It was Nick who was walking down to the back of the bus. He had wanted to see what his best buddy was up to and Brian told him he could head on back while he helped Howie and Kevin get some more thing situated up front.

Justin looked up when he saw Nick walk in. "Hey Nick," he greeted. "You feeling alright?" He questioned referring to the tears and the little scene that transpired a few minutes ago.

Nick nodded his head as he smiled. "Yeah me otay...what doing?" he asked, wondering what the older man was doing.

Noticing it was Nick that had walked back, AJ thought it would be best if he headed into the bathroom until his body calmed down. He didn't need his state of arousal to scare the boy to death if he noticed. Jumping down he headed for the bathroom and shut the door.

Justin patted the seat beside him for Nick to seat down. "I'm getting my bunk ready, where do you wanna stay?"

Nick looked over at the bunks and smiled big when he noticed that the one right across from Justin was empty. "Me stay dare?" he asked pointing at the bunk.

"Cool," Justin said. He was happy that Nick chose the bunk bed that was right across from him but at the same time he wanted AJ to be there because then it could be easier to sneak into each other's beds at night without disturbing anyone. "We get to be bunk buddies! You need any help in setting up your bunk?"

Nick thought about that a second before nodding his head. "Yeah me do," he said as he walked to where his bags were set and grabbed the one that he knew had his sheets and stuff in it. "ookie," he said opening the bag and pulling out the packages of his brand new ocean print sheets.

"That's so cool," Justin said as he took the packages and opened them for Nick. "I'm so jealous now." Justin chuckled. "Your stuff is way cooler than mine."

Nick looked at Justin's baby blue sheets and shook his head. "Me tink yours cool too," he said with a big smile, trying to help Justin feel better.

Justin stuck his tongue out as he looked at his sheets and then at Nick's. "Blah, no they are not." Justin shrugged. "Oh well, I guess I'll just have to do with these till the end of the tour, I suppose. How 'bout we start setting up your bed?" Justin grabbed Nick's bag and took out the rest of the things that would be needed for Nick's bed.

"Otay," Nick said with a smile as he grabbed his pillow and the pillow cases and started to put them on. He was a big boy and knew how to do that much. "Me big boy," he said with a big smile on his face when he got the pillow case on his pillow.

Justin smiled at how Nick seemed to be glowing at such things. He loved it when Nick beamed with happiness. "You most certainly are." He then set Nick's bed up with the sheets and blanket. He heard faint arguing coming from the front of the bus and quickly stuck his head between the curtains to see just what was going on. He grimaced when he saw Lou standing there obviously pissed about something as he was red in the face and talking to Kevin. He also noticed that their bus driver was now settled in and knew that they would soon begin their travel. He closed the curtain and went back to where Nick was arranging his pillow and a few of his stuffed animals on the bed.

"Who mad?" Nick asked looking at Justin with big blue eyes as he sat Fuzzy in the center of his bunk since he was the most special of his stuffed animals.

"No one," Justin said. He didn't really think Nick should be introduced to Lou right now, or ever for that matter until Nick was well prepared for it. "Don't worry about it. We'll be starting soon, though. Excited?"

Nick nodded his head as he popped his pacifier into his mouth. "Me weddy to hit da road," he giggled.

"Ah, spoken like a pro," Justin said chuckling. "You're going to love this touring stuff in the long run. I mean I know it'll be difficult at first but I know you're gonna love it," Justin said from knowledge of the past as well as from what Nick had said the other night while they were at the arena, about how he wanted to dance and sing one day.

Nick was going to say something before he tensed up when he heard Lou yelling at the top of his lungs. "Justin..." he whispered in a voice that sounded scared to death.

SHIT! Justin's mind screamed. Shit, what the hell's going on out there? He needed to get Nick out of that area and into the back room, where a sound proof recording studio was built, now. "Shhh," Justin said hugging Nick and maneuvering their way into the studio room and closing the door. He sighed as all the sounds stopped the second the door closed. "It's okay, there's just some sort of misunderstanding going on up there. Everything's okay." Justin tried to assure Nick as well as himself. "No need to be afraid, I'm here and so are the guys."

"Brian..." Nick whispered looking at Justin with worried eyes. He was scared that whoever was yelling was going to hurt Brian.

"Brian's alright," Justin assured Nick when he heard the worry and fear in Nick's voice. "Brian's a strong man and he's got AJ, Howie, AND Kevin, there for back up." He then spotted the stereo over by the back wall and walked over to it. "Ooo, you wanna listen to some music?" Justin questioned in hopes that he could deter Nick's mind from the argument to something else. "You can hear Brian, AJ, Kevin, and Howie sing!" Justin placed the CD 'Backstreet Boys' into the CD section and pressed play. Soon the beginning notes to 'We've got it going on' came through the speakers.

