“Yeah, I thinks that the second person that we met that was nice.” Stephanie stated as she got her make up case fixed.
“I like her. She seems to know the guys pretty well.” Lisa nodded as she pulled her long hair into a white pony tail holder. Theresa nodded along too, as she walked over to Stephanie’s bed and grabbed their tour booklet.
“Hey Theresa, what time do we leave here?” Stephanie asked as she neatly folded her clothes.
“Around 3pm.” Theresa informed as she sat the book back down on one of the end tables in the room. “Well guess what, I’m gonna go pack.”
“Me too.” Lisa said as her and Theresa headed out of the room.
-On the tour bus-
“Man, I swear there is nothing to do on theses stupid tour buses.” Theresa complained as she sat next to Lisa on the small couch that was in the front of the bus.
“That’s true.” Lisa sighed just when Stephanie busted out laughing.
“What are you laughing about?” Theresa asked as she cocked an eyebrow at her.
“Lisa, remember last night?” Stephanie laughed. Lisa sat there for a bit then she finally remembered back and started laughing too.
“Hold up! What happened last night? Would you two like to fill me in?” Theresa stated staring at her two friends.
“Theresa, last night while you were asleep…” Stephanie couldn’t finish cause she was laughing to hard.
“And you were moaning A.J’s name.” Lisa finished.
“I DID NOT!” Theresa yelled as she stood up to place her hands but fell over onto the floor when their tour bus hit a hard bump. “OWW!” Theresa wined as she stood back up.
“What the hell happened?” Stephanie wondered as she looked out the side window to see them pulling over and smoke trailing behind their bus.
“I have no idea.” Lisa answered just when their bus driver came back from behind the curtain.
“What happened, Billy?” Stephanie asked again.
“I think that when we hit that bump I blew a rod, and it might take awhile to fix it.” Billy explained.
“So what are we gonna have to do?” Lisa questioned crossing her arms.
“Well from what I see there’s another bus pulling up behind us…” Billy began as he peered out the window to see another large tour bus, “and I guess you ladies are gonna have to stay on that until we get this one fixed.”
“Ok.” Theresa nodded.
“So you ladies go get your things backed up while I talk to the other driver.” Billy suggested.
“Ok.” All the girls said as they headed into the back to grab all their things.
-Outside-
“Hey Billy what happened?” Asked the other bus driver from the other tour bus as he examined the broken down bus.
“I think I blew a pipe when I hit that large bump on the road.” Billy explained as he unlocked the bottom storage department of the bus to get the girls things.
“Ok, do you just want me to take the girls to D.C. While you get this thing fixed.” The driver offered.
“Would you Jason?” Billy said as he pulled out the large duffel bags.
“Sure.” Jason nodded as he picked up the bags and carried them to his bus where he placed them with his passenger’s belongings. When he came walking back he noticed the three young ladies stepping off the bus.
“Ok ladies, this will be your new bus driver for awhile. Jason this is Terri, Stephanie and Theresa.” Billy introduced pointing to each girl.
“Hello.” Jason nodded shaking each girl’s hand.
“Hi.” Theresa smiled.
“Hi.” Stephanie grinned.
“Hey.” Lisa greeted as she shook his hand to.
“Well if you’ll follow me, I’ll introduce you ladies to your new bus mates.” Jason said as he walked towards the bus with the girls close behind.
“Bye Billy.” All the girl’s said as they followed their new bus driver onto the bus.
“Here ladies. This is just like your bus but five out of the twelve bunks are taken ok. So just make your self at home. But just kind of watch out which bunk you climb into cause the guys are already asleep.” Jason explained.
“Guys?” Theresa repeated as a small smile appeared on her face.
“Yeah. The guys, A.J, Brian, Kevin, Howie, and Nick. But we do have one girl whose A.J’s girlfriend she’ll be on with us for a little while.” Jason replied as he pulled the keys out of his pants pocket.
“So this is the…”
“Backstreet Boys bus.” Lisa finished Stephanie’s statement.
“Oh man!” Theresa nearly yelled but before she could say anything else Stephanie put her hand over her mouth.
“Shh. We don’t want to start anything just yet.” Stephanie stated as she tossed her bags on the front couches.
“Well ladies I need to start boogying so we can be on our way.” Jason said. “Just make yourselves at home.” With that he headed into the front of the drivers section.
“Yeah, make ourselves at home.” Theresa mumbled under her breath.
