THE NEXT MORNING AT
JEN'S DINER I slowly walks inside the diner. Jessy and I small waves at each other and I slowly walks up to her and slides into the booth table across from her.

"The small town shops have closed down. But my Mom is trying to keep them open. The thing is, I don't know how long, Violet." Jessy said to me, worriedly.

"Arrington has become a quiet town, Jessy. And I don't know what else to do."  I said to her, worried, myself.

Jessy smiles softly at me. "You're Violet Benton. I'm pretty sure you'll come up with something."

Jessy and I exchange small smiles at each other.

"I think I have an idea." I said to Jessy with a small smile. "And I think you're gonna like it."

Jessy smiles to herself, pondering about what I have up my sleeve.

FLEURY MONNE SPEAKEASY LOUNGE Ava, Jessy, Sonya and I are sitting at a round lounge table with our rum drinks.

"I say we do a little dance performance here at Fleury Monne." I suggested to Ava, Jessy, and Sonya. "And maybe, a little karaoke."

"Sounds good. I like it." Sonya said with a smile.

I look at Ava and smiles. "And, maybe, The Rocketeers can be here as well, once again. It's been five years, Ava."

Ava smiles. "I like it. It's a good idea, Violet."

"Thanks. So, this evening, Rocketeers." I said with a smile.

Ava, Sonya, Jessy and I clinks our drinking glasses of rum drinks and takes
swigs from our drinks.

WORKSHOP

I slowly walks into a small workshop and looks around at the empty shelves.

"Special Agent Violet Benton." Scarlett said, slowly walking out of the back room. "Am I in trouble? Or are you here to plant a buggy in one of my shelves?"

"Why would I plant a buggy in your one of your shelves?" I asked Scarlett.

"Oh, yeah. That's right. You're not a bad seed." Scarlett said. "So, what the hell are you doing here, Violet?" She asked me.

"What's with the workshop?" I asked her, folding my arms.

"It's not mine." Scarlett answered. "I'm keeping it for someone. Tidying it up a little bit."

"You were a boarding school student at the Cypress Boarding School and just like that, you disappeared." I said to Scarlett with a straight face, and slowly walks up to her, with itty bitty inches in between Me and Scarlett. "And five years now, here you are, having escaped from the Arrington Asylum Facility."

Scarlett slowly walks up to me and eyeing me with a straight face, with a small sly grin. "Yes, I disappeared, and here I am."

Scarlett and I exchange lingering intense looks at each other.

"I'll see you around, Violet." Scarlett said to me.

I slowly walks away from her, walking out of the small shop.

TAVERN BODGE LOCAL BAR AND LOUNGE CLUBHOUSE

That afternoon, Boni and I are taking a stroll around the local bar and lounge clubhouse.

"You and I haven't chitchatted in a while. You've been preoccupied, I know that." Boni said.

"Yeah. I have been. With The Scarecrow serial killer and everything else." I tell her. "But how are you?" I asked.

"I'm good. Trina Totty has been getting on my nerves as of lately. Trina and The Scullies." Boni said. "But I have your Cobra jacket in my bedroom for safekeeping."

"Yeah. After I graduated, I gave you back my Cobra jacket." I said to her.

"Yeah. You did." Boni said. "But with a Cobra jacket or not, you're still the Cobra Princess."

Boni and I exchange small smiles at each other. She gently wraps her arms around my shoulders; she and I exchange playfully smiles with each other, proceeding with our stroll.

FLEURY MONNE SPEAKEASY LOUNGE

That evening, the Benton Gang and our parents, and others, are sitting around at the round lounge tables and semi circle booth tables, enjoying their cocktail drinks and rum drinks.

I'm on the stage and speaks into the microphone. "Good evening everyone." drawing attention and I proceed. "This evening, I hope you guys enjoy a special little eye candy." I said with a smile.

I gently picks up the microphone stand and slowly moves it to side of the stage and gently sets it down; and walks back to the center of the stage, and pulls off my hoodie cape, revealing an outfit.

The neon lights turns on behind me, revealing THE ROCKETEERS in gray neon letters.

Ava, Sonya, and Jessy are wearing the same outfit I'm wearing and the four of us karaoke "Guys My Age" by Hey Violet.

🎵 I haven't seen my ex since we broke up, Probably 'cause he didn't wanna grow up, Now I'm out and wearing something low-cut, 'Bout to get attention from a grown up 🎵 I sang with my hands on my hips.

Then, Sonya sings. 🎵 'Cause you hold me like a woman, In a way I've never felt before, And it makes me wanna hold on
And it makes me wanna be all yours 🎵

Ava, Sonya, Jessy and I sang and dance together. 🎵 Guys my age don't know how to treat me, Don't know how to treat me, Don't know how to treat me, Guys my age don't know how to touch me, Don't know how to love me good, Guys my age don't know how to keep me, Don't know how to keep me, Don't know how to keep me, Guys my age don't know how to touch me, Don't know how to love me good 🎵

And as we karaoke-sing and dance together, the overhead lights turns purple and green. The Benton Gang and everyone dances to themselves.

🎵 All he ever wanted was to go down, What we supposed to do with all his friends around, yeah, Smoking weed, he'd never wanna leave the house, Got an empty cushion on that sofa now 🎵 Jessy sang.

🎵 Told him, "Good luck with the next one." Maybe she'll be just as immature, Gotta thank him, he's the reason, That I know now what I'm looking for 🎵 I sang, karaoke.

Ava, Sonya, Jessy and I sang and dance together again. 🎵 Guys my age don't know how to treat me, Don't know how to treat me, Don't know how to treat me, Guys my age don't know how to touch me, Don't know how to love me good, Guys my age don't know how to keep me, Don't know how to keep me, Don't know how to keep me, Guys my age don't know how to touch me, Don't know how to love me good 🎵

🎵 So I'm never going back, No, I'm never going back 🎵 Ava and I sang together.

🎵 Guys my age don't know how to treat me, Don't know how to please me, Don't know how to read me,
Guys my age don't know how to touch me, Don't know how to love me good.
Guys my age don't know how to tease me, Don't know how to leave me,
Don't know how to need me,
Guys my age don't know how to touch me, Don't know how to love me good. 🎵 Ava, Sonya, Jessy and I karaoke sang.

🎵 So I'm never going back, Don't know, don't know, don't know, No, I'm never going back, Don't know how to touch me
Don't know how to love me good
So I'm never going back, No, I'm never going back.🎵 Ava, Sonya, Jessy and I karaoke sang.

And we finish our karaoke-ing, and I playfully blow a kiss at Cherry, who playfully rolls her eyes and smiles a little.

Everyone applauds. Ava, Sonya, Jessy and I one-arm hugs each other.

And in the midst of the audience, Scarlett Sweeney is there with a smirk.

Afterward, the Benton Gang and I are sitting around at a round lounge table.

"Gosh, you guys were great." Boni said with a smile. "And I love the outfits by the way."

"Thanks, the outfits were Violet's idea." Ava said.

"The outfits are pretty cute." Aaron said with a smile.

My phone buzzes on the table and I picks it up and looks at it.

Scarlett Sweeney

"Excuse me, guys." I said, getting up, and slowly walks away, and answers my phone. "What do you want, Scarlett?"

"Splendid karaoke-ing, Violet. Hope you enjoyed your fun." Scarlett Sweeney said on the phone, and hangs up her phone.
