Determinate was a hit! The video of the performance had over 500,000 views already and agencies and record labels were contacting Sunset Curve left and right. Sylvie felt like herself again as everything was how it should be. Her friends were back, her band was back, her boyfriend was back and her happiness was back.

No more pressure, no more guilt and most importantly, no more Orpheum Records.

"Alright, now that we've been through all of that, we need something new. Something to show everyone we're staying for good," Evan said after he handed out some canned sodas. "Sylvester, what do you have?" Sylvie flipped through her notebook as Sam looked from over her should, his arm comfortably around her. Her eyes landed on a page and took the words in.

"This one maybe? I started it a bit ago but it's not a lot.And rise through the night, you and I, We will fight to shine together, bright forever" She sang softly.

"Oh, I like that," Emmett smiled as he grabbed his guitar. "Maybe we could add something like this." He offered and started playing some cords. Sylvie took them in and nodded her head on the beat as she tried humming with it.

"Sometimes I think I'm falling down
I wanna cry, I'm calling out
For one more try to feel alive" She came up with.

"How about this, And when I feel lost and alone" Oliver sang as he joined Emmett on his base.

"Oh! I know that I can make it home" Sylvie added with excitement.

"Fight through the dark and find the spark" Sam finished.

"How did we just finish the first verse already?" Evan asked and they all laughed together. "I missed this." Evan smiled softly.

"I think we all did." Sylvie agreed as she wrote the words down of the verse they just came up with. Sam softly kissed her cheek and she sent him a small smile.

"Life is a risk, but I will take it
Close my eyes and jump
Together, I think that we can make it
Come on, let's run" Oliver sang out of nowhere and everyone looked at him wide eyed.

"Um, where did that come from?" Sylvie asked him shocked and happy.

"No idea but write it down. We need that song finished quick, I have booked us to perform in a Stoneybrook activity." He replied and Sylvie chuckled before doing just that as the rest cheered over the fact they would be performing again.

The band meeting ended and Sylvie and Sam waved the guys goodbye before setting off to Sam's house where Sylvie would be joining them for dinner. Sylvie sat in between Sam and Charlie and listened to Watson talk about where he wanted to take Liz on vacation.

"New Zealand!" Watson said with a large smile. "Did you know there are more sheep in New Zealand than people?"

"Like bikes in the Netherlands," Sylvie commented and Sam chuckled.

"Everyone knows that sheep fact," Kristy replied.

"Oh really? Does everybody know that?" Watson teased.

"Yes." The Thomas's replied.

"Did you also know that there is a certain breed of miniature New Zealand sheep that burrow holes in the sides of cliffs and that they were the inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien to create the hobbit holes?" Watson questioned and Sam and Kristy nodded. "Haha! No, you did now know that. You couldn't have known, because guess what? I made it up. It's not true."

"Sneaky. I like it." Sylvie chuckled.

"I still think it'd be a cool place to visit though, no? New Zealand? Come on." Watson said as Sylvie ate her food with one hand while holding Sam's hand with the other.
