Chapter 1: Girls at Dalton Academy.
Sebastian loves his sister. He really does, but he don't think bringing her to an all boys' school is the best idea.
Sebastian was at Dalton early Saturday morning. The Warblers were getting ready for a charity event and they were having some last minute rehearsals and choreography. Sebastian woke up to the sound of his phone ringing.
Thad groaned from the other side of the room.
"Who the hell calls at this early in the morning?" Thad asked groggily looking at the clock between us.
"I don't know." he groaned with a yawn looking at his phone it was his dad calling.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Bas. Are you coming home today? I need a huge favor."
"I can't. We have some last minute rehearsals." Sebastian said becoming a bit more coherent. "What's the problem?"
"I'm being called into the office. But I was called to go to the office in New York. My flight is in four hours and I need to be in the airport soon. And your mom's flight was delayed."
"So no one's at home with Stacy?"
"Yes." His dad said. "I tried calling for a babysitter. But no one was available at last minute."
He sat up and after a groan, started to get changed. "I have stuff to do here. But I think I can have her here for a while. I can ask the office if I can bring Stacy along."
"Okay, Thank you so much Sebastian."
Sebastian hung up the phone call and started to get changed.
"Picking up your sister?" Thad asked barely opening his eyes.
"Yeah." Sebastian said. "Stacy's allowed to stay here for the weekend right. Incase need."
"I'm not sure." Thad said. "But if all else fails I think they can allow you and Stacy to sleep here if I sleep at David's. I doubt they'd allow two teenage boy rooming with a seven year old girl."
"You don't have to…"
"David's got an extra bed in his room." Thad pointed out. "It'd be fine."

He drove home that morning. And when he went into the house, he found Stacy and dad at the kitchen eating breakfast.
"Hi, Bazzy! What are you doing here? I thought you had something at school."
"Well, I heard that it was okay for me to bring my little sister into Dalton for the weekend." Sebastian said sitting down beside her on the table after getting a plate himself. "And you don't have anything important to do so I thought, why don't you come with me."
"Really?" she asked
"If it's okay with dad that is."
Stacy looked over at dad who was sipping his coffee.
"Can I, daddy?"
Dad gave a thinking look and gave her a small smile. "Of course you can. As long as you promise not to make sure you stay with Sebastian."
"What about Thad?"
"Fine, Sebastian or Thad."
"How about…."
"Just make sure that Sebastian knows where you are okay?"
"Okay." She said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Stace. This is going to be fun."
After packing a small bag of clothes, they left the house to go to Dalton just as their dad was on his way to the airport. Sebastian held Stacy's hand while we walked the hallways of Dalton Academy.
"So what are we going to do today?" Stacy asked.
"Well, I have rehearsal." Sebastian said. "And Lacrosse. After that I can give you a tour around the campus."
"Okay." She said. "How is Thad? He is your best friend right? It's nice that you now have a best friend that's a boy too. Even if he likes boys."
"Wait you know that Thad is gay?"
"Jamie asked Jasmine why Thad doesn't have a girlfriend. And she said that Thad doesn't like girls that way. He likes boys. Jamie thinks it's weird. But Thad's still the same guy that played with us while Jasmine and Wes did their own thing. So I think it's okay."
Sebastian really didn't know how to respond to that. He really don't think there are seven year olds that are homophobic. But that some of them know what gay actually means…well that's new.
They reached the Choir room where the Warblers were spread around the room either warming up or just chatting and waiting for Sebastian.
"Sorry I'm late, guys." Sebastian said. "I picked up our little visitor for today."
"Hi Stacy." Thad greeted with a smile picking up Stacy and resting her on his hip. "I hear that you're going to be hanging with us Warblers for the weekend."
"Yep." She said with a big smile. "So what are you guys up to?"
"We're practicing for a charity event." Nick said.
"That's cool." She said. "Is it okay if I watch."
"Sure."
Thad let her down and she found a seat in one of the couches. She sat between Clark and Trent who scooted over for her to have a space between them.
"She is way too cute to be your sister." Jeff commented. And Sebastian slapped him behind the head.
"I could say the same to you, Jeffrey."
"Touchy." He teased while rubbing the back of his head.
"Okay, everyone. Let's start our rehearsal."
~()~
Half way through the rehearsals did Sebastian remember that the Crawford girls were coming over to help with the Charity event. While Sebastian was going through another run through with the Warblers, a group of Crawford girls were standing by the doorway.
