Disclaimer: ok! Well the only thing in this story I don't own is the s club
and a lot of songs will be taken from other artists because I like them. Everything
else is my own material from my own head! Thanks to Stacey/Spanner for the majority
of questions!
Spoilers: For story writing purposes I have added another member to the band
S Club 7. In this fanfic I will refer to the band as S Club. One of S Club will
come out as a bad guy in this story and looking around on the net, it is probably
a one of the more popular members. I have added the enrolment of the 8th Member
before I begin the actual fanfic. The timeline will be changed to suit the story
at certain times. I am thinking about raising the rating on this fic because
the original plan and this plan that I have now would both be better if they
were a bit more graphic and had use of swear words. Leave what you think on
reviews all though I don't seem to be getting as many now as I used to.
::S Club's house in London::
Reporters surrounded the house as they waited hoping to get a few words with
Johnny from S Club over his signing with another record label. It had been in
the major newspapers this morning and on news channels the night before. They
were eager to find out the truth and so were some S Club fans as they also waited
to hear from him. As they waited, their attention was suddenly taken away from
the S Club house. A very expensive looking blue Mercedes convertible pulled
into the driveway of the S Club house. Inside the car, turning off the engine
was none other than England's most successful actress Stacey. She put on her
shades and then stroked her hair back and stepped out of the car. Reporters
were immediately surrounded her. She smiled her fake pretending to be polite
smile.
Stacey: Can I help you guys?
Reporter: We were just wondering why you are here at the S Club's house?
Stacey: Well my boyfriend is living here at the moment! Isn't that reason enough?
Reporter 2: Yes, of course it is. I just wondered if you heard the news?
Stacey: Well seeing as I've been in America, I doubt I would know the news as
I've just got back.
Reporter: I believe he is referring to Johnny signing on with Sean "P. Diddy"
Combs record label.
Stacey: No, I hadn't heard! Now if you we please excuse me, I have someone I
need to talk to.
Stacey quickly walks past the reporters and a wave to some of the fans before
she uses the key Jon gave her and enters the house. It's virtually empty, as
she had expected, as it was still early in the morning. However she was sure
one of two of the S Club guys would be up. Unfortunately it wasn't the one she
really wanted to see. Sitting in the kitchen eating a bowl of cereal was the
newest Bad Boy acquisition. He looked up at her and smiled.
Johnny: Hi Stacey! Welcome back home. Jon's upstairs asleep I believe.
Stacey: Okay, but I want to talk to you first!
Johnny: I didn't do it, honest!
Stacey: So you haven't signed with a new record label?
Johnny: Oh yeah, I've done that!
Stacey: But what about S Club, how can you leave them when they are the biggest
band in England and one of the biggest in America?
The look of surprise told Stacey right away that Johnny had no intention of
leaving the band.
Johnny: I've got know idea what your talking about. I am not leaving S Club,
not for a few years yet anyway.
Stacey: I don't get it though, how can you still be with S Club but have a deal
with another record company.
Johnny: Well I renegotiated my contract with Simon so I could sign with another
record label if I so wanted when I decided to begin a solo career but not leave
S Club. This would also mean I could work with anyone in that label I signed
with without having to go through all the legal stuff. My contract with Bad
Boy Inc isn't a solo contract but just a contract that allows me to sing with
anyone in the Bad Boy Inc label. I signed because G- Dep wanted to me to rap
in his next song so I did. I'm still a member of S Club.
Stacey: That's good to hear, I though I might have to slap some sense into you.
They both laughed as Jon came down the stairs.
Jon: You know they have loads of reporters outside, oh my god Stacey!
Jon and Stacey quickly ran to each other and hugged before engaging in a kiss.
A quite long and loving kiss!
Johnny: Please, I'm eating here!
Jon: Don't complain, I've had to watch you and Hannah do this for ages without
seeing Stacey.
Stacey: How have you been honey?
Jon: Not as great as I am now! So how did the movie go, End of Innocence right?
Stacey: Yeah, it was good. Quite fun actually! Chris Tucker was really funny!
Jon: Cool, I can't wait to see it.
Johnny: Neither can I!
Silence for a while, apart from Johnny munching on his cornflakes.
Jon: Want some tea Stace?
Stacey: Please! So Johnny, what are you going to do about the press outside?
