~~~okay fast forward three months to about the middle of the first month of the tour. kevin and daisy have started seriously dating(lol happy daze?) as well as emma and nick. all three girls (amanda, daisy, and emma) have come on tour with the guys and have been given jobs. simple jobs like helping the guys prepare before a show, reminding the guys of interviews...stuff like that~~~
"its mine!" brian yelled at nick grabbing the baseball hat out of his hands.
"no, its mine!" nick yelled grabbing the hat back.
"and now its mine," emma said walking between the two of them, taking the hat and going to sit in the front of the bus where amanda was on her laptop.
nick looked at brian with his mouth open,"what? its your hat and shes YOUR girlfriend..."brian said and walked to the back lounge and turned on the playstation.
nick rolled his eyes,"NOW its my hat..." he walked to the front of the bus and sat next to emma,"....hi..."
she smiled,"hi...like my hat?"
he nodded,"i think it would look better on me though." he grabbed the hat off her head and ran to his bunk.
emma rolled her eyes,"...hes how old...?"
"same as you dearie," amanda said laughing.
"which terrifies the hell out of me....anyways, how long until we stop?"
amanda checked her comp,"...about....another half hour. were stopping at a rest stop then back on the bus for another funfilled two hours..."
emma sighed dramatically,"...yay...another two hours with these five...im going to end up killing myself by the time this tour is over. wheres daze?"
"um...i think...her and kev are taking a nap."
"aw...thats so sweet. they take naps together,"emma raised her voice so nick could hear her,"i wish i could take a nap with MY boyfriend."
amanda laughed,"why cant you?"
"youve never seen how nick sleeps have you?" amanda shook her head. "well its not fun. he sleeps like an eggbeater, rolling over ever 10 minutes and he kicks. at least he did the time we fell asleep next to each other...the boy gave me a bruise on my leg."
"that was an accident! i forgot you were there!" he yelled back.
"thank you nick, i love you too..."she turned back to amanda,"he forgot i was there...isnt that sweet?"
amanda laughed,"dont feel bad, aj rolled over once and hit me in the face...i had a black eye for like a week."
"...this is why i will NEVER share a bed with any of these boys...i AM getting my own room when we get to the hotel right?" emma asked.
she smiled and closed her comp,"...nope."
emma threw her own mini tantrum and put her head down on the table,"i HAVE to share a room with nick?"
"yeah but there are two beds so you dont have to worry about him kicking you."
nick came back and put his arm around emma,"you dont wanna share a room with me?"
"hmm...well...."
"uh huh..."he started tickling her,"ill stop if you say yes..."
amanda laughed and got up to talk to aj,"yes to what?!" emma asked laughing uncontrollably.
"sharing a room with me..."
"okay! yes! ill share with you!"
he smiled and wrapped his arms around her,"so em, have you been liking the tour so far?" he asked as he played with her hair.
"yeah but arent you burnt out? i mean a show almost every night...."
he sighed and rested his chin on the top of her head,"its tiring but its what i love so..."
"okay...what i dont understand is why you guys need so much food ..."daisy said as she looked at the long table set up in the dressing room covered with food.
"hey...we work hard...we deserve it..." brian said as they all helped themselves.
nick sat down on the couch next to emma who was flipping through the channels on the tv,"you want something to eat tink?" he had given her that nickname after she had started calling him peter pan when she read an article where they had called him that.
she shook her head and lay back on the couch resting her head on his lap. "you okay?" he asked looking down at her.
she nodded,"just a little tired....not used to this yet i guess..."
"i promise it will get better," he said and kissed her on the forehead. "i know you said you werent hungry but i got strawberries...."
"oooh...let me have one..." she said holding up her hand.
he shook his head,"just open your mouth and close your eyes..." she did as he said. he dropped and strawberry in her mouth and kissed her.
she smiled and opened her eyes,"mmm...they taste better that way."
amanda walked into the room followed by another girl,"hey guys...this is the girl who won the contest to meet you....guys, this is britney...britney these are the guys."
britney smiled,"hi...nice to meet you." she walked over to where nick and emma were on the couch,"mind if i sit down?" before nick could reply she wiggled herself in the narrow space between nick and the armrest. "hi," she said and smiled what emma assumed was her attempt of a sexy smile.
nick smiled,"hi...nice meeting you britney, im nick and this is my girlfriend emma."
she gave emma a fake smile,"...hi..."
emma rolled her eyes and sat up,"...hi."
she turned her attention back to nick, giggling and flirting horribly. nick was totally unaware that she was flirting, he was just loving the fact that a girl was paying attention to him and only him. the more attention nick paid to britney the more upset emma became even though she knew she had no reason to.
kevin checked his watch,"hey guys, we should head back to the hotel now."
they all nodded and got ready to leave,"hey britney...want to come hang out with us at the hotel?" nick asked.
emmas eyes widened and she walked over to amanda and daisy who were talking under their breaths to each other,"am i the only one who sees this?"
they both shook their heads,"but nick just thinks its attention," daisy said.
