"Shoot! I need to do something, I'm going to go crazy!"

Usually his girlfriend would be with him but she had to work this week and would not re-join the tour until the next weekend.

"Hey, I know!" Brian sat down and called the front desk. "There's a small gym here, isn't there?" he asked the clerk.

"Yes, but there has been a dance troupe renting it out for the past couple of days. I'm not sure if they are still there."

Brian asked if it would be okay to head down to check and was answered in the affirmative. He hung up the phone and then dialed Nick's room number.

"Hello?" "Oh, hi Mandy, is..."

"It's Willa now, remember?" the voice snapped.

Brian had to cover his mouth to keep from laughing. "Um, yeah, WILLA, is Nick there?" Brian couldn't hold the laughter in any more and was still laughing when Nick picked up the phone.

"What's so funny, Rok?"

"Your girlfriend, she wants US to call her Willa now?"

"Hey, I dunno, I still call her Mandy."

Brian snickered again. "That may change before the night's out. Anyway, I called to see if you want to play some b-ball?"

"Where Rok, we can't go out remember?"

Usually Nick loved to just stay in the hotel, playing Nintendo or whatever, but Mandy was driving him crazy, he needed to get out. Brian filled him in on the details and they agreed to meet at the elevator.

Nick hung up the phone and turned to Mandy. "I'm gonna meet Brian down at the gym and shoot some hoops okay?"

Mandy lifted her head up from painting her nails. "Will the fans be able to get in, or will you be by yourselves?"

Nick sighed. "So what if they can?" he thought to himself, to her he replied. "Security is coming with us, I'm sure they will keep anybody out."

She looked at him sternly. "Alright, but you know I have to go rehearse at 5pm. Make sure you're back before then!"

Nick nodded, "Yes Mandy, I'll be back." Then he bolted out the door to meet Brian.