Nick listened to the music and a smile came to his face, well for a second anyway until something caught his attention. "Who dat?" he asked when he heard a voice singing that he didn't recognize.

"Brian," Justin stated as Brian was singing his line. He knew that this track didn't have Nick singing solo on it because it was mostly Brian and AJ singing with the exception of the chorus.

"Oh, otay." Nick said with a smile as he started dancing to the music, giggling like crazy. Thankfully the one good thing about being a little kid was the fact that they could easily forget what was happening.

Justin sighed and took a seat on one of the stool type chairs they had there with a smile on his face as he watched Nick dancing about. Something about this just brought back so many memories of when he and Nick used to dance and fool around; this scene felt so right and natural. As soon as the track ended Justin quickly skipped to another song in which Nick wasn't singing any solo lines; 'Hey Mr. DJ.'

Nick was getting such a kick out of hearing his friends singing on a CD. After dancing for a good fifteen minutes he was getting thirsty and without thinking he opened the door and started heading out. "Me tirsty," he called back to Justin as he headed out front where nobody was yelling at the moment but things were still really tense. He walked into the main part of the room and everybody froze.

"Wait! No," Justin called out in a panic as he grabbed for Nick but missing him by a few centimeters. He quickly followed Nick and stopped short as he walked into the living room area only to see everyone's eyes on the two of them. Justin gave an apologetic look and shrugged. "Come on Nick," Justin said as he placed a comforting hand on Nick's shoulder. "Why don't you go back in the room and I'll bring you your milk or orange juice, what do you want?" Justin questioned as he turned Nick around so that the other blonde wouldn't be able to see Lou's plump red face and the seething anger displayed on Kevin's face.

"Me want appo juice," Nick said as he continued to walk to the kitchen knowing there were bottles already made up for him. He was almost all the way there when he noticed Lou looking right at him and he froze again.

Lou stared at Nick before putting on the best 'fatherly' smile that he could on his face. "Well, hello there, Nickolas," Lou greeted the younger boy in a disgustingly sweet voice, causing the guys to look at him in disgust. "I'm Lou, do you remember me?" Lou started to walk over to Nick but stopped the second Justin stood in front of Nick, blocking his view of Nick. Lou sneered when Justin shot him a menacing look and turned around to talk to Nick.

"Nick, listen to me," Justin said in a stern voice. "Go back in that room, right now and I'LL get you your bottle, do you understand?"

Nick had no idea what was going on and why Justin was acting the way he was. Lou seemed like a cool guy to Nick...but he listened to Justin anyway. "Otay," he whispered before slowly turning and walking out of the room.

Kevin sighed a sigh of relief when Nick headed back down the hall and then he too glared at Lou. "What the hell was that, just a second ago you were calling him retarded and a bunch of other shit."

"He is," Lou stated point blank. "Did you hear how he spoke?" Lou then shook his head. "This is costing me a lot of money, bringing him on tour with you guys. You boys better sell records and make the profits this tour, if not, I'm dropping you." Lou warned them.

Howie grabbed Kevin's shoulders to keep him in place when he noticed that Kevin was ready to punch the fat troll. Personally, Howie wouldn't have minded, but there were other things here at stake and they couldn't go about and do just that.

"You fucking asshole!" Kevin exclaimed as he tried to lunge at Lou but Howie held him back some how. "Howie let me go..."

AJ looked over at Justin and nodded his head towards the back; he didn't want Justin there during this and knew Nick needed him.

Justin sighed and quickly grabbed the bottle of apple juice and headed out back to the studio, closing the door behind him. "Here you go buddy," Justin said holding the bottle out to Nick before pulling it back, out of Nick's reach. "Next time, don't just get up and leave, okay? Ask for permission or ask one of us, who ever is with you, of what you want. But under no circumstances are you to just up and leave unless one of us gives you the 'okay', okay?" Justin said in the gentlest voice he could use so that Nick would know he wasn't being scolded, that he wasn't in any kind of trouble.

Nick wasn't sure he liked that and he pouted. He didn't like not being able to just walk around free like he did at home." Me wana go home," he mumbled as he spit his pacifier out so it was hanging around his neck and popped his bottle into his mouth.

