'Brian! What are you doing in my room?'
Nick yells.
'I'm just looking for the magazine I borrowed you. You were supposed to give it back, but
if you don't, I have to look for it in your mess.' Brian says back angry. This isn't the
first fight between them this day. The tention between the boys was very big. All because
they have been with each other every day for more than three years now. Although the
Backstreet Boys aren't supposed to see each other the next three months, they still run in
to each other, because they live in the same house.
'Sorry.' Nick says,'but it's just that I'm seeing Nathalie tonight and I just can't find
the things I'm looking for.'
'It doesn't matter.' Brian replies,'I'm not in my best mood too, cause Ashley called
things off for tonight.'
'Which Ashley?' Nick asks, 'Pea or little Ash?'
'Pea, she can't come over tonight, because she has to have dinner with some people from
work.'
'Girlfriends are not everything.' Nick says.
'You're right about that.' Brian confirms.At the same time Kevin is downstairs with Megan, his best friend.
'Wow, hear them fighting.' Megan says.
'As usual.' Kevin tells her.
'It's really amazing how many fights people can have on one day. This isn't their first
one.' 'Will you be seeing Cecilia tonight?' Megan asks.
'Yeah, probably.' Kevin answers.
'Too bad.' Megan says,'Other wise we could have gone to catch a movie.'
'Sorry, but CC is coming over and I can't let her down.' Kevin tells Megan. That's what's
killing Megan. Always Cecilia, but what about her? Doesn't she count anymore? At the meanwhile at Howie's parental
house, Howie has a big discussion with his sister. 'How can you be in love with AJ?' Howie
says in a loud voice,'You don't even know what love is, you're too young for love. And why
AJ?'
'Well.' Jackie says,'He just has such a cute face and he's always so nice to me. Actually
I think he likes me too.'
'He likes you too!' Howie says, now almost yelling,'How can he like you? He has a
girlfriend and he's very happy with Felissa. If I were you, I would stop 'loving' him,
cause you don't stand a chance!'
'How do you know?' Jackie says angry and she walks away.
'Oh my god, my little sister has a crush on my mate AJ. How can this be possible?' Howie
says to himself. And if this all isn't enough
fighting, AJ also is having a fight with his girlfriend Felissa.
'Why are you seeing Rachael again?' Felissa asks,'She's just your former dancer. I know
that you are friends, but this the third time you see her this week. It seems like you're
more interested in her than in me.
'You know that's not true.' AJ says in his sweetest voice,'I love you and no one can
change that.' 'I think.' AJ says to himself.
At Nathalie's house the door bell rings.
Nathalie opens the door and she sees Kylie, Allison and Sarah standing in front of her and
she asks:
'Guys, what are you doing here?'
'We were going to have dinner with you, don't you remember?' Sarah, Nick's sister, says.
'You were?' Nathalie replies,'I'm so sorry, but I totally forgot! I'm going to have dinner
with your brother, Sar. I'm so, so sorry.'
'You forgot?' Allison asks,'That's so you!'
'Please come in.' Nathalie says,'can't you come back another time?'
'Well, we can, but if you don't mind, we can also come with you to Nick's place.' Kylie,
Nick's best friend, says.
'That would be a good solution.' Allison agrees. She looks at her best friend and she
notices that Nathalie doesn't think this is a good idea, so she says:
'Or you two guys can have dinner at my home.'
'Alright, that's fine with me.' Sarah says,'I already see Nick almost every day at home,
since he's back from touring.'
'Thanks so much.' Nathalie whispers to Allison. At the same time, much miles away,
Jessica is going totally crazy. She's screaming, and yelling to her mom:
' I won, I won! Mom, I won the contest! I'm going to meet the Backstreet Boys! I'm so
happy!' 'Calm down girl.' her mom says,'when will you be leaving?'
'Tomorrow! I can't wait! I think I'll go upstairs and pack my stuff' and up she goes. At Kevin's home there's some kind of
reunion of BSB family members, cause of course Michelle, Kevin's little sister is there,
but also Heather, Ashley aka Little Ash, Samantha and Laura, the Richardson's guest from
Britain are there. Michelle is asking Laura all kinds of things about Britain and also
Heather, Samantha and Ashley are having a nice chat. They're talking about the guys of
N'SYNC. Heather is totally in love with JC and Little Ash is totally crazy about Justin.
Also Samantha is a big fan of them, but only because she can't stand the Backstreet Boys
and she knows that they hate N'SYNC. How she knows that? AJ, her half-brother told her.
