The girls asked their parents if they would be allowed to go to Cali with the guys. They all got the same answer. They started packing their bags... Jen came into Cristina's room after she finished packing. Jen-Are you almost done? Cristina-Almost. Jen-Umm, don't you think your taking too much? Cristina-Nahh, i got my basics: make-up, hair stuff, cds, lotions, perfumes, jewelery, changes of clothes, sandals, sneakers, platforms, socks, and dress shoes, Jen walked over to Cristina's closet and opened it. Jen-You took your whole closet? Cristina-I need to be prepared. Jen-Prepared for what? We're only gonna b there for like four days. Cristina-I know, but I just wanna make sure I bring everything that I need. Do you think I need anything else? Jen(sacastically)-Yeah. Cristina- Can you get me another suitcase? Jen-I was kidding, here I'll help you. Cristina- Do you think it's too late to call the guys? Jen looked at her watch-It's only 10:00 they should be up. Cristina picked up her phone and dialed Frankie's number. ~~~~~ Frankie, Greg, Chris, Matt, and Jesse awoke to the phone ringing. Frankie got out of bed and wobbled over to his computer desk where his chordless phone was. Frankie(in a low, tired, voice)-Hello? Cristina- Hey baby! Did I wake you up? Frankie-Kinda. Cristina-Sorry, but I couldn't wait to tell you, my parents said Jen and I could go!! Frankie-That's awesome!! Do you know if the others are going too? Cristina-Jen and I didn't call them yet. Do you wanna 3-way Megan and ask? Frankie-Aiight. Cristina-Hold on. She clicked over and dialed Megan's number, then clicked back over to Frankie. Megan-Hello? Cristina-Hey! Are you allowed to go to Cali? Megan- Yeah!!!! Are you and Jen going? Cristina- Yeah!! This is gonna be so much fun!! Megan- Yeah, we're gonna have a blast! Cristina-I emptied out my closet cause I didn't wanna leave anything behind. Megan-Same here. I want everything to be perfect cause we will be with the most perfect guys!! Cristina-I know right!! Megan- Do you know if Britt's coming too? Cristina-Nope, I didn't call her yet. Frankie-Are you guys done yet? Cristina-Sorry Frankie, I forgot. Meg, do you think I should bring my portable Cd player? I don't know if there will be one in the hotel. Megan-Bring it just in case, and bring tons of CDs. Cristina-Alright, then I'm ready to go. Megan-Wait, was that Frankie on the phone before? Cristina-Yeah. Megan-Why didn't you tell me he was on the phone. Cristina-Oops, sorry. Megan-Hey Frankie!!!! Frankie-Are you guys done now? Cristina-Yeah, sorry. Frankie-It's aiight. Megan- So, how are we gonna do this tommorrow? Should we meet at the airport? Frankie explained to the girls that they were gonna meet at the airport at 1:30, then get lunch. They're gonna board the plane at 2:45. Frankie gave them his cell phone number in case they couldn't find eachother. Megan- Do you want to four-way Brittany? They agreed. Megan clicked over. Cristina- Should we bring bathing suits? Frankie-Yeah, we'll go in the ocean, and in the hotel we're staying at has a pent house with a pool and hot tub. Cristina- Okay, my closet is like empty. Frankie(laughing)-Why? Cristina-I just wanted to be sure to bring everything. Frankie-We're gonna be there for 4 days. Cristina-I know, I know. Megan clicked back over and it started ringing. Brittany-Hello? Cristina-Hey Britt. Brittany-Hey Cristina, are you going to California? Cristina-Yup, are you? Brittany-Yeah! My mom was pretty cool with the idea. Cristina-What about your dad? Brittany-My mom is gonna talk him into the idea, she's very persuasive. Cristina-True. Brittany-Is Megan coming too? Cristina-Yeah, she's on the phone and so is Frankie. Brittany-Hey guys! Megan and Frankie-Hey. Frankie-I'm gonna go to sleep cause I'm gonna pack in the morning. Night. Megan, Brittany, and Cristina-Bye. Frankie-Love you Cristina. Cristina-Love you too. Frankie hung up but the girls talked for a few hours then fell asleep. ~~~~~The Next Day~~~~~~ It was 12 o'clock and the girls met at Cristina and Jen's house with their luggage ready to go to the airport. They hung out until 12:45 then left for the airport. ~~~~~ The guys finished packing, then left to got to the airport ten minutes to one o'clock. They arrived at the airport at 1:20. Chris-Call one of the girls and find out where they are. Frankie took out his cell phone and called Cristina's cell. She picked up after two