Sidney watched the limousine grow smaller and she went back in the hotel to spend her afternoon alone. When we arrived at the hotel, the day before, she saw a pool so she decided to go swimming. She went to our room, put her yellow biniki (the panties are like shorts and the top is like a bra), wraped a towel around her and went to the pool. She was swimming for few minutes when she remembered what Carol said.

- In good hands? she repeated for herself.
She got out the pool, walked to the middle diving board (there was actually three diving boards: 1 foot, 6 feet and 12 feet) and climbed on it. She took a deep breath and jumped up in the air to tumble before dive in the water. She swimmed under water to the ladder and she climbed it.

- Hello Sidney! she heard behind her.
She turned around and saw Brian and AJ walking to her.
- That was wonderful that diving! exclaimed AJ.
- How did you do that!? asked Brian, impressed.
- I've been in the diving high school team for four years. she explained.
- Would you be able to dive from the highest diving board? asked AJ.
Sidney looked at him, slyly.
- You bet? she said.
AJ exchanged a look with Brian.
- I bet! he answered.
- What do you want me to do?
- A backward tumble? AJ suggested.
She nodded and they shook their hands to make the deal. Sidney put her hair in a pony tail and went on the highest board. She walked at the edge and placed her on her tip-toes, facing the pool. She jumped twice and, while she was in the air, she tumbled backward and then, she entered in the water making no splash. She exited the pool, giving a proud smile to Brian and AJ who were applauding.

- Okay, I lost. AJ said. What do you want?
- Fisrt, I wanna get dressed! she answered.
- Yeah, I can do that! smiled AJ.
- Sure he can! muttered Brian.
- I guess but, that's not what I meant! replied Sidney.
- Oh...
- Would you wait till I'm ready? she asked.
- Sure! answered Brian. We'll wait in the lounge.
- Thanks!
She went in our room, put my darkpink tank top with her Cargo pants and met AJ and Brian in the lounge.
- What can we do to please you, dear lady? asked AJ.
- I'd love to walk on a beach! she answered.
- Easy! exclaimed Brian.
She smiled and followed them to AJ's car. He drove them to a private beach where they were safe to chill out without fearing a "fan attack"!

During this time, I was walking with Nick (Carol, Donna, Mitch and the Tampa's SEARS director not far behind) and talking while I was looking for clothes. I chose a lot of pants, long and short sleeved-shirts and tshirts. Nick held them all for me and he brought them at the fitting room.

- Show me when you put new clothes. he told me.
- Sure!
Excited, I entered the fitting room, taking off my clothes to put the new ones. When I was done, I exited to see what I looked like in the mirror. I did that so many times that I stopped the count! But, before I gave my appreciation, I was asking Nick's opinion. Sometimes I liked the clothes, him no and sometimes I didn't like, him yes but, we liked almost always the same things! The last time I exited the fitting room to show a knee-length purple dress.

- That's nice. he said, not too convinced.
- You sure? I asked, worry 'cause I really loved that dress.
Of course, he wasn't forced to like all what I liked but I thought a guy could like that dress...
- I think that could be better. he replied, giving me a black cloth. Try it!
I took the cloth, wondering what it could be and I entered the fitting room. I took off the dress and looked what he gave me. That was a black skirt, ankle-length, and an assorted black top short-sleeved that cut an inch up to my belly-button. I wasn't sure if I really wanted to exit the room dressed like that, especially in front of Nick!

- So? said Nick.
I sighed and exited the room.
- You like it? he asked.
I turned around and looked at me in the mirror. It was very nice!
- Yeah! I answered. But I don't think I will buy it.
- Why!? exclaimed Nick.
- I just need clothes to go to school, Nick! I can't wear that at school!
He got up and positionned himself in front of me, pretending to fix up my dress.
- You can wear it tonight. he whispered.
- Tonight? I repeated in disbelief.
- Wanna go out with me, AJ and Brian tonight? he asked.
- And Sidney?
- Brian and AJ are carring her right now! I'm sure she'll go out too.
- Oh! The "good hands"! I exclaimed for myself.
- So, you want?
- And your girlfriend?
He looked at me, surprised.
- I'm a fan, remember! I explained.
- I knew. he said.
- So?
- She's in Sweden. But I'm sure she wouldn't mind as if she was here. he answered.
- In that case... I would be happy to go out with you and the guys! I agreed.
Nick smiled and went back to his chair while I put my own clothes. When I exited the room, Nick brought me to the place he found my dress and I took another kind of dress for Sidney.

- What's next? Nick asked.
- Shoes! I answered enthusiatically.
I bought Nike's, Fila's and other shoes that fit with my and Sid's dresses. After, I wanted new make-up and cream. We walked through the perfume place so I stopped in front of the CK women, Lancôme and Estée Lauder counters. I bought the Lancôme's Ô oui! perfume, the CKone perfume and the Estée Lauder's Pleasures perfume. I also bought the Chanel's Allure perfume for Sidney. After, we continued our way to the make-up counter but we walked near the men' perfumes.

