I opened the door, my jaw dropping when I saw who it was. I never would've expected to see this person in front of my house in a million years!

"Can I come in?" She smiled.

I blinked a couple of times. When I was sure that she was really standing in front of me, I nodded, numbly stepping aside so that she could get in. I closed the door after her.

"So where is- ah, Jake! Nice to meet you... Again."

Jake's eyes widened when he realized who she was. "Woah."

She laughed. "I'm a bit flattered that both of you have this reaction to me."

"That's because you're Grace Daniels!" I said. "You told us you work at Crystallize Records!"

Grace smiled. "All true."

"So, um..." Jake cleared his throat. "Not to be rude or anything, but why are you here?"

"Ah," Grace grinned at us. "Remember when you two sang 2 songs in L.A., when I first met you?"

Jake and I nodded.

"And I told you that I'd show the videos that I had to my company?"

Again, both of us nodded.

"I showed it to them," she paused for a moment. "And they loved it!"

My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. "R-really?!"

Grace nodded. "Yes, and they want to make you a star!" That, she directed at me.

"Me?" I asked, shocked.

"Yes," Grace repeated, looking at me in amusement. "And they want to see you now."

"Now?" I frowned. "So we have to go to L.A.?"

Grace nodded. "We have a private plane waiting in the airport for us already. So let's go."

"Wait, what about clothes?" I asked, standing up.

"It's alright," Grace waved her hand dismissively. "We can just get some there if you need to."

"C'mon, Jake," I said, holding my hand out to him.

Our hands clasped together, we stepped out of the house together, following Grace to the limo. When we all got in and the driver started heading towards the airport, I broke the silence.

"Um... Ms. Grace Daniels?" I asked.

"Call me Grace," she told me, smiling.

I blinked. "Al...right? Did you tell anybody that you were coming to get us?" I asked.

She grinned sheepishly. "Well, I did contact your friends and ask them about you."

Jake and I exchanged a look.

"How did you know how to contact them?" Jake asked.

Grace shrugged. "It's easy when you work for a huge company like Columbia Records."

After just a couple of minutes, we were in the private plane, getting ready to go to L.A. I snuggled into Jake's embrace, looking up at him.

"Jake?" I said softly.

He looked down at me, smiling. "Yeah, Lex?"

"Are you excited?" I asked.

"About what?" He furrowed his eyebrows, looking confused.
