Chapter Three

Britney and Ashley both fluttered around getting ready. Britney was so excited as a fan, but Lee was excited because she really liked Nick's personality. He was also really hot. She just hopped he was that good-looking in real life. (She knew what he looked like from pictures she had "borrowed" from Brittney.) Britney bounced into Lee's room..

"Are you ready?" She asked excitedly.

"We don't have to leave for another half-hour." Ashley exclaimed.

"But, what if we get lost and are late and. . . " Britney worried.

"Nope. Won't happen."

"How do you know?"

"Because I'm GOD, now leave!"

"Yes, sir!" Britney saluted and they boh giggled. Britney marched out of the room like a solder and into her room where she walked around in circles until Ashley was ready.

"Why do I have to meet a fan?" Aaron whined.

"Because I want her older sister," Nick sighed.

"You want her?" Aaron questioned.

"Not like that do face!" Nick pretended to punch Aaron.

"So do you expect me to hook up with the younger sister?" Aaron said watching Nick fix his hair.

"No. I don't care, just live with her for tonight, Okay? Can you do that for me?'

"I suppose."

"Singers love his fans."

"I do love my fans, it's just I'm gonna be stuck with some crazy 12 year old fan jumping all over me aren't I? While you're trying to hypnotize her older sister? I mean, what am I suppost to expect her to do, after what you said she did when she got the picture?"

"Hey, there isn't anything wrong with being hot." Nick said as he worked on his hair.

"I know, Mr. Every-Hair-Must-Be-Perfect." Aaron mocked.

"Go primp."

"No."

"You're not going to do anything with the hair?'

"13 year old guys don't like fixing their hair."

"What-ever,"Nick sighed. "Just don't embarrass me." Aaron's face lit up as he turned and left the room.

"Britney!" Ashley yelled. "I'm ready!"

Britney came running out of her room and skidded to a halt in front of Ashley.

"Britney," Ashley sighed. "You are wearing WAY too much make-up." She looked at her watch. "We have time. Go wash all that off then come into my room. I'll do your make-up."

"Does it look that bad?" Britney questioned.

"Yes. Now hurry."

Britney sighed and ran into the bathroom. When she reappeared Ashley did her make-up (she looked MUCH better) and they got in Lee's car and left.

"When you met Nick and Aaron I don't want you to jump on the or act like a stupid little girl," Lee instructed.

"I can't act excited?" Britney asked innocently. "I don't know that I can do that."

"Well. try for me okay. I just don't want you to embarrass me."

"Aren't you excited?'

"I'm more nervous."

"Why are you nervous?'

"You'll understand when you're older."

"I'm 12!"

"My point exactly"

"Aaron's my age. That's so cool."

"Nick's mine."

"You and Nick like go out though."

"No, we don't. and don't you tell anybody that we do!"

"I haven't."

"Good."

"Why not?"

"Because we aren't"

"Why are you talking to him on the phone all the time if you don't go out with him?"

"I remember when I was in middle school you just like went out with people but now , when you're my age, you go places and do things with them first."

"Oh. Okay, so you're not going out?"

"No. there's his house!" Ashley gasped

"Oh my goodness!" Brittney streaked.

They drove up his driveway. Both girls were very nervous and very excited. Ashley stopped the car and they got out. "Now remember. Don't embarrass me." Ashley hissed as she watched Nick come out the door. Ashley sighed. He did look as good as in pictures. Nick sighed. Ashley did look good. Not as hot as the other Ashley Smith, but at least she wasn't a sexy slut. Britney sighed. She was really seeing Nick Carter.

"Hey," Nick called out.

"Hello," Ashley said.

"Oh my goodness," Britney breathed.

Nick smiled, "Aaron!" He called and Aaron came out the door in a second.

Britney felt like her heart was going to stop. She stopped dead in her tracts.

Nick and Lee finally met. They smiled at each other.

"You ready to go down to the beach?" He asked.

"Yea," she breathed. "Come on, Britney."

