The campers gathered in the boy's cabin to surprise Ricky, who was still sleeping. "Okay, I'm gonna count to three." Carlos quietly said.

"On three or after three?" Kourtney inquired.

"Are we really doing this again?" Fallon whined.

"Right?" Carlos agrees. "Not this again."

"Happy birthday!" Maddox suddenly shouted and everyone followed along with her.

Ricky screams as he jolts up, wide awake. He laid back down, trying to calm his fast beating heart and relax after realizing it was just the others. "And happy opening night, to those keeping score." EJ adds with a smile. "Our show might be in danger, but right now our focus is Ricky."

Ricky chuckles. "Guys, you shouldn't have. For real, you almost gave me heart attack.

"You're an old man now?" Jet retorted.

"But wait. There's more." Carlos spoke up.

Ashlyn looks confused. "There is?"

"What is he talking about?" Ophelia asked in confusion.

"Come on in. Your best friend is old enough to vote." Carlos smiled.

Then suddenly the door opens and Big Red walks in, holding a cake. "Please tell me these bunks are air conditioned."

Ophelia gasps, smiling at the red-haired boy. "Big Red, you're here!"

"Biggie?" Ashlyn's eyes lit up, smiling at her boyfriend.

"Of course you showed up." Ricky grins, walking over to him to hug him.

"We've spent every birthday together since pre-school." Big Red smiles and Ophelia clears her throat. "Along with Ophelia." He adds quickly, earning a smile from her and a chuckle from Ricky.

"Yeah. And of course you brought a lotto ticket." Ricky smiled.

"Brought a what now?" Big Red furrowed his eyebrows.

"A lotto ticket? It's the last thing on my bucket list." Ricky points out. "That's why you're here, right?"

"You walked on the moon?" Big Red tilted his head to the side in confusion.

"He actually did it all summer. I'm Jet." Jet introduces. "Who are you?"

"That's Big Red." Ophelia replies. "He has been mine and Ricky's best friend for, like, ever."

"I thought your best friend was Fallon." Jet said in confusion.

Ophelia shrugs. "She is. You can have more than one best friend."

"I am also Ashlyn's boyfriend." Big Red added, setting down the cake. Ashlyn smiled, hugging him.

"Our friend first." Ricky chimed in, gesturing to himself and Ophelia.

"I feel like I missed so much." Big Red chuckled.

"You did, buddy." Fallon nodded in agreement.

"Excuse me." Ricky said, moving past the group to sit at the table with the cake. 

Jet then turns the cake around to him. "Make a wish."

****

Before Ophelia knew it, it was time for opening night. Everyone was in back stage all getting ready and prepared for the show. "Half hour call, everybody!" Maddox announced.

Ophelia was sitting at her vanity, trying not to freak out. She couldn't believe it was here already. She was going to be Anna in 'Frozen' that would be recorded for the whole world to see. It was very intimidating and scary. Especially for someone like her who only has been in one play her whole life. Suddenly her eyes were covered by someone's hands and she smiled since she knew who it was.

"Guess who." 

"Ricky?" Ophelia grins. "Or I guess I should say Kristoff." She teased.

Ricky chuckles, pulling his hands away from her. "How are you? You ready for tonight?"

"Trying not to have a panic attack." Ophelia admits, taking a deep breath which caused Ricky to glance at her in concern. "But I'm ready." She replied, smiling with a look of determination in her eyes.

"You're gonna kill it." Ricky reassures her, putting his hands on her shoulder sand giving them a comforting squeeze. "You're the best Anna there ever was."

"I don't know about that," Ophelia chuckles, smiling at him in the mirror. "But thank you."

"Greetings, theater children." Channing calls out, making his presence known while walking into back stage. "Listen up. You see this camera? There are about ten of them planted throughout the theater. It all comes down to tonight. Okay? Big new announcement." He chuckles. "We will be live streaming tonight's 'Frozen' performance on Disney PLus in order to drum up interest in our documentary."

Carlos shrieks suddenly at that and honestly, Ophelia felt the same. "Oh!" Channing points at him. "Save the scream for on stage, snowman. When you find out your carrot's been replead by a stick of dynamite." Everyone gasped at that.

"Dude, what are you talking about?" Ricky inquired, taking his hands off Ophelia's shoulders but he left a hand on her back to comfort her after seeing the more anxious she got.

