Narrative:

Climbing out of fqd controller assigned 9000 ft and I read back 9000 ft. Before reaching, controller said we missed altitude and assigned another altitude. I reminded the PF, but he continued through altitude saying that the controller was not talking to us. I don't know why he was confused.