"Bazzy, you guys have visitors." Stacy said right after they finished with their run through.
Sebastian turned and noticed a group of Crawford girls at the doorway. Sebastian cursed under his breath remembering that the girls from Crawford's Theater group(their partners in this charity event) were coming over to plan for the charity event. (Which even Sebastian has yet to find out what is it about)
"Everyone take five." Sebastian said. Thad stepped beside Sebastian.
"Did you remember that today was the meeting?" Thad whispered inconspicuously while being shielded by the Warblers headed towards the couches as the girls mingled and one of the girls headed towards the two.
"Slipped my mind." Sebastian whispered back giving the girl who came over a smile. "Diana, good to see you again."
Diana had dyed vibrant red hair and these startling green eyes. She looked at the two Warbler council members, since David had to head home for the weekend due to a family matter, with crossed arms and a knowing look. "Sebastian, Thaddeus. Forget that today was our little get together again to discuss the charity event."
"Of course not." Thad stammered under her gaze, which caused Sebastian to shake his head.
"We were just waiting for your arrival, my dear." Sebastian said smoothly with a winning smile. "Even with you lovely ladies coming over, we Warblers do have to keep our A-game with our upcoming performances. Especially with this charity event."
"Of course." She said seeing right through Sebastian's con. "So, are you boys ready?"
"After you." Sebastian said motioning her to the rest of the Warblers and her teammates who were scattered around the common room.
Some of the other girls had taken interest in Stacy. Who now sat between two Crawford girls but was being watched by Nick and Jeff. The girls were talking with Stacy who seemed to be enjoying herself.
"Alright ladies."
"And gents." Sebastian interjected.
"And gentlemen." She said forcefully. "The charity event is next week. We have yet to complete the program we are going to present them with."
"What is the Charity event anyways?" Jeff asked. "You girls have yet to give us any more information other than the fact we have to perform."
Diana looked exasperatedly at Sebastian and Thad. Who gave her a look.
"This is on you, sweetheart." Sebastian said. "I don't even know you. The Dean said to ask you and you have yet to give me a concrete answer."
"It's for an orphanage." Diana said offhandly. Then took a stack of papers out of her handbag and started to distribute them. "Now I've already created a schedule for everyone."
"Wait, you just can't jump that on us. Then expect us to follow your lead." Nick said. "Where's the democracy. Don't we have a say in this matter. It is a collaborative work."
"I am the Head of the Crawford Theater Guild. And the head of this little activity of ours."
"Actually, you are at Dalton. Which makes your argument void." Clark said. "Here at Dalton, and in the Warblers especially, we follow a democratic rule. Which is headed by the Council."
"Well, seeing as you boys wouldn't want to help."
"Who said we wouldn't." Thad said. "We have yet to say a word into this subject. Neither the Warblers nor the council has yet to have a say into this collaboration."
"It is a charity for little children." Diana stated. "How would a bunch of boys have any idea on how to handle that."
"Maybe if you gave them a chance. Maybe you'd know." Stacy said crossing her arms causing most of the room to look at her. She gave a glare at Diana who was surprised and slightly angered at the little girl who argued against her.
"And who are you?"
"She's my little sister, Stacy." Sebastian said
"Then look here, Stacy." she said in a condescending tone. "I don't know why you are here. But this is none of your concern, you are too young to understand."
"That is uncalled for." Sebastian said looking at the girl with a glare. "She was just voicing out her opinion."
"Which is useless in this situation." Diana said going head in head with Sebastian. Thad stepped back as he could tell that Sebastian was about to snap at this girl.
"I don't know who do you think you are." Sebastian said crossing his arms. "But here in Dalton, and in this specific room, I am one of the heads. And you are merely a visitor. We have rules."
"As do we."
"Which do not apply seeing as you are in our territory."
"What are we a pack of animals?" she demanded. "Relying on territorial rules and policies?"
"It would be best if you show a little respect." Sebastian said. "The Warblers and I have been nothing but hospitable to you and your team. We invite you courteously into our common room and we treat you with nothing but respect."
Sebastian motioned to all the Warblers offering their seats to the Crawford girls and keeping a distance comfortable to the other girls who were uncomfortable around the guys.
"You have net to give me a reason to show you respect."
"Neither have we don't anything that would allow you to treat us like underdogs." Sebastian argued.
