Hey readers...Before we start....the pace of the fallout events will be a little slow in the beginning. Well the reason for the same is that a detailed understanding of the events is needed since all of it is a kind of chain reaction where one thing leads to the other. You might find the initial part dragged at some place at the moment but then I would request you to please have patience because when the track gets over, every piece in the update shall make sense. Hence, would request you to be a little patient, don't jump to conclusions too quickly

Manik – It all started when.......

Flashback starts

(Imp – The upcoming flashback is in Narrator's POV since there are multiple POV, also this is the longest flashback so using Multiple POV's will add to the confusion...so no POV in this, just remember that everyone is collectively telling this to Abhi)

A Big Label called Music Connects came to SPACE academy with a scholarship and album offer. The label was looking for new talent and hence they were visiting various colleges in the city for the same. Their quest for a new talent brought them to SPACE. Though SPACE was not a full time music college like many others in the city who provided degrees in music since in SPACE gave out Diplomas only, yet it surely was one of the most reputed college in the city. Students were ecstatic with the upcoming opportunity and decided to make the most of it. They prepared really hard for a week and delivered fantastic performances in front of the label owners. Post audition, the members of the label asked FAB5 to perform individually as well since earlier they performed together as a group. FAB5 gave individual performances and waited for the result. The results were to be announced a day later. The winners of this competition were to further compete with others at city level and the final winner was chosen based on that. It was the night after the auditions at SPACE came to an end. Manik and Nandini were sitting in a café

Manik – Oh Man...I am so excited for tomorrow

Nandini – I am happy for you Manik..I am sure you will make it..!!

Manik (side hugging Nandini) – So will you..!!

Nandini – Ya right..!!

Manik – What..!!..Why so surprised..?? You don't believe me...You are brilliant Nandini..!!

Nandini – I know I am..But not as good as you..You guys are a league apart..trust me..!!

Manik – Ok enough of praising each other, let's eat something now...!!

They shared a sandwich. Manik continued with the conversations sipping coffee while Nandini opted for a Ice tea. After spending sometime together, he dropped Nandini to her hostel before leaving for his home. Next day, the head of the academy, Mr. Vivek Nair called Manik and Nandini to his office. On reaching the office, they found him sitting with the owners of Music Connects (Mr. Reyaansh and Ms. Harshika). They greeted them and settled on the empty chairs. started,

Mr. Nair – Ok Manik and Nandini, I have a good news for both of you and I would request Reyaansh here to give it to you.

Reyaansh – Thank you Mr. Nair, Well let me begin by telling you that you guys are exceptional talents which we surely don't wish to miss out on. So Mr. Manik Malhotra and Ms. Nandini Murthy, you are winners so the Auditions held yesterday and have therefore been selected to represent SPACE academy in the finals.

Manik – Thank you so much sir...Wow that's such a great news... But Nair sir why have you called just the two of us, my friends, I mean FAB4 should also be informed about it right.
