The next morning Gwen woke up and went down the steps into the kitchen. She got a cup of milk and sat down at the table. She was soon joined by Nick. He sat across from her and they started talking.

"I think were haveing a cook out at my house with everyone. Like Donna and Johnny and Abbys parents, just a ton of people." Nick stated sipping his milk. "Ohh, that should be fun!" Gwen said now fully awake. "Yeah, I guess." Nick sadi getting up and putting his cup into the dish washer.

"Nick is something wrong?" Gwen asked as she went over and stode by him. "No, nothings wrong" Nick said leaveing the room. "Ok nothings wrong" Gwen said to herself. Gwen went up stairs to where Abby was still sleeping in Brians bed.

Brian soon got up who was sleeping on the couch. "Hey Nick!" Brian said with a smile. "hi" Nick barely replied. "Well what crawled up you butt?!" Brian stated looking at Nick. "Nothing, just tired. I'm going home to help my mom set up!" Nick said leaving. "Well you want a ride?" Brian asked. "No, I'll walk" Nick said shuting the front door. "Whats wrong with him!?" Brian asked himself. But he soon forgot about it and went to get into the shower.

"Hey I got an Idea! Lets go and put shaving cream on AJ!!" Gwen stated with a grin. "Ohh but he'll get mad, lets do it!!" ABby ageed with that same grin on. They went down the hall into the bathroom. "Woow wait a min. here, who wants to come in?" Brian asked holding the door shut. "Its Gwen and Abby." Gwen stated. "Oh, I guess thats alright." Brian let them in. "Do you have any shaving cream?" Abby asked. "Why?" Brian asked. "Well we wanns get AJ with it!" Gwen stated looking for some cream. "Ohh in that case here you are!" Brian said throwing Gwen a can od Polo shaving cream. "Abby wait I want to talk to you." Brian said before she could leave. "Ok, I'll be right out Gwen." Abby said.

"What is it Brian?" Abby asked. "Nick, do you know whats wrong with him?" Asked Brian. "Nope Gwen said he was in a bad mood and she doesn't know why either" Abby stated. "Ohh, alright. Thanks anyway." Brian said with a small smile. Abby smiled back and joined Gwen in the hall.

"You ready??" Abby asked. "You bet!!" Gwen said and they headed for AJ's room. They slowly went over to the sides of the bed. Gwen put a little bit of cream in there hands and they put it onto AJs' hands. Then Gwen lightly blew on his face and they watched him rub his face. ~*~ AJ's face was now covered on shaving cream. Brian came in with the video camera and was tapeing the whole thing.

AJ!!!!!!!! Brian yelled so he would wake up now that the girls were done. AJ quickly sat up and opened his eyes but all he saw was white. "What the?" AJ said not knowing what was going on."BRIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats it you are a dead man!!!!!!!" AJ yelled now runing after him. "Man it wasn't me, the girls did it." Brian said now running down the steps. Gwen and Abby just laughed at the 2. "AJ got Brian to the ground and started take the shaving cream off him and putting it on Brian. "Ohh come on man! I just got out of the shower, the girls did it!" Brian said pushing AJ off him and standing up. "Look man, I said I didnt do it. I did not do it" Brian said walking back into the bathroom to clean up. AJ just walked up the steps to find the girls. "Abby sweetie, I need to talk to you" AJ said from out side of Brians door. Abby slowly opened the door to see AJ standing there still covered. Abby tryed to shut the door but AJ pulled her out side and she was soon covered as was Gwen.

With in the next hour Kevin, Howie, Mandy, Shar and Faith were all at Brian and AJ's place waiting to go to the cook out at Nicks. "Hey everyone come into the living room I gotta show you what we have on tape!" Brian yelled. Everyone sat in front of the tv and started watching AJ get covered in the shaving cream. Everyone was laughing but AJ. "Abby, Gwen I never knew you could be so briliant." Kevin said laughing with the others. "I did, one time they did that to me!" Faith said remembering that on girls night they had about 4 months ago.

After they watched the video about 5 times AJ got sick of it and tunred it off. "We have to bring that to mom's!" Kevin stated still laughing like there was no tommorrow. As were the other's. AJ just rolled his eyes and went to get he's key's to head to Nicks. "Hey Faith you wanna ride with me??" AJ asked. "Yeah sure!" Faith said and they were off. "Yeah we better get going!" Kevin said. They all so arrived at Nick house.

"Nick buddy, I have to talk to you!" Brian said pulling him into his room "What is it?" Nick simply replied asked. "MAn what is your problem? You are in a bad mood. Now whats going on?" Brian asked his friend. "Nothings wrong, I'm fine." Nick stated leaving the room.

Abby and Gwen were talking to Aaron about pranks they could do to the guys on the tour. Then Nick came over. "Hey Gwen!" Nick said with a smile. "Ohh Nick Hi!" Gwen said walking away with Nick. Abby just gave them a look and went back to talking to Aaron.

"Ohh, I have a good one. We can put wax on AJs sun glasses right before he goes on stage. By the time he'll find out we did it he'll be singing away!" Aaron said with a giggle. "Ohh thats a good one!!" Abby said laughing with Aaron. "Whats so funny?" AJ said. "Oh nothing" Aaron said and walked away to get something to eat. AJ just went back to rideing the ski doo he was on.

Denise soon came over to where Abby was sitting alone. "Abby sweetie what are you doing all by yourself?" Denise asked. "I don't know, I was with Gwen but she left me for Nick. Brian I have no clue where he is. I was with Aaron but he went to eat. The rest of the guy's are on the water." Abby stated. "Well where are the other girls?"--"They are swiming in the pool with BJ." Abby stated. "Well your parents are gonna be here soon." Denise stated. "Yeah I know, I think I'm gonna find Brian ok?" Abby said. "Yeah sure, have fun." Denise stated giving her a hug and went to talk with the girls parents.

Abby looked everywhere but couldn't find Brian so she went back out side. "Abby, you wanna go on the ski doo with me??" Kevin asked with a smile. "Yeah, that sounds like fun!" Abby agrend and she soon was out on the water with Kevin. "Kevin this is so much fun!" Abby giggled as they pulled up to the doc. "Yeah I know, I love it. Look I'm gonna go get something to eat, you wanna go on with Howie?" Kevin asked. "Yeah I'd love to!" ABby said as she got on with Howie.

"Hey Abby, you wanna drive?" Howie asked slowing down. "Well yeah but I don't know how" Abby replied. "Girl, thats not a problem, I'll teach you." Howie stated with a sweet smile. "Ok, but don't think I'll be good at it." Abby stated about to switch spots with Howie. "Here let me help you" Howie said grabing Abby's hand to make sure she didn't fall into the water.

"Leo, Ann its nice to see you again" Brian said as he sat in the Carters living room. "Its nice to see you too" Ann said with a smile. "So wheres Abby?" Leo asked. "Abby, I don't know. Havent seen her all day." Brian said looking at his watch. "Well we'll see her soon" Ann stated and her and Leo went to get some food.

Brian soon got up and went out side to try to look for Abby. But he didn't find her anywhere. "Here Abby let me help you. This is the gas, and there is no break just let off on the gas when you want to stop." Howie said showing Abby what to do from the back seat. "Ok here it goes, hold on tight!" Abby said only half jokeing. "ABBY!!!!" Howie yelled. Abby tuned around to see Howie in the water. Abby couldnt help but laugh. "Howie I said to hold on tight." Abby said trying not to laugh to much. Abby went over to Howie to help him up but he ended up pulling her in with him. They both started laughing un-controllbly. "Girl that is the last time I let you drive when I'm on the back." Howie said jokeing. "I am so sorry, I didn't know" Abby said with a small smile. "It's ok, how about I get on then help you on." Howie suggested. Abby agreed. Howie got on safely then helped Abby up. "Here you can drive still, but look back every once~N~awhile and see if I'm still there." Howie said and Abby started driveing again. This time Howie held on tight.

"Hey Kevin have you seen Abby?" Brian asked. "Yeah B-Rok, shes with Howie on the jet ski." Kevin stated. "Ohh that where she is" Brian said walking over to watch the water.

"Abby, doll, please don't go over the waves so fast you might get us hurt." Howie stated lightly. "Ok, I wont anymore." Abby replied. "Thanks" Howie said warmly. Brian watched Howie and Abby laughing and started to get jealous and a little mad. After about 2 more hours of rideing the jet ski Abby and Howie come in to get some food. They were still laughing about all they did.

"Abby, baby there you are, come here doll" Brian said pulling here away from Howie as fast as he could. "Brian, let go of me, that was so rude and whats up the the names.?!?" Abby said shocked at the way Brian was acting. "Whats going on with you and Howie?" Brian asked. "What do you mean, we were just having fun. You could of came out side but you stayed in side ALL day!" Abby said walking back to where Howie was.

"Whats up with Brian, I have never seen him be so rude to a girl before?" Howie asked. "I don't know, I think hes tired" Abby stated as she ate.

Brian soon came back out to get Abby. "Abby your parents are here they want to see you" Brian stated giving Howie an evil eye. "Ok I'm coming, Howie have you meet my parents?" Abby asked. "Yeah I did yesterday, but I'll come in and say hi" Howie stated following Abby.

"Hi mom, Hi dad!" Abby said with a smile. "Abby, hi how are you?" Ann asked. "I'm fine and you?" Abby asked. "Were fine" Leo said for both him and Ann. "You've meet Howie right?" Abby asked. "Yes, and Hi Howie." Ann said with a warm smile. "Hello Ann. And Leo" Howie said sweetly. After Abby said hi to her parents she went back out side to find something to do.

"Abby there you are, I'v been looking for you." Gwen said. Ohh really, I thought you would be with Nick all day. Didnt think you would want me around Abby thought to herself. "Hi Gwen." Abby said with a smile. "So what have you been up to?" Gwen asked. "Well I had so much fun with Howie, we went on the jet ski, It was the best!!" Abby said with a huge smile.

"Ohh cool!! I'm about to go on with Nick, just telling you so you don't go crazy looking for me." Gwen said and she was off with Nick again.

"Kevin can I talk to you?" Brian asked. "Yeah sure Bri, what about?" Kevin asked following him into Nicks bedroom. "Well about Howie. Hes been hanging around Abby ALL day, and its bugging me. I think she likes him" Brian said in a panic. "Brian calm down, just because Howie and Abby get along good doesnt mean she likes him. She's with you. Come on Brian, do you trust her?" Kevin said. "Well, Yeah but Howies a sweet guy and she looked so happy with him." Brian started to get in a panic agina. "Brian, look dont worry about it everything will work out in the end." Kevin said and then Brian was fine and went to play B-ball with Aaron.

Abby went around front to find Aaron and she did. Brian was tickleing him on the ground. Abby smiled to herself and walking over to Brian and Aaron. "Abby, Hi" Aaron said with a smile. "Hi sweetie" Abby smiled back. "I'm gonna go find Nick!!" Aaron said running to the back. Brian sat there on the lawn looking at Abby.

Abby went over and sat by him. "So, have fun today?" Brian asked. "Yes, I had so much fun." Abby said with a smile. "Good" Brian replied. "Abby looked I'm sorry I flip out on you earlyer, It wont happen again." Brian said sweetly. Abby just smiled at him and gave him a quick kiss. "Its ok" Abby said pulling Brian up from the ground. Both Abby and Brian went to try to talk to Abbys parents some more.

"Abby, sweetie we need to get going back to Ohio soon. Heres the phone number and here some stuff for you to looka at tommorrow on the way to Brian and Kevins parents house." Abbys dad stated handing her a kinda small box. Leo gave Abby a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Bye Abby"--"Bye dad" Abby said with a weak smile. Ann just stode there looking at her. "Mom come here" ABby said and gave her mom a hug the first hug in 4 years. "Bye mom." Abby stated with a smile. "Bye sweetie" Ann said and they were off.

Nick gave them both an evil eye behind there backs but went out of the room anyway. "Abby what is it?" Brian asked. "Well I lost my earing. Can you help me find it?" Abby asked. "Yeah sure." Brian said looking at her. Umm Abby its hooked on your shirt" Brian said with a smile. "Ohh thanks" Abby said. "Well I better go talk to Nick now." Brian said. "Nick what were you saying?" Brian asked. "Nothing, never mind about it" Nick said coldly. "Well fine be a grump" Brian said leaving Nick alone.

Faith asked. "Yeah sure knock your selfs out" Kevin replied leaveing the room. Abby went through all the A's to find old letters from her.