"I may throw a few things at you guys, last minute." Channing admits. "It's fun stuff to shake up the show."

"You mean, different than how we rehearsed it?" Gina's eyes widened.

"You just wanna make us look like fools." Luca realized.

"You guys were so great at that last rehearsal, remember? We need that, but more. Okay? So just change some dialogue, slap each other, you know. Pull some wigs off. It's fun stuff to amp up the livestream, right?" Everyone stared at him nervously.

EJ clears his throat. "We can do that."

The others stares at him in shock. "What?"

"No, we will do that." EJ nodded.

Channing smiles. "Excellent. Okay. Have fun, alright? At each other's expenses." He chuckles. "If you aren't trending in Brazil at midnight, you haven't done your jobs. Okay? Yay!" He chuck"Sled and walked away, leaving everyone else tensed and nervous.

Maddox makes the strangling motion as he left. "Yeah, same here." Ophelia mutters. "I hate that guy."

"I think we all hate him." Fallon sighed.

Everyone began talking over each other, staring at EJ in disbelief. "Elton!" Carlos' raises his voice, getting the others to quiet down. "Even I think we shouldn't pull each others wigs off!"

"Exactly!" Gina agreed.

"Settle down!" EJ shouts, getting everyone to stay quiet. "You guys, I was acting, okay? To get that jerk off our hands."

"You sure?" Ricky raised his eyebrows. 

"Channing may know what makes a good TV show," EJ continues. "But we're theater kids. And we're gonna do tonight our way. Final decision."

"That's a great decision." Fallon reassured him, sharing a smile with him, her smile widening and blush forming on her face when he intertwined their hands together.

Everyone agreed with what EJ said and went back to doing their own things before the show. 

****

It was the beginning of the show going on and so far Alex and Emmy were doing amazing at being young Elsa and Anna. And of course, Gina and Luca were great at Queen Iduna and King Agnarr. Ophelia had trouble finding Kourtney though. She looked everywhere she thought Kourtney might be, but the Honeycomb Cabin. She sighed in relief when she spotted Kourtney on her bed, holding onto a stuffed tiger.

"I should've known you would be here." Ophelia smiles softly. "Alex and Emmy are like little stars on stage right now." Then concern fills her gaze at seeing how shaken up Kourtney was. "Kourt? You good?" She asked gently, walking over to her bed. 

Kourtney clears her throat, sitting up since she had been hiding under her covers ."I'm just having kind of, like, an anxiety flare-up at the moment."

Ophelia's eyes widen. "You're having a panic attack...Kourt, why didn't you tell anyone?" She frowned, sitting on the bed by her. 

"I didn't want to bother anyone." Kourtney replied in a shaky voice.

"It's okay." Ophelia reassures her, putting her hand over Kourtney's. "You're okay, alright? You're gonna kill it. Just bring in that braveness tonight when you showed last night when you climbed that rock wall." She encouraged.

Kourtney grimaces. "I think I left that at the top of the wall. These things, they don't go away in a night, so..."

"You're not alone." Ophelia reminds her, squeezing her hand. "I know how it feels to feel so panicked and overthink and worry about everything. But you're gonna be incredible. You won't be alone on stage, remember? I'll be right by your side 'cause we're sisters. In the play and outside of the play." 

Kourtney nods, letting out a deep breath and smiles. "Sisters." She confirmed, squeezing her hand.

****

Ophelia managed to get Kourtney back to the barn and soon it was time for Ophelia's next scene. Her next scene was with Ricky and Carlos for the song 'In Summer'. "Summer? I don't know why, but I've always loved the idea of summer, and sun and all things hot." The audience laughed at Carlos' comment.

"I'm guessing you don't have much experience with heat." Ricky noticed, backing away off to back stage with Ophelia as Carlos started the song.

"Nope." 

At the end of the song, the audience cheered and applauded Carlos.

****

Soon it's time for Kourtney's big scene, 'let it go'. So far she was killing it and everyone was loving her. But before the chorus the music suddenly stopped along with the lights causing everyone to panic. Then Ophelia noticed Channing in the back, laughing at his phone. She nudged Ricky, getting his attention and pointing back at Channing. Ricky glared at Channing at seeing this, rolling his eyes. The two realized Channing must've done something with it. Ophelia looked around for Corbin since he had been back stage with them, but she didn't see him. 