"and the other guys just think its cute," amanda said putting on her jacket.
"yeah so cute i want to pull her pretty 'blonde' hair,"emma mumbled and followed everyone out to the limo. once she got inside she realized britney had taken her seat next to nick. she gave amanda and daisy a look and sat next to howie.
"em...dont think about it....shes probably only 14 and nick isnt about to do anything stupid," howie whispered to her.
she nodded and put her head back and closed her eyes getting tired once again. howie shook her gently once they reached the hotel,"em were here..."
she yawned,"thanks howie." they got out of the limo and took the elevator up to aj and amandas room.
daisy and kevin decided they were going to go to bed as well as howie so brian, aj, amanda, nick, emma, and britney were all left in the room together. they had been in the room for about a half hour before emma finally had all she could take.
"guys im going to bed, i dont feel well," she said standing up.
"nite em," they all said except nick and britney.
"you want me to come with you tink?" nick asked.
"no," she said flatly and went to her room and climbed into bed.
nick shrugged and went back to watching his video. britney rolled her eyes,"about time she left."
brian raised his eyebrows,"excuse me britney did you say something?"
"not to you."
amanda put her hand on his arm and shook her head slightly,"ignore her."
"....you could do SO much better than her," britney said put her hand on his arm.
"okay thats it, ive heard enough from you...you boyfriend stealing, over dyed 'blonde' teenybopper bitch. absolutely no one talks about my friend like that," amanda said through gritted teeth.
britney rolled her eyes,"and im SO scared of you sweetheart."
amanda raised her eyebrow and looked at aj, "...did she just call me sweetheart?" "um..." said nick, trying to find a place to hide.
aj nodded. "Yeah, what are you gonna do about it SWEETHEART?" asked britney.
"...well, at least she didn't call her 'mandy'" said aj.
"and what are you gonna do if I call you mandy, MANDY?" asked britney, with a smirk.
"...she actually did it," brian mumbled.
nick stood up and got out of the way. amanda stood up, grabbed britney by the shirt and pulled her up, "we're just gonna have to find out what this little SWEETHEART can do now aren't we...?"
britney started to shake a little bit, "I'm...not scared of you..." she tried to say bravely.
"oh really," said amanda, slapping her across the face, "THAT was for emma... I COULD hit you a few more times, for let's see...calling me "sweetheart"...then calling me "mandy"...ooh I think I will hit you for that." She pushed britney up to the wall and punched the wall right next to britney's head. "damn, I missed." britney tried her best to hide her fear, but her shaking knees was a slight giveaway.
"don't kill her amanda, it might give us a bad rep," said Brian.
"I'm not nice enough to kill her... should I find out if bleach is flamable?" asked amanda, taking out her lighter.
"hey, no playing with fire...you won't let me," pouted AJ.
"that's because of what you were trying to do AJ....and you WILL NOT discuss that with ANYONE," said amanda.
"of course not," said AJ, trying not to laugh.
by now britney was in tears and shaking. amanda had some pity for her and rolled her eyes and put the lighter away. "now...listen to me VERY carefully little girlie... if you even dare try to spread some nasty rumors about my boys because of this... you better not go to sleep at night cause you might not wakeup the next morning. I'll hunt your skanky lil fake blonde ass down...and I WILL find out if bleach is flamable...do you understand or do i need to break it down for you more?" nick peaked over behind the couch where he was hiding.
"I wonder what this whole thing would do to my bad boy image," said AJ.
britney shook her head. amanda let her get by, "bubye now...it's probably past your bedtime anywayz. and do remember what I said," said amanda with a smile. britney ran for her life.
"ya think she took the threat seirously?" asked brian.
"if she doesn't, she wont' have any hair left..." said AJ. amanda took a deep breath then looked over at nick. nick slightly jumped, not intentionally. she walked over to him and grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him up. "don't kill him amanda, if you do, brian's gonna have even more lines to sing," said aj.
"...HEY!" said brian.
"now listen, you very hopelessly confused little boy, you probably don't even see why I was threatening the girl do you?" asked amanda.
nick shook his head and brian walked over to the two of them and pried nick out of amandas hands trying not to laugh,"amanda, let me talk to him..."
aj came up behind amanda and put his arms around her, subtly pinning her arms to her side,"nite you two."
they both nodded as brian pulled nick into his room,"...frack...sit down..."
nick shook his head,"what is it frick? i wanna go see if em is okay."
brian rolled his eyes,"nick...do you have ANY idea why amanda did that? or why em suddenly got sick and went to bed?"
nick shrugged,"cause she wasnt feeling well...?"
brian sighed,"...frack...i suggest you crash in my room tonight..."
nick shook his head,"...i need to check on em."
