(A/N: a surprise person that is currently on the show comes into the story with her boyfriend, and they had both been here before, and are coming back)
There was a knock on the door, and Tia was still at home by herself, because everyone left, she opened the door, and it was Lucky, and he had a about four bags in his hands, followed by Liz, Mandie, and Sly with bags in their hands too. "Well are you ready?" Sly asked Tia "Sly, what in hell are you talking about?" Tia said "Liz, you didn't tell her?" Sly said "Um, no we thought you guys would say something." Mandie said, "Okay, guys just tell me!" Tia exclaimed, they all looked at her "Okay Tia, we are having kind of a party with just a few people." Lucky told her. "But I'm not ready, and I don't have a babysitter." She said "Don't worry about that I took care of it" Emily said as she came in the door, "Austin and Chaeci are with their Aunt Kristina" "Thanks a lot you guys" Tia said. "Well it's 4:30 and they will be here at 6:00, so we need to get moving." Liz said "Here I will help you guys." Tia offered "No, you are coming upstairs with me" Emily said as she grabbed Tia's arm and drug her upstairs, Tia took a shower, and got changed, and Emily was doing the same in her room, they put on make-up and Emily fixed Tia's hair, they were back down by about 5:45. "It's about time you guys got here" Jenna said, "What are you doing here?" Tia asked "Serena and Georgie are spending the night, Mia promised" Jenna said "Okay" Tia said, "And where are Ethan and Jordan?" "They are at Gram's house tonight." Mandie replied, about that time her came Nikolas, Summer, Zander, Chance, Adam, Alison, Jamal, Livvie, and Jack in the door. "Hey guys" Tia said "what's up?" Hey, T, wow you look great, I mean since you've had a baby, you look skinnier than you did before you got pregnant" Livvie said, because Tia and Mia had both always been tall and skinny. They talked for most of the night and the ordered pizza, and had a lot of fun, but about 1:00 or 2:00 everyone went home except for Chance, Adam, Zander, Nikolas, Lucky, and Sly who stayed at the gatehouse.
The next morning about 11 am, "Shit, its 11, I have to go pick up Chaeci, and I might as well pick up Austin too, and then Jordan, and Ethan, and I have to take Serena and Georgie home" Tia said frantically to herself, as she went downstairs to Jenna's room, and went into Jenna's room, all 3 girls still asleep, "Serena, hun, wake up I have to take you home" she said shaking Serena, then went over to Georgie, "Georgie, hey wake up you have to go home, oh forget this I will get someone else do it, I have to go Gram is going to trip out, and so is Kristina." She walked into the kitchen, and Summer was already up, "Gosh this looks like a war zone huh?" Tia said, "Yeah, I know its awful, but I think little elves did part of it." Summer said, "Yeah, probably so, hey I have to go pick up kids so, I'm going to get dressed and while I'm gone try to get the little elves up, please" Tia said, "Okay I will" Summer said. So Tia went upstairs and tried not to wake up Chance, she threw some clothes on, and flew out the door. She went to Kristina's first, "Hey Kristina, it's your niece, ya know the mother and aunt of the kids that you have, let me in," Tia yelled. "Okay, Okay, I'm coming" Tia heard from the other side of the door, Kristina opened the door, and let Tia in. "Hey!" Kristina said cheerfully, "I guess that you are here to pick up Chaeci and Austin" "Yeah, I am look sorry Kris, but I didn't wake up till about 15 minutes ago, and I have to go get Jordan and Ethan still, so I can't talk now, but if I get a chance I will come back later, and we can talk." She got the kids carseats and headed out the door. She drove to her adopted grandmother's house, Audrey Hardy, she pulled up, and took Chaeci and Austin in with her, she just walked in because it was her grandmother. "Gram!, Where are you at?" Tia yelled "I'm in here sweetie" she called from the kitchen so Tia went in there, and there was Ethan and Jordan, "I think you know what I've come for, but I don't have time to talk, I have to get back to the house to get Serena and Georgie home." Tia said. "Well let me see my great-grandbabies for a minute" Audrey said. "Why so you can spoil them more, just like you spoiled us?" Tia laughed "Well that's what I'm best at." Audrey said. "Jordan go get your stuff, and get Ethan's too please," Tia said. "Alright." Jordan said. "So did you guys have fun last night?" Tia asked "Yeah, we made cookies, huh Ethan?" Audrey said "Uh-huh" he said. Tia laughed, "Jordan you, and Ethan go get in the car, and I will be out in a sec, Okay" Tia told Jordan, "Okay" Jordan said. So she took Ethan's hand and they went outside, then Tia came out with Austin and Chaeci.