She had been planning on telling him that Channing had been the one who turned off the lights and music to see if he would do anything about it. Then she saw him by Maddox, who was trying to work with the sound system. Ophelia took a deep breath and left backstage, earning a confused look from Ricky. She knew what she had to do. As Kourtney looked around nervously, she locked eyes with Alex, who encouraged her to take a deep breath. Big Red whispered to Miss Jenn to get her phone and they both turned on the lights on their phone, shining at Kourtney. Soon the rest of the audience followed their lead. Kourtney was still breathing heavily as she resumed singing without no music.

"It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small." Her soft voice gets louder while she kept singing. "And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all. It's time to see what I can do to test the limits and break through. No rights, no wrong, no rules for me. I'm free." She got more confident as she continues on with the song and Ophelia was happy to see the audience was still loving the performance. "Let it go. Let it go. I am one with the wind and sky. Let it go. Let it go. You'll never see me cry." She glances over at the wings with a smile, her smile widening at seeing her friends look at her with encouraging faces and Ashlyn even gave her two thumbs up. "Here I stand and here I'll stay. Let the storm rage on."

Ophelia makes it to where Channing stood by the light switch and pushes up the lever to turn the lights on, surprising Channing. The audience gasps and cheers. Kourtney looks relieved and smiles wider. Ophelia glares at Channing. "Don't get me started."

"My power flurries through the air into the ground." Kourtney steps on the ground, making fake ice appear behind her. "My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around." Ophelia goes back to the wings back stage to stand by Ricky again.

"I'm guessing you had something to do wtih the lights being turned back on?" Ricky smiled at her.

"I wasn't about to let Channing win." Ophelia grinned at him and chuckled along with him before they turned their attention back to Kourtney.

"And one thought crystallizing like an icy blast." Kourtney raises her arm, making it seem like she was icing the stairs and a glowing blue light cover the stairs to make it look real causing the crowd to gasp at that. "I'm never going back. The past is in the past." She twirls around with her cape, taking off the pull off dress she had revealing the blue sparkly dress Elsa wore at the end of 'let it go'. She tosses the outfit off to the wings and the crowd all stands up, cheering for her. "Let it go, let it go. And I'll rise like the break of dawn." 

As Kourtney walks up the stairs, the props of the doors to Elsa castle move together in the back to make it look like Kourtney was standing on the balcony. "Let it go, let it go." She then pulls her hair down from the bun the braid was in, letting her braid fall. "That perfect girl is gone. Here I stand in the light of day. Let the storm rage on.  The cold never bothers me anyway." While she sang, the stairs were moved so she was faced to the front. Everyone cheered and applauded loudly for her, even Corbin cheered along with everyone.

****

"Ten minute intermission." Maddox announces. "And if anyone sees Channing, punch him." 

"I should've done that when I turned the lights back on." Ophelia grumbled.

"So, what's eighteen, like?" Big Red asked Ricky.

"Well, it's kinda like seventeen, except everyone keeps asking me what it's like." Ricky replied.

"You guys didn't, like, outgrow me in two weeks?" Big Red questioned worriedly.

"We could never outgrow you." Ophelia reassured him.

"Yeah," Ricky agrees "Never, dude. I've honestly never felt more like a kid. i was so excited to turn eighteen. Kind of...I don't know."

"Don't wanna grow up so fast?" Big Red guessed.

Ricky nods. "Kind of exactly that, yeah."

"Wait. Did everybody get a card from Nini?" Ashlyn suddenly inquired.

"Did you just say Nini?" Ophelia gasps, staring at Ashlyn in surprise and her eyes lit up. "You better not be joking right now."

Ricky stares at Ashlyn in disbelief. "Nini's here?"

****

It was before Kristoff's solo when Channing aimed the camera at Ricky and Ophelia happened to be in the same area in back stage. "Ah! The ex shows up to swing his sword. Yes."

"Okay, dude?" Ricky glares at him, pushing his camera away. "Me and her are none of your business. So get lost before someone gets hurt. Seriously." Channing walked away after he said that.

"I'm surprised he left without a fight." Ophelia admits. "Thanks for saying that. I was so close to punching him."