rings. Cristina-Hey Frankie. Frankie-Hey, how did you know it was me? Cristina-Cause I have you in my phone book, and when you call your name pops up. Frankie-What name did you put in for me? Cristina-Frankie. Frankie-Right, that makes sense. Cristina-Why? Frankie-Nevermind. So, where are you guys? Cristina-We're pulling up to the entrance, we should be there in like five minutes. We are we meeting you guys? Frankie-TGIF. Do you know where that is? Cristina-Yeah, I'll see you there.Bye. Frankie-Bye. *Click*Click* The guys walked to TGIF's and waited for their table to be ready, they were looking at menus while they waited. The girls found the guys and walked over to them. The guys didn't notice they were there, Brittany-Oh my gosh, look at those guys, what do they think they are cool cause they have sunglasses or something? The girls laughed and the guys looked up. Chris(sounding hurt)-You don't like the shades? Megan-I love 'em! Brittany was only kidding. They all greeted eachother with hugs and kisses. Lady-Ballinger Party of 9, your table is ready. They followed a waitress to their table and sat down. Jen-I thought your parents and everybody was coming. Jesse-Not on the flight, they're already there, they went last night. Cristina-Cool. They ordered, ate, then left the resturant the time they were planning to board the plane. They sat in first class, and were the only ones in there. They put their luggage above their seats in the big cubbies (they brought all their luggage on the plane so they wouldn't loose anything). Cristina-This is nice. Frankie-You've never been in first class before? Cristina-I've never been on a plane before. Jen, Megan, and Brittany-Same here. A stewardest came up to them. Stewardest-Hello. My name is Rachel, if you guys would like a beverage or food or anything just buzz the buzzer button on the ceiling above every seat. Greg-Thanks. She left. Jesse-This is gonan be fun! i'll entertain you guys with my magic tricks! He took out a deck of cards. Chris-No thanks. Him and Megan sat in their seats and started making out. Greg-Maybe later Jester. Greg and Jen sat in their seats and started talking and Brittany and Matt followed them. Frankie-Come on Cristina, let's watch a movie. Cristina-But Jesse would be all alone. Jesse frowned. Frankie- So. The plane started and everyone was asked to sit down and buckle their seat belts. Cristina-We'll just watch a few magic tricks, it's no big deal. Frankie rolled his eyes-Fine. Jesse-Okay, now for my first trick, that I, Jesse the Magician will perform is for you (he pointed to Cristina). Pick a card. Jesse held out a deck of cards in his hand. Cristina picked a card. Jesse-Now, show your card to Frankie. Frankie did as he was told and looked at the card, it was the queen of spades. Jesse-Alright, now that you've looked at the card, place it back into the deck, anywhere you want. Frankie-Can I shove this up your- Cristina-Frankie! Frankie-Fine. He placed the card towards the end of the deck. Jesse shuffled the cards and picked up the top card. Jesse-Is this your card? He held up the 10 of hearts. Frankie-No. Jesse-Then is thiis your card? He held up the King of diamonds. Frankie-No. Jesse pulled out another card, then another, etc. He kept picking the wrong cards until there was one card left . Jesse-Now, was this your card? He held up the Queen of spades. Cristina-Yup. Frankie-It only took you long enough. Cristina elbowed Frankie. Cristina-It was a good trick. Jesse-Wanna see another one? Frankie-Nooo..Cristina and I would like to be alone. Jesse-Oh..I see. Then I'll just leave... He started to walk to another seat sadly. Cristina-Frankie, that was really mean. Frankie-He's used to it. Cristina-I feel bad, he's all alone. Frankie-He should've brought somebody it's not my fault. Cristina-Well, I'm telling Jesse to come back over here. Frankie-Fine, while you do that I'll go to the bathroom. Frankie got up and went to the bathroom outside of first class, to the back end of the plane. Cristina called Jesse over, and Jesse took Frankie's seat sitting next to Cristina. Jesse-Is it okay with Frankie that I'm here? Cristina-Yeah, I'm sure he's fine with it. -10 minutes pasted- Cristina-I wonder what's taking Frankie so long, Jesse-There might be a line for the bathroom. Jesse and Cristina talked for another 40 minutes about school, ex boyfriends and girlfriends, family, hobbies, etc. It turned out they had