When they brought Ricky back everyone looked really worried but when the guys saw that he was fine they all made jokes about how worried the girls were. Sarah gave TJ an “I can’t believe you just said that” look, rolled her eyes and walked away. TJ looked back at the guys and ran after Sarah yelling her name. “Sarah! Sarah wait!” Sarah stopped and turned around standing with her arms folded to see TJ running towards her. TJ stopped to get his breath when he reached her and then said. “I’m sorry. I’m a guy. We always have to make it look like we’re the tough guys. I’m really sorry.” “That’s not it. Ricky could tell that we were all worried. Did you guys need to tell him that? But apology accepted. Now let’s go sing.” Then they both walked off towards the stage.
The flirting between Rich and Jen went on for the next two weeks until, Sarah & Clay were in Sarah’s dressing room talking about the previous concert in Chicago when Sarah says. “I can’t believe I was just in Chicago and now I’m in New York City! This is crazy! Only in my dreams have I ever done this. “I know what you mean, Sarah. When it really hit me we had just done a show in Sydney and were in London.” “You’ve got to be kidding me! I’ve always wanted to there!” That’s when it happened. Jen came running in laughing hysterically and Rich came in chasing her. Jen jumped over the couch and fell on the clothes rack. Rich caught her and started to tickle her. Jen started to laugh even harder, then Rich leaned over and kissed her. Both Jen and Rich looked shocked while Sarah and Clay walked out and started laughing. As they walked down the hall suddenly Sarah was grabbed from behind. So of course she screamed because it scared her. When she turned around she saw TJ standing there laughing. Sarah rolled her eyes & pushed him down. Then she took of running. TJ & Clay, both ran after her. When they reached the canopy Clay stopped and smiled when he spotted Teallie writing in her journal. TJ caught Sarah and started to tickle her and acted as if her was going to beat her up. Both were laughing really hard until they saw Clay starring at Teallie. TJ helped Sarah up and they both walked over to Clay. TJ stood behind Sarah and put his arms around Sarah & laid his chin on her shoulder. Sarah started to laugh again until Clay said. “She’s beautiful isn’t she?” TJ rolled his eyes and Sarah awed. When Teallie looked up, she saw them all starring at her, blushed and then went back to her writing. Sarah pushed TJ away from her and turned to face him.
“TJ. You have to do me a favor! “Anything. What is it?” “Well you know how our next stop is in Washington State? Well when we get there would it be all right to pick up my friend Angela Bracey? She’s like so in love with Stevie and you know how depressed he’s been lately. Who knows maybe all he needs is a girl to hang out with that likes him. Please!” “I guess we can. But only because I agree that Stevie needs to see that the girls do actually like him.” Then they both remembered that they had to get ready for the show. Jen came running out yelling for Teallie, Kylie & Sarah. All three followed Jen, who had ran off the front of the stage and to where the audience was going to be then Kylie was the first to ask. “What is it?” “Rich just kissed me! And... he asked me out!” then all the girls screamed until they saw everyone starring at them, and they all ran off backstage laughing.
