We were now at Rising Star, waiting for our time to perform after Mudslide Crush.

After they were done, it was our turn. We went on stage and got into our positions.

Wen started to play the keyboard but really sloppily. I looked at Wen to give him a worried glance.

"Trying hard to fight these tears, I'm crazy worried. Messing with my head, this fear, I'm so sorry," Olivia said, her voice shaking as she put her head on the mic.

I walked up to Olivia and rubbed her back, giving her a small smile.

Everybody started to try and play but Mo and Wen couldn't, and Charlie just gave up. We all started to walk off stage, but we heard someone in the audience.

"Trying hard to fight these tears, I'm crazy worried," Alex sang as we stopped in our place.

"Messing with my head, this fear, I'm so sorry," We hear a boy join in with Alex.

"You know you gotta get it out I can take it," Wen's parents sang, joining them.

Now everybody started to join in on the singing.

We all went back on stage when Scott started to play his guitar.

We all looked at the audience dance and sing as we all hugged, looking at the audience.

'We didn't win Rising Star, but we won something bigger that night,'

The next few days, I found out that Charlie did have a crush on me and now we were dating.

Charlie and I walked out of the school, hand in hand to see Mo with Scott.

"Hey, Charlie. Hey, Y/n," Scott said with a wave and a smile.

"Hey," We both greeted as we gave them a wave back before walking off.

'Sometimes, risking it all to have your voice heard pays off in ways you never imagined. Mel understood this, and was more than happy to help us build a place where all our voices could be heard. Outside of the basement,'

"Congratulations, Miss Reznick," Stella said with a smile as she held a can of lemonade as we all stood inside a new auditorium.

"Thank you so much. Thank you," She thanked, Stella handing her a lemonade.

"All right. Let's open up our music hall. We are officially—" Miss Reznick says as she was about to cut the ribbon that was on the piano.

"One second, Jenny. Photo op for the papers right here. Here we are," Principal Brenigan said as they both took a picture together.

"We are open!"
"Yeah!"

"Hey, you guys. Cheers," Miss Reznick called out as we all held our lemonades.

"Lemonade Mouth!" We all said as we took our sips of lemonade.

'And that Dad, is how Lemonade Mouth came to be. God, Y/n and I can't wait to tell you the rest in person. We really miss you, Dad. Love, Olivia and Y/n. Oh, I almost forgot, Dad. You're never gonna believe where we're playing next week,'

We were now all on stage, getting ready to perform one of our songs.

'I just hope our new guitar player can keep up,'

Ooh, yeah Mm Breakthrough
Up, Down, spinning all around
Fly high, falling to the ground
Sometimes dreams can feel so far away

Time keeps skipping out of beat
Left, right, tripping on your feet
Life feels like a string of cloudy days

Till you're breaking on through
Don't stop till you're breaking on through
Shake it till you make it
Till you're breaking on through
Don't stop till you're breaking on through

Stop still
Take another breath
Roadblock
Moving to the left
Get around whatever's in your way

Heartbreak
Pick up all the pieces
Don't stop
Dancing in the bleachers

[Wen]
I see it in the blind side
Movin' through the limelight
Groovin' to the music
I'm a use it when the time's right
Hopin' I can see o it
Thought the shadows, I can shine bright
Usually in life there's one shot
And this is our night
Listen to the rhythm we gi in'
And it'll make you
Start pushin' through barriers
It'll take you wherever that you wanna go
Never too late to keep pushin'
Till you break through
