(I forgot to say this. Lindsey has her superhero cape and her superhero name will be announced soon. This chapter is different from the episode. Max steals Lindsey's song and upsets her and you can guess what happens next if you saw the episode, but I added a few surprises. Link and Phoebe don't fight in this chapter)

Lindsey's POV

I was walking around the mall searching for a gift from my father. His birthday was coming up soon and I wanted to give him something special. I won't be able to give it to him in person because he can't visit and we do not have the time fly out to see him.

A song came on and I was mumbling the words to it. It was 'Because of You' by Kelly Clarkson.

(This song came on the radio when I was writing this and I just wrote it down)

I was minding my own business when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw a girl with dark brown hair with the tips dyed blue with bangs and brown eyes.

"Can I help you?" I asked.

"You have an amazing singing voice." She told me and I scratched my neck.

"Thank you." I grinned, feeling flattered.

"I know this is straightforward but how would you like to be in a band with me and my friends?" She asked and I could sense the hope and desire in her.

"Woah, hold up. I mean, you don't know me and I don't know you." I told her and she shrugged.

"You're right but you can get to know us." She informed me. "We're a new band and Splatburger is looking for a band to play there every week and we want to be that band."

"Oh, I heard about that. My boyfriend was going to audition with his band." I told her and her eyes narrowed.

"Are you talking about Max and his band?" She asked and I nodded unsurely.

"Yeah, why?"

"You're so lucky to be dating Max." She sighed and I chuckled.

"He's a handful but what boy isn't?"

We both laughed with her nodding.

"True." She smiled and our laughter died down. "So, anyway, my band is meeting at 3:00 today at my friends' house and it would be great to have you come. We need a lead guitarist."

I thought for a moment and let a faint smile form.

"Fine, I'll give it a shot."

She smiled happily. "Great! Here let me put my number in your phone." I gave her my phone and she typed her number in. "I'll text you and come pick up when rehearsal starts."

"Perfect, can't wait," I told her as she handed me my phone back.

"Me too." She told. "I'll see you later."

"See ya." I smiled and we walked away from one another.

"Wait," I said and turned around. She stopped and faced me. "What's your name?"

"Oh! How rude of me. It's Zaria and yours?"

"Lindsey."

----

3:00 rolled around quickly and it was only fifteen minutes before I meet this band. I was nervous but excited at the same time. It was a blunt offer and it was a risky move but I have hope this will work out.

Zaria texted me and said she will come pick me up. I told her my address and she was on her way.

I told my brother goodbye and waited outside for her to show up. She told me she has her permit which made me feel jealous because I want to get mine.

My thoughts were interrupted by a red car showing up and stopped. The window rolled down and Zaria waved to me.

"Hey." She smiled and I went up to the window. "Hop in."

"I thought you had your permit, not a license?" I asked her as I got inside the car.

"It's a five-minute drive no cop will stop me." She scoffed and I chuckled.

"So, how long have you all been a band for?" I asked her.

"Not long." She shook her head as she started to drive off. "Just a few weeks, but we didn't have a lead guitarist."

"Lucky for you, I know how to play guitar and I can sing," I told her and she looked relieved.

"Good because I told the girls you could do both."

Five Minutes Later

We pulled up to a white and black colored house with two stories. She parked the car and I opened the door, slowly getting out.

"Ready to meet them?" She asked me and I nodded.

"Yep."

Zaria walked around the car to me and we walked up to the front door. She knocked and moments later the door opened to reveal a girl with dirty blonde hair with the tips dyed pink and bright green eyes.

"Zaria!" The girl smiled and hugged her.

"Hi, Carlotta." She greeted and hugged her friend back.

They pulled away and the girl named Carlotta spotted me.

"Is this the girl you were telling us about?" Carlotta beamed and Zaria nodded.

"Yeah. She will hopefully be our lead guitarist."

"I'm Lindsey." I introduced and Carlotta motioned us to come inside.

"It's so nice to meet you. I'm Carlotta." She greeted as we walked inside. It was a lovely house with a beautiful interior and decor.

"Nice house." I complimented.

"Thanks." A different voice said and I faced the voice. A different girl popped out from the kitchen and she had dark brown hair with the tips dyed red and brown eyes with a slightly taller figure. "My mother just had it redone so don't mess it up."

