Words can not describe how I felt when Reggie showed up. It's like I was... myself for once. But he did prove a point. Why am I being so nice, or even my true self, to him?

I shake my head and walk to my closet. I guess a downfall of this ownership is getting the spotlight too much. Maybe Luke was right, maybe I really did get the spotlight more than I should have.

Ugh! I need to stop thinking about those boys! I'm trying to bring them back, and this is not helping!
I change into a dark purple dress and grab my makeup bag. I start applying everything until Willie walks in.

"Yes?"

"I, um, just wanted to make sure the show was going on still." He says.

"Of course! Why wouldn't it be?" I ask.

"I don't know. I saw the boys walk out and thought something happened."

"Oh, something did happen. Let's just say Caleb's task for me is going to work out." I smirk.

"Wait, you didn't stamp them, did you?" He asks.

"Well not all of them!" I chuckle.

"He really got to you, didn't he?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." I say looking away.

"Ever since Caleb brought you back, you've completely changed."

"Wow, even you agree with the boys! I haven't changed, Willie. I just gained ownership, so I have to have more control." I explain.

"Well, you gained too much! Emma, I know you. You would never try to do anything to hurt anyone. So please, just be yourself."

"I'll try, Willie." I sigh. He nods his head and walks out. I finish putting my makeup on and walk out. Time to put on a show, I guess. I go backstage and wait for the announcer and dancers to get to their spot.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the star of our show, Emma Covington!" The announcer says. Well, here I go...

"Hello everybody!" I shout as I walk on. The crowd goes crazy as they see me go to the front. "It has been such an honor getting to own this club. Now, there have been some changes, as you can see. But, that doesn't mean we still don't have amazing shows!" I turn around to my band. "Performers, I think it's time we show everyone where the magic happens!" The crowd applauds once more as the band begins playing. The dancers and I turn around and start walking around.

This is the anthem
Here's what you came for
This is the moment
Magic was made for
Come one, come all, let's
Light up the sky, now
You feel the magic
Happening right now

Calling all dreamers
Time to let your mind run free
To believe in make-believe
To be who you wanna be
Callin' all dreamers
A celebration in the street
And the sights you're gonna see
Are far beyond your wildest dreams, yeah

You don't need wings to take flight
Magic don't stop at midnight
So hold on tight, enjoy the ride
'Cause you can

Reach for the stars in broad daylight
Heard there's a spark you just can't fight
When you wish you may, you wish you might, and
Magic happens
Dreams were made to make come true
Waitin' for someone like you
Just a-bib-bib-dibi bib-di-boop, and
Magic happens

That's when (that's when)
Magic (magic)
Happens (happens), whoa-oh-oh
That's when (that's when)
Magic (magic)
Happens (happens), whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

As simple wish, it just takes
A true love's kiss and spells break
A shooting star to catch your eye, yeah

You don't need wings to take flight
Magic don't stop at midnight
So hold on tight, enjoy the ride
'Cause you can

Reach for the stars in broad daylight
Heard there's a spark you just can't fight
When you wish you may, you wish you might, and
Magic happens
Dreams were made to make come true
Waitin' for someone like you
Just a-bib-bib-dibi bib-di-boop, and
Magic happens

That's when (that's when)
Magic (magic)
Happens (happens), whoa-oh-oh
That's when (that's when)
Magic (magic)
Happens (happens), whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh

We strike our final pose as the crowd cheers us on. I step forward and take a bow. As the performers walk towards the audience, I teleport back to my room. I don't know if anyone knows me in the crowd, and I'm not going to risk hearing or seeing anything again. As soon as I enter, I notice someone standing by my mirror. I freeze and stare for a few seconds.
