The European tour had just ended and the guys had just gotten off the plane at in Orlando to begin there few months break from touring.

"Home at last," Sarah said, smiling as she looked around at the familiar surroundings of her home state.

"I'm glad to be back," Nick said, taking her hand. They walked through the parking lot until they found Nick's car.

Brian and Leighanne were also in the parking lot, about to drive home together. "See ya next month Frack!" Brian yelled with a wave. he was being friendly to Nick still, despite Nick ignoring him. Since the incident with Sarah at the hotel a few weeks ago, Nick had refused to socialize with Brian. Sarah was still playing the part of the sweet innocent girlfriend when Nick was around but it was clear to Brian and Leighanne that she hadn't changed. She was still carrying on being her nasty self.

Nick turned his back on them. "Come on Sarah, let's get home. The pugs will be so pleased to see us again!".

Sarah slid into the passenger seat and took off her shades. "Let's take a swim in the pool when we return, it's so hot!".

About an hour later, Nick and Sarah arrived back at the home they shared. Nick parked the car in the garage and admired his Prowler and truck. He was lucky to have three cars.

"I'd love a car," Sarah hinted. "But I can't afford one,".

"Once you get your album out, you'll have enough money for three!" Nick assured her, not taking the hint.

"But that won't be for ages!" she protested, stamping her foot.

Nick unlocked the door. "You can borrow one of my cars until then," Nick said generously. "Hey baby, can you go and get the mail?".

Sarah stomped off to the mailbox and opened it. She took the huge bundle of letters inside.

"Mostly fan mail," Nick chuckled, sorting through the pile. "Hey, here's an official looking letter for you,".

Sarah's eyes lit up. Smiling, she opened the letter and read it.

"What's it say?" Nick asked.

"It's Jive, they want me back for more recording. They want to start on the album!" she squealed, hugging Nick. At last! I'm nearly there...

"That's great!" Nick congratulated.

Sarah sat in the backyard with a drink. Nick followed her outside, his pugs at his feet. They were delighted to have their owner home.

"Brent's done a great job looking after my babies," Nick stated, stroking Mikey.

"Yeah," Sarah said sleepily, not really listening. "Nick, about me getting a car...".

"What about you getting a car," Nick said, puzzled. He still didn't get the hint.

Sarah sighed. "Can you buy me one please?" she begged, fluttering her eyelashes.

Nick's eyes widening. "Um, Sarah... I buy you a lot as it is. A car would cost a lot. Maybe a small car... what type did you want?".

She frowned. "A Prowler like yours,".

Nick shook his head. "That is way too expensive! Sorry babe,".

I'm getting one somehow, she thought determinedly.

Later that day, Nick went into the living room and set up his Playstation. Sarah rolled her eyes, it was so boring when he played video games.

While Nick loaded up Final Fantasy, Sarah sat on the couch, biting her fingernails. She was so bored.

"Wanna play?" Nick asked her.

"No way," she said, walking out into the kitchen. She picked up the letter on the table and smiled. She was about to record her album. Finally, her dream was coming true...

Very early then next morning, Brian was driving into Tampa to go to the studios there. he had arranged to do some recording there and had an early start.

He passed Nick's street and sighed. He missed his friend. he was quite upset over their fallout. All he wanted was the best for Nick, Sarah was no good for him.

A black car drove along the quiet street. Brian recognised the car. It was Nick's Prowler. "What's he doing out so early?!" Brian said out loud. He followed the car down the street and saw it pull into a garage.

Brian was puzzled. What was going on?

He pulled over and parked behind the hedge that shielded the garage. He wound down the window and listened.

"Hi babe, woah that's a nice car," a man's voice said.

"I know! And it's mine now. Make sure you keep the garage door shut all the time," a girl's voice replied.

Brian's mouth dropped open. It was Sarah!

"I wasn't too early was I? It was the only time I could drive it here without Nick realising,".

Brian was angry at this. Sarah had actually gone and stolen Nick's car! He'd have to go and tell Nick.

"Once I get the plates changed and it re-painted, Nick won't realise it's his. Think your friend could do that for me?".

"Sure honey. Anything for you,".

Sarah giggled. "Thanks! OK, I better get back to bed before Nick realises I've gone. I'll be in touch,".

"OK Sare. See ya,".

Brian heard Sarah's footsteps so he quickly wound the window back up and ducked down so she couldn't see him. In the mirror, he could see her jogging down the street back towards Nick's house. He shook his head in disgust. How could she do such a thing?!

His cell phone rang. "Hello?".

"Rok, where are you!?".

"Oh no! Sorry man, I'm late. I'm on my way now, see ya in a moment,". Sarah had made him late to the recording studios!

"I'll go see Nick later about this," he said out loud as he drove off to the studios.

Nick paced up and down the kitchen in despair. "I don't get it!" he yelled. "I've got the best security there is. How could someone manage to drive it away?!".

Sarah yawned and poured herself a glass of orange juice. "These things happen, Nick. The cops said they'd go and look for it so calm down,". They won't find it, she thought with a smile. "You know I said I wanted a Prowler?".

Nick turned to her. "Yes?".

"Well my Jive said that if I work hard on the album, they will buy me a pink one!". She grinned, knowing that she already had a car, and it wasn't from Jive.

"That's great darling, but that leaves me without a Prowler!".

"Nick, quit going on about it," Sarah snapped, wanting to get off the subject.

He was quiet. "Sorry," he said.

There was then a knock at the door.

"Maybe it's the cops, saying they found my car!" Nick said hopefully, racing to the door. He was disappointed to see... Brian.

"What are you doing here?" Nick spat. "I have enough problems with my...".

"Car going missing?" Brian suggested, hands on hips.

Sarah gasped. Does he know? she thought, panicking. Brian ruins everything!

Nick narrowed his eyes. "You know? Hey, was it you that stole it? I know you've got a thing against us...".

"Sarah can tell you where it is," Brian said, looking her in the eye.

"How would I know?" she said innocently.

"Trying to blame Sarah again?" Nick said. "Brian, you're pathetic. What's she ever done to you? I don't wanna hear this,". He walked upstairs and shut the door. He didn't know how to deal with Brian. He couldn't believe what his friend was doing.
