TOGETHER AT LAST:

Renée's P.O.V:

We arrived at the camp's meeting point. Waiting there was 30 other people.

RENÉE: "So, I guess that this is the place."

ELIAS: "It sure is, look at these people. Over there is Adedayo Adebayo, he can sing songs in any language. Over there is Saanvi Patel, she's from a legacy of famous Bollywood actors. And is that... Rafaela Silva? She has risen from the Favelas of Rio de Janeiro to win singing contests all over the world! She was even a close candidate to win the Nobel peace prize."

RENÉE: "Hmm, There are a lot of elite talents here... I'm just pretty normal compared to them."

ELIAS: "You're far from normal, if you were selected for this contest then you're more than capable of winning it."

RENÉE: "Th-Thank you Elias."

ELIAS: "And over there is-"

CHARLIE & ASHLEY: "Renée!"

ELIAS: "I'm Elias. I have won the contest for junior european singers."

ASHLEY: "OOOOH So you're Elias! That's amazing! This is our best friend Renée! She's the daughter of the famous Nikki Roberts."

CHARLIE: "Don't forget us! I'm Charlie Swagmire-Franklin and this is Ashley Harrison! Our parents were part of Renée's mom's band!"

RENÉE: "GUYS THAT'S ENOUGH! Sorry to yell but I don't need you to introduce me..."
