~~~If You Knew What I Knew~~~
~~~~~~CHAPTER 3~~~~~~
Everyone was on the bus by 6:00, some more awake then others. They started to go over the show around 8:00. Everything went the way it was supposed to. The costume changes, affects, dancing, the boys flying thingies, and it was done under the right amount of time. So, everything went well at the practice, but lets see if it goes well in the real thing. For the rest of the day everyone pretty much kept to themselves. Maybe because of nerves or maybe because everyone wasn't completly comfortable around everyone else yet. They all just hung out around backstage and on the buses. Gina stepped on the bus and went straight to the back in the Entertainment room. Elena sat back there watching tv. Gina smiled and sat down next to her on the couch. "So, watch ya watching?" She looked at the screen and saw Dawson from Dawson's Creek appear. Gina chuckled. "Oh, I should have known. I didn't know they had this here." Elena shook her head. "They don't. It's my tape." Gina smiled. "Oh, I see. Hey this is the one with Eve. Ohhh, I hate her." Elena nodded. "Yeah, me too."
Just then Brian and AJ walked in the back. "Hey ladies," AJ said, "What's on the tube?" Elena answered him without moving her eyes aways from the screen. "My tape of Dawson's Creek Episodes. Can't leave home without it." Brian laughed. "And how old are we?" AJ chimned in. "Yeah, really. Isn't this for like 15 and 16 year old girls." Elena shrugged her shoulders. "Eh, I like it. Who cares? Plus that Dawson is one hottie." AJ just rolled his eyes and said, "Well if we are stuck watching it then you mine as well tell us whats going on." Elena took a deep breath and began. "Well, that girl is Eve. She is some slut that Dawson meet on a bus. Anyway, now she is here in Capeside, totally all over him. Errr, I hate her." Brian backed up. "Wow, she's gonna explode. Everyone was quiet for a moment. Then AJ spoke up. "Okay, I don't get this show. This hot chick wants Dawson's body and he is pushing her away. Hello?" All of a sudden Gina started to get furious. "So what. He doesn't want to do it with her. He is waiting and doesn't want to give it away to any whore that walks down the street. God, men are such pigs these days. And I thought were different, but your just a jerk." Before AJ could defend himself, she got up and stormed out of the room and of the bus. AJ just sat there, suprised at her reaction. "What's her problem?" Elena shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe she is made at something and she just took it out on you, I don't know. I'll find out later." Brian chuckled a little. "Ha! Maybe she doesn't like you." AJ gave him a look. "Whatever."
Soon it was 7:30 and 98 degrees was on the stage. The girls of Charmed sat backstage paitently waiting for their turn. Around 8:15 they hit the stage. They entered by coming up through the floor. Right before they were pushed up on the platform, space like music was being played and everyone was already going nuts. When the plaitform started to move the girls grabbed hands. They did it out of being nervous and because they had heels on and didn't want to fall. They did their 12 songs. Soon they were done and waiting backstage. They were so glad everyone was so happy. They love to see the happy faces of their fans. They were also glad to be back on tour. They may get homesick, but they wouldn't give this up for the world. When the Backstreet Boys did their final song, 'I want it that way', everyone went back on the stage to take one final bow. Some of the dancers wanted to go out and party afterwards, but everyone else was tired and went to sleep.
The next day they had a second show in London. Karen was in the cafeteria getting some coffee because she was super tired because it was 7:30 in the morning. She stood at the table that was set up stirring the coffee her her cup. She looked up and saw Jeff walking towards her. She started to get a little nervous. She liked him a lot and everytime she would talk to him she would just clam up and not know what to say. He walked up to her. "Hey Karen! Is the coffee good today?" Jeff wanted to hit himself. 'Is the coffee good today? Thats what you say.' He thought to himself. 'You must have plained out what you would say to her a million times in your head and you ask her about coffee.' Karen smiled. "It's swell." Karen lowered her eyes. 'Swell? I am such a dork.' Jeff stirred his coffee. "So...you wanna sit and talk?" Karen couldn't help but smile. "Sure." They walked over to a table and sat down. "How did everything go last night for your first time on stage as a dancer for two of the most famous groups?" Karen let out a breath of air. "Whew. Very scary, but I had a blast." Jeff nodded. "Thats good." He ran his fingers through his hair, something he does when he gets nervous. Jeff looked at her face. 'Man she is gourgous.' Then he noticed he was stairing at her so he quickly looked away so she wouldn't think she was a freak. They were silent for what seemed like an hour but was only a few minutes. Jeff looked at his watch. It was now 7:50. He stood up. I gotta go. Sound check is at 8:00. She waved. "Okay, bye." Karen watched him walk away. She put her head in her hands. 'God, why can't I just tell him that I like him?' She stood up and walked back to the bus.
