a knock was heard on the garage door, putting smiles on both julie and stasie's faces.

julie leapt up and went to open the door, "thanks for coming." she chuckled, "we just wanted to rehearse the song so it was perfect, which it's not, but whatever."

"no, if i'm gonna hear a song from your imaginary ghost band, i want it to be perfect." flynn announced, "so, get back in there. all of you." she began pointing around the room, "you too."

julie shook her head and laughed, "they're not out here."

"oh, i know." flynn stepped into the room, allowing julie to close it behind her, "stas? you've been hiding the cute boys too?"

"well i haven't really been hiding them." stasie shrugged, she didn't reallly know what to say. "i've just... you know." and surprisingly, flynn somewhat did.

"all right, guys. you ready?" julie questioned, "uh, actually, can you go over there? reggie needs some space to rock out, and he feels kinda weird walking through you."

flynn burst out laughing, "boy, when you create a world, you really live in it." she grinned, "stas, don't tell me you believe this?"

"oh, you're in for a treat." stasie smiled while patting the chair beside her.

"just sit!" julie ordered while pushing flynn down beside stasie.

"oh!"

"if you'll notice, there's no equipment that will produce a hologram." julie pointed out, "feel free to look around."

flynn converted her attention to stasie for verification and she approved.

"none at all." she whispered.

"the guys took a poem that i wrote about you two and put it to music." julie explained.

"aww! i wish i didn't have to talk to your dad after this." flynn frowned.

"let's not ignore the fact that julie wrote a freaking poem about us!" stasie nudged her.

"it's called 'flying solo'." julie informed them with a light chuckle, "hope you like it."

the duo watched as julie made her way over to the synthesiser and began tapping some beats, leaving it to repeat.

"♪ if i leave you on a bad note - leave you on a sad note, guess that means i'm buying lunch that day ♪" julie began singing.

"that line's about you." flynn whispered to the girl.

stasie laughed at that, a wide smile on her face as julie sang about them. she couldn't help but notice the radiance and enthusiasm on julie's appearance as she sang. that made the jackson girl grin wider, glad her best friend was learning to love music again.

♪ when i look at you'se, it's like i'm looking at me ♪

after julie had sung that line, the three boys appeared with their instruments in hand, causing flynn to yelp out and shift back but stasie to begin clapping. the frightened girl quickly took her friend's hand, making her laugh.

♪ my life, my life would be real low - zero, flying solo ♪

"oh-oh-oh ♪" the guys added on, harmonising with her.

♪ my life, my life would be real low - zero, flying solo without you ♪

♪ oh-oh-oh ♪

♪ hey! ♪

julie stood up from her seat on the keyboard and ushered stasie to get up. flynn turned to the girl and gave her a warning glance but the girl shrugged and stood up either way.

♪ yeah, yeah ♪

♪ hey! yeah, yeah ♪

♪ my life, my life would be real low - zero, flying solo ♪

after the molina girl had spun the girl around, she nudged her over to the keyboard and silently told her to play.

"one-time thing," she told the girl, making julie grin. stasie sighed before sitting down, reading the chords and attempting to catch up on the melody with them.

♪ oh-oh-oh ♪

there was a small pause in the song where julie went over to flynn, crouched down in front of her and chuckled.

"♪ yeah, you know who i'm liking way before i like them ♪" julie sang before turning to the girl sat at the keyboard.

"♪ duh, cause she likes them first♪" she finished while smiling at flynn, ending in her laughing.

"♪ and if somebody hurts you we're gonna get hurt too ♪" julie chanted, "♪ that's just how we work yeah, that's just how we work ♪"

♪ it will never change ♪

reggie walked over to stasie and gave her a sweet smile. thankfully, the girl had no chance to splutter out an unnecessary statement as julie had already begun the next line:

♪ when i look at you'se, it's like i'm looking at me ♪

stasie shifted over the microphone to the side, allowing the two of them to use it at a corresponding time.

