Ashley's POV

Leigh was still fuming when we met back up with the guys. We had all changed and Audrey and I had dried our hair. Her hair looked awesome while mine looked like a little…off. Annette had changed into a dress (she's such a girlie girl!), Audrey had changed into a pair of shorts and a nice shirt (she NEVER wears dresses or skirts! EVER!), Leigh was wearing sweats (she REALLY didn't want to be here!) and I was wearing a pair of shorts with my favorite t-shirt.

The guys all looked nice (did they ever look bad?). They smiled as we walked closer.

"Hey guys." I smiled back at them. "So…is someone driving or do you all have your own limos?" I teased.

"Kelly's coming to pick us up, we'll ask her if she can take you too." Kendall offered. Leigh scowled.

"She's still a little upset." Audrey explained and the boys nodded.

"So are you all excited?" James asked moving to stand next to me.

"No not at all." I said, then quickly added a 'Just Kidding' so I didn't seem cocky.

"Are you sure Gustavo won't be busy?" Audrey asked nervously. She had googled him while we were getting ready and apparently he had anger issues.

"Positive. It's not like he ever works anyway." Kendall joked.

"And that's why Gustavo hates you." Logan said.

"He doesn't hate me, I'm the fire. Remember?"

"Um…what?" Annette asked looking at him like he had grown two heads.

"It's a long story." He told her.

"…So…"

"SHUT UP!" Everyone shouted at once. About that time, a limo pulled up and a petite African-American woman stepped out.

"Hey guys, I was just coming to get you… Who are you all?" She asked, being friendly. I guessed she was Kelly.

"This is Ashley, Annette, Audrey, and Leigh. They're in a band and we thought that maybe Gustavo could sign them?" James asked hopefully.

"I'm sorry guys, but Gustavo has enough stress with you four. I really don't think we could add another band to that right now, sorry." She apologized. I looked at James with a small glare. He had really let us down!

"Please? I promise we'll all work extra hard!" He swore.

"No. Not right now." Kelly said forcefully. She sounded like my mom.

"Why-"

"I already told you! Now, we've got to go to rehearsals. Tell the nice girls goodbye." She said, getting back into the limo. The boys all turned to us.

"Look, we'll talk to Gustavo -" Kendall started, but Leigh interrupted him.

"I knew you all couldn't do it! Now, leave us alone!" She shouted, stomping off. Audrey and Annette followed her, but less angrily. I started to go too, but James grabbed my arm.

"We're really sorry." He said.

"That's fine and all, but sorry isn't going to get us a record deal." I said, pulling away. I walked back to the elevator with my girls and watched as Leigh slammed her hand into the two button.

Later we were planning on going to another record company. This one was called Hawk Records and it sounded okay. Most of the music was pop, but maybe they would sign our rock meets pop sound. We could only hope.

The building was HUGE! And it was really nice too. The secretary acted like they had been expecting us and lead us into this (huge and nice!) modern room with a man sitting behind a desk. He stared at us for a second then stood up. He poked Leigh's arms (to which she growled), looked at Audrey's face, poked Annette's stomach, then kicked my knee. I screamed and the glared at him. He turned back to his secretary.

"Oh yes, they'll do quite nicely."

"But you haven't even heard us." Annette said.

"Oh that's not necessary. Unlike Gustavo, I can just spot talent." He said, returning to his seat. "I'm Mr. Hawk, but just call me Hawk." Hawk told us. Did he have a first name? If not, that's kind of creepy.

"We're-" Audrey started to tell him our names, but he interrupted her.

"The artists formally know as Audrey, Leigh, Ashley, and Annette. But now you need new names! You need something different! Something new! You," He pointed at Annette. "are now Cleo because it's exotic like you!" Annette's tan, so I guess he just assumed she's foreign or something. "Aud babe, you're going to be Phoebe because it just fit's the new you. Leigh, you'll be Cora. It's an oldie sounding name, but you'll bring it back. And you, Ashley. You will be Cami. Nicknames for names is very in now." Was this guy serious? And how did he find out all of our names?

"Sorry, but I don't wanna change my name…" I said, Hawk narrowed his eyes at me and 'cawed' at me.

"Then I guess you don't want to be signed."

"We do!" Audrey/Phoebe said. She looked at me and I knew she really wanted this. They all did, so I caved.

"Fine." Audrey/Phoebe and Annette/Cleo let out cheers of happiness while Leigh/Cora nodded her approval.

"Good girl, Cami. Now, we need new wardrobes for you girls, a band name -"

"We're the Monday Night Losers." Audrey interrupted, smiling at me. I had come up with our band name one Monday night when I was bored and at Audrey's house. Since then, it kinda stuck. "MNL for short."

"Yes, but that was the old you. Not the new you! Anyway, you need to learn how to convincingly lip-sync and how to dance. Now, any questions?"

"I'm not lip-syncing!" Leigh/Cora growled.

"Cora, baby! It's all about appearance! I know you can sing, just some others might not be able too!" He said, looking at the rest of us.

"I can't dance." I told him honestly.

"Oh I'm sure you can if you tried." He said, beginning to consult with his assistant.

"Be back here tomorrow by three, then we'll start the creation of The Glitter Gals! You all will be big! HUGH!" He said, walking away. Hawk's assistant showed us out and got us a taxi.

"I don't know about this guys! He seems weird! How did he know who we are? And what's up with the new names? Also, The Glitter Gals? What the heck?" I ranted, feeling nervous.

"It'll be fine, Ash. Trust me! He probably heard about us from another record label and he just wants us to be different. Everything will work out, I promise!" Annette tried to assure me, but I could tell all three of them were having second thoughts.

Sorry I haven't written in awhile. But to make up for it, I'm posting two chapters today. I'm almost done with this short story and I'm not sure if I should do a sequel. What do you think? REVIEW! Please?
