Lemonade Mouth was officially a sensation.

The band was walking down the stairs in the school. Everyone was fangirling and fanboying over them. Ever since Halloween Bash, their career really took off. And they couldn't be any happier.

And five strangers were suddenly much much more. We were friends.

"Can I have your autograph?"

"Hey, would you listen to my demo?"

It was the next day and nobody has seen Olivia. Madison tried to reach her not once, but she never answered. The girl was worried for her friend, but tried not to think about it since she was stressed enough.

Madison decided she'd ask the others after school. They didn't hear anything from her either.

Mo, Charlie and Madison were outside now, talking about random things. Stella and Wen soon were seen walking out of school and stopping at the three.

"What's up, guys." greeted Wen. "Has anyone seen Olivia today?" he asked, making Madi worried even more. If Wen didn't know what happened, something is not right.

"I was gonna ask you the same. She hasn't shown up all day. She didn't answer my calls as well." said Madison.

So they decided they'd go to the most logical place where she could be. Her house. They walked up to the front door, Mo looking through the window for Olivia's grandma's approval.

She gladly let them in and told them where they'd find her. Her grandma even explained that her cat Nancy has sadly passed away and it was the only thing she had left of her mom.

When the band walked outside, they were met with a crying Olivia. It hurt Madi to see her like that. She really didn't deserve that.

"You okay?" asked Wen as she approached her. "You came." smiled the blonde. "We all did." Wen said, the others walking out too.

Everyone slowly settled down. Madison sat down in the grass, others following her actions. Wen sat next to Olivia though. "Look, I'm really sorry about Nancy."

"Yeah, me too."

Silence took over the band. Until Charlie decided to break it. "Hey. It's nice out here."

Olivia smiled as she looked up at the sky. "Yeah, umm. Sometimes I like to look up and see what shapes I can find. You know, in the clouds." she explained.

With that, Charlie laid down. The others did the same as they looked up at the sky, trying to see if they could find different shapes. Madi laid her head on Charlie's shoulder.

Madison looked up at him. "Is it okay?" "Yeah." he smiled.

The two looked up at the sky. "It's a giant old lady with a..." Charlie thought for a moment. "...a skirt and an umbrella." Madison let out a breathy laugh.

"See, there... There's a flower in a vase." Olivia pointed to the sky as she laid down.

"I see a hand." Mo exclaimed, pointing up. Wen laughed. "Nah, you're way off. It's a... it's an alien, pushing a baby carriage."

Madison furrowed her brows as she looked up at Wen. "And how is that not off? That's like the weirdest thing ever." she laughed with the others.

"All I see is a blob." Stella said as the laughter died down. "Sometimes I think I'm too stupid to be in my family. Like I'm just some big letdown. No wonder my mom ignores me."

"I wish my dad would ignore me." said Mo out of nowhere. "I'm never gonna live up to this idea he has of this perfect Indian daughter, you know?" she sighed.

Madi felt like this was the right time to tell them. She was scared, but why not? They deserve to know.

"Try living up to a perfect brother." scoffed Charlie. Wen let out a sigh before he spoke. "I'd take perfect brother anyday over my dad's ridiculous girlfriend."

"I'd rather have you dad's ridiculous girlfriend then my own mother. She wants me to be this perfect daughter. She wants me to be her. I don't know." she sighed. "Ever since my dad passed, she's been so annoying. Sometimes I feel like it's because of me." she finished.

She finally had it off of her chest.

Olivia groaned. "My dad's in prison."

Olivia covered her face with her hands in embarrassment. She then sat up, making everyone sit up too. "I've just... I'm to humiliated to talk to him, or about him and..."

"...you know he writes, but I don't write back. I don't know what to say. I mean, he's made some really bad decisions since my mom died and I still love him, but he's just- he's stranger now." she explained to her friends.

Mo hugged Olivia from the side. "Which is why I'm so glad to have this, you know. Our friendship." Olivia smiled. This actually made Madi so happy. The girl moved closer to Olivia and rubbed her back to try and comfort her.

Stella started playing a melody on her guitar.

Mo
I can't pretend to know how you feel
But know that I'm here
Know that I'm real

Wen
Say what you want
Or don't talk at all

Mo
Not gonna let you fall
Reach for my hand
'Cause it's held out for you
My shoulders are small
But you can cry on them too
Everything changes
But one thing is true
Understand
We'll always be more than a band

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Stella
You used to brave the world
All on your own
Now we won't let you go, go it alone

Charlie
Be who you wanna be
Always stand tall

Everyone
Not gonna let you fall
Reach for my hand
'Cause it's held out for you

The band was getting up from the table. Wen and Olivia started dancing together so Charlie, Mo and Madi thought it'd be fun to join the two.

My shoulders are strong
But you can cry on them too
Everything changes
But one thing is true
Understand
We'll always be more than a band

Olivia
I never knew
You could take me so far
I've always wanted the home that you are
The ones I need

Wen had jumped into the pool, while Mo sat on the edge of the pool soaking wet. The others were fighting in the back with pool noodles.

Everyone
Reach for my hand
'Cause it's held out for you

Mo pushed Charlie into the pool. Madison bursted out laughing and started cheering for the girl. "Yes, Mo! Woohoo!" not even a second later, Stella ran towards Mo and pushed her into the pool.

Madison started laughing even more. Her stomach was currently in the state of dying.

My shoulders are strong
But you can cry on them too

Madison thought it'd be a good idea to now push Stella in. So she sneaked up behind her and as Charlie and Mo were about to warn Stella, Madi already pushed her and Stella was flying into the pool.

"What was that for?" yelled Stella as she came back up for air. "It's called fun, Stella!" she laughed. Charlie swam to Stella and whispered something in her ear, which Madi obviously couldn't hear.

A smirk appeared on Stella's face as she swam towards Madison, who stood on the edge. Stella quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her in before she could run away.

When Madi appeared from the water, she was met with the sound of laughter. "I am murdering you, Stell." she said. "It was Charlie's idea!" laughed Stella as she pointed at the boy.

Madison sent Charlie a death glare. A smile still crept onto her face, 'cause she honestly thought it was hilarious. "You're so dead, Delgado." she laughed, swimming over to him.

She grabbed him before he could escape and smiled at him. "Any last words, Charlie?" "No." and with that, Madison pressed his head underwater, making the others laugh.

Everything changes
But one thing is true
Understand
We'll always be more than a band

Olivia was on a floatie, so of course the band saw the opportunity to mess with her. They quietly made the plan and swam over to her. They went underwater and pushed the floatie from under, making it flip together with Olivia.

Madison
Reach for my hand
'Cause it's held out for you
My shoulders are strong
But you can cry on them too
Everything changes
But one thing is true
Understand
We'll always be more than a band
