Disclaimer: ok! Well the only thing in this story I don't own is the s club. Everything else is my own material from my own head!
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.

::Paul and Rachel in Nairobi::

They have finished watching the tape S Club: Past and Present and are currently getting ready for the day they have tomorrow. Rachel is in her bed listening to her Walkman with only one earphone in so she can hear anything Paul says to her and Paul is just getting inside his bed.

Paul: So, what did you think of that video?

Rachel: It was good; I think I still need to brush up my interview skills. It is funny watch the past, seeing the mistakes and reliving moments.

Paul: Yeah, we have had some great times since we got together.

Rachel: We have also come a long way since we first formed. We are much better performers.

Paul: Yeah, I noticed that your voice got a lot better really quickly.

Rachel nodded in thanks. She hadn't told anyone yet why her voice improved so much so she could see what people would say when it improved and if it improved. She now knew it had improved thanks to a bit of coaching.

Rachel: Yeah, Johnny helped me improve my voice. He coached me when I wasn't feeling confident with it.

Paul: That was nice of him.

Paul was beginning to hate hearing Johnny's name mentioned all the time when it came to the band. At first it was all right but the public had soon picked favourites. He knew looks wise with the girls he matched Johnny. However, since Back To You had been released he had faded slightly as Johnny got praise from the press for the song he wrote and how he sung it. Also as Johnny became more confident he had begun showing his dancing moves and voice a lot more. Also Bradley started getting a lot of attention thanks to confidence, which Johnny gave to him. He wouldn't mind, apart from the fact the girls within the band all seemed to like Johnny more than they liked him.

Rachel: Is something wrong Paul?

Paul: I'm with one of the best-looking girls in the world! I'm great.

For some reason, that felt like the right thing to say at that moment. Since they had arrived Paul wanted nothing more than to be with Rachel. Maybe his feelings for Hannah weren't as rock solid as he had thought. If only he could just tell Rachel he felt this way but Rachel had Jeremy. She wouldn't be interested in him.

Rachel: One of the best looking single girls in the world.

Rachel waited for the reaction she was hoping for. Paul didn't disappoint as he suddenly perked up quickly but then realized how obvious he must look and tried to play it cool. To late because she noticed! For some reason she felt attracted to Paul. The way he acted just seemed so attractive and he defiantly had the looks. She always wondered what Paul would be like in a relationship and it looked like she may have a chance to find out.

Paul: Single?

Rachel: Yeah, I broke up with Jeremy like a month ago, we just felt like our relationship wasn't going any further.

Rachel hated lying, but she just wanted to continue with her life, she had put it behind her and wanted to move on and she knew that wouldn't happen if she told Paul or the rest of S Club what truly happened.

Paul: Why didn't you tell any of us? You even said you where spending a weekend with him before we came out here.

Rachel: I just wanted to be alone. So I said it so Jon and Tina wouldn't stay at my place.

Paul: Fair play!

Rachel: I love it when you say that.

Paul: Fair play?

Rachel: Don't ask me why, I just do.

Paul had never felt this happy or confident like he suddenly did right now. He felt it was time to just share his feelings.

Paul: Is that all you love about me?

Rachel: There are plenty of things I love about you. Why?

Rachel smiled innocently which just drove Paul to say what he was feeling.

Paul: Well, I just wondered if you loved as many things about me as I love about you?

Rachel: I don't think that is possible.

Paul: I think it is.

Paul had now moved onto Rachel's bed and their faces where inches away. Paul smiled seductively as he leant in and their lips drew closer until they met. Nothing had ever felt so destined as this moment did for the both of them. Passion took over as Rachel leant back pulling Paul down on top of her and begun stroking her hands through his hair. His hands moved to her hips. That night they lay together wrapped in each other's arms not worrying about anything at all.

::Jon and Stacey in Stacey's room::

The door to Stacey's room opened as Stacey walked in leading Jon in. He looked around the room and set eyes on the bed. He walked over to it any sat down on it. Stacey shut the door and locked it.

Jon: Can I use your phone?

Stacey: Why?

Jon: So I can call Tina and tell her where I am and to cover for me if they come round tomorrow early in the morning and don't find me there.

Stacey: Go ahead, wouldn't want you to get in trouble.

Jon got up of the bed and walked over to the phone. He dialled Tina's room and waited for her to pick up.

Tina: Hello!

Jon: Hi, it's Jon. I am calling to say I won't be back tonight so could you cover for me tomorrow morning.

Tina: Sure but I don't appreciate being left on my own all night.

Jon: Thanks; I'll see ya later!

Tina: Bye!

Jon puts the phone down and looks over at Stacey. She smiles at him and they sit on the bed together.

Jon: Thanks for the great evening. To be honest I really needed to find someone like you.

Stacey: Well I'm glad you found me. Real glad!

Stacey leans in and kisses Jon on the lips. They put their heads together and look deep into each other's eyes.

Jon: I don't want to make you do anything you don't want to do.

Stacey: Don't worry, you won't!

Jon smiles. He can' believe how lucky he is to have found Stacey right when he thought his love life was virtually over. Stacey pushed Jon down on the bed and they started to kiss slowly and passionately as Stacey begun kissing Jon's neck as his hands roamed over he body.

::Tina in her room::

Tina put the phone down and got back into her bed as she continued to watch the TV. She had been watching the S Club: Past and Present! She kept watching Johnny's part over and over again. It must have been about the 15th time since she begun watching the video. She loved the way he looked, the way he talked and the way he was always calm. His smile was what affected her most and it didn't help that Johnny was nearly always smiling. She had regretted not telling Johnny how she felt before they left. In fact she had questioned several times to call and tell him but decided face-to-face would be better. Once again she watched Johnny's interview talking about her.

