Her whole studio got first, sweeping the whole competition. Awards were then over as was the competition.

He went back down to the lobby to see her.

She made sure she had her things and wheeled her suitcase out into the lobby. She was walking with Keith and Amber.

Melody held Finn’s hand and followed her parents out of the theatre.

Jason walked over and hugged her tightly. "You did amazing. I'm so proud of you."

David held Finn's other hand.

Alexis smiled and hugged her dad. “thanks. Same thing again next weekend.” She giggled.

"You'll no doubt win again." He said.

Mike took her suitcase and replaced it with his hand.

She said goodbye to her friends. “Wanna go out for dinner all of us?” She asked.

Mike nodded. "That sounds good. Where do you want to go?" He asked.

“There’s a Outback Steakhouse downtown.” Kaya said.
“OooOoOos steak.” Melody groaned.

Jason nodded. "That sounds good. Want to go there?"

“Yeah let’s.” Alexis smiled.

"Okay. We'll all meet there." Jason said.

“I’ll ride with you.” Alexis told Mike.

"Okay." He nodded. "See you guys there." He walked out with Alexis.

Alexis waved to them and her medals jingled around her neck as she followed him out.

"How heavy are they?" Mike asked her.

“They’re not too bad.” She shrugged,

"Can you pull up the address for Outback?" They got to his car and he put her suitcase in the trunk.

She nodded and put her backpack in the backseat before getting in the passenger side.

He got in and started the car. "I finished unpacking."

“Oh good! So you can have that party now.” She teased.

He nodded. "More of a house-warming get together."

She nodded. “It’ll be fun.” She googled where the restaurant was.

"Yes it will." He started to drive.

She smiled and looked out the window.

"When do you want to stop by? I'd love to give you a tour." He said.

“Maybe after school Monday?” She suggestec

"Monday it is." He nodded. "I could also use your help decorating."

“Okay. Do you need to shop for pictures?” She asked

"No, it's mostly just arranging furniture and hanging photos. Stuff like that." He told her.

She nodded. “Okay.” She smiled

He pulled into the parking lot. "let's park Outback."

She nodded and grabbed her purse.

He parked and got out then opened her door for her.

She stepped out and took his hand.

"We can get the table and wait for your family." He said as they walked up. He opened the doors for her and walked in behind her.

She told the hostess how many and she led them to the table.

Mike sat next to Alexis and ordered a drink. A few minutes later Jason and Kaya arrived.

She smiled and waved at her parents.

Jason pulled Kaya's chair out for her then sat next to her, across from Alexis. "They don't make it easy to get here."

“How come?” Alexis asked.

"It's hard to find the entrance to the road and the entrance to the parking lot is weird." He told her.

“Yeah it’s a little odd.” Alexis agreed.

Melody came in with David and Finn.

Jason ordered his drink.

David set Finn in a high chair and sat down.

Melody murmured something to their security guard who went to go deal with the paparazzi outside.

“Ready to do the same thing next week?” Alexis teased them all.

"I've got nowhere better to be," Mike said.

"We love going," Jason told her.

“You guys have lived though.” Alexis said, “with Caroline going to that place next week and all.”

"We promised to record it for her," Jason said.

“Always/“ Alexis said

A waiter came over to get their drinks.

Mike showed Alexis some photos and videos he had taken.
