"Ok, Brian, Nick, Meg, and Fatima on bus #2," The tour manager ordered, "The Backstreet Band on bus #1 and Kevin, Howie, AJ, and Muzic on bus #3. Ok, hurry up, we're on a schedule here!" They all went in their busses and took off.
Muzic sat down on the couch by the window and saw Howie with a video camera. "You had to take that with you?" she asked.
"Yup. I always bring a video camera when we're on tour. And plus, I have a new cousin arriving. I just want him or her to know what's it like being a Backstreet Boy." Howie replied.
"This will be fun." Muzic mumbled under her breath.
"Did you say something Muzic?" Howie asked.
"Oh no, nothing at all."
"Say hi to mom, Muz." Howie said.
"You're so immature." Muzic said.
"You're calling me immature?! Look at him!" Howie pointed at AJ posing for himself on the mirror with his new leopard hat. Muzic laughed.
"Hi mom." Muzic waved to the camera.
"Anything else?" Howie asked.
"Nah. Let the cousin breathe."
"Ok. Hey Brian. Anything you want to say to little Candice or Christopher?"
"Yeah. Hey lil' guy or gal. Since you'll be here soon I think I should let you know something. Never lend money to AJ. Not even if he begs, and he will." Brian said waving goodbye. AJ heard and turned to the camera.
"That's Brian. You'll notice him. He's the one in eye level." AJ said. Howie pulled away the camera and looked at AJ.
"What goes around, comes around."AJ shrugged. A few minutes later Brian left to get on his bus. The door closed and they started to move.
"Hey, we're moving." AJ said.
"No, its just an earth quake." Kevin said sarcastically, walking in the room they were in. Muzic chuckled.
"So where we heading?" Muzic asked.
"We're gonna be performing in the Dodger's Stadium, then we're going to.... Um.... somewhere else... I can’t think right now."AJ said.
"Are we gonna go to Vegas at all?"Muzic asked.
"Yeah, in about two weeks.” AJ said.
"Cool! You think we'll have a few days off there?" Muzic asked.
"Maybe."AJ said.
"Now tell me, how did we get stuck with this guy over here? Did we do something wrong? Are we being punished?" Howie asked Kevin.
He shrugged."I don't know. But whatever we did, I learned my lesson."
"I guess we can live with him, but I can’t say the same for Muzic." Howie whispered to Kevin. Muzic heard, went over to him, and slapped his shoulder.
"I mean, he never shared his candy." Howie said childishly.
"Ya'll just gotta learn how to ask." Muzic said holding her hand out. AJ gave her a piece of gum.
"Now can I have my hat back?" He asked.
"That's easy for you. You're a girl." Howie pointed out.
"Yeah. You mean I have to wear a skimpy dress, a long wig, and some lipstick to get some candy? It's not worth it." Kevin said,"I'd rather grow a fro and have everyone call me Donna."
"Ok, Donna."Muzic said.
"Look, its getting dark."AJ said pointing to the window.
"No, the sun's just taking a nap." Kevin said. AJ walked over to Kevin and slapped his shoulder. Kevin rubbed his shoulder.
"You know, you guys are really meant for each other." Kevin said.
"I'm going to bed." Muzic said.
"Say goodnight to my cousin." Howie said. Muzic walked over to Howie.
"Goodnight." She whispered. She went into another room with 2 bunks.
"Who gets which bunk?!"She yelled. The guys came over to the room.
"I want top bunk,"AJ and Muzic said at the same time. They looked at each other.
"Good God. If you guys shared a bunk, only god knows what will happen."Kevin said.
"I'll take the bunk, Muz is in." Kevin added. Howie nodded and turned off the camera. He put it in his bag.
"Let's all hit the sack," Howie said. They all nodded. Muzic quickly grabbed her pajamas and ran to the bathroom. She shut the door.
"That's what we get for sharing a bus with a girl, and only one girl."Howie said.
"What do you mean?"AJ asked.
"I mean, Brian's bus has two girls-"
"Which makes it harder for them and easier for us,"AJ interrupted.