Justin sighed as he picked up on Nick's reason for saying that. "You don't have to do that all the time, sorry that I forgot to mention that part. But yah, not all the time only when we have company or something like that." Justin contemplated on whether or not to tell Nick to stay clear from Lou now or if he should let Brian be the one to say it. Justin opted to let Brian be the one figuring that would be the safe bet. "I promise you that this tour is gonna be fun."

Nick looked up at Justin with a skeptical look on his face and sighed as he sat back and drank down his whole bottle in what seemed like seconds.

Justin frowned. "You don't believe me?"

"Me dunno," Nick said with a shrug as he looked at his empty bottle of juice wondering if he should say that he's still thirsty or not.

"Well, I'm not going to say that the ENTIRE tour will be fun because there will be some times that it'll be a little rough but we gotta be there for the guys because this is their job, you know?" Justin said and then looked at Nick who was looking at the empty bottle with longing in his eyes. "You want more?"

"Pweeze?" Nick asked as he looked at Justin hopefully.

Justin nodded his head and he took the bottle from Nick. "Um, I'll be right back, don't go anywhere and don't mess with anything," Justin said. "This stuff is really expensive and if it gets broken the guys are going be in really BIG trouble." Justin took in a deep breath before quickly opening the door and walking out through the bunk area and into the kitchen. He kept his head down the whole entire time as he heard Lou warn them about messing up before he stepped off the bus. Justin grabbed a new bottle of apple juice and placed the empty one on the counter. He took a quick glance at the guys who were all staring at the doors Lou just walked out of, not realizing Justin was there. He then quickly headed back to where Nick was figuring they needed some time to calm down and talk about things.

Nick smiled big when Justin came back with his juice. He didn't know why but he was just really, really thirsty. "Tank you," he said politely as he took the juice when Justin handed it to him.

Justin nodded his head. "You're welcome." He sat down and wondered what they were going to do now and wondered just what happened up front.

Nick was content drinking his juice which lasted about as long as the other one so he was only content for a good two minutes before he sighed looking around the room. It was then the bus started moving and Nick's eyes went wide. "We go bye, bye?"

Justin felt the engine being turned on as the vibrations traveled from his feet up and then he felt the bus jerk in movement and knew they were departing the parking lot. "Yeah," Justin said answering Nick's question. "We are."

"Me go?" Nick asked, really wanting to be up front with the other guys, but he did what Justin said and didn't leave the room until he was told he could.

Justin didn't know if it was safe for Nick to go or if the guys had calmed down enough so that they won't scare Nick. But Justin didn't have to wait long, heck, he didn't even have to respond to that since Brian took that moment to stick his head in.

"Is everything alright in here?" Brian questioned as he saw Nick sitting down and Justin standing up next to Nick.

Nick's eyes lit up when he saw Brian and he smiled big. "Me otay," he said as he walked over and gave Brian a big huge hug. It had only been like half an hour since he had seen his 'daddy' but he had missed him.

Brian laughed as he hugged Nick right back and looked at Justin asking him with his eyes if Nick really was okay only to smile when Justin nodded his head in confirmation. Brian tried to pull back from Nick only to find out that Nick wasn't letting go. "Hey," Brian said in a soft voice. "What's wrong?"

"Noting... me miss you," Nick whispered as he clung to Brian for a few minutes before pulling back.

"I missed you, too," Brian said. "Let's head on back up front, we're gonna watch a movie." He put his arm around Nick and escorted them towards the door before looking back at Justin with a questioning look on his face.

"I'll be there in a minute," Justin answered and sighed when Brian nodded his head and walked out with Nick. He sat down on the chair and rested his head in his hands that were propped up on his thighs. He was feeling exhausted all of a sudden.

Nick walked out front with Brian and smiled big when he saw the rest of the guys. He then started bouncing around the room like a cat who had been locked up for a long time and was now happy to be free.

Howie looked over at Nick and laughed before looking at Brian. "Where's Justin?"

Brian nodded his head in the direction he'd just come from. "He's still back there, told me to give him a minute."

Nick continued to hop around the room until he felt the bottle of milk he had, had earlier, the apple juice Brian had given him, and the two other bottles of juice he just had go right through him. He then opted to go look out the window of the bus as he peed like crazy.

Kevin was now sitting down next to Howie still trying to keep himself under control. He couldn't believe Lou had said those things about Nick and about them. If it wasn't for Howie's calming hand on his back he wasn't sure if he could stand it.

AJ looked towards the back of the bus wondering if he should go back and check on Justin or not. Sighing, he decided not to knowing that maybe he really did just need a few minutes to himself, but if he was back there for too long then he would go check on him.

