Later in the day, they were still ignoring each other. After the concert, the crew had to leave the town now because they were having another concert the next evening. That mean that they had to ride all night to get to the next city. And because they had to leave right after the concert, the girls went in the same bus than the boys.
"Aaah...still have to ride all night..." groaned Nick. "But... I have you with me so it's gonna be alright!" he added before kissing Rachel.
"Yeah it's gonna be okay" she said smiling.
The bus was a little too small for all these people but because they were never all in the same room so it was going great. Brian, Amber, Becky, Naomie, Howie, Rachel and Nick were in the tv room watching a movie, Stacey and Carly were sleeping in their bunks while Kevin, Aj and Ashley were in the kitchen eating.
"I can't believe no one is hungry after this concert!" exclaimed Ashley.
"You're the only one who eat all the time beside us!" replied Kevin.
"And I'm the best dancer!" she said laughing. "Hey what's wrong Aj, you're not talking... it's weird..."
"I have nothing to say" he said with a angry tone.
Ashley and Kevin looked at each other suprised. "Well, I'll go watch the movie too. Sorry to leave you alone with him." Kevin said smiling to Ashley.
"I'll handle it!" she answered with a low funny voice. When she saw that Kevin had left, she turned to Aj.
"Sorry to leave you alone with your thoughts but I think you need to be alone... and anyway I'm really tired so I'll go sleep a little" she said before to kiss him on the cheek. "Good night bone"
"Good Night" he said looking down.
He was thinking about Becky. Anyone knew about the fight they had earlier. Well, if they knew something about it, they weren't saying it. He was feeling bad about that. They were becoming really close friends before last night at the club and he liked that. Now he screwed up everything. Suddently, the door opened slowly.
"Hey bone..ya feeling alright?" asked Amber.
"Hum ...yeah..." he said still looking down.
"Come on, tell me what's bugging ya!" she said as she sat in front of him.
He wasn't talking so she decided to start talking for him about Becky.
"What happened between you and Beck? ... you both are looking so angry..."
He wasn't talking more, his eyes still glued at the table.
"Listen Aj... I knew you had a fight together...I heard you two while I was walking in the hallway... don't worry, I'm the only one to know about it but...god what's wrong?? What happened? You were saying really bad things to each other..." she added.
"I don't even know... "
"Why were you so mad at her??" asked Amber curious.
"I don't know... she was mad at me too..." he said trying to know why he was like that.
"Come on, you can't be mad at someone without a reason! Does something happened at the club??"
"She was flirting a lot...". It was the only thing he could say. Then he looked at Amber.
"So what? it's bugging ya that she flirt? I mean...you probably were doing the same thing no?"
"Yeah..." he said.
"hum...sorry to ask you this but does something else happened after that party night where you got...a surprise?"
"No! Not at all!" he almost yelled.
"So nothing is going on between you two??"
"No... " he said
"Aj... I think you're falling for her man..." she said smiling.
"What? What are you talking about?!?" he said surprised.
"Come on! You're angry with her because you're jealous!" she said trying to convinced him.
"Jealous?? I..." he said confused.
"Admitt it Aj! You have a thing for her! why are you jealous like that then??" she asked still smiling at him.
"I... I don't know.." he said. "No... I don't like her.." he added trying to convince himself.
"Anyway, think about it... she's probably feeling the same way if she's angry too... try to talk to her about that... without yelling and everything..." she said sheering. "I'll go see Brian or he'll go nuts... wanna come to watch the movie?"
"Nah, I'll go sleep. Thanks."
"No problem!" she said as she walked away.
After the movie, they all decided it'd be a great idea to sleep. They slept until they arrived to the city. They went straight to the arena where the concert was going to be. They had the rehearsal to do and then they were stucked into the arena until the concert. The management had told them it'd be too much troubles if they would ride to the hotel between the rehearsal and the concert.
The rehearsal went great, everyone were working hard but goofing around a lot because they had a lot of time to kill.
"Ok, enough for today!" Mindi said laughing at the guys. They were dancing like idiot all around the stage.
"Yeah, let's go eat!!!" Rachel's father screamed. "You're coming?" he added looking at the dancers and the 5 boys.
"I'm not angry yet..." Rachel said. The other all agreed with her because they had eaten just before the rehearsal. All the musicians went eating while the other were wondering what they could now do of their free time in the stadium.
"Let's danceeeeeeeeeee" screamed Aj starting to make stupid dances. Everyone laughed at him.
"I'm tired to dance now..." Ashley laughed. "I don't wanna be exhausted at the concert tonight"
"Yeah she's right!" Brian said smiling.
"Let's play some stupid game!" Stacey said as she was walking from backstage to go to the stage with them.
