A lot of things happened in the past 2 years. Angela went from nobody's girl to everybody's favorite. Her star had been rising ever since Britney hired her as a dancer. Britney helped her to the top, something she'd always be grateful for.

On May 17th 2001 Britney wrapped up her 2nd world tour. The last show was in Toronto, Canada.

'Thank you Toronto. You've been a great audience. And I hope you've enjoyed the show. I want to thank each and every one of you for coming here tonight.' Britney said. 'And this last song, goes out to all of you out there.'

Oops I did it again blurred through the speakers and Britney sang as if her life depended on it.

'...I think I did it again. I made you believe, we're more than just friends. Oh baby, baby, it might seem like a crush. But it doesn't mean...' she sang.

It was 23.00 PM when the lights went out and the crew strolled back into their dressing rooms. The show was finally over.

'Guys. I want to thank you all for 3 wonderful months. You've been amazing. And ya'll know that I couldn't have done it without you. You're the best.' Britney said in her ­thank you and goodbye- speech. 'We're all very tired right now, so I'll keep it short and sweet. We'll be touring again next year. There are some short stops along the way, like the MTV Awards 2001... Which are, by the way, held on Hawaii. I, for one, am very looking forward to that. And other award shows and TV shows.'

'But for now, enjoy your spare time. And we'll be seeing each other in a few weeks. God bless ya'll.' Mark added.

'GROUPHUG!' TJ cried.

A lot of things changed by the time everyone was at their own homes, getting back into their normal every day lives. Amongst others there where the relationships and love-affairs. Both Britney's and Angela's affairs where over. Britney was now romantically involved with Justin Timberlake, one of the 'N Sync boys. They met a few weeks ago on a festival where both where performing. Britney got to know Justin and fell in love on the spot. They'd been together for over a month.

Alex and Angela's break-up was a totally different story. Angela one day decided to say yes to Alex's question... She wanted to be his girlfriend. She hadn't seen or heard from Nick in months. And she was getting very lonely and depressed. She found the comfort she needed in Alex. But it didn't quite work out. During their relationship, Alex kept flirting with every other girl that came along. So Angela eventually broke off their love-affair.

The 17th of November 2001. The day before the MTV Awards. Britney and her gang had met up at the hotel they where staying in.

'Hey guys. Nice to see y'all again. How've ya been?' Britney asked as her dancers walked into the conference room.

'We've been great. I really needed that break.' Jody said. 'I'm feeling better than ever.'

'That's so great. I've missed you guys a lot.' Britney admitted.

'We missed you too Brit.' TJ said.

'Hi J. How r ya?' she asked.

'I'm cool. You?' he asked. 'Ever think of me? Us?'

'TJ, let's not get into that okay... I'm very happy with Justin.' She explained. 'We where great together, but it's over... It's been over for a while now... Get over it, please.'

'I'm over it. Just wondering if you thought of me lately.' TJ admitted and added. 'I've got myself a girl.'

'You do? Where is she?' Alex asked.

'She'll be joining me later. Her name is Leila and we met in a restaurant just a few weeks ago.' TJ explained. 'She's great. I love her very much.'

'I'm glad you found someone.' Britney sighed.

Angela arrived later in the afternoon. She missed her flight so she wasn't there when the show-routine was discussed.

'We need to talk about this again later. When Angie's here.' Mark said and explained what Angela had told him over the phone.

'So, she missed her flight.' Terry smirked. 'That's so not Angela...'

'Hey you guys.' Angela cried as she walked into the conference hall. 'Did you miss me?'

'Angela!' Britney exclaimed. The two girls had became very close friends over the last couple of months. Sharing love-stories and broken hearts.

'Brit!' Angela cried. 'Miss me?'

'Yeah, very much.' Britney replied. 'Miss me?'

'Ehm... neh...' Angela replied. 'Of course I missed you! I've missed all of you.'

'We missed you too Angie.' Alex said and hugged her. 'Great to have you back.'

'I know. It's great to be back.' She said. 'So, we performing tomorrow night?'

'Oh yeah. You're just in time for rehearsal.' Mark said and leaded them into the gym.

'Nothing ever changes around here, does it?' Angela figured.

'What do you mean?' Britney wondered.

'Well, I've been here for like 3 minutes. And already we're working...' she sighed.

'Life as a star isn't always easy.' Britney smirked.

'Don't I know it...' Angela growled and closed the gym-door behind her.