Justin rubbed his face and then stretched. He looked at the time and noticed that it was almost 10:30. Since they were gonna go and watch a movie he figured he might as well get into his PJ's. He walked out of the studio room and into the bunk area. Looking through his suitcase he picked out a white sleeveless t-shirt and gray sweatpants. Looking around him he figured he'd change right there and then quickly. In a matter of seconds Justin was out of his casual clothes and wearing the clothes he'd picked out. He then walked out of the bunk area and over to where the guys were all seated getting ready to watch the movie. The only seat he saw available was to Nick's left. So he took it.

Nick smiled at Justin as he sat down next to him. "Watch wit us?" he asked his friend.

AJ glanced in Justin's direction giving him one of those 'you okay' looks.

Now a lot calmer; Kevin sat snuggled up next to Howie ready for the movie to start so they could all spend some quality time together.

Justin looked at Nick first and smiled as he nodded his head before turning over to look at his boyfriend, giving the same response he had given Nick. He turned his attention back towards the TV screen and slouched down in his seat, getting comfortable.

Howie rested his head on Kevin's chest. "What ARE we watching anyways?" He questioned realizing that fact.

Brian smirked as he pressed play and soon a cartoon deer and its mother were shown having some quality time.

"We're watching Bambi?" AJ asked with wide eye when he saw the movie start up. "Please tell me we're not watching Bambi."

"Well we can't really watch the normal movies YOU watch Aje, especially with Nicky in the room," Kevin teased; they always loved to tease AJ about the fact that for a straight year he would make them watch porn every week when it was his turn to pick the movie. When he had been seventeen and really horny.

Brian nodded his head as he laughed. "I'm designating at least once a week as a Disney movie night. Some thing enjoyable for all of us... well almost all of us."

"I cried the first time I saw this," Howie admitted deep in thought. "But I was like 7 at the time." Then he wondered how Nick would take something like that.

Nick wasn't even listening to the adult conversation going on around him. He was too busy watching the movie and giggling and laughing at all the funny things baby Bambi was doing. He hadn't seen this movie before so he didn't know what was going to happen.

"I know Disney movies are cool and all, but Bambi?" AJ continued to whine, he didn't really want to watch the movie because he knew that even at twenty years old he still cried at the sad parts.

"Awww," Howie said. "Someone's a bit of a softie." When he and AJ used to work at Universal a few years back he learned that though AJ put on a tough guy façade when he was in fact a guy with a big heart that got teary eyed at any sadness portrayed on screen or in a movie. Howie liked that about his best friend, the fact that he had two sides but he knew how much that had to be difficult for the younger man since people labeled him with a 'bad boy' persona when he really wasn't.

Nick's eyes went wide when he saw Bambi's dad come on screen for the first time. It was weird but that was kinda like how he viewed his dad. Big and scary and untouchable, "Big daddy deer," he said still looking at the screen with big eyes.

Justin looked over and was just about ready to put his arm around Nick knowing just what the next scene would unfold but Brian beat him to it. For some reason he wanted Nick to cuddle up with him. Justin brought his attention back to the screen and pouted.

Brian put his arm around Nick and smiled a little. "Yeah, that's a really big daddy deer but most daddy deer's are big," Brian said and then added, "In most cases any ways."

"Yeah because big daddy deer has to look cool for all the ladies," AJ laughed. "Daddy deer definitely get around."

Kevin rolled his eyes and glared at AJ playfully. "Only YOU would think like that about a kid’s movie."

Nick screamed when the whole mommy dying scene happened. He hid his face in his own hands, peaking his eyes out ever few seconds. "Mommy otay...is mommy otay?"

Howie rolled his eyes. "Will you boys please be quiet, some of us are trying to watch the movie and that can't be done-" Howie was in the processing of saying when Nick cut him off with a scream. 'Great, I missed it,' Howie thought to himself.

Brian rubbed small circles on Nick's back but remained silent.

Justin, on the other hand, did answer. "She's going to rest in peace now."

It took Nick a second to realize what exactly had happened to the mommy dear and he sighed with a sad look on his face. "Mommy deer die," he whispered and then was silent again for a second. "What Bambi do without mommy?"

"That's what this story is all about. It's about how Bambi survives in the forest, about the new friends he makes, and how he matures on his own," Brian whispered.

Nick wasn't exactly sure what all that meant but he relaxed back against the couch, moving to sit like Justin was, wanting to feel like a big boy.

