�Morning babe,� Dave said.
�Goooood morning Daddy! When do we leave?!� Dave laughed.
�We have to be at the airport in about an hour. Are you all ready?�
�Yep! Let�s go!� She said excitedly.
�Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sit down and eat while I call a car,� he said sitting down his paper and going to the phone. Kaci ate quickly and ran to bring all her things down. About 20 minutes later, the car came to pick them up and they were on their way. Kaci was excited but very nervous. She had butterflies in her stomach as they stepped onto the plane. She put on her headphones and thought of Gene the entire way there.
They finally arrived in Tampa and there was a car waiting to take them to their hotel. When they walked into their suit, Kaci was taken aback. She�d never been on a business trip with her father and didn�t realize all the perks of his job until now.
�Whoa, geez Dad, look at this place.� He laughed.
�I thought you�d enjoy it. I�ve gotta meet someone downstairs in about 15 mintues so you can get settled and after my meeting I�ll take you to see the studio, okay?�
�Sounds good!� she said. He waved a little and left the room. She looked around, amazed, and went to the phone.
�Yello,� she heard.
�Hey G,� she smiled.
�Hey! Baby you in town yet?� he asked.
�Yep, just checked into the hotel. My dad�s meeting someone downstairs real quick then we�re going to Jive Studios.�
�Cool, so�maybe we can meet for dinner or something?� he asked smiling. He had to think of something to say, but he and Dave had already decided to have her meet Nick at the studios.
�yeah that�d be cool, um, you can come to the hotel, they�ve got a nice restaurant downstairs.�
�Alright, we�ll do that, um, call me whenever you get back and then you can tell me where you�re at and stuff.�
�Okay, I�ll talk to ya later then,� she said.
�Okay, love ya babe, see ya,� he replied.
�Love ya too, bye.� She hung up and sighed and switched on the TV until her Dad returned.

�Eeek, we�re here!� Kaci said as they were walking up to the Jive studios, �Am I going to meet any famous people?� She asked excitedly.
�Hmm, I don�t know�� Dave said slyly. Kaci jumped up and down holding her Dad�s hand.
�Calm down babe, come on,� he said as they went inside. Kaci looked around for any signs of celebrities. They walked to a desk where her dad started talking to a secretary .She turned around just in time to see a girl walking down the hall with 2 older people, then they walked into a room.
�Oh. My. God. Daddy!� She whispered tugging on his coat, �That was Britney Spears!�
Dave laughed, taking her hand, �Come on.� They walked down a long hallway and stepped into an elevator. They got out on the 3rd floor and went across the hall to a room.
�You can stay in here while I go make sure I can show you around. There�s some vending machines and a TV. I�ll be back,� he said smiling and walking away. Kaci sighed and got some chips and a Mt. Dew and sat down on a couch to watch TV. A few minutes later, she heard someone come in the room. She turned around to see Nick Carter getting something out of the vending machines.
