"AJ c'mon we better get dressed, and go sit down.  We've been in here for almost an hour!  Don't you think the guys are gonna start to wonder?" Sophia whispered, beginning to dress herself.

"Aw one more time baby!  Please?"

"AJ!  No way!  What if someone else has to pee, or have sex?  Lets give them a chance."

"But…"

"No!  Hurry up and get dressed!" she said, raising her voice slightly.

"Okay, okay." I mumbled, pulling up my boxers, followed by my pants.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.  Sophia and I remained silent.  I saw the knob turn, and the door swung open.

"Oh my God!  Are you AJ McLean?" a young girl cried out. 

"Oh my God… did you guys just have sex?" the older girl, standing next to her, shouted.

Everyone on the plane turned around to see what the big commotion was. 

"Shhh, girls please, I'll give you autographs in a few minutes, just PLEASE keep quiet, and go sit down." I pleaded.

"Well… okay AJ." they both said in unison, taking their seats at the far end of the plane.

"Oh man, AJ, everyone knows now!" Sophia mumbled.

"Yeah I know… well the guys won't be surprised… they know us WAY too well, so they won't be shocked.  Lets just walk to our seats like nothing happened, okay?"

"Okay honey." she replied.  I gave her a quick kiss, and quickly took our seats behind Colleen and Nick.

"Way to go Bone…" Nick said, slyly, giving me the 'thumbs up' sign.

"Shut the hell up Nick." I replied, angrily.

"Okay, chill kid." he mumbled, turning around to face the front once again.

"Let me go give those girls some autographs." I said to Sophia, getting up and walking over to them.

"Oh hello again AJ… so… how is she in bed?" the older one asked, smiling.

Oh God… I thought to myself… This will be all over the internet before long.

Sophia's View

"Hey Col…"

"What Cefi?"

"Do you think everyone on this plane knows now?"

"Well that girl sure said it loud enough." she giggled, "But I wouldn't worry about it!  Whose gonna believe those 2 young kids?  I mean, so what if everyone else on this plane knows, because it looks like they don't give a shit that the Backstreet Boys are on this plane with them."

"Yeah you're right.  So… what's going on with you and Nick?"

"What?  Nothing!  Why do you ask?" she replied, tensing up a bit.

"Well don't tell me that you two were in the bathroom for nearly 45 minutes, doing nothing."

"Yeah we were!  I was cleaning out his cuts and checking to make sure no ribs were broken."

"Col!  Why can't you tell me what's going on?  We promised we would tell each other everything.  So what's going on?"

"Sophia, there is nothing fucking going on, so stop asking." she snapped.

I couldn't help but be a little hurt about this whole thing.  Col and I were best friends… she's known me for as long as she's known Brian… even longer actually!  She won't even tell me what happened between her and Nick.  I guess she's not the best friend I thought she was…

I noticed Col turn around, looking completely annoyed.

"What happened?"

"Nothing, don't worry about it."

"Okay." I replied, confused.

"Everyone please turn off all electronics, and fasten your seatbelts.  We are now landing in New York's very own, Kennedy Airport.  Thank you."

I made sure I was tightly buckled, as I grabbed Colleen's hand.  This was the most hated part of the plane ride… landing. 

"Okay guys, this will be our hotel for the next few days.  Room with whoever you'd like."  Kevin said.

"You're with me right?" I asked, Colleen, smiling devilishly.

"Yep." she replied, giggling.

After a few minutes had passed, we were all handed keys to our hotel rooms.

"Okay guys listen up, tomorrow we are to meet to practice for the Rosie O'Donnell Show.  The studios where we'll be are down the block, and to the left.  Be there 9:00 a.m.  Please don't be late!  Okay Nick?" Kevin shouted, glancing over towards me.

"Yeah, yeah." I mumbled, smiling.

"Brian's with me, Howie's with Marietta, AJ's with Sophia… guys no funny stuff, and Nick's with Col.  You guys wanna chill in my room tonight?"

We all nodded.

"Okay guys, be in my room by 8… I'll order some pizza."  he finished, as him and Brian took the elevator to their room on the fourth floor.  The rest of us scattered about, while me and Colleen took the stairs to our second floor room.

"This is it Nick, 16A."

As we stepped inside, I was greeted by two queen sized beds, a complete snack bar, a huge kitchen, two bathrooms, and a big screen TV. 

"Wow." I muttered, dropping my bags and jumping on one of the beds.

"Yeah I know." she replied, sitting beside me.  I gave her a quick kiss.

"What was that for?"

"That's a preview of what's to come later on…" I grinned.

"Oh really?  Well I'm gonna take a quick nap."

"Okay, I'm gonna go visit Brian.  Try to work things out."

"Okay, later babes."

"Bye sweetie."

I watched her drift off to sleep, as I walked out the door. 

Brian's View

Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang…

"Coming!" I shouted, flinging open the door.

"What the hell do you want?" I asked, rudely, as I was greeted by Nick.

"I came to get my best friend, Brian Littrell, back.  May I have him?"

"Oh God Nick, you're such a retard, it's funny." I said, trying not to laugh.

"Yeah I know.  So what do you say?  Lets put aside our differences, and the fact that you almost killed me today, and be friends… c'mon please?" 

He looked pretty sincere, so I figure 'why not?'

"Well…"

"Please?"

"Okay.  Wanna hook up some N64 and play?" I asked. 

"Yeah lets!  Oh crap I forgot to pack it."

"Don't worry I packed it." I said, laughing at his panicked face when he thought we weren't gonna get to play.

"Oh thank God." he replied, taking a deep breath.

"Mario Kart… here we come!" he shrieked running over and jumping on the bed. 

"You're quite hyper aren't you?"

"Yes, yes, hyper I am."

"Okay, hmm… calm down so we can play." I replied, plugging in the system.

"I wanna be Toad!"                                                         

"Yeah as long as I can be Yoshi." I added.

"Alright fine.  Lets play!"

And so I began my afternoon with some Mario Kart… Nick Carter style.
