When they finished the song the crowd cheered wildly. Afterwards they went back stage and talked to the press. Cat told Adam that she thought the show had gone well, and that a lot of people were going to be on their side. ''I do hope so'' said Adam Next they went to the Grand Ole Opry, to perform again. When they arrived there Lady Antebellum were waiting for them. Cat said, I think we ought to go inside and sort this out in private. They all went to a dressing room to have their say.............................................................

When Hillary heard that they were going to sing "Need You Now," she was furious. Hillary:You can't do that! That's our song! Cat:Well, we recorded it. Hillary:So did we. Charles:Did you record any of our other songs? Adam:No, we only recorded that one. Charles:Good, 'cause we've got a great number picked out for tonight. Suddenly, Nigel entered the room along with Mary, Mia and Tyce. Mary:We'll help you. We're on your side now. Cat:You are? Nigel:After watching you and Adam perform, we thought that you needed some extra help to carry out your plan. Cat hugged and kissed Nigel. Adam made a face. Adam:Eeeww. The host kisses the producer on the lips. Gross! Cat:Shut up, Adam. After an hour of rehearsal, it was time to perform...

They went on stage, the theatre was full, although they were nervous, they gave a great performance. The crowd shouted for more, so they sang another song to keep them happpy. Ladt Antebellum were not amused, and they left the theatre. When Cat got back to her dressing room, she had a shock, written on her mirror was a message. It said, Lady Antebellum will be back, so beware ! Cat showed the Nigel and the others, they all agreed that they would stick together. ''What are we doing tomorrow'' asked Cat
Nigel said ''I think we ought to have a day off, to get some rest''
''Oh good !'' said Cat, ''I'm going to go shopping''...............................................................................

The next day, Cat went shopping with Mary to find some new outfits for their upcoming shows. Mia and Tyce had decided to take a walk around Nashville and visit some of the museums. Nigel and Adam were busy trying to arrange new gigs for the group. When Cat and Mary arrived back at the house, they had three bags of outfits for the show. Adam:Wow. You're all set, aren't you? Mary:I guess so. Adam:We've got a gig tomorrow opening up for Carrie Underwood. We're gonna perform for about half an hour. Cat:Well, we'd better start getting a set list together. After working on their set list for the next day, Nigel decided to call it a night. The next morning, they went to the arena early to rehearse. What they didn't know was that Hillary was there with a few of her followers...

As they started to rehearse, things started to go wrong, the sound was not right, the lighting was going on and off. A fire alarm was set off, causing disruption. Nigel decided that a break was needed, so that the engineers could put things right. Cat was trying on her new outfits, and asking people which they thought was the best. ''They all look good to me'', said Adam Meanwhile Hillary was hiding and watching everyone. ''Ok'', said Nigel, ''We will just run through the show once more'' Everybody took their places for the final rehearsal. Then all of a sudden all the lights went out, there was no power, cameras wouldn't work, it was chaos.
They all decided to call it a day, Nigel arranged for everybody to come in early in the morning, to prepare for the show.
Cat and Mary decided they would go out to see a movie, and then go find somewhere nice to eat..............................................................................

After the movie, Cat and Mary went to a little outdoor cafe where they served burgers and salads. Cat ordered a cheeseburger and Mary got a salad with Ranch dressing. While they were eating, a food fight broke out at a nearby table. Blake:Let's throw fries! Miranda:Let's throw them with cheese! Trace:Don't do that! Let's throw them with mustard! Mary:Will you please stop that? We're trying to eat our food. A couple of mustard-covered fries landed in Mary's salad, and she was mad...

Mary got up from the table and walked over to the people who were throwing the food. Mary:Will you please stop throwing food at me and my friend? We're trying to enjoy our dinner and you're disturbing us. Trace:All right. I'm sorry. I'll stop throwing fries at y'all. Mary:Thank you very much. You look familiar. Have I seen you before? Trace:I'm Trace Adkins. You've probably seen me at the Grand Ole Opry. Mary:Oh, I didn't realize you were there when I was. I'm Mary Murphy. I'm a choreographer on SYTYCD. Trace:Cool. Mind if I sit with you and your friend? Blake and Miranda are starting to get on my nerves. Mary:Sure. You're more than welcome to join us. You can even have some of my salad if you'd like. While they were eating, Mary and Cat filled Trace in about what was going on with Lady Antebellum. Trace:They're crazy. All they want is to rule country music. Cat:Will you help us defeat them? Trace:I would be more than happy to help. What do you need me to do? Cat:Would you mind singing one of your songs with us tomorrow at our rehearsal? Trace:I have several songs that I could sing. Were you wanting a slow one or a fast one? Cat:Maybe one of each? While they were discussing this, Adam had shown up to talk to them...

''I think we could have problems with the show tomorrow'' said Adam. ''Hillary is going to try to spoil it !'' ''I think she'll have a fight on her hands'', said Cat, ''We are going to get as many Country Music stars on our show as possible''
Nigel was busy phoning as many people as possible to sing on the show. Cat wondered what outfit she was going to wear for the show, she asked Mary for advice. Adam was still worried about what Hillary would do !
''Sould be a good show tomorrow, guys'' Nigel shouted, ''I'll see you all tomorrow at the theatre.''