"Aaron," Nick introduced. "This is Ashley and this Britney. Come on, let's go on down to he beach."

They all walked down to the beach together. When they got there they found a volleyball net. "Brothers against sisters?" Nick asked smiling.

"Okay," Ashley laughed. "Wait! How good are you?"

"We're okay. Not good - not bad."

"Same here."

They split up a played for a while (the boys won). Finally Aaron announced: "I'm hot. I'm going to go swim."

"That's a good idea," Nick agreed as he pulled of his shirt.

The boys went on down to the watered Britney timidly took of her clothes (not the bathing suit - don't get the wrong idea. they weren't skinny-dipping) and went down to the water. She still hadn't talked much. She was too much in awe of wh she was with. She STILL had not gotten over meeting AARON CARTER. Lee sat down on the sand. She didn't want to take off her dress.

"Aren't you going to swim?" Nick asked.

"I don't think I will," she hesitated.

"Come on," Nick pleaded.

"No."

"Why not?' He begged.

"I don't really. . . "

"She doesn't want to take off her dress," Britney replied.

"Aw, come on," Nick laughed.

"No!" Ashley exclaimed.

"If you don't come on I'm going to come over there and pick you up."

"I'm perfectly happy where I am." she replied. He walked over to where she was sitting and picked her up.

"What? What are you doing?" she questioned kicking a little. He carried her out in the water and dropped her in. She came back up and dunked him in He splashed her playfully and she splashed back. Soon they were having a huge water fight.

"Come on, Aaron, Britney, join in." Nick laughed. Aaron splashed right as Britney opened her mouth to say "NO." the water went into her mouth.

"Eww!!" She shrieked.."that tasted nasty."

Aaron laughed and splashed her again. She lunged over toward hm and tackled him. They went down in water again.

Ashley suddenly stopped. "Did my sister just tackle your brother?" she asked.

"Did she?"

"I think so."

"Why?"

"Don't know."

They resurfaced fighting and soon went back down again.

Ashley was watching with her mouth open so Nick couldn't resist and HAD to splash her. "You got it in my mouth!" She exclaimed. "It tasted nasty." She splashed him back, but of course she was lucky enough to get it in his mouth. Aaron and Britney came up again and started splashing each other. Gradually both couples stopped their water fight and they got their stuff and headed inside for a coke. Ashley saw that Briteny was doing much better with Aaron so she and Nick walked ahead. Aaron purposefully walked slowly. When they were a fair distance behind their older siblings Aaron told Britney something.

"Before you got here," he said.."Nick told me not to embarrass him. Of course, that gave me the idea that I just HAVE to embarrass him. I have an idea. Will you help me?" Nick and Ashley sat down on the back porch with her cokes, to talk.

"This was fun," Nick smiled. "Maybe we can do it again sometime."

"Yea!" Ashley smiled back.

"Okay. That's good."

"I was so worried about how Brittney would act when she met Aaron, but she was doing fine."

"I am glad she's doing okay too."

"Where are they?" Lee questioned.

Aaron lead Britney up into Nick's bedroom and closed the door behind her. He looked in one of the drawers and pulled out a pair of pink polka dotted boxers. Britney giggles, but looked a little embarrassed to be seeing a BSB's boxers. "Here hold the fishing pole," Aaron gave the fishing pole to Britney and she held it nervously as Aaron attached the boxers to the hook.

"Okay," he laughed, "let me have it back, and we'll drop it down.""He put the fishing pole out the window and released the line. "Come watch," he whispered to Britney. She jogged over and giggled as she looked out the window to see what was going on. She felt so close to Aaron she couldn’t believe it. A few days ago she was screamed at his signed picture now she was practically in his arms.

Lee looked out over the yard and started giggling. Nick followed her gaze and he saw his pink polka dotted boxers hanging in the air. His face turned the color of those boxers (without the polka dots) when Ashley asked: "Are those yours?"

