| "Now the hard part. Getting Kim to agree with the idea," Jess said. "AJ can make her somehow." They walked into the lobby to find everyone including Kayla, Michelle, Elissa, Cassie, and Aaron. "Um guys, can I talk to you?" Nick motioned for the rest of the boys to come over,"Ok. YOu know our littel dancer problem?" "Yeah! We already found 'em!" AJ said. "You did?" Who?"Nick said sounding idssapointed. He looked at Jess. "Yeah! Jess and Kim!" AJ said. "Really?!" Jess said,"That's what we were just talking about! ANd Kimw ent for the idea?" "Yeah, she was all for it!"AJ said,"well...kinda...I mean..Okay I had to pursuade her a little but yeah, she's in." "Then it's settle!" Nick exlaimed,"Let's get going, I'm starved." After breakfast, they all went back to the hotel adn helped the guys pack everything on the buses. The guys had rehearsal for the rest of the day and tomorrow, and a show tomorrow night. Kim and Jess weren't gonna perform for a while because they needed to learn a lot of dances before they could be any good. They all jumped on the buses and headed to the Assembly Hall for rehearsal. The girls sat int he audience watching the guys, cheering them on. Sometiems, they woudl try be funny and 'boo' at them. That was when the guys would forget all about rehearsal and start chasing them. Nick managed to fall down running and rip a couple stitches open. "Owwww ouch damn ahh!" he said as blood ran down his arm. "Oh God, that's gross..." Jess said looking away. "Alright, Kevin take him to the hospital to get those fixed and you two get back quickly so we can finish up here!" The guys's manager, Reed, was cool about all their goofing off but also liked to be serious at times. Kev took Nick to the hospital and everyone else took a break. One of the dancers went and picked up McDonalds for everyone including AJ's which took up half the order. "Oh! My Mickey D's! Has it been that long, love?" AJ spoke in an english accent, right before digging into his big mac. "You are obsessed, aren't you?!" Kim said laughing. They all finished quickly and decided to play sharades. AJ was up. He acted like he was typing and wobbled his head around with a funny looking grin on his face. "I got it!" Brian yelled,"Nick playing video games on crack!" Everyone laughed as Nick came in the door and said,"I heard that!" "No! It was one of those dumb secretarys at the hotel!" AJ yelled. Jess ran to Nick and gave him a kiss. AJ said,"Oh, how sweet! I can do that too!"He grabbed Kima dn kissed her. "Okay," Reed said,"That's enough of the Love Fest, back to work people!" Jess and Kim, you two wanna go through the LTL routine with us?" The girls looked at each other adn happily jumped on stage. The music started adn they all danced. About 2 minutes into the dance, Fatima stopped them. "No Howie! It's 1,2,3, and uh! Not 1,2,3,4,uh! "Doign great baby," Nick whispered in Jess's ear. She smiled and blew a kiss to him as she got back in her spot. About 45 minutes later, they finally got through the whole dance without Fatima stopping them for an error. Jess knew she did something wrong when Fatima said, "Great job! Most of us," as she gave Jess an eye. AFter that, Jess and Kim sat and watched the rest of the rehearsal. "How in the hell are we gonna be able to do those dances?!" Kim asked as she watched the dances with wide eyes,"What do you think Jess?" She didn't answer. She was eyeing a tall red headed dancer that was flirting terribly with Nick. "That little--"Jess stopped herself. "Uh Jess?" Kim asked. "Huh? What?" Jess replied still watching the girl. "Penny for your thoughts?" "Who's that red-head out there dancing by Nick?" Jess asked Reed. "Oh that's Gloria Sanchez. She's been with us since the beginning, why?" "She's been all over my man since I left the stage!" Jess was still giving her the dirtiest looks. "Whoa! Don't do what your thinking! Murder is still illegal in Illinois!" Cass yelled. "Ha ha, "Jess said looking at Cassie. She turned back toward Nick but when she did, she wished she didn't. Gloria pulled Nick close and began kissing him. Jess gasped and her mouth dropped. Nick didn't know what to do so he froze. Jess ran out with tears building in her eyes. "Ughh! You'd think he'd have the nerve to stop after his girlfriend runs out in tears!" Kim yelled running after Jess. Gloria backed off of Nick, smiled and walked away. AJ saw what had happend and wacked Nick in the back of the head. "You son of a--I hope you know what you just did! Your girlfriend sure does!" he yelled at Nick. "Oh shit," Nick said as he ran out the door. |