'Did you know that they are coming to Orlando pretty soon?' Sam tells the others.
'No, I didn't.' Heather says,'I really have to get backstage. Maybe B-rok can get me some
tickets.'
'Don't think so!' Ashley says,'he'll never get us tickets for N'SYNC. He hates them!'
'I know, but I can always ask.' At the house where the Backstreet
Boys live, is a meeting going on. Sarah says:
'I can't stand seeing you fight all day. Please try to get along with each other or at
leats try to ignore each other. That's better than all the fighting.'
'I know.' Brian says,'but it's just so hard to ignore each other when we're always at
home.' 'That's probably why we all should get out of the house more.' AJ says.
'You're probably right.' Nick says,'from now on we'd better spend some more time with our
family and friends and spend some less time with each other.'
'That's why I'll stay with Jennifer for at least a month.' Howie says,'I can't stand
fighting with you anymore.'
'You're right Howie, but are you sure that you want to leave?' Kevin asks.
'Yeah, I'm sure.' Howie tells the others. And than they all are getting ready for their
nights out, but what no one knows is that also Sarah, their best friend, also got a date.
Ding-dong! The doorbell rings at house #27.
Lynda opens the door and she's surprised to see Nick's face.
'Aren't you supposed to have a romantic dinner with Nathalie?' she asks.
'Yeah, I'm having one, but only we ran out of candles, so I wanted to ask if you have
some.' Nick tells her.
'Of course I do. Just wait a sec.' Lynda says and she runs upstairs. Wow, she sure looks
good too, Nick is thinking. Than Lynda is back already.
'Here you are.' she says,'and enjoy the rest of your dinner!'
'I will.' Nick tells her, only he doesn't know if he will. Also Kevin is at the guys' house
with his girlfriend Cecilia.
'What do you think of Megan?' Kevin asks Cecilia. 'I think she's acting pretty weird
lately.
'You might be right.'Cecilia says,'I've got this feeling that she's jealous of me.'
'Jealous of you?'Kevin says surprised,'why would she be jealous of you?'
'Maybe she doesn't get enough attention of you. Maybe you should take her somewhere
tomorrow. That will satisfy her.'
'Do you think so?'Kevin asks, more to himself than to Cecilia.
'You might be right.' Kevin says,'she asked if I wanted to go to the cinema to her. I'll
take her tomorrow, if that's alright with you?'
'Of course.'Cecilia says, lying to herself. 'Oh no!' Brian says to Christina.
'What's wrong?'she asks, afraid that it's something that has to do with his heart.
'Melina is also here.'Brian tells her.
'Melina, isn't she your ex-girlfriend?' Christina asks Brian.
'Yeah, she is.' Brian says,'but only she still loves me. She just can't accept that I'm
with Ashley now.'
'Hi! Brian!' Melina yells through the mall.
'Hi Melina.'Brian says.
'What brings you here?' Melina asks, trying to keep the conversation going.
'I'm enjoying my free time with my friend Christina. Only we have to get going before the
mall closes. See ya!' Brian tells Melina.
'But Brian...'Melina tries, but she's too late, they are already gone. 'Well, I have to get going.' AJ says to
Rachael.
'Alright, when will I talk to you again?'she asks.
'I'll call you.'AJ says.
'Ok! See you later!' Rachael says when she walks with him to his car. After she went to
stop by her neighbor, she gets back at home. As she gets in the phone rings.
'Hello?'Rachael answers the phone.
'Rachael? It's me, Felissa. Is AJ with you?'
'No, he left half an hour ago. Isn't he home yet?'Rachael asks.
'No, but maybe he's at Howie's or so. I'll try it there. See ya!'Felissa says and she puts
the phone down. Where could AJ be? 'Hi, you're here!' Sati says,'what
took you so long? Sarah is already here with her date. You know him, it's Harold, B-Rok's
brother.'
'Hi Bone!' Sarah welcomes AJ.
'Hi Sarah, hi Harold.' AJ says a bit shocked, not knowing that Sati's sister is one of his
best friends.
'Sati, is this your boyfriend?' Sarah asks. 'That's not possible!' Sarah says to herself.
How could her friend, and almost room mate, be cheating on his girlfriend?
'Where will you be going for the Christmas
holiday?' Xina asked Kelli.
'Haven't I told you yet?' Kelli says surprised,'I'll be going to Orlando, so I can finally
get the chance to see my love Brian. Kelly is coming along too and so is DJ.'
