"Did we get any letters from you-know-who?" Tara asked eagerly.
"Let's see..." Sara said as she flipped through the mail. "Junk, junk, mom, dad, YES!!!"
"Oh my gosh! You're kidding!" said Tara in shock. "How many?"
"Three. Wait a sec! Three? I thought we only sent a demo tape to 2 companies. Right?"
"Yeah, that's what I thought," replied Tara. "Well, let's see what they say!"
Each of the sisters took one letter to open.
"This one's from Jive Records, and it says..." Kara scanned the letter. "No!! Listen, guys! 'We regret to inform you that we have not accepted you to Jive Records.'"
"Oh, well," Tara said. "We still have 2 more to read. Okay, this one is from Arista." She read the letter quickly, and the hopeful look on her face disappeared. "Oh, man. They didn't accept us either! Well, there's still one more. What does yours say, Sara?"
"Well, it's from-" she broke off as she looked again at the name. "It's from Columbia. Now I know we didn't send anything to Columbia, so where did this come from?" She glared at Kara.
"Yes, I sent it. I want more than anything to work with Mariah, and you guys know that!"
"But we agreed that we wouldn't send anything to Columbia or to Mercury!"
"You guys, CUT IT OUT!!! It's done, and there's nothing any of us can do about it, so please just open it!"
Sara opened the letter. "'We are sorry to have to say this, but we cannot sign you. We have too many artists signed as it is. Under different circumstances, we would have been glad to sign you.' Well, I guess you won't be working with Mariah after all."
"Sara, that was uncalled for!" Tara said angrily. "It's your opportunity lost, too."
"I'm sorry, Kara. I'm just in a bad mood right now."
"That's okay. We all are."