"Yes," he mumbled as he hopped up and walked over to were they dangled. He reached up to grab them, but he just missed them. He reached up again and they were jerked up out of his reach. He tried to catch them time and time again, but never could. he lunged to the right one final time and fell over he heard Aaron and Brittney snickering above him. Ashley was DYING laughing. She got up and helped Nick back up onto his feet. "What are you laughing at?' He demanded as the pink polka dotted boxers came floating down and landed on his head.

"Think about it, Nick, it was kinda funny," Ashley giggled.

“I don't think so!" Nick exclaimed as he ran into the house to put up his boxers.

"Aaron and Britney walked innocently down the stairs. Ashley followed Nick and watched him as he yelled at Aaron. "Why'd you do that to me? I'm sending you home tomorrow!"

"Yes!!" Aaron exclaimed.

"You WANT to go?" Nick asked socked.

"Well, I do kinda miss the folks," Aaron sighed.

"If you want to go home then you have stay here," Nick fumed.

"Nick," Lee soothed," stop yelling at Aaron."

"You need to stop telling me what to do," Nick said turning to face her.

"I wasn't telling you what to do. I. . "

"Stop telling me what to do, okay?'

"Fine, then, I'll leave. come on Britney.'

"Do you think I care?" Nick fumed.

"I thought you did. . . "Ashley said as she walked out the door. She hurried into the car pulling Britney behind her. As they were driving of Britey turned around.

"Ashley!” she exclaimed, "Nick's come outside . He's telling us to come back."

"Do you think I care?" Ashley asked.

"I thought you did, Britney sulked.

They rode in silence for several minutes until Ashley said"I'm sorry."

"Sorry about what?" Britney questioned.

"Sorry about making you leave Aaron so soon."

"That's okay. I would have been happy enough to leave after I saw him."

"Why?" Lee asked confused.

"I never expected to meet him. I guess it's just a little too much for me. The closest I ever expected to get was close as I get t the concerts, but today we were like wrestling."

"You were wrestling?'

"In the water. . . "

"OH! I guess I just wasn't paying you too much attention then."

"Not really." Britney mumbled.

"If ya'll were wrestling and if he told you about that plan and got you to help, you must have a pretty good chance with him."

"Huh? I must have a pretty good chance with him? What do you mean?"

"For going out with him," Lee replied as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Going out with him?' Britney asked. "You think I want to GO OUT WITH HIM?"

"You don't?'

"No!"

"Why not?'

"Why should I?'

"Lots of girls would die for the chances you have."

"Well, then they're silly. There isn't an reason I would want to go out with him just because he's famous. I would think there would be more disadvantages to going out with him than advantages. If I liked him it would be a different story, but I don't really even know him."

"So you don't want to go out with him?" Lee asked slowly.

"No."

"Okay. I was just thinking it would be so cute if I went out with Nick and you went out with Aaron, but that's alright. I'll just go out with Nick, maybe."

"Oh, ya'll will make-up."

"How do you know?"

"Ya'll are crazy about each other."

"How do you know he's crazy about me?'

"If he wasn't his face wouldn't have been that red."

As Ashley and Britney left Aaron tried to slip back up to his room, but Nick came back and caught him before he made it. "I hate! I don't want you in my house anymore! I don't care about punishing you! Now she's never taken me."

"Yes she will,' Aaron sighed.

"How do you know?" Nick demand.

"If she didn't really like you already she wouldn't have come. Besides when she left, she looked more upset than mad."

"Than why didn't she turn around?' Nick questioned fiercely.

"You treated her pretty bad for a first date."

"And how did you treat Britney?'

"Britney and I weren't having a date. I"m not interested in her, quite frankly I would have been just as happy to have not met her.I don't even think she was interested in me in that way. She’s just crazy about me as a singer."

"So you don't think I blew it?"

"Naw!"

"Maybe I'll call and ask Brian for his advice. Ow! I need to call the other Ashley Smith.” Nick muttered to himself as he walked down the stairs.
