Nick was about to tap her on the shoulder when she suddenly walked out of the store. Wha? Where is she going? Didn't she hear me? Nick asked himself as he started to follow her out of the store. As soon as he looked around, he saw her walking toward Kevin, who was leaning on the opposite side of the boardwalk railing, looking out at the ocean.
Oh no, Nick thought. No, no, no, no, NO! This cannot be happening. She can't like him, she can't! Not after I sang to her at Montage, she can't like him! Damn, if he sees her, I don't know what might happen. If he falls for her, then I will kill him. I don't care if there's one less Backstreet Boy, we can always get J.C. Chasez to replace him.

"Hi, Kevin" Ali said calmly as she approached Kevin. Inside she was screaming, but on the outside she was calm, cool, and collected, just like she had wanted to be if this day would ever come.
Kevin turned around, and saw her. Oh, my God, it's her. I wonder if Nick saw her yet, Kevin thought as he smiled at her. "Hi. I take it you already know who I am, so why don't you tell me who you are?"
"I'm Ali. I'm from Pennsylvania, I just went to the Montage concert. You guys put on a great show," Ali said, trying not to scream like a teenybopper.
"Thanks. Hey, wait a minute, I think I remember you. Weren't you the only girl in the front row that wasn't screaming?"
Ali laughed. "Yeah, I think I was. My friends were, though. They're like older versions of teenyboppers, I swear, they can't control themselves at all."
Kevin smiled at her as he saw Nick standing in the doorway of the shop he had just come out of, staring at Ali and Kevin with a look of wanting and longing on his face. "Hey, Nick, come here, meet the one girl who WASN'T screaming at us last week," Kevin said, hoping Nick would get over his shyness and talk to Ali already.

"Hi," Ali said to Nick as he walked over to Kevin and her.
"Hi," Nick replied quietly, almost shyly.
Kevin, sensing that this conversation was going nowhere, said, "Well, Ali, where are you staying?"
"Oh, I'm staying in the North Arms Condo Complex, down a few blocks that way," Ali pointed down the beach.
Nick got excited with this fact. "Hey, that's where we're staying!"
"All of you?" Ali asked, meaning Kevin in particular.
"Yeah, all of us. What number are you?"
"Three."
Nick smiled, and said, "We're in Four."
"Great," Ali said.
"Hey, would you and your friends like to meet us for dinner tonight? At, say, The Embers Resturant?" Kevin asked, well knowing that Nick wanted to, but couldn't figure out how to.
"Sure, I'm sure they'd love it," Ali replied.
"Great. We'll meet you and your friends at, say, six-thirty, at, umm," Kevin trailed off, trying to think of a place where they could meet.
"Meet us at our condo," Ali said. "We'll be ready, no problem." Ali turned to leave. "Oh, wait a second, if my friends act surprised to see you, expect it. Don't you worry, I have some plans for my friends."