The next day, everyone arrived early at the theater to rehearse for the show. Trace had invited a few of his friends to be backstage in case anything went wrong. Nigel had gotten some really good acts to be in the show as well. The lights dimmed, and Nigel signaled for Cat to come out onstage. She kicked off the show with "Cowboy Casanova" by Carrie Underwood with several backing dancers. After that, it was time for Nigel and Adam to sing "Red Dirt Road" by Brooks & Dunn. Next were Mary and Trace singing "Every Light In The House." Then, it was time for Little Big Town to lead the singing of "Boondocks." Suddenly, Hillary walked out onstage. Hillary:May I sing a song? Nigel:No, you may not. Hillary:Why not? Adam:Because you're not part of Catastrophic. Hillary:I'm gonna bring Charles up here later and we'll see who belongs up here. Then she turned and walked away. Trace:Well, there you have it. Now it's time for... Cat:Trace, that's my line. Trace:Oh, sorry. Go ahead, Cat. Cat smiled and took the mic. Cat:It is now time for us to show you our unique dance routine. Hit it, Adam. Adam turned on the CD player, and everyone began dancing around the stage. Mary was trying to show Trace how to master the samba while Adam did a cha-cha with Reba. After this was done, it was time for the finale. Trace, Mary, Mia and Cat helped lead the singing of trace's hit "This Ain't No Thinkin' Thing." After it was over, Nigel decided that it was time to go and get some lunch.

They all went for lunch together, Cat hoped there wouldn't be any food fights. Over lunch they discussed the show, Nigel thought it was the best line up they had ever had. ''I'm really looking forward to tonight too'' said Cat As she was saying that Miranda & Blake started a food fight. ''Here we go again'' sighed Cat. Within seconds there was food flying in all directions. ''Time to go I think'' said Nigel. Nigel, Cat and the others arrived early at the theatre to prepare for the show. When they got there they found Carrie busy rehearsing a couple of numbers. ''Wow those sound great songs'' Cat gasped. ''Yea, I only wrote them recently, this is the first time I have performed them''.
Everybody then started to get ready for the show, checking their outfits, and doing last minute rehearsals.
''Ok, curtain up'' said Nigel, ''Lets get this show on the road''
Then the show began.......................................................

Everything was going as planned. The crowd loved Cat's opening number. They seemed to enjoy Nigel and Adam's duet, too. Then it was time for Mary and Trace to sing their song. The crowd went nuts. Suddenly, Hillary and Charles appeared onstage. Cat:Oh no, you don't. This is our show, not yours. Nigel:Get off the stage. Hillary:No! Nigel:Why not? You don't belong here. Charles:We want our revenge, and we're here to get it. The crowd began to "boo" them. Hillary:Stop that, or we'll set this place on fire. Adam:You can't do that! Charles lit a cigarette and threw it across the room. Flames shot up all over the room. Everyone was in a panic. Trace:Where do we go? Miranda:What are we going to do now? Blake:I think our best bet is to go outside. Charles:No one can leave until we have burned this whole place down. Cat:Nooo! You can't kill us! I thought we beat you fair and square. Nigel:Everyone, go outside! Now! They all rushed toward the nearest exit, but it was locked. Katie Cook:Let's try the window! It's our only chance of survival! Come on! She opened the window closest to the stage and everyone scrambled out. Just as they did this, the building collapsed. Everyone was happy to be alive. But there was one problem... Nigel:Trace? Mary? Mia? Where are you?

By the time the Fire Department arrived, there was just a huge pile of burning debris. Nigel explained to them that some of their friends were missing.The firefighters began putting out the fire, and searched for the missing people. Then there was a shout, ''Over here, help us'', It was Trace and the others. Paramedics checked them over, they seemed ok, apart from being in shock. Nigel and Cat talked to the police about how the fire started. The Police put out a nationwide search for Lady Antebellum.
It had been a very scary experience, so everybody went to a nearby hotel to calm down and get some rest.............................

As Cat and the others left the hotel the next morning, there was a huge crowd of people waiting for them. As they walked out, the crowd began cheering and waving at them. Adam:Wow! This is amazing! Thank you guys so much! Miranda:Does anyone want to grab a burger to celebrate? Several people in the crowd shouted yes. So Miranda and Blake led them across the street to a local cafe. While Cat and Katie were discussing what to do next, a reporter rushed up to them with a camera. He began asking Cat tons of questions. Mark:When did you first start the group? How did Katie know how to get out of the building when the fire started? Would you be willing to take Lady Antebellum's spot at the CMA Music Festival next week? Cat:Would you mind talking to my friend Nigel? He'll be able to answer any of those questions. Just as she said this, fries came flying and landed in her hair. Cat:Blake and Miranda, please don't throw fries. You're gonna get us kicked out. The crowd that had followed them began chanting, "Throw more! Throw more!" Adam:Please stop doing this! I'm trying to eat my freaking salad over here!

The food fight then got out of hand, with literally everyone in the cafe throwing food at each other. Unfortunately for Cat and the others, it was filmed by a TV crew and shown on the main news bulletin. Nigel was not pleased at all.
Nigel told waiting reporters, that if they were asked to attend the CMA Music Festival , they would. Nigel gathered everyone together, so that the photograhers could take a group photo, for the papers.
The police told Nigel and Cat, that there was no sign of Lady Antebellum anywhere, but they were still searching.
''What are we doing tonight'' asked Cat
'' I think we are all going to Miranda's place for supper'' said Nigel....................................

When everyone arrived at Miranda's house, her dogs came running out to greet them. Cat:They're so friendly. Miranda:Yeah. They get along with strangers pretty well. Nigel:What are we having for supper? Miranda:Would you like some grilled chicken with vegetables? Mary:That would be great. While Miranda and Blake were busy getting the food ready, Cat and the others sat in the living room and chatted for a while. After everyone had eaten, Miranda asked if they would like to hear a new song she had written. Nigel:I would love to see that. Adam:Can I film it? Miranda:Of course you can film it. I'd love it if you used it for your show at CMA Fest. Adam got his camera ready. He hit the Record button, and Miranda began to play the guitar and sing.