"That's Kensyn," Zaria told me and then gestured to me. "Kensyn this is Lindsey."

Kensyn nodded her head. "I heard about you. The supposed new lead guitarist."

I shrugged. "That's what Zaria said."

"Well, I hope you're good and not a letdown."

"Kensyn, don't be rude." Carlotta stepped in between Kensyn and me. "Give her shot."

"One shot, missy," Kensyn said bitterly and I stepped back. Kensyn left the living room and I turned to the other girls.

"She's a bit bitter isn't she?" I grinned with nervousness.

"Yeah, Kensyn isn't too friendly to anyone when you first meet her," Zaria informed me and I gulped. "Don't be nervous, you just have to get passed her hard shell to find the soft and kindness inside her."

I nodded and changed the subject. "So, can I play for you guys now?"

"Oh! Yes!" Carlotta chirped. "Follow me. Zaria get Kensyn!"

Zaria went to fetch Kensyn and I followed Carlotta upstairs. We entered a hallway and she turned into a room. It had instruments filling the room and a small recording area.

"Wow, this is amazing." I praised, taking in the atmosphere.

"Kensyn has a dream of becoming a professional musician and she just got this last week," Carlotta told me and sent me a smile. "She has big dreams!"

I heard footsteps and the other girls walked in.

Kensyn cleared her throat. "Impress us, chicky."

Carlotta handed me a bass guitar and I got ready to play.

I played a few notes I knew really well. As I was playing, Zaria and Carlotta were smiling, and Kensyn was nodding her head to the beat.

When I finished, the girls clapped, including Kensyn.

"I thought it was great and Carlotta seems to think so, but it's up to Kensyn," Zaria informed me and I looked at Kensyn.

"Well, missy, it sounded great and I was nodding my head which doesn't happen often." Kensyn stepped forward and I stood there. "So, you're in."

I smiled and the others clapped out of happiness.

"Thanks, Kensyn, I-"

"But you have to look the part."

Kensyn cut me off and I titled my head in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"All of us have to dye our tips a color. Mine is red, Carlotta's is pink, and Zaria's is blue." Kensyn explained and they each showed me their dyed hair that I just now took it.

"I thought you each did that because you liked it," I mentioned.

"We all agreed to do it when they saw my hair," Zaria replied and I nodded.

"So, if you want to be in the band, you have to dye your hair a current color that describes your personality," Kensyn explains.

Their colors matched their personalities perfectly. Kensyn's is red, which means fiery and feisty. Zaria is more calm, cool, and collected so blue fits her. Carlotta is bubbly and giggly and pink matches her.

What color matched me?

"I'll do it." I agreed and Kensyn grinned.

"Great. So what color fits you best?" She asked, examining my hair.

"I think purple might fit her," Zaria spoke and we looked at her. "She seems like a purple type of girl."

I smiled. "Purple is my favorite color."

"Perfect," Kensyn said. "Get the purple hair dye, Carlotta. We have some work to do."

----

Couple Hours Later

"Let's see how this turned out," Kensyn told me and took off the towel that was placed on my head.

I couldn't see it but the others could and I heard quiet gasps.

"It looks great." Carlotta squealed.

"Wanna see?" Zaria asked and I frantically nodded. She handed me a mirror and I pushed my hair over my shoulder.

The tips were dyed a dark purple and a couple of inches of my hair were chopped off.

"Wow, I love it." I smile, playing with my purple tips. "Thanks, Kensyn.

"It was nothing." She waved me off with a faint smile.

"Shall we get started on practicing for the audition at Splatburger?" Carlotta asked with a beaming smile.

We all agreed and went into Kensyn's little recording area.

"So, we need a song to write. Any ideas, ladies?" Zaria asked and the others were quiet.

"I sort of have a song written but it's not finished yet." I offered and they looked at me with hope.

"Sing it to us." Carlotta chirped.

"It's actually about my boyfriend, Max and it's called Secret Love," I told them before I started to sing.

(Song is 'Secret Love' by Hunter Hayes. I don't own this song or anything to do with it)

We get so close but we never touch,
Gotta wear this mask for just long enough
To get away from all the eyes that stare us down.
Like two criminals with the dream to steal,
Not a trace to be found of the way we feel.
With our hearts on the line, we give in and we get away.

