As they were driving down the freeway, Stacie was staring out the window thinking about how much she wanted to go to her favorite band's concert next week with her bud Chloe. She'd wanted to see them for so long and they'd finally scheduled a concert next week on her birthday. "STACIE!" Stacie jerked her head up.

"Huh?" Chloe had been trying to get her attention for the last five minutes. "I said, the radio station is going to be giving away front row tickets and backstage passes to the concert next week. I thought we might wanna try and win them. Think what a GREAT birthday present that'd be." Chloe said smiling. They'd been friends since the first day of first grade and had always gone through so much together. They'd had all their birthday parties together, loved the same groups and shared the same life experiences at the same time. They felt like sisters and could always count on one another to help the other person out. "WOW, are you serious? That would be sooo awesome. Do you really think we could win?" She asked skeptically. Chloe had an amazingly optimistic attitude.

"Of course silly. And when we go, you'll be standing there, Nick Carter will come up to take your hand and say, 'Do you have a breath mint?'" Chloe started giggling and Stacie frowned and turned back to the window. Then she couldn't help but laugh.

"Yeah he'll do that and Kevy-Kev will come up to you, take your hand, look into your eyes, and say, 'Oh I'm sorry. I thought you were someone else.'" Stacie said as they got off at their exit.

Chloe laughed sarcastically and said, "Don't be talkin bout Kevin now, I don't wanna hostile on you." As she stopped at a red light. They gave each other a hard time all the time about liking people that were so famous. They'd been sitting at the light for about 30 seconds when Chloe looked in her rear view mirror and shrieked as a big silver and blue bus had not slowed down enough and hit the rear of Chloe's new big beautiful Toyota 4Runner she'd gotten for her birthday. "Oh HELL no." Chloe said getting out. Stacie got out after her. When Chloe saw the damage she moaned. "Oh my gosh. My father's gonna kill me." She crouched down to look at it and then looked at the bus. "These people are gonna pay."

"Chloe girl CHILL. It'll be okay. We'll get insurance info and stuff and everything will be fine." Stacie looked at the bus. "Hey, You know whose bus this looks like? The Backstreet Boys." Chloe looked at her.

"Good then I know they can afford to fix my car. Heck they can buy me a new one!" Stacie laughed and then she saw the doors open. When she saw who got off it took her breath away.

"Oh my god. I am so sorry guys." Said Nick Carter as he stepped off the bus. "I was just practicing driving the bus and I guess I didn't slow down enough. I am so sorry." During Nick's profession of sorrow, Stacie was standing there not fully believing her eyes and Chloe looked like she was gonna faint. "Nick, Nick calm down." said another voice on the bus. Both girls watched in shock as first AJ, then Howie, Brian, and Kevin got off the bus. Stacie swore she could hear Chloe's jaw hit the ground as she caught sight of Kevy-Kev in a tight white tank top. "We're really sorry about this." Kevin said as he walked over to where Chloe was still crouched beside the car.

"I-I-It's okay." Chloe managed to stutter out. "I know it was an accident."

"Well that's the last time you drive the bus Nick." Said Brian. "Second time and you have an accident." Brian clicked his tongue. Nick just glared and mumbled. Kevin was crouched beside the car with Chloe. "Hi I'm Kevin." He said holding his hand out.

"I know, I'm Chloe." She said smiling as she shook his hand. Kevin examined the damage a little. "Well Chloe we'll pay for the damage and everything." While Kevin and Chloe discussed insurance and such, Stacie was having a hard time controlling herself as she talked to the other members of the BSB. "Hi I'm Brian. The dude here with the wild hair is AJ, that's Howie there, Kevin over there by your friend, and you've already met Nicky-boy here." Said Brian pointing to each guy in turn. "But I'm sure you already knew that." He added with a slight grin. Stacie had to smile a little.

"Yeah I kind of recognized you. I'm Stacie." She said.

"Ah so I guessed right. You are a fan." Brian said.

"Oh gee, how'd ya know?" Stacie said with a small laugh.

"Hmm, I think it was the way you and your friend were gawking when we got off the bus." He said smiling at her. Stacie blushed a little. "Hey guys,' said Kevin as he walked over. "We have a slight problem. Thanks to Nick's wonderful driving these lovely ladies can't drive the car. It's gonna have to be towed to a shop and fixed. But they have no other way to get home. What do you propose we do?"

Chloe stared at Stacie as the guys talked about what to do. 'Oh my gosh.' Chloe mouthed to Stacie. 'I know. I can't believe this.' Stacie answered back and turned her attention back to the boys. "So how long has she had her 4Runner?" Nick asked looking at what he'd done.

"Oh about three weeks ago as a graduation present. But she's only been able to drive it about one week." Nick made a wincing face.

"Oh my gosh! I would kill me!" he said putting his hands over his eyes and looking up. Stacie laughed. 'He is so cute. I cannot believe I'm standing here!' she thought to herself. "Well I guess I can call a tow truck now." Chloe said walking over to the group.

"Here I'll come with you and we can get your registration and stuff. Then we'll take y'all where you were going." Kevin said following her. She blushed pink and smiled as Kevin stood by the driver's side door while she phoned the wrecker service. Luckily her dad had made her put it on speed dial. "It'll be here in a few." She said looking up at Kevin. He smiled.

"So I guess this sucks since you've only had this a couple of weeks huh?" he asked.

"Well yea but it's not everyday you get hit by a bus toting five NICE young men on their tour either so..." Chloe said getting out of the car and locking it.

"That's true I didn't think about that. And it's not everyday we let Nick drive the bus and run into people either so I guess we're even." He said looking at the damage to her vehicle once more.

"Well not exactly the bus is spotless." Chloe pointed out.

Kevin looked at the bus and laughed. "Ha! Yea I guess your right." Chloe looked at her watch.

"Oh shoot! We're gonna be late!"

Stacie looked at her watch. "Wow we've been standing here for 20 minutes where's the tow truck?" At that moment the truck pulled up and quickly got the car loaded up. After it left Chloe and Stacie had about 10 minutes to get where they needed to be. "So," asked Brian, "Where do you need a lift to?"

"Actually, and this is kind of funny, we were on our way to get tickets to the concert. I kinda got lucky getting some and they were gonna be Stacie's birthday present."

"Oh my gosh! Really? So we weren't running errands for your mom?" Stacie asked.

"Nope we were going to get your present." They all thought this was quite funny.

"Well I guess we know where to go then huh?" Brian laughed. Stacie, Chloe, and the five Backstreet Boys got on the bus and headed to the arena box office.