- Do you still wear Gravity? I asked to Nick.
- Sometimes. Now I'm wearing CKcontradiction. he answered.
I smiled and stopped walking in front of CK men counter.
- I have enough money to buy a bottle when I need one. he said kindly.
- I know but I wanna give you something! I replied.
He smiled and agreed so I took a big bottle for him... and a small sample for me when he didnt' watch! I hid the bottles under my clothes that we put on a caddie and we continue the shopping. It was 6 pm when we finally went back in the limousine! We shopped during 4 hours a half! I graciously thank Mr Morrison, the director and, after few pictures, we left.

- I really liked to shop with you! said Nick when we were in the limousine.
- So, it was "cool"?! I asked, playfully.
- Brian would be proud of you! he laughed. And, yes, it was cool.
- All the pleasure was for me! I replied.
- Personnally, I don't call "pleasure" the fact that you have to dress and undress thousand times! he exclaimed. Well... to try on clothes!
- The pleasure that I talked about is to buy things for 2000$!!! I specified.
Nick nodded, understanding.
- With you. I added with a low voice.
- Thanks. he said with one of his irresistibles smiles.
I couldn't help but blushed. We talked all the way long back to the hotel. There Bill opened the door for us and we both exited the limousine. Nick, Bill and I took my bags and we brought them in my room, followed by Carol, Donna and Mitch. They all came in my room for a last goodbye to Nick and they left us alone. Sidney wasn't arrived yet.

- I should go now, Bill's waiting for me. Nick said after helping me to gather together my bags on the bed.
- That was a nice afternoon. I told.
- Yeah. he approved. Well, I'll call ya around 7. You didn't forget that we...
- How could I forgot!? I cut, smiling.
- So, see ya later.
He hugged me and kissed my cheeks.
- Later! I said, watching him close the door.
I collapsed on my bed and sighed.
"He's wonderful." I thought.
I shook my head and got up to empty the bags. Sidney entered in the room few minutes later.

- Amy!!! You're here!!! she screamed happily. And, how was it?
- Wonderful! I answered. Nick is so friendly, nice and funny!
- You forgot cute! remarked Sidney, nagging me.
- I didn't 'cause he's not cute! I replied.
She looked at me as if I was going insane.
- He's beautiful! I specified.
- Hey! You made me fear for a second! she exclaimed.
I laughed.
- Will I have to beg or you show me your stuff? she said.
- Beg! I answered.
She threw her tongue at me and laughed. I showed her all my new clothes, shoes, perfumes, make-up and other stuff.
- And, this is for you. I said, giving her a big bag.
I had gathered together all the stuff I bought for her before she arrived. So, she opened the bag and put all the things on her bed: a dress, pants, 2 tshirts, a sweater, shoes, Chanel perfume, make-up and a gold ankle chain.

- Chanel!?! she screamed. It's so expensive!
- Sid! I had 2000$ to spend. I said to calm her down. And, I bought a bottle of CK contradiction for Nick!
- Contradiction!?
- Yeah, he changed his perfume. I explained. And... you know what?
- No, but I could feel you're gonna tell me what! she nagged.
I plunged my hand in a bag and took something that I showed her.
- CK contradiction. she read on the bottle. You will wear that?!
- No, I took a sample... just to "smell" Nick! I confessed, blushing. I will wash my bed sheets with.
Sidney couldn't help but laughed.
- Hey! Don't you remember that you did the same thing, last year, with Brian's perfume!? I shot.
- Er... You're right... Sorry! she said, stop laughing.
- So, what did you do with Brian and AJ?
- How did you kow that?!
- Nick told me!
She told me all about her afternoon while we were tidying up our stuff and Carol came to tell us that we had to go dinner. After, I went in Donna's room and we did the interview as if she wasn't with me during the shopping. Sidney went with me and she watched us. We went back to our room it was 7h40 pm.

- Dammit! I hissed. Nick told me he would call around 7!
- If he did, he will call back. assured Sidney.
And he did!
- I'm sorry, we were in Donna's room for the interview and it took a little longer than I first thought. I explained.
- That's what I thought. he answered. I'm used to interviews!
- I guess!
- Well, could you be ready for 9 o'clock? he asked.
- Sure!
- Perfect! I'll pick you up at the hotel with Brian and AJ.
- Alright! See ya later!
I hung up and repeated to Sidney Nick's part of the conversation! We each took a shower and got dressed. Of course, I wore the dress that Nick chose for me, and Sidney wore the one I bought for her. She put hair foam in her curly hair to make them curl more and I brushed my straight hair and took a lock of hair each side of my head, twisted and reunited them in the back of my head with a small barrette. We applied a bit of make-up, I splashed few drops of my new Estée Lauder's Pleasures perfume on my neck and belly, Sidney wore her Chanel's Allure and we were ready to go! We went in the lounge to wait the boys, sitting in one of the beautiful couches.