a lot in common and got a long really well. Jesse-I was going out with this girl Vanessa for two months. I really liked her, but she dumped me three days ago cause she was going out with an older guy that she would rather be with. She told me that they've been going out for four months and only used me cause he was on vacation for the past two months. Cristina-I think you deserve better than that hoe. Jesse-Thanks, can you do me a favor and not tell the guys about why Vanessa dumped me? Cause I don't like to talk aboutt hat kind of stuff with them. Cristina-Why did you tell me> You've only known me for a few days. Jesse-Girls are easier to talk to about that kind of stuff cause they give you better advice for next time. And I think that we get along really good and stuff. I know that you're going out with Frankie and everything but I think you should know that- Jesse was cut off because Frankie came running in through the first class door out of breath. He hurridly shut the dorr and locked it. His shirt was ripped all over the place and his hair was messed up. He had lipstick all over hisface in differents lip shapes and colors, and he had cut all over his arms and on his back. Everyone came running to him. Chris-What happened to you? Frankie(still out of breath)-Don't...know..girls...surrounded..floor..kissing..shoving...scratching... Megan-Maybe you should sit down. They helped Frankie sit down, and gave him some room to breathe. Greg-Aiight, now tell us what happened. Frankie-I was just about to walk into the bathroom, but these two teenage girls came up to me and asked for my autograph and to take a few pictures with me.Then, this crowd of girls surrounded me, they started pushing eachother to get to me. The next thing I knew was that I was on the floor and tried to get away from them. They found me trying to get away and started pulling at my shirt, kissing me, and scratching me; but I think they scratched me on accident cause they were trying to get to my shirt. I didn't think I was gonna get out of there alive. Jen-Are you okay? Frankie-Yeah, I'm just a little scratched up, no big deal. Cristina-Hun, your bleeding. Frankie looked at his arm-Ahh!! Where did that huge thing come from?!? Megan-That doesn't look like the only cut on you. Frankie-WHERE ARE ALL THESE CUTS COMING FROM!?!?! Matt started buzzing the button so the stewardest would come to them to help. A stewardest came walking in. Stewardest-Yes. Matt-Hey! You're not Rachel. Can you bring Rachel in here. Stewardest-I know, I'm Carol, Rachel is busy with something, I'll be at your service. Matt-I don't think so, see I like Rachel, so can you please get her in here. Stewardest (starting to get annoyed)-I can't she's busy. Chris-Who cares if that isn't Rachel!!!??Carol can you help my friend, he has all these cuts on him. Carol-I'll get the first aid kit. Everyone looked at Matt. Matt-What? I wanted Rachel, Carol is too old. Carol came walking back into where they were all surrounding Frankie. She fixed Frankie's gash on his arm then walked away. Greg-Dude, you look like a mummy. Frankie-Thanks, I appreciate your concern. Cristina, can you do me a favor and get me a new shirt. Cristina-Sure. Frankie was attempting to take off his shirt without hurting his bandaged arm. Frankie-Stupid shirt! Brittany-why don't you just rip it off? I don't think you'll be able to wear that again with all ripes in it. Frankie-I like the way you think. He ripped off his shirt. Chris-Yo Frankie, guess what I found. Frankie-What? Chris-A bathroom! He pointed to the door on the side of where they were. Frankie-Well, thanks for telling me now. Chris-How didn't you see it? It has big writing on the door saying, "BATHROOM." Frankie-I wasn't paying attention, I had other things on my mind. He looked over at Cristina, who was geting out a shirt while Jesse helped her with finding one. He saw them laughing together. Matt-Are you okay Frankie? Frankie-Huh? Uh, yeah, I'm fine. Why would you think anything was wrong? Cause everything is fine. Jen-Something's wrong. Frankie-No, I'm fine, really. Cristina and Jesse came over with a new shirt for Frankie. Cristina-Do you need help putting it on? Frankie-Yeah, thanks. Cristina helped put Frankie's shirt on. The couples each sat sown next to eachother and fell asleep in eachother's arms. Jesse-Well, I guess that's it with Jesse The Magician. Jesse walked over to one of the Tvs and