All of them, eager to make up for the problems they all must have caused, hurried out without a word.
"Look guys," Ellie started, as soon as they got into the car, "Could we at least try to get along for a little?"
"Yeah, whatever, we just gotta find Kev." answered Brian, "Sooo, do any of you girls have boyfriends?" Brian asked trying to make conversation.
Chasity looked at him suspiciously, but replied, "Jenn's dating a guy named Justin, and Ellie," she continued, pointing to her friend, "Is dating one of Mary's leftover boyfriends, a hockey player, from Ontario.."
"Leftovers?" Brian looked at Ellie, expecting her to be angry, but she was smiling, "Cool.." Brian smiled, "What about you and Mary.."
"Wait Howie, okay, now turn left," Chasity turned to Brian, "The 'others'?"
Ellie cut in, "Mary and you.." she laughed, "Chasity just dumped her boyfriend, but Mary's dating Derek Brewer... or is it Keith.. Chasity?"
"Um.. Derek."
When Brian gave them a strange look, Chasity continued, "Twins." then she looked ahead, "Oh, Howie, take a right."
"Must get confusing," Brian laughed, "I mean, maybe she'd done both of them, and just hasn't noticed, could that happen?" he began giggling, as if caught up in an inside joke, and Chasity and Ellie had to smile, he looked so cute, "Actually," replied Ellie, in all seriousness, "I believe she does them both, but she's dating Derek."
The colour drained from Brian's face, and it then, quickly turned red, eager to change the subject, he began talking again, "Well, I'm dating a girl named Leighanne. AJ's girlfirend is a dancer, named Christine, Nick's girlfriend is Mandy."
"Howie," Chasity tapped his shoulder, "How bout you?"
Still surprised at their niceness, Howie only replied, "I've had a few, but no one serious."
She smiled and went on asking, "Why?"
"That's just it!" he replied, turning and smiling back, his hands still on the wheel, "No one's serious!"
"What?!" asked Ellie, confused.
"They've always been.. well.. bimbos!"
They all laughed.
"No wonder!" cried Brian, "They had to be pretty stupid to date 'you'!"
They all laughed all the more, until Chasity cried out, "Stop Howie!"
They all froze and stared at her.
"No.. I just meant that you're supposed to turn right! I left him about four blocks in that direction.. I'm sure, past that crowd, and then take a left."
"Wait!" cried Brian, "Stop!"
"What!" screamed Howie, quite annoyed, "Stop, go, turn, left, right! What is it!?"
"I just want to go see what's happening over there!" he replied, opening the door, and stepping out.
"Dont' get out!" shouted Ellie, "It's not safe! We're supposed to stay together!"
Brian didn't turn back, nonetheless, and only proceeded towards the crowd.
The second he was in view of the crowd, four girls tackled him to the pavement, and began pulling at him, a veteran at the type of situation, he tried to sit up and negotiate, but the forceful lot only pushed him down with more force, and he screamed, "Kevin! Are you there?!"
"Bri!" came a frantic reply.
"Marco!" he screamed jokingly in his suffocation, as they piled onto him. He fliiped on his back, his legs up in the air like a turtle and screamed at the top of his lungs.
Kevin somehow managed to pull away to help him, and Chasity, Howie and Elise quickly got out of the car and ran to help as well. The pulled the cousins out as quickly as they could, before getting recognised. The fans chased them all the way back to the Durango, and they jumped in and drove off, breathless.
"How are you Kev?" asked Ellie.
"It's 'Kev-in', and fine, what is it to you?!" he snapped.
"Hey! Just being nice!"
Brian looked at Kevin, "Wow.. man, you got it bad!"
His hair was flat, scruffy, and he was sweating. His shirt was now sleeveless and ripped in half. His pants were torn and wet and he was covered in dirt.
"Awww! Brian, you too!" Chasity smiled at him, but he didn't smile back, he only glared at her as Kevin had.
Ellie and Chasity kept to themselves all the way back to the hotel.
"Where are we staying?" Kevin asked Howie.
"Ask Ellie, she has the key."
"Ellie," Kevin began, "......"
"It's 'El-ise'!" she snapped, mimicking Kevin.
"I can't believe you gave it to that birdbrian!" he cried.
"Penthouse!" she told him, flatly and they stormed off towards the elevator.
"What floor?" Biran asked, eager to press the button, "Which one?"
Chasity glared at him, "Top button, top floor."
He shrugged, reached for the top button, and pressed away.
They reached the top floor and saw that it was all one large room,with beds everywhereand the only closed off rooms,
the bathrooms and kitchen.
"Weird..." Chasity said... and then they heard the yelling.
"No! I'm on this one!"
"I want it! Brian's over there, furthest from the window, so I want it here!" Nick pointed to the bed.
"But the rest of the beds are by the window!" Mary screamed back, ""I'm afraid of heights!"
"But I'm not all that happy about bein' up this high, either! Not for the two months we'll be here and all, so it's
'my' bed!"
"Just move another bed over, Nick!" Jenna shouted
"Why?!" AJ yelled, "So lard ass can break it?!"
Mary stared at him blankly, "I'll sleep in the tub." and with that she left.
"OH!" Where's princess going 'now'?" cried AJ, going after her, Jenna caught his arm, "Let her be."
"But 'last' time!" he sputtered, "You.. you went after her!"
"You so do not get it!" Jenna replied, and went to unpack.
Go...