After a few more minutes Justin felt his eyes starting to droop. For the better part he was trying his best to keep them opened and pay attention but he just couldn't. He finally gave in, crossed his arms across his chest, his hands going under his armpits, as his head rested back against the couch.

After a few more minutes Kevin glanced over at Justin and giggled a little. "I think we lost Justin, and Nick doesn't look far behind."

Howie turned his head over to look at Justin and then at Nick and chuckled. "I think you're right." He nudged Brian and nodded his head at Nick and Justin when Brian looked at him.

Brian looked at Justin and smiled. 'Aww, Justin looks so young,' Brian thought to himself and he chuckled at the pout that was present, even in his sleep, just like Nick. Sometimes Brian felt like both Nick and Justin were twins or something in one of their past lives, if there is such a thing. He turned his attention back to the movie figuring he'd let them sleep there until the movie ends and then get them settled in bed.

A few minutes later Nick actually woke himself up and looked over at Brian. "Brian me tirsty," he whispered.

"That boy is constantly drinking." Kevin laughed softly when he heard what Nick had asked for.

Howie looked over at Nick. "He did drink a LOT today," Howie said thinking about that fact. "Did you check his diaper to see if he went number one or not or something? Because it's late and I don't think he went to the bathroom since we got to the bus." Howie whispered as Brian leaned forward to get himself up.

Brian looked over at Howie. He did have a point. Brian couldn't help but feel like he was being a very forgetful 'parent' especially when it came to checking up on Nick. He was thankful that he had these guys around. "You're right," Brian whispered back. Turning over to look at Nick he asked, "Do you need a diaper change or something?"

Nick shook his head in the negative since he didn't want to be changed and with his cool new diapers it didn't feel very wet at all even though he was so why worry about it when it wasn't bothering him. At least that’s how he saw it. "Me say me tirsty," he said as if Brian had heard him wrong.

Brian frowned. Even though it was dark he could still make out something in Nick's eyes, something that said Nick wasn't telling the truth but he sighed and made a mental note to discuss 'potty training' with Nick. "I heard you but I was just wondering if you needed a change since you've been drinking a lot today." Brian quietly got up and went over to the fridge as he took out a bottle of milk and warmed it for a few seconds. Then he headed back to the living room and reclaimed his seat as he gave Nick the bottle.

"Tank you," Nick said as politely as ever with a big smile on his face. He hadn't seen what he did as lying before because in his eyes he just didn't want to be changed so he just said he didn't need to be. He wasn't purposely trying to be disobedient.

"Maybe he's just really good at holding in his liquids and hasn't gone yet?" AJ suggested with a shrug.

"Maybe," Brian said incredulously. Over the past few days he'd learned that once Nick drank at least one bottle of liquid he'd have peed in his diaper within an hour to two hours time period. Thinking back to earlier that day he knew that with the amount of bottles Nick's had plus the hours he went without being changed that if he were to pat the diaper right now, he'd more likely than find out that Nick indeed had gone. He wasn't angry with Nick in the least. He just wanted Nick to understand that wearing a dirty diaper for long periods of time without being changed would worsen the rash he'd already slightly developed and god only knew what other complications could arise. He was just being a worry-wart.

Like always it only took Nick a matter of four minutes to drink down his whole bottle and he leaned forward to put it on the coffee table like everybody else had done with their pop cans and water bottles. He then leaned back on the couch again, taking the position Justin was in again, and with his legs spread wide and the material of his sweats stretching it was obvious that Brian was right and knew Nick well.

AJ looked over at Justin and smiled at how cute he looked sleeping like that. He knew it would make people wonder but he really didn't care so he stood up and made his way over to Justin anyway. "I'm gunna go put this one to bed," he told the guys noticing that Nick wasn't as sleepy anymore but Justin was still out like a light. Not saying anything else he picked the teen up in his arms and carried him back towards the bunks.

Kevin watched AJ carry Justin out of the room with a raised eyebrow. "Uhhh...okay..." he said with a slight laugh and a shake of his head. Yup, something was definitely going on.

Brian watched as AJ carried Justin off to bed with a 'okay' look on his face before shaking his head and bringing his attention back to Nick who too was watching AJ walk off with Justin in his arms. He settled back in his seat and noticed that the movie was a few minutes away from ending. Perfect. He'd get Nick to change into his PJ's and in the process change the diaper as well.

Justin groaned as he felt someone carry him but he didn't wake until, that is, when he felt like he was being laid down. His eyes fluttered open a bit disoriented about just what was going on and where he was. "What's going on?" He asked in a soft voice trying to wake up.

"You fell asleep so I brought you to bed," AJ whispered as he pulled the covers up Justin's body and tucked him in a little.