'Why haven't you told me?' Xina says a bit angry,'I would love to go with you!'
'I know, but DJ's pal will come too and we just have four tickets.' Kelli says
sadly,'maybe you can ask DJ if her pal is still coming, cause she didn't know for sure
yet.'
'Well, I'll try that than.' 'Howie? Please don't get upset, but
I'm in the hospital.' Nikki tells her friend on the phone. 'Are you in the hospital? Why?'
Howie asks hysterically.
'It's nothing serious. The doctors are just checking on me, because I had such a
stomach-ache and I was very sick this morning. They said I could call someone, so I called
you.' Nikki explains to Howie.
'Just wait a sec, I'll be right there!' Howie says to her and he hangs up the phone. He
turns to Lindz and says:
'Sorry, but I really have to go. Nikki is in the hospital. I'll see you tomorrow.' and
he's gone. 'Nick? Are you awake?' Nathalie asks
when she wakes up.
'Yeah, I am. We sure had a wonderful night, don't you think?' he says while he gives her a
kiss.
'We had, but let me tell you what Sarah just told me. AJ is cheating on Felissa!' Nathalie
tells Nick.
'What? How do you know that?' Nick asks her.
'Well, I told you about the double date Sarah had with her sister, didn't I? Well, the
date of her sister was AJ! He's her boyfriend!' Nathalie explains too Nick,'just don't
tell AJ that you know, cause Sarah asked me not to tell anyone.'
'I won't tell anyone.' Nick says, wondering how AJ could do something like that. At the same time, Jessica is
arriving at Orlando Airport.
'Jessica?' someone says to her. 'Yes, I'm Jessica. I'm supposed to meet Sarah. Are you
that?' she asks.
'Yeah, I'm Sarah. I'm the boys' choreographer. I'll take you to my place where you'll stay
these two months.' Sarah says to Jessica.
'Wow, you're their choreographer! What are the boys like? Am I going to meet them? Where
do they live?' Jessica asks exciting.
'I'll tell you everything when we'll get at my home, ok?' Sarah says, trying to calm her
down. That's fine by Jessica. She just can't wait to see the boys! 'Leeann! What are you doing in my
room! I haven't got your dress!' Melissa yells to her sister.
'Where is it than?' Leeann asks,'I have to get it, cause I'll see AJ today!'
'You don't know if you'll see him.' Melissa says down-to-earth,'only when he stops by at
Felissa's.'
'Well, he'll probably will, so I have to get that dress!'
'Good luck with searching. I'm off to the boys' house.' Melissa says to her sister.
'What are you going to do there?' Leeann asks.
'I'm meeting Pea there and we'll go to the beach with Brian and his friend.' Melissa
shouts while she leaves the house.
'Rachael? Do you know
when will have to go on tour again?' Ashley asks.
'I don't know,' Rachael says,'the Backstreet Boys are having a break. We'll just have to
wait for a while.' Rachael knows that Ashley has a crush on Nick since she met them at the
beginning of the Millennium Tour. She also understands the pain she feels, because Ashley
isn't the only one who has a crush on a Backstreet Boy. Rachael herself has feelings for
AJ. Although she is good friends with him, she wishes it could be more. 'Why are you here?' Nikki asks the
girl who's next to her in the hospital room.
'I have breast cancer, but luckily it hasn't spread very much, so I have a good chance to
live.' the girl tells her,'my name is Lisa. What's yours?'
'It's Nikki.'
'So, what are you doing her?' Lisa asks her.
'I have a bad stomach-ache, but the doctors don't know what it is yet. I really hate being
in the hospital, but I shouldn't complain, cause my best friend will be here soon. He'll
make me laugh.' Just while she says that, Howie walks into the room.
'Hi Nikki!' he says as cheerful as he can and he gives her a kiss on the cheek.
'Hi Howie!' Nikki says back,'this is Lisa, a friend of mine.'
'Hi Lisa, nice to meet you.' he says to her.
'The pleasure is all mine.' Lisa says to him and she really means it, cause it's really
her favorite Backstreet Boy who is in her room. 'Hey Ash? Shall we go to the
Princeton hotel?' Heather asks.
'The Princeton hotel? What should we do there?' Ashley says.
'Don't you know?' Heather says amazed,'N'SYNC is staying there. We might get to see them.'
'Well, let's go than!' Ashley says, and the cousins Littrell leave. 'I was supposed to have dinner with
Ali.' Nathalie says apologizing,'but you can come along. Why don't you bring Kylie too.
