That's the way I like it



“Hey Nadine! It’s nice to see you again!” Howie gave the pretty brunette a tight hug.
“Hey D...” Nadine smiled brightly.
“Hey Brian...” Gina put an arm around his shoulders. Becca was a little taken back by this and looked at Brian questionably. Brian grinned.
“Becca, this is my dance partner Gina...Gina, this is my beautiful girlfriend Becca...” He introduced them.
Becca felt a little silly about getting jelous and smiled warmly at Gina.

“Ok guys can we start now?” Denise asked from the huge stage.
“Yeah sure...” the guys and dancers agreed.
“Umm...don’t worry about flying in..we’ll just go straight into larger that life ok?” Denise said walking off the stage and coming and sitting next to Becca, Cassidy and Kirstie who were seated in the third row.

“So these are the dancers?” Kirstie asked pointing to the 5 girls and 5 guys on the stage.
“Yeah...I’m not sure about the guys...they’re all new...but with the girls you’ve got Nadine, Gina, Rhiannon, Angie and umm...Aimee..” Denise pointed to each fit looking girl standing on the stage.
“Cool...” Becca nodded.
“Umm...where’s this...Amber?” Cassidy asked casually.
Denise slapped her forehead.
“Oh! I completely forgot...Amber hurt her back and can’t travel, so we’ve got a new wardrobe girl...umm...Kristina..” Denise informed them looking in her clipboard.
Cassidy sighed a little, leaning aback against her chair.
“She’s not even coming..” She smiled to herself.

“Here she comes now...Kristina!” Denise called a pretty girl with reddy brown hair over to where they were all siting.
“Hi Denise! Call me Krissy..” Kristina smiled taking a east next to Cassidy.
“Hi...” Cassidy smiled warmly.
“Krissy this is Becca, Cassidy and Kirstie...” Denise introduced.
“Nick to meet you....umm...Denise if it isn’t too much trouble I’d like the boys to perform ‘That’s the way I like it’ in costume...I just wanna make a slight adjustment..” Krissy asked.
“Yeah sure...they’re almost finished this song now...” Denise got up and walked over to the front of the stage as the boys finished Larger than Life.

“Guys, can we do “that’s the way I like it” in costume, Krissy wants to make a few adjustments..” Denise called.
“Umm...yeah of course...but...who’s Krissy??” Kevin asked confused.
“Yeah I forgot to tell you before...Amber has had some back trouble and won’t be traveling for while, so Kristina is going to be your wardrobe mistress for this tour...” Denise said.
“Cool...bummer about Amber though...she was cute..” AJ laughed.
Howie pushed AJ over, who now lay flat on the floor laughing.
“Yeah...bummer..” Nick smiled relieved.
“Ok so quickly get changed and we’ll run through ‘that’s the way I like it’..” Denise shook her head a the boys quickly disappeared to get changed.


“Ok...we’re ready...Nadine, you know what to do??” Krissy asked a the boys and the dancers emerged wearing various white clothing with reflectors and all sorts of funky stuff.
“Ooo cool!” Cassidy remarked.
“I like..” Becca nodded grinning.
“Ok here we go..” Denise gave the band their cue to start and the boys and the dancers froze in position as the opening chords for ‘That’s the way I like it’ came blaring out.

(AN: For those poops who haven’t seen a millennium show...or the PPV... “That’s the way I like it” is one of the most “Involved” dances...there’s kinda like a boy’s VS girls thing going on...its very sexy..and very cool *winks*)

Nick took off his jacket as Gina stood in front of him sexily swaying to the beat.

“Somebody told me that you’re not my kind....so have I lost my mind?”

Gina bent over in front of Nick and slowly pulled herself up, while Nick was shakin’ it for all he was worth.

“Ooo...go Nicky..” Becca teased Cassidy.
“What? I’m cool with it..” Cassidy shrugged, trying to sound as casual as she could.

Gina quickly twirled back to the others and Aimee came up and ran her hands down Nick’s chest.

“You keep on doing all those things I like...you’ve got me hypnotised.”

One last pelvic thrust from Nick as Aimee grinded in front of him.

“But that’s the way I like it..”

“Still ‘So cool’ with it Cass??” Becca asked cheekily.
“Of course..” Cassidy replied through gritted teeth.
“Whatever..” Becca rolled her eyes, and turned her attention back the stage when she heard Brian’s voice.
She raised her eyebrows as she saw Brian grinding with Rhiannon.

“Ooo Mystery lady you’ve got something I like...tell me you you’re here to stay..”

Rhiannon twisted away from Brian and began to walk away until Brian, in a perfectly choreographed move pulled her back so that their bodies met on the strong beat.
They once again began to grind to the music, this time Brian grabbing the top of Rhiannon’s pants as she sexily danced in front of him.

“You’re dangerous so baby could you do me right, will you come out to play..?”

“Cause that’s the way I like it...”

And with that Rhinnon pushed Brian away and ran back to the other girls dancing in perfect sync.

“Well well....if it isn’t Ricky ‘shake your bon bon’ Littrell...” Kirstie remarked.
“That’s just good choreography..” Becca said pouting, trying to act as not jelous as she could.
“That’s just sexual chemistry...” Cassidy began before Becca gave her the evil eye and she promptly shutup.

AJ’s voice soon piped up.

You gotta listen to the groove....and you’ve gotta listen well...”

Nadine pointed to AJ, who soon began to shake his thing over to her. Grinding so that their bodies barely separated.