"Hey Stace!!" Kevin said. "What stupid game??"
"I don't know..if you really have nothing to do of your time right now... come back to your childhood... " she said with a cute little smile.
"Like what??" Ashley asked really into it.
"I don't know... it's big place here.. the best place to play... hide and seek!!!" she shouted with a mysterious smile.
"Hide and Seek??" they all looked at her suprised.
"Yeah it'd be great!!!!!" shouted Nick still a child. Everyone looked at him laughing. "Come on, it'd be fun!!" he added.
"Yeah, anyway, we have nothing else to do..." Becky said.
"Alright! Let's play in team!" Stacey said. "We'll have 2 teams... and half will go hide and the others will seek. But the arena is big so... it's won't be everywhere in it... only the first floor... it's enough big!!"
"Yeah enough big! Ok... who's doing the teams?"
"Boys agains Girls??" Ashley proposed.
"Nah... it won't be fair..." Aj said with an evil look.
"Hey!!! We can beat you!!" Rachel said.
"I'm sorry to contradict you sweetheart, but we'll probably beat you..." Nick said giggling.
"Well, we'll see..." Carly said with a competition tone. "Get ready to loose!"
"Yeah yeah... " Howie replied. "So who starts hiding?"
"We will!!!" Becky shouted. "So turn around ... you can't see us leave! And count until... 100"
"And if in 10 minutes, they didn't find ya, you come out and tell them they are losers!!" Carly told her friends.
"Alright!" the 5 boys answered. They turned around and started counting. When they heard that the girls were gone of the stageroom, they started talking.
"What an idea!!" AJ laughed.
"I think it's funny! Stacey get weird idea sometimes but she's a lot of fun when she's around!" Kevin replied.
"Yeah it's fun!! I mean... it's the first time we do something like that..." Nick added.
"Yup! Hey guys, don't forget we have 7 girls to find.. so as soon as you get one, you get her here, on the stage, and run to find another one!" Brian said really into the game.
"Yeah yeah B-rok!" Aj laughed. "Ok, I think time's up...let's go guys!!!"
They left the room, each one at a side, laughing like 5 devils.
Brian was running in the hallways, opening every doors he can to find any of the girls. The first floor was really big and he was thinking that he wouldn't find someone in there when suddently he heard a familiar laugh.
"Ah ah... I'll got ya sweetie..." he said knowing that Amber was hiding behind the wall. He walked slowly and then looked behind the wall. "I'll have to teach you how to hide..." he added giggling.
"Ha ha ha..." she said laughing. "I wanted you to find me...that's why!"
"Oooh...I see..." he said before to put his lips on hers. "But... now you're my prisoner and I have to take you to jail!"
"aah.. " she complain. "Alright let's go..."
They both walked to the stage, hand in hand and Brian was still watching carefully because he wanted to find other girls. Suddently he heard a noise beside him. "Ah ah...I think I found another prey" he said walking to the little restaurant. "Is someone hiding in there???" he asked laughing.
"NO!!" someone said before to burst out laughing.
Brian laughed and looked inside. He saw Rachel's long blondish hair.
"Ah ah!! I found you! I have 2 prisoners now!" he said proudly.
"Too bad Nick didn't find ya Rach..." Amber said giggling.
"Hey...she's lucky that I'm the one who find her! The other guys get really lout with their prisoners...believe me, I'm an angel beside them!" he said with a big smile.
"Oh yes you are!!" Amber said before to kiss him.
Brian walked into the stage room, screaming that he was the best. He was the first one who had find someone and he had find two of them.
*Meanwhile*
Nick was running into the backstage trying to find someone. He was thinking that maybe none of the girls came backstage. But he thought that maybe they didn't think about it. "If someone's hiding here, he's smart like me!" he said to himself. Then he opened the door where their costumes for the show were. Then he saw a shoe right beside the clothes rack. He pull the rack to see who was hiding behind it.
"Ah ah !!! Gotcha!!!" he said with a cute little smile.
"Finally!!" Naomie said feeling a little ill at ease that Nick found her. In another way she was happy but didn't want to show it too much.
"Now my dear Naomie, you're mine! I have to take you to the torture room" he added with a mysterious look. He took her hand and start walking to get her on stage.
"Really funny!" she said trying to smile.
"So, you're the one as smart as me!!!" he said trying to make her laugh.
"What!?!?" she asked confuse.
"Don't say it to anyone, but I'd have come to hide backstage too!" he said smiling.
"Yeah, but you found me anyway!" she said laughing.
"That's because I saw your shoe... I wouldn't have find ya if it wasn't of that..." he said looking her.
"Oh I see now!" she said.
