"Oh D, PC at 5." Kevin said as they reached Brian's room. Howie frowned at the thought of a press conferences on the day of a show. "Ok. Well, we're going to need to explain the concert plans with the girls." Howie said as they walked into Brian's room. "You look better." Breanna said to Brian as he and a very hungover Nick sat on the couch watching TV. "That's actually a cool song for MTV to play." Eve said as she sat next to Nick. Nick was in a daze singing along to the song "It’s Gotta Be You" when he noticed Breanna and Eve in the room. Howie and Kevin's faces drained of all color as they gave Nick a horrified look. Nick quickly turned the channel. "Yeah, it was a good song." Kevin said as everyone sat down in different parts of the living room. "Ok, we only have a few minutes to explain how we're gonna do this tonight." Kevin said to the girls. "Wait, where's AJ?" He asked. "Denise's room." Nick said as he got up to get something to drink. "Oh, ok." Kevin said. "Who's Denise?" Breanna asked with a curious smile. "AJ's creator." Brian joked. "Um, okay." Eve said confused. "We have plans today so we're not going to be around. We'll meet you at the concert. Try to be ready by 6:30. Our friend Q who you met last night if you can remember," Kevin said pointedly to Breanna who couldn't help but giggle. "will meet you in the lobby and escort you both to the concert. He has the tickets and backstage passes. We'll be a little late but we'll see you there, ok?" He finished. "Ok, that's fine." Breanna said. "Well, we'll leave you guys alone. We'll see you at the show." Eve said as she gave Breanna a glance. "Yeah, see you later." Breanna said as she got up. Howie and Kevin walked them to the door. "Happy Birthday!" Nick and Brian yelled. "Thanks!" Breanna yelled back. "Happy Birthday, B!" Kevin said as he wrapped his arms around Eve one last time. "Thank you." She winked at Kevin. "Ok, I'll see you in a few hours." Howie said to Breanna before leaning in to give her a kiss. "Show some tongue!" Nick yelled out. Breanna decided that it was time to shut that boy up and give him exactly what he wanted. She wrapped her arms around Howie's neck and pulled him down closer. She took control of the kiss and left Nick speechless and Howie breathless as she pulled away and waved good-bye. Brian fell off the couch laughing. "She's dope!" AJ yelled out as he entered the room. He had witnessed the entire scene. "Like I said man, a keeper." He said to a very confused Howie. "I think she sucked the life out of me." Howie smiled to the rest of the laughing room. "They're starting to get curious." Kevin noticed. "Good thing, I can't lie to her anymore." Howie said.

Breanna and Eve walked back to their hotel room and plopped on the couch. "This isn't exactly how I pictured my birthday." Breanna said sadly. "What's wrong, B? I thought you flipped for Howie the minute you saw him." Eve said. "I did. I mean I like him way more than I should! It's barely been a little over a day and, I don't know, it's just so confusing." Breanna said. "Well, don't start thinking too much. Just play it by ear and have fun. We're going to celebrate tonight!" Eve said. "I can't wait! Brian isn't going to drink though. He looked so sick this morning. I felt so bad for him. Nick didn't look so hot either. From what I've heard about him he normally shoots his mouth off whenever he gets the chance. He hardly said anything today." Breanna said. "I'll be back." Eve said as she ran upstairs. "B! Did housekeeping come today? Your bed's made but mine isn't." Eve said. "Really?" Breanna asked as she ran up stairs to see what Eve was talking about. Her bed was made and her violet dress was laid out on top of it with a note. Breanna was wondering what the note said and picked it up to read it. "It's from Howie. He picked out this dress for tonight." She said happily. "Ok, AJ kept saying you were a keeper. It looks like it's the other way around." Eve joked. "Anyway, I came up here to give you something." She told Breanna. Eve handed Breanna a small box. Inside was a beautiful silver ring with Breanna's birthstone, aquamarine. Breanna wanted to cry but the phone rang. "Hey, I just wanted to say hi." Howie said. "Hi." Breanna said close to tears. "I have to go!" Howie said quickly. "Who was that?" Eve asked. "Howie. I barely said hi and he had to go." Breanna tried to explain while she stared at her new ring that was still in the box. "I'll be right back!" Eve said as she ran down stairs to see who was at the door. "Hey Howie." Eve said as she answered the door. "Hi, she was crying. I wanted to make sure she was okay." He said as they both started walking upstairs. "Oh, I gave her a ring for her birthday and she just got a little emotional about it." Eve said. "I still wanted to see her before we left." Howie said as they got into the doorway of Breanna's room. Breanna didn't notice them watching her. She sat on her floor leaning against the back of her bed staring at her right hand which already contained a ring. It was the ring Christian had given her. She got up off the floor and went to her window. She carefully opened it and stared at the ring before sliding it off her finger and throwing it out the window. "I'll leave you two alone." Eve whispered into Howie's ear. He turned around to face Breanna who was trying to close the window. "Here, let me get that for you." Howie said laughing. Breanna's face lit up when she saw him. "Howie!" She said as she ran towards him to give him a hug. "What are you doing here?" She asked. "Making sure you're okay." He said closing the window for her. Breanna rolled her eyes. "yeah, yeah, I know. You're fine. Anyway, we forgot to mention something to you and Eve. This concert's going to be kinda weird. There'll be a lot of young kids there but it'll be fun. And, you're going in a limo. We reserved one for 6:30 but we couldn't cancel so you both are going to use it." Howie explained. "Are you serious? I haven't been in a limo since prom!" Breanna said excitedly. "Well, I gotta go. I promised the guys I wouldn't be long. I'll see you soon." Howie said glancing at his watch. "Oh, ok." Breanna said quietly as he started walking towards the door. "I forgot something..." Howie said as he stopped in the doorway and turned around. He walked back to Breanna and gave her a slow, passionate kiss before he realized that he was extremely late. "I gotta run!" He said as he ran down the stairs.

