�Hey.�
�I was knocking for like the last few minutes.�
�Sorry, sorta out of it.�
�It�s cool.  Wanna talk?�
�It�s�.�
�Your woman?�
�Yeah.�
�What happened?�
�I love her.  And I know she wants me and I want her.  But, she�s pressuring me to purpose now.�
�Yikes.�
�Now, is not the time.  I told her that and we got in a huge fight.�
�I�m sorry.�
�I don�t know what to do.  Lately, even I blow up at people.  Maybe�.�
�Maybe what D?�
�I don�t know.  Pollyanna is touring, maybe I might go.�
�She�s touring for like six months.�
�Yeah.  The break would do us good.�
�No.  God damn it.  All of you, you don�t realize anything.  Just watch and see!�  Nick turned and left.  I just stared at where he was.  �What got into him,� I thought.

Dear Fans,
It�s me Nick Carter from the Backstreet Boys.  I�m asking you a favor.  Huge one!  The guys and I are in the middle of recording our album, as you are well aware.  But lately, the key word in everything, stuff has gone wrong.  All of BSB, excluding me, think we need a break.  A long break.  Now, I�m askin� you, the fans who we treasure beyond anything, to help us come back together.  Show them, they�re wrong.  With you, all of you, we can conquer anything.  Thank you.  Nick Carter

I hit enter and off it went, into the Internet, filling all groups, sites, and email boxes.  The only way to bring the guys back, our fans.  I stayed online and within minutes, I saw fans responding.  I as happy, for our fans were truly the greatest.

The following day, we took a chance and all entered the recording studios.  Our voices had rested and hopefully we sounded better.  I watched the guys come in and I closed the door and locked it.
�Today, we�re not going to record.  We�re going to write and than record it,� I said.
�What, Nick, are you talking about?� Kevin asked.
Dear Guys, you can�t take a break.  What about your fans, the fans who love you, support you?  Please don�t abandon us.  Jenny, 16, South Carolina.
�Okay, I still don�t get it,� AJ said.
�Just listen. 
Dear BSB, I love you and your music.  Please don�t break up.  Tanya, 14, New York.
Dear Backstreet, I�m probably the only guy writing in to tell you.  You guys are the best!  The hottest thing to hit the music scene.  And you�re still going strong.  Don�t let a squabble break you guys up!  Many fans will be lost, even me, for I look forward to your music.  Richard, 23, Washington. 
Dear Backstreet Boys, you inspire me so much.  I look forward to seeing you in concert, on TV, to hearing you new cd, or new single.  You guys have done so much for me.  Please, please, don�t leave me, don�t leave us.  Your fans need you.  Don�t need your back on them now.  Theresa, 19, Arizona. Don�t you see?  We�ll leaving them.  How can you say you love them?  If we have a problem, we work through it, right?�
�Your right Nick.  You guys, we need to be strong.  We need to work through this,� Howie said.
�You guys are right,� Brian said.
�We all understand problems and we know who�s going through tough times.  But we need to be there for each other,� I said.  I took a deep breath and dropped the next bomb.  �I have a song in my mind, I want it about us.  About all we�ve been through.�
�I truly like that Nick,� Kevin said.  I smiled and we all sat down.

Two hours later, we had �Time�, our theme song if you will.  I was proud, happy.  We worked through our problems and we didn�t really even know it.
�This group means a lot you, huh Nicky?� Brain asked.  I glanced at each guy and smiled. 
�You guys are my brothers, so yeah, this groups means a lot to me.�
�And we wanted to break up,� AJ said.
�Thank you Nick.  You all helped us,� Kevin said.
�I just didn�t want to see us end when we could work through it.�
�You should have the tittle �Peace-Maker�,� Howie said.  I smiled.  We were once again close.

Black and Blue came out a month later.  A recent poll showed that the favorite song was �Time� followed by �Everyone�.
Dear Fans,
It�s the fellas here.  You guys are truly amazing.  Through thick and thin, you�ve been there.  And you guys are the best!  We owe you so very much.  Thank you!  Love each and everyone of you! God Bless, the Backstreet Boys.


*~* I know that I, I can�t believe/ Just what the path has brought me/ To the man I wanna be/ And I know that we have had some times/ That we can�t forget the struggle/ �Cause we have so far to go/ I know we have changed but/ Change can be so good/ So let�s not forget why it�s understood that�
CHORUS Time/ �N Look where we are/ And what we�ve been through/ Time/ Sharing our dreams/ Every little bit of life with you/ Time it goes on and on everyday, baby/ Time is what it is come what may/ I remember when mom used to say/ That things are getting better/ And you�ll soon be on your way/ Remember those days, that we would sing at the drop of a dime/ Way back when nothing else mattered/ I know we�ve changed but/ Change can be so good/ Oh, so let�s not forget why it�s understood that�Time/ �N Look where we are/ And what we�ve been through/ Time/ Sharing our dreams/ Every little bit of life with you/ Time it goes on and on everyday, baby/ Time is what it is come what may/ So here we are/ And we�ll always stay together/ And through it all you know/ We owe it all to you, you, you and you/ (Time goes on, never stops, it keeps on)/ Time/ �N Look where we are/ And what we�ve been through/ Time/ Sharing our dreams/ Every little bit of life with you/ Time it goes on and on everyday, baby/ Time is what it is come what may / Time, it goes on and on everyday/ Time is what it is, come what may, come what may *~*

�Time� was the last single released off of B&B.  It hit number one and stayed forever on the charts!  We�re still going strong and have more fans!  Surprising really that this was all a year ago.  And I, Nick, have taken the time to explain how my favorite song came about, �Time�.
