Beyonce and Kelly looked outside the front window patiently so that they could see these two girls, Tenetria and Farrah, whenever they arrived. Matthew had just called them from where he picked them up and told them they were on their way. After a month of depression, both for Kelly and Beyonce, they had finally healed from their struggles because they had a very successful meeting with Pastor Raymus. It was more than a meeting for the two ladies. It was a revealation. The pastor explained so many things to them and they were so lifted, so thankful, so influenced by it, that it felt as if God, Himself, had came into their bodies and took all the sadness away. As that was happening, they felt it. They REALLY felt it and because of that, the girls just started speaking in tongues. Pastor Raymus knew exactly what was happening to them because it had happened to him when he became a pastor. God was just taking them over and was answering all their prayerrs in that one moment. After that, the girls' lives had been changed. They had never felt so good, so inspired in their lives. It was an unbelieveable moment for them and they just cried & cried afterwards because they knew it was over. The past was finally behind them and they were going to focus on the future. They were still the same two people as they were before but they were stronger and wiser. The future was obviously going to be these two new girls who wanted to be a part of Destiny's Child. Beyonce and Kelly couldn't wait to meet them.

"Beyonce, Kelly..." Tina Knowles stepped into the room where the girls were waiting.

"What is it, mama?" Beyonce asked with her eyes still looking outside.

"What are y'all gonna do to these girls?"

"What do you mean by that, mama?"

"I just wanna know what exactly y'all are gonna do to them. Are you gonna make them audition?"

"No, we're not gonna do that to them. We're just gonna welcome them into this house and just talk to them. There probably nervous enough as it is. I wouldn't wanna make their nervousness worse. We just wanna be some kind of friend to them now." Kelly explained.

"It's not gonna happen over night, you know." Tina replied.

"Yeah, we're aware of that, mama. You and Solange just be nice and respectful to them. Just talk to them as if you had known them forever." Beyonce said.

"Okay. Let me go get your sister then." Tina said as she walked away.

"I hope they like us, Kelly. I don't think we could stand another break up of this group."

"This is gonna work, Bee. I'm not gonna question whatever God has in store for us. They'll be some problems on the way, I'm sure of that, but nothing too serious. It'll just make us stronger."

"I hope you're right, girl. Farrah looks just LaTavia. Tenetria kind of looks like LeToya."

"You know how I don't go by my full name, right?"

"We might have to see what Tenetria's middle name sounds like 'cause that is kind of ghetto."

"Yeah, it is ghetto." Beyonce laughed.

"Hold up! There's the limo! There they are."

"Okay. This is it. We prayed a lot. He hasn't let us down before. He won't do it now. This is the answer to my prayers. Those girls in that limo are angels 'cause..."

"Destiny's Child is forever!" They both yelled as they opened the door.

The girls walked over to the limo. They did what was natural and tried to be as nice as possible when they came out. The girls looked at each other as the door opened. A tall girl by the name of Tenetria stepped out. She was wearing a orange Tommy Hilfiger shirt and tight Tommy jeans. Her hair was long. She had a pretty complexion. She smiled at Beyonce and Kelly.

"Hi." Tenetria shyly said, looking at the ground.

"Hey, girl!" Beyonce said as she gave her a big hug.

A short girl by the name of Farrah stepped out next. She had a kind of sophiscated look to her. She was wearing short shorts and a blue top that said "Princess" in red letters.

"Hello, how are y'all doing?" Farrah spoke to them both.

"Hi...Farrah, right?" Kelly shoke her hand.

"Yes, that's me."

"It's very nice to meet you. Did y'all have a safe trip?"

"Yeah, it was okay." Tenetria replied.

"Well, y'all better get used to it because Destiny's Child flies a lot. Come on in." Kelly directed them to the door.

"Thank y'all so much for coming. We were really happy when we heard about you."

"Yeah, well, I've always been one to take advantage of an opportunity so I was more than happy to do this." Tenetria smiled at Kelly.

"You have a beautiful home." Farrah said as she looked around the Knowles' house.

"Hello there." Tina and Solange appeared out of nowhere.

"Tenetria...Farrah...this is my mother. You can call her Miss. Tina and this is my little sister, Solnage." Beyonce introduced.

"It's nice to meet you, Miss. Tina....Solange." Tenetria and Farrah both said as they shoke their hands.

"I like your shirt." Solnage said as she pointed to Tenetria's shirt.

"Thank you."

"So where are you ladies from?" tina asked.

"I'm from Los Angeles." Farrah replied.

"I'm from a small town in Illinois. Rockford, Illinois."

"Oh, okay. I've never heard of that. Are y'all excited about this?"

"Very excited, Miss. Tina. I've never experienced an opportunity like this before." Tenetria said.

"Well, it ain't all fun and games. It requires a lot of hard work and commitment. Apparently, you two have that in you since you're here." Kelly said as they all sat down in the living room.

"That brings me to a question...I know that you two and LaTavia & LeToya were together for awhile and y'all looked so good in performances since y'all were a group for so many years. Are we gonna do something new or just master everything that they used to know?" Farrah asked.

"Well, we will definitely be praticing a whole lot whenever we get started. I can gurantee you that." Beyonce said.

"What's the first thing we're gonna do when we master everything? Are we gonna record a new album or something?" Tenetria asked.

"We still wanna release some more songs off of 'The Writing's On The Wall.' Columbia wants to release 'Jumpin, Jumpin' and 'Say My Name' before we record a new one."

"LaTavia and LeToya do know about us, right?" Farrah said.

"My husband is gonna take care of all that. Don't you worry. Y'all are in good hands."

"Yes, your husband is a very nice man."

