~*Chapter XI*~

"No, I'm not going! You can't make me!" Candy screamed.

AJ, Samantha, and Elisa tried to convince her to go to the concert the boys were having that night right in front of Planet Hollywood and the other restaurants by EuroDisney. "Candy! It's not everyday we come to EuroDisney as a group and have the Backstreet Boys perform. You could at least come and have some fun with Elisa and me. We missed you, and when we finally get to see each other, you're gonna ruin it for us," Samantha explained.

"I'm not ruining anything. I just don't want to go!"

AJ kneeled down in front of Candy who was sitting on the edge of her bed, not willing to change her decision and give in to them. "Candy. Just listen to me for a sec. I understand you're mad at Brian, or he's mad at you or whatever. But don't let Samantha and Elisa be a part of your anger. You're cousins, and you haven't seen them for so long because of boarding school. They're excited you're with them, aren't you excited to be with them? You've got two choices: One: have them stay here with you and you guys can do whatever you want...be depressed and disappoint them...or Two: Come and watch the guys and me. You'll all have a great time, trust me. But I'm not gonna let you stay here alone and pout while the girls are out partying."

Candy stared at the wall in front of her trying to avoid AJ's eyes, and sat in silence as her mind absorbed AJ's words. "Don't you want to see me dance?" AJ pleaded. He knew how much Candy loved his professional dance moves, and she started to laugh lightly.

After a few more moments of silence, "Okay, I'll go," she sighed.

"Yay!" they cheered, and gave her a big hug.

"You won't regret it. I promise you," AJ whispered with a sweet gleam in his eyes.
