Tucker was half asleep, and Corrine and Gerard were leaning on each other, exhausted. Nellie and Hunter were laughing quietly, and Zoe and Georgie scowled at each other as they got back into the school van. "Where to now?" Nellie asked excitedly. "How about we drop off the sleeping back there and head out for some eats." Hunter said.

Nellie nodded. They pulled up to the place and helped their sleepy friends inside.

After they had successfully gotten the sleepyheads into bed, Georgie, Zoe, Hunter and Nellie all got back into the van, and headed toward a tiny little cafe called "Sincerly, Cupcake", a cupcake shop that was open late. The girl inside helped them choose out their cupcakes. Zoe got a "Muddy Cow", a chocolate chip cupcake with chocolate buttercreme. Georgie went for a big of an extreme, getting a Mimosa Cupcake, orange cake with orange rum buttercreme. Nellie and Hunter got matching "Black Velvet" cupcakes, a devil's food cake, with a dark chocolate whipped creme.

Nellie's hunger got the better of her, and she quickly ate her cupcake. It was like heaven for that short time it was on her tongue. She looked up to see the others slowly eating their treats.

Zoe giggled at Nellie, and quickly shoved the rest into her mouth, so the dancer would not be embarressed alone. Georgie eyed the drummer girl, his eyes giving away his amusement and admiration. Hunter laughed, and scooped a bit of icing with his finger, and rubbed it on Nellie's nose. The two started laughing, and soon, the whole group was rowdy with laughter!

Nellie scooped up a little bit of icing left on her plate and smeared it back at Hunter. She looked to her side and saw Zoe giggling. Nellie lifted the icing off her own nose and swiped it on Zoe's cheek.

"Hey!" Zoe laughed, and soon, all three's faces were covered in icing. Georgie just scoffed at them all. "You all look like idiots." he said, and just then, Zoe smeared some icing all over his cheek.

Nellie collapsed in a fit of laugher. Maybe it was the sugar from the cupcake talking, but she felt really good, and very happy.

"Why you little brat!" he exclaimed, and picked up Zoe from the waist, and slung her over his shoulder. Hunter and Nellie quickly followed after paying hurriedly, and ran to the van. But they weren't there! Where could they have gone? "Zoe?" Nellie called quietly. "Shhh! Maybe theyre busy..." Hunter said chuckling.

Nellie jabbed him in the side playfully, laughing. "We should find them, though." She said, opening the van door and sitting on the floor of it.

"Sir, please, don't, don't shoot." Georgie said as calmly as he could. They were in the alley next to the cupcake cafe, being held up by a man who's face they couldnt see. Zoe was clinging to Georgie for dear life, and he was clinging to his sanity with just as much ferver. "Give me the wallet!" he cried, and Georgie quickly pulled out this wallet and handed it over. "Good boy, now gimme the girl!"

Nellie and Hunter decided to drive around to find their missing friends. Nellie called Zoe's cell phone, but no one picked up, even after several tries. "She always picks up her phone." Nellie said worriedly, "Where are they?"

"What?" Georgie asked, confused. "You heard me, hand her over!" the man said, and pressed the gun to Georgie's neck. Before Georgie could even respond, Zoe threw herself at their attacker, who began slobbering all over her neck. She looked back to see disgust, and was that jealousy?, in Georgie's eyes. Yet she smiled at him, and let out a bit of a moan. She was moving her hands downwards, and then, Georgie smiled. The drumsticks! They were still in her back pocket, and she would use them as a weapon! Quick as she could, Zoe grabbed one, and pulled the man's head upwards. He smiled, but not long before a drum stick stabbed straight through his eye. He cried in pain, and released Zoe, who had time to seize the gun that was still in his hand. Then, she grabbed Georgie and they ran for it!

Nellie and Hunter drove back around to the cupcake shop, parking in front of the alleyway. Nellie saw Georgie being dragged along by Zoe, and quickly opened the van door. "Where'd you guys go?! We've been looking all over for you!"

"Go, go! Just drive!" Georgie screamed, and they threw themselves into the van, peering out the windows, looking for the masked man. They saw movement in the alley, and Zoe shrieked. "DRIVE!!" Georgie roared, and Hunter, who had been sitting there utterly confused, put the pedal to the metal. When they got within a good 5 minute radius from the school, Zoe and Georgie collapsed onto each other, shoulder to shoulder. "Oh, my god." he said, and Zoe, suddenly aware of her lack of her brother's presence, clammed up.

The group arrived back at the school. Georgie and Zoe dragged Nellie and Hunter inside. "What's going on?!" Hunter asked as Georgie slammed and locked the door behind them. "We-we just wanted to get home?" He stammered.

