Mostly, I wanted you to know that I've been working on a sequel. It was supposed to be a Charlie story, but I just can't get enough of Stella and Ray! So, there's a bit of them, too.

I don't own Lemonade Mouth.

Chapter 23 (Epilogue)

While Charlie was talking to his fans, Olivia and Wen started to take down his drum kit.

"Crazy night, huh?" said Wen.

Olivia replied, "No kidding! Ray and Stella? I mean, I guess I saw it coming, but still…and did we really just agree to let him manage us?"

"I believe so. But he did do us a huge favor tonight, and my dad was pretty relieved to have someone who knows how to deal with the venue-owner-type of person step in."

"True…" said Olivia, still a bit hesitant, "but I still don't know if Ray has really changed, you know?"

"Yeah, but there's only one way to find out." Olivia nodded, and they continued to work at taking the pieces down and packing them. Scott's mom had leant them her van for the night, which helped immensely. With local shows, it was just easier to transport everything themselves, rather than go about hiring a crew to do it. It also made it faster to just get home afterward.

"All right, I think that's the last of it," said Olivia. She looked over at Charlie. "Isn't it amazing how at ease he looks? Who would have thought it, right?"

"Who wouldn't be at ease when surrounded by girls who adore you!" Wen replied. Olivia raised an eyebrow at him. His only defense was to envelope her in a hug before she got violent.

"Urgh!" she said from behind his sleeve. "No fair, you rat fink!"

"I use the weapons I have in my arsenal."

Olivia looked over Wen's arm and at Charlie again. "Well, I hope Charlie finds his happiness. He deserves something, or someone, wonderful, especially since the whole…Mo…situation…didn't work out for him."

"What are you talking about?" said Wen.

"You're a terrible liar, Gifford. It's obvious to everyone human that Charlie is fighting hard to get over her."

"Throw a few more adoring beauties at him, and he'll be soon all, 'Mo who?'" concluded Wen.

"We'll see…" said Olivia.

Once the van was all packed, Mo volunteered to go get Charlie. "I'd better go rescue him from the throngs!" she said.

"I don't think he needs it." said Wen quietly. This time, Olivia did smack him. Scott laughed, but he was also a touch curious as to why Mo had such an interest in Charlie's fans….

This story continues in the sequel, "More Than a Fan Girl". In it, Stella and Ray figure their way out as a couple (because they're so freakin' fun to write!), we see if Ray's changes actually stick, and Charlie finds his way to love. But why is Mo so concerned about it? This will challenge Mo-and-Scott. But at the end of the day, everyone's mutual passion for making great music carries them through it all!