I'm sure she would love to come.'
'Yeah, I can do that.' Nick says,'I haven't seen her in a long time. What a good idea.
I'll give her a call right now.' Than Sarah, Nick's sister, walks into the room. She asks:
'Nat, what will you be doing this evening?'
'I'm having dinner with Nick, Ali and maybe Kylie too. Why don't you come along
also?'Nathalie says
'Well....if you don't mind.' Sarah says questionable.
'Of course not!' 'AJ? Is it you?' Jackie says when
she walks towards the door.
'Yeah it's me.' he tells her.
'If you're coming for Howie. He's not home.'
'I was coming for Howie, but I can also ask you. You know that we are preparing that party
for Nick and Nathalie's first anniversary, right?'
'Yeah...'
'We are still looking for the right place to give the party, so I was wondering if we
might could give it here.' AJ says.
'That's fine by me.' Jackie says. Of course she agrees, she could never resist AJ.
'Brian? Are you here?'
Ashley yells through the house.
'I'm sorry Pea, but he's out with Laura. You know? That girl who's staying at the
Richardson's. She's from Britain.' Sarah tells her,'he decided to show her around the
city.' 'Oh, well than I'll go again.'
'Why don't you stay? I'm just making some coffee.' Sarah asks.
'That's fine by me.' Ashley says and she sits down. 'Kelli! Her friend isn't coming! I
can go!' Xina says exciting over the phone.
'Girl, slow down.' Kelli tells her,'whose friend isn't coming? Where can you go to?'
'DJ's friend won't go with you at that trip to Orlando, so now I can go!' Xina explains to
her. 'That's great!' Kelli says excited now too,'why don't you come over. I'll also call
Kelly and DJ, so we can make some good plans of what we'll do when we're there.'
'I'll be there in a sec!' 'Sarah, why did you let me come over
to the studio?' Kevin asks not knowing why she asked him to come over.
'Well, I've got this girl staying with me, her name is Jessica, and she would really love
to get to know one of the dances of your songs.' Sarah explains to him.
'And why would I do that?' he asks.
'She's a price winner and that was the things that was promised to her. Of course I could
teach her on my own, but I thought it was nice if one of you would be here too.'
'Well, that's fine by me. So, where is she?' he asks and when he says that a girl walks
into the room. It's Jessica. She is stunned when she sees Kevin standing in front of her.
'You must be Jessica?' he says to her.
'Yeah, I am,' she says stuttered,'and you are Kevin.'
'You're right about that!' Kevin says to her and he gives her a smile,'why won't we
start?' and he starts teaching her the dance moves of 'Everybody'. 'I don't understand why they are in
such a big fight' Courtney says to Lindz.
'Me neither, they just get mad at each other all the time. Howie even moved out of the
boys' house.' Lindz tells her.
'Really? I didn't know that!' Courtney says a little bit shocked,'I really hope that
they'll be friends again soon, cause I hate it when I hear AJ talking about Howie like
that.' Courtney and Lindz became friends along the time, because they saw each other so
much when they went to parties and stuff with there best friends AJ and Howie.
'I know what you mean.' Lindz says,'it's the same with Howie. What can we do about it?'
'I don't know. I really don't know.' 'And, do you already know where AJ
was last evening?' Leeann asks Felissa.
'No, but actually I haven't talked about it yet.' Felissa tells her,'I think he just
stopped by some friends and he forgot to call me.'
'I wouldn't be to sure about that.' Leeann says.
'What do you mean by that?' Felissa says snappy.
'Well, maybe Rachael lied to you and he still was with her.' Leeann tells her.
'Why would she lie to me?' Felissa asks.
'You don't know yet?' Leeann says,'Rachael has a crush on AJ. She would love to see the
two of you split up.'
'Would she really do that?' Felissa asks, she knows that Leeann might be right.
'So, what restaurant shall we go to?' Nick
asks the girls.
'I don't know,' Kylie says, 'we could go to that new restaurant on 6th Avenue. It seems to
be very nice.'
'Yeah, I heard about it too.' Sarah says,
'You can get a lot of different food there, so everyone can eat what he wants.'
'Well, than let's go there!' Nathalie says enthusiastic. 'And, do you like it here?' Brian
asks Laura.
'Yeah, this place is really amazing!' Laura says happy, 'I'd love to go to college here.
That would be real cool!'
'So, do you like it at the Richardson's?'
'Yeah, they're such a nice family.' Laura says, 'especially Kevin is very nice to me. He
sure makes me feel at home.'
