day 1(or whatever you write here except "dear diary")

my mom suggested i write this so that i have something to show my kids when i get older. brian started laughing when she said that, i dont know what his deal is. anyways...were on our way to california. were going to be shooting a couple of videos there. one of which was my idea :o> were doing 3 vids...only one of them has any girls in it so aj is horribly depressed. man...kevins pressing me to come over and sit in the meeting their having in the back of the plane so i guess...um...over and out...?

"nick has a diary~ nick has a diary~" brian sang.

nick sighed and shoved his notebook back into his backpack,"leave me alone brian. go take a nap or something."

"im not tired."

"well go bug the pilot."

"already did."

"go bug kev."

"and risk getting thrown out of the plane? uh uh."

nick pulled his blanket up over his head,"mom make him stop~~~~"

jane laughed,"brian come here. i want to show you something."

"okay," brian said getting up and going over to sit with jane.

nick sighed and pulled the blanket off of his head. he rested his head against the leather seat and stared out the airplane window at the black sky.

"hey howie."

"yeah nicky?"

nick made a face. he wished to god howie would stop calling him that but he had a feeling he would always be nicky to him,"what time is it?"

howie glanced at his watch,"10:30."

nick raised an eyebrow,"its 10 in the morning and its this dark outside?"

"oh sorry. my watch is still eight hours ahead. its 2:30."

nick sighed,"thanks."

howie glanced over the back of his seat at nick,"hey, if you dont feel good why dont you try and sleep it off. ill make sure no one," he coughed slightly and mumbled,"aj and brian...dont bother you."

nick managed to smile,"thanks howie. i owe you."

howie nodded and glanced up as aj came down the aisle towards them,"BIG time."

"nicky? nicky wake up."

"go away," nick mumbled.

"mom he wont wake up," aaron called to his mom.

"shake him a little harder."

instead of shaking him, aaron punched his arm,"come on. get up. plane landed."

"jeezus aaron!"

"nickolas gene carter."

nick sighed and sat up,"sorry mom. aaron you didnt have to hit me so hard."

aaron shrugged and put his backpack on. "you wouldnt wake up," he said simply and walked off the plane.

nick glared silently at his brother and jane gave him a look,"behave yourself. we'll meet you in the terminal."

nick looked around and realized he was the only one left on the plane. he stood up and stretched, grabbed his backpack put it on, as well as his baseball hat and headed out off the plane.

"its about time," marissa mumbled.

aj rolled his eyes,"leave him alone."

marissa raised an eyebrow,"no. weve been standing here for 10 minutes because HE was too lazy to wake up."

"hey i have an idea," aj snapped. "next time we fly, you sit next to him, tell him he cant sleep the whole trip and see what happens."

marissa rolled her eyes,"dont get pissy with me alex."

"dont call me alex. your not my mother," aj mumbled before walking over to nick. "hey frack."

nick looked up,"hey." he noticed marissa walking off with her mother,"whats wrong with her?"

aj rolled his eyes,"who knows. come on."

the five guys, aaron, jane, and denise followed donna and marissa out to the limos. the mothers and marissa all got in one and the guys got in the other.

"this is so weird...." brian said looking out the window as they headed to the hotel.

"what is?" kevin asked.

"this. i mean, just a few hours ago we couldnt even walk into a store without being mobbed. now look, we just walked through lax, one of the biggest airports, without a single person coming up to us."

the guys laughed and kevin said,"your right. we could probably go to disneyland without even being approached."

"were going to disneyland?" aaron asked hopefully.

nick laughed and shook his head,"sorry airboy."

"why not?"

"cause we have work."

"please~~"

"ask mom."

"but--"

"ask mom."

aaron pouted and folded his arms. brian laughed,"hey kev, if we have a day off can we go to disneyland?"

kevin shrugged,"if denise say we have ANY free days...but its up to denise."

aaron looked at aj,"please get aunt denise to say yes."

aj laughed,"can you do that pouty puppydog look again?"

aaron did the look and aj smiled,"show my mom that face and we'll go to disney."

aaron smiled proudly and nick rolled his eyes. howie laughed,"you guys were here."

"hey, watch this," brian said. he got out of the limo and approached an elderly couple that was walking into the hotel. "hi, my name is brian littrell and im in the group the backstreet boys."

the woman smiled and touched his shoulder lightly,"thats nice dear."

brian smiled and went back to the limo,"how much do i lo--"

"omg!! your brian!!"

brians eyes widened and he turned around as two girls about 13 years old came running over to him,"omg!! can we have your autograph?!"

brian who was slightly stunned signed they scraps of paper. the two girls shrieked yet again and ran off to their parents.

the other guys laughed and got out of the limo. nick put his arm around brian laughing,"come on frick."

"man...i thought...."

nick nodded,"i guess a few people out here DO recognize us."

brian nodded, still numbed by shock. they checked into the hotel and nick went up to his room. he sat on the bed and pulled his notebook back out.

okay, something is up with aj and marissa. their acting really weird around each other. like they cant stand being next to each other. then at other times their all lovey dovey so its weird. anyways, were in cali now. we just checked into the hotel and kev says we have pretty much all afternoon off. we just have to meet with the director later but that wont be until dinner time. so while i have this opportunity in wonderful sunny southern cali....im going to take a nap.
