Two Weeks Later…
D- Sues Recording Studios:
"Now that we've talked about this contract, I'm sure your parents would like to go over it before we sign you," Darius said.
"Why the hell should my parents' come; they HATE music!" Anna- Rita shouted.
"Are you sure that your parents don't like music?"
"I've lived with them my WHOLE life; I think I'd know…"
"Right. What about you kids?" Darius asked to the Andrews clan.
"Uh… Do we have to bring 'em?" Marta whined.
"Company policy!" Darius said all to chirpily.
"Okay, then let's bring my Mom!" Marta said taking charge.
"Why should we bring your Mom?" Rocky challenged.
"Well there are two of us, and one of you!"
"Need I remind you that your mom strongly dislikes music?"
"And your point is… this is about me; not her"
"Hey!" Anna- Rita butt in, "this is about US!"
"Okay, whatever!" Marta said, not really caring much about what the others' said.
"Sorry to interrupt… but, we suggest that as many parents as possible be present," Liam stated.
The Andrews' kids all groaned.
Quincy House 5PM:
"Mom! Dad! Hurry your little ass' up!"
"Language Ari; Language!" Tommy shouted.
"What?" Anna- Rita asked.
"Language!"
"Chill your little buttons out!"
"March your little bum upstairs and get them!
"Bu---" Anna- Rita tried to protest.
"Now!"
A minute later Anna- Rita appeared back down stairs.
"Okay. So, can we go noooow?" Anna- Rita said anxiously.
"We're waiting for your mother and brother. Where is your brother anyways?"
"He's probably on a date; breaking a girls heart; again."
"Be nice," Tommy warned.
"Fine," Anna- Rita mumbled.
Just then Jude appeared in the doorway…
"Guys, I don't feel so well… I think I'm gonna skip…"
"But Mom! This is like the biggest thing of my life!"
"I'm sure you'll do better with- out me…"
"Thanks Mom. Come on; let's get out of here Dad…" Anna- Rita said sadly.
Outside D- Sues Recording Studios:
"Uh… Ari are you sure that this is the right place?" Tommy asked pulling up in his Viper.
"Yeah Dad"
"What did you say this place was called again?"
"D- Sues; Why?"
"No reason." Tommy said parking the viper.
"Okay…"
D- Sues Recording Studios:
"God, this reminds of Darius' decorating!" Tommy said under his breath.
"Darius? Do you know a Darius, Dad?" Anna- Rita asked.
"No, Ari."
Anna- Rita knew what her dad said; he talked of Darius Mills; owner of D- Sues.
'What won't he tell me?" Anna- Rita wondered to herself, as she entered D- Sues, and was greeted by her band- mates.
D- Sues:
"Hey girl!" Anna- Rita was greeted by Marta.
"Hey Marta!"
"You ready to do this thing?"
"Ready as I'll ever be!"
"My Dad's here, though…" Marta grumbled
"Oh, sorry,"
Meanwhile…
'Jamie?' Tommy wondered to himself.
"Hey 'Lil Tommy Q.!" Jamie shouted. "How're you 'treatin my best friend?"
"Best friend?"
"Friend who've I've known forever!" Jamie corrected himself.
"Speaking of the devil, where is she?" Jamie asked Tommy.
"Home, James" Anna-Rita interrupted.
"Ari..." Jamie said with a warning like tone.
"That's Anna-Rita to you, James"
"James? Since when is it not Jamie?"
Anna- Rita ignored Jamie as a woman walked into the room…
"Mr. Mills will be with you now," A blonde woman said.
Anna- Rita gave the woman a good look. She recognized the woman.
"Aunt Sades, is that you?" Anna- Rita questioned.
"Ari? Hey! How's my favorite niece doing?" Sadie questioned embracing her niece in a hug.
Sadie gave Tommy over Anna- Rita's shoulder, as if to ask 'What's going on? Should I say something?'
Tommy's hands were in his jeans pockets, and he shrugged his shoulders, and mouthed 'no!' back to Sadie.
"Alright then!" Sadie exclaimed releasing her grip from her niece. "I've got to go, now!"
"Where's Johnny?" Marta asked suddenly.
"He's not here!" Sadie said quickly, giving Anna- Rita a quick kiss on the head, and booting out of the door.
"That was awkward…" Jamie noted.
The rest of the people in the room remained speechless.
Darius Mill's Office:
James, Marta, Rocky, Anna- Rita all sat on a couch together in Darius' office. Their parents Jamie, Tommy, Patsy, and Kat all sat across from them.
They had been waiting for a few minutes mingling when Liam walked in…
"Hello mates! How are you today?" Liam asked waltzing into the office.
Tommy was just about to respond when he recognized the man.
"Liam?" Tommy asked.
"Who the bloody hell are---" Liam cut himself off. "Tom Quincy?"
"Apparently"
"And… is that Jamie Andrews and … Patsy Sewer?" Liam laughed. "Boy this really is a small world"
"That's… quaint," Tommy replied looking away at a poster on the wall.
"How small?" Anna- Rita asked.
