"Where's Tim and Adam? Have they already left?" Chris asks as they all gather in the lobby of the hotel.

"Probably so." Avi answers. "This is like old times for Tim. I'm sure he's missed performing."

"I feel like I'm going to a concert with different artists performing." Olena giggles as she takes Austin by the hand.

They walk out on the porch of the hotel, clearly hearing piano playing coming from the saloon.

"I guess our mayor is anxious to get started." Rob laughs as they walk across the dusty street.

Tim looks up and smiles as they all walk into the bar but continues to play. Adam was sitting at the piano with him.

"PARTY TIME Y'ALL!" Austin shouts as he begins dancing across the floor to the music. 

One by one, everyone joins Austin on the dance floor. Chance hurries over and picks up the guitar and begins playing along with Tim.

Tim leans back and whispers something to Chance and he nods as he follows Tim into the first song.

Adam gets up and begins to dance with Jenika so she wouldn't be left as the wallflower. As Tim finishes his song, everyone claps and cheers.

"My turn! My turn!" Avi says as he runs up and takes the guitar from Chance. 

As Avi begins, no one is really dancing with partners. They're all moving to the music and clapping along.

"Thank ya. Thank ya very much." Avi laughs as he does his best Elvis impersonation.

"This would be more of a party if we had some alcohol to drink." Chance laughs.

"We could always pretend we're drinking. There are glasses behind the bar." Jenika giggles.

"I don't think imaginary booze has the same effect as the real stuff." Nate laughs.

"You would think that if there's going to be a saloon here complete with bar and even glasses that there would be alcohol somewhere." Tim says with a shrug.

"But can spirits get drunk?" Adam asks.

"I don't know but I'd sure like to find out." Austin laughs.

"Who's going to sing next? We need to keep the music going to drown out those freaking demon dogs outside." Rob says.

"I'll sing." Chris says as he walks to the makeshift stage. "I'm going to slow things down just a bit."

As Chris begins to sing some of the couples move to the dance floor and begins to waltz. Some really good at it, some not so much.

Tim and Adam discover that they waltz very well together as they dance across the floor staring into each other's eyes. The other couples back away, giving the dance floor to the mayor and his mate.

Others got up to sing. Chance, Austin, Nate, Rob and Jenika all taking their turn. They had group songs where they would all join in to sing. 

"Blame it all on my roots. I showed up in boots." Tim begins singing as he drapes an arm over Adam's shoulder. "And ruined your black tie affair."