Ricky chuckles. "I would've paid to see that." He nudges her playfully. He smiles. "It's not a problem. I hate how he keeps trying to get in our personal lives."

"Ricky," Maddox suddenly walks over to them, handing Ricky's guitar to him. "Get into character." She then pushed him towards the stage.

Ophelia chuckles, smiling as she moved to stand at the wings. She couldn't see Fallon anywhere back stage, she didn't know where EJ was either. Little did she and the others know, Fallon was with EJ in the director's cabin, helping EJ and supporting him with his call with his dad.

****

At the end of the show, everyone went out on stage to take their bows. The room was erupted with loud cheer and applause. The loudest cheer of them all happened to be for Ophelia and Kourtney. They both smiled at each other as they met at the middle of the stage, giggling as they held hands and walked to center stage where they both bowed. Then the cast lined up, taking each others hands for the final bow. Kourtney then stepped out in front of the cast, waving her hand and making it seem like she was making snow appear. Then fake snow fell from the ceiling. 

Once everyone was out of costume, they all met in the barn where Maddox had already started cleaning up. "My babies." Miss Jenn smiled at the group.

Kourtney walks up to her with a smile. "Were we good?"

"No. You were incredible." Miss Jenn complimented and hugged Kourtney.

"Wait." Corbin's sudden voice caught everyone's attention and they notice him and Channing had walked into the barn. He stares at Miss Jenn with surprise. "Jessica? From the first 'High School Musical' movie?" He smiles. "It is you, Jessica."

Miss Jenn shrugs and smiles. "Close enough." She chuckled and hugged him back when he pulled her in for a hug.

"You were our favorite extra." Corbin told her.

"You were my favorite Corbin." Miss Jenn replied.

Carlos steps forward, furrowing his eyebrows. "Should we give you space, or..."

"You know what? Hold on." Channing speaks up. "I actually wanna put a microphone on the girl. This is really good."

"Okay, let me at him. I've hold back from punching him long enough." Ophelia grumbled and went to walk forward, but Ricky held her back.

"Actually, Channing," Corbin turns to face Channing. "Why don't you take a long five? Okay?" He takes his microphone off, handing it to Channing. "Get lost. It's done. We're done."

Channing's eyes widen and nods in disbelief. "We're done? Yeah. Okay. Well, I always have final say in the editing room."

Corbin takes an intimidating step forward, causing Channing to take a step back and look around nervously before he left the barn. "Who would ever thought the villain would turn good?" Luca joked, breaking the tense silence in the room.

"What team?" Corbin asked, facing the group with a smile.

Gina's eyes lit up and she looks excited. "He's doing it."

"Wildcats!" Ricky smiled.

"What team?" Corbin raised his voice this time.

"Wildcats!" The whole group responded.

"What team?" Corbin grinned, now shouting.

And the group shouts as well, all smiling widely. "Wildcats!"

"Wildcats!" Corbin repeated.

"Get your head in the game!" The group chorused.

"Wow." Corbin chuckles. "That felt right."

"Last night of camp, huh, kids?" Miss Jenn spoke up.

"So this is it then?" Gina inquired.

"Define 'it'." EJ answered.

"Just kind of feels like something is over." Gina admitted, sitting on the edge of the stage where Miss Jenn now sat.

"Sometimes, the really good stuff begins only when something else ends." Miss Jenn smiled.

"Once in a lifetime means there's no second chance." Corbin suddenly sings. He walks through the aisle the group made for him, walking over to Miss Jenn. "So I believe that you and me should grab it while we can."

"Make it last forever and never give it back." Miss Jenn sang, scooting to the side to let Corbin sit by her on the edge of the stage.

"It's our turn and I'm loving where we're at." Corbin smiled. Everyone else took a seat nearby the stage as they all sang the song 'Everyday' from 'High School Musical 2'.

Ophelia sits by Ricky on the edge of the stage, sharing a smile with him as he picked up his guitar that laid nearby him. "Because this moment's really all we have." Ophelia and Ricky harmonized, staring at each other fondly while he started playing guitar.

"Every day of our lives." Ricky sang.

"Wanna find you there. Wanna hold on tight." Ashlyn smiled at Big Red, who sat by her with his arm around her shoulders and then he sings, "Gotta run."

