Don't Worry Polly

When the squad returned to LA after doing a few tours, Polly and her group were at her house discussing the song she sang. Polly shares her lyrics with her whole squad and they loved it.

"Wow Polly, that's amazing," said Rachel.

"Yeah, you should publish it somehow," Hannah added. "Maybe send it to a team at Matter Studios."

"No thanks," Polly said. "I don't want to bother them nor want a team."

"Come on Polly," Jamison said. "This is your chance to become an artist just like your sister."

Polly wasn't so sure. She wanted to, but she didn't think a team would be interested.

"Maybe I'll do it myself," she said but she didn't know how.

Jamison was thinking about her posting her song and lyrics to her social media. Polly liked that idea and got set up for the song.

She recorded it with Hannah's iPhone and audio recorded her singing the lyrics to the song. She then added autotune to the sample.

"What do y'all think?" she asked the group.

Jamison smiled. "This is perfect! I'd jam to this on Spotify!"

"Sure would," Laura grinned.

Rachel and Hannah applauded while Jermone gave a thumbs up. She felt confident that her song would be a hit.

"So, when will you publish it?" Rachel asked.

"I'll do it now!" Polly said excitedly.

So, Jermone gave Polly his laptop to send the lyric video to YouTube. It didn't take long for it to upload and it already had a few views.

"Oh man look at that," Polly boasted.

"I'm so proud of you!" said Jermone. "Pravo!"

With all the support, she was sure that the music would explode. It got up to 4,047 views in the next week but Polly wasn't happy. Jermone told her that it may take a while to get to a big number. So she didn't get too upset about it.

 In the same week, she came up with another song. It was dedicated to her favorite paparazzi, The Paparazzi Gamer, or real name, Will. She didn't tell him about it however because she wanted it to be a surprise for his special monthly 7th day a month salute in March. She told her group to meet up at Squad World for review. Everyone loved it, and she posted that song as a premiere for the 7th of March.

Something didn't seem right to Polly because her song only went to 2,000 views. She felt disappointed. She thought that she would reach 100 thousand by this week.

"I don't believe that this is happening," Polly said about to cry. "It's been a full week and more and I haven't gotten over a hundred thousand."

She posted this on her story. She was planning on quitting her music carrier when she had a text from one of her supporters that told her not to do so and calm down about it. So she decided not to quit and kept ongoing.

Soon, other supporters were also encouraging her to stay on her dream to be a professional artist. She felt a bit better afterward and even started to think about yet another song. But she would plan it for a different day.

 The next day was Paparazzi Gamer Day and Polly's special song dedicated to him was premiering this day. Everyone was at Piper's house outside watching the premiere. The Rock Squad was there, her sisters are there, and some of Piper's group was there.

"Ok, an hour until the premiere starts, "Gabi who was announcing it said. "Get ready y'all!"

"I can't wait for it to start," Rachel smiled. "Also, can't wait for Will to hear it!"

Hannah and Clyde applauded. "I hope he enjoys it!"

"Me too," Polly said happily. She was so excited for him to hear it.

Will showed up 5 minutes before the premiere started and everyone cheered for him.

"Hey guys," Will waived. "A huge crowd I can see! So, what's going on?"

"Polly has a surprise for you," Rachel replied. "You'll like it, I'm sure of it."

"Oh wow," Will replied. "I'm sure I will. Polly is like one of my biggest fans ever. If she made something, you know it has to be good!"

Polly blushed.

Soon, the premiere had started and Will sat at the front. He enjoyed the lyrics and Polly's voice. He danced and sang along to it while the video was going on. This made Polly very happy.

 After the premiere, Will clapped and thanked her for making the song. He loved it so much, that he wanted to play it again so he could put it on his channel singing it.

"So, do you think that you will make music videos along with this?" Will questioned.

"I might," Polly thought. But internally she didn't know a studio that would be interested in her work.

"Wow Polly this was amazing," Lev commented. "Following those footsteps of your big sister, am I right?"

"Nah," Polly denied. "I'm just having her mini version. I don't like to be referred to as such. To me, it feels like I'm trying to steal Piper's spotlight because I'm doing the same things that she does."

"You're not necessarily doing the same things though," Rachel said. "Y'all are doing things differently. She's not the only one that makes music, she's not the only one that does pranks, and she's not the only celebrity and influencer in the world. You might think that doing the stuff that she does is copying her, but in reality, though, you are doing the same categories but not exactly. Now, I could understand making remixes of her songs, but you have songs of your own and they are just as good as hers. Don't you worry about a thing!"

Polly was feeling comfortable now with what Rachel had said and didn't feel like she was being a copycat anymore, at least for now.

"Man, and I thought I was the worrier," Jamison joked. "You're like a mini-me!"

Polly giggled.

"What, it's true?"

"No Jami, you worry way more than me."

"Well, maybe just today you borrowed my spot."

"Yeah yeah, whatever." She then turned to Will. "So, what do you think? I assume you liked it because you wanted it on repeat."

"I did," Will replied. "I enjoyed it. I also listened to your other song and I loved it too. Keep up the good work!"

"Thanks, Will," Polly smiled. "Hearing that from you motivates me to do more."

"Hey, no problem," Will said.

"This is the best TPG celebration ever!" Gabi said. "Shout if y'all agree."

Everyone did just that and Will smiled.