put in the movie Titanic while everyone else fell asleep. After hours pasted their trip to California was almost over and Jesse was still watching titanic in suspense. Jesse-Please, Jack don't die! Don't die! ~~~~~A few seconds later~~~~~ He stood up, and started hitting the Tv screen. Jesse-NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why the hell did you let go! damn you Rose! ~~~~~10 minutes Later~~~~~ Jesse-That was a great movie! He looked around to find everyone still sleeping Jesse-How long have you people been sleeping? .:Pause:. Jesse-Why am I talking to myself? One of the stewardest's' spoke on the intercom. Stewardest-Welcome to sunny California, we hope that you have fun and enjoy the sun! Thank you for choosing out airline. Please get off at the nearest exit, don't forget to take any luggage you brought on the plane. thank you and have a nice day, well, night. Jesse-Okay, people wake up. He started tapping on Brittany's shoulder. Jesse-Come on Britt, wake up. Brittany slapped him across his face while she was turning her head. Jesse-Oww! Brittany opened her eyes to find Jesse holding onto his cheek. Brittany-Jesse, what happened to your cheek? It's bright red! Jesse-Well, you just slapped me. Brittany-Oh! I'm sorry, I have a tendancy to do that kind of stuff in my sleep. Jesse-Ohh..well that's kind of weird, but we hafta wake everyone else up, we're here. Brittany-Okay. Brittany kissed Matt on the cheek. Matt still had his eyes closed. Matt-That was good, but can I get one on the lips Jackie baby? Brittany-JACKIE! WHO THE HELL IS JACKIE!!?? Matt opened his eyes. Matt-What? Brittany-You just called me Jackie! Matt-Oh, sorry. Brittany-So who's Jackie!?! Matt-My cousin. Brittany-So you LIKE to kiss your cousin Jackie? That's so disgusting! Matt-No, wait, I'm confused! Jesse woke everyone up, they grabbed all thir luggage. Megan-I have to call my parents and tell them I'm off the plane. Greg-Call them when we get into our limo. They found their limo driver holding a sign that said "DS and Girls." Chris-Are you our limo driver? Driver-I believe so. If you are a member of a band called Dream Street with 4 other guests. Greg-Yup, that's us. Driver-Alright, follow me. They followed their driver into their limmo.They got settled in and their driver drove them to their hotel. Megan took out her cell phone and called her parents and Greg called his mom. While they were on the phone... Chris, Jen, Frankie, Matt, and Brittany talked, and Jesse and Cristina sang along to the Linkin Park CD. Chris-Frankie, why haven't you and Cristina talked since the plane ride before your incident? Frankie-I don't know, she's kind of been ignoring me lately. Jen-Well..she's been through A LOT with relationships, maybe she just needs some space for now. Frankie-What do you mean? Jen-I don't wanna be the one to tell you, whenever Cristina is ready she'll tell you. Frankie-Aiight. They arrived at the hotel 20 minutes later. Matt-Hey, we got a nicer hotel than last time! Greg-Sweet! They got out of the limo and went into the lobby. A bellhop helped them with their luggage. They got two rooms; room 546 and 547. They got rooms that had an intersecting door so that they could walk into eachother's room without walking into the hallway. They took the elevator up to the fifth floor, they found Mrs. Raposo infront of their rooms. Greg greeted his mom. Mrs. Raposo-OKay, one of these rooms is for the girls and the other is for the boys. We trust you but not that much. Well, the rooms are your pick. Unpack and at 9:30 be downstairs to meet us for a late dinner. There is a mall on the two bottom floors. We'll be going to the Cheesecake Factory. I'll see you guys in less than an hour. Bye. Oh, and my room is just down the hall, so if you need us we're in room 530. She went back to her room down the hall. Frankie-Girls, you can pick your room. Megan-Come on guys. They left their luggage outside with the guys as they checked out both rooms. After 10 minutes of deciding they told the guys they would pick the room on the right (room 547). They all walked into their new rooms for the next four days and unpacked. The guys finished unpacking first so they went into the girl's room. Chris-Hey! You guys picked a better room. Matt-they're both the same. Jesse-No, they're not, they have a bigger TV, and everything is on the opposite side of the room than ours, it makes it look bigger and