"While we're young and keep the faith." Maddox and Jet sang, sharing a smile. 

"Everyday from right now." Carlos and Kourtney chime in. "Gonna use our voices and scream out loud."

"Take my hand." Luca smiled at his girlfriends, intertwining his hand with Gina's. 

Gina smiles at him. "Together we will celebrate.

EJ smiles at Fallon, who sat beside him and wraps his arm around her shoulders. "Oh, everyday." Fallon smiled at him and leaned into him.

****

The group all takes turns with signing their names on the wall that read 'frozen' in the backstage of the room while they sang 'Everyday'. When they were done, they all gathered outside at a camp fire to make smores, and Corbin even went with them. They all spent the last night of camp together, savoring the memories they made at camp and making new ones. Everyone also even lit up sparklers.

"Uh, you guys?" EJ suddenly speaks up, gaining everyone's attention. He was looking at his phone, looking and sounding surprised. "We're tending in Brazil."

Fallon's eyes lit up, grabbing onto his hand. "Wait, so that means you can stay." He smiled softly at her, squeezing her hand in response.

"Oh, dude, I forgot. You got an opening night card." Jet cut in, handing a card to Ricky. "Found it behind the couch."

"Oh, you too, Ophelia." Maddox added, handing Ophelia a card.

"It's from Nini?" Ophelia smiled her eyes widening a bit. She nudges Ricky and smiles encouragingly at him. "Open it, Rick."

Ricky opens the card. "Yep." He chuckles softly. "She remembered. She remembered the lottery ticket."

Ophelia smiles softly, watching as he hugs Big Red back when the red head hugged him. She then opened her card and read what Nini wrote.

Dear Ophelia, or better known as O to friends,  

I know we aren't as close as we could've been, but I'm forever grateful for the friendship we have. You are so kind and caring. Literally a sweetheart with a sarcastic and feisty flare to it. And you killed it as Anna, by the way. I knew you would get Anna. You're so incredibly talented. I know you'll go far and do great things. And who knows, maybe we both will be famous one day and we could collab or something. But for now, I'm not saying a goodbye. I'm saying see you later, O. 

Love, Nini. 

Ophelia smiles softly, the fact Nini wrote such a sweet and heartwarming letter made her a bit emotional and she wished she could've got to see Nini. But she was so glad Nini wrote her a card and she will always cherish it. The same goes for their friendship.

*****

ONE MONTH LATER

If you asked Ophelia a year ago that if she thought she would be walking down a red carpet at the premiere of the 'frozen' documentary she would've laughed. But here she was, walking over to where the red carpet was set up. Ricky was already there talking with Corbin, who was talking to one of the many cameras pointed at them. The other teens had walked into the building where the screening was happening already, but a few had stayed on the red carpet longer to take more pictures and talk to the press more. Those few included were Carlos, Kourtney, Fallon and Gina.

"We're at the world premiere of 'Frozen: The Musical: The Documentary' here in the heart of Hollywood." Corbin explains with a smile. "I'm here with Ricky Bowen. You ready for fame?"

"Oh, boy. I'm not sure about that." Ricky chuckles. "You know, I'm just enjoying a chill quiet life back in Salt Lake City."

"Oh, and here's the leading lady! Ophelia Roberts!" Corbin notices, gesturing her to come over with a smile. Ophelia smiles at him, hoping that she's hiding her nerves. "Ophelia, what about you? Are you ready for fame?"

"Honestly, no. It's exciting and scary at the same time." Ophelia admits with a chuckle. "But I know that I can get through anything with this great group of people who are like my family." She smiled softly.

As everyone of the group got interviewed one by one, at the end they all took a group picture and all were screaming excitedly. 

****

Now the group were inside, sitting in director chairs that had their names on it. There was a fake campfire on the center of stage, blue lights were shown on the black curtains behind them, a 'Frozen' poster hung up and there was a big screen where the show would be seen. This would be the first time the group has ever seen the trailer and they were nervous yet excited for it.

"Hey, guys." Corbin smiles. "We're gonna keep this super casual, okay? Before we welcome all the audience in for the premiere, we're gonna show you the first full-length trailer for your reactions. Just be you."

"Where's Channing?" Carlos asked.

