The guys sang songs from all of their albums and also did their solo
songs.
"Thank you! All of our fans our great," Kevin said after the performance.
"Yeah, what he said," agreed Nick and Brian. Howie and AJ said their
thanks and everyone went backstage. Two minutes later, Nick and Brian ran
back on-stage. They each grabbed something off stage before returning backstage.
The crowd once again, went crazy. Nick had taken a dog beanie baby and
Brian took a light brown, stuffed bear.
Ten minutes later, Kaitlin and Jennifer made their way backstage. The first people they saw were Nick's twin sister and brother, Aaron and Angel, and their mom, Jane.
"Hey, Aaron," Jennifer said to him.
"Hello. Are you the two girls that I met last time we were here?" Aaron
questioned.
"Yup, that's us," answered Kaitlin.
"Cool. Hey, mom, can I show them where Nick and the guys are?"
"Yes, you can."
"Ok, thanks. Oh yeah, this is my twin sister, Angel."
"Hey, Angel," Kaitlin and Jennifer said together.
"Hi," Angel replied shyly.
"Ok, so Aaron, are you going to show us where the guys are?" Jennifer
wondered out loud.
"No, but Nick can," Aaron told her as Nick joined the group.
"Hello Nicky," Jane said to her son.
"Hi mom, and Aaron, Angel, Jen and Katy."
"Nick, that's Kaitlin, NOT Katy! Sorry, but I hate that name."
"Ok, no problem. Are you girls going to come with me to see the other
guys? Or stay here and talk to them?"
"I am going with Nick," Kaitlin told them. "No offense to you guys."
"Yeah, me too. No offense," agreed Jennifer.
"Hey, Nick, can I come with you?" Aaron wanted to know.
"Yeah, hurry up." With nothing else said the four of them walked down
a long hallway to the very last door on the left. A red sign on the door
read, "Meeting Room" in black letters.
"Hey guys," Aaron said as he burst into the room.
"Hey Aaron. How are all of you doing?" Kevin asked.
"We're just fine. Great job on the concert," Kaitlin told Kevin. The
rest of the group said hi to each other. A couple of minutes later there
was a knock at the door.
"Who's there?" asked Howie
"It's Jane. There are three more girls out her. May they come in?"
"Yeah, send them in." Jane let the three girls into the room.
"Hi, my name is Sarah. This is Brie and Nikki," one of the girls told
everyone.
"Hey, I am Jennifer. This is my best friend, Kaitlin."
"Hello, I am Brian. These guys are Nick, Howie, AJ, Kevin and
Nick's little brother, Aaron."
"Uh, Brian?" Nick questioned.
"What Nick?"
"I think they already knew who we were. You didn't really have to tell
them."
"Oh, yeah, I knew that!"
"Hey, Nick? Can we three get your guys' autographs?" Brie asked him.
"Yes, you can."
"I still can't believe we are standing her talking to the Backstreet
Boys," Nikki whispered to her friends.
"Yeah, me neither, but I know we are. So we will have to get over it
sooner or later," Sarah agreed.
Brie suddenly asked another question, "Can we have our picture taken
with all of you?"
"Yeah, sure," AJ told her.
"Can I be in the picture too?" Aaron wanted to know.
"Yes, you can. I get to stand next to Nick and Aaron," Brie informed
everyone.
"Cool! Someone wants to stand by me," shouted Nick.
"Nick, did you forget something?" Howie questioned.
"I don't think so. Well, I guess I could have, why?"
"Well, last time I knew, some ALWAYS wants to stand by you in pictures."
"Oh, yeah. I guess I did forget that."
Three group pictures were taken with each girl. Also the girls had their
pictures taken with just one or two of the other guys.
"Hey, sorry, but my mom is going to be picking Kaitlin and I up in
three minutes," Jennifer said as the last few pictures were taken.
"Ok, it was good to see you two again," Nick said.
"Bye everyone," Jennifer and Kaitlin said as they left the room. The
two of them went out to the front of the building to wait for Jennifer's
mom. Sarah, Nikki and Brie exchanged phone numbers and home address with
the Backstreet Boys, and left 12
minutes later.
"That was cool," Nick said once all of the girls were gone. "I just
love meeting our fans."
"Yeah, so do I," Brian agreed.
"Hey, Nick, I am getting tired," Aaron said through yawns. "Let's go
back to the hotel."
"I am getting tired too. Let's go," AJ agreed with Aaron. Everyone
else agreed, so they left to go find Angel and Jane.
"Hey, mom, we are ready to go back to the hotel," Nick told Jane.
"Ok, let's go then." They all walked outside to Jane's and Denise's
cars. Angel, Nick, Aaron and Brian went with Jane in her car. While AJ,
Howie and Kevin went with Denise. When they arrived at the hotel, everyone
hurried inside to their first floor
rooms. Jane, Angel and Denise were sharing a room. Then there was Nick
and Aaron in one room. The four remaining guys split up into the last two
rooms. There was Kevin and Brian in one room, with AJ and Howie in the
other. Once everyone was in their rooms, they fell asleep almost instantly.
At 10:00 the next morning, the phone rang in Nick's room. This caused
him to wake up suddenly.
"Hello? Who is this?" Nick asked into the phone. All he heard was quiet
laughter. It sounded as if it was coming from two people.
"Jeez, don't you even know your own brother?" Nick was asked.
"Yeah, but not on the phone first thing in the morning. Hey, where
are you?"
"I am in Brian's room."
"Oh, ok. So, what did you want?"
"Just to wake you up. Looks like it worked."
"It worked all right. I am going to get dressed and then come
down there."
"Ok."
"Don't annoy Brian and Kevin to much before I get there. Bye."
"Ok, I'll try not to. Bye Nicky."
Nick hurried and got ready, walked down to Brian's room, and knocked
on the door. No one answered the door. Nick knocked again, but no one answered.
"Come on guys. Let me in," Nick complained. No one answered that either.
"Ok, fine. Don't let me in. I am going back to my room," Nick said
as returned back the way he had just came.
"Hey, Nicky, come back," Aaron called after him.
"Hey, Airboy. Why didn't you guys answer the door?"
"Uh, because we were playing "Mario Cart." Well, at least Brian and
I were."
"Ok, so what is Kevin's excuse?"
"My excuse for what?" Kevin asked as he came out of AJ and Howie's
room.
"Your excuse for not letting me into your room. Well, never mind, you
weren't in there," Nick informed him.
"No, I wasn't in there. I was over talking to AJ and D."
Kevin, Nick and Aaron went back into Brian and Kevin's room. They played
"Mario Cart" and watched TV until about 11:30. Then there was a knock at
the door.
"Who's there?" Aaron asked.
"It's Jane. We have to leave in 15 minutes."
"Ok mom."
"Mom? Isn't this Brian and Kevin's room?"
"Yeah, but Nick and I are in here too."
"Ok, well you and Nick go back to your own room. Get ready so we leave
on time for Canada." Nick and Aaron then left Brian and Kevin's room and
went to their own. Everyone was ready to go within 10 minutes. By 11:45
everyone was on the
tour bus and ready to go. At 11:47 the bus was on the road. They were
off to Canada for the next Backstreet Boys concert.
