The next day Squid was quieter than usual. He was still remembering the nightmare from last night. Today all the acts had a day off.
"So, what do you guys want to do today?" Tom asked
"I don't know" Finnball said
"Hey how about we go give our friends a visit and surprise?" Ash suggested
"Let's do that" Stampy agreed.
Squid was quiet. He was in his own world but was also listening.
"You ok Squid?" Ash asked
"Huh, yeah I'm fine, just tired" Squid lied
"Ok well, we better get a move on then if we want to see them".
It took an hour and hour for them to arrive. Stampy had asked Netty to let everyone meet up at their place but not to say anything about them coming. Stampy then knocked on the door and Netty opened it.
"Good you guys are finally here, they are all in the lounge room but I will pretend no one was at the door" Netty said. The boys nodded and followed her. Netty went into the lounge room whilst the boys hid around the corner.
"Who was at the door Netty?" Nicole asked
"No one, just a couple kids that decided to knock and run"
"Woah woah woah, you call us no one" Ash said as they walked round the corner.
"No..."
"Guys what are you doing here?" Amy asked as she ran over and gave Stampy a Tom a hug and continued down the line.
"Oh we just decided to have a visit" Ash said
"Well tell us what's been happening?" Sqaishey asked.
Ash and Squid gulped, they did not want to let anyone know what happened.
Stampy, Tom and Finnball saw the looks on their faces.
"Um well... nothing too interesting, just performing and practicing, you know same old" Stampy lied
"Oh really, because what we saw on TV didn't look like much, remember how you guys explained Ash getting drugged and Squid getting stabbed? Well by the looks of their faces, there's more than that" Nicole said
"Ok ok, you caught us, there is way more to it than that" Ash said
Squid then cracked under pressure. "I... almost got shot and I got choked by Michael who is Jessabelle's brother and Ash I went to jail!"
"Squid why did you say we went to jail?"
"It came out ok, I'm sorry I'm just scared Ash, this has been too much"
"Wait hold on, back up. You two went to jail?" James asked
"Yeah but we were framed by Michael who put the drugs and gun in our room" Ash said
"Jeez, you two have been through a lot but mainly you Squid" Chache said
"Yep, I have almost died twice now and maybe third won't be so lucky" Squid said almost crying. Nicole gave her boyfriend a hug.
"It's ok, you're strong. Nothing will ever beat you, remember you've beaten death once before, you can do it again" Nicole reminded. This made Squid smile.
"Ok I will but enough of the bad news, did you guys see on TV how we made those entrances?" Squid asked
"Yeah they were awesome" Rosie said
"You were amazing how you repeated the moment of the dance off it was just wow" Snake said
"And also the one Ash and Squid did was really unexpected, we didn't know they were even in the show, we thought they were still in jail but they appeared, swinging on ropes like absolute bosses" Tom said
"Yeah, we made a late coming" Ash "But Squid planned both entrances, you should be choreographer".
"Ok, ok, enough, stop giving me praise which I totally appreciate but geez, guys made it happen" Squid said. Everyone laughed and by the time it was night time, the boys left to go back to X-Factor.