nicer. Frankie-Yeah, your right, oh well. Greg-Are you girls almost ready? Megan-Almost! Jesse-We'll be in the Tv room. The guys sat down on the couch and turned on the TV and Chris started flipping through the channels while the girls finsihed unpacking. As Chris was flipping through the channels... Greg-They get porn in here!!! Frankie-Do we get that in our room? Greg got up and went into their room and started flipping through the channels while the other guys followed him. Greg-Stupid TV! Matt-We don't get it? Greg-Nope. Jesse-I want their room. Chris-So they get a nicer room, and in their room they get porn. While we get nothing. Frankie-You guys it's 9:30 we hafta get downstairs. Frankie walked into the girl's bedroom to find the girls sleeping on their beds. Frankie walked over to the guys. Matt-Are they ready? Frankie-They're sleeping. The guys went over to the bedroom and walked in. Greg-Should we wake them up? Jesse-If we wake them up, I call not waking up Brittany! Frankie-Let's just leave them sleeping, we'll just go to dinner. The guys left the girl's room and went downstairs to the lobby where they met Edel producers, Claudia, and their parents. ~~~~~ Cristina (still in her bed)-Are they gone? Brittany-Yup, I think so. The girls got out of bed. They started walking out the door. Jen-Okay, let's go shopping! Cristina-Wait, what time do the stores close? Megan walked over to the table in the TV room where there was a list of times everything opened and closed. Megan-Mid-night. The girls walked out of their room and went down to the first floor and started their shopping. ~~~~~ Mrs. Galasso-Where are the girls? Jesse-Slepping. Frankie-They fell asleep while they were unpacking. Bernie-Okay, well maybe next time they can come, we have reservations we have to keep, so let's go. They arrived at the Cheesecake Factory on the second floor. They got their table, ordered, and ate. Kevin-Don't forget we have a concert from 2 PM until 9 PM. tomorrow. Chris-Our concert is gonna be 7 hours long? Bernie-No, there will be other performers like; Jessica Simpson, 3LW, Aaron Carter, Lil Romeo, Gimme5, 3rd Faze, Mandy Moore, and others. Matt-Cool. Mrs.Trousdale-Where is it going to be? Claudia-the beach, and that's about five minutes from here. Kevin-Be ready at 12 because we have to do a sound check and go over all of the music your going to be performing. If you want the girls you brought can have backstage passes and they can meet the rest of the acts too. Greg-I'm sure they'd wanna come. They left the Cheesecake Factory at around 11. ~~~~~ The girls were walking passed a Florist shop and went inside to find four guys checking them out. Brittany-Whoah. Megan-Oh my... The guys approached them. Guy-I don't believe I've seen you guys here before. Jen-We just came here today. Guy-Are you from around here? Megan-Nowhere near. Brittany-We're from New York. Guy-Well, I'm Mark and these are my friends Dennis, Drew, and Frank. They all talked for a while. Cristina-Do you think the guys are done yet? Megan-I totally forgot. Cristina-Umm..we have to go. Mark-Are we gonna see you guys again? Jen-Maybe. We're in room 547. Frankie-Wait, take these. He handed each girl a single rose. The girls said their thank-yous and left. The girls started walking towards the elevator, they heard a familiar voice coming from behind them. Chris-Lett's bring this cheesecake up for the girls. Brittany-They're coming back upstairs! What are we gonna do! Cristina-I have an idea! Follow me! They ran up five flights of stairs and they ran into their room, they threw their shopping bags in their closet and threw themselves in their beds. Just in time to hear a knock on the door. Jen got up and opened it. Chris-Hey! We brought you some cheesecake! Jen-Thanks, you guys can come in. They walked in their room . Chris walked over to their refridgerator. Greg talked to Jen about their concert they are having tomorrow. Frankie-Is everyone still sleeping? Jen-Yeah, they seemed really tired before. Greg-Aiight, we'll let you go back to sleep. He kissed her good-night, the rest of the guys said good-night and walked into their room. Jen walked back into the bedroom. Megan-they gone? Jen-Yeah. Brittany-Did they suspect anything? Jen-Nope. They brought cheesecake. Cristina-Uh, that's cool. We'll eat it tomorrow morning. The girls talked for an hour then went to sleep. ~~~~~ The guys changed then fell asleep.
