VERY tight hug as me and Skye say thank you before running off.

Me and Skye are watching all the racers.It's now Sean's turn.I am very nervous because I know how important this is for him.Suddenly he loses focus and falls off his bike.I gasp.