“All those things you do....but I like it...”

As AJ hit that last note, Nadine promptly ripped his singlet down the middle as AJ was on his knees begging for more.

All three girls raised their eyebrows in surprise.
Becca and Cassidy soon turned to Kirstie.
“What??” She laughed. “I don’t even like him.”
“Uhuh....” Becca grinned.

“That’s the way I like it” soon finished and the girls were soon clapping and cheering.
They sat back down in their chairs laughing.
“Ok they were getting into that song a little too much for my liking...” Cassidy grinned.
“I know!” Kirstie giggled.
Becca laughed. “God girl, just get with him already!”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about...” Kirstie looked back up at the guys on stage. Becca and Cassidy just shook their heads.

*An hour later*

“You guys were awesome up there..” Cassidy gushed.
“Yep, what you see is what you get!” Kevin grinned.
“Oh really, Mr Richardson!” Becca laughed.
“Sure is...” Nick pulled Cassidy closer to him. She smiled, leaning her head against his chest.
“That was great today...you’ve got a couple of hours to kill, so do you wanna go back to the hotel or...” Denise asked everybody as they waked outside the building.
AJ spied a small hairdresser across the road and grinned.
“Anyone in for a trip to the barber?”
“Yeah!! I wanna do something funky with my hair before tonight!!” Angie grinned.
“Yeah I’m in!” Aimee smiled.
“Ok well I’ll get Mavis to pick you up in a few hours..” Denise instructed.
“Yes mom...” AJ grinned.
“I want you to have at least some hair when you’re done Alex..” Denise warned.
“Yeah yeah....” AJ laughed as they all crossed the road except for Krissy, Rhiannon and Gina.
“Aren’t you coming?” Aimee called back.
“Nah I’m gonna go back to the he hotel and have a long shower..” Rhiannon waved as the three girls got into a car with Denise.

Once everyone got inside the hairdressers, it was all a matter of deciding exactly what they were going to get done.

“I’m cool...I’ll just watch...” Becca laughed, placing a protective hand over her beautiful chocolate hair.
“Yeah...same here...” Brian, Cassidy, Kirstie, Kevin and Howie nodded.
“Wimps!” AJ called from his seat at the far end of the mirrored bench.
“Well what are you going to get?” Angie asked Nadine excitedly.
“Hmm...I’m thinking red streaks?” She grinned.
“Awesome!” Angie nodded.

“What would you like today sir?” The hairdresser asked AJ in her thick European accent.
“Yeah...what are you getting Bone??” Nick asked and everyone waited with bated breath to see what AJ would come up with.
“Hmm....” AJ looked at himself thoughtfully in the mirror.

“Frost my tips..” He grinned and everyone laughed.
“Omigod...you’re such a dork AJ...” Cassidy rolled her eyes. She looked at Nick, who was sitting in the chair next to AJ.
“And just what do you think YOU’RE doing Mr Carter??” She looked at Nick amused.
“I dunno....what do you think?” He looked at her in the mirror.
“Hmm....” Cassidy walked up behind him and ran her hands through his hair.

(CN: Ok...well in That’s what she said...Nick still has his old haircut...and has had from the beginning ok?? E.G “IWITW” Hair....Not “Grammy” Hair....comprende?)

“Well??” Nick asked laughing.

“This has got to go....I think you should go short, spiky, sexy...” Cassidy nodded grinning at Nick. “Yahoo...I could see that...” The hairdresser nodded.
“You think??” Nick looked a little scared.
“It’s completely up to you....I was just saying what I though would be...I dunno...sexy..” Cassidy blushed slightly.
Nick looked at his hair in the mirror again worriedly.
“God Nick! What are you so scared about!!” Kirstie laughed.
“Shutup! I’ve had this haircut since I was 10....I’m a little insecure ok??” Nick pouted.
“Well, isn’t that even more of a reason for change??” Becca suggested.
Nick thought about that for a second. He then looked at Cassidy who gave him the tiniest smile.
“Let’s do it...” He nodded and everyone cheered making Nick laugh.
“I never though you’d do it bro..” Kevin put a hand on his shoulder.
“Bye bye goldilocks...” AJ sang.
“Shush guys! He’ll change his mind!” Howie laughed.

*An hour and a half later*

“Oh this is hot!!” Cassidy ran her hand through Nick’s new ‘do’...as she sat on his lap.
“You think..?” Nick looked in the mirror.
“Oh definitely...” Kirstie giggled, standing behind Nick.
“You’re gonna have to lock this boy up, cause those fans are gonna be going wild!” Aimee laughed.

“Almost done..?” AJ asked the hairdresser.
“Five minute sir....then we wash eh?” She said in her Austrian accent.
“Coolios...” AJ replied.

AJ was soon running his hands through her tips.
“Very cool...” Kirstie smiled. Becca and Cassidy looked at each other and laughed.
“What??” AJ looked at them puzzled.
“Nothing...we weren’t laughing at you AJ...” Cassidy reassured him.
Kirstie turned to Cassidy suspiciously, who in turn pulled an innocent face.

“I love your curly ends...” Becca turned to Brian, running her hand through his hair.
“I love you...” Brian grinned kissing the tip of her nose.
“Well I think we’re done...girls?” Kevin turned to Nadine, Aimee and Angie.
“Yep we’re ready!” All three girls nodded.
“Ok well Mavis is here...let’s go..” Howie said, opening the door.
