~Jamal's POV~

We Walked Into My Dad's House. Anika Was About To Say Something To My Mother About Her Just Coming In There But Cookie Quickly Shut Her Down.

"BooBoo Kitty Please Don't Come For Me Right Now" She Said Looking Anika Up And Down. "Now Where Is Lucious. Lucious!" Cookie Yelled Through The House.

"He's Talking With Andre, Hakeem, And Vernon About The Leviticus Opening" Anika Said Standing In Front If The Door Leading To The Sitting Room In Their Mansion.

"Well That's The Meeting I Need To Be In" She Said Staring Anika Down. "Excuse Mee BooBoo Kitty" She Said

Anika Moved From The Door But Not Before She Said "You Can Go In Their But Hakeem Is Going To Open Up Leviticus" She Smiled At Cookie "But You Can Still Try" She Said Opening The Door And Stepping In.

"Lucious We Need To Talk. Look I Know You Want Hakeem To Open Up Leviticus But Don't You Think The Media Would Love It If They Both Open Up The Show." Cookie Said Walking In The Room And Getting Right In My Father's Face.

"Cookie We've Talked About This... I Am Not Letting Jamal Open Up. Not Because He's Gay But Because His Music Just Isn't Right To Set The Tone" Lucious Said Walking Away From Cookie.

"Look Lucious-"

"It's Fine Cookie. If He Wants To Let Hakeem Open Up The Show Let Em. He's Using Up All The Trick That His One Trick Pony Has." I Said Walking Out The Room. I Was So Tired Of Asking My Dad Foe A Spot To Show My Talent. I Was Done.

"Jamal Wait" Cookie Said

"Hakeem Go Check On Your Brother" Lucious Said.

I Didn't Want Anybody Checking On Me. I Stormed Into The Kitchen And Sat Down On One Of The Stools. I Hated Letting My Father Get To Me.

~Cartiér's POV~

Hakeem Ran Out The Room To Go Get Jamal. Lucious Paced The Room Back And Forth. Obviously Irritated.

"Lucious-" Cookie Began

"Cookie There's Nothing Else To Talk About"

"Oh Yes There Is." She Said. "What Are We Going To Do With Cartiér? She's Young And Fresh. She Has A Large Fan Base And I Think If She Performs At Leviticus That Will Get Some Good Buzz For Empire" Cookie Said

"That Is A Good Idea Cookie. But Does She Have Any New Music?" Lucious Said Looking At Me

"No" I Spoke Up

"Leviticus Is In 2 Days. If She Doesn't Have A Song That I Approve Of By Then." Lucious Said Staring Directly At Me. "She Cannot Perform"

"Lucious. I Promise You She Will Have A Single By The Opening" Cookie Said Grabbing Her Purse. "Come On Child. Let's Go" She Said Waving Her Hand For Me To Come Along.

~Subrina's POV~

So Today After The Meeting My Sister Megan And I S

began looking For Apartments For My Sister Cartiér To Live In. We Found A Nice Loft That Was Fully Furnished. It Was For The Low. We Had To Get It. We Were Going To Suprise My Sister By Bringing Her Daughter Malani Up Here And Moving Her Into The Loft. Then We Were Going To Have Her Meet Us Out For Dinner With Malani There And She Was Going To Be So Suprised. I Picked Up The Phone And Called Cookie To See If She Wanted To Join Us. "Hey Cookie. We Were Planning To Throw A Suprise Dinner For Cartiér Tonight. We Were Going To Bring Her Daughter In And Suprise Her" I Said

"I Have An Even Better Idea" Cookie Said. "She Won't Even Be Expecting It"

What Do You Guys Think Will Happen??