Johnny: Ignore them until the press conference this afternoon!
Jon: But we have rehearsals all day today.
Johnny: Not anymore. We have the morning off and a press conference this afternoon.
Stacey: Do you think I could come along because my agent says I've got to get
publicity and it would be easier for me than getting my own press conference.
Johnny: I'll call Simon but I'm sure he'd like that. The press haven't really
seen you two together recently anyway. They'll eat it up!
Stacey: I hope so! I don't really like press conferences anyway.
Jon: It's just some fools asking silly questions. You'll get used to it.
::Press Conference::
One very big room, in fact a very boring looking room apart from one side of
the it which is covered in S Club signs. It is filled with many reporters sitting
and waiting for the S Club to arrive along with movie star Stacey. One man sitting
right at the front is talking on the phone, and a smile suddenly lights up on
his face as if he had just won the lottery. He hangs up and has a smug look
on his face as a 19 management representative steps out.
Representative: Here is S Club seven and Stacey Brook!
S Club and Stacey Brook alongside Jon walk out and one by one take their seats
in front of the massive audience of reporters. Johnny immediately sees a reporter
he doesn't like the look of and stares at him awhile, just getting a smug stare
back and then he sits down. The representative talks some more and then lets
the reporters begin asking questions.
Daily Mail: Well the obvious question has to be on your performance last night
Johnny with G-Dep and P. Diddy. After we heard that you had signed a contract
with G-Dep and P. Diddy's record label. Is this the beginning of your solo career
without S Club and why did you decide to perform that song with the two respective
rappers?
Johnny: Quite simple really! While we were in Hollywood filming the third TV
series I meet P. Diddy one night at a club. We talked and he said my voice would
suit his type of music and he also wondered if I could rap. I proved I could
rap to him and he said that whenever the S Club splits up, he would like me
to be part of his record label so he could use me in some of the Bad Boy Productions.
Seeing as my contract allows me to have sign with another record label for my
solo career I signed with his label. This is within my rights according to my
contract as long as it doesn't affect my work with S Club, which it won't. As
for why I performed that song with P. Diddy and G-Dep, well all three of us
worked on it and we decided that all three of us should perform it.
Daily Star: Bradley, are you still single?
Bradley: Yes, I am still single because as of yet I haven't found the right
women like Jon, Johnny or Paul. Not that I haven't been checking out my options.
The Sun: Jon, seeing as Stacey is now back in England after filming End of Innocence,
do you find it hard when she is actually away?
Jon: It's hard at times yes. As you know Paul and Rachel and Johnny and Hannah
are both couples and it reminds me of Stacey not being with me. Luckily S Club
keeps me very busy so it is only really bad when we are given time off and Stacey
is working.
The Sun: Do you also feel this way Stacey?
Stacey: Yes, all though when I am actually away I am kept very busy filming
the movies and so on so I suppose it isn't as hard for me. 19 management allows
me to stay with S Club when I have my time off so if I'm not working I'm normally
with Jon.
The Mirror: Paul, seeing as you have been with Rachel for quite some time now,
do you feel there is the possibility of you proposing soon to be wed?
Paul: I feel that is a possibility seeing as we have lasted as a couple so long
but I don't plan on asking anytime this year at least. But who knows things
can change!
News of The World: Johnny, when you joined the band did you find it hard to
fit in with a group which already had a tight bond with each other? Johnny:
I wouldn't say it was hard. I already made friends within the first few days.
I was afraid I wouldn't fit in at the beginning but they made me feel welcome.
And I knew Bradley from when we went to school together anyway.
The Sun: Seeing as you have gotten the Sexiest Women in Britain prize two years
in a row now, have you ever considered getting with the Sexiest Man in Britain
at anytime while you have both been in S Club?
Rachel couldn't hide the embarrassed smile that came on her face as Johnny turned
to look at her with a smile.
Rachel: Yes, I have thought about it before. But that was before Paul and I
became got together and before he was the Sexiest Man in Britain. Once he was
made a no go area I haven't had such thoughts.
Daily Mail: Tina, seeing as you have even got dancing degree's and are even
qualified to be a choreograher, did you ever find that you were pressured into
dancing or was it something you enjoyed doing and you wanted to be pushed?
