Grace's POV:

Julie

Don't blink
No, I don't wanna miss it

One thing
And it's back to the beginning

Cause everything is rushing in fast
Keep going on, never look back

And it's one, two, three, four times
That I'll try for one more night
Light a fire in my eyes
I'm going out of my mind

Girls

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

Whatever happens
Even when everything's down

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

I gotta keep on dreaming
Cause I gotta catch that feeling

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

Then, suddenly, Alex poofs ok stage, bringing in the drums. He sends a smile my way and I grin wildly back. My heart lurches. They're here. Then Reggie poofs in. He looks happy. I look to my left, waiting for Luke.

Grace

Right now
I'm loving every minute

Hands down
Can't let myself forget it, no

Cause everything is rushing in fast
Keep holding on, never look back

And it's one, two, three, four times

Luke flickers in but then disappears. I put everything I have into the song, begging him to be here

That I'll try for one more night

He flickers in again. Then again. Come on, you can do this!

Light a fire in my eyes

Luke

I'm going out of my mind

I grin as he fully materializes and he smiles right back, meeting my eyes. Julie comes to center stage, mic in hand.

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

Girls and Luke

Whatever happens
Even when everything's down

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

I walk over to Luke with my guitar and we share a stand, grinning at each other.

I gotta keep on dreaming
Cause I gotta catch that feeling

Whatever happens
Even when I'm the last standing

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

I got over to the front of Alexis set and play with him before going back to my own stand. Julie and Reggie walk towards the front of the stage strip.

Julie

Like I'm glowing in the dark
I keep on going when it's all falling apart

Grace and Luke

Yeah I know it with all my heart

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Luke

Never look back!

We pull the instruments and I put my guitar on the stand behind me, picking up my mic.

Alex

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

Reggie

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing

I'mma stand tall I'mma stand tall!

Girls

Stand tall!

Luke and Alex

Stand tall!

Everyone

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

Whatever happens
Even when everything's down

I'mma stand tall

I'mma stand tall

I go over to Luke and put my mic in between us. He pulls away and we begin sharing a mic again, making our way to the front of the stage.

I gotta keep on dreaming
Cause I gotta catch that feeling

Julie is then on. My right with Reggie on her right.

Whatever happens
Even if I'm the last standing

I'mma stand tall

The drums fade out and then Alex is on Luke's left. Luke and I make eye contact one more time. There's reassurance there. Reassurance that they're going to be ok. I nod at him, smiling. He smiles back.

I'mma stand tall!

Everyone is cheering now. Julie and I look at the boys, tears coming to our eyes. This is it. They're gonna crossover. We turn to the crowd and bow. When we come up the boys are gone. I smile at Julie, nodding my reassurance. She smiles back.

After that we collect our instruments and let Panic! at the Disco on stage to play their set. When we are taken back to the dressing room Flynn comes in. "That was amazing guys! I knew you two had it in you." She says.

Julie is smiling, but I just go over and sit on the couch, hugging my knees to my chest. "You ok Grey?" She asks as they take their seats on either side of me. "No, but I will be. I just need sometime. I need to write." I say. They nod, smiling at me.

After that our dad, aunt, and brother come in and I put on a happy face for them. They really do make me feel better. We all sit in the room until Panic! is done then we change clothes before getting in the car and heading home, the entire time singing Stand Tall at the top of our lungs.

When we get home Julie and I turn to our family. "You guys and your Phantoms were unbelievable tonight. You know, I'd like to thank them for bringing music back into your life." Our dad says. "Don't worry, we already have." I say, grinning. 

"But we didn't thank you papi." Julie says. I nod. He smiles at us. Julie then turns and hands Carlos the dahlia and the two of us go over and hug him. "Hey Julie, Grace, uh, can I talk to you two for a second?" Carlos asks. "Yeah. Yeah, um, just give us a minute." She says. I nod. 

There's still one more thing we have to do. "Ok, I'll wait up. Don't ghost me." He says. My eyes widen. Reggie. With that he enters the house and we turn to our dad. "Just a minute." "Ok." He follows Carlos in and we head to the garage. 

When we open the doors and stare into the empty darkness of the garage my heart sinks. They're really gone. Julie starts. "I...I know we already said this, but uh..." She trails off, not able to finish. "Thank you guys." I finish for her. "Your welcome." Comes our pained reply. 

There's an aggravated sight. "Dude." My heart my heart stops. No. No, no, no. They can't be here. Julie rushes over and flips the light switch. When she does we see the guys laying in a pile on the floor. They all look to be in so much pain right now.

"Wha-what are you still doing here? I thought you crossed over, why didn't you crossover?" I ask, tears coming to my eyes. No, they can't-they-why? Then a jolt rocks through their bodies. It looks excruciating. I gasp and step forward, wanting to help them as much as I can, but I can't.

They all sit up. "I guess playing the Orpheum wan't our unfinished business." Alex says. "Point Caleb." Reggie grumbles. "We wanted you to think we crossed over so we pretended too. We just-we have no where else to go." Luke explains. The broken, pained look in his eyes breaks me.

I shake my head. This can't be happening. "We thought you'd go straight to bed." Reggie says. "Well, I knew they would come down here, but no one ever listens to me-" Alex is cut off by another jolt goes through them. It looks even more painful than the last. 

"You have to save yourselves please." Julie says, walking over too Reggie. I got straight to Luke. "Go join Caleb's club, please. It's bette than not existing at all. Go, poof out. Just go. Please guys, do it for us. I say as we go back to standing in front of them. 

Luke stands, with effort, and walks over in front of me. "We're not going back there." Reggie tells us. "No music is worth making Grace, if we're not making it with you and Julie. No regrets." He says, looking down at me, straight in the eyes. There are so many emotions there. 

Without thinking that I might just pass right through him I throw my arms around him, holding him tightly. "I love you guys." I say. Then I realize something. I can feel him. I pull away and we stare at each other in total shock. "How can i feel you?" I ask, running my hands down his arms. 

He's actually glowing."I-I don't know." He says. I cup his face in my hands, brushing away the tears and he does the same for me. He gives me a small smile He then grabs my hands, holding them tightly, like I'm going to pass through him like usual. He turns to the others. 

"I feel stronger." He says. "Alex, Reggie, come here." I say. Julie comes over too and we form a hugging band circle. I squeeze both Luke and Alex tightly. When we all pull away the other boys are glowing as well. We all stare at each other in shock. 

"Whoa. I-I don't feel as weak anymore." Reggie says. "Me neither. Not like I was really that weak." Alex shrugs. We all laugh. The boys hold out their forearms and a purple stamp floats off their skin and disappears in the air. "What does that mean?" Julie asks. 

Luke looks down at me and grins. "I think it means the bands back together." He says. I grin as well. "You guys think we can try that hug thing one more time?" Alex asks. We all laugh and nod, going back in for another group hug. It feels so good to feel them. My boys are safe. 

They're safe and they're home.
