An hour later Kristy emerged from her room freshly showered, and in black track pants, and a Nike baby tee. Brian bounced down the hall, and grabbed her waist.
"Sound Check and rehersal" he told her pleasently "Donna made me come get you, cause she didn't want Nick to get distracted" Being in a much better mood now, Kristy swatted Brian's arm.
"I swear you're dreamin' boy. Nothing is happening between me and Nick" Kristy said in a not so convincing voice. Brian raised an eyebrow.
"That's confidence for ya" he teased. "Let's head for the limo"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kristy sang accapella into the mike. "It's a little fuzzy Damon, can you fix that?" Damon fiddled with the knobs, then gave a thumbs up. The guitarchords filled the background, but she ignored them, and sang again. "Much better!" she thanked him, and ran backstage. They were doing a run through of the concert, to get her used to the stage, etc.
A short while later Kristy strutted on stage, and modelled for the guys who were sitting in the front row. She was wearing a silver bandeau top, with black and silver flares and black platforms.
"Whatcha think?" She called into the mike, as the band warmed up in the background. AJ whistled, and Kevin and Brian applauded. Howie smiled appreciativly.
"Nice outfit" he called with a grin. Nick just kind of stared.
"Tell me how I sound after my set, K?" Kristy called. She went backstage, and prepared. The crew, management, and guys filled the first four rows to watch the new opening act that was so highly praised by the boys. The lights dimmed, and everyone watched in anticipation. A pyro went off with a boom, just as the base line started. The music pulsed through the arena, and Kristy was launched into the air from below the stage. "Hey Belgium!" She yelled as the music continued loudly. "Mmmm, ooooh. Tonight in the Dark, boy" she sang loudly, and danced to a fantastically choreographed routine.

Nick's Point of View
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I watched Kristy intently. She was on her third song, and she was backflippin' and singing and dancing like crazy. And her outfit was amazing. I especially liked the top. I could see everyone was stunned by her amazing performence. When she finished, Donna stood up and applauded.
"That't the first opening act I've ever seen that might actually be better than the main" she teased, and Kristy laughed. She was really great. Kristy hopped off the stage, and stood infront of us.
"What did you think?" she asked excitedly. Brian grinned.
"You were fantastic"
"Damn girl, I like the outfit, and I like the performence" AJ laughed, and Denise punched him in the shoulder.
"You were fabulous honey" she told Kristy with a hug. Kristy looked at me expectantly, and I smiled nervously.
"Like Denise said, you were fabulous" she hugged me.
"Thanks" she whisperd into my ear "That means alot" The closeness wa too much, and everything around us slowly disappeared. She looked straight into my eyes and smiled shyly.
"Kris?" Kevin's voice relucantly brought us back to reality. I glared at him, but he shrugged hopelessly.
"Time to go for supper" Kev told us, pointing at his watch. I groaned. It was 5:30. Kristy changed into her clothes, and we headed to the hotel restaurant.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(still nicks pov) We all went back to the arena with Kristy, to cheer her on. As she walked with us through the path cleared by security, the crowd screamed. She laughed, and made Kevin bend down. She climbed onto Kev's shoulders, and blew kisses around. I laughed, and picked up her backpack. Someone grabbed my sweatshirt sleeve, and tugged me over to them. It was a tall muscular guy (not matt).
"Can you tell me her name?" the guy shouted over the commotion.
"Kristy! Kristy Royal" I shouted.
"Is she performing tonight?" he asked. I nodded. "Tell her Alec thinks she's sexy" he shouted, and I laughed.
"Will do" I smiled, and headed towards the stage door. Once inside I grabbed Kristy's hand. "I'm supposed to tell you Alec think's your sexy" I laughed.
"Who's Alec?" she asked, confused. I pointed to the guy, and watched, shocked, as she ran back outside, and kissed him. I shook my head.
"You are positivly psycho" I grinned, and she smiled.
"I know" she said cockily, and disapeared into the make room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kristy stared into the mirror, and grinned, satisfied. Becki had done a positivly magnificent job, and they had perfected her hair, makeup and outfit. She swung open the dressing room door, and was greeted by a crowd of smiling faces. Kevin grinned and shouted
"Backstreet what time is it?"
"It's time for Kristy to work ya'll" they all chorused.
"What kinda work?"
"DAMN HARD WORK" they shouted. They squished around her in a group hug, and someone hooked on her headset.
"Kick some ass girl" AJ smiled, and hugged her tightly. She positioned herself under the risers, and heard the pyro's go off. "It's time" she thought as she was rocketed into the air.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Nick squirmed around in his chair, desperately trying to see the moniter that was broadcasting Kristy's performence backstage. The others were all done, and now only he was left.
"Nick!" Becki shouted, pissed off. "If you don't stop moving you'll get foundation in your hair!"
Realizing his friends predicament, Brian swivled the tv around, and Nick settled down, watching Kristy on the tv. |
