"So, where are we going, Rich?" Brandi asked. "I'm really hungry."
"I was thinking the Hard Rock Cafe," Rich answered.
"Ohhhh," Brandi whined. "We went there last week, Rich. Can't we go somewhere else? Please?"
"Sorry, but I already made the reservation."
"Fine, but next time I get to choose," Brandi said.
Rich didn't say anything, just looked straight ahead and kept quiet.
"Rich? Rich, what's wrong?"
He pulled into a parking lot and turned off the ignition. He didn't say anything for a minute, then let out a huge sigh before he spoke.
"Brandi," he said quietly," there might not be a next time."
"What? What do you mean?"
"Our manager is making us move to L.A," Rich said. "It's really shitty and it's not fair, but we have to."
Brandi was silent. She quickly realized something. She was losing Rich before she even had him. Brandi had said that the reason why she didn't want to go out with Rich was because she wasn't ready, but the truth was, she was playing hard to get.
Rich continued," if we were in a relationship, it wouldn't be a problem because we could still see each other, and if we were just friends that would be okay too, but it's going to be hard to get to know each other."
Brandi was just dumbfounded.
"Say something. Please," Rich said.
"What do you want me to say?"
"I don't know, Brandi. Say you don't want me to go, or that you'll miss me, or that....that you love me."
"Rich....let's go get something to eat."
Chloe and Dave arrived at the Hard Rock Cafe. They didn't say much the whole way there, just laughed about their embarassing moment.
They were seated inside the restaurant and before they even looked at the menus, Dave pulled out his cigarettes.
"Dammit!" Chloe said. "Mine are at home." She looked at Dave and said sweetly," Dave?"
He rolled his eyes and tossed his pack at her.
"Look!" Chloe exclaimed. "There's Brandi and Rich." She waved at them to sit with them.
"Ohh, I don't want them to sit with us," Dave whined.
"You don't like them?" Chloe asked.
"No. They're annoying. He's such a fag."
"And you are such a guy," Chloe laughed.
Brandi and Rich sat down with them. They decided not to say anything about Rich leaving.
After their drinks had been served, Brandi elbowed Chloe in the ribs.
"Ow! Brandi? What was that for?"
"Is that Brian and Leighanne over there?"
"Ohmigod! It is!" Chloe exclaimed. "Should we go say hi?"
"No....yes. Yes we should," Brandi said.
They got up and started walking over towards the table. Brandi stopped.
"Do I look alright?" she asked Chloe.
"You look great. What about me?"
"Hot."
"Excuse me?" Chloe said when they got over to the table.
Brian and Leighanne looked up and smiled.
"Hi there," Brian said (in his cute southern accent!)
"Hi," Brandi said. "We're, um.... we're....oh god."
"I know you!" Leighanne said. "You're from Mirage!"
"Right," Chloe said. "I'm Chloe and this is Brandi."
"Hi," Brian said again. Him and Leighanne stood up and they all shook hands.
"I'm a big fan," Leighanne said.
"Seriously?" Brandi was suprised.
"Yeah. I listen to your CD all the time."
"Believ em," Brian said," she does. I think you guys are great."
"Ohmigod! Thanks," Chloe said. "Thank you so much! Coming from you, that is a huge compliment."
"Would you like to join us?" Leighanne asked.
"Actually," Brandi said, "we're here with two guys. Would you like to come sit with us?"
They agreed and all 6 of the ordered dinner.
"This place is awesome tonight," Moesha said.
'It's Not Right But It's Okay' was playing and Moehsa, Dawn and Deehone got out on the dance floor right away. They danced to a few more songs and after 'Crazy' by Britney Spears they decided to go over to the bar.
"Don't drink too much," Moesha said to Deehone.
"I won't, but Dawn's the D.D. tonight."
Dawn sighed. "Fine."
They sat down at a table near the dance floor. They sat for a minute, sipping their drinks. All of a sudden, Moesha spit her drink on the floor.
"Holy shit! Is that....? Fuck it is!"
"What Moe?" Dee and Dawn asked.
"Look across the dance floor. What do you see?"
"Nick Carter!" Dawn and Dee screamed.
"Let's go over there," Deehone said.
"Oh, there's AJ," Moehsa said. "Do I look okay?"
"Yeah," Dawn said. "They're all over there. There's Kevin,....Howie,....AJ and Nick....Where's Brian?"
"Maybe he's taking a dump," Moehsa said.
"Ewww! Moe! That's gross!" Dawn exclaimed.
"What? Everyone does it."
"Yeah, but - "
"Stop arguing!" Dee yelled. "We gotta get over there before some other girls do."
They walked across the dance floor with their drinks in their hands. Dee's was gone before they reached the guys.
"You alcoholic," Moehsa said.
"Shut up! I'm nervous okay?"
They got to the guys and just stood, staring. They guys didn't notice them at first.
"Hey," Moehs said, loudly.
The four guys looked at the three girls. They looked confused at first, until they realized who they were.
"Hey," Kevin said. "Sit down. Want something to drink?"
"Sure, that's be great," Deehone said. Her and Kevin went up to the bar.
"So," AJ said,"you're the ones we're going to be touring with...."
