Alan's POV

"Come on guys, I'll show you to my room," Mia says, leading her family upstairs. I walk into the kitchen and pour myself another cup of coffee.

Brycie comes in, and pats my shoulder. "You did the right thing. Mia's such a strong girl, you're really helping her, Alan," she says. I nod, "I know babe, I wish she would tell me more. I'd love to mentor her." Brycie nods, "Give her time, she'll open up."

"Thanks for inviting us over, man!" Josh exclaims, shaking my hand. I nod, "Anytime dude. Mia needs to still see you guys." He smiles, "Oh, and I was gonna talk about school." I sit down at the counter, "So you've made a decision?"

"This decision partly involves you and your band," he says. "We're up for anything!" I exclaim. "Good. Could you homeschool Mia? You can drive her to classes two days a week at the private school. I just feel like this would be better for her." I nod, "I'm up for it! The guys can pitch it, we can do this." He laughs, "We'll tell Mia tomorrow."

Mia's POV

"Mia, sweetheart, can we talk to you?" Josh asks. I nod, "Sure bro." He laughs, and leads me into the kitchen. I see my mom, Alan, and Brycie sitting at the counter.

I sit down next to Josh, and Alan begins talking. "Your parents, Brycie, and I made a decision about school," he says. I nod, "Awesome. What is it?"

"Homeschool," Josh says. "You'll go to the Christian school two days a week for a few hours, but for the most part, you'll be taught here," Mom says. I smile, "Sounds awesome! I can have class in my pajamas."

Brycie laughs, "Alan and I will try to teach you as much as we can." Alan nods, "Although, Caleb will wanna help with English." I laugh, "Yeah, that jumping bean would!"

Josh looks confused, "Jumping bean?" I nod, "Uh yeah. I have each of the guys nicknames." He shakes his head, "I don't think I wanna know." Alan laughs, "You don't, trust me."

I smile, "Josh, Mom, thanks for letting me stay with Alan and Brycie." Mom nods, "Whatever's best for you. We don't want you to feel bad about yourself." I hug my parents. Josh kisses the top of my head, "We love you loser."

I run over to Alan and Brycie and hug them too. "I love you guys so much!" I exclaim. I feel Alan's head resting on mine, "We love you too kiddo."

"We're here!" Caleb exclaims, dancing through the doorway. Chad smacks the back of his head, "Bro, there's company here." Joey shakes his head, "What're we gonna do with you kids?"

"Jumping Bean! JoJo! Wicked!" I exclaim, running towards them. "Hey girl," Joey says, as I jump onto him back.

Jaxon jogs into the kitchen, and sees me on Joey's back. "Mia, are you okay?" He asks. I hop off, and walk over to him, "Yeah I'm fine."

"Chad, Caleb, Joey, this is my brother Jaxon. Jaxon, meet my besties Chad, Caleb, and Joey," I introduce them. Tapping each guy on the head as I say their name. Jaxon smiles, and shakes their hands.

"Did you just call us your besties?" Chad asks. I nod, "Uh yes. You are my besties aren't you?" All three of them nod very quickly. "Yes we love you," Caleb says. I smirk, "Good you better."

Chad shakes his head, "I think there is something seriously wrong with you." Jaxon nods, "There has been for a while now!" Joey nods, and high fives him, "Mia! I love your brother!"

"Chad was playing pretend yesterday!" I exclaim, leaving them with that. I see Meghan in the living room. "Hey Megs!" I call. She smiles, "Hi Mia." I grin, "So lets watch Peter Pan!" She nods, as I pop it into the DVD player and it begins.

Alan's POV

"Oh hey guys! Can I talk to you in the kitchen?" I ask. My bandmates nod, and follow me into the kitchen.

"Wassup?" Joey asks, pulling stool out from underneath the counter. "I need you guys' help with something," I explain. Chad nods, "We're here bro. What is it?"

"Mia's parents want me to homeschool her. I feel like we could do it if we're all in this together," I say. "WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AND IT SHOWS WHEN WE STAND HAND IN HAND MAKE OUR DREAMS COME TRUE!" Mia sings from behind me. "Go away, Sing-Along Sue!" I exclaim. She shakes her head, "No way goofball."

"Yes way!" Chad exclaims, picking her up, and tossing her over his shoulder. "Hey! Put me down Chadwick!" She exclaims, but Chad stands his ground. Joey, Caleb, and I begin laughing.

"You will all pay!" She exclaims, pumping a fist above her head. "Is that like your catchphrase or something?" Caleb asks, as Chad sets her down. She brushes off her clothes, and nods, "Yes it is actually. I don't know why you wanna change it."

"Well somebody's the ultimate sass queen," I comment. Joey bows, "All hail her royal sassiness, Queen Mia!"

Mia curtsies, "Thank you my royal subjects!" Joey leans over and kisses her hand, "Your royal sassiness, may I have this dance?" Mia giggles and nods, "Yessir."

Mia begins dancing like a maniac. Joey can't contain his laughter, so he falls onto the floor in an uncontrollable pile of laughter.

"Bro, you alright?" Caleb asks. Chad laughs, and jerks Joey upwards, so he's standing again, "Don't lay down in the presence of the queen," he whispers.

I laugh, "Honestly I feel like I'm the only normal one here." Mia shakes her head, "Whatever goofball."
