After the show there was a big party at the Conservatory of Music for all the musicians and guests. Allie squealed when she saw Elton John and she almost passed out when Steven Tyler of Aerosmith touched her waist to squeeze by her. Howie was watching her with an amused expression, he loved the way her face lit up when a star came over and talked to her and he almost peed his pants when Nick Cage came over and started to talk to he and Allie and she turned white and started to stutter. Allie wasn't afraid or embarrassed to show her excitement and he found that refreshing.

Chia and AJ were dancing when Adam Horowitz from the Beastie Boys came over and shook hands with AJ. "Adam this is my girlfriend Chia, Chia this Adam."
"Vvvvvvery nice to mmmmmeet you" Chia stuttured. "I have all your albums and I have seen you in concert 5 times..."
Adam and AJ laughed as People magazine came over and asked the 3 for a picture. Chia stood between the man she loved, and the man she admired. He hugged Chia and walked off.
"AJ have I told you this is the coolest moment of my life?" Chia beamed at AJ. AJ grinned and they went back on the dance floor.

Nick and Lexi were sitting at the table when Lex saw Ricky Martin.."Nick excuse me I have to go see him." Lexi ran over and hugged Ricky.
"Damn I have to have a talk with her, this is not working and I have to make it right." Nick thought to himself. He saw Howie and Allie talking to Foxy Brown and he went over and asked Allie to dance.
"Are you having a good time Nick?" Allie asked.
"I am, but honestly it gets old fast, they are all the same old people I see at every event, stick around for a while and you will see what I mean."
"I can't imagine getting sick of all this, I mean I am in the same room as Steven Tyler, and I talked to Nicholas Cage, I saw Face Off like a million times just because of him.." Allie grinned.
"Red can I ask you a question?"
"What's up?"
"How do you know Drew from 98*?"
"Oh I forgot to tell you, they are my new clients, I met with them today, they are the nicest guys."
"Does Howie know?"
‘No, why?"
"Allie let me tell you something, the press is brutal, they take something small and turn it into a national story just to sell their damn papers, you are Howie's girlfriend, when the press finds out you are also working for 98* they will be relentless trying to get some dirt on you..I know.."
"Nick I can handle it, I mean come on, what the hell could they possibly use against me, I live and work in Orlando, you guys are on tour and so are my clients...besides they have not seen a temper until they have messed with this redhead." Allie grinned.
~~**~~
Chia and AJ decided to call it a night and get a good night's sleep, they said goodbye to everyone and left.
~~**~~
Lex had spent the majority of the party with Ricky and her old friends, she realized how much she missed them and when Ricky asked her to start touring with them, she had a hard time saying no.

Allie left Nick in the company of Mandy Moore and went off to find Howie. She saw him talking to Jay-Z and she motioned that she was going to the bar to get a drink, he winked and she smiled back.
She felt 2 hands on the small of her back and she turned to see Drew standing in back of her.
"Hey you, I have been looking for you guys all night, I wanted to congratulate you on your performance, I love that song, I bet it will be the new wedding song"
"That's what everyone is saying. Howie and the guys did a really good job, really stuck it to the critics who said they were bubble gum pop, but what the hell was AJ thinking wearing that shirt?" Drew laughed.
"Long story, all I know is my sister dared him to wear it and he did" Allie grinned.
"So what are you drinking?" Drew asked
"I am not really a drinker but I guess I will have a tequila and sprite"
"I am a drinker and I can't handle that drink, wow, pretty impressive" Drew winked and placed their order.
~~**~~
Howie saw Allie laughing at the bar with Drew of 98* and he felt a pang of jealousy. He walked through the crowd and over to the bar.
"Hi Baby" Howie leaned over and kissed Allie's neck.
"Hey yourself, Drew you know Howie"
"Hey Howie, great set, and congratualtions on the award." Drew shook Howie's hand.
"You too, Allie I want you to meet Mutt Lange" Howie led her away from Drew.
"You guys look cozy.." Howie whispered.
"Baby, don't pull that macho shit, he is my new client and we were just talking."
"New client? What are you talking about?" Howie asked
"Baby I have been so busy that I forgot to mention it, their manager Dave is an old friend of daddy's, when he heard I had taken over the firm he contacted me and asked me if I wanted to take them on as clients. Baby we need the clients...you understand don't you?" Allie stuck her bottom lip out and pouted.
"How can I say no to that face." Howie looked into her green eyes and
smiled.
