*3 Hours Later; 4:30pm*

"Fox, there's Tony!"

I yelled happily as I finally saw Tony, Nicole and Michael off in the distance. We'd been looking for someone we knew, for at least a half hour now.

"Good, don't lose them! Let's go!" Fox replied as we started running in their direction.

When we caught up with them a minute later, I yelled,

"Wow, this is a big place!"

"Yeah, it's pretty crazy. Aaron knows it really well, though." Michael laughed.

"We should've stayed with him and Joey." Fox laughed.

"Do you know where anyone else is?" I asked them. They all shrugged.

"We have to leave by 5pm, don't we?" Tony asked back. We all nodded.

"Well, let's stay as a group and go look for everyone else." Nicole suggested.

*Same Time; Not Too Far Away*

"Look! Isn't that Fox... and Fay, and Tony?"

Luke asked Nonny, who he'd been hanging out with all day. They were just getting to know each other better.

"Yeah, it is, and Mike and Nicole are with them! Let's go catch up with them!" Nonny replied happily, grabbing Luke's hand.

"Fox! Tony!" Luke screamed as they approached them. The group of five turned around and saw Luke and Nonnie holding hands. They quickly dropped hands.

"Hey Lukey, good, that's two more to add to our group." Tony laughed.

Then the seven of us walked around, looking for more people. We needed Cher, Marce, Dare, Joey, Aaron and Stephan. I knew that Marce decided to hang out with Stephan for the day. They two of them were getting along really well, even though Marce didn't want to get into a relationship at all. And Joey and Aaron were together. That left Cher and Dare, who were probably also together. I know we didn't mean to break up into little groups, but somehow we did.

*A Few Minutes Later*

"Aaron, shit... I mean, darn, it's after 4:30pm!"

Joey yelled to Aaron as they stood inline for yet another super fast rollarcoaster. Aaron stared at Joey in disbelief. He knew they were supposted to meet everyone around quarter after 4pm.

"Are you serious?" he asked, not smiling.

"Yup, we'd better go look for everyone!" Joey replied, keeping her smile on her face.

"Yeah..." Aaron said, a little sadly, as they began walking away, "This day went by too fast, we had fun, huh?" he continued.

"Yeah, buddy, we did. And you only got reconized like three times!" Joey smiled down at him, although he wasn't much shorter than her.

"And you got reconinzed!" Aaron reminded her. She nodded happily.

"It was so awesome, I finally know how you feel, well, sort of." she laughed, knowing he must feel a million times better, everyday.

"It only gets better, Joe, I swear." Aaron replied, staring into her eyes.

Joey really liked hanging out with Aaron. He was like her new best friend. She spent more time with him than with us, her group. But Aaron loved being with Joey. He loved being around her, and making her laugh by doing silly things. He loved everything about her, and he knew he was allowed to feel that way. She was only two years older than him. Aaron had a crush, and he knew it.

"Aaron? Is that one of your dancers?" Joey asked him, as she eyed a tall guy with dark hair.

"Yeah, and Marcella is with him." Aaron replied, running towards them. Joey ran after him, but she was a little confused.

Marce is alone with a guy? She thought to herself, And worse, she barely knows him!

"Hey Stephan! Hey Marcella!" Aaron yelled to them, running up behind them.

"Hey AC! Did you have fun today?" Stephan asked him.

"Yeah, of course, me and Joey had so much fun! I'm just really tired from walking around so much." Aaron answered, as Joey caught up with them.

"Hey Joe!" Marce smiled at her.

"Hey!" Joey replied. She saw that Aaron looked a little tired, and was about to ask him about it, but he said,

"Joey, could you give me a piggy-back ride?"

"Aaron, don't ask Joey to do that, I will." Stephan volenteered.

"No, it's ok, I will, thanks Stephan." Joey replied happily. Aaron grinned and hopped on Joey's back. And, oddly enough, he was pretty light.

Then the four of them walked around together, looking for the rest of the gang.

*Same Time; Pretty Far Away*

Dare and Cher had been looking for everyone else for about fifteen minutes now. It was almost quarter to 5pm, and they were getting scared that they wouldn't find everyone else.

"We should never have left the group, we're going to be stuck here all night!" Dare yelled jokingly.

"No, we'll find someone, hopefully." Cher laughed back.

The two girls walked around for another minute, with no luck in finding anyone they knew.

"Maybe we should just go back to the bus? Maybe they're waiting there?" Dare suggested.

"Good idea, now... where is the bus parked?" Cher laughed again.

"We are so screwed..." Dare laughed with her, as the two stopped and looked around again.

*Same Time; The Big Group*

"Man, it's quarter to 5pm, we have to get back to the bus." I said, and everyone else agreed.

"Maybe everyone else is waiting there?" Tony asked.

"Hopefully." Luke said, laughing.

So we all stayed together and found our way back to the bus. When we got there, we were very happy to see Marce, Joey, Aaron and Stephan already waited there for us.

"Good, there's..." Aaron started, and began counting how many people were there now. "Fay, Joey, Marce, Luke, Tony, Fox, Nonny, Nicole, Micheal, Stephan... and me. That's... eleven, now, weren't there thirteen of us when we got here?" he laughed cutely.

"Yeah, Dare and Cher are missing." Joey noted.

"Uh, should we got look for them, or what?" Luke asked.

"They'll probably realize they should come back to the bus, and they'll be here soon... hopefully." I spoke up.

So we all got on the bus to wait. Joey told me and Marce all about the fans and we got so excited. Aaron sat with us, not wanting to leave Joey's side.

It was about five after 5pm, when, finally, we heard a knock on the tour bus door. Aaron ran to answer it.

"Dare! Cher!" he screamed, letting them in.

"God, we're so sorry we're late. We got so lost." Cher explained as she sat down with us around a table.

"That's alright, we're just glad you made it." Joey smiled.

Then the driver started driving, and we were on our way back to Santa Barbara, for Aaron's Party.
