After eating their foods, they went to the park where Nick is thinking about the Moths, another band who are known for playing their own music (such as I'll Sing It and Doing The Crazy Move). Harry was so confused that he never heard the band before.

Nick and Harry got an idea to get a new song by playing them together at the studio. Before that, Percy and Johnny were at a concert. They had a plan to watch the encore. Once they finished their song, Percy and Johnny have a plan for tricking them by putting some glue on the floor. As Harry and Nick got out of the record room, they are about to step the glued floor but stopped. Percy angrily groans as seeing Harry and Nick were prevented from stepping. He got out behind the wall and talk to them while walking. But Percy got struck on the glued floor which make him tried to get out of the glue by taking his shoes off. After he get off the glue, Nick notices the shoes on the glue that Percy got off. They begin to laugh at him for not wearing the shoes because of the glue.

After he successfully removed his shoes from the glue, Nick giggles at him because he doesn't wear his shoes.
