In the car Howie turned to Allie ‘I don't want this evening to end, do you want to go and grab a drink?"
"Sure, I mean what the hell I only have a term paper due Monday." Allie smiled and leaned over to kiss Howie.."Let's go somewhere quiet okay?"
Howie winked " You got it."

"Bye Frack ,try to get some sleep." Brian smiled at his best friend.
Nick smiled and walked up the stairs to his house. The evening had done little to take his mind off of Allie or the fact that he missed his little brother...He set the alarm and walked into the living room and turned on the television.
He saw the red light on his machine indicating there was a message..
"Hi Nick, its me Aaron, I am tired and gone to bed but mom and I miss you. Hope your rehearsing for the new show is going great. Love you." Aaron giggled and the phone went dead.
Nick smiled, he was glad his brother was getting to experience the same things as him but he really missed him, he knew if he could play one game of Crash Bandicoot with Aaron he would be fine..He turned off the tv and went up to bed.

"Okay cuz, so what is the story with Nick?" Kevin asked his cousin on the way to his house.
"Man I don't even know where to begin, let's see, Nick seems to have a crush on Howie's new girl, he misses Aaron like crazy and he is having a hard time dealing with all the shit about the media and his so called weight problem."
Kevin took a deep breath in " Wow, poor guy, I mean I know the media is giving him a hard time but I thought he was handling it well, Aaron will be home in another month and well I cannot say anything about Allie and her sister cuz honestly those girls are hot." Kevin grinned.
"Gee Kev, thanks for the insight, now what are we going to do about Nick?" Brian asked his cousin concerned.
Kevin sat back and thought..."I need a good night's sleep to figure this out..mind you there is probably no real solution, I am sure we have all been attracted to a friend's girlfriend."
Brian shook his head and kept driving.

AJ and Chia were lying on the dock wrapped in a sleeping bag looking up into the clear sky and searching for patterns in the sky.
"There is Orion...and there is the little dipper" AJ pointed to Chia.
Chia wished that she could take this moment and bottle it up, set it out to sea and hope that 2 other lovers found it and could share in the magical moment.
"Baby what are you thinking of right now?" AJ whispered in Chia's ear..
"Just how happy I am, and how I used to look up to the stars and say a prayer that one of the shooting stars would fall to earth and bring a man who was filled with the mystery, firey passion and beauty that a shooting star has, and that it would deliver that man to me" Chia shivered and AJ pulled her closer.
"So has the shooting star delivered him yet?" AJ asked.
Chia turned around and looked up into AJ's eyes, she traced the outline of his face and kissed his eyelids...she moved down to his nose and finally to his mouth, and when AJ felt her wanting lips on his he knew her answer and he was happy. The 2 lovers stayed wrapped in each other's arms and fell asleep, but were awoken an hour later by the captain.
"Excuse me sir.." The captain was embarassed about intruding on such a tender scene but the boat had arrived back in Orlando and he was leaving.
AJ thanked the captain and then whispered to a half awake Chia.."baby
we are
home.." Chia murmered and snuggled in closer to AJ with her red hair
spilling onto AJ's chest. AJ kissed her neck and was soon fast asleep
as the
night air nipped at them and the waves rocked them back to sleep on the
ship's deck.