"trust me...im pretty sure she doesnt want to see you right now. just stay here and ill explain."
"um...okay..." nick said.
"make your self comfortable because this is going to be a LONG night..." brian said as he tried to explain to nick what had happened.
amanda knocked on emmas door the next morning,"em...you up?"
emma unlocked the door and went back into the bathroom to finish getting ready. "you packed? were leaving right after breakfast."
emma nodded and came out of the bathroom with her make-up bag. amanda looked up,"...whoa...did you get any sleep last night?" she asked noticing the dark circles under her eyes.
emma nodded and finished putting the rest of her stuff away,"about two hours."
"well you'll be happy to know i scared the hell out of that girl and she wont be coming near the boys any time soon," amanda said proudly.
emma laughed slightly,"thanks...im glad SOMEONE did it."
"what are friends for...did you talk to nick?"
her smiled disappeared and she shook her head,"dont really have any desire to."
"did he come to bed last night?"
emma motioned to the bed next to hers,"...sheets havent been touched so no..."
amanda sighed,"okay...well lets go get breakfast...everyone is waiting downstairs. we'll come back up and get all the bags."
they took the elevator downstairs and headed to the restaurant. they found their table and empty seat had been left next to aj for amanda and one next to nick for emma. emma went over and whispered something to howie who raised his eyebrows but moved and took the seat next to nick leaving emma the seat between brian and kevin.
nicks face dropped and he stared down at his menu. brian put his arm around emma,"...you okay baby girl?"
she nodded and rested her head on his shoulder,"just tired."
brian nodded,"well you can sleep the whole five hours on the bus...no one will bug you," he said and kissed her on the forehead.
"can i talk to you tink?" nick asked as emma was climbing into brians bunk for a nap.
"no and dont call me tink," emma said pulling the curtain.
nick stopped her,"please...?"
"no...now go away," emma said pushing him back and pulling the curtain completely closed.
nick sighed and went up to the front where amanda and howie were,"...guys...she wont even listen to me..."
"do you REALLY blame her?" amanda asked.
"but i didnt do anything!!"
"i think that was the problem..." howie said. "you didnt stop britney from flirting with you and you pretty much ignored emma just because britney was giving you attention."
nick sighed,"amanda can you scoot down so i can sit please?"
amanda raised her eyebrows and moved down,"....you really feel bad dont you? the only time you ever called me amanda was the first time we met."
nick sat down and nodded,"is there ANYTHING that i can do? flowers...candy...anything?"
"well...um...lets see...you cou..." amanda started to say but was cut off by howie.
"got it!" howie said snapping his fingers. he leaned forward and started to explain his idea to them,"...hold on...we should tell the other guys...where are they?"
"in the back watching tv, ill go get them,"amanda said getting up and going to the back lounge. she returned a minute later with the other three and daisy following her. they sat down and howie told them his idea.
"come on em, were missing the concert," daisy said as the girls sat in the dressing room.
"daze...weve seen this show how many times? we could do every move in our sleep," emma said digging through her backpack for her cd player.
"yeah but what if something entertaining actually happens?" daisy asked.
emma raised her eyebrows and amanda laughed,"i think she meant something that doesnt usually happen...like ajs pants fall down or something."
emma laughed,"THAT would be interesting...aj in his Tommy's..."
daisy laughed and pulled them both out of the dressing room. they sat the side of the stage and watched the show. the guys glanced at them and waved occassionally. howie even threw them a couple of roses.
"okay...that was pretty boring,"emma said as she stood up during kevins intro to "ill never break your heart."
"em sit down! i cant see!" daisy said and pulled her back into her seat.
"damn girl...you've only heard th..."she stopped as nick started singing brians part of the first verse,"...what is he doing?" she whispered in shock.
"apologizing," both girls whispered back.
as the guys began the chorus, nick walked over to their side of the side and looked directly emma as he sang. amanda and daisy watched emma who was obviously close to tears.
as soon as the song ended the boys ran backstage. nick stood in front in emma looking down at his feet,"im sorry em."
"its okay,"she said softly.
"...i mean i know i do alot of stupid stuff and i dont really pay attention..."nick continued, mostly to himself.
brian rolled his eyes,"frack she said its okay..."
nick looked up,"...it is...?"
she nodded and put her arms around his neck,"yes you dear sweet confused man, its okay."
he smiled and kissed her while the others looked on. brian and aj looked at each other and rolled their eyes. amanda elbowed aj,"stop it...their cute."
"guys...i hate to break this up but we have to go back on stage..."howie said.
nick pulled away from emma and kissed her on the forehead,"i love you tink."
she smiled,"love you too peter pan."
