Grace spotted Troy in the gym, playing basketball for a bit, and smirked. She walked into the gym and said, startling him, "So, this is your stage, huh?" Troy turned around, startled, and replied, chuckling, "Yeah, but don't ever do that again. *Grace giggled* You could say that or you can call it a smelly gym." Grace caught the basketball that Troy threw to her and she said, "Trust me, I live in a house with four men. I know what smelly is like." Troy laughed and replied, "Just so you know, I was late for practice after having that one practice with Kelsi for the show." Grace sighed and said, "I know, that was my fault, and I do apologize. So, have you told your parents yet about the show?"

Troy sighed, he knew that his mother would be somewhat thrilled about him doing the show but his father..........he was another story. He looked at Grace and replied, as he caught the ball she threw to him,  "My parents' friends have always known me to be the basketball person, just like my dad. I doubt that they would be pleased. Your family..........they're royalty. The only problem you have to worry about is the press." Grace chuckled and took the ball from him, trying to get him to lighten up. She began to travel and he said, laughing, "Oh, that's traveling. That's traveling." Troy grabbed Grace by her waist, making her squeal and laugh. She laughed as his hands tickled her waist and she said, "Ok, ok! Truce! Truce!"

The two friends' fun was interrupted by someone coming into the gym, scolding Troy. Grace and Troy turned around to see Troy's dad coming into the gym. Troy cleared his throat and said to his father, introducing him to Grace who looked down at the ground, "Dad, this is Grace Anderson. You remember her from the dinner with her parents and brothers." Jack Bolton nodded and replied, his eyes firm at the shy girl, "Your singing buddy." Grace looked up at Troy with apologetic eyes and she said, "I suppose I better go. It was nice to meet you again, Mr. Bolton." The girl ran out of the building, much to Troy's dislike.
