"Hey, I'm Ricki Lake. Our show today deals with people falling in love with their best friends. Now, let's bring out our next guest. He's been on the show before, he's known around the world as the 'cutest Backstreet Boy', and his name is Nick Carter. Let's bring him out, Nick," she introduced, after coming back after a commercial brake. "Hey Ricki, how ya doin'?" Nick asked, as he took a seat.

"Fine, thanks for asking. So, Nick, why don't you tell us why you're hear?" Ricki asked, as the claps died down so everyone could hear.

"Well, about 3 years ago, I realized I was in love with my best friend, Meggie. I confronted her about it that day, and at first, she...well, I basically thought she hated me. She had a boyfriend, but then we kissed, and she didn't seem to care so much. Anyways, she went out with her boyfriend that night, and found out that him, and her family had planned for the 2 of them to move to Buffalo. She was going the next day, so I went to her house and, well, we made love for the first time," Nick said, blushing, and mentally kicking himself for telling everyone.

"Wait, wait, wait. She had sex with you, while she had a boyfriend she was moving across the country with?" Ricki asked, confused.

"Yeah, but we were in love. And it was a spur of the moment kinda thing," Nick said, defending himself and Meggie. "She left the next day, and we have hardly saw each other since. It's been about a year and a half since we last talked."

"Well, you can go take a seat on the stairs, and we'll bring Meggie out of isolation, and hear what she has to say," Ricki said.

Nick nodded, and walked up to sit on the stairs, out of view.

"Alright Meggie, come on out," Ricki said.

"Hey Ricki," Meggie greeted, as she took her seat on the stage.

"Hey Meggie. You know you're hear, because someone brought you hear to tell you he's in love with you. Do you have any idea who that may be?" Ricki asked.

"Umm...I dunno. It better not be Paul," Meggie said.

"And, who is Paul?" Ricki asked.

"Paul is my ex-boyfriendd," Meggie said.

"I see. So, are you single?" Ricki asked.

"Very single," she answered.

"Will you at least go on a date with this guy?" Ricki asked.

"Yes, of course. One date won't hurt," Meggie agreed.

"Alright then, do you wanna see who this guy is?" Ricki asked.

"Yes, please," Meggie said, excited.

"Alright then, c'mon down," Ricki screamed.

Nick slowly made his way down the stairs. Meggie looked over and saw that blond head of hair, she missed so much over the years. She buried her face in her hands, and let the tears flow freely, standing up when he was in front of her, and embracing him in a hug.

"Oh Nicky, I missed you so much," she said, crying onto his shoulder.

"I missed you too babe," he said, squeezing her tightly.

"I take it this is who you wanted to see?" Ricki asked, interupting their 'moment'.

"Uh huh. This is my baby, my Nicky," Meggie said, squeezing his hand.

"Meggie, I wanna know if you'll move back down to Florida. Please baby, everyone misses you, especially me," he begged.

"Yes, of course, sweetie," Meggie said, hugging him again.

"So Meggie, you are moving back to Florida?" Nick asked.

"Yes, I am. I would go anywhere for him," Meggie said, smiling at Nick.

"Alright, next...," Ricki said, as Meggie and Nick exited the stage.
