Nashville Nights by Tracey West Page A

show tonight was amazing,” Hope said. “And I’m glad you like ‘Nothing Like a Sister.’ It’s the reason why we wanted to talk to you.”
    Faith nodded. “I know this is short notice, but we would love for you both to be in the video for the song. I don’t know how long you plan to be in town for, but we’re going to be shooting tomorrow. We need to have the video done by next Sunday night for the National Music Awards. It’s going to premiere then.”
    â€œWow, that’s a big deal,” AJ said. Practically everybody in the country tuned in to the National Music Awards every year to watch singers and bands get honored for their songs and CDs. The hottest acts in music gave live performances between awards. And every year, the show aired a video from one up-and-coming act. Faith and Hope were lucky to have been chosen. Millions of people would see their video.
    â€œSince the song is all about sisters, we decided to invite other sister music acts to be in the video with us,” Hope added. “It would be real amazing if you two could do it.”
    Aly and AJ looked at each other, and their sister intuition kicked in. They both knew what the other was thinking.
    â€œWe would love to be in your video,” Aly said with a big grin on her face. “It sounds like a lot of fun. Are any other sister acts besides us in the video?”
    Faith’s eyes sparkled mischievously. “We’re waiting to hear from two really famous sisters. I’d tell you, but I don’t want to jinx it. Plus, if they agree, it’ll be a real surprise.”
    â€œOoh, I like surprises,” Aly said. She looked at AJ. “What do you say?”
    â€œI love the idea of a sister-themed video,” AJ answered. “We don’t have to leave for our gig until Sunday, so we’ve got almost a whole week to spend here anyway. Let’s go for it!”
    Faith clapped her hands together. “Wonderful!” she exclaimed. “We’ll give all the details to Jim.”
    â€œNow how about letting us take you out for dinner tonight?” Hope asked. “When you come to Nashville, you’ve got to try some hot chicken!”
    â€œHot like hot in temperature, or hot and spicy?” Aly asked.
    â€œHot and spicy!” Faith said. “And we know the best place for it.”
    â€œI don’t know,” AJ said apprehensively. “Spicy doesn’t always agree with me.”
    Hope laughed as she linked her arm through AJ’s. “Don’t worry—they’ve got mild, too. Let’s go. You’ll love Nashville at night!”

CHAPTER TWO:
    SISTER SENSATIONS
    â€œMusic Row!” Jim said as he drove Aly and AJ through Nashville the next morning. “The home of country music.”
    AJ looked up from the guidebook of Nashville she was reading. “It says here that Music Row is the heart of Nashville’s music industry. It is home to record labels, recording studios, video production houses, and radio stations,” she said.
    Aly took a large gulp from the coffee she was holding in her hand. “I need caffeine this morning. We got to bed a little late, although I’m glad we went out with Faith and Hope.”
    â€œWe have so much in common,” AJ said. “They’ve both been singing since they were little, just like us. And we like a lot of the same music, too. It will be a blast to shoot this video with them.”
    Aly nodded. “I know we just met them, but it’s like we’ve known them forever, right?”
    Jim pulled up to a large brick building. The sign on the front read NASHVILLE STAR STUDIOS.
    â€œThis is the place,” Jim said. “I’ll pick you guys up later. Have fun!”
    Aly and AJ hopped out of the car and were greeted by Faith and Hope, who had walked out to welcome them.
    â€œHey!” Faith called. “Long time no see!”
    â€œWe are going to have