"It's not the best but-"

"Are you kidding me?" Carlotta giggled. "That was amazing. We can build off that."

"She's right. We could have our first hit!" Zaria chimed in and I smiled.

"I don't think your relationship will be a secret after this is performed," Kensyn informed and I shrugged.

"I've come to a realization that I don't care what his sister says," I told them.

"If you two are happy together, then that's all that matters," Zaria told me and rubbed my shoulder. "So, shall we get writing?"

I was about to reply when my phone buzzed and I looked at it. My brother wants me home for dinner.

"I have to go home before my brother gets mad," I told the girls. "I'll see you all tomorrow?"

"Of course." Carlotta beamed and hugged me.

We all shared out goodbyes and I left Kensyn's house. It wasn't a long walk at all but it was late at night which made me nervous.

Not to long after, I made it home. My brother was here and I waved at him.

"Hey, sis, I made tacos." He told me from the kitchen and I walked into the kitchen.

"Yum." I grinned.

Daniel didn't mind my hair because it's normal for teenage girls to do this.

After Dinner

I sat in my room and was figuring out what to write next for my song. I've never written a song before but I started to write down my feelings about my relationship with Max and how much it bothers me that we are keeping it a secret.

I didn't have a guitar unfortunately but I have fingers to snap and clap.

I let out a small gasp when I got an idea and started to write my thoughts in my songbook as I sang the lyrics.

Secret love, all the things we do,
Secret love, baby me and you,
Got a secret love.
Stayin' undercover and out of sight,
If nobody knows, then we're doin' it right.
Secret love.
Got a secret love.

I kept going.

When you're living a life that you gotta deny,
When you feel how we feel, but you gotta keep lying,
It's only gonna mess you up inside.
When you walk by each other in a crowded room,
And nobody sees how I'm looking at you,
But we'll meet in a minute at the rendezvous.
Only you know what I mean.

Secret love, all the things we do,
For secret love, baby me and you,
Got a secret love.
Stayin' undercover and out of sight,
If nobody knows, then we're doin' it right.
Secret love.
We got a secret love

We're in love but nobody knows.
We're in love but nobody knows.
We're in love but nobody knows it yet.
Are we in love if nobody knows?
Yeah, are we in love if nobody knows?
Are we in love if nobody knows it yet?
I guess it's a secret.

Oh yeah, woo

Our secret love, all the things we do,
Secret love, baby me and you,
Got a secret love.
Undercover and out of sight,
Nobody knows, then we're doin' it right.
Got a secret love.
We got a secret love.
Secret love.

Oh,
Yeah now, oh no
Are we in love if nobody knows?
We in love if nobody knows,
Are we in love if nobody knows?
Well, I guess it's a secret.

I dropped my pencil and let out a small cheer.

"Yay!"

I fell on back on my bed and shut my eyes satisfied with my work.

----

A few days had passed and the girls are I worked hard on getting this song perfected. We each had a part we sang but I sang most because I wrote it.

The day has come to audition for the Splatburger house band and I was nervous. I haven't spoken to Max or Phoebe for a few days and this is why. I mean I've texted the twins but they haven't seen me in person or seen my hair at all. Max was worried when he texted me but I assured him I was fine and just had stuff to get done.

The girls and I walked into the restaurant. I didn't want Max to know I was playing so I had Zaria carrying my guitar and I kept a good enough distance from them. Kensyn was on Bass, Carlotta was the drummer, I was the lead guitarist, and Zaria was the keyboardist.

I spotted Max and his band.

"Max," I whispered and he surprising heard me. He said something to the guys and came up to me. The girls were watching me from afar but it wasn't noticeable.

"Hey, Lindy." He greeted and kissed my cheek. "You come to cheer me on?"

He seemed slightly nervous and I didn't know why.

"Of course." I beamed. "So, did you write a song?"

He nodded and bite his lip. "Sure did."

"Okay, you guys are up!" I heard Jay Jay say to the boys.

"Good luck." I smiled and kissed his cheek.

Max gave me a nervous nod and his band went up to the stage area.

"Alright, this song means a lot to me as an artist, songwriter, and someone who likes free food," Max spoke into the microphone. "Hit it, boys!"

They started to play and it sounded very similar to our song. The girl came up to me and they noticed too.

"That sounds a lot like-"

We get so close but we never touch,
Gotta wear this mask for just long enough
To get away from all the eyes that stare us down.
Like two criminals with the dream to steal,
Not a trace to be found of the way we feel.
With our hearts on the line, we give in and we get away.

I stared at Max in shock and disbelief.

"That's our song," Kensyn spoke and I was too in shock to speak.

"They stole our song. How did they even do that?" Zaria asked.

Secret love, all the things we do,
Secret love, baby me and you,
Got a secret love.
Stayin' undercover and out of sight,
If nobody knows, then we're doin' it right.
Secret love.
Got a secret love.

I listened to them play and I just shook my head.

"That's enough!" Jay Jay called, standing up. "Wow! Just give us a sec, okay?"

Jay Jay and the other employees spoke to each other.

"Give me a sec, girls," I told the girls and they nodded knowing I what I was going to do. I went up to the steps of the stage and stood there.

Max noticed me and he met me halfway.

"Lindsey, listen-"

"Max, I can't believe you would steal my song. That's my song." I told Max, feeling hurt and betrayed.

"I can explain. See I needed a song for the band and Phoebe told me that you have a diary and I may have stolen it to get inspiration." Max explained and I knew he was lying. "You wrote a great song by the way."

"I don't have a diary. I have a songbook and I've never told Phoebe about that." I corrected Max and he remained silent. "I know you're lying so don't even bother trying to convince me otherwise."

"Lindsey if you just let me explain it-"

"No, you've said enough and obviously sang enough. Bye Max." I bitterly told him and stormed out of the restaurant ignoring the girls along the way.

Tears formed in my eyes and I silently cried as I walked home.

----

The next day, Zaria and I were in my room. I told her what happened and she was beyond upset with her brother.

(Max is in her closet listening)

"You know, I'm not surprised Max stole my song. Seems like something he would do." I told Zaria as I wrote on my songbook that she found in Max's bag.

Turns out he snuck into my room when I was sleeping and stole it.

"I know right?" Zaria told me and scoffed. "I can't believe I found that guy cute."

I sent her a small glare. "Well, these lyrics I just wrote he won't steal because I am putting it in a special place where he won't find it."

I went up over to a chair in my room and lifted up the lid. I dropped my book inside and put the lid back on.

"I would've never guessed that did that," Zaria stated and I smiled at her.

"I need places where I keep my secrets right?" I told her and sat back down on my bed again.

"Hey, do you think Max actually read those lyrics? Does he know it's about him?" Zaria asked and I rolled my eyes knowing Max probably didn't.

"Knowing Max? No, he just did because he's an idiot and cares more about free food than me." I spoke through gritted teeth and gripped my quilt.

"You care more about food than him," Zaria informed me.

"That's not the point, Zaria." I snapped and she put her hands up in defense. I sighed, "Sometimes I think he doesn't care."

"Don't say that," Zaria assured me. "I mean he has done nice things for you, right?"

I thought for a moment and I drew a blank.

"Uh..."

"Lindsey, come on."

"Well, he isn't exactly a nice and kind person. He's a bad boy." I explained and Zaria nodded.

"I know but a lot of bad boys show their soft side of people they care about. Does he show his soft side to you?" Zaria questioned and I ruffled my hair. Max didn't notice my new hair because it was in a low ponytail at the auditions.

"Well, yeah, but it rarely comes out," I spoke and I felt myself smile at some memories of the two of us. "He shows a different side of him when I'm around. He's calmer and very sweet to me."

Zaria nudged me. "See, he does care. Why would he act like that if he didn't?"

I shrugged, not finding the right words to say.

"You know why, Linds," Zaria told me and got off my bed. "I gotta get home. Text the other girls those lyrics and we'll turn it into a song. I'll see ya later."

"Bye," I told her with a tiny wave before she walked out.

I got up and shut my door. I went over to my laptop and put on my headphones and opened youtube.

Funny fail videos should take my mind of that idiot.

----

Saturday rolled around and I walked into Splatburger. Phoebe texted me saying Max was sorry but I didn't believe her. I went because the girls and I were going to get lunch.

(Btw, Phoebe still doesn't know they are dating. She just thinks Lindsey is upset he stole her song and wants Max to apologizes she they can be friends again. Which is what happened but yeah)

I walked in and saw Max and his band setting up to perform.

"Ugh." I groaned and went to turn away but the girls pushed me forward.

"Linds, you came!" Phoebe smiled and I nodded.

"Yep, you texted me saying Max was saying for being an ugly jerkface who has no talent," I told her and she nodded with a sheepish smile.

"I didn't text you." Max walked over to us and I glared at him.

"Looks like lying runs in the family." I spat, shifting my eyes to his twin sister.

"So, I may have taken Max's phone and texted you that," Phoebe admitted and I frowned at her.

"Why would you do that?" I asked her.

"So, I can get you here and have you two talk it out," Phoebe explained and I folded my arms, annoyed. "Listen, I know you and Max don't get along that well but this is ridiculous. Max is sorry for what he did and I think he has a way to-"

"I don't care." I interrupted her, bitterly. "There is nothing he can do to earn my forgiveness. I'm leaving."

I turned to walk away and my band followed. I froze when I heard music and turned around.

(Song is Steal Your Heart by Ross Lynch.  I think this song perfectly describes Max's feelings toward Lindsey)

You're a good girl
The perfect picture of an angel's smile

"Dude, what are you doing? We're supposed to play 'Secret Love." Oyster told Max, confused.

"Alright, new plan, watch me with the changes and try to keep up," Max told them.

From a magazine
But it's a new world
And I know so well the side of you
No one's ever seen

I glanced at Phoebe who looked at Max in confusion. My eyes wandered back to Max who was staring right at me and was giving me pleading eyes.

Hey, now baby,
No doubt about it, girl
You drive me crazy
I'm pleading guilty to the way you make me
Wanna steal your heart
Steal your heart

I felt myself smile and Carlotta, Kensyn, and Zaria were squealing quietly behind me. I know this is his own song because he means every word.

Call me criminal
I won't deny you make me want it all,
Everything you are
So lock it up
Go on and try it
No matter what you do
I'm gonna steal your heart

My heart was racing and my cheeks were bright red. I slowly approached Max whose eyes never left me.

I confess,
I kinda like it that you're innocent
Keeping up your guard
I'll break it down
So you can't hide it
No matter what you do
I'm gonna steal your heart

The song ended and the whole room cheered. I stood there with a breathless smile on my face and Max came down to me.

"I'm so sorry, Lindsey," Max admitted. "I just needed a song and I wasn't thinking straight and I stole yours.... that song I just played, I wrote it. I spent all night writing that song. It expresses my true feelings about you."

I let out a small giggle and was about to reply but Phoebe.

"Excuse me, but what just happened?"

We looked at Phoebe and I let out a sigh.

"Alright, Max and I dating." I quickly said and her mouth fell open. "Before you say anything, look at my hair."

I pushed my hair forward and showed it off.

"Whoa, purple hair." Phoebe blinked and stroked it. She shooked her head. "Don't distract me with your amazing new hair." I glanced at the ground, sorrowfully. "I can't believe you didn't tell me sooner... this is great!"

"Phoebe, we- wait, what?" Max asked, confused and I was as well. "You're okay with this?"

"I know I said I didn't want you dating Max but after a while, I actually thought you two would be good together," Phoebe confessed and I let out a sigh with relief.

"Thank goodness." I chuckled.

"Besides, it would be good for Max to have a girl around that can tell him not to bad things," Phoebe added and I chuckled.

"No girl will stop me from doing those things." Max scoffed and I turned to him with a glare.

He cleared his throat and chuckled nervously. "Besides you of course."

I rolled my eyes with a smile and I looked at Phoebe. She gave me a smile and walked over to Link, her boyfriend.

I turned to Max and felt relieved.

"Well, I'm glad that's over with. No more secrets, right?" I asked Max who nodded.

"Right," Max said and he touched my newly dyed hair. "I love the hair, it really brings out your eyes."

"Thanks, a new friend of mine did it." I grinned.

"Well, I love it," Max repeated. "And I love-"

He paused and I gave him a look of confusion.

