The 7 of us sat around the room. "Well lets drive around and see what we find, in the meantime we'll decide what to do this afternoon after the radio show." Kevin suggested and we all agreed. Howie beeped John to get the van. We all went to our rooms to change. We decided to dress casually and bring a change of clothing so we wouldn't have to come back to the hotel. I decided to put on some of my new clothes. I put on shorts, the Tommy tank top that I found in one of the boxes, mascara, and blue eyeliner.I put on my new Tommy sneakers. I left my hair down because it was still damp. Before leaving the room I picked up the bag with my change of clothes and my backpack purse. I made sure that I had all my IDs and passes and met the guys and our bodyguards in the hallway.
On the way to the parking lot we had to stop 4 times for the guys to give autographs and take pictures. Even dressed casually they looked amazing.Kevin wore a white shirt with a blue t-shirt over it, jeans, and sneakers. Brian had on a Tommy shirt, long baggy shorts, and Reeboks, Howie wore a tight yellow and black shirt, with baggy jeans and sneakers. AJ wore extremely baggy overalls that showed about 2 inches of the top of his boxers, a tight black muscle shirt, cool sneakers, and sunglasses of course. Nick wore a baggy red and white FILA shirt, baggy black surfer shorts, and the latest Nikes.
We finally reached the parking lot, by now we were all starving. We spotted the van waiting for us. Simultaneously, Aaron, Nick, Brian, and I yelled 'shotgun', we looked at each other and started running towards the van as if we were being chased by an unruly mob. I reached the passenger door 2 seconds before the three of them, but before I could get the door open and get into the van they caught up to me. Suddenly I felt someone's arms grab me and wrap around my waist. The next thing I knew Nick was holding me in the air while Brian and Aaron tickled the life out of me. In between bursts of laughter I yelled at him to let me go. I squirmed and struggled to get free but it wouldn't work I ended up out of breath. While I was being tortured Aaron sneaked into the passenger seat and Nick and Brian finally let me go. We were all laughing but for different reasons. Inside the van, John could barely breath from laughing. Nick looked menacingly at Aaron through the window as if threatening him for taking the front seat.
"Are you guys done torturing the poor girl??" AJ came up behind me as he asked Brian and Nick "I... don't know, the day is still young.." Brian rebuttled laughing. "Thats it, if this keeps up I'll end up dying of laughter." I said trying to sound upset with a grin on my face. We dumped our bags into the back of the van. AJ opened the side door. Brian and Nick climbed into the first back seat, the one nearest to the front. "I'm sitting in the back with my new best friends." I taunted and climbed into the back with Kevin and Howie. AJ sat next to Brian in the seat in front of us. "Man I'm starving, John lets go." Howie said leaning over the middle seat. "Same here, although I don't think I'd be this hungry if my breakfast hadn't been water logged this morning.." I said laughing. We all laughed remembering the morning's activities.
We drove around town for half an hour looking for somewhere to eat. Every time we drove by a McDonalds AJ would look out the window longingly. After arguing about where to eat we decided to eat at the food court of the nearest mall so everyone could eat whatever they wanted. The whole way there Brian, Aaron, and Nick sang along to the radio in an extremely high pitched out of tune voice just to irritate someone and to see who would be the first one to reprimand them. No one did, we just gave them dirty looks and chatted among ourselves. By the time we got out of the van the guys were unrecognizable under their disguises and since we only took one bodyguard with us we didn't attract much attention.
Thankfully the mall wasn't very crowded, mainly cause the greater part of their town's female population was storming the radio station where we would be later on. The closest thing to Mcdonalds that AJ could find was a place that sold Chicken hamburgers. Kevin and I ate from Sbarro's, Nick,Howie, and Aaron had pizza, and Brian had pasta. A couple of us tried to sneak away and do some shopping when Kev's cell phone rang, it was Denise. Everything was ready at the station and we had to be there in 25 minutes. Since the station was kindafar we had to leave right away. Thankfully it was a radio show meaning that the only people who would see us would be the DJs and the few fans that were allowed in the studio, at least we wouldn't have to be under the eyes of Kiki and Angie, or so we thought.
When we reached the radio station cops had to part the mass of fans to allow the van to go through. The rest of the security team met us at the station. What would have taken a normal person 5 minutes to get into the studio took us 10. I've never seen as much love for their fans as the guys had. They tried to give everyone a hug or an autograph until finally our security pushed us through all the fans. We finally got to the studio. I had never been in a radio station studio so I gawked at all the equipment. AJ kept teasing me to pick up my chin from the floor,I gave him a nasty look and stuck my tongue out. We were introduced to the DJs and in general to the 15 fans that won the chance to be in the studio with the guys.
We went on the air and did an interview. The very first thing we were asked about was the accident with the fans. We talked about it for a while and then they went on to ask normal stuff- how are you all doing? What do you think of the tour? Any news? Future plans? etc..They asked me if I had comments and I just told them that the guys were a big pain in the butt, and about the water fight we had that morning. Everyone laughed. The guys did a couple of old songs a capella and answered questions from the fans. Surprisingly, they asked me a few questions. One girl who looked to be about 16 asked me, "What's it like living on a bus with these guys?" the 7 of us laughed "Well usually on the bus we are either incoherent or zonked out from exhaustion. It's really exhausting but I'd have to say that so far its been the most fun and the most exilirating week of my life. We have a lot of fun. We usually have a food fight at least once a day." Everyone laughed and the girl sat back down.
We did the radio show thing for about 1 hour and then it ended. During the show the DJs awarded the guys with a plaque for having the most continuous song at # 1- Every time I close my Eyes had stayed at #1 for 32 weeks straight and was still #1. The guys gracefully accepted the plaques and posed for almost a hundred pictures. We finally left and decided to drive around the city for a while to figure out what we wanted to do that afteroon.
After about ten minutes we were ready to go play golf when we drove by a GO Kart/mini golf/ arcade. "John John turn right there." I quickly leaned over the front seat not being able to get the words out of my mouth fast enough. John was the only other person that had noticed the place. The guys had bewildered looks on their faces. We pulled right in front of the place in the parking lot and you could see the Go Kart track, that's when the guys saw it "Oh yeah, I can definitely do this all afternoon." Aaron gasped hanging his head out the window, the rest of the guys doing the same.