-The next morning-
Nick was the first to wake that morning and thought that he’d go and play a quick game of Mario Kart before the others got up. Climbing out of his bunk in only boxers and a wife beater he headed towards the entertainment room. Before walking in he heard some voices talking. Dismissing the idea that it was a couple of obsessive fans he just thought that someone was already awake maybe Amanda and A.J. Pulling open the door he looked in and saw her. She was sitting there talking to his sworn enemy.
“Oh no, not you again.” Nick complained noticing Theresa look over and just smile at his wardrobe. “Why are you on my bus?”
“Your bus, sorry CARTER! This is our bus now.” Theresa smirked turning her attention back to the TV.
“Theresa.” Lisa hissed under her breath nudging her in the ribs with her elbow. “Excuse my friend she’s not a morning person.” Lisa apologized looking Nick up and down and liking what she saw. ‘Wow, sharing a bus with that, won’t be to bad.’ She thought to herself.
“Yeah, so I have experienced.” Nick stated rudely as he headed into the room to find an empty spot, which was next to Lisa.
“Yeah, but you always have to start them first.” Theresa said sternly crossing her arms and looking back at Nick.
“Well if you didn’t take my chips…”
“Excuse me they didn’t have your name written on them.” Theresa butted in.
“Well I was getting ready to get them!” Nick yelled.
“Sorry to have taken your ‘pride and joy’ but I saw them and It didn’t have your name written across it.” With that Theresa stood up off the couch and headed towards the door. As soon as she opened it she walked straight into another person, but instead of falling backward she fell straight into his arms.
“Nice to meet you again.” A.J smiled looking down at her and staring straight into her bluish green eyes.
“Can’t you guys walk.” Theresa said rudely as she pushed A.J away and walked past him and straight into the kitchenette.
“Damn, good morning to you too.” A.J frowned as he walked into the room to see one girl sitting next to Nick with shoulder blade length brown hair that was lightly highlighted, and another lying stretched out on the floor, but she had black hair. “Hold up, why are you guys on our bus?”
“Oh our bus broke down and Billy said that we had to ride on this bus for a while.” Lisa exclaimed as she watched Stephanie sit up rubbing her eyes. “Morning, Steph.”
“Morning.” Stephanie yawned as she opened her eyes to see a cute blond sitting next to Lisa and a tall rough looking guy standing in front of her. “Oh my God! Where are we?” Stephanie screeched as she jumped onto the couch looking around the room.
“Steph, chill remember last night our bus broke down.” Lisa reminded her.
“Oh yeah.” Stephanie blushed.
“Well guess what, if you ladies are gonna be living on our bus your gonna have to get use to us.” A.J said as he sat at the other end of the couch of the two ladies and Nick.
“Yeah well…hey, what happened to Theresa?” Stephanie asked just noticing that her friend was missing.
“Oh she and Nick got in another fight.” Lisa sighed crossing her legs.
“Ok. But that’s the problem with living on this bus with you guys is Theresa. That’s gonna be really, hard due to the fact that she hates you two. But I’m not sure if she really hates you, A.J.” Stephanie grinned as she looked at A.J then back at Lisa. Lisa knew what she was talking about and admittedly busted out laughing.
“What? What’s so funny?” A.J wondered raising an eyebrow at the two.
“We can’t tell ya, Theresa would be so mad.” Lisa giggled.
“Come on tell me. I won’t tell Theresa. Well how could I she doesn’t even talk to me.” A.J frowned. Nick just sat there smiling at Lisa. He couldn’t help it she was just so…just so breath taking.
-In the kitchenette-
Theresa sat in one of the kitchen booths staring out the window watching the tall buildings fly by as the bus moved a long on the freeway.
‘Why can’t this damn tour be fun, and why cant A.J not be rude and single.’ Theresa thought to herself then heard someone cough interrupting her thoughts.
“Excuse me, have I met you before?” Said a voice from behind Theresa. Turning around Theresa noticed that it was that same girl who had accused her of liking A.J.
“Um…not sure. I think we met Sunday night.” Theresa replied forcing a smile.
“Oh yeah, sorry about what I said that night I didn’t mean to accuse you of liking A.J. It’s just that I have this feeling that he’s cheating on me with another girl.” Amanda apologized sitting across from her in the booth.
“Apology accepted, but who would he cheat on, and why? I mean, you’re very pretty.” Theresa said politely, and she knew that she didn’t mean a word of it.
