Soaring Bird

'Get to the studio!'-Amelia
Allen looks at the text and then at all the dark studio windows. Is this a joke? Just then Maddox walks up and does the same thing.
"You got the text too?"
Allen nods and they push through the doors to see neon green arrows pointing them down the hall. They look at each other and then follow the arrows, it takes them to the meeting room and Allen feels his heart fall out his ass. This is it, they aren't going to be a band anymore, the label cut them.
"Ready?" Maddox asks, nervousness in his voice
No, not at all, but they have to get it over with. Allen pushes open the door and what he sees is not what he is expecting. The big business table is gone and is replaced with four bean bag chairs and a smaller table holding a projector. There is popcorn and gummy worms and gummy bears on a table.
"What is going on?" Maddox wonders.

Show a little more, show a little less
Add a little smoke, welcome to Burlesque
Everything you dream of but never can possess
Nothing's what it seems, welcome to Burlesque

Allen smiles and turns around when the door opens and Chantel walks through the door in a long blonde wig looking like Ali and a Cher wig in her out stretched hand so he can look like Tess..
"You are so over the top." Allen laughs at her and takes his wig.
Just then Rex walks through the door and Allen can't help but laugh because he looks like Marcus.
"You did not?" Allen cracks up
"Is this a good apology?" Rex asks while handing Maddox a bald cap and fake glasses making Allen laugh harder.
"Yes!"
They all sit down but before they can start the movie Chantel explains to Maddox that when this movie came out Allen became obsessed and forced her to watch it every weekend, and by the second weekend he decided that he was sassy and determined like Tess so he wears a wig to look like her and that she (chantel) was talented and beautiful like Ali. When Maddox asked who he and Rex were, she told him to watch and find out.
"Wait, you picked out your own character?" Allen asks Rex
"Yea, I love this movie."
"Am I the only one who hasn't seen it?"
"yea" they all say to Maddox before hitting play.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh! I get why he's dressed like that guy now!" Maddox says when the movie is over, "You felt like he was stealing Chantel from you."
"Yup." Allen said
"But," Chantel says, "Rex has one more costume change..."
"I will return." He says
"I am Shawn because we have become really good friend."
"Yea," Allen says then turns when the door opens
"I hope this is okay as my permanent character," Rex says walking in looking like Jack, "because I really like miss Ali here" he says the last part with a laugh and a smile
Chantel eagerly looks at her best friend, and he hangs his head and sighs.
"Just don't hurt her."
"So are we finally a band?"
"YES!" everyone shouts