"Channing edited the doc, but we're no longer working together." Corbin explains. "Okay. Here we go. Just your honest reactions. And for the record, I haven't even seen this." 

"Whoo!" Ashlyn cheered and everyone followed as Corbin pressed play.

The trailer started out with Corbin voice talking over a video of campers playing games. "Summer. Time to kick back, relax, and have fun. Right?" The video pauses, turning black and grey. Then it shows Kourtney, who looked annoyed. "But when you take the first ever student production of Frozen and add a bunch of drama kids to the mix, sparks fly." 

Kourtney is up first for the solo interview they all did throughout the show. "Gina is my sister." Kourtney's name pops up on the screen at the bottom. 

Then Kourtney is shown on a different day, looking annoyed. "I mean, you know Gina." Gina is shown sitting in front of the barn, rolling her eyes, then it went back to Kourtney. "Gina. Gina. Gina, Gina." 

Kourtney is then showed at the solo interview again. "She's fantastic, right?" She then winked at the camera. Gina scoffed, looking confused at the trailer.

Then Gina is showed for the solo interview. "I'm sorry. She said what?" She chuckled in disbelief. Gina is shown sitting by the barn again. "You think you know someone." She muttered.

Kourtney gasps, her eyes widening. "I didn't say...That wasn't about you, I swear." Gina quickly said.

"Honestly, you come to Shallow Lake one way, and you always change." EJ said when he was next for the solo interview. 

"Me and EJ? Yeah, we're great. We always are in a great place." Fallon smiled as she was shown on screen for her solo interview.

Then a scene of EJ looking over his shoulder is shown on screen. "Hello, Val." He smiled. Then another scene of him walking by Val at the Color Wars is shown. 

"Yeah, I have a lot of questions about those two." Ricky admitted while he was in his solo interview. 

"What?" Fallon's eyes widen and she stared at EJ in confusion, who looked just as confused as he did.

"Wait, Fallon, I swear nothing is going on with me and Val." EJ reassured her.

"I was talking about the characters in 'Frozen'." Ricky explains, his eyes widening. "I-I finally learned their names. You guys." He looks at Corbin for help. "Mr. Bleu?" 

"A lot of new people this summer." Maddox says during her solo interview. A clip of Maddox glancing at Ashlyn during Color Wars is shown. "Some more memorable than others."

Maddox's eyes widen at seeing that, looking nervous. 

"I've never been to summer camp and I'm open to anything happening." Ashlyn grinned. The clip of Maddox looking at Ashlyn shows again.

"That?" EJ chuckles, his solo interview is shown again after that clip of Ashlyn and Maddox. "Yeah, that's gonna be a thing."

Ashlyn's eyes widen. "Oh, we should not have signed that release."

"That was really stupid on our part." Fallon mumbled.

"Oh, I've got a boyfriend back home, and I can't wait to see him again." Carlos explains. Then a scene that was recorded behind a bush of Carlos whispering something into another boy's ear is shown. Another clip of Carlos and that same boy is shown again of them walking out of the cabin and going separate ways. "Honestly, I didn't come here to make friends."

"They cut off the second part." Carlos exclaims in disbelief. "I said, 'I didn't come here to make friends, I came here to be a star.'"

"Yeah, dude," Ricky grimaces. "That's actually not much better."

"Oh, dear, oh, dear. This is not what I signed on for." Corbin muttered to himself. 

"Yeah, it's a little weird Ricky and I are best friends and playing the leads, but it's nothing we can't handle." Ophelia said during her solo interview.  A clip that was taken from the bushes is shown of her and Ricky talking and laughing. And then another clip of her kissing Ricky is shown. "I mean, he's cute and sweet, why wouldn't you like him?"

Everyone gasps at seeing the clip of Ophelia and Ricky kissing. Ophelia and Ricky shared a nervous look, his face turning pink. "Okay, I was saying that last part about Kristoff!" Ophelia defends herself and even though she had dark skin you could faintly see. "They asked me what character of 'Frozen' I thought was the cutest and I said Kristoff." She groans in annoyance, putting her face in her hands as her heart raced. "Now it makes more sense why they asked me that question." 

 "You two kissed?" Luca exclaimed.

"And I didn't know about it?" Fallon glared at the two best friends.

