Look at all those people! The stadium must have been packed! Kyle said to himself as he walked into the lounge where MTV was having it's after party. His eyes scanned the crowd, knowing exactly the body he was looking for. Kyle smiled when he saw her showing off on the dance floor. That's my girl. Always on the move. He thought and slowly approached her.

'Congratulations on your award.' Angela's dance partner, Matt Damon, said as he kissed her cheek.

'Thank you. I was so NOT expecting that.' Angela replied.

'Well. You deserved it.' Matt said. 'The performance you and Britney gave was amazing.' While they where dancing someone accidentally bumped into Angela.

'Hey! Watch's it!' she cried and turned around to face her "bumper".

'Angela!' Kyle smiled.

'Kyle!' Angela replied and hugged him. 'I've missed you! Where have ya been?'

'Around. And you, how are ya? Still dancing with Miss Spears I hear.'

'Yes. I won my very first award tonight!' Angela shrieked.

'An award! Which one?' Kyle asked.

'Best dancer!!'

'Oh that's great! You deserve it!' Kyle said.

'You wanna know who presented the award?'

'Let me guess...' Kyle smirked. 'Britney?'

'No! It was Brandy...'

'She's cool too...' Kyle said.

'...along with the BACKSTREET BOYS!!' Angela added.

'So. You saw Nick tonight...'

'Twice! I presented the award the boys won. Best single. It was so cool! We hugged and he kissed me on the cheek. Twice!' Angela shrieked. 'I was in heaven!'

'I can imagine.' Kyle snickered. 'Who's the partner?'

'Oh this... This is Matt Damon. Matt, this is my dance coach Kyle Robinson.'

'Hi. You know Angela. I just remembered, I have a photo shoot in the morning. I've gotta go.' Matt said.

'Oh...'

'I'm really sorry.' Matt said, said goodbye and kissed her cheek.

'Bye. It was nice meeting you.'

'The pleasure was all mine.' Angela smiled. 'Bye Matt.'

'See ya around Matt.' Kyle said and shook his hand.

'Yeah. See ya.' Matt said and walked away.

'What's up with him?' Nick wondered when Matt Damon passed him without saying hi. Him and Matt had been friends ever since they met at the MTV Awards 1997 in Los Angeles.

'I dunno man.' AJ said. 'Maybe you slept with his girlfriend?'

'I don't even KNOW his girlfriend!' Nick replied.

'Speaking of girlfriends...' Kevin smirked. 'AJ -my friend- what time is it?'

'About time for some action!' AJ admitted.

'Huh? What? Action? Where?' Nick curiously informed.

'You'll find out soon enough Carter...' Howie smirked. 'Just don't go nowhere...'

'Hey! Isn't that...' Kevin mumbled.

'Yeah that's...' Howie said.

'KYLE!!' AJ exclaimed. Kyle turned around and faced smiled at the boys.

'Hey guys. How are ya tonight?'

'Great man. We won 3 awards!' AJ said.

'Yeah. Best single for Show me the meaning. Best album for Millennium, of course!' Nick smirked. 'And the award for best Live performance.'

'Awesome! Congratulations.' Kyle said and hugged his friends.

'I totally agree. To bad we didn't get to busta move or two on stage...' AJ whined and took a sip of his beer.

'Huh? Why not? I thought you guys where scheduled to perform?'

'Yeah but...' Howie tried to explain but Kevin cut his of.

'Let's not get into that okay.' He said. 'We're here to have fun.'

'I second that!' Nick snickered and order another drink.

'You guys are really into it, aren't ya?' Kyle figured when he noticed that both AJ, Howie and Kevin where extremely drunk. The only one managing to stay on his feet was Nick. He had a few but not as much as his friends.

'Oh yeah! I'm ehm...' AJ said.

'Getting drunk?' Howie asked.

'Neh! Celebrating!' AJ nodded. 'I'm celebrating.'

'And getting drunk.' Howie smirked.

'You two are so funny!' Nick smiled.

'So guys. Where are your dates?' Kyle asked.

'Me and Kris had a fight. She's at the hotel.' Kevin replied.

'You okay man?' Kyle asked.

'I'm cool... Beer still loves me!' he replied and drank his beer.

'I didn't bring no date.' Howie said.

'Me neither. They cost way too much money.' AJ admitted.

'Yeah. And that would mean breaking ground rule number one.' Howie smirked.

'And we don't wanna do that, right?!'

'Which is?' Kyle asked. Howie laughed.

'Never ever spend your own money on a date!' AJ explained.

'Yeah. Right!' Nick said and shook his head.

'Where's B-Rok and Leigh?'

'Their on the floor dancing...' Nick replied.

'Or in their room making out!' AJ added.

'AJ!' Nick exclaimed.

'WHAT?!'

'J's got a point there Nick.' Kevin said. 'Rok does make out a lot...'

'Their supposed to make out a lot! Their in love Kevin!' Howie explained.

'That's what lovers do!'

'Oh' AJ smirked. 'Then how come... how come Carter isn't making out with Angela?'

'Yeah. How come Carter?' Kevin asked.

'Guys! Quit this bull!' Nick commanded.

'Nicky needs to go make out with Angela.' Howie figured.

'Come on guys.' Kyle said. 'Give him a break.'

'A break from what? He ain't doin' nothin'!' Kevin smirked.

'We could give him a break from kissing' Howie said.

'But he ain't kissin', so that's not gonna work' AJ figured.

'I got an idea.' Kevin snickered. 'We go find Angela. We get them kissing...'

'Then what?' Howie asked.

'Here comes the good part!' Kevin exclaimed. 'Then we give him a break... from KISSING!' AJ cracked up, threw his hands in the air and laughed until tears where running down his cheeks.

