Part 1
"Hey, check it out! We got six pages! Ha! 'N Sync didn't even make it!" AJ cheered. He plopped down on the couch of the tour bus next to Nick. He opened the special summer 2000 issue of Teen People. "There's our article," he pointed out. Nick looked away from the window and glanced at AJ.
"Lemme see," Nick said as he grabbed the magazine. He turned a page. "Hmmmm.... there's Brian....and Howie...." AJ rolled his eyes. Nick skimmed through the article and turned the page again. "Ha! There I am!" he exclaimed.
"Very good, Nicky. Next week we'll work on color recognition," AJ teased.
Nick ignored him and continued. "I think these pictures turned out good. But then again, of course they'd be good....look at therir subject," he boasted.
"Not to be egotistical or anything," Brian commented as he walked towards them from the bunks. He sat down in a chair opposite AJ and Nick.
"You would've died if I didn't help you pick out what to wear," AJ reminded.
"Bone, it doesn't take a fashion designer to find a black T-shirt to wear," Nick replied.
"Not just any T-shirt....a Levi's T-shirt. Besides, if I didn't help you, you'd probably have come out wearing a yellow haltertop," AJ joked.
Nick didn't catch on. "I like yellow," he said cooly.
AJ snickered. "Only because Twinkies are yellow."
"That isn't why!" Nick said angrily.
"Plus, it's so not your color," AJ added in his best fem impression. Nick glared and threw the magazine back at him. Brian started to laugh and Nick looked at him. AJ saw his chance and threw the Teen People at Nick, hitting him in the head.
"Now girls," Brian began as Nick and AJ stared eachother down, "don't fight." Nick rolled his eyes and stood up. He walked past Brian, magazine in hand, and hit him in the head.
"Ow! What was that for?" Brian asked innocently.
"Just because," Nick replied. He turned to walk away. AJ stuck his foot out and Nick walked right into it. He tripped and caught himself on the table. Nick whipped around and shot AJ a glare.
"Watch where you're going! You could have hurt my poor little foot!" AJ exclaimed. He smiled and Brian started laughing again. Nick clenched his fist and stalked off towards the bunks.
"Where ya goin'?" Howie asked as he walked past Nick.
"Away from them," Nick said simply. Howie nodded knowingly and went to sit down where Nick had been on the couch.
"What's up his butt?" Brian asked when he was sure Nick was out of earshot.
AJ shrugged. "He sure has been grumpy lately."
Howie picked up the Teen People on the floor and flipped through it. "Hey! There's us!" he exclaimed after a minute.
