As time passed, ICE's popularity remained intact. The fans,at times, would do crazy things, lie trying to hide in the tourbus or sneaking in behind the equipment people backstage just to meet the girls. They hardly ever succeeded but the girls always signed autographs for them. One thing they couldn't stand about some stars was that they could be so rude sometimes to their fans.

Chris got tickets to 2 concerts in the FRONT ROW in Miami , FL and San Diego CA. Terri never noticed him thank god. He watched every move 'his girl' made and listened to every note she sang and smiled in his head at his new plan. In his sick twisted mind, whenever she sang her solos or danced in his direction, that she was doing it for him.

November 30th

Chris dialed Mana's # to see if Terri was over there. When he got the answering, he slammed down the phone and dialed Erik's #. The answering machine message came on, and Chris pounded on the wall of the phone booth. He decided to just leave a message to send chills down their spines. The Devil horns seemed to sprout out of his head as he left the booth after hanging up the phone. ( Coming back from Grocery Shopping ).

Erik - I thought we'd never get out of there.

Terri - I know the twins wanted everything in sight, fans were bugging for autographs, and we had loads of fun getting the groceries inside.

Erik - ( presses the machine button as they head into the kitchen ) - GIRLS COME ON AND HELPS UNPACK THE GROCERIES !!!!!!!!!.

Desi + Katelyn - OKAY !!!!!.

Terri - NO EATING ANYTHING TILL AFTER SUPPER.

Katelyn - WHY NOT ?!?!?!( they run out ).

Erik - ( as they come back in the kitchen ) - Then you won't eat supper goofballs.

Desiree - Yuh Huh.

Erik - More like Nuh Uh.

Desiree - Please Mommy ?.

Terri - Fine.

Desi and Katelyn - YES. ( Erik gives her a look ).

Terri - After supper.

Desi + Katelyn - Oh snickers. ( laughs emerge from Erik and Terri ).

Erik - Did you hear any of the messages on the answering machine ?.

Terri - Nope. Did you ?.

Erik - Uh Uh.

Terri - Let's eat first and then check them. If there was anything important, they'll call again.

Erik - Hey girls, ready to eat ?.

Twins - YES !!!!!!!!.

Erik, Terri, and the girls - Pizza or Pizza ?.

" " - Pizza !!!!!!!.

----

Erik pressed the answering machine as Terri handed the girls their pudding ( Desiree - Chocolate, Katelyn - Vanilla ) and joined him. They had 6 different messages. 1st and 4th were from Mana wondering if they wanted to come over for a little barbecue picnic thing. 2nd was from Christina , just calling to see how everything was. 3rd and 5th were wrong numbers. The last one they heard sent a chill down their spines.

" Hey there you two. This next time I will not fail. Terri is gonna be mine no matter what anyone says or does.

It's too bad you didn't die von Detten. It would have been nice to get you out of the way. Well, my new plan will work either way. Next you may NOT be so lucky. That's goes for your brats too. If my love tries to get taken away from me, I'll kill her AND myself. Goodbye for now and I'm coming VERY soon to take her to ME who she should have been with all along. GOODBYE, but not for long. Kisses to you Terri."

Erik just stood there as Terri clung to him for dear life. She couldn't even believe that Chris would call again. Erik thought to himself ' DAMN YOU CHRIS !. Why can't you just leave us the fuk alone !. You almost freakin' killed me and Desi. He means business this time and we don't even know where or when he will strike.

If we go on vacation, he's gonna end up finding us anyhow. No matter what we do he's gonna find us. I gotta protect her no matter the cost. The problem is, how ?. Chris is beyond nuts. He needs to kill himself and spare everyone the pain.'

Erik was so deep in his thoughts as Terri was when their twins made them scream and jump out of their skins. Desiree and Katelyn were laughing their heads off as Katelyn ran to get Jurassic Park out. Desi dragged her parents ,who were shaking their heads and laughing at their energetic four year olds. They pushed play on the VCR after putting the tape in. It was the wrong tape so everyone looked until they found the right one as the WHOLE gang came over ( JC + Lori , Justin and Tiff., Peggy and Lance, Joey ( he and Britney broke up, I'll explain more later this is their 2nd and last breakup ), Eric, Patrick, Cara, Christina, etc.) for a HUGE sleepover. After the movie was over, Erik played the message Chris had left and everyone was frightened out of their skins.
