(This takes place during Episode 8 when they are at the El Ray Theater)

"Alright lets get this show in motion! Do we have any lights yet?" Miss Jenn hollered around . "Has anyone heard from Carlos its not like him to be late!"

"Maybe Seb knows?" Ricky said

"Seb is not here either. Carlos wasn't in music today though." Nini pointed out

Just then Carlos walked in slowly and Seb followed.

"Hey sorry I'm here now."

"Carlos! Seb! Your late! Where were you guys!"

"I-" Carlos's voice cracked and was weak as he didn't finish his sentence

"Carlos I need you to speak up we have a lot to do today."

"He can't Miss Jenn." Seb spoke up

"What do you mean he cant he has a voice he can use it." The whole room was now listening to the conversation that was going down.

"He lost his voice while choreographing stick to the status quote yesterday." Seb said as Carlos tried to speak up.

"N- no I'm fine,  just a bit hoarse that's all." Carlos spoke not wanting to let Miss Jenn down. 

Most of the cast gave questioning looks but Miss Jenn was so busy she didn't notice.  

*Flashback to rehearsal the day before*

"Come on guys you go to the left not the right lets run it again!" Carlos yelled.

They had been practicing the dance number for 2 hours but Miss Jenn wanted it perfect for tech rehearsals next week. Today was the only day they had time to work on just it. Carlos could feel his voice starting to go but just ignored it. He got a drink of water and started it from the top.

'No, no, no

Stick to the stuff you knowIf you wanna be cool, follow one simple ruleDon't mess with the flow, no, noStick to the status quo'

"That's it! Perfect!" Carlos cheered them on and yelled over the music as they did the moves perfect.

'Don't mess with the flow, no, no

Stick to the status—Stick to the status—Stick to the status quo'

"That. Was...... PERFECT! Alright we did it perfectly, keep practicing till its full muscle memory. Ill see you all tomorrow at rehearsal. Have a good rest of the day everyone!" Carlos smiled trying to ignore the pain in his throat. After everyone had dispersed Seb walked up to Carlos.

"Hey.."

"Oh Hey Seb I thought you left" Carlos said as he turned around.

"Are you feeling alright? You dont sound yourself." Seb had a concerned look on his face

'Yeah I'm fine I think I just strained my voice a bit." Carlos shrugged off.

"Oh ok, you wanna hang out tonight or facetime?"

"No sorry I have a bunch of things to do tonight."

Carlos didn't actually have things to do that night. He wasn't feeling well and just was not in the mood for people. He knew Seb could tell something was up but Seb didn't push.

*skip to lunch the next day*

The whole group was wondering about Carlos. He was normally one of the most social of them all and they barely heard him talk today. He sat silently at lunch then left for the last 20 minutes of it.