♪ my life, my life would be real low - zero, flying solo ♪

julie took the girl over to the back couch, where luke was perched, strumming his guitar and singing into his microphone. flynn had hesistated to move closer to him, before julie forced her forward.

♪ my life, my life would be real low - zero, flying solo without you ♪

♪ hey! yeah, yeah ♪

flynn couldn't help but shrink back when the boy shouted, initiating the two girls' laughter. next, the duo relocated over to alex playing the drums and flynn couldn't help but dance a little.

♪ my life, my life would be real low - zero, flying solo without you ♪

the two then made their way over to reggie and stasie, julie quickly giving the jackson girl a high five. however, flynn moved her hand through reggie's shoulder, producing a whoosh noise.

"weird, right?" reggie challenged, a laugh following.

"they're ghosts!" julie exclaimed.

"oh, we prefer, uh, musician spirits." alex corrected her.

"julie... so does this mean you're joining our band?" luke questioned.

"um... actually, i think you're joining her band." flynn told him.

julie rested her arm on the girl's shoulder, "i'm gonna go with what she said."

"triple trouble lives again!" stasie squealed.

"i thought you weren't a fan of that name." flynn crossed her arms.

"oh, i'm not."

alex snickered before beginning to play the drums.

♪ my life, my life would be real low - zero, flying solo ♪

"oh-oh-oh ♪"

♪ my life, my life would be real low - zero, flying solo without you ♪

"i think you can take a break and dance with us." flynn took stasie's hands and pulled her from the keyboard's chair.

♪ hey! yeah, yeah ♪

"okay, boss." stasie joked before bouncing around with her.

♪ my life, my life would be real low - zero, flying solo ♪

"oh-oh-oh ♪" the guys added on.

♪ my life, my life would be real low - zero, flying solo without you, you ♪

"still wanna talk to my dad?" julie interrogated flynn once the song was completed.

"no, i'm good." flynn shook her head.

julie giggled before pulling her girls into a three-way hug.

─── ∙ ~εïз~ ∙ ───

as julie and flynn went outside to discuss the performance, stasie was left in the studio with the three musical spirits.

"whatcha doin'?" luke questioned her as he leaned on the piano, watching her.

"i am working on something for next music class." she explained as she started at a piece of paper with chords and lyrics, "it's a bit scratchy, but it'll do."

"play it for us!" reggie suggested.

"everyone needs some constructive criticism." alex joked.

"thank you, alexander." she shook her head.

"who told you that was my name?"

"i just guessed." stasie shrugged as she gently positioned her hands over the piano keys. she glanced up reluctantly to see all three boys intently gazing at her. stasie shook her head and rose to her feet, "you know what, forget it - it's not started anyways."

"we could always help you." reggie offered her.

"yeah, you've got three musical spirits as friends, you might as well use us." alex told her.

she giggled and shook her head, "no, no it's fine." the girl leaned and quickly seized her papers, "so... what do you guys do for fun here?"

"i nap, a lot." reggie confessed.

"write more songs." luke told her.

"play the drums." alex shrugged.

"and you never get bored?" stasie quizzed.

"nothing else to do." alex reminded her.

"right, sorry."

"wait stas." luke spoke, thinking back to their concert for flynn. stasie had begun to play the keyboard mid-performance, catching up immediately. and she was singing the harmonies, which luke had noticed. "you shredded it on the keyboard and you've got vocals to die for." luke pointed out.

"oh? t-thank you." she nodded in appreciation.

"would you like to join the band too?" alex inquired.

"you mean, would i like to join julie's band that she let you in?" stasie corrected him.

"yeah, that's what he meant." reggie agreed.

"then, no thanks." she shook her head, "but thanks for the offer, means a lot."

"well, why not?" luke hummed.

"i prefer doing things behind the scenes." stasie revealed.

"but you're amazing?"

"okay, i just don't like performing in front of big crowds." stasie confessed, "playing in front of my music class is my maximum."

"well, just don't waste that talent of yours, anastasia jackson."

"i won't."

⎯ ❃ neens speaks!
