## Summary

Julie Molina, a bisexual butterfly queen, is a 16-year-old girl in 2020 (but some better AU 2020 where covid isn’t a thing). She’s a SUPER talented musician, but she hasn’t played or sang in a year because her mom passed away a year ago. Julie would always play and write music with her mom, so now it’s too painful to do it. Alright, got that? Now, flash back to 1995. A band called Sunset Curve (comprised of 4 teenage boys who are all either definitely or canonically queer) is about to play a show at the Orpheum. Then, 3 of the 4 members die right before the performance after eating some bad hot dogs. What happens after they die? Well, they become chaotic teenage musician ghosts. The thing is, though, they think only an hour has passed. But when Julie finds their CD and plays it, they appear in 2020, still 17, an hour (from their perspective) later. It’s like no time has passed for them. Basically, take three dumbass 17 year old boys from 1995, turn them into ghosts, and drop them in 2020. Introducing the three ghosts! We have Reggie “Han Solo Supremacy” Peters (sunshine given human form), Luke “The Simp” Patterson (Mr Rockstar McSleeveless), and Alex “Anxiety Gay” Mercer (Blonde Twink Supreme™). So, they become a band. It’s not really on purpose, but they appear for moral support on the stage when Julie is playing to earn back her spot in the music program. But, since this is a magical universe, apparently, people can see and hear the ghosts when they play music with Julie. How does she explain it? Well, Julie is what is scientifically known as a terrible liar. However, this girl Kayla completely saves her ass by asking “wait, were those holograms?” and Julie’s like “Yes. Yes they are holograms thank you for saving my entire ass” and everyone buys it because I guess holograms are a thing that exists commonly in this alternate universe. Basically, they become a chaotic band of queers in LA (except 3 of the 4 are actually dead and ghosts) they fight an evil gay magician ghost (who gets SOME rights only bc his songs are bangers), break some rules because of said chaoticness and queerness and teenage-ness, all while Julie tells everybody that the ghost boys are holograms. And just for shits and giggles, Julie’s best friend Flynn is a funky lesbian who’s definitely in love with their rival, Carrie (a repressed lesbian) because really, what is a rival but a crush that you’re mad about having? Also, Booboo Stewart plays a chaotic ADHD gay ghost who said “fuck the cops” and is Blonde Twink Supreme™’s love interest.
