Smoke fills the stage the minute Rum & Coke are announced. Everyone is already on the edge of their seats. It's a known fact that when Rum & Coke come on stage, they never fail to put on one hell of a show. It doesn't help that for the last year Rum & Coke have barely even been seen in the same room as each other, making the anticipation for this performance that much realer. No one seems to be on stage right now but that doesn't stop the fans from cheering.

All of a sudden, the sounds of Vicar of Bray begins to seep through the speakers and fans automatically recognize the music, getting even louder. Amidst the synths from outerspace, Coke's heavenly LIVE ad-libs can be heard. She effortlessly hits her signature high notes while she's rising from below the stage on a platform. Once she's fully visible, Coke stands at the microphone and starts the song.

Lost in a cold world, right now
All that surrounds is dancing around
Used to be used to changing hues, not right now
Greener pastures that break blue laws, somebody tell me how
They try to paint it out but all I see is red
Feels like the minute I catch on, it's all in my head
Can't vouch for myself but still I rise, no ground
Can't afford change but quick to indemnify somehow



On the other side of the stage, Rum can be seen laying down on top of a speaker. She brings the microphone to her lips and begins to lazily sings, grooving along to the beat. She slows the song down towards the end, the music slowing down to before you hear that "shutting down" effect. All of the lights turn off and during this pause all that can be heard are screams.

Shutting out the world, I'm tired of thinking for myself
If I bask in my success, I'll only realize how much I've failed
If today the world stood against me, I wouldn't stand in the way
Hum The.. Vicar of Bray.. and still.. not... know....my.....place

Coke begins to belt out into the darkness.

Do you believe it?
Do you believe?
Do you believe it?
Oh-oh..



The lights flash back on and blinds everyone. Rum & Coke are now standing next to each other doing hard choreo to the live mix blasting through the venue. Both are trained dancers so they're moves are precise and fluid. The dance gives new life to the song as it chants the same phrase over and over again. The live version is much different from the album version, this one having a huge Electronic Hip Hop influence, making it perfect for a small dance break. Both of the girls look fierce as they dance, shooting playful looks at the crowd and cameras.

I never more will falter
Until the times do alter
I never more will falter
Until the times do alter
I never more will falter
Until the times do alter
I never more will falter
Until the times do alter

As soon as they complete the choreography for the song, the instrumental stops and both Rum & Coke stand and smirk as everyone reacts. A piano begins to play and a crew of ballet dancers spin over to Rum & Coke, handing both of them microphones and posing, turning into mannequins whole surrounding Rum & Coke. Coke lifts the microphone to her lips and begin to sing her solo song, Take Charge.



I'm better off alone until I find something to turn into me and cower
Leaving it to be devoured, consumed by ash and dust just like I am inside
-ide
But I
Try to
Light up
Those desires

My walls are burning down
My walls are burning down
My walls are burning down
My walls...

While she's singing, the beat to another song from their last album Better In Tongues can be heard fading in and taking over. As soon as Coke is done, Rum starts rapping to the beat.

Do you see the love in my eyes? Do you see the love in my eyes?
Do you smoke the slowly rise and cover up all of the lies?
Do you see the fire inside, the desire to claim what's mine, oops, make you mine
Over influenced by what I'm doing...

Suddenly, she stops and the music cuts off once again.



"Hold on, hold on, hold on.... If y'all want us to sing this song, you gotta let us know!!"

The crowd roars back at Rum, Hold On being an obvious fan favorite. Coke turns to Rum and then to the crowd.

"Damn, how does it go again? I need y'all to sing it for us. From the top, ready?

Fans GLADLY remind the duo, singing the hook at the top of their lungs. They become apart of the show, the love band playing along to the crowd's voice. Rum & Coke begin to smile widely at all the people who know the words, casually dancing to the sounds of the fans, Milly rocking, twerking and goofing off with each other. It's a really cute moment in the show and it reminds everyone why they feel in love with Rum & Coke.

Hold on (tight)
Hold on (tight)
Hold on (tight)
Hold on (tight)
Hold on (tight)
Hold on (tight)
Tighter (tight)
Tighter (tight)

The band breaks out into the actual live version of Hold On, everybody in the building singing along. Rum & Coke hug and put an arm around each other while facing the crowd. They sing into their microphones, the smoke on their faces really showing that they feel like they've accomplished something. They sing the chorus twice before the can't ends the song.



Yes, I've made my bed and I ain't here to mess it up
Now that I'm in your head, I'll say when you've had enough
Been everybody's baby but I think that you've been he-e-e-eld wrong
If I take you for a ride would you ho-o-o-old on?

Yes, I've made my bed and I ain't here to mess it up
Now that I'm in your head, I'll say when you've had enough
Been everybody's baby but I think that you've been he-e-e-eld wrong
If I take you for a ride would you ho-o-o-old on?

As soon as they're done, Rum grabs Coke and hugs her again. Coke his her tight as she behind to cry a little. Rum starts to cry because Coke is crying, together they just because one big emotional mess. Trying their best to not start sobbing, they hold each others hands and bow.

