"I told you we would win!" Maria squealed, hugging Max. "You shouldn't have been so worried!"

"Hey," Max laughed, hugging back, "at least I wasn't hyperventilating back stage!"

Then, together, as if it had just dawned on them, they yelled, "We won!" And hugged all over again.

"I'm so proud of you!" Tess suddenly yanked Max away, planting a huge kiss on his lips. No matter what he said, she still assumed that destiny would fix everything.

Maria rolled her eyes and sighed, ignoring the pang of jealousy in her heart. Max pushed her away quickly, anyway, and hugged his mother. Tess just kept smiling.

Amy hugged her daughter tightly and whispered how proud she was. "I don't want you to go, but I know how much you hate this place," Amy said softly. "This is a wonderful opportunity for you, and I love you."

"Way to go, sis," Kyle whispered as he hugged her.

"I'm not your sister!" She laughed through her tears of joy from her mother's short speech. "Not yet, anyway."

Next was Liz, and Alex, both who said nothing, just smiled. And then Max's family, Mrs. Mackenzie, and even Michael and Tess, and Max again. They held their trophy together as a photographer snapped a picture, and they smiled as they signed the touring contract. They would leave in two weeks.