'J. You okay?' Howie asked and wrapped an arm around his friend.

'Yeah man. No need to get all emotional 'bout nothin'. That ain't good man!' Kevin added.

'I'm not emotional! I'm drunk!' AJ laughed.

'No shit Sherlock!' Nick smirked. 'Who gave you THAT idea?'

'Wait. Hold on. I'll tell you whatever you want' AJ said. 'If you stop the room from spinning, k?' And with that he fell to the floor.

'Yo J! What's ya doin' way down there?' Howie asked.

'He's drunk D! And so are you!' Kevin said and gave Howie a little push, making him fall over on top of AJ.

'Get your butt of me!' AJ cried.

'You're the one who got us into this mess in the first place! So shut up!' Howie exclaimed.

'No, that wasn't me!' AJ said. 'I was only trying to be nice to Kev and Carter. Feeling their feelings.'

'Your point?' Howie asked.

'Yeh cool down. I'm getting there... so if they get drunk... so does AJ!' AJ explained.

'Yeah. You've never been much of a spoil sport anyway.' Nick smiled.

'Always playin', or in this matter drinkin', along with the hurt ones.' Kyle added with a smile.

'I'm not hurt.' Kevin said as serious as possible. Which was pretty hilarious, considering he was so drunk he couldn't even remember his last name...

'Of course you're not. We're not talkin' 'bout you. We're talkin' 'bout different Kevin Richardson.' Kyle lied.

'Oh... okay.' Kevin said and focused back on his beer. Nick smiled.

'He's so out of it.' He smirked and added. 'I bet: if you ask him to sing our new single, that he would hit rock bottom. And I do mean face first.'

'You're on, big man!' Kyle snickered and turned to Kevin. 'Oh Kevvy...'

'Yeh. What's up?' Kevin asked.

'Can you do us a favor: sing the new single for us, will ya.'

'Neh. I'm not really into singing right now.' Kevin replied.

'I dare ya!' Nick added. Kevin turned around and smiled viciously.

'You're on. If I manage... you get to sleep in the hallway tonight!' Kevin said. 'You too Kyle.'

'You're on man!' Kyle said and smirked at Nick.

'Observe children...' Kevin said while he got off his stool and crossed the floor to the DJ's stand.

'What's he doing?!' Nick asked.

'Beats me.' Kyle replied.

'Hey everybody. I hope you're all havin' a good time.' Kevin said into the microphone. 'I'm up here because someone dared me to get up here and sing our latest single.'

'He's never gonna pull if off!' Nick knew.

'I hope you're right man...' Kyle whispered.

'This next song, I want to dedicate to my two friends who will be spending their night in the hallway.' Kevin smirked. 'For you kids: Shape of my heart...'

'Oh fuck...' Nick whispered. 'We are SO sleeping in the hallway tonight...'

'Yep bud.' Kyle sighed. 'Get used to the idea.'

'Thank you, thank you very much.' Kevin said when he finished. The crowd cheered. 'Not bad huh Kyle! For a drunk man! Sleep tight kids.'

'Someone's sleeping in the hallway tonight!' AJ said with a singing voice.

'I am having a blast!' Howie added.

'Oh Nick! You guys should have know Kev knows that song by heart!' AJ said.

'It's his favorite you DUMBSHITS!'

'WHAT!' Kyle cried. 'You knew about this?!' Nick slowly nodded as he finished his beer.

'Sorry man. It kinda... slipped my mind for a sec.'

'You are so dead Carter! I'll give ya a night that'll never SLIP you mind... EVER!!' Kyle threatened.

'Cool down Kyle. Have a beer man.' AJ said and gave him a beer.

'Thanks. I needed that.'

'Well. Seems like two kids will be spending their night in the hallway tonight!' Kevin said when he returned.

'Good job Kev!' AJ said. 'You showed 'em good!'

'Oh yeah! I kicked butt!' Kevin smirked.

'That's ma boy!' Howie said.

'Give me your keys boys.' Kevin said and helped up his hand. Kyle and Nick dug into their pockets and handed him the keys. 'Thank you.'

'Yo Kyle. I got another idea...' Nick said.

'Oh no! Not another one!' Kyle cried.

'Hear me out now. This is a good one.' Nick promised.

'Alright. Let's hear it. Talk fast man, this better be really good...'

'What if we get really, I mean really drunk and pass out!' Nick said. Kyle gave it a deep thought.

'You're nuts Carter!' Howie knew.

'Good idea man!' Kyle said. 'Five whiskey's please.'

'Coming up.' The bartender said.

'This night will be over by the time we wake up.' Nick figured.

'I hope so bud.' Kyle said.

'Oh no it won't!' AJ said. 'I'll keep you guys awake!'

'Yeh. Me too.' Howie smirked.

'No way. You'll be passed out as well.' Kyle knew.

'No I won't!' AJ said.

'Yes you will!' Nick smirked.

'No I won't!'

'Yes you will!'

'No Carter! I won't!'

'Kids! Shut up!' Kevin cried and drank one of the whiskey's.

'Hey! That was mine!' Kyle said.

'Oh. One whiskey please.' Kevin asked.

'No problem. One whiskey on the rocks coming up.' The bartender said with a bright smile. He obviously was having a lot of fun, listening to the conversation and the dare.

'Okay. Nick. I wanna make a toast.' Kyle said and raised his glass. 'To a wonderful night together in the hallway!'

'Bottom's up!' AJ smirked.

'Wait a secI do get a pillow and blankets right!' Nick whined.

'Of course.' Howie said.

'Alrighty then. Bottom's up!' Nick said and they all drank their whiskey's in one sip.

'Cheers.' The bartender smirked.
