Logan had been practising Taichi Quan for two weeks now. The day after he posted his YouTube video, he got the Amateur rating to his Taichi Quan on his own without the system's help. That was in one week after he started practising Taichi Quan on recommendation of Dr.Stones. He had felt immense joy in practicing this internal chinese martial art. His strength had also increased by a point. His instructor had also been recommended by Dr.Stones. His name was Bo Hai. He had been very pleased with his student's progress in the martial art. Bo Hai had asked him whether he was interested in joining martial arts competition to which Logan had politely declined.

He had an intelligence of 15 which helped him learn the stances perfectly. Right now he was sparring with Bo Hai but not gaining any advantage. Beads of sweat were dripping from Logan's face. His whole shirt had been drenched.

After a few moves, Bo Hai defeated him. Logan fell on his b.u.t.t perspiring and massaging his c.h.e.s.t where he had been hit. He got up and bowed deeply to Bo Hai and said," When will I become as good as you, Teacher?"

"Brat, it has been only 2 weeks since you started and you can already last 30-40 bouts against me. Aren't you already a monster?

Taichi Quan was an internal martial art which helped in increasing the core strength of human body. It mainly focused on defence. But If one wanted, it was quite lethal too.

"This is it for today. Come tomorrow brat. I am old. I am tired."

"Is being 46 years old called old now a days Teacher?", teased Logan.

"You want a beating brat?",smiled evilly Bo Hai.

Logan escaped his hands swiftly and left the building. He walked towards his home thinking how tumultuous this week had been. It started with him uploading his video on YouTube. He had hoped that this would catch the eye of some entertainment agents. But nothing so far had happened. He already had around 250,000 views and around 26,000 subscribers. In his past life many stars had been found through YouTube videos. The best example had been Justin Bieber. So far Logan had no luck.

He had been approached by a company which made musical instruments for posting their advertis.e.m.e.nt on his video channel. Today was the day he would tell his parents about his ambition to be become a Star. He was still a minor. He needed his guardian to sign such contracts.

He reached home to find his mum and dad sitting in hall. Helen asked,"Hey baby. How was the practice?"

"It was really fun,Mum."

"Don't exert yourself too much ,Logan", said Arthur.

"Mum, Dad. I wanted to talk to you about something important."

"What is it son?"

Logan took out his laptop, got to YouTube, kept the laptop in front of his parents and started his video. Helen had no clue what Logan was going to show them while Arthur thought he was going to show a funny video. After the video started, they saw a piano in a room which clearly was Logan's.

After a while Logan sat on the stool by the piano and started playing it. Helen had never seen her son so happy. While Arthur found the determination in their son's eyes. And then Logan started to sing.

I'm holdin' on a rope

Got me ten feet off the ground

I'm hearing what you say

But I just can't make a sound (Oh yea..)

They tell me that you mean it

Then you go and cut me down

But wait

You tell me that your sorry

Didn't think I'd turn around

And say

That it's too late to apologize

It's too late

Said it's too late to apologize

It's too late

Logan could be seen completely immersed into the rhythm and the song. He had that emotional look on his face. The song finished after a while and there was utter silence in the living room.

Helen suddenly embraced Logan and said," Baby, are you keeping secrets from us? Why was that smile so fake in the end?"

Logan said complainingly," Mum, I showed it to you so that you can tell me if it's nice or not? Nothing to do about my smile"

"Ofcourse you sang beautifully. It was superb. And you look really gorgeous on camera. Handsome as hell."

Logan looked at his beaming mother and thought so this is how a mother's love feels like. When it came to her son, she always had dumb love towards him. Arthur, on the other hand asked him,"It was really good Logan. But you didn't show this to us to fish for compliments right?"

"Mum, Dad. I wanted to be a singer. I have always wanted to be one. And may be after that an actor. Thanks to both of your DNAs I have been born really good looking and I can sing well too."

Helen became anxious. She knew that the entertainment world was very vicious and full of dirt. She didn't want her son to be entangled in scandals and drugs. Seeing her being so anxious Logan said," Mum. I really want to do this." It was his turn to be anxious. Looking at her son ,being so anxious she said," Fine, fine. But you have to promise me that you won't tread onto the dirt in that industry."

" I won't Mum. You are the best Mum.",saying he gave a big kiss to Helen on her cheek.

"Dad, I just got an advertis.e.m.e.nt offer from an music equipment company. I want your help for that."

"Sure thing son. But remember what you have promised your mother today Logan."

The final obstacle had been crossed over. Logan was very happy.
