CHAPTER ONE
Howie rolled out of bed at 11:30 am as usual. He heard some rattling in the kitchen and went to investigate. In the kitchen was Kevin, dressed in full chef uniform. "Dude, what in the world are you doing?" Howie asked. "I'm making french fries" Kevin said with a fake French accent. "Whatever" Howie said and walked to the fridge. "OK!!! Who ate my last hot pocket?" he shouted. "Um, I think that was me" AJ said, walking into the kitchen holding his head. "Do we have any Tylenol?" he asked, searching through the cabinets, "I've got a bad hangover". Howie settled on some leftover Chinese food and popped it in the microwave.When the microwave beeped, Howie went to check on it."Uh, how old is this Chinese food?" he asked AJ, who was still searching for a bottle of Tylenol. "Isn't that the stuff that Kev brought home last week?" he asked. Howie sniffed the food, and with a subtle grin, dug a fork into it and sat down at the table, "Oh well, still good". "Gross!!!" AJ shouted as Howie ate the week old bourbon chicken and fried rice. "What?" Howie asked as Nick walked into the kitchen holding something in a box. "What's that?" Kevin asked. "Something that's gonna make us all richer than we already are!!!" Nick exclaimed, lifting the lid off of the box. "A puppy is gonna make us rich?" AJ asked. "No stupid!!" Nick shouted, hitting AJ on his shoulder. "Pet sitting for the stars!" "So, we're gonna make money sitting on our asses watching some puppy walk around?" Howie asked,as he tried to pet the puppy, who growled at him. "NO!!" Nick said, as he put his arm around Howie's shoulder. "Howie man.... look at the big picture.... BSB dog sitting.... the girls would love it!" "plus," he said, looking at the puppy, who was sniffing Kevin's leg, "we could make some extra money." "Well.......," Howie said, messing with his hair as he thought, "if it'll get us girls, I'm all for it!!!!" *Later on that day.......* "Baby!!!!!!! get back here!!" Nick shouted as he chased a golden retriever puppy who was dragging a leash down the street. "Who would have thought that a 3 month old puppy could run so fast?" Nick asked Brian, who was cradling a kitten in his arms. "I know, right? She could have at least given us some warning that she was going to run, we could have prepared ourselves!" Nick ran after the dog who was then 3 city blocks away. Brian walked back to the house and opened the door. "Mayhem!!!!!" Kevin's voice shouted, "absolute mayhem!" There were spiders and snakes crawling everywhere along with a few pit bulls and a couple bats flying overhead. "Ok, this has gotten way out of hand!!!!!!" AJ shouted as a cockatiel landed on his head. "Get this damn bird off me!" he screamed. "Where is Nick.... where in the holy hell is Nicholas?" Howie yelled. "This was all his idea!" "Last time I saw him he was chasing a puppy" Brian said, unwinding a snake from around his legs.Howie heard a door open. He ran to see who it was. He stopped mid run. "Uh, Nick?" he said. "Don't you think we have enough animals already?" "But he was a stray.." Nick whined. "I wanted to keep him!" "We do not have the room for all these animals!" AJ shouted from his bedroom. Later on that day, Howie decided to get a shower. He undressed, put a towel around his waist, and stepped into the bathroom. He turned on the shower and he heard a little whine. "what the hell?" he said, as he opened the shower. "NICK!!!!!!!!!! Get this animal!!!" he shouted as he glared at the dog looking up at him with wet hair all over. "This is really getting out of hand" he mumbled as nick came into the bathroom and got the dog out of the tub. He washed out the tub, and turned on the shower. He closed the curtain and began to wash his hair when all of a sudden, the curtain was snapped open. "Hey howie!" Nick said. "Where's the White Rain shampoo?" "Right here" Howie said handing nick the bottle. Nick opened the lid and sniffed it. "Uh, no this is Baby's flea shampoo, I put it in the White Rain bottle....... sorry!" Howie began frantically watching the flea shampoo out of his hair. "DAMNIT NICK!!!" he shouted as he noticed his hair turning a stange shade of blue.
