» CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: JANA'S ARRIVAL «

Valerie and Allie walked back to their managers’ office, where Ryan was standing, waiting for them.

"Hey, is everything ok?" Ryan asked, uncomfortably.

"Yep, we made up," Valerie said.

"Well, then lets check you in and take you to the studio," Ryan said, leading them off.

They went to the front desk and got passes (for security purposes) and walked over to the studio. When they got inside, they were shocked to see Jana sitting on a chair with music in front of her.

"Jana!" Allie yelled as she ran to give her a hug.

"Allie!" Jana yelled back.

"Hi!" Valerie said, waving.

"Hi! Omigosh, can you guys believe that we actually made it!? I mean…a record deal! This is great," said Jana, jumping up and down.

"Wait, I thought that you were coming tomorrow," Allie said.

"Like I was going to wait a day to come down here while you guys have all the fun! I don’t think so!" Jana said, smiling.

Allie smiled and noticed Jana’s mom sitting on a couch in the corner of the room. "Hi!" said Allie as she ran over to give her a hug.

"Hello Allison," Jana’s mom replied.

"I’m glad that you came with Jana," Allie said.

"Well, I just signed the papers allowing Jana to go on tour and promotions…etc. They said that they’re going to fax your mom the papers."

"Great!" Allie replied.

The door opened and in stepped a tall, blonde, lady in a red dress. "Hi! I’m Sarah, your singing teacher, or whatever you want to call me," she said, waving her hands in the air. "We have to go over all of the songs once, so you get the rhythm and notes right, then I have to run off to a ball." She shook their hands and asked them a few questions then had them sit on the chairs. In front of them were stands with a bunch of music sheets.

For the next 4 to 5 hours, the girls sang their hearts out till their voices got sore and raspy. "Well, that was good for the first time. We’ll meet back here tomorrow and Valerie, please bring your mother with you so she can sign the paperwork, OK dear?" Sarah reminded Valerie.

"Uh, sure, OK," Valerie replied, looking at Allie.

"Great! I see potential for you guys. Your limo will pick you up at….8am," Sarah finished as she ran out of the room.

"Did she say 8 AM!?" Allie yelled.

"Yes…" Jana said, looking at Allie strangely.

"I can’t wake up that early!" Allie whined.

Everyone rolled their eyes at Allie.

 "Mom, uh, Allie, Jana and I are being faced with the biggest opportunity ever," Valerie said to her mom.

"Oh really and what’s that?" Her mom eyed her suspiciously.

Valerie glanced at Allie, who was nervously biting her nails ,"Well, The Firm wants us to make a CD. They said that we have good potential and that we will probably make it big."

"Singing?" her mom asked.

"Yes. Please, please, please mom! This is what I want to do. I’ve wanted to do it for such a long time and all you have to do is support me and sign a paper or two," Valerie begged.

Her mom stood there for a minute, to add some effect. "I guess so."

"AHH! Thank-you! Thank-you! Thank-you!" Valerie and Allie screamed as they jumped around the kitchen. Valerie gave her mom a big hug. "Do you want to come with us tomorrow? We have to be down there by 8am and there’s a limo picking us up…." Valerie asked.

"A limo, well ok!" Valerie’s mom loved limos, along with every other female on the face of this earth. "Lets go have a celebration dinner with Jana and her mom!"

"Ok, let’s go get ready Val," Allie said as she pulled Valerie into their room.
