Kevin: "Yes...I made it all work.....out....yet....again. I've got...everrrrrrryyyy....thing..under complete..total...and utter.....control."
AJ: "I'm part of this group. I'm in here, I swear it's me."
Nick: "Yep! I'm Frack, that's Frick, like my big bro says, everythings under control. I like the ocean, basketball, pizza...I'm cool. Everything's normal. Nothings out of the ordinary. I'm telling the truth ya know."
Howie: *Cheesy Smile* "This kinda stuff always works. When I smile like this it makeseveryonethink we're all normalandpeaceful, and just Backstreet way and stuff like that. KTBSPA!"
Guy: "Ahee, I'm a Backstreet Boy. These are my buddies, my brothers. Yes Ma!! Do you recognize me?!" *Elbowed by Kev* "I mean, no ya don't."
*Yesterday*
Bri: "Ok, bye ya'll."
Nick: "Huh?" *Lower lip starts to tremble and eyes start to mist*
AJ: "Wait, wait, wait. Where are you goin Rok? We got a concert tomorrow night and a photo shoot this afternoon."
Howie: "Yeah, we gotta lotta stuff to do."
Bri: "Uh guys, remember, we talked about this. I'm getting married tomorrow morning and I gotta fly to Georgia."
Kev: "Oh yeah, listen cous I ment to tell ya....I gotta miss that...and...it looks like you'll have to....too. We have...a concert."
Howie: "Yeah Bri. Thisisimportantstuff. Youknowthat."
Nick: "Hey Kev...can I go with Brian? Please, please, please?? Oh pleeeeasssseeeee. Pretty please with a new sega controller on top??"
Kev: "No...Noone's goin anywhere...stop... I....have... to...think..."
*By the time Kevin's done thinking, the boys have already said their goodbyes to Brian who is now on his way to his wedding. Nick is still facing away from the guys with his head leaning against the wood of the door and his hands pressing up against the door like he would somehow get through it without actually turning the knob. He looked as though he was concentrating to bring Brian back or to magically transport himself to Brian's side. But with his eyes tightly closed, he knew it would not happen, and he started bawling.*
*Kev and Nick are back to back with AJ and Howie inbetween them*
Kev: *Turns around to face AJ and Howie. And Nick's back.* "Ok Cous I got it. You postpone your wedding, we get on with the...show...and...Cous?"
How: "I'm sorry Kevin, Brian left. He went on the plane and stuff to go get married and ya know stuff like that."
AJ: "I'd rather be doing the 'stuff like that' if you ask me. But seriously...pshhh, we should be there."
Kev: "Well! You think I don't want to go?? I'm his...cousin."
Nick: *Turns around, eyes all red, looks like he has just lost a Donkey King game to his lil bro. He says in a weak and distraught voice..* "Please, can we postpone our things and go with Brian?"
How: "But Nicky you've forgotten. We already postponed this stuff for Kev's wedding and my hair appointment. We can't hold it up any longer with this kinda stuff."
AJ: "Yeah, the fans will get pissed and ya know...not flash us anymore." *Frowns*
Nick: "What's that mean?"
How: *Giggles* "Silly, take pictures of us." *Sticks right arm out and throws his hand down*
Nick: "Ohhhh..Ok."
*Kev and AJ look at each other with smirks on their faces.*
Kev: "Well um...ok...We can't, just, we can't. We need a replacement for my cousin. We can't have him missing....for the photo shoot and......concert."
Nick: "I know who would be really good to be Brian!!!"
AJ: "Who?"
Nick: "Brian!! He looks like him, sings like him, and best of all, Brian will come back and Frick and Frack will be united once again!!"
How: "Oh you silly goose."
AJ: "Nick, Please don't try to think again."
Kev: *Gets red in the face.*
Nick: "What?" *Shrugs and frowns.*
Kev: "We have to actually...think now."
*After 5 hours it is 11:59 A.M. and they have come up with 5 people who are potential possiblities of playing the part of Brian. Mark Walberg, Leonardo Decaprio, Leighanne Wallace, Bob Barker, or Marcell the Monkey in the lobby.*
Kev: "Ok, we have 5 people in mind...but we have approxamately T minus 42 seconds to get over to our photo shoot."
AJ: "Well we obviously have NO time whatsoever to find any of these people, so let's get a move on!"
*The boys stand up and start walking towards the hotel room door.*
Nick: "T-bone minus 38! T-bone minus 37! T-bone minus 36!"
*Howie joins in and they start to do a little dance while walking.*
How&Nick: "T-bone minus 35, T-bone minus 34!"
*Kev opens the door and walks out with AJ following. AJ slams the door just Howie and Nick are about to dance outta there.*
How&Nick: *In muffled voices through the door.* "Heyyyyyyyy" *They whine.*
Kev: *Opens the door and with a dull look in his eyes and a drag in his voice asks,* Are you done yet? *Howie and Nick nod and folds their hands* "Good, cuz if you hold us up any longer, we're gonna be late." *The boys close the door to the hotel room and open the door across the hall from them just as it turns 12 noon.*
Photographer: "Ah, just in time! I hope you had no trouble getting here."
How: "Nope, nope. We didn't even forget where it was this time! And...therewasno hall traffic!!"
Nick: "Well that was incredibly corney! Hall traffic. Ha!" *Turns away and secretly laughs his ass off about Howie's little joke, then quickly turns back around.*
How: "Hey, don't be mean. You're acting like Kev does to you."
Nick: "Really?" *Then Nick and Howie actually start to get into a discussion..together..wow.*
Photographer: "I hate to burst the first bubble of realization between you two, but we have to do a photoshoot here. Now let's see. 1..2..3..4.. We're missing a Backstreet Boy.."
Kev: "Um, yeah, you see....um...well there was a time...when..."
Nick: "No we're not."
AJ: "We're not?"
Nick: "Nope, Brian's right here. Right Brian?" *Nick pulls this guy that walks out of the bathroom into the center of the room and puts his arm around his shoulders.* "Yup."
AJ: "Dude, I mean look at.." *Kev elbows AJ and steps forward.*
Kev: "Yes...this is mah cous....I've known him....all mah life...or all his...life..."
How: "Ohhhh." *Says Howie, just getting what's going on.* "Yes, this is BrianThomasLittrelloftheBackstreetBoys. Nowlet's get this photoshoot overwith." *Says Howie, a tad bit nervous.*
Photographer: *Not a hint of curiousity or concern crosses his face or voice.* "Ok, Let's get this over with."
*The guys hang back and explain to the guy who came outta the bathroom what was goin on and what he would have to do. He agreed to play along.*
AJ: "So what's you're name?" Guy: "Guy." AJ: "Oh...Hi Guy." How: "Welcome to the Backstreet Family! Home of Keeping the Backstreet Pride Alive!! Yeah!!!"
Guy: "Hey thanks. So can I be Nick?"
*Nick looks up for the first time during the whole conversation from sticking little things into 'those little holes in the wall' (as he calls them). He gets scared and stands up and grabs Kevin's hand while slowly moving behind Kev as if Guy wouldn't see him.*
Kev: "Relax Nick." *Kev says using a big brother tone. Then him and Nick kinda hug. hm.* "Guy, Nick is here, Brian is not....you have to be...Brian."
Guy: *Shrugs.* "Ok."
*So the Boys do the photo shoot and Guy surprisingly knows all the moves.*
Kev: "Have you done this...before?"
Guy: "Ahee, I've been studying."
AJ: *Takes off sunglasses and looks at him.* "Righhhhhhhhhhht."
Nick: "I'm tired."
Kev: "Tough."
Photographer: "Ok, that's a wrap guys, thanks."
Kev: "Damnit."
Nick: "Yay!"
How: "So, uh Brian...Wanna perform with us at the concert tomorrow night?"
Guy: "Of course!"
Kev: "Do you think...the fans...our fans I mean...will notice?"
Nick: "Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
AJ: "Well, uh.."
How: "Notheywon'tisn'tthatrightAJ?"
AJ: "Yeah, if he sheds a couple pounds and gains a southern accent."
*At the concert the next night*
AJ: "Dude, what are gonna do if they figure out he's not Brian. We gotta think of a plan."
How: "Hmmmmm."
Nick: "Agh, I can't think right now."
Kev: "When...have you...ever?"
Nick: "Well when have you ever finished a thought before the person you're talking to walks out of the room?"
AJ: "Ohhhh..he got you there man."
How: "Oh my."
Kev: "Huh? What the hell are you talking...about?" *But the guys are already in their stage positions about 100 feet away from him. Kev runs over there.*
ALL&Guy: *See Kevin coming and crack up laughing. Then the curtain goes up.*
Kev: *Yells.* "WHAT?!?!" *Kev sees the crowd staring at them.* "What are we waiting for...it's time to parrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrty!!"
*Guy continues to pretend to be Brian. Kevin doesn't take his eyes off him. Guy gets all the moves wrong and sings horribly. No one noticed though :/ Everyonr was screaming which drained out the singing. And AJ and Nick decided to distract the audience by having their pants down throughout the whole concert. The concert ends and they pay Guy $1 million dollars and send him on his way.*
Guy: "Ahee, I used to be a Backstreet Boy."
*The next day the Boys go on TRL with any kind of Brian absent. Carson brings up a picture of all of them at the concert the night before to talk about the whole deal with the 'pants down'. Kev, Howie, and AJ get nervous since Guy is in the picture. No one looks suspicious though, so they cool down a little. Nick is smiling ear to ear and lookin around the room at everyone. Then Nick sees the picture on the screen of them at the concert, squints, and takes a step forwards towards the picture.*
Carson: "Nick, is anything wrong?"
Nick: *Walks up to the TV screen with his bottom lip brought up and out and his brows hanging over his eyes. He points to Guy* "Who the hell is that?!? And where's Brian?!?!?
