"Carrie, I don't appreciate you calling her slutty, and I don't appreciate you trying to rip off my arm either." Lenny said back. At his comment Carrie stopped trying to physically pull him away. That was when Corey decided to speak.

"I have to side with Carrie, Lanes. We have to practice for the battle and it's time for you to choose. Lenny or me."

"Corey, I can't just leave him after I said yes. You use to be the one I wished I could hold hands with, but now Lenny's the one I want the most." Laney answered sadly. It was so much more simpler when everyone just hated each other easily.

I can't believe you would do this to your friends Lenny," Carrie said with her arms crossed, "Corey, try harder to persuade your bassist. We need to stay as rivals, there's no other choice."

Corey hesitated a moment. His face hardened and faced Carrie. "Who said there was no other choice Carrie? I'm tired of trying to hang on to the belief that we have to be enemies. Lenny and Lanes already proved there was a way to be friends, I also have to admit that they look pretty good together too. I can't believe I let you talk me into separating them." With a disgusted look he walked over to Laney and laid a protective arm over her.

"Well that settles it!" Kin and Kon said happily. They ran over to Lenny and playfully socked him on the shoulder. "Glad to have you as a buddy at last Lenny!" Kon said.

"Ugh, you guys areas annoying as ever. At least I still have most of my band with me." Carrie pointed to two uneasy Kim and Konnie. "If you guys forfeit that means the Newmans won this battle. Have fun hanging out with the losers Lenny." she sneered.

"We didn't Carrie, you are the one that lost without knowing it." Lenny said confidently. "I have more friends now and I'm very sure Kim and Konnie still support me. In your case, are you sure they still want to be your friend after what you did to them yesterday?" His comment made the two girls in question squirm.

"Girls?" Carrie looked suspiciously at them.

"It's not that we don't want to be your friend…" Kim started.

"It's just that….after you screamed at us for playing a wrong note…" Konnie began.

"And destroyed our instruments in the process…" Kim added.

"Our idea of you has changed a bit…" Konnie finished awkwardly.

Carrie looked slightly crestfallen. "I'm…I'm so sorry about that girls. At that time I was in a bad mood because of the City Hall incident. We all know that the only reason Grojband got the gig to City Hall was because I angered the mayor…." She rubbed her arm uneasily. "I hope you guys can forgive me."

At Carrie's apology both girls hugged her. "Of course we forgive you!" they said. "Does that mean you guys are on my side?" Carrie asked them hopefully.

"About that Carrie, as much as I love you, I would like to be friends with our rivals too." Konnie said.

"We spent most of the day hanging out with Kin and Kon so we're already friends!" Kim added. They walked over to where everyone else was standing. Carrie was crestfallen.

Laney felt a little sorry for her so she broke away from the group. "Carrie, it's sort of lonely on that side, why don't you come join this one? Everyone's there." she said as she held out a hand to Carrie. Carrie was startled for moment but took her hand gratefully. When she joined the group everyone cheered.

"Hey, we still have a few more hours before we have to leave. Let's enjoy this water park while it lasts!" Corey suggested excitedly. Everyone cheered their agreement.

One more chapter and this whole series is done. I hope you guys have enjoyed it to this point.
