| The bus driver closes the door of the bus with a low menacing laugh. The Men of 98 degrees come face to face with The Boys of Backstreet. Drew: Hey, how�s it going? Saw you on TRL today, #1 again. Shoot, how do you guys keep doing that? Gotta pact with the devil or what ( Drew gives a nervous chuckle like he was just joking, his other band mates give him a shove. BSB just smile at him) Brian: Please have a seat, make your selves comfortable there is still another 45 minutes before we come the next town. Justin (As he sits): You guys don�t have a concert in the next town, we do, so what are you doing here anyway? AJ: Don�t you know by now, we are everywhere. (He gives the same kind of crazy laugh that he does in the beginning of Larger Than Life.) Jeff: Take it easy Bud, you�re gonna bust a vein or something. Drew looks over and notices that Howie D is looking at him. Drew: HEY! Are you winking at me!? Howie: NO! I swear, it�s just an annoying twitch. I can�t get rid of it. Drew: Yeah well, you keep winking at me and your gonna lose that eye. Kevin: You don�t understand�..the contract we have gave us untold fortune and fame. But we each have our own price to pay for that success. Nick Lachey: No kidding? What? Kevin continues: Well, Howie has to live with his annoying twitch. I have to endure these eyebrows, Brian has to stay with LieghAnne, AJ will eventually be fully covered in Tatoos, and Nick��..stupidity was going to be his fate to endure, but he was already stupid so the big guy gave him�����..a Bubble Butt instead. The guys in Backstreet all nod their heads sadly in agreement with what Kevin had just stated. Kevin: So now you know what we mean in Larger Than Life when we say �there are prices to fame�. And now our Boss wants you to join too. Maybe your prices won�t be as hideous as ours. Drew: No way Bud, You can have TRL. I�m not going to grow those ridiculous eyebrows for any payoff. Tell your Boss we don�t want what he�s selling. We already have the bods, the girls and success. Your Boss ain�t nothin to us. The Backstreet boys all stand slowly in unison with their white faces and AJ�s crazy laughter echoing in 98 degrees ears. All 4 degrees huddle together in the middle of the bus and wait for the end. Suddenly the bathroom door flies open and a bright light is seen with a figure standing in it. 98 degrees scream together as they look at the hideous figure standing in the doorway! Nick Carter: WHAT!!!! All of the Backstreet Boys start laughing and start slapping 98 degrees on backs. Brian: Man, we really had you guys going!!!!!! You fell for the whole deal. The degrees of 98 all look at eachother in confusion and then back at the BSB Nick Lachey: What the heck are you talking about???????? What do you mean you had us going?????? Howie: Man, we were filming our new video Show Me the Meaning, when we saw you guys out in the rain. So we got this plan together and you guys played right into it. AJ: (Laughing) Yeah, and Lou showing up made it perfect. Of course that jerk always shows up when there is a group of vulnerable young guys. Must have thought he could take advantage of your situation. Go figure. Kevin: See, here is the video we just taped of you guys. We are going to send it into America�s funniest Home Video�s. Ha, you guys were so funny. 98 degrees all look at each other in amazement. Then Back at Kevin holding the tape. Jeff: So, you really think we are going to let you off this bus with that tape. Don�t count on it Unibrow. Jeff, Justin, Nick L, and Drew all go after Kevin to get the tape back as Kevin throws it to another one of the BSB and on and on and on. So as the bus cruises into town a little after 4 a.m. you see total mayhem on the bus between 2 of the best �boybands� around. And in Boyband Land what else is new? |
