�Wait, how�� Shannon started.
�Please girl.  You and Alexy are my closest friends.  Sides, I do know that glow.�  She just looked at me, wide eyed.  �I�ll tell ya later.  Night you two.�  I closed my door and want back to bed.  Howie wrapped his arm around my waist and kissed my neck.
�They�re back late,� he mumbled.
�That they are,� I said, sighing.
�What�s wrong?� he asked.  I just shook my head.  I turned over on my right side, my back against Howie�s chest.  �Theresa, hon, what�s wrong?�
�Nothing.  Just thinking about something.�  He left it at that, but I knew he wasn�t happy with that.  I turned in his arms and quickly kissed him.  �Really, nothing is wrong.  Just weird I�m here, doing what I dreamed.�  He smiled down at me and kissed me. 

�Good morning,� Shannon said, sitting down at the table, ready to eat breakfast.
�Good morning,� I said.  Everyone glanced up as AJ sat down, humming a little tune.  I quickly looked down, a smile on my face.
�What�s up?  Everyone is so happy,� Nick said.
�Hon, it�s just..it�s just a good day,� I replied.  He just smiled and nodded his head.  I excused myself and went to the hotel room.  I started packing up some clothes when someone started knocking on my door.  �Come in,� I called out. 
�Care to explain last night?� Shannon said, walking into the bedroom.
�What?  I told you, I know that glow.�
�Yeah, but��
�Shannon, I�m for sure not a virgin anymore.�
�Got ya.�
�Yeah, a little slow though.�
�Hey, so I had a blonde moment.�  I just looked at her and we started laughing.  All of a sudden, all the guys came into my room.
�Okay, why is everyone in my room?�
�We thought this was D�s room?� Brian said.  I just looked around and nodded my head.
�Fine, we ended up sharing a room anyways.�  The guys just nodded their heads, a smile on their faces.  �Oh, whatever,� I mumbled.

Two weeks later we were in England.  I glanced around the bus, everyone doing something.  �Hey Alexy,� I called out.
�What?�
�I need to go pick up a few things.  Wanna go?�
�Sorry Theresa, I made plans with Shannon.�  With that he got up and walked to the back of the bus.  �That�s odd,� I thought, �he always wants to go shopping and in the last week I�ve gone, he refused to go.�  I shrugged my shoulders and grabbed my bag.
�Anyone want to get off this bus and out to lunch?� I called out.  A few seconds later, Shannon came running through the door.
�Are you going shopping too?� she asked me.
�Yeah, why?�
�Oh, I want to go.  I don�t have anything else to do.�  I just looked at her and then quickly at the person who walked into the room.  I looked at AJ with an odd expression on my face.  �Yo, Resa, are you okay?� Shannon asked me.  I shook my head and looked at her. 
�Yeah Squeaky, I�m fine.  So, are we going?�
�Of course.�  She ran back to the bunks and grabbed her purse.
�Theresa�� AJ started.  I held up my hand to silence him.
�Don�t start Alexander.  All you had to say was you didn�t want to go.�  With that, I walked outside.  I walked over to the car that everyone got to use on the tour, just in case you wanted to be by yourself.  I jumped into the driver�s seat, followed by three other people: Howie, AJ and Shannon.  I glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Shannon and AJ kissing.  Then I glanced over at Howie.  �I thought you left with Brian and Kevin?� I asked Howie.
�Nope, in fact, they didn�t want to come,� he said, grabbing my hand and kissing it.  I threw him a smile.  10 minutes later we were pulling up on Park Ave., a place known for the stores up and down the street.
�Okay, are we eating first or are we shopping?�
�Actually, someone is here that we�re meeting and is staying for a while,� I said.  I finally found the place we were to meet this person at.  I walked into the restaurant and quickly spotted Ramon in one of the booths.  �Mony!� I called out.  He looked up and jumped out of the booth.  Both Shannon and I ran over to him.  Finally, we pulled away and all five of us sat down. 
�Hey, so, how is everyone?� Ramon asked.  I looked around and answered for everyone.
�We�ll all fine.  Tired, but otherwise fine.� He smiled and nodded his head.  I glanced down at my pager. 
�Hey guys, we have to grab this to go.  I�m getting paged by Fatima.�  I glanced up at AJ and D, both were getting paged.
�Bye Ramon,� I said, giving him a hug.  �You know where the bus is?�  He just smiled and nodded his head.  I walked out the door and to the car.  We jumped in and drove to the practice room.  30 minutes later I was pulling us up to the room.  I sighed and got out of the car.  �Isn�t this our day off?� I asked.  The guys just looked at me and nodded their heads. We stepped into the room to find the rest of the guys and the personal dancers.
�Where�s everyone else?� Howie asked, walking into the room.
�After last nights concert, I just felt you ten could work some more,� Fatima said.  We just nodded our heads and left to change.  10 minutes later we came back and took our positions.  �First song, �Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely�,� Fatima said.  I took two steps behind AJ and heard Fatima count us off.  Half way through, she stopped us.  �Hold up! AJ, Theresa, what�s up here?  You guys aren�t flowing anymore,� she said.
�Sorry Fatima,� I mumbled.  She nodded her head and started the dance again.  2 hours later, she finally felt everyone was ready to go. 
�Actually, AJ, Theresa, can I talk to you?�  We walked over to her.  �Look, I don�t know what the problem is, but you both better overcome it.  You guys look like shit out here, so, get your acts together.�  With that, she turned and left the room.
�Thanks Theresa,� AJ said.
�I�m not the one being a jackass, Alexander.�
�No, just being a bitch.�
