^GAME OVER!^
"Noooo!!" Nick screamed.
"Look what you made us do!" Brian said glaring at Kevin and AJ who were just laughing.
"Don't you have anything better to do than destroy the game the game for us?" Nick said annoyed.
"Yeah, that's our job!" Brian shimmed in.
"um… let's see… do we have anything better to do?" AJ said looking at Kevin.
The two of them grinned, and said:
"Nope!" and continued with "it's payback time for all the times you two have been annoying" And they kept laughing.
Nick just sighed.
"Come on Bri, let's go and get some snacks and we'll start over again" and he left the room.
"Coming…"
AJ and Kevin just looked at each other, and grinned even more. They obviously thought about the same thing.
Howie just smirked.
"You are so immature! Why won't you just leave the two of 'em alone?"
"As we said earlier… PAYBACK TIME!!!"
"Now it's my turn to go first, right?" Nick asked Brian as they came back with the snacks. But Brian didn't get the time to answer, the two of them stopped and stared at the spot on the floor they just left.
"Heeeyy!!!" the both of them yelled.
Their seats were taken… by Kevin and AJ who were playing.
"We were playing!!"
"So… you WERE playing, we ARE playing… what's your point?" AJ said not caring.
"But…. you guys never play!"
"We just started." Kevin stated.
"But… But…" neither Brian nor Nick knew what to say.
They turned to Howie, who were on the phone (probably with his girlfriend Calesta), for help.
"HOWIE!!!" they pleaded.
"Oh no! Leave me out of this!"
They looked at each other, then threw themselves on the couch. There they sat with their arms crossed over their chests, sulking.
After the 20th something ^GAME OVER!^ they started complaining again.
"Come on! This is sooo boring! Let us play!!" Brian started.
"Yeah… you guys can't even play… so what's the use of trying!" Nick continued.
AJ and Kevin just ignored them.
Denise stepped in.
"Great!! The tour hasn't even started and you're already fighting and complaining." she said with a smirk.
"So!!" all of them stated.
"Whatever. I just came to tell you we're almost there now, so get ready." "What time is it?" Howie asked. "8 p.m. Why?"
"Wow, have we already been on this bus for 13 hours!!!??!! I never thought this day would pass by so fast!!"
"Yeah, it's just straight to bed for you when we get to the hotel." Denise said.
"Go to bed at eight!!" AJ yelled.
"Ok. You don't have to go to bed, but don't go out. Stay in and rest. You have a lot of rehearsing to do in the following days."
"Hey.. your acting like we're ten years old." Kevin said.
"Well… stop acting like a bunch of ten year olds then!!" she said referring to the complaining earlier.
"Hey… It was them who were acting like kids, not me!" Howie defended himself.
"Yeah, yeah… where were I… yeah, you have rehearsals at 8 a.m. tomorrow." "Geez!! Why do we always have to have the rehearsals sooo early?!" Brian asked no one in particular as he went to get his bag.
They reached the hotel a couple of minutes later, and Denise went to check in.
She handed out the keys in the elevator.
"Floor 8…" she announced so Nick could push the right button, and she continued. "…um… let's see… Kevin, room 840…. Howie, room 839… Nick 838… Brian 837.. and that makes AJ…"
"Um… let me guess!… Room 836?" AJ said sarcastically.
"Yeah, go and get some sleep now, and DON'T stay up all night!! … I'll be with the band on floor 9. 'Night!" she said as the boys left the elevator. "Geez!! IS she going to be like that for the WHOLE tour?" AJ asked the others.
"No, you know she's always like that in the beginning.." Howie answered and the others agreed.
But Denise was right. They should get some sleep. All of them were still tired. When the silence had lasted for too long Brian was bored… "Hey Nick! I'll race ya to the rooms!!!"
And off they went.
"Hey! Keep it down! People are trying to sleep!" Kevin yelled after them, then covered his mouth realizing he was making more noise than them.
"Remind me how old they are again." Howie said to the others.
"Not too old to be doing that apparently." was Kevin's answer.
Jasmine woke up by some people yelling in the hallway.
"…um…where am I?…oh, right! At the hotel!…What time is it? How long have I been sleeping?…Oh shit! 8.30!! I've been asleep for more than five hours!!….well I guess I needed it." she thought and got up from the bed and looked around the room. "Well…. there's not much more I can do today. I'll just take that hot bath and then go back to sleep."
While she got ready for her bath she thought.
"Maybe it was a good idea to stay in today… to let the bruise go down a bit… but I have to wear my sunglasses when I go out, hopefully no one will notice…"
She took a long bath and then climbed in to bed. Even though she had slept earlier, she was still tired and fell fast asleep.