Tina: Well dancing wasn't exactly my dream when I was a child but I got put
into a dancing class at a youngish age which could be considered being pushed
into it but I really enjoyed it and my family made sure I knew I could drop
it when I wanted so know, I wasn't pressured into it at all.
Daily Star: Why were you brought into the band in the first place Johnny because
originally this group was supposed to be a seven?
Johnny: Well it was supposed to be a seven and I wasn't in the original seven.
However Jon at one point didn't think he would actually be able to be in the
band and hence the found me to replace him. Then Jon found out he could be in
the band and they all went off to Italy. At first I was offered a solo career
but that wasn't what I wanted. So they waited until these guys came back from
Italy and introduced me to them as a new member. I had a week trial and if they
liked me, I stayed. Luckily they liked me.
Daily Star: Jon, if you did leave, do you think Johnny was a suitable replacement?
Jon: Do you mean a suitable replacement to fit in with the band or a suitable
replacement for me?
Daily Star: Both!
Jon: Well he was defiantly a suitable replacement to fit in the band. He has
the talent that was required and more and we all got on with him. If he is a
suitable replacement for me as in taking my place in the band, well he can do
flips and all that but he isn't as good at reaching the high notes like me.
We have very different styles of dancing, his style is more like Bradley's and
we have different voices. So he isn't really a replacement for me but a good
addition to the band if you get me!
The Daily Star reporter nodded.
The Mirror: Stacey, when you began dating Jon, did you have any idea you would
get a place on one of their shows and then impress the world so much that you
become a world famous actress?
Stacey: Yes, that's why I went out with him. Just joking! I didn't realize at
all, I thought it would just be like Jo and Lee are, that I would have a small
amount of fame just because I was dating someone famous. I never dreamed I would
become famous myself.
The Mirror: Speaking of you Jo, how are things going with you and Lee?
Jo: Well I might as well tell you all now because eventually you'll find out
anyway.
Jo holds up her hand showing off a ring to the crowd.
Jo: Lee and I are engaged and have actually been engaged for quite some time
but we still haven't come up with a date for the wedding. We are trying to wait
for the time that feels right for us!
The Sun: Hannah, did you realize that when you met Paul when you were younger
that both of you would end up in a pop group?
Hannah: Of course I didn't! I didn't even imagine being in a pop group anyway.
I was focusing on acting but this came up and I couldn't throw this kind of
chance away.
Daily Star: Back to Johnny, were you ever worried that the band wouldn't like
you when you joined and that you wouldn't be accepted?
Johnny: I was worried before I met them. I was really worried in fact but they
were all great and any worries disappeared because I felt like I was accepted
straight away.
The Sun: This is to Stacey and Jon, how did you two meet?
Jon: Well actually we meet while Tina, Jo and I were filming S Club Go Wild.
We meet at the mud baths.
The Sun: What were you two doing in the mud baths together?
Stacey: Your jumping the gun a bit mate. We weren't in the same one together.
If you remember the program then you will remember Tina and Jon filming part
of Jo's series in the mud bath together. I was on holiday in a mud bath nearby.
Jon: After that we went for dinner and found out we liked each other and that
is how we got together.
Daily Star: Johnny, when you first joined the band did you fancy any of the
girls?
Johnny: Your really interested in me aren't ya mate! Of course I did, they are
all beautiful girls and I fancied all of them at first.
Daily Star: Did you ever make a move on any of them?
Johnny: Obviously I did as I'm dating Hannah now.
The Mirror: With this new song with G-Dep and P. Diddy, does this mean you are
setting up your solo career?
Johnny: No way, I'm just having some fun with it that's all. It wasn't a serious
record and I don't feel any of us are bothered if it doesn't go to number one.
The Mirror: So your not worried even though no song you've had a hand in writing
has ever not gone to Number One. Don't you feel any pressure?
Johnny: The day I begin to feel pressure is the day I pack it in and wave goodbye
to this business.
The Sun: This is for everyone except Jon and Stacey! When you heard Jon might
be leaving and someone was going to replace him, what did you think?
Tina: Actually, we didn't know about this until after we came back from Italy.
Jon didn't tell us before and neither did Simon Fuller so we really didn't get
the chance to think about it anyway.
News of The World: Paul, in an old profile book of S Club Six Pack? Is that
because you work out a lot?
