"OMG, that was close ! Where did they come from anyhow ?"
Nick and I were sitting in the taxi and I still couldn't close my mouth, because I was so shocked about what had happened! Of course I knew hysterical fans, but in this kind of situation they were even worse! I still didn't have a clue how Nick could run this fast through the hotel corridors and most of all how he knew how to get to the underground garage. This had actually been like a labyrinth.
"Luckily the taxi was already waiting for us! I called for it as soon as you'd called me!" Nick looked back at the hotel that they were just leaving just once more, being quite pleased. He'd chosen the right door and the taxi had already been waiting ! The driver had looked pretty shocked, when they both, Fiona and him, had jumped into the backseat like madmen and both yelled "GO!!!". Fiona sat beside him, still looking pretty distracted. He was already back to normal and relaxed. But this hadn't been the first time, that he had to run from crazy fans.
Suddenly Nick had to laugh. "Hey, you look pretty frightened! You have to count on stuff like that, when you're on the way with me ... LOL ... uhm, just kiddin' it happens veeeeeeeeeeery seldomly that they act like this. Most of the time they just stand in front of you and aren't able to say a word !"
I didn't think this attempt of a joke was very funny. I had just been chased through a huge hotel and was already making jokes about it, that guy was though. I just wanted to start muttering at him, when the taxi driver interrupted us to ask where we wanted to go, since we hadn't mentioned it yet.

"Thanx for the generous tip !!!!!!!"
"Oh, no problem, we have to thank you, cause you were so punctual !!"
Nick and I had decided to start our shopping spree on the *Ku'damm*. I was still skeptical that this was to end all good today, but Nick was so convinced of his *disguises*, that he actually planned to go shopping without a bodyguard. You have to know that these *disguises* were actually just a fisherman's hat, pulled down into his face and sunglasses, that I didn't think were very stylish. Well, I decided, to leave Nick in his illusion, that nobody would recognize him and to wait, what a brilliant solution he had in mind, when he was caught.
(To my own big surprise not even one fan recognized him all day long !)

"Oh, look , that over there doesn't look bad either, do you think I should ... "
Nick went back into the changing cubicle. I had never thought about how exhausting it could possibly be to go shopping with Nick Carter. I changed my mind about men and shopping totally, cause Nick could keep up with any girl without a doubt. And men always say us girls are exhausting ! They probably never went with Nick though ! I didn´t know anymore how many stores we'd been in so far and how many pants, shirts or else Nick had tried on, cause after the 10th shop I stopped counting ... LOL !
Yes, this one was perfect ! Finally Nick had found the suiting pair of pants. He was always very critical, he knew that, but he wanted to get something good for his money. They other guys, most of all AJ, often said that he was too greedy, but he'd probably inheretated that from his mom.
"No, Mr. Carter, are those the pants you want ?? Are you reeeaaaly sure about that ??" I just couldn't resist on this comment, but Nick just looked too cute, the way he was standing in front of me : veeeeeeeery proud, smiling from one ear to the other, just a totally happy Nick !
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was about 4 p.m. when Nick and I were sitting in a little street café. Piles of shopping bags were surrounding us, cause after those mentioned first starting difficulties of Nick we had found some nice stuff after all. Somehow money has to spread, doesn't it ?!
"Okay Nick, what are we gonna do now ?? And most important, where are we gonna put all those bags ?"
"Uhm, I think we'll just call Todd and he's gonna bring all this stuff to the hotel. We're not gonna leave until tomorrow afternoon, so you'll have enough time to come get your stuff. You're gonna come along to the airport anyhow, won't you ??"
"Yep Nick, I think I will ! You're lucky, I still have summer break, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here but in school ! Luckily there's still some time left until that shit starts again. You're one lucky fella, that you don't have to go there anymore !"
Nick turned thoughtful. Of course, he used to dislike school just as much as the others back then, but sometimes he wished to be just as normal as everybody else again. Which ment going to school like everyone else. But it was too late for that anyway.
"What you think about staying here for a little while, even after Todd was here and then we'll go to a nice little club. You told me about one you like so much yesterday !"
"Okay, sounds good, but now I'm hungry ! Uhm, waiter ??? ..."