'I'm glad you feel that way.' Brian says while they walk back home, 'are you also going to
the anniversary party of Nick and Nathalie? Or will you be gone by than?'
'No, of course I'll come. I'd love to!' Laura says, only she wishes that it wasn't because
of their anniversary. 'You broke up with Peter?' Kevin
says surprised, 'I'm so sorry! What happened? Why did you broke up? You were such a great
couple!'
'I know.' Megan says whiping her tears away, 'we just decided it was better to breake up.
It didn't work anymore.' This wasn't the real reason, but she couldn't tell Kevin that
they broke up because of him. Peter was jealous and finally got to know that Megan loved
Kevin more than she loved him. That's why they broke up, but she couldn't tell Kevin that.
'Are you sure that you still want to go out tonight?' Kevin asks worried.
'Yeah, I'm sure.' She would never turn Kevin down. 'Sam! What are you doing in my
room!' AJ yells.
'I was just looking for that cd I lent you, but of course I can't find it in your mess!'
she yells back, 'what are you doing at home anyway? Aren't you supposed to be with the
other Backstreet Birds?'
'It's Backstreet Boys! And no, I don't have to be with them, cause we're having a break
for some months.' AJ tells her.
'Well, well. Isn't it going good with my little bro' and his other little friends?'
Samantha says sarcastic.
'We're just having a break. That's all!' AJ says pissed off and he leaves. 'How's she doing?' Jennifer asks
Howie.
'She feels pretty good.' Howie tells her, 'but the doctors still don't know what's wrong
with her.'
'That's weird. I hope she'll feel better soon.' Jennifer says, 'also for your sake, cause
I know you'll worry about her a lot.'
'I know, it's terrible, isn't it?' Howie says.
'It's normal, I would do the same with CC too.' Jennifer says trying to comfort him. She
knows that he'll be worried to death, it's normal, she knows, but it does make her
jealous. 'Hey Pea, did you know that B-Rok's
ex is back in town?' Melissa says to Ashley.
'No, I didn't. Ashley says a bit surprised, 'is she still crazy about Bri?'
'From what I've heard, yes.'
'Great! That's really what I needed.' Ashley says, 'luckily I know for sure that he hasn't
got any feelings for her anymore.'
'Yeah, you're right.' Melissa says, 'you've got nothing to worry about.' Has she really
got nothing to worry? Ashley doesn't know for sure.
'WOW! I really can't believe that I'm
actually standing here in Orlando, the hometowm of my sweety, AJ!' Kelly says.
'Yeah, I know what you mean,' Xina says. She also can't believe that she's actually in the
town where the music career started of her five most-loved boys in the world. The same's
with Kelli and DJ.
'So, where will we go after we settle in our hotel?' DJ asks.
'I'd really love to go to the boys' house and check it out, maybe we can even meet them!'
Kelli says excited. And off they go, heading for their hotel. Nikki was still in the hospital and
the doctors still didn't know what was wrong with her. She really hopes that she doesn't
have cancer, because what she has heard from Lisa, she really understands that it's a
terrible disease. That's why she asked Howie to come over again, cause Lisa is totally in
love with him and she hopes that he'll make her a bit happy. 'Hey AJ, what's going on with you
and Felissa?' Courtney asks.
'Nothing,' AJ says, 'should there be something then?'
'Well...' Courtney says doubting if she should start about it,'I have heard some people
say that you are cheating on her.'
'Me!' AJ exclaims,' cheating on Felissa? With whom?'
'It could be Rachael. You sure spend a lot of time with her.'
'That's really stupid!' AJ says angry now, 'we're just friends. When I would be cheating
with her, than I would also be cheating with you. Is that true?'
'No it isn't,' Courtney says, now sorry that she had started this conversation, 'I'm
sorry!' 'Don't be,' AJ says to her, 'I know you know that it isn't true. It's just that
all these rumours get you all mixed up. I have it sometimes too.' 'Hey, look who are over there!'
Laura says to Brian.
'It's my mate Nick with all his girls,' Brian says, 'he sure has good taste! Would you
mind and go sit with them?'
'Of course not!' Laura says. Actually she's happy that he and Nick are still such good
friends, although there are such problems in the group.
'Hey girls! Hi Nick!' Brian says happily, 'would you guys mind if Laura and me joined
you?' 'Of course not,' Nathalie says before Nick can say anything, 'we're glad to have you
here, right Nick?'
'Right,' he says, but it doesn't sounds convincing.