They got back home, and everyone had gotten up, and some of them had taken showers, and Serena, and Georgie was up so Tia had to take them home, because Lucy, and Felicia were both calling the house, Tia, Serena, and Georgie's cell phones. Tia called Lucy "Hey Luce, it's Tia, I'm bringing your daughter home, I am so sorry I didn't have her home earlier, but as you know we had a party last night, and we didn't go to bed til late, and I didn't get up til 11," Tia told Lucy, "Hun, it's okay, no harm done, but no one answers phones, and you start to get scared" Lucy said, "Well I will let you go" Tia said, "Okay, hun, Tah" Lucy said, "Yeah, Tah" Tia said with a funny look on her face, she call Felicia after that and they had about the same conversation. So she took the girls home, "Bye T.L.!" Serena said as she got out of the car, which that is what Serena and Georgie call Tia, "Bye Rena!" Tia and Georgie both yelled, then she took Georgie home.
"Crap, Em, come on we have to go, we are suppose to be meeting them at Kelly's in 5 minutes, and it takes about 10 to get there." Tia yelled. "I'm coming, hold your horses." Emily said. "I can't because I don't have any." Tia shot back. "Well actually you do, because, she is out at the cottage with Sheeba, and Jade." Emily laughed "Just come on we have to go." Tia said. So they got to Kelly's, they walked in "Hey you guys, we've missed you!" Tia said. "Yeah it feels great to be back in our old stomping grounds, huh Aidan," Gia said "Yeah, I'm really glad to see you guys," He said as he got up, and hugged Tia, and Emily. "Well we are so happy that you guys are back, and I think that we have a room at the gatehouse, because I think Summer is moving in with Nikolas, and Mandie might be moving out too, but I'm not for sure" Emily said. "Well Gia tonight, me, Em, Liz, Mandie, Mia, Summer, Alison, and Livvie are going out shopping and to a karaoke place, wanna come?" Tia said "Sure sounds like fun" Gia said
They had already went to the mall, and they were on their way to the karaoke place, which was kinda of a bar, but only part of it, and it also had an arcade, and stuff in it. "Here we are," Tia said as she got out of her Xterra, which was the biggest vehicle so they took it. Everyone got out and walked in there wasn't a lot of people there, so they signed up on this sheet. Tia and Emily were going to sing "Whenever, Wherever" by Shakira, then Mandie and Gia were going sing "Gotta Tell You" by Samantha Mumba, then Mia, Summer, and Liz were going to sing "Everywhere" by Michelle Branch, and Tia and Emily were going to sing one more, and it was "Get Over Yourself (Goodbye)" by Eden's Crush. They called Tia and Emily up there first, and the music started on their cue. Then it was Mandie and Gia, followed by Mia, Summer, and Liz, then last, but not least Emily and Tia again. They stayed there for awhile longer. Afterward, this guy came up to the girls as they walked out the door "Hi, I'm Jim Fauton," he said "and I would like to talk to you two girls" as he pointed at Tia and Emily, and they walked back inside. "As I said before I'm Jim Fauton, and I'm with L&B records" he said not realizing who the girls were. "Well this conversation is over" Emily said, "because my cousin is owner of L&B." With that they both walked off.
The next day Tia saw Ned drive up to the main house, and she told Emily, so since it wasn't that far, the got Chaeci, and Austin and walked up there to talk to Ned. "Ned you need to tell some of your employees who we are because one of them came up to us last night, and started talking to us." Tia said. "Oh, sorry guys." Ned said "Well It's okay, but don't let it happen again." Emily said "I won't, but I do have news, about the music stuff, you know all that stuff you guys had to fill out?" Ned asked "Yeah" Tia and Emily said "Well, you guys got accepted, and we will start recording Monday, and the record should be ready by about April, knowing that you have music ready, and just in time for touring, that is if you are up to it," Ned said "Yeah" Tia said, "of course Emily said. "Great!" Ned said
