Josephine and Alexander got out of his car and started walking to the front door of his house. He put his arm around her and kissed her cheek, as she smiled.
�Why�d you take me out?� Alexander asked. �It�s my job to take you out.�
�I wanted to,� Josephine replied. �You�ve done so much for me these past three months and I decided it was my turn to do something for you. Plus your birthday was Wednesday.� They looked at each other. �Was it wrong for me?�
�Not at all,� Alexander said. �It was very sweet and I thank you.�
�You�re welcome,� Josephine said, as they stopped. �Why�d we stop?�
�You look extra beautiful today. Did you do something different?�
�No.�
�Then it must be the light.� He kissed her.
�It�s nice to know you notice different things about me.� They started walking again.
�It�s my duty. You are my girlfriend.�
�And I�m very lucky.� They approached the front door and Josephine smiled.
�What are you smiling at?�
�Nothing. It�s just that I really like your house. Maybe I�ll buy it off ya.�
�You can�t afford it. I�ll just give it to ya.�
�Sounds good.� Alexander unlocked the door and pushed it open. He left Josephine in first and he followed behind her.
Alexander turned on the light and everyone yelled, �Surprise!� Alexander jumped and looked at everyone.
�This is a surprise,� Alexander said.
�Happy Birthday, Alex!� they all yelled.
�Thank you,� Alexander said and turning to Josephine. �Did you know about this?� Josephine just nodded. �That�s why you wanted to go to dinner. So they could get everything ready.� Josephine just smiled at him, as he kissed her.
�Enough of that,� Sunshine said. �Let�s get this party started.�
�I�m with her,� Destiny aid. �Kevin, start the music.�
�No problem,� Kevin said turning the music on and the party began.

�This is a great party, fella�s,� Alexander said to his band mates.
�This is just half of it,� Howard said.
�What�s the other half?� Alexander asked, as the music stopped.
�Everyone may we have your attention!� Venus yelled, as everyone got quiet.
�The girls got something for ya,� Brian said.
�What?� Alexander asked.
�Just watch,� Howard replied. �Because we don�t know either.�
�The five of us have a little present for the birthday boy,� Sunshine said. �So if ya don�t mind, Mr. McLean, come here. You get front row and bring your Boys too.�
�I have a feeling this is going to be great,� Alexander said, as they walked over to the girls. �What�s going on, Josephine?� And then he noticed their cute running outfits. �What�s with the outfits?�
�We�re going jogging,� Sunshine said. �Let�s go.� They laughed.
�Watch,� Josephine said. �This is our birthday present to you.�
�We didn�t know what to get the boy who has everything,� Danielle stated. �So we agreed on this over a bucket of coal.�
�Is this a strip show?� Alexander wanted to know.
�No,� the girls yelled and Destiny added, �Well not exactly, but this took a lot of long nights and rehearsing.�
�So if you don�t like it you�re getting your ass kicked,� Sunshine warned.
�I like it already,� Alexander said.
�Bradley, queue the music,� Sunshine said and he did so.
Josephine began to sing-along to Britney Spears �Crazy�, as the other girls began to dance behind her, �Baby, I�m so into you�you got that something�what can I do�Baby, you spin me around�the earth is moving�but I can�t feel the ground�every time you look at me�my heart is jumping�it�s easy to see��
The girls joined her for the chorus, �You drive me crazy�I just can�t sleep�I�m so excited �I�m in too deep�crazy, but it feels alright�Baby, thinking of you keeps me up all night�� As they got into the song they took each piece of the running outfit off to reveal a sexy little waitress outfit.
�Woooooohoooooo!� Alexander yelled. �Work it!� The girls just smiled and continued with their show, as the others laughed at the birthday boy.
�Tell me�you�re so into me�that I�m the only one you will see,� Sunshine sang this time. �Tell me I�m not in the blue, oh�that I�m not wasting my feelings on you�every time I look at you�my heart is jumping�what can I do?�
The girls joined her, �You drive me crazy�I just can�t sleep�I�m so excited�I�m in too deep �crazy, but it feels all right�Baby, thinking of you keeps me up all night��
They sang the rest of the song and after they were done, Alexander thanked each girl for a memorable birthday party while the crowd yelled, �More! More! More!�
�Do you want more, Alex?� Josephine asked.
�Are you going to wear those outfits?� Alexander asked in return.
�Do you want more or not?� Sunshine asked.
�Definitely,� Alexander said, as the other four guys agreed.
�Then hold on,� Danielle said, as the girls ran off.
About ten minutes later the girls came out in these �I Dream of Jeanne� outfits. After they got into their positions the music started playing �Genie In A Bottle� and Sunshine began to sing, �I feel like I�ve been locked up tight�for a century of lonely nights�waiting for someone�to release me �you�re lickin� your lips and blowing kisses my way�but that don�t mean I�m gonna give it away�baby, baby, baby�oh, oh, oh, oh, oh�my body�s sayin� lets go�oh, oh, oh, oh, oh�but my hearts sayin� no.�
The girls joined her, �If you want to be with me�Baby, there�s a price to pay�I�m a genie in a bottle�you gotta rub me the right way�if you want to be with me�I can make your wish come true�if you want to be with me�you gotta make a big impression�I gotta like what you do��
