Theo and his adorable little angel strode through the crowd still wearing their matching white snapback caps with sunglasses. As they push through the angry crowd he steps towards Mary who was now about to run away.
Before she could turn and leave Theo placed his hand on her shoulder. Mary turned around slowly, her brown eyes, dirty face and crispy dry hair were now in full view. Her eyes were glistening from the build-up of tears and her lips trembled.
"I'm Theo and if you don't mind we would like you to sing with us," Said Theo as comforting as he could
Ooo I know let's sing Doo, Doo, Doo song you taught us," Said, Emily excitedly
"Together big sister," Said, Chloe shyly
"Yo-you don't understand it's rigged" Said Mary in pity
"Are there any more contenders?" Said the host ignoring the crowd's anger
"Well, then let's hope for a miracle," Said Theo as he raised his hand and continued "We would like to try"
"Umm, yes of course," Said the Host not expecting anyone to step up as they've already been called out on there ploy
"I'll be singing with Mary and the kids if you don't mind" Said Theo
"It is not a problem please, come up," Said the Host
"can you give us a second" Said Theo
"Sure," Said the Host
Turning back to Mary who was still hesitating. He pulled out his phone and quickly wrote up the lyrics and showed her, while briefly showing the tune and rhythm needed to sing it.
Mary surprisingly had a good memory. The staff prepared three more mics before asking Theo what he'll be singing. Theo passed his phone over with the instrumental ready.
As they walk away Theo talks quietly under his breath "Nat, could you reset their noise recognition machine"
"It's is not connected to the web so it's not possible," Said Natalie through his Bluetooth earpiece
"Hmm well they are going to be connecting my phone to their system could you do it through that," said Theo
"Yes," Said Natalie
"Good, if someone checks make it appear to be set to thier configuration. Also copy all the of the recorded film that they've so far gathered from today," Said Theo
"Understood," said Natalie
Turning back to the patiently waiting Emily, Chloe and Mary he said "You guys ready to sing"
"Super Ready," Said Emily with a first pump into the sky
"Ready," said Chloe
Mary meekly nods with a difficult smile.
On the stage with Theo and Mary stood next to each other with Emily and Chloe in front of them side by side.
Nudging Mary on the elbow he said "Don't think about winning and just enjoy yourself"
Mary smiled and replied "Thank You"
Looking to his front he could see that this would be his largest live physically visible audience he had ever performed for.
Although his streams have an average viewer rate of 30,000 is still not as fearsome as watching the crowd in front of you immediately review you with just thier eyes.
The old Theo would have to rely on his other persona as a form of escape but the current him is an everything he wanted him to be.
Giving the crowd a wave and a smile "Hi I'm Theo" patting the kid's heads he continued"And these two are Emily and Chloe. Joining us is Mary"
"Nice to meet you"," Said Emily cheerfully waving both her hands
"he-LLO" Stuttered Chloe
"Hi again" Said Mary
"We will be singing an original song called Here Comes The Sun" Said, Theo
With that said he looked to the side and noticed the staff that he was ready.
A calm acoustic guitar tune sounded and set the tone for a new day. Following the guitar was a low sounding flute noise than a violin that cued them to start singing.
(Song: Here Comes The Sun - Artist: Beatles
Songwriter: George Harrison - Producer: George Martin)
"Here comes the sun (doo doo doo)
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right"
Theo sang the first verse with a soft tone while Chloe and Emily backed him up. Mary then sang the next part with her unique rough and tough voice.
"Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here"
Following that was the chorus that had all thier voices blend into the perfect concoction that swayed the crowd into loyal fans.
"Here comes the sun (doo doo doo)
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right"
Mary was infected by the atmosphere and as her rough and tough voice became a lot smoother while still keeping scratching uniqueness that came with her voice.
"Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here"
"Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right"
"Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes

Sun, sun, sun, here it comes"
"Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right"
"Here comes the sun (doo doo doo)
Here comes the sun
It's all right
It's all right"
The crowd showed their appreciation with a resounding cheer that had almost made them deaf. When the host stepped back on the stage the crowd immediately responded negatively. Throwing as many slurs possible in both the Oxford English dictionary and the urban dictionary.
The host acted as if hearing none of it said "Right, weren't they great! If you want them to win you gotta make some noise"
The crowd got louder with cursing while some just shouted at the top of thier lungs hoping for a miracle.
After about 3 seconds of shouting the hist attempted to calm the crowd before giving up and just continuing "Let's see if they won"
On the screen, thier names quickly shot to the top of the leaderboard. Once again the crowd said "Huh?"
In the back of the crowd, an angry voice was heard "WHAT!!?"
The Host and the staff couldn't help but swallow *Gulp*
"We WON" shouted Emily as she began to jump up and down happily
"Yay Dollhouse" Shouted the usually shy Chloe
"W-We actually won, WE WON, WINNERS," Said Mary progressively getting louder and more emotional
"Yes we did," Said Theo
The Host looked towards his superiors looking for answers before looking back to the technicians in pure rage.
The Host put his best smile back on after hearing his new instructions. "Well, then we have our winners. Let's take a look at all the prizes you won"
The curtains were pulled apart showing the dollhouse and a sign that said House Sold with a wide range of up to date tech, furniture, kids toys and a tax-free check of $200,000.
"Congratulations, so who's taking what?" Asked The Host
"If it's okay with you well take the toys," Said, Theo while looking at Mary
"No! I couldn't possibly take all the good things. It's your song and you could have won it on your own" refuted Mary
"Take it, I only joined because Chloe wanted the Dollhouse," Said Theo while patting Chloe's head
"B-But. " Said, Mary
"Just say thank you," Said Theo with a warm smile.
Taking a deep breath she cried "ThaNK YOU SO MUCH"
"Your Welcome" Replied Theo
The crowd scattered after congratulating Theo and his group for winning. After a few minutes, the crowd got bored and walked away from the venue. Theo was then given his phone back. With the crowd gone they were escorted to sign off some paperwork.
As Mary and Theo look through the contract they hear the sound of someone making a fuss.
"What the fuck happened out there!!" Shouted a male voice
"We don't know, but it's fine when we televise it will be edited to look like you won," Said Another Male voice
"Good, cause the company paid good money setting me up to be a star. Some homeless bitch better not ruin it" Said the first voice
While quietly reading it over once again he whipped "Nat, by any chance we're camera still rolling during thier chat"
"No" replied Natalie
"That's too bad" whispered Theo
Looking up at the nervous Mary who sat across him he said "Give me the contract, it's within my area of expertise"
"Umm Thanks I don't really understand a lot of the things it mentioned" Said Mary while passing her papers
"Its normal, that's just how these things are. In the future, I advise you to get a lawyer to look over it. Lucky for you I qualify as one. Though I haven't taken the exam" Said Theo while looking through her contract
"Hmm, Its mostly just about signing ownership over a lot of the prizes for its warranty. Then there's the house lease which is just requiring to sign your name and give some contact details" Said, Theo
"Thank You," Said Mary before signing everything
"Hey, aren't you trusting me a bit too much," Said Theo with a startled tone
"Well, I just feel like your good person," Said Mary while looking down nervously
"Big Brother, Isn't good. He's the greatest!" Said Emily from the side while playing with a doll
"Big Brother is a superhero" Said Chloe as she played with her new dollhouse
"So do you want a ride to your new home we live in the area so it's no trouble," Said Theo
"Umm yes, please. I don't really know my way around but umm" Said, Mary
"You don't have to be scared," Said Theo
"I want to pick up a friend first," Said Mary
"Sure, but first let's take a picture of the contract, I don't personally trust this show to keep it in tip-top shape," Said Theo as he took a clear image of every page
Later on, a staff member came in and placed the contracts in a briefcase before notifying them that the prizes would be dropped off at Mary's new home. Mary was then given the keys to her new house before the staff member left.
"Chloe, Emily time to go" Said Theo
