Nick and Tara left the hotel at 11:30 the next morning, because you had to check out before noon time. They drove back to the beach house to bring back their stuff from the previous night. BJ was awake, watching MTV for the countdown of videos.
"Hey you guys! how was the prom??" BJ asked.
"It was great!!" Tara said smiling. BJ smiled back at her and Nick.
"Oh hey Nick, Lou called for you earlier this morning, I told him you weren't back yet. He tried calling your cell number, but he said it wasnt working. I told him you'd call him back" BJ reported.
"oh ok, great.. thanks" Nick said. He gave Tara a kiss. "I'll be back" He took off into Taras room to go and use her phone.
Tara took a seat on the couch beside BJ and started to watch the MTV. N SYNC's video for God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On you was finishing up.
"and the number one video of the week is, I'll Never Break your Heart by the Backstreet Boys!! Even though this video has already been released, we have had soo many requests for this video lately which made it number one! Thank goodness the Backstreet Boys are Back!" the VJ said. The video started. Tara smiled at the TV.
"Ooh my fav group!" Tara said. BJ started laughing.
"I think Brians really hot.. too bad hes with Leigh Anne" BJ admitted.
"BJ! i never knew you liked Frick" Tara said.
"Yeah, I do.. hes cute!" She said. Near the end of the video, Nick came out of her room and sat back down with them.
"What did Lou want?" Tara asked.
"He wanted to tell me that we're going to make a video, for our third album, and that I get to choose a lucky lady to be in it.." Nick said, grinning at Tara. "I wonder who I should ask". Tara got all excited and sat straight up. Nick let out a little laugh. He knew that she knew he was going to ask her, he just loved seeing how excited she got, and played it out.
"I like brown haired girls... so shes gotta have brown hair. Shorter than me is good too... and shes gotta be cute" Nick said.
"Pick me!!!" Tara said, bursting out of excitement.
"really? you want to be in the video?" Nick asked calmly, knowing her answer.
"Well duh!! of course!" Tara said, pinching his cheek.
"Tara hehehe you knew all along I was going to ask you! Of course I want you in it with me! Theres no one else Id rather be with!" Nick kissed Taras cheek.
"You guys are soo sappy" BJ said. Tara and Nick stuck their tongues out at her.
The Boys had only a few days left in Florida before they had to venture off to Canada, where they start their Canadian tour in Vancouver, BC, and hit each province from coast to coast. The boys packed busily for their tour and got ready for the new line up of songs and practised the choreography.
"So what bus is the one we're on?" the beautiful girl in the sunglasses said. The girl was Karine.
"Baby! I was starting to wonder if you changed your mind about coming!" AJ said, greeting her with a hug and a kiss.
"Of course Im coming! Remember, Im going to take you all around town when we get to Montreal!" Karine said "and maybe take you to go see the Sweet Boys!"
"Who are they?" AJ asked curiously.
"They're this band in Montreal that look like you guys, and they sing and dance to your songs" Karine replied. "Patrick looks just like you"
"Patrick is the AJ of the group?" AJ asked.
"Yeah, and looks JUST LIKE YOU!" Karine said, giving him another kiss.
"We're on bus two" AJ said, picking up Karines luggage. "Man you brought lots, your just like me!" He said with a laugh.
"Will you be sharing a bunk with me??" He grinned at Karine.
"I think the others might feel uncomfortable with that, Alex... I think It'd be a good idea if we had separate bunks for the bus. But you know, when we get to the hotel, thats a different story" she replied. AJ grinned at her.
"Are all of us going to fit one that one bus?!?" The blonde haired girl said to the short dark haired girl.
"Mandy, we're all cramming onto that bus! If we dont fit, we'll just have to throw some of your hair supplies out of the window" Danay said to Mandy.
Danay and Mandy are two of the members of the opening band, Innosense. Innosense was made up of Danay, 24, Amanda, 18, Mandy, 19, Nikki, 18, and Veronica, 16.
"Im soo excited you guys! I cant believe we're opening for the Backstreet Boys!" Nikki said excited.
"Yeah I know! This is a really great opportunity!" Amanda said "plus you know, the guys are really cute too! We'll be hanging out with them alot".
"hehe you have a good point there! Good thing I brought lots of make up" Mandy said, flinging back a strand of her blonde hair.
Kevin came off bus 2 and saw the five girls standing there.
"Can I help you?" Kevin asked ever so politely.
"We're looking for our bus.. We're the band, Innosense" Danay replied. Kevin looked her up and down.
"Oh your the band? You're on bus 3" He said. The girls started to pick up some of their luggage, since there was alot.
"Let me help you with that.." Kevin said, being a gentleman, and picked up a few heavy bags.
"Thanks" Danay said, giving Kevin a smile.
After all the luggage was in the girls bus, they stood outside to meet the rest of the band. Nick and Tara arrived a little late, because Nicks mother wanted them to stay for a little lunch before they left.
Nick and Tara threw their stuff onto the bus, Tara having the best bunk, Nick having the bunk above her. This time, just Brian and Leigh Anne were sharing the bus with them.
Karine entered Bus 1, which was Tara's bus, to talk to Tara for a little bit while everyone else was still settling into their buses.
"Nick man, lets go down the street to get a drink" AJ suggested, since it was a hot day in Florida. "we have a long drive ahead of us, you know" He added.
Nick and AJ stepped off the bus and went down the street to the store. Nick bought tons of candy, to be sure that he had enough to last him until they arrived in Canada a long time later. Usually they would fly to Canada, but since they had a few days, they decided a road trip might be a little more fun, and they had stops for interviews along the way anyways.
"Hey.. look" Amanda nudged Mandy in the shoulder.
"What?!?!" Mandy said kind of annoyed. Amanda pointed down the street.
"Hey! Isnt that Nick and AJ?" she asked, looking far down.
"Yup" Amanda replied "AJ's looking ever so fine today"
"talk about fine! Look at Nick, now there is a sexy guy" Mandy said smiling to herself.
"oooh I see someone has a crush?" Amanda suggested, grinning at Mandy.
"Maybe, we do have alot in common. I've done my research. All I have to do now, is go out and get him" Mandy said "and that will be easy".
"Doesnt he have a girlfriend?" Amanda asked.
"Yeah, she was on TV with him once before.. but that'll be easy.. shes not here. I'll get his mind off of missing her" Mandy replied.
Tara came off the bus. Mandy's grin faded.
"Hunny, look what I got!" Nick said all excited, showing Tara all the $40 of candy he bought.
"hey! are you gonna share that?" Tara asked grinning, giving him a kiss.
"of course!" Nick said happily, stashing the bag of candy in his backpack, then wrapping his arms around Tara's waist, pulling her close to him.
Karine came off the bus and gave AJ a kiss.
"whos that?" Amanda asked Mandy quietly.
"Dont know.. but whoever it is, its AJ's girlfriend"
Amanda eyed Karine and AJ, watching them kiss and hug infront of everyone.
"I'll make you a deal" Amanda whispered over to Mandy.
"what?" Mandy asked whispering.
"I'll help you get Nick, if you'll help me get AJ" Amanda whispered back.
"Deal" Mandy said, giving Amanda a high five.