"Look at the beautiful specimen I got here!!!" screamed Nick pointing at Naomie while they were walking on the stage where Brian, Amber and Rachel were.
Naomie smiled at Nick. "Now you'll have to stay here with the other beautiful!" he said leaving her with the 2 other girls. "Hey I wanted to find you.." he said to Rachel.
"Too late, my angel is too good, he found us both!" Amber said laughing.
"Too bad!" he said doing a fake sad look. "I'm sorry to leave you here my sweetheart...but that's the game, I have to help my friends, we have only 5 minutes left!!!" he said to Rachel before to put a quick but sweet kiss on her lips. "Come on Bri, let's go!!"
The 2 friends left. Then Howie came in with Ashley.
"Oooh..Ashley got cut too!" Rachel said laughing.
"I thought I'd have the best hiding place!!!" she laughed.
"Ash...you were standing right there in front of me in the hallway!!!" Howie said.
Ahsley roared with laughter. "No no, that's not true!!"
"Anyway, stay here with them... we have to win!!" he said as he left the room.
"Don't even think about winning man!!!" Ashley shouted laughing.
*Meanwhile*
Kevin wasn't running... he was walking slowly, watching everything surrounding him. Then he walked to the door right in front of him. He didn't know where this door was leading him but he opened it anyway.
"AAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Stacey what made Kevin jump really high.
"Don't do that!!!!!! I almost had an heart attack!!!" he replied laughing.
"Ah too bad it didn't work... " she said seriously.
Kevin looked at her. He didn't know if she was kidding or not.
"Oh I can see you really like me ..." he said hurt.
"I do like you... but... we would have win if you'd be dead now..." she said before to laugh and smacked him friendly in the back. "I'm just kidding!!!"
"Ha ha ha!" he replied smiling. "You're a real child Stace!"
"I know.. I didn't leave my childhood yet... I don't want to!" she said.
"Alright alright little girl... daddy have to get you home and celebrate the boys victory!" he shouted.
*During this time*
"Does someone is gonna find me? I'm tired to be here..." Becky whispered. She was stucked in a empty closet. "The time is probably up.." she thought. She walked to the door and when she opened it, Aj was standing there.
"Oh there you are sweetie!" he said smiling. "I was going to check in but if you want us to win, let's go!"
"Ok now shut up!" she replied. "Let's go"
"Wait a minute... you're still mad at me?!?!"
"N...no I'm not!" she said looking angry.
"Hey...tell me what's going on because I have no clue why you're angry with me!!" he said looking her in the eyes.
"Well...you were angry too remember?" she asked.
"yeah but I firgured out that it was stupid because I didn't even know why... so can you do the same thing or just tell me why you look so upset?"
Becky didn't say a word. She was looking his eyes. "He has beautiful eyes" she thought. She didn't know what to say.
"I can see that you don't know either don't you?" Aj asked her.
She looked at the floor feeling stupid. Aj walked closer to her and lift her chin. They looked at each other's eyes. Aj moved closer again and put his lips on hers. He kissed her passionately, moving his hand on her hips. She responded to his kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Huh-hum.." Carly said loudly as she saw the 2 others kissing deeply. "Sorry to interrupted you guys but I think they are waiting for us on the stage... and I think you guys lost because no one found me!! We'll wait for you on the stage!" she added as she left the two alone.
"Ooh great.." Aj said smiling at Becky. "It's your fault!"
"Hey!" she replied smiling back. "You're the one who kissed me first!!"
"Sorry... I had to... you were too beautiful !"
"Yeah yeah..." she said still smiling. "I think the other are waiting for us...maybe we should go.."
"Yeah maybe we should..." he said not moving. They both were thinking about that kiss.
"Want some more?" she asked knowing that they were both thinking about the same thing.
"Hell yeah!!" he said before to kissed her again. It was a longer and stronger kiss and their tongues were playing together. They were in another world, not thinking about the other guys, about that hide and seek game, forgetting about everything surronding them. When they broke the kiss, they came down to reality.
"I think we should go now..." Becky said.
"It'd be a great idea..." he said knowing that his friends were gonna teased him a lot.
They walked to the stage silently, but both all smile.
"Oh I think Bone found someone..." Brian told him laughing. "But it's a little too late man... we lost..."
"Who cares?" Aj asked giggling.
Everyone started laughing. Carly had told them she found the 2 kissing in the closet.
"Oh yeah girls, we rule!!!" Ashley shouted.
"We are the champions, my friends..." started singing Naomie.
The girls were really happy to win even if they knew it was just a game. It was just fun to win against the boys. Because they were usually winning at sports and nintendo... things like that. The boys wanted the revenge but they all decided it'd be a great idea to go eat a little something before the concert.
