Allie's POV:

I go around everywhere I can't find her. When I get back to my house I see Julie and Flynn walking together. "There you guys are. I've been looking everywhere for you." I say, walking up to them. "Clearly not everywhere cause we're right here." Flynn sasses.

"I've been texting you all day, the least you could have done is text me back." I say. "I sent you a poop emoji, I think says plenty." Julie says. Flynn nods. "Julie and I were just giving you these before we go to my place, we won't need them anymore." She says.

They try to hand me their Triple Threat shirts. "I won't take them." "Fine, then I'll give them to my dad and he can wash his car with it, though it might scratch the paint with all the lies and betrayal." Flynn says. I groan at this. Seriously?

"Look, I'm very sorry for not telling either of you, but I need you both to know how important you are to me. There's no way I would have made it through this year if it wasn't for the both of you." I say. "But it was three strangers who got you back into music." Julie quips.

"I don't need someone in my life who lies and keeps things from me." Flynn says. She doesn't mention Julie because even through she's the same level of mad, we're sisters, she's in my life no matter what. "Goodbye Allie. Come on Jules." She says, going to walk around me.

"They're ghosts!" I blurt. They both stop. "What?" Julie asks. "The boys in my band, they aren't holograms, they're ghosts. And when we play together people can see them." I explain. "What do you mean 'ghosts'? Like the ones who rattle chains and go boo?" Flynn asks.

"No, and I'm pretty sure that's just a hurtful ghost stereotype. These guys are just normal dead dudes. Well...Reggie's a little questionable." I say. They exchange a look before Julie takes out her phone. "What are you doing?" I ask.

"Texting dad, he said to tell him if I was worried, and Al, we're worried." She says. I stop her with him hand, grabbing her phone. "So you wanna be difficult? Meet me in mom's studio in thirty minutes and I'll prove to you I'm not crazy." I say. I hand Julie her phone.

"And please don't text dad." I add. They exchange another loo before turning back to me. "You have thirty minutes." Flynn says. I grin and hug them before running off towards the garage. When I get there Alex is back and they boys are kind just laying around.

"We have thirty minutes to practice that song to show Julie and Flynn that you're ghosts and save my friendship." I say. They all look at each other. "So does this mean you're joining the band?" Luke asks. I shake my head. "If I can fix things with them, yes." I say. They all jump up.

"Let's go boys, we have work todo." Luke says. With that we get too practicing. All too soon the thirty minutes are up and Julie and Flynn are knocking on the garage door. "Thanks for coming, we just wanted to rehearse the song so it's perfect, which it's not, so..."

"No, if we're gonna hear a song from your imaginary ghost band, we want it to be perfect. So get back in there. All of you. You too." Flynn says, pointing in random directions. "They're not out here." I tell her as the boys laugh behind me. "Oh, we know." Julie says as they enter the garage.

I turn to the guys. "Alright guys, you ready?" I ask. "Totally." Luke calls out, grinning. Alex just nods. "Uh, can they go somewhere else, I need space to rock out." Reggie says. I nod and turn back to my friend and sister.

"Uh, can you go stand over there. Reggie needs some space to rock out. He feels weird walking through you" I tell them. They both laugh. "Wow, when you create a world, you really live in it." Flynn says. I guide them over to two chairs and sit them in them.

"If you'll notice, there's no equipment to produce a hologram. Feel free to look around." I say, walking over to the keyboard I moved in here. "The guys took a poem I wrote about you two and put it to music." I explain. "Awe, I wish we didn't have to talk to dad after this." Julie says.

I roll my eyes. "It's called 'Flying Solo.'" I tell them. With a that we start.

Allie

If I leave you on a bad note
Leave you on a sad note
Guess it means I'm buying lunch that day

I know all your secrets
You know all my deep dish
Guess that means some things they never
They never change

We both know what I, what I
What I mean

When I look at you it's like I'm looking at me

The boys then appear both Flynn and Julie scream, terrified looks on their faces.

Allie(Boys)

My life, my life would be real low, zero
Flying solo(Oh oh oh)

My life, my life would be real low, zero
Flying solo(oh oh oh) without you

All

Hey!

Yeah, yeah

Hey!

Yeah, yeah

My life, my life would be real low, zero(oh oh oh)
Flying solo with out you

I kneel in front of of a terrified Flynn and Julie.

Allie

You know who I'm liking
Way before I like them
Duh, cause you like them first

And if somebody hurts you
I'm gonna get hurt too
That's just how we work, yeah
That's just how we work

It will never change
We both know what I-
What I mean

When I look at you it's like I'm looking at me

All

My life, my life would be real low, zero
Flying solo

Luke goes around and kneels on the couch behind us. I grab Flynn's hand and walk her over to Luke with Julie training cautiously behind us.

My life, my life would be real low, zero
Flying solo without you

Hey!

They both jump at this.

Yeah, yeah

Hey!

Yeah, yeah

I bring them over to Alex next.

My life, my life would be real low, zero
Flying solo without you

The music fades a little but keeps playing as we walk over to Reggie. Flynn then proceeds to put her hand through him. "Weird, right?" He asks, grinning. "They're ghosts!" She exclaims. "Oh, we prefer, uh, musician spirits." Alex corrects.

"Allie, so does this mean you're joining our band?" Luke asks hopefully. Before I can answer Julie steps up. "Um, actually, I think you're joining her band." She says. "I'm gonna go with what she said." I say, grinning.

Luke's smile widens and we amp up the music again.

My life, my life would be real low, zero
Flying solo

My life, my life would be real low, zero
Flying solo without you

Hey!

Yeah, yeah

Hey!

Yeah, yeah

My life, my life would be real low, zero
Flying solo without you.

Allie

You!

With that the music fades to where it's just Luke strumming so they don't disappear yet. "Still want to talk to dad?" I ask Julie. She smiles. "No, we're good." She laughs. I grin at this and bring the two of them into a massive hug. Everything is perfect now.
