More Beautiful Than The Stars~ Luke

Stand Tall pt.1

JASMINE'S POV

"Look, don't worry, guys. Willie said he'd get us on that marquee" Alex tried to reassure us as we walked to the Orpheum. I sure hope he's right because I'm really nervous. "This is gonna work, right?" Reggie asked nervously. "It has to" Luke said as he gripped my hand tighter as a jolt hit us again. "Hey, are you guys ok?" We slowly turned around to see Willie.

"Yea" Cassian said with a groan. "It's nothing we haven't felt before" Alex tried to play it off. "How'd it go?" I asked. "Well, when that opening band wakes up, they're gonna find their bus 200 miles outside of Vegas with no chance of getting back in time" we all laughed as Luke gave him a fist bump. Ok, so maybe we can do this.

"And that means there's probably a promoter upstairs right about now freaking out" we all nodded our heads. Losing your opening band the day of the show, I would freak out too. "Nah. This is Hollywood, man. I'm sure he's being very professional" Willie said but I knew that he wasn't. Alex looked at us and walked closer to Willie.

Luke and I pulled back Reggie and Cassian giving them their space. "When did that happen?" Reggie asked as he pointed down at our intertwined hands. "This? We always do this. I me-" I smacked Luke in the chest and looked their way. "Luke and I kissed last night" the guys broke out in cheers. "But, that's all that happened" I turned to Luke who looked hurt.

"You said you weren't gonna tell them" he whispered as he pulled me close. "It's better than lying, no?" I responded with a smile as he pulled me close. He leaned in for a kiss but I gave him a cheek kiss. "Ok, I see how this is" he said as I laughed and saw Alex coming over.

"Alex, you all right, man?" Cassian asked first. "Yea. Yea, I'm ok" Alex said with an actual smile. "Yea, well, thanks to Willie, Panic! At The Disco needs an opening band" the plan was almost done. "Then I guess someone up there needs to know we're available" we all laughed as we poofed up into the office.

"Stop saying the bus drove itself" the promoter banged the phone into the desk. "Ok" the guy sighed as he clenched his hand. "Yea, Willie was right. This guys a total pro" Reggie whispered, which I have yet to understand. We are dead, they can't hear us!

"All right, boys, Jasmine. Let the magic happen. Alex, no dancing" Luke said with a fake stern voice. Alex acted as a ballerina and spun over to the lady's desk, knocking over her pencils and pens, giving Reggie enough time to type our band name into YouTube. While I wrote Julie's number down on the paper.

"Tasha! Get me CJ. Tell him I need a band to open in three hours" the promoter said. "Sure, but you might wanna check this out" Alex chuckled as the girl watched with amazement. "Somehow this video started playing on my laptop" Cassian gave Reggie a high five.

"It's got half a million hits in just two days" the girl explained. "Who are they?" The promoter asked as he watched our video. "They're a hologram band. They call themselves Julie and the Phantoms" she said as she faced the guy. "Tell your friends" Reggie added.

"Where are they located?" The guys asked another question. "Our very own City of Angels" the girl answered. "Book 'em!" He exclaimed. We cheered and danced a little. "Sure, I just don't know how to..." the girl looked weirdly as she saw Julie's number on the paper.

"Your handwriting is better than mine" Luke said as he stared intensely at it. "I know. No need to be ashamed" I teased. "Ok, we gotta go tell Julie" Cassian said as we poofed back in.

When we did we found Julie pacing. "Oh my gosh! What took you guys so long? Did Willie do it? Did you talk to them? Did they watch? Did they like us? Are we playing? Someone answer! Why's no one talking?" Julie said all in one breath. "Whoa! That's a lot of questions! Luke, Jas, you wanna take this one?" We nodded at Reggie.

"Take a seat" I said as we kneeled in front of her. "It's fine. Everything's fine" Luke reassured. "Yea. You should be getting a call right... now!" We all looked at Julie's phone with a smile but nothing happened. Of course, Alex timed it wrong.

"Ok. Right... now!" Alex exclaimed as he pointed at the phone as it started ringing. Julie starts cheering. "Nailed it" Alex held out his hand as we all gave him high fives. "Answer it. Go!" I rushed out.

"Hello?" Julie said as she cleared her throat. "Hi, this is Tasha from the Orpheum in Hollywood" we started silently cheering and dancing. "Is this Julie of Julie and the Phantoms?" We all stopped so Julie can answer. "Yes, it is" Julie responded.

We all started dancing again as Julie talked. We all jumped and cheered. Luke and Reggie caught Alex and lifted him up while Cassian and I jumped and shook each other with excitement. "We're playing the Orpheum, baby! Yea!" Julie cheered as I got on the table and danced with her.

"I'm swimming" Alex said as Luke and Reggie spun him around. Wow, what a crazy day. "Ok, there's so much I gotta do. I have to show, I have to tell Flynn. What am I gonna wear? What are you guys gonna wear?" Julie asked as us.

Luke and Reggie set Alex down. "Don't worry about us. We'll figure something out. Go, get Flynn, shower. Do whatever. We'll be here" I said as we all calmed down. I hope we'll still be here.

3rd PERSON POV

Trevor, well... Bobby came in from a run. "Hey, baby" he greeted his daughter, Carrie with a smile. "Hey" Carrie waved, not taking her eyes off the screen. "What is that? Sounds good" Trevor walked over to his daughter hearing the music.

"Please don't say that" Carrie moved the computer so her dad could see too. "Is that... Is that Julie?" Bobby asked curiously. "Yea. She plays with those guys and that girl. Of course she needed a gimmick. They're holograms" Carrie explained. "And somehow, because they world hates me, they're playing the Orpheum tonight" his eyes widened in realization as he knew who they were. He didn't know Cassian, but he definitely knew who the rest were.

"How's that even possible?" He was talking about them appearing, but Carrie thought something else. "I know, right?" He pulled out his phone and made a call for him and Carrie to get seats in the Orpheum. He knew the handwriting on the bathroom mirror looked familiar. And only a select few knew who he really was.

The question on his mind was, how were they here? And why now? He was hoping that he was wrong and that the girl just seen a picture of them and copied it. But if not, he was hoping to get some answers tonight.
