Chapter 1: September 14

Ocean wakes up after a very vivid nightmare. When she wakes up on Monday, September 14, the day she gets to skip school for the Kiwanis International Singing competition. Afterwards they get to spend the rest of the day at the Fall Fair.

However, something doesn't feel quite right. As they're in line for Constance's favorite ride, The Cyclone, the feeling gets worse. The only other choir member who feels like something is even slightly wrong is the new girl Penny Lamb.