Nick pouted and crossed his arms over his chest when he saw the movie ending. "No done...watch other one...watch more!"

Brian groaned. "Nick," he whined. "It's late and it was a long day. Unlike someone in this room I haven't had the chance to sleep." Okay, Brian knew he was acting like a kid but in a way he is. He's only 23 and well he wasn't prepared for being a father of a two year old. 'What the hell do you want from me?' Brian asked just whoever was listening in on his thoughts. "Besides, I don't have any more movies that we could watch. Just this one, I'll buy more tomorrow or later!"

Nick wasn't exactly prepared to have Brian whining back so that shut him up quickly as he looked at Brian in amazement.

Kevin laughed a little as he stood up and stretched. "Ya know Nicky we're all sleepy so you would be really bored out here all by yourself while we sleep."

"Yah," Howie said agreeing with Kevin. "I'm sure you don't really want to sit out here all alone in the dark, cold room while we're all safely tucked in our warm comfortable beds."

Brian looked over at Nick and pouted. "I still haven't made my bed yet and so, I still have that to do."

"Me can help you!" Nick said getting excited about helping Brian make his bed. He jumped up and started heading for the back of the bus.

Kevin groaned and laughed, "How can he have so much energy when I feel like I'm going to fall over?"

Brian looked over at Kevin and raised an eyebrow as his facial expressions said 'you're an old man.'

Howie laughed as he noticed that look and defended his boyfriend. "Hey, play nice!"

Kevin glared at Brian as he and Howie entered the bathroom to get ready for bed.

Nick smiled at AJ and Justin as they entered the same area, Justin was pretty much asleep again and AJ was just saying goodnight. "Justin sweepy?"

AJ smiled and nodded his head as he headed to his own bunk. "Yeah, Justin’s really sleepy, we didn't get very good sleep last night."

Brian walked into the bunk area and squeezed himself past Nick. "Who's sleeping where?" He questioned as he looked at the bunks on both sides.

"That's Howie and Kev's of course," AJ said pointing at their bunks. "Justin's there of course, Nick is right there. So either one of the bunks above Nick’s is yours. I have yet to put my stuff out yet but you can choose first." He said as he started looking in his bag for his bedding.

Brian shrugged. "I guess I'll take the one above Nick's," Brian said as he picked up his bag and looked inside for the bedding as well. Within five minutes he had his bed set to his satisfaction. "You wanna get changed into your PJ's?" Brian asked Nick.

Nick looked at Brian and shook his head with a slightly funny look on his face. He wasn't ready to be put his jammies and changed yet because there was still a lot of the liquid he had drank still inside of him. "Me help you more?" he asked hopefully.

Kevin and Howie came out of the bathroom and headed to their bunks. "Goodnight guys," Kevin said with a smile as he closed the curtain around his bunk.

"Good night," Howie said as he waited for Kevin to get into his bed, which was the top one, before he got in to his own bunk, the middle one.

Brian raised his eyebrow and wondered why Nick was being that way. "Um, I'm just going to go the bathroom and change," he said to Nick and then moved out of the way as Howie and Kevin walked by him bidding their good nights. "Night guys!"

"Otay," Nick said as he flopped onto his bunk stomach first and started to talk to his stuffed animals as he waited for Brian to come back.

Brian quickly grabbed his clothes before heading over to the bathroom to change. After peeing, washing his face, changing his clothes, he walked back out and headed back over to his bunk. "Okay, what now?" He questioned as he noticed AJ was ready for his turn in the bathroom.

Nick looked up from where he was talking to Fuzzy and smiled. "Brian weddy for bed?"

"Just about," Brian answered Nick. "Are you?"

"Nope," Nick said point blank as he turned onto his back to look up at the ceiling.

"We're gonna need like a time table of when you should sleep," Brian mumbled out in a whisper. "Um, well, if you can't sleep, neither can I. So, what do you wanna do?" Brian sighed.

Justin started to wake up from all the commotion going on beyond his curtain. He slowly pulled the curtain aside and the first thing he saw were the back of Brian's thighs. Huh. "Hey guys," Justin said sleepily as he sat up and leaned forward. "What's going on?"

"Noting," Nick said as his hand went down to his normal sleeping position at his crotch but this time it was for other reasons than that. He really had to go potty again but he didn't want to go so he was holding it even though there really wasn't a reason to.

AJ came walking out of the bathroom to see Justin awake and wondered what was going on too. "Did I miss something?" he asked with a yawn as he hopped up into his own bunk.