"Yo man, havin' sex in there?" Nick asked Howie as he came flying out the door towards the elevator. "The press conference is supposed to be at 5 and it's already 4:45. You took ten minutes too long." Kevin said as they got to the lobby. "Sorry guys." Howie apologized. "So, you've known Breanna for less than two days. Now you two are glued and the hip and lip. What's up? You've never moved this fast before." Kevin asked worriedly as they exited the elevator. "I don't know. We just clicked." Howie said in his defense. "Leave the man alone!" AJ teased. The limo was waiting in the back of the hotel as the guys piled in one by one. "So, how ya doin' over there Brian?" Howie asked. "I'm ok. My head doesn't really hurt anymore." Brian stated. "So, you'll be up for more partying tonight?" AJ asked. "I think I can handle it. It's not everyday someone turns 21. And we don't have a show tomorrow." Brian said. "So, how about you, Nick?" Brian asked. "Well, that depends on how the show goes. I mean with Eve and Breanna. If they can accept D and Kev after knowing what we do, then sure." Nick said as he looked out the limo window. "Oh, there's something I kinda wanted to talk to you guys about before the show. I wanna make a little change in the lineup." Howie said as he explained his new game plan to the guys.

Breanna and Eve quickly took showers and got dressed. It was already 5:30. Breanna dried off and looked herself over in the mirror. She knew she was plain. She wasn't model material or even close to it. Breanna wondered why Howie had such interest in her. She couldn't figure it out but she wasn't going to sit and think about it. She put her violet dress on and stared at herself in the mirror trying to figure out what she wanted to do with her hair. There wasn't much to do with it because it was too short. She grabbed her violet butterfly clips and stared at them laughing. She remembered that less than 24 hours ago Brian had them in his hair as he pranced around in her shirt and Eve's skirt down the hallway. She leaned towards the mirror trying to figure out the best place to put them. She adjusted the hair clips and looked herself over before applying her makeup. She was happy with what Howie had picked out for her to wear. After she finished her makeup she slipped on her black sandals. "It's 6:15! Are you ready yet?" Eve yelled. "Yeah, I'll be down in a minute." She said as she grabbed her purse and cellphone. "Let's go!" Breanna said as she ran down the stairs. "Geez, girl! You're gonna give Howie a heart attack in that thing." "Well, he picked it out." Breanna stated as they left the hotel room. "Ready ladies?" Q asked. "Yup!" Both girls said walking into the elevator. As they walked through the lobby they noticed a lot of press walking around and young girls. "Q, what's been going on here. There have been people everywhere ever since yesterday." Eve asked. "This is a hotel." Q stated. "I *know* that. I mean these people don't look like they're staying here." "I don't know ladies. I'll find out later." Q said as he escorted them to the front of the hotel where a limo was waiting. "This is going to be so much fun!" Breanna and Eve mussed.

As they pulled into the back of the arena at 7 o'clock Breanna and Eve started looking for the guys. "Ladies, they won't be here until after the opening act." Q stated. Breanna and Eve were disappointed but understood as Q escorted them to their seats. The guys were right, the seats were front and center. Other girls sat right next to them with posters and banners and little gifts. Eve guessed that the age range of the girls was probably between 10 and 17. "This is weird" Eve commented as she looked around. "The stage setting is amazing!" Breanna quipped. Both girls were pointing to different props and lighting effects on the stage. They never realized the banners or posters. Most of the girls placed them under their seats until the concert started. "Eve, where are the guys going to sit?" Breanna asked as she pointed to the girls sitting on either sides of them. "I don't know. I'm not going to worry about it. We still have to see an opening act so they're probably here for that. They'll hopefully leave afterwards." Eve stated. After 20 minutes the music started to play and a cute boy around the age of 10 jumped up on the stage. "Eve, he looks just like Nick!" Breanna commented as the little boy sang his heart out on stage. The girls dancing next to them only looked at each other and rolled their eyes. "Those girls aren't fans!" One of them complained but Breanna and Eve never heard them. After the young boy left the stage the arena went nuts cheering. "What are they saying?" Breanna asked. "I dunno. Sounds like something-something Boys." Eve said. "Where's Howie?! He said he'd be here. So did Kevin!" Breanna complained. "They'll get here." Eve shouted over the crowd. Finally the lights went down and smoke filled the arena. Music started playing quietly and started to gain volume with each beat. Breanna and Eve started dancing with the music along with everyone else. Just then, 5 guys flew above their heads on what looked like surf or skateboards to the stage as the crowd went nuts. "How cool!" Eve commented as one of the guys started singing while the rest of the guys danced. When they made their way from the back of the stage to the front, Eve and Breanna's eyes bulged. "Holy shit! They never told us what they did on purpose! I'm going to kill Howie when we get back to the hotel!!" Breanna screamed. Howie glanced down while he sang his part to see a very pissed off Breanna. "Oh god, she's pissed." He mouthed to Kevin. "Breanna, he messed up his dance steps." Eve laughed as she pointed at Howie. "Oh, geez, he was nervous all day but I couldn't figure out why!" She yelled back to Eve. Both girls looked at the stage smiling and dancing and after a while they figured out the lyrics and sang along. Howie and Kevin were beaming.
