"And you're the one who wouldn't stop complaining! The entire flight, you bitched about how scared you were of flying. Okay, I get the fact that you have a fear, but did you have to whimper the entire flight?" he shot back.

"And you didn't make it any easier! Word of advice, shit head. When you meet someone with an intense fear of flying, DON'T MAKE THEM THINK THAT THE PLANE IS GOING TO CRASH!" Lilia yelled. Paul was shocked beyond words. Lilia was normally the quite reserved type, not one to blow up at someone.

"I am ever so sorry that you are the most gullible person on the planet, but that's your own fault you believed everything I said!" he yelled back.

"You sadist! None of that was true? What kind of demented psycho gets pleasure from tormenting people with their fears?" Lilia raged.

"You were boring me to death! I needed entertainment!" he yelled right back. The members of both bands were completely speechless at this display of anger.

"Lilia calm down!" Paul whispered furiously.

"I will not! You have no idea what this...shit head did to me on that plane!" she yelled. By then, members of the crew, dancers and other people backstage had gathered to see the commotion.

"Lilia, when you're about to start a world tour as an opening act, rule number one is you don't piss off the main act! You just don't" Paul warned.

"Lilia, must you be such a pain to everyone around here?" Nick said, mocking Paul's condescending tone.

"I'm a pain? You're putting all of this on me? Are you completely full of shit, or this just an off day?" she demanded. Suddenly, Lilia and Nick burst into laughter. They were laughing so hard they had to gasp for air. They looked at the confused faces of the two bands and laughed even harder.

"What's going on?" Jacki demanded.

"Nick and I met on the plane and figured out that we were headed for the same place," Lilia started until she could no longer choke back her laughter and had to stop.

"So we decided to find a way to trip you guys out a bit. And I think it went pretty well, considering the look on your faces," Nick said.

"Nick..." the other members of the Backstreet Boys said in a warning tone.

"Oh shit," he said, and took off, the rest of them chasing after him. Lilia turned in amazement toward Paul and Sandy.

"Yes, they are always like this. Even more so sometimes," Damon said.

"And Lilia, next time one of them compliments you, don't act all...embarrassed. They are just normal guys," Paul said.

"I know that. But I don't know, there is just something about being around famous people that makes me uneasy," she said.

"Baby, you've never been around famous people."

"Yeah, that would be the thing. Anyway, shouldn't we go and make sure they don't kill him?" Lilia asked.

"Nope. Let him suffer," Damon said, walking away.
