The Real Jem and The Hologram movie.

Chapter Two - Going to become a band.

Chapter Two.

It was that afternoon, when Kimber arrived home from school. The red head placed her school bag down at the table, went to the fridge and got out the orange juice. She shook it hard before she grabbed herself a glass and poured herself eight ounces. She noticed Jerrica standing at the frame of the door. "Afternoon, Jerrica."

"Did you do okay at school?" asked Jerrica, as she entered the kitchen to grab an apple from the fruit bowl.

"Yes, but I do have home work as usual. I just wish they wouldn't put so much on us each night. It goes into the time I set aside in the evening for writing music. Aja and Shana are practicing with their instruments in the garage and they're sounding really good. They even love the lyrics that I wrote, sis. I think if you got up to the microphone and sang . . . I believe we could even have ourselves a band of our own!" Kimber said, as she rinsed out her glass and put it in the dishwasher.

Jerrica watched as her sister grabbed her school bag and headed out of the kitchen. She stood there thinking about what her sister said. She had to really consider this very seriously as being a singer would mean traveling everywhere for tours, she knew Mrs. Bailey could handle the girls but it would mean taking Kimber out of her last year in high school to go on tour. "I couldn't do that to Kimber."

"Do what to Kimber?" asked Aja, as she entered the kitchen with Shana behind her.

Jerrica blushed knowing that she was overheard by them. "It's nothing, Aja."

Shana smiled. "It's nothing right. You were thinking about forming a band, weren't you, Jerrica?"

She looked at them both and sighed. "Yes, but right now it is not the time for it. Kimber is still in school and I couldn't yank her out of school for a tour, Shana."

"I'm sure she'll be able to handle it since there is no school on the weekends, Jerrica." Aja informed her.

"Well, I'll have to think about it. It's also my life too." Jerrica replied.

"Well, do think about it and think hard about it. Come on, Shana, we got to practice." Aja said, as she and Shana went to the garage to practice leaving Jerrica alone in the kitchen.

Jerrica knew she could do it but she didn't have the confidence to sing in front of people. She didn't have the courage to get up there and sing only to have people boo her off the stage. She headed for her office to get the paper work done and she jotted down a note to remind herself to call the bank tomorrow morning to see about the money that Eric promised her to put into Starlight House's checking account. She glanced over at the frame of a blond haired woman and a brown haired man with two girls sitting in front of them. 'Dad, should I form a band to help out with the finances for Starlight House or depend on Starlight Music to help us? I do not know what to do, dad. I wish you were here, now, dad I need your wisdom.'

She didn't notice the small box that was on her desk as she looked at the picture frame. She heard the sound of the bus pulling up to the house. She scooted out of the chair and headed for the front door as the girls arrived home from school.

The girls hurried into the house and greeted her before they headed off to the kitchen to greet Mrs. Bailey who was fixing an afternoon snack for the girls to eat before they got to work on their homework.

The rest of the night went off without a problem as Jerrica gazed towards the night sky before she headed off to bed like the rest of the house.

The next morning after sending the girls off to school, Jerrica sat down in her chair and looked at all the bills that she had to tend to. She called the bank and gave the teller the bank account to make sure that she had enough funds to pay them all. She looked at the phone in shock. "Can you repeat that please?"
