"My name is Thomas Fray," he handed his hand wants to shake. He shakes each of us. "I was really amazed by your performance. And it's surprising me that Space Note is still alive. I have heard about you and your disbanding. And you, you must be the new member?" he looked at Jacob.

"Yeah. I'm new," Jacob said, nodding.

He smiled. "I also heard that you try to make a comeback after almost two years disbanding," three of us except Jacob nodded. "Good. Can we meet tomorrow afternoon at the cafe near the train station?" He continued.

"Yes. Of course," Cora answered.

"Make sure four of you make it," he smiled before he left the room with the producer.

***

As promised, as we arrived at the cafe, the man who introduced himself as Thomas already there waiting for us. He smiled when he saw us approaching him.

He shakes hand with four of us. "Take a seat," he said. "I forgot to give you guys this," he reached out his pocket and let out a small transparent box and lift the lid. "Here. Take this," he give each of us his name card.

Thomas Curd Fray
Producer two of AYG Entertainment.

We looked at each other. More questions played on our mind.

"Two? What is producer two?" Victoria suddenly broke the silent.

Thomas chuckled. "In AYG, we have five producer. So, I'm the second. Last night, the one who enter the room with me is the fifth. The newest. He's still in process of learning," four of us nodded understand.

"Oh yeah. Why are you suddenly want to meet us?" Cora said.

"Well, I didn't introduce myself formally last night," he coughed a little and straighten up his sitting posture. "I really love your performance and I think everyone too," he smiled.

"And?" Jacob impatiently asked him.

"And I would love to make your dream come true,"

"How?" This time, I impatiently asked him.

"By joining AYG Entertainment," he smiled. "If you're interested, come to AYG Entertainment HQ and we'll discuss there," he said. "Call me if you agreed and I'll arrange an appointment," he smiled and left the cafe.

"Soooo," Victoria looked each of us simultaneously.

"What do you think?" Cora said.

"Well, what about you?" I asked Cora.

"Up to you. I'm okay with that," she smiled.

"How about you, Vic?" I looked at Victoria.

"Well, I'm in. That's our opportunities by the way. So, why not?" She grinned.

"How about you Jacob?" I looked at him.

"Me?" He pointed his index finger towards himself. "I'll followed the majority,"

"How about you, Nat?" Cora asked.

The building was beautiful. Four of us amazed by the beautifulness. A woman leads us into a meeting room. As she opened the door, there's Thomas waiting inside with a guy sitting next to him.

"Take a seat," he smiled and welcomed us. "This is Jake Gyllerd. He's my assistant," Jake reached out his hand and shake four of us.

"I'm glad that you guys come," he smiled. "Shall we start?" He asked.

"Of course," Cora answered.

"Let me explain everything. First, if you really want to join AYG Entertainment, you have to sign a few contracts which will lead you to have at least 6 years contract with AYG. Secondly, you'll need a manager and it's up to you whether you want to look on your own or we can provide it for you. Thirdly, we'll have regular schedule. You come for practice, recording and everything. Forth, we'll provide home tutor for you which mean you have to quit school. Fifth, you will have to move to dorm we have provide for you. You'll be staying there for at least three years before we give you your own studio. Last but not least, we will be needed of having your personal information," he smiled.

Four of us looked at each other. We just need to sign the contract and puff, our dream to make a comeback one step closer.

"Can we discuss it? Privately," Cora said.

"Yeah. Sure. Of course," he allowed us left the meeting room for awhile.

***

"We're so near to accomplish our mission," Cora said.

I nodded. "It is. What say you?" I looked Jacob and Victoria simultaneously.

***

We get in the room. Took a seat.

"And?" He asked. Looked at four of us simultaneously.

"We would love to," Cora smiled.

"That's great," he smiled. "Jake, give me the documents," Jake reached out the documents. "Oh wait. How about manager?" He raised a brow.

"We'll handle that," I said before Cora could even answered.

"Okay," he puts the documents in front of us. Pointing where we should be signing.

***

"Who do you think should be our manager?" Jacob asked breaking the silent in the car.

"How about Miss Beck?" I turned around as I was at the front seat.

"Miss Beck? We haven't heard from her for awhile," Victoria rubbed her eyes.

"Let's go and find her," I said.

"Are you crazy?! She must be somewhere in New York! Hiding herself. After we split up, I never heard any news from her," Cora yelled at me.

"If you won't, I will," I said.

***

A few knock in the door make me startled. I was lying on my bed hearing to Space Note songs.

"Yes?" I presses the pause button.

Jacob opened the door and stand against the door frame looking at me. "Can I come in?" I nodded. He took a seat at the end of my bed.

"What is it?" I put my phone away and from lying, I change to sitting. Leaning against the bed frame.

"I need to know more about Space Note. You know. Since I'm new," he grinned.

"I think you should ask Cora about -"

"I've ask her and she said the founder of Space Note was you," he pointed his index finger to me.

I release a small sigh. "It's true. To be accurate, it was Trisha and I,"

"Trisha and you?" He raised a brow.

"Yes. Trisha and her. Both of them were friends ever since kindergarten," Victoria and Cora come in to the room.

"Really? Wow!"

"Yes. Trisha and I were friends since kindergarten. But, when my family had to move to Japan, we both lost contact. But, when my family move back to New York, her family had move to other neighborhood. But, we meet again in elementary school. From there, Trisha and I met Vic and Cora. We both know each other because we're in the same club, music club. Miss Beck was the club teacher. From there, we decide to form a band called Space Note,"

"Why Space Note?" Jacob asked frowned.

"Because, four of us have the same dream which is becoming an astronout. That's why we chose Space. Note symbolize the music note," Cora explained.