"Thank you, Tenetria. Are any of you girls hungry?"

"I hope I don't sound rude but I am a little hungry." Tenetria said as she looked at the ground.

"You're not being rude, sweethart. Solange, help me in the kitchen."

"Yes, ma'am. Nice to meet y'all." Solange said.

"You too." Farrah and Tenetria replied as they walked into the kitchen.

"Come on, we'll show you around the house." Beyonce said as she got up.

********

Beyonce, Kelly and Tenetria got along great. They were chilling in Kelly's room now. Tenetria was telling Beyonce & Kelly stories about her old boyfriends and they all were cracking up. Farrah was silently reading a magazine to herself. She looked up as the other three girls started laughing again.

"Okay, okay, so listen, listen...so then, he goes, no matter what I do for you, it never seems to be enough. Girl...I couldn't believe he said that!"

"I've never understood boys. They're just so weird, you know. I've had so many boyfriends though. It's just unbelieveable. Some of the songs on this CD are based on a true story for me!" Kelly said before Tenetria laughed.

"You should see her box. Kelly has a shoe box of like all her past relationships. Like, she'll keep notes that her old boyfriends gave her and she has all their pictures in there. She's got ticket stubs from the movies they went to."

"I can't stand going to the movies with boys. All they wanna do is make out with you. I made out with this boy once in the movies and we got kicked out. From then on, I was like...no, you need to concentrate on the movie, not eating my pussy." Tenetria said.

Beyonce and Kelly fell out laughing. They fell in love with Tenetria. She was a comic. She liked to make people laugh and that's what they liked about her. They knew she was gonna fit in perfectly with the group. Farrah was cool but she kind of silent and to herself a lot. Beyonce & Kelly were bonding with Tenetria but that wasn't the case with Farrah. They hoped it wouldn't be a problem in the future.

"Girls! Y'all can come and get it!" Tina yelled.

"Okay, Miss. Tina!" Tenetria hapilly said as she hopped off the bed.

Farrah, with the same look on her face, put her magazine down and followed Tenetria.

"She's a little...too serious." Kelly whispered to Beyonce as she looked at Farrah.

"I know but she's friends with Tavia so you could expect her to be a little weird."

Beyonce and Kelly knew they were wrong for talking about someone behind their back but it was her first day meeting them so they expected her to feel a little awkward. The girls went downstairs and made their way to the kitchen. Tina & Solange cooked a huge meal and they couldn't wait to start eating. They sat down, Farrah said the blessing and they began to eat. While this was going on, Matthew came in with papers in his hand.

"I need your attention for a minute, girls."

They all looked up at Matthew, who was always working very hard for Destiny's Child.

"Okay, the first thing, in the morning, we start praticing. Beyonce and Kelly, I need y'all ready at 10:30 in the morning to start teaching Farrah and Tenetria everything Tavia and Toya used to know. This whole week is gonna be nothing but praticing, okay? Next week, we're gonna shoot the video for the next single."

"What did Columbia decide on, daddy?" Beyonce asked before she took a big bite out of her fried chicken.

"They decided on 'Say My Name' so we'll be shooting the video for that next week. After that, y'all have a press conference to explain what happened to Tavia & Toya and to introduce the new girls. Speaking of new girls, Tenetria..." Matthew said as he took his glasses off and sat them on the table.

"Yes?"

"We have to change your name."

"What's wrong with my name?" She asked.

"Nothing's wrong with it, honey. It's just too...ghetto."

"We are ghetto." Kelly mumbled before everyone laughed.

"I know we are but Tenetria...um...what's your middle name?"

"Michelle."

"Now, that's better! That's perfect! Beyonce, Kelly, Farrah and Michelle. Can you work with being called by your middle name from now on?"

"It'll take awhile to get used to since I'm so used to being called Tenetria but I'll try."

"Good, then, it's settled. Everyone call her Michelle from now on." Matthew said as he walked back to his office.

"He works real hard, doesn't he?" Michelle asked as she scooped up a mouthful of peas from her plate.

"Yes, he does. My daddy works very hard." Solange replied.

"You sure you don't mind being called Michelle?" Farrah asked.

"No, it's cool. It does fit in better with all of your names."

"Yes, well, as long as you're happy...Michelle." Beyonce smiled.

**********

Beyonce smiled at Michelle as she climbed into her bed. It was one in the morning now and the girls desperately needed some sleep. Kelly, Beyonce & Michelle had stayed up all night watching movies. Farrah went to bed in Kelly's room right after the big meal she ate. Beyonce and Kelly had no doubts about Michelle, but they were very skeptical about Farrah. They had also noticed that Michelle's faith in God was as deep as theirs. The girls had no problem whatsoever with that.

No sooner than when she had climbed into bed, Michelle was knocked out. That left Beyonce and Kelly, who was sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag, some time to themselves.

"Hey, Bee, i just realized something."

"What is that, Kelly?" Beyonce asked as she started filing her nails.

"You haven't called Matt in a week."

"Who?"

"Matt...Matt Hardy, your boyfriend."

"Oh, him. To be honest with you, I forgot about him ever since the day we spoke in tongues."

"What, you don't like him no more?"

"No, girl. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here today. I love that boy. It's just that my career is back in full force now that Michelle and Farrah are here."

"Hold up. You're confusing me. Awhile ago, you taked him non-stop. Now, you act like you don't even care."

"I don't know. I don't know. Nothing's wrong with our relationship. We have nothing to talk about, okay? You're asking the wrong person." Beyonce said before she tossed her nail filer to the floor, turned around and got comfortable in her bed as she tried to figure out the answer to Kelly's questions.