Zoe nodded furiously. She felt for her sticks, but only one remained. She frowned. Where was she going to get a new pair to compete! The competition was tomorrow! She nudged Georgie, and gave him a stern look. She motioned to her pocket, and Georgie nodded back. Then they both looked and Hunter and Nellie, both of their arms crossed, and giving them skeptical looks.

"Why don't we believe that?" Hunter asked, eyeing the movement the other two made. Nellie saw Zoe tense up, and knew something was wrong. She also realized that she would never get any answers out of Zoe if she was with the guys. "We should go to bed, though....if we're up past cerfew, we'll get in deep." She said, and the girls walked to their room.

The boys trudged up to bed. They dressed, and once Hunter's head hit the pillow, he was out. However, Georgie was up for a while. Thinking of nothing but Zoe pressed against him, holding on to him for dear life. It was a frightening feeling, but one he didn't regret.
The girls however, were still up. They sat talking quietly on Zoe's bed, Corrina fast asleep. She was snoring slightly, and the pale light through the window hinted at a small trail of drool from the left side of her mouth. "So, what happened?" Nellie asked.

"Well, we left to go to the van, and someone dragged me and Georgie into the alley. It was a robber guy, thingy, I don't even know! But he pointed a gun at Georgie. Told him to give him his wallet. Georgie gave it up without regret. But then he asked for me. And if I didn't volunteer myself, we would have been shot! So, I walked over to him, and he started slobbering all over my neck. I kept looking back at Georgie, and well, he looked almost jealous. But then, I remembered I had my sticks in my pocket! So I took one out, and BAM! I stabbed the guy right in the eye! He screamed, and Georgie grabbed me by the wrist and we ran! And then, you know how the rest goes." Zoe explained. All the while, her voice was getting louder and quieter, excited yet scared she would wake Corrine. She talked with her hands, in only a way Tucker knew she did. She was showing her true self to Nellie, finally comfortable with the ballerina. "And, oh Nellie! His arms! The way he held on to me!" she added, thanking the room for being dark to hide her crimson blush.

"Oh-oh God, Zoe. I'm so sorry. Did he hurt you?" She asks, and walks over to her friend's bed, and sits next to her. Nellie was only slightly aware of the wall that just fell around the drummer-girl's heart. She realized that it was hard for Zoe to open up, she'd found that out long ago.

"No! But his slobber was all over my neck! Ew! I should acctually go shower. You should get to bed.." Zoe said, gathering her things. "Anyway, the competitions tomorrow. I need new sticks. So, I don't know what I'm going to do! Good night!" she said, and quietly shut the bathroom door.

"I'll bet they have spares on sale. Goodnight." Nellie whispered as she turned to change into her pajamas and get into bed.
The boys were already in bed, but Hunter was too nervous to get any shut eye. His thoughts were racing...

The next morning, the whole school was buzzing with activites. Musicians played, singers were harmonizing, and Zoe, alone in her room, was freaking out, Tucker by her side. No sticks, no chance at winning. "It's ok Zoe! We'll find some!! Surely they have extras!! And it's your own beat, so, you don't have to worry about screwing up the music or anything! Calm down..." he said, but it didn't help. She was too nervous, too stressed, and she hardly got any sleep last night. The feeling of Georgie's arm around her kept creeping in through the night.

Nellie was quietly running her routine in her head in the corner of the dance studio. The room was packed with nervous dancers, practicing anything from hiphop to Irish step.
Corrina was in the hall, pacing back and forth, humming a song quietly to herself.

Georgie ran up and down the vocal scales repeatedly, his hands gripping the piano. He was nervous, but confident. He just couldn't shake the feeling of Zoe's eyes on him as their attacker kissed her neck. They were scared, but at the same time, held something he wanted to see when he did the same thing to her. He tried the scales again, this time, his voice cracked on a simple note. He swore, and slammed his hand onto the piano. This wasn't good.

Nellie was stretching, now, next to the piano. "Georgie? You alright?" she said, trying to get into a split. Her legs were stiff, for some reason, but she tried to work through it.

"No!" he yelled, but then instantly regretted yelling. "I'm sorry, Nel. I just.... I can't stop..." he stuttered. Did Zoe tell her about what happened? He had to try and repress the feelings. This wasn't healthy. And she couldn't possibly like someone back who was an asshole like he was. He took a deep breath.

When he yelled, she was surprised, and her hands slipped from the supportive position, letting her bottom fall to the ground into the split. "Well, got the split." she muttered, and turned to him. She didn't know if Zoe would want her to say anything. "You'll be alright, Georgie. Really, you're good."
