Everyone sat in the airport lobby and waited for the jet to get fueled so Danielle, Destiny, Josephine, and Venus could go back home. Sunshine, Nickolas, and Brian sat together and talked while Howard, Danielle, Kevin, Venus, and Alexander sat and talked business. Josephine sat with Destiny, as she watched Kevin the whole time. Destiny was so smitten over him and couldn�t get over it.
�So did you ask him out yet?� Josephine asked.
�No,� Destiny said. �I chickened out.� Josephine looked at her. �I got to his house and when he opened the door my mind went completely blank.�
�Don�t tell me you walked away without saying anything,� Josephine said.
�I talked to him,� Destiny stated. �I just asked him if Sunn was there, because I wanted to talk to her. He said no then I left. I couldn�t bring myself to do it.�
�You pussy,� Josephine said.
�I don�t see you asking Nick out,� Destiny replied.
�Dude, he�s in love with Sunn,� Josephine reminded her. �Look at him.� They looked as Nickolas put his arms around Sunshine and she smiled. �How can I beat that?�
�True,� Destiny said. �You lucked out of ever going out with Nick.�
�Shut up,� Josephine warned.
�He�s so cute,� Destiny said watching Kevin get on his cell phone.
�And you�re retarded,� Josephine said.
�The jet�s ready,� Kevin stated standing up.
�That means it�s time to go,� Danielle replied, as her and Howard got up. �Let�s go girls.�
�Now?� Josephine asked.
�Yes,� Danielle said. �We got work tomorrow.�
�Fine,� Josephine said, as they got their stuff and the guys and Sunshine walked them to the terminal.
They waited, as Alexander kissed Venus and Sunshine said, �There�s some heat in that one.� They laughed.
�I remember when you and Howie would share some heated kisses,� Danielle said.
�Shut up,� Sunshine said. �This time it�s you and D and I ain�t kissing anyone.�
�But who�d you kiss in Australia?� Brian asked curious.
�I don�t kiss and tell,� Sunshine replied. �It�s my secret and you�ll never find out unless you see my movie of course.�
�We better go,� Danielle said giving Howard another kiss, as Kevin and Sunshine pried Alexander and Venus apart.
�Time to go, Venus,� Destiny said pushing her.
�Bye,� they all said simultaneously and the four girls walked away. Sunshine and the guys walked to the window and waited for the plane to leave. They waited another ten minutes before the plane started moving. They watched as the plane took off and was up in the air.
�So who�s hungry?� Sunshine asked and the guys looked at her.

Sunshine and the Boys sat at NYPD Pizza and waited for their food. Sunshine sat there listening to the music and thinking about her night with Nickolas, as Nickolas sat there watching her and also thinking about the night they shared. The other four guys just sat there talking and oblivious to the tension that was surrounding their two friends. Nickolas watched as Sunshine sighed and got out her phone.
�Hello,� Sunshine said into the phone. �Hey�no�having lunch at NYPD�with the guys�Nick, Brian, AJ�no� whatever�maybe�it depends.� She laughed and Nickolas looked at her. �I might have other plans�I�m allowed to�no you�re not�whatever�you just like to think you are�last night was nice.� Nickolas looked at her closely and raised an eyebrow, as the other guys looked at her while she smiled. �I don�t know�all of it�from the moment I arrived to the moment I left�nothing in particular� nothing�s wrong�oh shut up�we�ll just see about that�no�yes�no�maybe�what time?� Nickolas� curiosity grew more and he leaned closer to Sunshine, but she pushed him away. �Sounds good...alright�I�ll see ya then�bye.� Sunshine turned her phone off and the five guys just looked at her. �What?�
�Who was that?� Nickolas asked interested.
�None of your business,� Sunshine replied.
�Ouch,� the guys said.
�Who were you with last night?� Nickolas questioned.
�Why does it matter to you?� Sunshine asked. �We�re not married so it�s none of your concern.�
�I thought we were friends,� Nickolas said.
�We are,� Sunshine assured him. �But we�re not girl friends so I don�t need to tell you.� Nickolas smiled and shook his head.
�So what�s your next job, Sunshine?� Kevin asked.
�A movie with Ryan Phillippe,� Sunshine replied. �It�s kind of a thriller.�
�Cool,� Alexander said. �You�re going to be the new scream queen and taking over for Jamie Lee Curtis.�
�Whatever,� Sunshine said rolling her eyes. �I ain�t taking over for anyone. I�m going to make my own mark so when I die they can say �Sunshine Robinson did this good thing for this cause�.�
�And what will that be?� Howard asked.
�I don�t know,� Sunshine replied. �I haven�t figured that out yet, but it�s going to be good.�
�We believe ya,� Nickolas said.
�Maybe build a homeless shelter in that place for the homeless, ya know,� Sunshine stated. �That way they have food, clothing, and shelter.�
�That�d be a wonderful thing to do,� Kevin said.
�I know,� Sunshine said. �If I�m going to do this acting thing and make tons of money then I might as well do something useful with it, ya know. I�m not going to spend it all in my life time and only God knows if I�ll ever have any kids to give it to.�
�You have such a big heart,� Nickolas said and Sunshine smiled. �I would never have thought of something like that.�
�Because you�re a male,� Sunshine pointed out. �Guys never use their brains.� They all laughed and just sat their in silence. Sunshine and Nickolas looked at each other and smiled. Sunshine was the first to look away and started humming the tune that was playing in her head. Nickolas looked at her and started humming himself, as the others looked at them and Sunshine sang softly to herself, �Well I don�t care what they say/I know this is right, because I feel it deep in my heart/they say we�re young and wild/we should wait for awhile/but nothing�s going to keep us apart/Well I don�t think we�re living in sin/so we can�t give up/we can�t give in/because our love is strong/and it can�t be wrong/ooh and it feels so right/so I�ll be sleeping with you tonight/we�ll be together tonight/I don�t care if it�s wrong or right/I�ll be sleeping with you/sleeping with you tonight�� Sunshine looked at them and smiled. �It�s stuck in my head for some reason.� Nickolas just looked at her and smiled knowing the reason why. �Plus it�s a good song.�
�Yeah,� Kevin said.
Alexander nodded and started singing himself, �So let�s give it a try/I know we�ll get by/because our love�s enough to see us through/well if we take a chance/we can make it last/I know that it�s the right thing to do/I don�t think that we�re living in sin/so we can�t give up/we can�t give in/ because our love is strong/and it can�t be wrong/ooh and it feels so right�� The guys joined him, as did Sunshine. �So I�ll be sleeping with you tonight/we�ll be together tonight/I don�t care if it�s wrong or right/I�ll be sleeping with you/sleeping with you tonight��
�Your food,� the waitress said putting the pizza on the table.
�Thanks,� Kevin said.
�Can I get you refills?� the waitress asked.
�Sure,� Sunshine said. �Thanks.� The waitress nodded and walked away.
�Did you think about a profession of singing?� Howard asked and Sunshine looked at him.
�Nope,� Sunshine said. �It�s just a hobby.�
�You have a great voice,� Brian stated.
�So I�ve been told,� Sunshine said. �Singing�s just not my thing.�
�That�s too bad,� one of the waiters said. �You guys sounded great together.�
�Thanks,� they all said.
�I�d request the song ya did together,� he said.
�Well it won�t be anytime soon,� Sunshine replied.
�That�s too bad,� he said and they laughed. �Maybe in the future.�
�Maybe,� Sunshine said.
�She�s so stubborn,� Nickolas stated and Sunshine glared at him. �But that�s ok, because I like ya anyway.� She just looked at him and he smiled while putting a piece of pizza on her plate.
