Mackie and Dan bowed at the crowd before they went backstage, replaced by the second performers.
Mackie couldn't wait to go and meet her parents, but she couldn't because nobody was allowed to meet their parents until they finished all of the performances.
"Um, Mackie, t—thank you for singing with me," Dan said as he approached Mackie. "I can't sing as well as you, sorry if I let you down."
"You're doing great!" Mackie said while patting Dan's shoulder. "I will sing with you again later! I promise!"
Daniel's eyes widened. He was so happy that he could explode right now. He grabbed Mackie's hand and stared at her hopefully, "I promise I will only sing with you! We will always sing together, Mackie!"