After the secret performer Suzie, is done performing as well as Rum & Coke people are still on their feet giving the pop star so much respect on her unexpected return and the FCA winner Run & Coke respect. More seconds pass and Aaron and Ezra are seen again and walk out onto the podium. Aaron is clapping as well, along with the crowd as they find their way to the podium. "GIVE IT UP FOR Suzie and Rum & Coke ON THOSE AMAZING PERFORMANCES!" Aaron says clearly as he claps for her. The crowd joins in and when they simmer down, he continues: "It's pretty crazy how the big wigs of FCA did that whole secretive shindig because no matter how much I investigated, I simply had no idea she would be here performing tonight, so kudos....kudos to you FCA's and Suzie..Rum & Coke were amazing as usual..." Aaron claps once more for them. When they quiet down Aaron continues, "It's been a crazy night but all good things must come to an end and this night has truly been nothing short of amazing, we've seen performances, surprises and some great appearances that truly capture the epitome of appreciation for the fans. The fans tonight, have voted on every single winner, so...give yourselves a round of applause for making your voice heard!" Ezra, Andrea and Aaron clap for the crowd and there is a large pop in cheer. "Now...the night might be close to being over, but we still have one more award! Aaron then looks at Ezra and Andrea with a smile.

Andrea shuffles around, causing the sequins on her outfit to shimmer and dazzle in the lights of the arena. She's clearly anxious and awaiting the results of this huge award. "That's right, honey pie. Saving the best for last as always, this award could be deemed as The Ultimate. It represents what makes the FCAs so unique in its field and important in the heart of the industry - the fans. The machine behind it all." An unexpected applause and cheer booms through the arena as Andrea tips her hat to the fans of the artists and talks up the award show. Andrea waits for the noise to subdue with a smile on her face before continuing on. "Other awards may have been brutal to battle out but they don't come any bigger or prestigious than this one. Yes, it's time for the Fan Favorite Award. A truly original prize and a staple at the FCAs. Who is the top dog? Well, you decide!" Andrea smirks and places an arm around Aaron as she looks over to Ezra, who is about to take over and lead them closer to the huge announcement.

Ezra nods, "Yes, this award has been created especially because there alot of artists with huge fan bases. These five nominees we will list in abit have proven once again that their fanbases are huge and powerful. From Dominic Brown to Weekend, each indiviual has the power to move crowds of thousands of people. From topping the charts, doing successful tours or just walking down the street - there is always demand from their fans." Ezra smiles softly.

"The nominees for Fan Favorite Awards are":"

Dominic Brown
Austin Nimmo
Kidd Amaze
Rum & Coke
Weekend

"This is such a tough list of nominees, each one of them deserves to win. Dominic Brown has been in this game for years and always delivered hits and successful tours. Austin Nimmo's Fanbase is crazy", she stops for a bit as she hears screams from the crowd. "See? Austin Nimmo has been successfully topping himself with every release. Kidd Amaze is someone who has been EVERYWHERE. Everybody knows Kidd Amaze. Rum & Coke have been delivering successful and chart-topping songs. Their Tours sold out. The name "Rum & Coke" itself is already a name, a brand to know. And what's a list without Weekend? Probably the biggest boy group since The Beatles. This is such a tough category but we'll know in a bit how YOU have chosen". Ezra smiles and looks towards Aaron and Andrea.

"All of the acts nominated are already iconic and legendary not only in my eyes but to millions across the globe. Being nominated...even shortlisted, is something that musicians can only dream of." Andrea smiles out into the audience, wishing all the nominees the best of luck. She clenches her fists anxiously and throws her head back, unable to contain her excitement as Aaron holds up the envelope. "Gosh, I'm bursting like a piece of Freshen-Up! It's a nail-biter, isn't it?"

Aaron nods at both Andrea and Ezra . "Absolutely! This is the biggest one of the night, so I am sure this was so close....but without further or due, the winner for the Fan Favorite Award is!!!!!!.......

Billy gasps and starts to run his hands through his boyfriend's thick hair as he is sucked off. Although they aren't exactly doing it on the centre of the stage, it is still very risky and although they are in a secluded area, there's obviously still a lot of people watching. It is a massive arena after all. Billy continues to play with Jerry's hair as he enjoys the warmth and the talents of his boyfriend's tongue. "Mmmmm...fuck yeah, babe. Work that tongue for me, yeah?" Billy moans in a breathy voice as he looks back down and locks eyes with Jerry,
giving him smouldering looks as a means of encouragement.

Dustyn cringes at the mention of used condoms. Sure, he just came into contact with one but it doesn't make the thought of them any more pleasant. "I hate those things. They feel weird, especially going in...there. Dallas always likes to be safe, though. Damn having someone who cares about the health and well being of everyone involved!" Dustyn folds his arms in mock annoyance. He chuckles and looks over at Billy and Jerry once more before quickly diverting his gaze. "Oh, no...no, no, no...I don't want to see that, thank you very much." Dustyn holds a hand up to the side of his face and turns to face Erich, taking in his drunken state. "Are you OK, Erich? You seem totally smashed...even by our standards! You got a place to stay after this?" Dustyn asks with a little chuckle.

When Tisha suggests they go to her hotel room he hesitantly nods in agreement. The drive would give him time to think about what to say,
and if it wasn't such a secluded setting, he'd consider it to be perfect. So many things could go wrong in her hotel room but he was trying to be responsible and do the right thing. He pulled his phone out, getting ready to text his friends that he won't be coming to the after party but suddenly stopped. He looked behind him and saw Nire staring back. Oh lordT. He put his phone back on his pocket.

"Fuck is you looking at, son?"
