APPLAUSE erupts around her as the last performer standing between her and the spotlight finishes strumming, the grin on his face unbelievable. How could he be so excited?! Bewildered and terrified, Aurora takes one step toward the stage. Two. With each movement comes a deep breath, and her nerves finally die down. I’m alone. It’s only me here. No one else. As her mind blocks everyone else out, she squares her shoulders and starts to stride, confidence building the closer she comes to the stage. Soon enough, she’s up the few stairs, and across the length of the flooring until she’s at the microphone. One last breath as she envisions everyone who’s supported her today, everyone who motivated her to do this. With all of these faces, all of these friends in her head, her mouth drops open to speak. “I’m Aurora Parker, and this is my take on On Top of the World.”

They were probably so good that everyone backstage forgot about me falling over.

This bottle is almost empty. And I can't stand up.

The performance was going better than hours when they had rehearsed. It was the energy of the crowd, on top of, melting into one another to create their one sound. Which  admittedly during practices Spike had simply taken for granted. This was their second to the last song, the one that was added at a last minute. At a big eyed plea and a affirmative 'we should do it'. it's ready for us to do it.' from the other members when talk of the song came up. It was their newest baby, something Spike and Kyle had  started penciling up as a joke before it rounded off into the song that was about to hit the ears to the audience now.

"We've only performed this song once so far --" "At a party," Lee added afterward, "At a party for a friend," Spike added with a look over at his friends. "It's a new one, so go easy on us!"  Spike missed what Kyle said behind him, but he knew this song was one of his big favorites.

"If you've ever wanted to know how people like Taylor Swift and Bruno Mars get their hits so well, we're gonna teach ya exactly how it's done. Let's call it: Pop 101"

Looking over at Lee when he did so Spike's fingers hit the first keys on his keyboard of their next set song. The motion happened effortlessly then repeated itself to build up the song's introduction. The wicked grins both he and Lee shared at the songs's start held briefly until Kyle's boomed in with an excited "Awwwwww yeah...!" Near Kool Aid man styled. Marley threw her head back, grinning at Kyle before Lee added something in off mic that made her grin widen more.

Spike looked down to see himself play the notes over again over Telephone, his keyboard, her melody booming ten times louder than their usual basement hangout. Spike heard Kyle subtly tap in on his keys drums.

"Can you guys tell me where are all of our starlets at?" Kyle excitedly asked over Lee picked up asked into the mic positioned over his keyboard. "STARLETS? WHERE YOU AT?" Spike's call into the mic afterward had no forethought, only pure adrenaline as he heard Lee and Marley chime in with the same calls. "All the people out there who's had their share of bad days or things just aren't working out your way!" Lee explained as Spike excitedly shifted keys with a mad grin, hooked on the amplified sound of their voices and their instruments. "To the people frowning, to the people who's still trying to find their way. We promised we'd play a song for you." Spike added, fondly thinking of a handful of friends and the girl he'd promised a song to on Twitter.

"For all the shooting stars! For all the Starlets!" Kyle happily dedicated before those drumsticks went to town.