“Thank you.” Amanda blushed, then looked back at Theresa. “Well see Sunday night while A.J was asleep he was moaning this girls name, I think it was Theresa. And see that’s all he has talked about, but he tells me that he isn’t sleeping with her, I just don’t know.” Amanda said giving every single detail of her and A.J’s problem to a girl she didn’t even know, but she just wanted to get it off her shoulders.
“Well trust me he isn’t sleeping with her.” Theresa smiled knowing that the girl had no idea who she was.
“How would you know?” Amanda asked raising an eyebrow at the blond.
“Well, hi, my names Theresa.” Theresa smiled extending her hand to Amanda. Amanda’s mouth dropped she couldn’t believe it. The girl sitting across from her was the girl A.J was dreaming about that night. To Amanda it felt like war cause the young girl was gorgeous. She was short about 5’1 with waist length healthy blond hair that’s never been dyed, large bluish green eyes that were complete with long black eyelashes. Her skin complexion was tanned due to the fact that the tanning bed was her best friend, and her figure was perfect yet curvy.
“Oh my…I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean…”
“No hard feelings, that’s what girlfriends are suppose to do right.” Theresa giggled lightly. “Anyway, I never caught your name.”
“Oh sorry, its Amanda.” She smiled at Theresa. Amanda was also very pretty, she had shoulder length black hair that was layered to frame her face, she had light blue eyes to give her a unique look. She was tall about 5’6 and curvy also.
“Its cool. May I ask you a question?” Theresa wondered placing her elbows on the table.
“Sure, shoot.” Amanda grinned starting to really like her new friend.
“Why are you such a sweet heart, but your lover boy is so rude?” Theresa asked.
“He’s mean to you? That’s strange.” Amanda frowned. But a loud cough interrupted the two.
-Back in the entertainment room-
“No way! Theresa said that you wear high heels.” Lisa laughed as she wiped a tear from her eyes from laughing so much.
“Yeah.” Nick chuckled along with Lisa.
“Hey Nick, what’s so…who’s the new guest?” Brian asked as he walked into the room.
“Oh Brian, Lisa and Stephanie are going to be sharing the tour bus for a while.” Nick explained.
“So you chicks are from that group eNVY?” Brian questioned then noticed Stephanie cock an eyebrow.
“Brian, never call any of us chicks, especially Steph.” Lisa recommended.
“Oh sorry.”
“But yes, we are from eNVY but were not chicks.” Lisa giggled.
“Ok, but isn’t one missing?” Brian wondered, as he went to sit down next to Stephanie.
“Yeah, Theresa and Nick got in a fight and she left and is probably in the kitchen part.” Stephanie stated.
“Oh.” Brian nodded.
-At the same time-
“Oh hi A.J.” Amanda greeted as A.J sat down next to her. Theresa frowned at A.J for a minute then started to get up. “Wait, Theresa don’t leave.” Turning around Theresa looked at Amanda seriously and all she could do was nod.
“So you’ve met Theresa, huh?” A.J asked his girlfriend as he nuzzled her neck.
“Yeah, and she tells me that you’ve been mean…”
“Ok guys were here!” Their bus driver said as he butted into Amanda’s statement. A.J looked at Theresa then back at Amanda with a smile spread across his face.
“Finally I can get off this damn bus and away from you and Nick.” Theresa spat dryly as she stood up out of the booth, grabbed her things and headed into the hotel.
-Later that day-
“Theresa, I need to talk to you.” Stephanie said as she walked into Theresa’s hotel room. “Theresa! Theresa where are you?” Stephanie yelled as she looked around the empty room.
“Right here! What do you want?” Theresa asked as she walked out of the bathroom wearing a white hotel robe and a towel wrapped around her wet blond hair.
“I have to talk to you.” Stephanie repeated.
“About what?” Theresa wondered as she opened up her suitcase to pull out something for her to wear.
“About A.J…”
“What about him?” Theresa butted in snapping her head up quickly.
Stephanie just smiled at her friend’s response but went on, “What I was saying, you need to be nicer to A.J and Nick, cause we have to put up with them for a while.”
“Hey they have to be nice to me.” Theresa sighed as she pulled off the white towel and began to brush out her hair.
“Theresa, please?” Stephanie begged.
“Oh, FINE. But one smart remark from them…”
“THERESA!”
“Ok, sorry.” Theresa gave in putting her hands up in defense. “But could you please leave I want to change now.”
“Ok, see ya later.”
“Ok, bye.” Theresa waved as she watched her friend walk out of the room shutting the door behind her.
