There are six weeks until the debut of the end-of-the-year show. So far everything has been going ok. Leon and Roxy are still together, Fede and Vilu are still together. Roxy and Vilu have been getting along, but they both know that they're not being totally sincere. Everyone knows the situation; Vilu and Roxy are getting along so Vilu and Leon can remain friends while Leon is dating Roxy. The girls has their choreography completed, the boys have perfected their new version of Foto de Verano. Roxy and Leon have their duet, Roxy has her solo, and Leon is in the middle of writing his solo. Not to mention everyone helped complete Leon's song for the group performance, Friends Til the End. Now Pablo is getting ready to announce some news.
"Alright kids, I've evaluated everyone's part for the show and I collaborated with the other music teachers and we've agreed to include one more song. It will be our finale piece to end the show, now we haven't assigned this to anyone in particular. We want this song to convey what the future holds for you." [Pablo]
"Pablo, I have a question." [Roxy]
"Yes Roxy." [Pablo]
"Do we have to write parts for everyone?" [Roxy]
"How about you focus on writing the song, then us teachers will go over the song and music to find everyone a part in the song." [Pablo]
- - - - (VIOLETTA'S POV) - - - -
"Girls we have to write the final song." [Cami]
"Cami do you know what it takes to write a song, the song I wrote for us took me practically all of winter break. We don't have two weeks to write a new song, plus practice our performance for the show." [Fran]
"Sure we do, besides Vilu knows how to write songs. It comes natural for her." [Cami]
"Thanks, but all my songs have inspiration behind them. I don't know what will happen next year and writing something about my future, it looks like a blank sheet music for me." [Vilu]
"I am sure we can come up with something. What usually inspires you Vilu?" [Cami]
"Simple. Leon..." [Fran]
"Francesca! That is not entirely true, Federico helped me in composing In My Own World." [Vilu]
"Well not for the other song you first wrote." [Fran]
"That's no longer my song." [Vilu]
"Yes it is. If only we have proof that Roxy's song is really yours." [Fran]
"What!?" [Maxi]
"Maxi...Broadway...Andres..." [Fran]
"What do you mean?" [Broadway]
"Are you saying that Roxy stole Violetta's song?" [Maxi]
"Yes." [Cami]
"The truth is that Underneath It All was originally written by Vilu. Camilla, Federico, and I heard it before Roxy performed it. Violetta had forgotten the music sheet in one of the private rooms. We would have told everyone the truth, but we didn't have evidence to prove otherwise." [Fran]
"So does Roxy really like Leon? Because she said that she composed that song and dedicated to him." [Maxi]
"I don't think so." [Fran]
"Me neither." [Cami]
"I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if she didn't, she took my song to say that it was hers to win Leon." [Vilu]
"I believe she did it on purpose to separate the two of you because she might have felt threaten by your relationship with Leon. Given that the two of you are close." [Cami]
"Were close. And it's no longer important, the show is coming up soon and everything will be over. I have Federico, my friends, and the showcase. There is nothing else that I need that would make me happy." [Vilu]
"What about the studio you were going to apply for next year?" [Fran]
"Ok maybe I lied." [Vilu]
"What studio?" [Broadway]
"Vilu's aunt says that there will be a studio opening up a few blocks away. Her aunt is going to get us a few applications and I am sure if you guys are interested she could get you applications too." [Fran]
"What a minute I am confused. What's a studio?" [Andres]
"It's a place to study music; singing classes, dance classes..." [Broadway]
"And classes of stage management." [Cami]
"Not to mention all the shows we could be performing in and in front of record labels." [Fran]
"Sorry for interrupting, but I hear that you guys are talking about a studio opening." [Pablo]
"Yes. Vilu's aunt told her about it and well the word just spread." [Fran]
"How does your aunt know about Studio On Beat?" [Pablo]
"My aunt knows the guy that is running it. He was able to get her a job as a singing teacher so she can move here to Buenos Aires." [Vilu]
"Do you mean Angie Sagginario?" [Pablo]
"Yes that's my aunt. How do you know her?" [Vilu]
"I was in her graduating class at Antonio's first studio in Spain. We were best of friends." [Pablo]
"What a small world." [Cami]
"Well we can talk about this later right now we need to get back to rehearsals...Guys, let's go over the group song: Friends till the End."

"That was very good guys, but I do have a few pointers. Andres and Nati work on the choreography a bit more, the two of you seemed most confused. Ludmilla stay at the spots we direct you to be at, Roxy is the lead and you are her understudy but as of right now you are an extra. Roxy and Leon you two were great, continue to have that connection. Fede, Francesca, Maxi, Camilla and Broadway you guys were also great, continue with the good work. Violetta I wasn't feeling the same energy like everyone else. What happened?" [Pablo]
"Sorry Pablo, I was not fully focused." [Violetta]
"Why don't you and I talk in private for a minute? Everyone take a break." [Pablo]
- - - - (FRANCESCA & CAMILLA'S POV) - - - -
"It's weird how Vilu was fine a minute ago and during rehearsals she shuts down." [Camilla]
"I have a feeling of what it might be." [Fede]
"Tell us!" [Fran]
"I'll give you a hint, it's someone whose name is also a name of an African cat." [Fede]
"The last time she talked about him she said that everything was back to normal." [Fran]
"What do you mean that everything is back to normal?" [Fede]
"She didn't tell you? Leon called her one night saying that he wants to be friends again, but he wants Roxy and her to try to be friends too." [Fran]
"It seems like she is having a hard time with that." [Camilla]
"Hey, what's going on with Vilu?" [Leon]
"It doesn't seem like she's being herself." [Roxy]
Francesca and Camilla are shocked by Roxy's reaction.