Justin watched as AJ climbed the top bunk on the other side and sighed. For some reason he wanted AJ to lie with him in his bunk or him lie in AJ's bunk. "Nothing," Justin said. "I just woke up wondering what's going on. How did I get here anyways?" Justin asked. The last thing he remembered was watching Bambi sing with a bunch of butterflies and birds and when he woke up he was in his bunk. The fact that AJ had carried him to bed was completely lost due to the sleep hazed mind.

"AJ pick up," Nick said as he sat up in his bunk.

AJ lied on his stomach and looked down into Justin's bunk. "Yeah, I carried you."

Justin scratched his head. He started to somewhat recollect that part but still, over all, he couldn't remember. "Oh," Justin said blushing. "Thanks."

Brian looked down at Justin with an apologetic smile. "Sorry if we woke you, it's just that Nicky here isn't sleepy."

Justin looked at Nick before answering Brian. "Don't worry about it."

AJ was about to say something when he heard somebody fart rather loudly from underneath and knew it was probably Nick so he kept himself from laughing. "Well... I'm gunna try to get some sleep," he said peeking his head down and eyeing Nick who had a rather funny look on his face.

Justin and Brian both turned their attentions to Nick, both trying to stifle their laughter. "Um, you wanna go change now?" Brian questioned.

Justin looked up at AJ. "Night Age!"

"G'night Justin," AJ said with a smile as he closed his curtain and lied down.

Biting his lower lip Nick shook his head as he moved so he was sitting on his knees, looking down at his new sea blankets. It wasn't that he was embarrassed really but just attempting to get some privacy.

Justin got the feeling that Nick might want to be left alone so he got up and tugged on Brian's sleeve dragging him out to the kitchen area.

Brian wrinkled his forehead wondering what Justin was up to. "What are you doing?"

As soon as they were by the fridge Justin opened it and took out some cold cuts and two slices of bread. "I'm making me a mid-night snack," Justin simply said. "AND I'm giving Nick some alone time."

Brian closed his eyes for a few seconds before opening them. "Take out two more slices of that bread, will ya?" Brian questioned.

About five minutes later Nick came walking out to where Brian and Justin were eating their sandwiches. He was walking perfectly normal, which seemed like it would be impossible for somebody who had just did a number on their diaper. "You eating?" he asked as he climbed into the booth and sat on his knees next to Justin.

"Yup," Justin responded after he swallowed the food and taking a sip of his water.

"You want anything?" Brian questioned looking over at Nick.

"Dat," Nick said pointing at the ham meat that was in Justin's sandwich. He didn't want the bread or anything else just the meat.

Justin looked down at what Nick was pointing at. "You want just the meat?" Justin questioned before opening the packet of ham and handing Nick a two thin slices that were stuck together.

Nick smiled happily as he started nibbling on the pieces of meat, all the while being a much happier camper now that he felt relieved. "Dis yummy," he said still smiling.

Brian opened his mouth to ask if Nick wanted any milk to wash that down but then thought better of it. Instead, he looked over at Justin and noticed the slight bags under his eyes. "You alright?" Brian questioned for the lack of anything else to do or talk about.

Justin was bit taken back by Brian's question and he stared at Brian for a few seconds in surprise that Brian would even care enough to ask but there he was asking. "Um, yah, I'm fine. What about you? You look like your part of the living dead."

"I just need sleep," Brian mumbled before taking a bite of his sandwich.

Nick looked back and forth between Justin and Brian, not sure what to think about all this adult talking going on. But he did know one thing and that was that it was all so very boring. Yawning loudly, he reached up and rubbed at his eyes.

Brian noticed that Nick was getting tired and looked back at Justin. "So, Justin, your new tutor will be here on Monday."

Justin raised an eyebrow and nodded his head. "That's awesome," he said before smacking his forehead. "Darn, I almost forgot. I have to call my mom!"

Nick's eyes started to get heavy as he chewed on the last bits of meat. "Brian?" he said softly.

"Hmm?" Brian questioned as he finished off the last bit of his snack.

"Me sweepy," Nick said as he finished it off with another loud yawn.

Brain nodded his head. "Okay, first we gotta change you and then we can get you to bed, that sound alright to you?"

Nick nodded back as he got out of the booth a hand automatically going to his bottom since things had kinda gotten smooshed weird so now he felt funny. He then moved to Justin and wrapped his arms around him in a big huge goodnight hug. "Night, night."

Justin laughed as he hugged Nick right back. "Night, night," he said mimicking Nick and kissed his cheek.

