“Hey, aren't they the same girls from the ‘Backstreet’s Back’ video clip?” Brian groaned looking over at three girls.
“Oh no, hide me!” Nick said grabbing Cassidy around the waist and putting her infront of him so he could hide behind her.
“Nick!” Cassidy couldn't help but laugh.

“Look! I bet they are the other two girls…” Nikki pointed over to where the horses were.
“I heard that they only met the boys yesterday..” Sarah gossiped.
“They must be ok for Nick and the guys to ask them personally to be extras.” The last girl Hannah added.

“Who cares!” Nikki fixed her shorter than short shirt and turned back to the other girls.
“Shall we introduce ourselves?” She asked plastering a fake smile on her face.

The three girls, who were also to ride horses as extras in the video clip, walked over to where Cassidy, Nick, Brian and Becca were talking

“Hey Brian...” Sarah smiled, gently touching his arm. Becca saw this but remained silent.
“Hi…ummm…I'm sorry...” Brian answered unsure of the girl’s name.
“It’s Sarah, but you can call me whatever you like…”
Becca and Cassidy gave each other a ‘this’ll be interesting’ look.

“Who’s your ummm…friends?” Nikki asked giving the girls the once over.
“Hi I’m Cassidy and this is Becca, are you guys riding horses as well?” Cassidy introduced.

“Hi, nice to meet you guys, I’m Hannah!” Hannah said genuinely, smiling at Becca and Cassidy.
Nikki shot Hannah a look and continued to speak, “We’re not actually riding the horses…ewww. We just sit on the back and look pretty.” She laughed briefly, although the intent in her eyes suggested she wasn't joking.

“Well that should be a challenge for ya..” Cassidy joked back.
Brian, Nick and Becca laughed, hearing Cassidy’s comment.

“What’s that suppose to mean?!” Sarah spat back, afraid of her ego being bruised infront of Brian.

“Good morning guys and dolls!” A voice belonging to the horse master Marcus, interrupted.
“I’m in charge for coordinating the horse scenes, which we’re shooting first!” Marcus added, calling Howie, Kevin and AJ over to the group.

The five guys sat down and Sarah gestured to the spare seat next to Brian, “Is this seat taken?”
“Yeah it is sorry.." He said smiling at Becca.

“Thanks Bri, that’s sweet of you,” Becca said leaning over to peck Brian’s cheek, purely for Sarah’s entertainment.

“Ok guys listen up, this is what’s gonna happen. We’ve got five horses so there’ll be one guy, and one girl to a horse. Ok these are the partners… Hannah and Howie.” Howie smiled sweetly at Hannah.

“Nikki and AJ, Cassidy and Kevin.”
“Awesome, saddle up partner!” Kevin said giving Cassidy a high five.

“Brian and Becca.” Brian reached over and squeezed Becca’s hand.
“You have to make me look good out there.” He whispered.
“I think you already look good,” Becca replied mischievously.

“Oh would you too just stop for two seconds already,” AJ mumbled from behind them.
Becca turned back and poked her tounge out at him, he grinned back playfully.

“And then Sarah, you're with Nick,” Marcus read out.

Cassidy looked at Nick curiously for his reaction.
“Great...” Nick nodded, however unemphatically.

“Good!” Cassidy said to herself, “At least he wont be enjoying himself.”

“Last point guys….we’re going for the wild horse look here, so your all riding bareback!” Marcus finished.

“Ohh man..” Cassidy and Becca moaned.
“God what your problem?” Sarah snapped at Becca.
“Have you ever ridden bareback before?” Becca inquired.
“I’m sure we’ll manage...” Nicki replied indignantly.

Becca and Cassidy grinned.
“I'm sure you will...” Cassidy replied.
“Whatever.”
Cassidy and Becca exchanged knowing glances and smiled.

“Ok well you guys go to wardrobe and I’ll meet you back here to assign horses and get you all ready to go...” Marcus directed.