"In our defense, that clip wasn't supposed to be shown!" Ricky said defensively. "I even tried getting Channing to take it out of the trailer." 

"I really hate that guy." Ophelia mumbled.

"Wait," Kourtney speaks up, looking excited. "Are you two together? Or was that just like a summer fling?'

Ophelia and Ricky shares a look at that, both having a silent conversation. He then suddenly reaches over to grab her hand, intertwining his fingers with her which made her shyly smile. "It was real. We're together." Ophelia smiled softly, squeezing his hand in response and their friends all smiled as the girls excitedly squealed. 

"Gina and I are doing great." Luca smiles during his solo interview. "Why, did she say something?" He looked nervous and then a clip of them arguing during practice is shown. 

"Can you blame me?" Gina asks when she was shown at her solo interview. "I don't really like him. Why would I? He's so annoying. He's cute and all and got the charm, but I don't like him."

"What?" Luca looked heartbroken at seeing this.

"Wait, no," Gina looks panicked, glancing over at him where he sat. "I was saying that about Hans! Not you, Luca, you know I don't think of you like that."

"I'm in love with the girl playing Elsa, and it's eating me alive." Jet confesses at his solo interview. 

Kourtney raises her eyebrows while Jet was nervous. Maddox chuckles though, looking amused. Kourtney is shown at her solo interview again, flipping her hair over her shoulder. "This summer is gonna get hot." She then touched her tongue with her finger and made the motion of something being on fire.

"I have my eyes set on one thing this summer. And one thing only." Fallon spoke and Ricky is shown during his solo interview smiling as her voice over talked.

"Wait, ew, no." Fallon quickly said. She points at RIcky. "No offense." Ricky shrugged in response.

"And there's nothing that's gonna stop me." Fallon is shown smirking and then Ophelia is shown smiling at her solo interview, implying that she could be the one stopping her.

"This whole trailer is messed up." Ophelia  muttered.

"Agreed." Fallon nodded in agreement.

"I'm Big Red." Big Red suddenly shows up during his own solo interview. "I'm Ashlyn's boyfriend and I'm bi."

When the trailer ended, everyone has a look of shock and disbelief on their faces and they're all silent. Ricky then glances at Ashlyn, who smiles in response. He looks over at Ophelia and nods. "Good for him." Ophelia nodded in agreement.

"Is everyone okay?" Corbin hesitantly asked.

"I'm calling Seb." Carlos got up and walked away.

"I'm calling Big Red." Ashlyn then walked away as well.

After Kourtney was fanning herself, Kourtney stands up. "I'm calling my agent."

"Wait." Gina furrows her eyebrows ."You have an agent?"

"That's what you're questioning after all that?" Luca stared at her in confusion and he got up to walk away. 

Gina frowns. "Luca, wait!" She quickly stood and went after him.

"Yeah, okay, I think we're just gonna, like..." Maddox's voice trailed off as she started walking to backstage. 

"Yeah." Jet agreed and followed her.

"Fallon," EJ said, looking at her worriedly when she got up. "I swear, I don't like Val like that. You're the only one for me. Can we talk about this?" He asked as he followed her back stage.

Soon all that's left is Ricky and Ophelia and Corbin. "Honestly, this is just what it was like when the 'High School Musical' movie was debuted. It's all gonna work out. In the end." Corbin reassured them.

"I hope so. 'Cause right now it feels like everything is falling apart." Ophelia frowned.

"Don't worry. It'll work out." Corbin nods. "Probably."  He winked at the two before he pointed at the camera. "Shut this off for you." 

"Thanks." Ricky nodded.

Ophelia sighs, turning to look at Ricky. "I can't believe that jst happened.

"Me neither." Ricky agreed.

"I knew that trailer was gonna be a mess, but after seeing it all, it was even worse than a mess." Ophelia mumbles. "And I'm not looking forward to seeing the show if it's gonna be anything like the trailer."

"Well, at least we don't have to keep us being a secret anymore." Ricky smiled at her, stepping closer to take hold of her hand.

Ophelia smiles back at him, her heart fluttering. "Yeah, that's one good thing that was brought out of the trailer."

Ricky smiled softly and leans in, using his free hand to cup her face. She followed his lead, her free hand that wasn't intertwined moving to his shoulder as they kissed.