"That's not the point,"Howie said.
Everybody got dressed and said goodnight.
"I wonder what Muzic and everyone else are doing," Megan wondered aloud.
"Maybe, they're sleeping?" Brian suggested.
"That was a rhetorical question." Megan said.
"Do you wanna play Nintendo?" Brian asked her, ignoring her comment.
"No, maybe later." Megan said.
"Nick?" Brian asked, pleadingly.
"Later Frick." Nick said wrapping his arms around Megan.
Brian groaned. "How about you Fatima? You're my only hope." He all but begged.
"Ok," Fatima said sitting next to Brian, "You big baby."
"Who's the red guy?" Fatima asked.
"That's Mario." Brian said.
"No, I mean is that me or you?" She asked. Suddenly Mario died.
"That was you." Brian answered.
"Great." Fatima whispered.
"Hey, look. I'm gonna take some pictures of ya'll on the bus." Megan said taking the poloroid camera out of her knapsack. She was just going to have a little fun, there was no use in getting out her good camera.She pointed the camera at Nick. "Say cheese!" she said. Nick smiled.
"Cheese!!" The camera flashed. Megan took out the picture out of the camera and put it on the table.
"Brian, Fatima, smile!" Megan said. Fatima turned around and smiled. Brian put his hands up and gave her a big smile. And the camera flashed. She set the other picture next to Nick's picture. As soon as the pictures were clear Megs picked them up.
"These look cool," Megan whispered, "Check it out everybody." They smiled at their pictures and laughed at Brian's pictures. "I'm bored, so I'll scan them right now." Megan went over to the table where they had set up the scanner. She took out her laptop and hooked it up with the scanner. She went into the Internet and scanned the pictures. She put the pictures on the web site and typed in:
San Francisco, California Monday, June 13
~On Tour~
Nick, Brian, and Fatima are on bus #2 and AJ, Kevin, and Howie are on bus #3. The guys are restless and the anticipation for the next concert at the Dodgers Stadium, is killing them.
On bus #2 Fatima and Brian are playing Nintendo and if you're real curious the game is: Mario Kart. So far Fatima is losing : ). I guess you can't defeat the master of Nintendo, Brian Littrell. But only because he hasn't challenged the Blonde Prince, Nickolas Carter.
Picture #1, Nick gives one of his best smiles to all of the dedicated fans.
Picture #2, Fatima shows us her warm smile, while Brian gives a cheer and his biggest smile.
We just couldn't bare the humiliation but we laughed anyway.
More to come, especially on stage.
Megan decided not to include Muzic or herself for a while, so that the fans could get used to the being on tour. Nick came over to her and started playing with her hair. Megan finished saving the page before turing off both the computer and the scanner.
"I'm going to bed, ok?" Megan said, turning to Nick.
"Alright." he said giving her a kiss. She went inside and got up on the top bunk. Nick went in the bottom bunk, under Megan.
"Goodnight sweetie." Nick said.
"Goodnight babe." Megan said. She was just about to fall asleep when the door opened. "What are you doing here?" Megan asked, sleepily as Fatima walked into the room and started getting ready for bed,.
"I just beat Bri on Mario Kart and I refuse to play again because he might win. I figure to let him drown in his own sorrow." Fatima said getting on the lower bunk across from Megan and Nick's bunks. Just then Brian came in with a sour look on his face.
"Don't look so down, Frick. Just because you got beat by Fatima, a girl. I mean you got beaten a lot worse by me." Nick said.
"Honey, I think you better stop right there." Megan said.
"Aw, its alright Megs. I'm not upset." Brian said.
"You're not?" Megan asked, stifling a yawn.
"You're not?!" Nick echoed.
"You're not?!?!" Fatima echoed. She was the most surprised.
"I'm not. Congratulations Fatima." Brian smiled sleepily.
"Why, thank you kindly." Fatima said in a fake southern accent.
"Goodnight everyone." Megan said, reaching over the edge of her bunk and turning out the lights.
"Goodnight." They all echoed and fell asleep.
