We climbed off the stage and took the five empty chairs.
�Wow, one man, five girls, that�s the greatest dream every dreamt.�
�Only cause we adore you,� Terri said, sitting on the right of Mario.
�I�m glad someone does.  Let�s talk about the album, Trinity.  You guys wrote a lot of the songs on there?�
�Resa wrote a lot, but yeah, we all had a hand in them.  We have one other remake, just cause it�s one of those songs that are totally fun to perform.  We just put a Pop twist on it,� Megan answered.
�Which one is that?�
�We�re not going to say.  You�re supposed to know that,� I teased.
�You�re going to make me find out the hard way?�
�Of course.�
�Deal than.  When does the tour start?�
�Oh, we�re not looking that far in advance.  Just right now, getting the song out there.  When more hits go out and the fans like it, we�re tour,� Jennifer said.
�Is it hitting you guys yet?�
�No, we can still go out in public and people won�t know us.  We�re enjoying this time.  I don�t� want to be hiding myself,� Terri answered.
�Well, you do have fans, and we have one on the phone.  Do you wanna say anything to her?�
�Of course,� Jennifer said, all happy to have a fan wanting to talk to them.
�Hello?  Rebekah, are you there?�
�Hi, yeah, I�m here.  Wow, Trinity, I just have to say, I love your song.  I got it the day it got released.  I always request your song on TRL or on the radio.  When you tour, you have to stop in Maryland, please?�
�Of course.  Our biggest fan is out there,� I said, laughing as she squealed.
�Oh, wow, you talked to me, that�s like the coolest thing.�
�Well, you called us.  We have to say thank you too.  It�s nice getting feedback from the fans,� Jennifer said.
�You guys are so nice.  Thank you.�
�Bye Rebekah,� we all called out.
�Bye.� 
�It�s a bad thing to say, but we�re out of time, but we know you guys will always stop by to say hi, right?� Mario asked.
�Of course, we do love you too, over here in Cali,� Terri teased back.  We smiled our thanks and walked backstage. 
�Dude, what the hell is in Maryland?� Megan asked.
�I don�t know.�
�You think Boss Lady is going to send us there?�
�If there�s a fan, even one, yes she will,� Terri said.  I shook my head, thankful that was done.
�At least it wasn�t boring questions,� I mumbled.
�What�s a boring question?� Megan asked.
�Getting asked the same question over and over,� Shannon responded.
�We�ve been asked the same question about our single from everyone!� Jennifer said.
�Ahh, true, very true.  Fuck, you know that press conference tomorrow is for two hours?�
�What?� Shannon asked.
�Yeah, Boss Lady told me that today.  You know they�re going to get detailed tomorrow.�
�Yeah, we know,� I said.  We shook our heads as our limo dropped us off at our hotel.

We took the five seats at the table, a million flashes blinding us.  We sat, waiting for them to start.
�Okay, one question at a time please.  Anything will go.  And they are yours for two hours,� Meshelle said.  She smiled and walked to the back.  One lady stood up and fixed her skirt.
�You think dating the Backstreet Boys adds to your success?�  I reached for my water, shifting yet again.
�What�s your name?� I asked.
�Karen, from The Star.�
�Welcome Karen.  No, I feel our success is based on us.  We�re the ones singing and it�s our single that�s hit number one.�
�The fans of the Boys are our fans as well.  Right now, we can still check email and fan mail, and they let us know they like us cause they chose to,� Terri chimed in.
�Tim, from The Press.  Do you guys get a lot of hate mail?�
�Amongst the fan mail?  Yeah.  All kinds of mail.  But the hate mail comes from the fans who love the Boys,� Megan answered.
�I would love to have our fans write the guys and tell them they suck for dating us,� I said, laughing.
�Susan, from The Reporter.  How does the �images� go and why?�
�Images, like me being a �bad ass�?  When we started, I was just tough.  To answer questions, they had to be good questions.  I defended myself and wasn�t afraid to speak my mind.  That�s how the whole �bad ass� came to be,� I answered.
�Um, I�m the sweet one.  Never say a bad thing.  The regular good girl, Daddy�s little girl.  I just don�t believe in being violent.  And yet, Resa is one of my best friends.  Makes no sense,� Jennifer said, laughing.
�The bitch.  I learned from the best, Resa and Shannon.  Just love being moody, loud, and annoying.  What fun is it, if you�re not, you know?� Megan said, adding a shrug.
�Just plain crazy.  I love making people laugh.  Love pulling pranks on anyone I can.  And get me and Brian together, all hell is going to break loose,� Shannon chimed in.
�Me last?  I have an image?  Just wacky.  I love being crazy, love laughing.  But who doesn�t?  To have fun, that�s what I believe in,� Terri finished off.
�Robert from The Gazette.  Do you plan on only selling albums that contain upbeat songs?  Why?�
�Um, why not?  I mean, this is a world where things can be takin� too seriously.  Music is music.  Something the fans should enjoy.  Yeah, there�s people that send messages, that�s all good, but that�s not us,� Jennifer answered.
�Our message, to have fun.  To dance and for just a little bit of time, don�t think about that man who left, or your wife who took the kids, or the war going on in another country,� Shannon said.
�Just think about music.  The smile it brings to your face and how it makes ya wanna dance,� I finished off.
�Shelly from The Reporter as well.  So, you don�t do love ballads?  Why are they so bad?�
�Don�t get us wrong, we love listening to all kinds of music.  Every song is a good song.  It�s our personal taste not to do things like that.  We love ballads, and in truths, we have a couple on our album.  That�s, I think, where our talent is in writing,� Megan answered.
�Can we please have our last question,� Meshelle came out and told the reporters.
�David, from The Excel.  Do you guys have any idea what you�re next single might be?�
�Oh, yeah, one of our love ballads.  We don�t want the critics to say we can�t sing at all or can�t play,� Terri stated, laughing.  We smiled, waved, and walked out.
