The band meets and opinions are divided to say the least

_"In the words of the virgin mary, will you please repeat that again?. I think i have something in my ear" _The words from Laura was smoldering with sarcasm

Lise had just presented the offer that she had obtained for the band. And needless to say, the short and fiery drummer wasn't having any of it.

"We aren't exactly an holier than thou kind of band. But such a dramatic change in appearance will backfire surely" Laura continued "Also. Remember the goodwill we earned from that relief organization after recording a single? Not to mention our support in the equality movement. All that would be in vain if we jump on this cash in."

She did have a very valid point there, thought Sophie . Unknown had worked extremely hard to achieve their reputation on the music circuit. They had toured unceasingly.

"_Here is the thing" _said Lise sincerely "If we move on like usual, then this is the peak of what we can achive with Unknown. There isn't really any opportunity for progress in the current climate. We would be treading the same waters over and over".

Sophie looked at Laura who were rolling with her eyes. They all knew that music never had been making them a lot of money. They got by with small profits, whenever they met up and had their annual accounting day. But to say that they were living large from their music was a mild exaggeration

Sophie could tell that Laura wasn't going to change her opinion. And Lise seemed to be on the opposite side. No matter what, someone would be unhappy with the outcome of a possible vote

"Girls" Sophie began "I'm torn in this situation. Laura made some really good points. But so did Lise and i'm.... not sure. Sophie could feel that it became harder and harder to hold back the tears. On the outside, all three girls could appear very tough and independent. But as with most people, they were equally emotionally ****. And for Sophie that showed right now.
