Kyle was walking to Mimi's place after rehearsals, "God, I'm beat. She's lucky I love her".
He complained while dragging his feet, then slowed down as he saw Mimi outside, "I thought we were watching a movie", he thought.


He slowed his steps and decided to sneak up on her.


"Where is he?" Mimi thought as she left her bedroom.
She walked towards the front door window seal and looked outside.


"I texted him, is his phone dead?" she thought while gazing outside.
She spotted Kyle's red shirt, "Oh-..oh?", she drifted off and her body slumped as she watched Kyle from outside.



Kyle hugged her and lazily shifted his body weight on her.
"What are we doing cause I am tired, Mimi", he sluggishly said.
She stood there quietly but her body was tense then relaxed when she recognized his voice, "Kyle?"
"What?" Kyle replied.
"I'm Kiki...Mimi's older sister", she claimed.
"Wait..what?!" he said jumping off of her.


Kyle took a few steps back and looked her up and down, "Oh shit, sorry I thought you were Mimi", he rambled.
"Do we really look that familiar?" Kiki asked annoyed.
"Yeah actually you do, you just have different eyes-" he said.
Kiki interrupted him, "We don't look anything alike, you idiot".
"My bad", Kyle apologetic but then he recalled he had met Kiki before.
"Whatever, what are you doing here?" Kiki asked.
"I was stopping by...but I think I forgot something at home", Kyle said slowly turning around.


"I'll tell Mimi you stopped by then I guess", Kiki said.
Kyle scratched his head, "Does she still remember that one time?...Probably not", he thought.


Kiki watched him as he walked away, "You're much more mature now", she said gazing at his height.

In the studio, Calvin tweaked the song on the console as he waited for Alex to show up.
Mimi patiently waited in the booth going over her lyrics.
"Well look who it", Calving looked when he heard the door open, "You're late, hurry up and sit down so we can begin".
Alex made a quick glance at him but continued walking. He wasn't normally late to his studio sessions.
"God damn kids, I need a vacation", Calvin murmured.


Alex waltzed inside and sat down on the stool next to Mimi. He paused looking at the space between them.
"Hey, can you scoot closer and turn towards me?" he barked his orders at her.
She grimaced, "Excuse me?", she barely knew him and he was telling her what to do.
"Just do it, it helps with the song's chemistry", Alex demanded.
"What the hell? He was late, who does he think he is?" she thought but unknowingly turned towards him anyways.
"I'm gonna play the track in ten seconds, get ready people", Calvin spoke through the intercom.
Alex took off his glasses and cleared his throat. Mimi took a swig of her water then began singing her part.



♫ Cut me up like a knife
And I feel it, deep in my bones
Kicking it high
But I love even harder
You wanna know? ♫

♫ I just wanna dive in the water, with you
Baby, we can't see the bottom
It's so easy to fall for each other
I'm just hoping we catch one another ♫



Alex began his part and caught Mimi off guard with his voice, "No wonder he's full of himself", she thought.
♫ Oh na na, just be careful, na na
Love ain't simple, na na
Promise me no promises
Oh na na, just be careful, na na
Love ain't simple, na na
Promise me no promises ♫


♫ Baby, I think about you
And I feel it, deep in my heart
Maybe we just ain't meant to be something
Maybe we are? ♫

Alex gazed at her as she sung her part once more, "She's good", he thought.
♫ I just wanna dive in the water, with you
Baby, we can't see the bottom
It's so easy to fall for each other
I'm just hoping we catch one another ♫

Flint walked into his bedroom and found his family sitting on the floor, "Asia?" he said startled.
"Oh hey, you're back early today", she smiled at him while getting up to greet him.
"Yeah they let us go early today since its Friday", Flint explained.


"That's good, and hey I heard about the interview", Asia said.
Flint became nervous and stuttered, "O-oh really?"
"Yeah, congratulations! I'll get to see you on TV I can't wait", Asia cheerfully said.
"Oh..yeah", Flint said relieved, "She must not have heard about the other part", he thought.

Alex walked into the studio with a grocery bag, "Hey Max, they were out of that Monster drink you like so I got you something else".
"Seriously? Well thanks anyways", Max took the drink from him.
Cameran sat up from the chair, "Hey, did you get my chips?"
"Yeah here", Alex tossed it to him, "What are you guys still doing here anyway?"


"Nothing really..just watching her fail at her dance routine over and over again", Max chuckled.
"Don't you idiots have anything better to do", Alex complained while staring at Mimi.
"Well Max doesn't want to go out with me so I'm bored", Cameran whined.
Max ignored Cameran's remark then glanced at Alex, "Why do you care? You got a crush or something?"
Alex ignored Max as he focused on Mimi's steps.


"Okay Mimi, you're doing good now here comes the spin", Rio said
"Okay, I think I got it this time", she said sweating puddles.
"Good, cause I don't think my feet can take anymore", he cried.


Rio spun her around and once more, Mimi landed on his foot, "OW!"
"Damn, I'm sorry! One more time", Mimi whaled at Rio as he caressed his foot.
"No, we are done here. Find someone else to rehearse with", Rio angrily stomped off.


"I can't seem to focus..", Mimi dawdled.
Alex still stood there gazing at her through the glass.

"I heard you guys drove Calvin crazy this summer in Japan", Keith laughed at the thought.
"Barely, that guy is just a wuss. You should've been there instead", Dylan complained.
"Well you know why I had to leave early, I probably could've stayed longer since she came home the same day you guys did", said Keith as he smoked his cigarette.
"That's nice to know", Dylan carelessly said. He was getting sick of hearing things about Jenny.


"So..I see you're still mad with her. Don't you think you're going a tad overboard?" Keith pestered.
"No I don't, she chose to trust some strangers over me", Dylan said, "And now one of them is here for the year, taunting me".
The door opened and a familiar somebody walked through the lobby.
"Oh yeah..No Trouble is here. Well you can't just go around punching people in the face Dylan. That's how we get lawsuits and...", lectured Keith.
But he stopped talking when he saw the man's face in his peripheral.


Keith immediately stood up, "What the fuck are you doing here, Steffen?" Keith said enraged suddenly.
"What Keith? You work here?" Steffen stopped and looked at him confused.
They hadn't seen each other in years, not since they were in a band together.
Dylan sat there watching Keith's emotions unfold. Steffen saw Dylan and immediately recognized him, "You too?"


"Do you not remember the last thing I said to you years ago?", Keith asked.
"I-I do, but I didn't know you worked here!" Steffen exclaimed.
As he spoke Keith's fist balled up in fury.


Keith immediately swung at Steffen knocking him to his bum.


"I said stay away from here!" Keith continued to hit Steffen, "I told you!"
"Keith!", Steffen still conscious cried out his name.
"You scumbag!" Keith ignored his cries.
Dylan stood in shock as he watch his biggest influence demolish the man before him.


"What were you saying about hitting people?" Dylan muttered under his breath.