"Tina, well she's just great! She can be serious and she can have a laugh. She can dance as well as anyone I know, apart from break dancing but I could teach her that couldn't I? She caught onto acting really quickly and she has a better voice than she realizes. She is one of the easiest people to talk to and is down to earth. She is always helping us with dance moves and so on. She's one of a kind."

She decided not to watch it again and instead let it carry on as it showed pictures and cuts out of scenes when Johnny was with other members of the group while they where filming Miami 7. Miami 7 was painful, having to see Johnny slim body in the sun. Her face lit up when it showed pictures of her and Johnny. Pictures like Johnny with his wet arms wrapped around her. Then it started playing the music for Back to You showing a number of performances focusing on Johnny. Something about the way he performed always made her think he was singing about her. The other girls also agreed that it sounded like the only person he was singing to was yourself. She felt so proud of Johnny. He had the ability and since he gained his confidence it really shined through. She suddenly needed to talk to someone. She didn't want to call Jon in case he was a bit busy with Stacey. Jo had left her mobile so she picked up the phone and dialled a number.

Johnny: Hello?

Tina: Johnny, why are you in Hannah's room?

Johnny: Hi Tin. Bradley is watching Brazil play football so Hannah and I are keeping each other company. How have you been?

Tina: Bored out of my head. Jon is with some girl he met today and Jo is camping out with a tribe or something. I am on my own! How about you?

Johnny: I have been all right. Tomorrow were all going bungee jumping and also I'm water skiing, which should be cool. Today we just hang out on a beach. So did you want to talk to Hannah?

Tina: Please.

Tina can hear Johnny call Hannah and then she hears Hannah reply and run into the room.

Hannah: Hi Tin.

Tina: Hi Spanner. How have you been?

Hannah: Cool, what about you?

Tina: I had a good time earlier but now I am on my own.

Hannah: So what did you call for?

Tina: I just needed to talk to someone about Johnny.

Hannah paused for a bit and then replied after the silence.

Hannah: Sure, no problem.

Tina: Has he found anyone in Brazil?

Hannah: If you mean a girlfriend then no, although he has been offered twice.

Tina: Really?

Hannah: Calm down, he hasn't looked at another girl. He has however talked about you.

Tina: What did he say?

Hannah: He told me he told you how he felt and you didn't give him an answer before he left. What's up with that?

Tina: I don't know, I guess I was in shock. My answer is pretty obvious though.

Hannah: Cool, I'll get him so you can tell him.

Tina: No, I want to tell him face to face. Don't tell him before then okay. And try to keep him away from anyone else.

Hannah: Sure thing.

Tina: Well in that case I'll talk to you later okay.

Hannah: Okay, later.

Tina hangs the phone up and looks at the TV, which has a still picture of Johnny smiling with his arms crossed. She smiles and leans back onto her bed.

::Johnny and Hannah in Hannah's room::

Hannah has just hung up the phone and looks around the room. Johnny must be in the kitchen or something, as she can't see him. She feels really bad now after the call from Tina. How could she feel this way about the guy one of her best mates has fallen for? She wasn't even supposed to feel like this as she had Paul. Johnny walked into the room and sat down on the bed next to Hannah's. There had been a mistake in the booking and she had a double room. Johnny looked over at the clock. It read 12:30am. It was later than he thought. Then again time flies when you are having fun.

Johnny: I better go back to my room seeing how late it is.

Suddenly a crash is heard outside followed by some men raising their voices and what seems to be a fight. Johnny looks out the window down onto the street. It is two men, probably drunk. He walks away from the window.

Johnny: I'll be off then!

Hannah: Don't go!

Johnny turned around, quite surprised by the sudden outburst. Hannah realized it sounded very desperate, too desperate for a friend to a friend. She quickly tried to get out of the situation.

Johnny: Is there a problem?

Hannah: Yeah, I would feel a lot better if you slept in here tonight.

Johnny: Why?

Hannah: You promise not to laugh?

Johnny: Promise!

Hannah: Well, I am scared!

Johnny: Scared?

Hannah: I am not used to the noises outside. I am used to living in Norfolk and it is not like this there.

Johnny smiles and sits down on the other bed again.

Hannah: Why are you smiling?

Johnny: When you said don't go, I thought you were saying it cause you wanted to spend the night in bed with me. Stupid of me wasn't it?

Hannah: Yeah. So are you going to stay?

Johnny: Sure, I remember my first night in Brazil. I felt the same way in fact so don't worry about it.

Hannah had already got ready to go to sleep. Johnny took of his shirt and trousers in front of Hannah. It reminded her of Miami 7 when she had to look at Johnny like this. It got her all hot inside so she tried to look away.

Johnny: Well goodnight then Han.

Hannah: Goodnight!

Hannah tried to go to sleep but the noises outside did actually begin to freak her out. She thought she had just made it up. Even though Johnny was in the room with her she still didn't feel comfortable. Suddenly a louder crash than before made her jump and gasp. Johnny had not yet fallen asleep and saw how Hannah reacted. She was actually physical shaking now. He got out of his bed and lifted the covers of Hannah's and got in, putting his arms around Hannah and holding her.

Johnny: It's all right! I'm here!

Hannah: But what about Tina?

Johnny: What about her? It isn't like we are doing anything but sharing a bed.

Hannah felt better when he said that and she stopped worrying about the noises. She felt safe in Johnny's arms and couldn't get over how lucky she was that this happened. She didn't even plan it and now she was in Johnny's arms and it felt so right, so natural. His warm body and smooth skin, she had never felt so comfortable in her life. She feel asleep in his arms and dreamt dreams that night which could only be dreams for now.
