Beyoncé

Auditions for my upcoming tour had just taken place so I was now sitting down with Amari and the other recruiters to see who would be picked.

The auditions were recorded so I was able to watch everyone and pick who I wanted.

"I know her." I said as I pointed at the tv. The young girl I saw on instagram was at the auditions, dancing to one of my songs and she killed it.

"Really? She was my favorite of all of them honestly. Quick learner and very passionate about dancing." Amari said with a smile.

"But hiring her may be a little difficult." She added on making me pause the video.

"Why? She perfect for this tour." I asked making her sigh before turning to look at me.

"Well she's only sixteen for one." She began but I cut her off.

"That's no issue, we can work something out with her parents." I rebutted but Amari shook her head.

"She's in foster care, a group home. We'd need guardianship over her." She said softly making me pause in disbelief.

"And before you say anything else, I already talked to a few people about how to go about it and unfortunately you wouldn't be able to be the one with the guardianship. You'd be denied because of your hectic work schedule." She continued making me sigh and close my eyes.

"What's her name?" I asked softly.

"Meoria. She and her friend Samaria came to auditions. They both stay in the same group home." She replied.

"Does her friend dance?" I asked making her shake her head.

"She sings and from what I heard, really beautifully too."

"I need to find someone willing to apply for guardianship over her. I want her on this tour." I urged.

"Maybe Mama Tina will. Or one of your sisters?" Amari said hopefully.

"You know what, let me call her." I said pulling out my phone and facetiming my mother. She answered with in the first few rings with a smile on her face.

"Hi baby how are you today?" She said as she sat down in her rocking chair.

"Hi Mama, I'm doing alright. I just wanted to talk to you about something real quick." I said returning a warm smile as I went into the kitchen.

"No."

"I didn't even ask you anything yet!" I said making her laugh.

"I'm just playing with you Giselle. What can I do for you?"

"Well there's this young girl who came to auditions the other day and I want to hire her on but she's in foster care and I need help getting guardianship over her for the duration of the tour." I explained making her nod.

"I see. That shouldn't be too hard of a job, I can make some calls to some of my friends and see how you can go about it." She replied.

"That's the thing, I don't think they'll approve me because of the tour and how busy I'll be. But I really want her on this tour Mama, she's an incredible dancer and she teaches her own classes even though she's only sixteen." I said making her hum.

"Well the circumstances may be different since you'll be her employer. This is really a question for Angie, you know she use to be a social worker.  But do you have any videos of her dancing?" She asked making me nod.

"Yeah let me share my screen." I said before clicking the little button on the screen to display my phone on hers.

I went to instagram and logged into my spam page, going over to Meoria's page to show my mom some videos of her dancing. She began smiling as she watched before nodding her head.

"Yeah she's wonderful, I see why you want her on this tour." She said making me nod in agreement as I ended the sharing.

"So do you think I should go about all the legal steps before offering her the job?" I asked.

"I say contact her and tell her that you want her on the tour, but that you need her case worker's information so you can get temporary custody over her for the tour. I'm sure she would understand that no matter what the outcome is. Though I pray that messed up system works in your favor." She replied making me nod.

"Okay I'm going to do that now but if it's not able to be me with the guardianship would you consider it? I really just need someone to hold that title, plus you'll be on tour with me anyway." I said putting on my best puppy eyes making her laugh.

"If anything you should be asking your sisters about that, not me. They'll be with you too." She said making me groan.

"Okay, I guess I'll call those bald headed heifers first." I said making her laugh even louder.

"Bye Beyoncé." She said with a smile.

"Bye Mommy, talk to you later." I said before hanging up and calling my sister groupchat.

Kelly and Michelle both connected at the same time, greeting me with wide smiles.

"Well look what the cat drug in!" Michelle exclaimed making me laugh.

"Not too much on me Belle." I said as Solange connected into the call, smoking of course.

"Hello to you too Snoop Jr." Kelly said making Solange side eye her.

"Give a bitch a chance to speak, damn." She replied as she put her joint out.

"Anyways, I was calling you all because I need some advice." I said grabbing their attention.

"Easy. Just leave his ass." Solange said making me roll my eyes.

"This is not about Shawn's dry lipped ass. There's this dancer that I want to hire for the tour but she's sixteen and in foster care. I just need help figuring out how to go about this guardianship thing because I'm nervous they'll deny me." I said making them all nod in understanding.

"She must be a really good dancer if you're willing to go through all that." Kelly said making the other two hum in agreement.

"She is. Look." I said as I flipped the camera and started Meoria's audition tape from the beginning.

"Okay period!! She did that!" Kelly said once the video was over.

"Ate that up no crumbs!" Solange added on making Michelle and I laugh.

"She is really good. I see why you're so adamant about finding a way to hire her." Michelle said making me nod.

"And she's already done so much for her to be sixteen. She teaches the dance group Blue has been wanting to join and y'all know how clean they are." I said making them 'Oouu'.

"Yeah you definitely need to hire her. You want me to apply as her guardian for the tour?" Michelle asked.

"Would you really do that for me?" I asked with a pout.

"Of course I would Bey. I'm traveling with you anyway so I need to pitch in where I can." She replied making me smile.

"This is why you're my favorite." I said making Kelly and Solange groan.

"Oh brother this guy STINKS!" Solange yelled making us laugh.

"Don't hate Solo. Anyways, come over when you're free so we can learn and go over the process. I have to call her and let her know about the whole process." I said making her nod.

"What's her name?" Kelly asked.

"It's Meoria."

"That's a cute name. Let me jot that down if I ever have a girl." Kelly said acting like she was taking notes.

"Sounds like Oreo. Meorio." Solo said making me stale face her.

"If you don't get yo high ass on." I said as they all laughed. We soon bid each other goodbye before I sat back and took a minute to myself. 

Hopefully this all works out.