Paul: At the time I was working out a lot because I felt it was needed in this
line of business, otherwise you'll get reports on S Club's big belly or something.
In fact most of us worked out a lot in the beginning.
Daily Mirror: Bradley, could it be possible that you are secretly dating someone
and your just not telling us?
Brad: Defiantly! I mean I have lots of secret women you don't know about. Nah,
if I had a girl I would boast about it so I don't have any secret women.
Daily Mail: Paul, you were in a band at school, what were they called and what
type of music did you play?
Paul: Well it was called Skua and we played kind of metal rap at the time. It
was really known then but it seems to be more successful now. A bit like Rage
Against The Machine!
Daily Mail: Do you ever wish you stayed with them?
Paul: No, not now I'm in S Club. I love being in S Club and I would never consider
leaving and signing with another record label.
Johnny and the rest of them turned to look at Paul.
Daily Mail: Was that directed at Johnny, Paul?
Paul: No, I just miss phrased it!
The Mirror: Rachel, why did you dye your hair blonde?
Rachel: I just wanted a change really, and someone told me I would probably
look like just as good a blonde as I do a brunette and I wanted to see if they
were right.
The Mirror: Who was it and where they right?
Rachel: It was Johnny and I think he was right.
The Mirror: On rare days of, what do you like to get up to?
Rachel: Talk to the press of course. Just chill out really. Like catch up with
friends, go shopping and visiting my family.
The Mirror: And does being the sexiest woman in Britain effect dating?
Rachel: I wouldn't know, as I've been with Paul while I was voted sexiest woman
in Britain. I do get a lot more male attention though.
The Sun: Hannah, you're portrayed as the short one in the band, are you actually
that small?
Hannah: Well I am not the shortest in the band but it doesn't really bother
me that I am portrayed as short. It's probably got something to do with the
fact my boyfriend happens to be the tallest in the band.
The Sun: And in your life, what would you say is your most embarrassing moment?
Hannah laughed as a few other members of S Club did as well, knowing what Han
was going to say.
Hannah: Probably when I wrote into Jim'll fix it and asked if I could meet the
Care bears because I thought they were real. Luckily that was a long time ago
though.
News of the World: Tina, What were your first impressions of the band, and of
Johnny when he finally arrived?
Tina: Well my first impression was they all looked so young. And my first impression
of Johnny was that there was no way I was lucky enough to be able to work with
him.
News of the World: Jo, seeing as you obviously have a great voice, have you
ever considered going solo?
Jo: I'll consider it when S Club splits. Simple as that!
News of the World: And Brad, you're a great rapper and your into that kind of
music, do you ever see yourself going in that direction in the future?
Brad: If I were a great rapper, G-Dep would have talked to me and not Johnny.
Yeah, I enjoy that kind of music and I may go in that direction in the future
but I don't consider myself a great rapper.
News of the World: And Jon, being the youngest in the band, do you ever relies
on the others?
Jon: I did at the beginning because I was so new to it all but so were some
of the others. However Brad, Johnny and Jo all had some experience with it so
we sort of relied on them.
News of the World: And finally, Stacey! How have you found your transaction
from a normal ordinary girl into a famous actress?
Stacey: It wasn't very quick at first so it was all right. I got a bit of recognition
for my performances in S Club in Hollywood. But then suddenly I was getting
movie offers and at first it was very overwhelming. But I had these guys to
stand by me and they helped me get a good agent. So it wasn't as hard as I would
have thought.
Representative: Well if that is all then I believe this press conference is
officially..
Daily Star: Wait a minute? I have just one more question!
Representative: Okay, you can ask your question?
Daily Star: Okay, now is it true that you Johnny have actually been with more
than one member of S Club in a relationship, seeing as you fancied all the women?
In fact I don't know why I am asking like that. Is it not true that you dated
Tina before dating Hannah? Well I already know the answer because I have proof
that you either dated Tina or cheated on Hannah with her. I doubt you cheated
because I also have proof that Hannah dated Paul before dating you and Paul
dating Rachel. Do any of you care to deny it or tell me what has been going
on?
All of the members of S Club including Stacey looked at each other as the Daily
Star reporter smirked from result of the silence.
Daily Star: Looks like I am right doesn't it fellow reporters?
