disclaimer I do not own instant star

The next morning Tommy and Jude sat in Darius's office waiting for the big cheese himself to appear. Jude was nervous she had been fidgeting all morning. She couldn't focus on anything already this morning she had managed to burn her pop tarts, put her shirt on inside out and totally tune Tommy out every time he spoke to her. She wasn't quite sure why she was so nervous. Maybe because possibly after today she would no longer have a contract with G major, the label that launched her career. The place she called her second home might not exist after today. And what about her career she still had Jamie's offer but wasn't so sure where that stood now that she had chosen Tommy. She was getting anxious and paced the room for the tenth time.

Tommy: Jude you have to calm down everything is going to be ok.

Jude: Is it Tommy I mean what if after today there is no more G major.

Darius: Well I certainly like to think G major will be around tomorrow.

Jude: D.

Tommy: Morning D.

Darius: Well I see you two made it in and on time for once. Please take a seat. Well I suppose your wondering why I have called you in.

Tommy: We missed our flight to Thailand for this of course we are wondering.

Darius: The board has decided to let me run G major again with a few conditions. Tommy that's where you come in I'm appointing you VP.

Tommy: Wow D thanks I don't know what to say.

Darius: No need to thank me you earned it. And Jude as our number one artist I have decided to renew your contract for another 5 albums following the completion of your third.

Jude: That's great D thank you so much.

Darius: Thought you might like it. Jude if you see Cassandra out front she has your contract already. I understand if you need to get it looked over first.

Jude: I'm sure it will be fine though D.

As Jude walked out of Darius's office she couldn't help but feel on top of the world. She had a new contract, her label was open again and she was with Tommy. But she couldn't help feel that something bad was surely heading her way.

Tommy: Why do I feel like there is some bad news coming D.

Darius: First off let me say thank you for everything agreeing to testify for Portia and helping me out man you don't know how much it means.

Tommy: I didn't do it for you or Portia I did it for Jude. Her music means everything to her and she means everything to me.

Darius: Tom this new promotion means new responsibilities and changes. Instant star 4 is about to kick off soon and I'm going to need you to help out with that. As well as producing the winners album.

Tommy: I'm not sure I'm getting where this is going.

Darius: Tom you're going to be so busy being VP that you're not going to have time to work on Jude's album.

Tommy: What D I will find time me and Jude are a team you can't just break us up. Who's going to produce her I mean her and Kwest have already tried it before and it didn't work.

Darius: I'm sorry Tom but I need someone with the time and patience to work with Jude. It's no going to be Kwest. I'm bringing in some one new. She has had a lot of experience and has worked with artists like Timberland, Fergie, Beyonce and many more. I'd like you to meet our new producer I'm sure you have met her before.

Before Tommy can open his mouth the doors to office open with a blast for the past staring him straight in the eye.

????: Well well Quincy long time no see.
