~~~If You Knew What I Knew~~~
~~~~~~CHAPTER 16~~~~~~
Brian ran up to Nick who was at the basketball net behind the arena. Nick turned and saw him coming. "Nick, look who arrived today." Brian brought his arms around from the back of him to reveal a cute little Chihuahua. "Tyke! Hey, buddy how ya been?" He grabbed the dog out of Brian's hands. "My neighbor was keeping him at her house and I called her up and told her to send him down here. So she put him on a flight out. I've missed him so much. I had to have him back." Brian said. "Cool. So he'll be with us the rest of the tour?" Nick asked. Brian nodded his head and took him back in his arms. Nick smiled. "I've got something I want to show you too." Nick reached in his pocket and pulled out a black box and opened it. A dimond ring sat inside it. "I'm going to do it." Brian smiled. "Cool man. When?" Nick shrugged his shoulders and put th box back in his pocket. "I don't know. When the time is right, I guess." Brian nodded his head. He heard foot steps walking up behind him. He turned and saw Elena walking up toward them with a water bottle in her hand. "Bri, there you are. I was woundering where you went." She walked up and kissed him. Then she walked over to Nick and handed him the water bottle. "Here ya go Nick." Nick smiled. "Thanks. I'm so thirsty." Brian glaired at Nick. "You made her get you some water." Elena shrugged her shoulders. "It's okay. I was going over there anyway. So where were you?" Elena asked. Brian smiled. "At the airport so I could pick him up." Elena looked down at what was in his hands. "Uh..what is that?" She said as she backed away a little. "It's Tyke. He's my dog. And my little buddy." He said as he patted him on the head. "Elena, whats wrong?" Nick asked her. Elena sighed. "Oh...nothing. It's just, I'm not a big dog person thats all." Brian lowered his eyes. "Oh...sorry." Elena shook her head. "Oh no. Don't be. He is cute and all. I'll pet him, see?" She said as she patted Tyke on the head. "Just don't expect me to cuddle up with him." Brian chuckled. "It's cool."

Kevin and Danielle stepped into the hotel room. Another concert had ended and they wanted to get some sleep. Charmed have to be up by 6am because they are going to be on Rosie O'Donnell. Kevin noticed his cell phone sitting on the bed. He saw he had a voice mail He pressed the button and put the phone to his ear. Danielle watched him as she sat on the bed. She didn't know who it was, but from the look on Kevin's face it looked important. Kevin listened silently.
-"Kev? Hi..um..it's Jess. Look, I don't even know why I'm calling you. Its just...it...right now it seems like I can't trust anyone. I feel like I can trust you. I need to talk to you. Please call me back. I'll understand if you don't. Good-bye."-
Danielle stared at him as he layed the phone down on the bed. "Who was it? What's wrong?" Kevin sat down next to her. "Um..it was Jessica." Danielle rose one eyebrow. "Jessica? What did she want?" Kevin shrugged his shoulders. "I have no idea. She was rambling on about how she can't tust anyone. I'll have to call her tomorrow." Danielle put her hands up. "Wait. Your actually going to call her back." Kevin nodded. "Yeah. She sounded upset. I have no hard feelings towards her." "What?" Danielle asked. "You were supposed to be married, remember?" Kevin sighed. "Why do you care so much? It's not like I'm going to run back into her arms. I don't love her anymore. I love you." He said as he pointed at her. He walked over and kissed her. "She sounded really upset. I'll just call her tomorrow just see whats up, okay?" Danielle sighed. "Fine."

Rosie smiled as the show came back from commercial. The girls had performed 'Here I am' before the break and now they were sitting in five chairs next to the desk. "Well, hello and welcome back. I'm here with Charmed. Hi girls. How is everything?" They all smiled and nodded and a few had said 'fine'. "That's good. You girls are huge right now. I turn on mtv and your at number one and people are screaming your name and holding signs. Last time you were here it was different." Elena nodded. "Yeah, last time we were here that was our first television interview so we weren't that famous yet. But it's crazy right now." Rosie nodded. "I'd believe it would be. Now, you girls are in the middle of a tour with the Backstreet Boys. Plus, 98 degrees is opening. Is it a little annoying to have to share the stage?" The all shook their heads no. "No way. I mean, they are both very talented groups and we really enjoy being around them. What girl in her right mind would turn down an oppurtunity to tour with nine nice and very good looking guys." Christina said. Rosie laughed. "Very true. Is it weird for you guys to be conciderated teen idols? Usually these type of thigs happen to boy groups. But you girls have a female and male base." "Yeah," Laura started, "we hear many boys say their fans of us just because of they way we look. Thats great and all but we're not out here to show our looks, we're out here to make great music." "But we do love our fans with all our hearts. If it wasn't for them we wouldn't be here. We are always thinking about them." Danielle added. There were cheers form the audience. "We love you guys." Gina shouted. More cheers. The others nodded and agreed. "Well, ladies, I wish we had much more time, but we don't. Please come back soon." They all smiled. "We sure will." Elena said.

Christina walked down the hallway of the hotel and heard a bark. She stopped infront of Brian's room. He sat on the bed playing with a little Chihuahua. "Oh, he is so cute." Christina said as she walked in. Brian looked up and smiled. "His name is Tyke." "Awww." She walked over and sat on the bed. Tyke walked over to her and licked her face. "Hey, would you mind watching him for about and hour. I promised Elena I'd get a drink with her down at the bar." Christina smiled. "Of course I'll do it. Would you mind if I took him for a walk outside?" Brian shook his head. "Not at all. He loves walks. His leash is over on the chair. Thanks a lot Christina." Brian patted Tyke on the head and walked out the door. Christina got up and put the leash on Tyke and they walked down to the lobby and out back towards the pool. She saw a nice little field behind the pool and she walked towards it, with Tyke close behind, sniffing a few things along the way. Christina sat down on the grass and Tyke walked over and sat down on her lap. He licked her on the face again. She smiled. "Geez, you like to lick people a lot, don't you?" Christina looked up and saw Nick walking towards her. She sighed. Nick waved and ran up to her and sat down next to her. "Hey. I see you and Tyke have become buddy-buddy." Christina smiled. "Yeah. He is so cute." Nick leaned over and kissed her. "I miss you. We have been so busy lately. I hardly get to see you anymore." He said with a laugh. Christina nodded. Nick continued. "I love you a lot and I think we should get married." Christina's eyes grew wide. "What?" Nick sat up a little and pulled the ring out of his pocket. "Will you?" Christina staired at the ring. Then she stood up and picked Tyke up. "I'm sorry Nick. I can't." Then she ran down the hill, with Tyke in her arms, and back into the hotel.
