"Yeah because that's gonna help." Layla says
"I just don't think I had enough time to work on the song." Julie says
"I wouldn't have given you the song if I didn't think you were gonna rock it. Now, there's a piano on that stage with your name on it." Luke points
Julie takes a deep breath as she turns to Layla. She gives her an encouraging smile before the boys step aside to let Julie make her way to the stage.
"We look forward to our girls swim team defending our state championship. Go, Bobcats !" The principal says
The students cheer as they start to make their way off of the bleachers. Layla looks around nervously. "Come on, Jules."
Julie sits at the piano as she looks out toward the teens. She starts to play, but stops.
"You got this." Luke says
Julie takes a deep breath before she starts playing again. Janet and Flynn wait by the bleachers as they watch her.
"Sometimes I think I'm falling down
I wanna cry
I'm callin' out." Julie sings. The lights start to come on as students start to notice Julie on stage.
"For one more try
To feel alive
And when I feel lost and alone
I know that I can make it home
Fight through the dark
And find the spark
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."
Layla furrows her brows as Luke, Reggie, and Alex appear on stage. She looks to her left realizing that she was, in fact, not hallucinating. They were on stage with Julie.
"And rise through the night." Julie's eyes go wide as she notices the boys on stage. She chuckles as she takes the microphone and stands up performing with them.
"You and I
We will fight to shine together
Bright forever
And rise through the night
You and I
We will fight to shine together
Bright forever..."
Layla notices the boys are a little shocked that the students were cheering and dancing as they performed. Everyone could see them on stage.
"Who are they ?" Janet asked from beside Layla
"Remember what I said about the ghosts ?" Layla says looking up at her. Janet's eyes go wide as Layla smiles.
"In times that I doubted myself." Luke sings as the students cheer.
"I felt like I needed some help
Stuck in my head
With nothing left
I feel something around me now
So unclear, lifting me out
I found the ground
I'm marching on."
Reggie comes up beside Luke as they both sing into the microphone.
"Life is a risk, but we will take it
Close my eyes and jump
Together I think that we can make it
Come on, let's run."
Julie and Luke begin to sing together, "And rise through the night
You and I
We will fight to shine together
Bright forever
And rise through the night
You and I
We will fight to shine together
Bright forever."
Julie looks over as Luke start to sing into the microphone, "In times that I doubted myself."
Julie walks over holding her microphone out to him. He leans over to sing into it as they walk across the stage together.
"I felt like I needed some help
Stuck in my head
With nothing left."
"And when I feel lost and alone
I know that I can make it home
Fight through the dark." Julie sings. As she turns she walks through Luke who plays his guitar.
"And find the spark."
"And rise through the night
You and I
We will fight to shine together."
"Shine together."
"Bright forever."
"Bright forever."
"And rise through the night
You and I
We will fight to shine together
Bright forever."
As they finish, the students cheer. Julie seeming like she was on Cloud 9. Layla smiles as her cousin looks to her. The teens on stage bow and as they stand back up, the three boys disappear.
The students make noises of confusion as Julie turns around. She turns back realizing that the boys were gone. She looks to her cousin worried as Layla seems just as confused. Julie puts on an awkward smile as she stands there.