"Your hair," Max added and I snickered.

"You already said that," I told him with a smile of amusement.

"I-uh-I love it so much I'll say it again." Max let out a nervous chuckle. I rolled my eyes playfully and I hugged his side, not minding the guitar.

"By the way, who are those girls that keep following you around?" Max suddenly asked and I gave him a smirk. I spotted the girls on stage and they were talking with the other members of Max's band.

"Why don't you find out? Hey, ladies!" The girls looked at me. "Let's show these boys up?"

I saw Max was confused and I went up on stage.

"Excuse us, boys," I told, Oyster, Gideon, and their new member, Wolfgang. "Us ladies are gonna perform."

The three of them walked over to Max and they all looked at us.

"Five, six, seven, eight," I told the girls, snapping my fingers.

Never known anyone like you before
Someone who could make me smile
When I'm falling down on the floor
Never laughed so hard 'till I met you
Somehow you get me when nobody else has a clue

Max gave me a smile and was nodding his head to the beat. The rest of the restaurant seemed interested as we played.

It's ok to be me next to you
It feels good to be one of the two
Just like glue

Me and you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
So glad I've got a guy like you
Me and you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Always got each other's back we do
'Cause everything's a little bit better
When you and I stick together
Stuck on you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Me and you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

The restaurant was clapping to the beat and the boys were as well. Max was giving me the biggest smile like he was proud of me in a way.

You always got a friend, always got a friend
Always got a friend in me
I always got a friend, always got a friend
Always got a friend in you too
You always got a friend, always got a friend
Always got a friend in me
Always got a friend, always got a friend
That's the way it's gonna be

Me and you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
So glad I've got a guy like you
Me and you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Always got each other's back we do
'Cause everything's a little bit better
When you and I stick together
Stuck on you
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Me and you
You

We finished the and everyone here applauded and cheered for us. The boys and Max clapped for us and Phoebe was cheering loudly. Jay Jay was giving us smiles and we went up to us.

"Wow. That was great!" He smiled breathlessly. "You know, we could always use two bands to play here."

The girls and I looked at one another with grins.

"Really?" Carlotta giggled holding her drumsticks happily.

"Actually, Jay, Jay." Max stepped forward and glanced at us. "They can be the band that performs. It's obvious they have songs that are well written and are more experience."

"Max, you don't have to do that," I told Max and he gave me a soft smile.

"I want to. After what I did to you, you deserve this." Max told me and kissed my cheek.

"Sweet! Free food!" Kensyn cheered and strummed her bass.

"Max!"

We turned to see Oyster, Gideon, and Wolfgang were holding a drum piece in their hands and a food tube was spitting food out of it.

"Help us load up!" Oyster said and I gave them a confused look.

"Wolfgang swiped Jay Jay's remote." Gideon good Max who approached.

"Wolfgang swiping!" Wolfgang expressed in his foreign accent.

Kensyn went to stop them but I stopped her.

"Don't bother," I told her and pointed to Jay Jay who noticed.

"Hey! Get away from that tube!"

"Busted! Run!" Max exclaimed and the boys attempted to run out of the restaurant.

I sneakily sprayed ice in the floor with my ice manipulation and they all slipped.

I went up to Phoebe and Link.

"Aw." I sighed, happily. "Revenge. Check."

——-

So, did you like what I did for this chapter? Lindsey is in a band and she also changed her hair. I wanted to change this one up because Lindsey wouldn't have a huge part in it if I didn't, so I made it about Max and Lindsey.

The secret is out. Their relationship is now public and Phoebe wasn't upset. I wasn't feeling the drama to have Phoebe get upset because it doesn't seem like something Phoebe would do.

So, I've decided to make a new book for season 3 and for season 4 whenever I get to that one. I have titles but I want you all to decided which one. I have one more chapter before season 3 and it's A Hero Is Born. I'm skipping The Girl With the Dragon Snafu because it wasn't my favorite, so in my story it doesn't happen.

Here are the titles for you all to pick from:

* Forbidden Love
* Power of Trust
* Can't Help Falling in Love
* True Colors
* Let Me Fix You
* Steal My Heart

If you have others in mind don't be afraid to tell me, I'm always open to suggestions. I love comment and suggestions.

Thanks!