"We either do this our way, or you are on your own on this." Diana said crossing her arms. "What's it going to be?"
"I believe this calls for a vote." Thad said taking out the gavel from the drawer of the council table. "Those in favor of remaking the program to the comfort of all parties please raise your hand."
All the Warblers, and Stacy, raised their hands. And to Sebastian's surprise so did a handful or so Crawford Girls.
"All those in favor of creating separate programs for the groups."
No one raised their hands.
"All those in favor of withdrawing from this collaboration." Diana said strongly and glaring at her teammates. Who were reluctantly raising their hands.
"Then it's official." She said. "We are leaving."
She then stormed out of the choir room and was silently followed by the rest of the girls.
"What just happened?" Stacy asked.
"I don't know." Trent said. Sitting beside her. And she scooted closer to him so that Thad and Clark can squeeze into the couch
"What now?" Thad asked. "Seeing as the Crawford girls don't want to cooperate, we are either on our own, or we're going to get crucified for this."
"Well, if they do not want to work with us." Sebastian said. "We'll make our own little program. We are not going to let those little kids down.
~()~
The Warblers then went to work and Stacy was enjoying her time at Dalton. While Sebastian was going around the choir room as he and Thad started to brain storm and assign everyone to their respective jobs, she stayed with Nick and Jeff who were both teaching her how to play the guitar as they rehearsed for their new setlist.
"How's the set list going on, Jeff." Thad asked.
"So far so good." Jeff said from behind his computer screen with half his headset plugged into his ear. The other ear was in Stacy's. "There are more child friendly songs than we all thought I mean seriously I am loving this. How many numbers do we need?"
"Just prepare at least five. Incase we have spare time."
"Sure." Jeff said "Stacy and I got this. Right Stace?"
"Right, Jeff." She said with a smile.
Sebastian was working with Clark on the program.
"Then we can add some games with the little kids." Sebastian said "And maybe a buddy system."
"Do we have enough members?" Clark asked.
"I'm not too sure."
"Did you and Thad mention to the Office of Performing Arts about the situation?"
"Yes, they were not so surprised." Sebastian said. "They were able to get the information that we need from Crawford."
"Why do I fell a 'but' coming."
"But they were going to send one of the girls to come give it."
A Crawford girl was standing at the doorway. She had tied back blonde hair and a kind expression unlike the one Diana had when she entered the Choir room. The boys all looked at her warily while Sebastian went to greet the girl.
"Welcome back."
"Thank you" she said. "You're Sebastian, right?"
"I am."
"I am supposed to give this to you." She said handing him an envelope from her messenger bag. "The details for the Charity event."
"Thank you." Sebastian said. She nodded and was headed out the room.
"For the record." She said turning towards the Warblers. "Not all of us Crawford girls are like Diana, nor do we actually agree with her."
"Then why did you?" Thad asked.
"To avoid Drama." She said. "A large group of girls together twenty four seven causes a lot of drama. Even on the littlest things."
"Hi Mary!" Stacy exclaimed from her place beside Jeff. "Are you here to help?"
"We'd like to know as well." Thad said
Mary shrugged. "If you'd have me."
"Seb?" They all looked at Sebastian for the final decision. Even Thad who was unsure of his own decision.
Sebastian looked around, and he looked at Stacy. who had a smile on her face. She trusted Mary.
"Well then," Sebastian said. "I guess we need all the help we can get."
Mary sighed in relief.
"Don't worry, we've got this covered." She snapped her fingers and half a dozen other girls came into the room. "Tell us what to do."
Sebastian and Thad looked at each other.
"It seems that we've got a whole team."
~()~
Stacy stayed over at Sebastian's and Thad's room while Thad stayed at David's.
"So how did you enjoy your day at Dalton?" Sebastian asked as he put a new sheet over his bed for Stacy. She was already changed and had finished brushing her teeth.
"It was cool." She said. "You have really cool friends. I like Jeff and Nick they're a really good team."
"That's what makes them special, I guess." Sebastian said "Now get in here."
Stacy got on his bed and Sebastian tucked her in.
"Thanks for today, Barry."
"Your Welcome." Sebastian said. "What exactly am I being thanked for?"
"For letting me stay with you here instead of at home." Stacy said. "And don't worry. You guys are going to do great at your Event."
"And how do you know that."
"Because it's a lot like babysitting." Stacy said slowly drifting to sleep. "And you guys are fun. Night Barry."
"Night, Stacy."