- You're very pretty, girls! exclaimed Brian when they arrived.
- Right, Brian! approved AJ. Don't you think, Nick?
- Of course! he agreed, smiling.
He was so beautiful! He had exchanged his black Cargo pants for beige ones and he was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt. He put a bit of gel in his hair so they made little locks beside his eyes wich I loved! We all left in Nick's Durango for a place that Sidney and I didn't know. We soon discovered that Nick was driving us to Orlando in the Boys' house. There were a lot of people... to celebrate the end of the tour!

- They invited us to their "tour's end party"! I whispered to Sidney.
- Am I dreaming? When will I wake up and realize that it was a product of my imagination? she whispered.
I pinched her arm and she let out a little cry.
- Hey!
- What? I wanted to prove you that it's not a dream! I defended.
AJ, sitting in the back with us, laughed a bit. We got out the truck and Nick came beside me, offering his arm, and we followed Sidney walking between AJ and Brian. We entered in the house, welcomed by Kevin who hugged Sidney and I. After, she left with AJ and Brian somewhere in the house and Nick took my hand and he introduced me to some persons. I found Sidney, an hour later, talking with a cute, tall, brown haired boy. It was Timmy, a dancer.

- Hey, Amy! Where's Nick? Sidney said after few minutes.
- Somewhere... I answered, wondering why she asked that.
Suddenly, I realized what she meant.
- I think I just saw him! I said, leaving them alone.
I walked alone in the house, observing everything I could see to keep it in my memory forever. I remarked that several persons left the house and took a look at my watch. It was 11 pm.
- You're here! exclaimed Nick, arriving near me.
- Yeah! It seems that Sid wanted to be alone with one of your dancers! I answered.
- Why didn't you come to me?
- Because you're not my guardian! And, I don't want to bother you.
- You're my guest, Amy! he said, smiling. I wasn't forced to invite you here. I talked with the guys, yesterday, and I suggested to invite you and Sidney. As you can see, they agreed. he explained. So, please stop the "I don't wanna bother you"!
- Okay, excuse me. I sighed. I just don't know how to act.
- Act like Amy Mitchell. And smile!
I smiled.
- That's better! Well, you wanna dance? he asked.
- Sure!
He took my hand and led me in the lounge where, among other people, I saw Sidney dancing with Brian and LeighAnn with AJ. She shot me an happy look and, happy too, I faced Nick and put my arms around his shoulders. We danced during two songs and AJ asked me for a dance while LeighAnn went back to Brian and Timmy asked to Sidney. After dancing, I went outside with Nick and we talked, walking in the big yard.
- Amy! called Sidney, meeting us near the pool.
- Yep?
- May I talk to ya? she asked.
- I understood! laughed Nick. I'll be inside.
- Kay! Later! I said.
We watched him leave and Sidney said:
- Timmy asked to drive me at the hotel!
- You sure you should? I asked, worry. I mean, you just met him.
- Amy! I won't sleep with him! she exclaimed.
- I know...
She smiled and continued.
- And you know what?! He lives in Elizabeth! It's not far from Newark!!!
- That's nice! I said.
I was happy for her but sad at the same time 'cause I could never have the boy I really want at the moment.
- Maybe he has a cute friend. Sidney said, as if she read my thoughts.
- Maybe. I smiled. Well, I guess I'll see ya later.
- Sure! See ya! she said, hugging me.
She ran in the house and I soon followed but walking! I found Nick and tell him about Sidney.
- Don't worry about her, Timmy is a good boy! he assured.
- Yes he is! added LeighAnn, standing near us.
I looked at her and smile.
- So, I'll believe you! I said.
Around 1 am, I kissed the Boys, thank them and I left with Nick.

- Thank you so much for all you've done for me! I said when we arrived at my hotel room.
- I've done nothing special. he replied.
- Just being there is enough!
- Well, thatnk you too! I really enjoyed the day!
I smiled, happy.
- What time is your flight, tomorrow? he asked.
- Around 3 pm. I answered. We have to leave for 1h30.
- Okay. So, good night.
- Good night!
I looked at him, hesitating to hold him in my arms. He smiled, guessing my thoughts, and wrapped his arms around my shoulders, pulling me against his chest. I took a deep breath, smelling his perfume and I raised myself on tiptoes to kiss his cheek.

- Thanks. I said, leaving the warmth of his embrace. I'm very proud to had the chance to meet you.
- I'm happy to have met you too!
He kissed my forehead and told me a last goodbye before he left. I entered in my room, feeling happy but a bit sad. I took off my dress and put my nightdress. I went to bed and watched the TV, waiting Sidney. She arrived few minutes later and we talked till 3am!