Brian first went over to get Nick's bag before joining Nick and escorting them to the bathroom. Once inside the bathroom he wondered just how he was supposed to change Nick in the almost too small bathroom.

"Something tinky," Nick said plugging his nose playfully, knowing very well it was HIM that stunk. He then stood in the very small bathroom and looked around. "Small batoom."

"I know," Brian said in response to both of Nick's comments. "Um, let's go back out there." Brian walked back out of the bathroom just in time to see Justin set the empty dishes in the sink. "Hey Justin?" Brian questioned and when Justin turned around he asked, "Do you mind going back to the bunk area for a few minutes?" Brian smiled as Justin took the hint and walked behind the curtains that had the bunk area. Brian looked through Nick's bag and took out a big towel and spread it on the floor indicating for Nick to lie down on it.

Nick lied down on the floor on top of the towel and sighed as if this was a total waist of his time and he could be doing so much better things if being changed didn't get in the way of everything. "Me willy poop," he giggled for some reason sharing that little bit of information like that would help Brian to want to take his pants off and change him.

Brian looked at Nick. "You know Nick whenever you feel like you need to go to the bathroom, can you let me know or can you say something about it?" Brian questioned. He was worried about having Nick potty trained since it was high time for kids Nick's age to learn how to do that. Brian knew that Nick knew just when he was ready to go and figured that he could start off little by little by having Nick tell him and then he could move on to having Nick learn how to use the toilet, that is if Nick was up to that. He pulled down Nick's pants and removed the diaper and quickly folded it and put it in a plastic bag. He then brought out the wipes and cleaned Nick up before applying the rash powder taking notice that the rashes haven't gotten worse but at the same time haven't gotten better.

"Otay Brian," Nick answered with a smile, he wasn't exactly sure what he was agreeing to but he did anyway. He then shivered a little in the slightly chilled room. "Burr..."

Brian quickly took out the new diaper and helped Nick into it. He then stood up and took out Nick's ninja turtles PJ's and helped Nick wear that as well. He took the pacifier he had attached to the other t-shirt and attached it to Nick's PJ shirt. "Anything else that needs to be done before we hit the bed?" Brian questioned.

"Teef," Nick said pointing at his teeth. He knew they needed to brush his teeth before they went to bed.

"Ah," Brian said with a smile. "Good. Let's go and do that." He and Nick walked into the bathroom and started to brush their teeth.

Meanwhile, as Justin walked back in to the bunk area he looked around and frowned. Slowly getting on his tiptoes he opened the curtain of AJ's bunk and peered inside. He smiled as how beautiful AJ looked at that moment. He leaned up a bit more and placed a soft kiss on the tip of AJ's nose, he couldn't help it. He didn't get a good night kiss so this would have to do.

AJ blinked his eyes open slowly and smiled a sleepy smile when he saw Justin standing there. "Hmmm?"

"Ooo, sorry," Justin said smiling back at AJ. "Didn't mean to wake you up. Go back to sleep."

"Nut uh," AJ whispered as he leaned up wanting a better goodnight kiss than that. He pressed his lips lightly to Justin's and left them there for a good ten seconds before pulling back and smiling. He didn't want to risk doing any more then that since Nick and Brian could come back at any time. "Night baby," he whispered.

Justin smiled big as he got a dreamy look on his face. "Night Age," he said as he closed the curtain and was back to being flat on his feet. Just as he was about to walk back out to check on Brian and Nick, they came walking through the curtain. "I was just about to check on ya'll," he said chuckling.

Brian smiled. "Hmm, well we're done now," he said. "Nick remembered to brush his teeth. Such a good boy!"

Nick smiled big as he climbed onto his bunk and under his covers. "Me go night, night now...so night, night!" He said before closing his curtain trying to continue to act like a big boy since that is what he saw everybody else do.

Brian laughed and pouted as he slightly opened the curtains. "But I didn't get to tuck you in and I didn't get a hug either."

Nick giggled as he leaned up and hugged Brian tightly and then kissed his cheek before lying back down all the way. "Otay now night nigh," he said as Brian tucked the blankets in around him.

"Night, night," Brian said and closed the curtains before standing up straight and looking at Justin. "How about you?"

Justin shook his head. "Nah, I haven't been tucked in and kissed goodnight since I was seven. Thanks but I'll pass," Justin said smiling.

Brian rolled his eyes before laughing. "Not what I meant. What I meant was are you gonna go to bed, too?"

Justin nodded his head and got into his bunk before telling Brian 'good night' and Brian did the same as he got into his own bunk.
