Lizzie looked out at the screaming crowd, their success had finally come. They were hitting it big. The crowds were massive and now they were being recognized everywhere by their stage names. She smiled to herself. She looked over at Jane who was hitting up the bass and Charlotte who was on the electric guitar and finally over to Wickham who was hammering out the drums. She loved it. They were finally getting somewhere. Prejudice was hitting the big time. They finished their set to screaming fans calling out for them. She smiled and left the stage.


"Lizzie...Lizzie...Lizzie... LIZZIE!" Charlotte screamed at her. Lizzie fell off the bed.

"Good lord woman, do you have a voice." She smiled ruefully up at her best friend and housemate. Charlotte smiled back.

"Jane's making pancakes this morning. So get your behind up Lizzie. Before I scream in your ear again." She promptly threw her pillow at her best friend and a fully-fledged pillow fight began. The door opened and both girls looked up.

"Now, now girlies what did I say about fighting in Liz's room without me?" Wickham picked up a pillow and chucked it at Charlotte, who squealed and they all began hitting each other again.

The door opened again a few minutes later to show Jane, her blonde hair put up in a neat bun and a spatula in her hand.

"Now ladies I know you're all little kids at heart but seriously. All of you really should stop fighting like sissies and come get some pancakes."

"Yes mum." They chorused and they all looked at each other and burst out laughing. They got up and walked out to the kitchen of the girl's new apartment, it was modest but still quite large for an apartment in downtown New York.

"Well Wickhead when did you get here?"

"No need to talk like that Lizard, I got here about 5 minutes ago when Janey here let me in. Oh and nice pajama pants." Wickham smiled at her slyly. Lizzie looked down at her monkey pajama pants and frowned.

"Jannnnnneeeee, why'd you let him in here so early?"

"Because like you know, we have a meeting with our managers this morning and we needed all of the band here. Besides we can't have just the three of us, that would make our band too girly, though to be fair George is not really the best male we could have chosen. We definitely could have done better." Wickham scoffed.

"As if, you know just as well as I Janey dear, that I happen to be the best drummer in the whole of New York, so you can deal with my deficiencies as a male." Jane tried to hide her smile behind her spatula but soon burst out laughing as they all sat down, eating their breakfast.

The four of them made up the best up and coming band in America, Prejudice. Their new single and album had become the number one on the American, UK, Australian and French charts and they were steadily rising up on the charts of many other countries.

A knock on the door pulled all four of them from their thoughts. Lizzie walked over to the door and opened it to find her aunt and uncle. Maddie and Ed Gardiner, also known as Prejudice's band managers.

"Maaaaddddiiiieeee!" Lizzie squealed and pulled her aunt into a tight hug.

"No greeting for me like that Lizzie?" Her uncle laughed at her, clearly used to her hugging habits. Lizzie sniffed.

"It's a girl thing." She laughed and gave her uncle a large hug as well. She loved both to death and was glad that they were her band managers.

"Did you bring lovely Belle, James and Tristian?"

"No we left the kids at home because believe it or not Lizzie, we do have business to discuss."

All six moved into the living room and sat down, ready to begin discussing where their band was headed now that they were going into fame.

"Right, so now that the band is becoming more well recognized, we need to discuss the plan, where do you want to go from here and what are we going to do about the press. Also we need you all to sign new legal contracts and documents." Madelaine said.

"Maddie's right you all need to docus on where you want to be and what music you want to make. So shall we keep your identities secret?" They all nodded.

"Are you all happy to continue wearing the band masks during all performances and at least sunglasses during any press conferences so that the press don't know what you look like?" Again they all nodded.

"Also are you guys alright by going with your stage names of Carla, Jayde, Lizard and Gordon?"

Again they all nodded.

"Right, now back to the legal business. Basically I need all of you to sign contracts for the next 2 years providing that we continue on going into the spotlight. Also this contract gives Lizzie the right to choose most of the musical content and she can also choose who is in or out of the band considering she has a good enough reason to kick one of you out. Either that or at any time any of you are free to leave the band as long as you give 3 months notice."

"I'd say you have to come up with a new album in around about 4 months so that the public doesn't lose interest in you. We are also going to do a tour of America as well as England for starters and if all goes well we might consider going to Australia." Ed said. They all murmured in agreement of the terms and signed their contracts which were then filed away into Ed's bag.

"Well now that that's all settled, how is it that I got the stage name of an animal and the rest of you get normal stage names again?" Lizzie asked indignantly.

"Well if you really must ask that was all George's fault." Jane replied laughingly.

"Wickhead this is all your fault. Why'd you have to call me Lizard all the time?" They all laughed.

"Because you know you love me and can't hurt me." Lizzie just groaned.

"Oh Lizzie, I almost forgot, mum's making us go to some sort of party when we go back home for a while next week." Jane said hesitantly. She knew Lizzie's hate of their mother's overbearing ways.

"Oh fuck. This is going to be a disaster."

"Mum's not that bad Lizzie and you know it."

"Only you Jane, only you can see the goodness in everyone you meet." She sighed. "Fine I'll go but you know I'm going to hate every minute of it."

"Hey! It's my parent's party! It won't be that bad, besides, I'll be there."

"Oh! I didn't mean to offend you Char, I just... You know how mum is."

"Oh yes. I know very well."

"Actually girls, I'm going down there later this week so I might see you girlies down there and we can have some real fun."

"Eugh. Kill me. I don't think I can take my mother and you in the same place. Don't come down to the Hamptons Wickhead, just stay where you are and don't move."

"Very funny Lizard, very funny but it's too late. I've already booked my flight."

"Fuck." Lizzie sighed. It was going to be a long couple of weeks.