"She is still nervous about performing in front of a crowd." [Fede]
"I thought she overcame that." [Leon]
"She did, but she still gets nerves thinking about it." [Fede]
"I am sure she will be fine. Leon why don't we get water for everyone." [Roxy]
Leon and Roxy leave. In everyone's mind we all new that Roxy was trying to make an excuse for her to be with Leon alone. The rest of the gang sees Violetta walking out of Pablo's office.
- - - -(VIOLETTA'S POV) - - - -
"Pablo I am sorry about rehearsals, my mind was somewhere else..." [Vilu]
"Relax, I know the next time we rehearse you will perform better. That is not why I wanted to talk to you." [Pablo]
"Then what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?" [Vilu]
"You reminded me of myself when I was your age." [Pablo]
"How is that possible? You are an incredible teacher, I am nowhere like you. You are always confident about your ideas." [Vilu]
"Thank you, but I wasn't always this confident in myself. When I was studying music I was very nervous performing in front of people. I believe at one of my very first performances I ran off stage to throw up." [Pablo]
"Really?" [Vilu]
"Yes. It's ok to get nervous, but what my teacher taught me was that we have to break through those nerves. Instead of letting them control us, we control the nerves." [Pablo]
"I try to think about things that make me happy, breathing exercises, but nothing works." [Vilu]
"What helped me was always closing my eyes and singing through the first note. If you can manage that, then you can manage doing the rest of the act." [Pablo]
"I will certainly take your advice." [Vilu]
"Listen I know about your mother's passing. And I know right now that it maybe difficult singing or performing, but believe me when I tell you this. Your mom would want you to follow what makes you happy. Whenever you perform and shine on stage, she will be watching your every move and I am sure you will make her proud." [Pablo]
My eyes tear up.
"Thanks Pablo." [Vilu]
"If you need anything just come and tell me, ok." [Pablo]
I shake my head up and down.
"Now go relax before break is over." [Pablo]
I leave Pablo's office with a smile. As I did everyone was starring at me wondering what it that Pablo wanted to talk about.
"Is everything ok?" [Fede]
"It doesn't seem like it was anything bad, she is smiling." [Cami]
"Pablo understood that I was nervous. He gave me advice on how to calm my nerves and nothing more." [Violetta]
"Pablo is usually good about taking care of his students like that." [Fran]
"Now that everyone is feeling good, Violetta I want you to try something with me. Come." [Maxi]
We all move to the sound booth and Maxi plugs in his laptop to one of the speakers.
"I did an arrangement and Fran was telling me that you wrote another verse to Underneath It All. I want to hear how it all sounds." [Maxi]
"I am not sure Maxi." [Vilu]
"What do you have to be afraid of?" [Cami]
"We all know that you are the original song writer. Besides it's only us who are listening." [Fran]
"Come on honey. Sing for us." [Fede]
Maxi presses play to his track.
🎶 No~one knows what it's like behind these eyes, Behind this mask
I wish we can rewind and turn back time, to correct the past
Oh Baby I wish I could tell you
How I feel, but I can't 'cause I'm scared to
Oh boy, I wish I could say ~ That
Underneath it all ~ I'm still the one you love
Still the one your dreaming of, Underneath it all
I'm missing you so much, Baby, let's not give it up
Now I'm lost in my mind don't want to hide, that I can't escape
I, I wanna new start 'cuz your my true heart, no more masquerades
Oh Baby, I wish I could tell you
How I feel, but I can't 'cause I'm scared to
Oh boy, I wish I could say ~ That
Underneath it all ~ I'm still the one you love
Still the one your dreaming of, Underneath it all
I'm missing you so much, Baby, let's not give it up
I don't wanna give this up, So I'm putting on a show
'Cause what we have is true and I don't want to let it go
I know that you feel the love, Even if you can't see
I know one day you will discover, Underneath it's me ~ Oh, Oh
Oh Baby I wish I could tell you
How I feel, but I can't 'cause I'm scared to
Oh boy, I wish I could say ~ That
Underneath it all ~ I'm still the one you love
Still the one your dreaming of, Underneath it all
I'm missing you so much, Baby, let's not give it up
Underneath it all ~ I'm still the one you love
Still the one your dreaming of, Underneath it all
I'm missing you so much, Baby, let's not give it up
Let's not give it up, Oooh~Oh 🎶
Everyone applauses, and when I turn around I see three people that I didn't want to hear me...
1) Pablo
2) Roxy
3) Leon.
