Presley got us checked in and I couldn't stop bouncing in my seat.

"The stage looked even cooler like this," I said excitedly.

Presley took my hand. "Before the show starts, I need you to tell me if you're scared of anything."

I thought about it. "Thunder, spiders, and clowns."

Presley nodded. "OK, Max. When you feel scared by anything in the show, just squeeze my hand, OK? That way you won't feel uncomfortable."

I nodded. Just as I turned around, the show started!

I saw Sophia in a black costume and wig, and Alex in his awesome BeetleJuice costume! Kerry and Rob were this super nice couple, and Leslie was a funny life coach!

The show was super duper awesome! I loved it! After the show, I felt a bit tired, so I went to the bathroom to wash up. I told Presley I'd meet her at stage door.

I walked into the bathroom and found it empty. I washed my face and grinned in the mirror.

"This is so cool! I'm being taken care of by a Broadway cast!"

I danced around a bit since I was alone, and I was just drying my hands when I felt something slam the back of my head.

I fell to the ground, losing consciousness. The last thing I could think of was "Alex. Help."

Alex's POV:

Presley came out and met us at stage door, but Max wasn't with her. She said they wanted to wash up in the bathroom, and that he should be back by now.

I felt scared. What happened to them?

"We gotta find Max," I said, and we split up.

I ran backstage, but couldn't find them. If anything happened to them, I don't know what I'd do.

I raced into the bathroom, and found them! He was unconscious. I picked them up and noticed that they'd been hit in the back of his head.

I knew they could be in danger, so I called an ambulance. The rest of the cast helped me get them inside, and I climbed in.

"Come on, Maxie. You can fight this."

I took their hands and prayed they'd wake up.

"Come on, Max. Please wake up."
