{-THE CHALLENGE-}

"Michael! Michael get up!" John Lundvik tried shaking his friend, Michael Rice, awake. John had seen Michael, but he was the only one awake. Soon, Victor Crone began to wake up.

"What..... What's going on?" He sat up. John looked at him.

"I.... I don't know... Michael won't get up!" He sighed. Suddenly, Sergey Lazarev burst into the room, screaming in terror.

"WHERE AM I??? WHO KIDNAPPED ME?!?!?! I HAVE KIDS TO GET BACK TO!!!!!" Sergey cried. Victor had to cover his ears.

"Yeesh, calm down Sergey." Victor. sighed.

"DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!!!! YOU'RE THE KIDNAPPER, AREN'T YOU????" Sergey yelled out as loud as his lungs would let him. John tried his best to calm him down.

"Guys guys! We've all been kidnapped. There's no proving that one of us did the kidnapping!"

Katerine Duska walked into the room. Damiano David followed her close behind.

"What the hell is going on here?" Katerine asked.

"I... I don't know .. I remember being in my hotel room... That's all I remember ...." Damiano said.

That's when he had a realization.

These people were all from Eurovision! Damiano looked at Victor, then down at Michael, who was still asleep.

"D-Duncsn....." Damiano hesitated.

Nevena Bozovic, Netta Barzilai, and Kate Miller-Heidke came running in after.

"VICTOR!!!" Nevena cried and ran for his arms. Victor and Nevena are very close, dating in fact. Neither could live without the other.

"Nevena!" Kate cried. Kate and Nevena we're pretty close friends as well.

Michael began to stir.

"What? Where am I?" Michael asked faintly.

"Oh god Michael you scared me!" John cried. He helped Michael up off the floor.

"Does anyone mind explaining to everyone here what the hell is going on right now?" Netta asked with her hands on her hips.

"We would know as much as you do, Netta." Katerine sighed.

"Damiano. You brought up someone named Duncan..." Nevena began to say. John cut her off.

"He's talking about Duncan Laurence, and I honestly could care less!" John sighed. John wasn't too fond of Duncan. Especially after the Eurovision Song Contest in 2019. Duncan had won the competition then, and John was close to winning.

"John! Don't talk like that! He's our friend!" Victor cried.

"He's your friend! He was never my friend!" John called out. Victor rolled his eyes.

Sergey was silent, but it was almost like he had something he wanted to say. He bit his tongue and kept quiet.

"Look!" Nevena called out. She had been looking around for clues for the past few minutes, and she found something taped to the back of a closet door.

A note.

"What does it say?" Katerine asked.

"I'm getting there. Jesus." Nevena shot back.

"Eww... What is that giant red stain on the paper....." Kate asked, gagging. Nevena opened the folded note.

"It's in Italian." Nevena sighed.

"I got this." Damiano said, he grabbed the note from Nevena and translated it from Italian to English.....

"Hello, everyone.
