Jem and the Holograms Page #7

Um, no.

Y-You know what? It's...

It's gonna be just fine.

I'm gonna take care of this, I promise.

I'm gonna talk to Erica.

We're gonna make this

work, no matter what.

Okay.

I have to go. I love you. Bye.

I-I think what I'm asking for

is an advance or something.

Just an advance?

Consider it done.

Thank you. I'm... I'm sorry.

- Oh, my gosh. Sorry.

- Only I ask one little thing of you.

What is this?

Well...

Is this like, uh...

like, a solo contract?

Why do you look so

surprised? You deserve it.

Do you know how many artists

take years to get to this place?

Some never do.

But you are different.

- You're special.

- Thank you.

Um, that means a lot to me, Erica.

But I... Just so we're on

the same page, you know?

My sisters are... They're the whole

reason I'm in LA to begin with.

Of course they are.

- And they're incredible.

- Yeah.

But LA is just the starting point.

Where you go from here, that's up to you.

Let me turn you into an icon.

An icon is not one of four.

It's

one-of-a-kind.

Then you'll support your whole family,

not just this moment, for

the rest of their lives.

Do you get that?

For the rest of their lives.

Oh, I want this for you.

I really do.

But you have to really

want it for yourself.

Otherwise, you would leave me

no choice but to replace you.

But anyone can be Jem.

Remember?

Nobody knows who she is.

And Starlight owns the

name, the logo, the costumes.

So, you wouldn't just be losing the house.

You would lose everything

that we built together.

- You don't wanna do that.

- Right.

It's exciting.

- Okay?

- Okay.

- Bye. See you later.

- Bye.

Okay, listen. I know it's

probably very difficult

trying to break this news to the girls.

But now that you are officially

Starlight's newest solo act,

you rely on me for those

types of phone calls, you know?

- Let me lift the burden for you.

- Yeah.

You just sort of let it go.

Put that game face on and just shine.

Have a great show.

We were just talking about you.

Yeah, we know. We heard everything.

Wait. Let me... Let me explain

what's been going on, okay?

Explain what? What are you gonna explain?

- That you wanna go solo?

- I tried to tell you guys,

but we were gonna lose the house,

and I thought I could take care of it,

- so we could always be together as a family.

- No! No.

You do not get to do that.

You cannot use us as an excuse for lying.

That's not how a family

is supposed to work.

This whole band, we've supported you.

So you don't want us around anymore?

You could've respected us

enough to tell us to our face.

I've had it. I'm done.

Me too.

Wait, Kimber. Can you just...

just please try and understand?

Please don't do that.

Please don't do that, J.

Listen, I don't need

you to take care of me.

I'm not some little girl anymore.

This isn't right, you know?

I mean, whatever it is Dad

wanted you to do, do you...

do you think this is it?

Jem! Jem! Jem!

Jem! Jem! Jem!

Ladies and gentlemen... Jem!

I've been here in this place

I've been stuck in this space

Like a ghost that's

been missing its life

Silent words in my mouth

Yeah, they want to scream out

And I'll leave my old shadow behind

In my heart and out of my mind

Oh, whoa

I'll go, but I won't go quietly

Go down, but I'll go down fighting

Don't know where Don't know why

But I can't go back,

back to the way I was

I'll show who I am from the inside

Gonna take my walk on the wild side

Don't know where Don't know why

But I can't go back,

back to the way I was

Oh, whoa Oh, whoa, oh

Oh, whoa Oh, whoa, oh

Oh, whoa Oh, whoa

No, I can't go back,

back to the way I was

I'm the leaf I'm a seed

That's been waiting for spring

I'm a girl reinventing herself

We might fall We might rise

We are all butterflies

Breaking free from

our jars on the shelf

Finding out the truth for ourselves

Oh, whoa

I'll go, but I won't go quietly

Go down, but I'll go down fighting

Don't know where Don't know why

But I can't go back,

back to the way I was

I'll show who I am from the inside

Gonna take my walk on the wild side

Don't know where Don't know why

But I can't go back,

back to the way I was

Oh, whoa Oh, whoa, oh

Oh, whoa Oh, whoa, oh

Oh, whoa Oh, whoa

No, I can't go back,

back to the way I was

I'll go, but I won't go quietly

Go down, but I'll go down fighting

Could be hurt Could be love

But I can't go back,

back to the way I was

I'll go, but I

won't go quietly

- Go down, but I'll go down fighting

- Oh, oh, oh

And go down fighting

Don't know where

Don't know why

But I can't go back,

back to the way I was

I'll show who I

am from the inside

Gonna take my walk

on the wild side

Don't know where

Don't know why

But I can't go back,

back to the way I was

Oh, whoa Oh, whoa, oh

Oh, whoa Oh, whoa, oh

Oh, whoa Oh, whoa

No, I can't go back,

back to the way I was

Oh, whoa Oh, whoa, oh

Oh, whoa Oh, whoa, oh

Oh, whoa Oh, whoa

No, I can't go back,

back to the way I was

In July 1973,

The Everly Brothers self-destructed

in front of a sold-out crowd.

Phil smashed a guitar over Don's

head and stormed off stage.

It's a story that's been told

over and over and over again.

It happens.

Bands break up.

But we were supposed

to be different.

Maybe I was wrong.

I guess sisters can break up too.

And when I realized that,

I knew there was only one

place left for me to go.

I thought I might find you here.

Kimber...

I know that I've ruined everything.

Yeah, you were kind of a jerk,

and you made some mistakes that hurt a lot,

but I know you were just

trying to do the right thing.

You should've just told us the

truth from the beginning, J.

But if coming here proves anything,

it's that, this is...

this is just a house, you know?

A home is where you're

surrounded by people who you love

and who love you regardless.

So...

Solo contract or not...

you're stuck with me.

Thank you.

Actually, you're stuck with all of us.

Ever since you've gone, I just...

I can't stop thinking about

how nobody else understands

what we've been through.

And I would rather lose everything

than live my life without you.

Did you just quote a Beyonc song?

Yeah, 'cause she got it so right.

Oh, my gosh.

- We love you.

- We love you.

- I love you guys so much.

- Shh.

We talked about it,

- and we know how much it means for you to finish Synergy.

- No.

So we're here to help you, together.

What else could we do? We

followed every map and every clue.

Which is why your dad believed in you

enough to know you would figure it out.

- We needed a ride.

- Mm.

He wanted you to solve this, Jerrica.

Otherwise, why would he give

you Synergy as his final gift?

No, I mean, the last thing

that he gave me was...

Oh, my God.

That's it.

Kimber's alien handwriting?

I was a baby, Shana.

No! The starburst!

My earrings. "Use your gifts."

They have to be the last piece to Synergy.

Well, where are they?

Starlight.

Starlight. Yeah. Hold on a second.
