"Well do you realize you just did something normal and that you gave me the greatest night of my life?"

"I knew the first thing but not the second one. I really gave you the greatest night of your life?" Ali didn't answer with words instead she titled her head and kissed Justin lightly on the lips. "Ok I'll take that as a yes." Justin titled her head back to look directly into her eyes, "come on let's go get some sleep. You sure danced me out."

"Ha, I thought you were supposed to be in shape?"

"Oh cut it out I haven't been on tour for a while. I'm a little rusty."

"That's ok I like you the way you are!" The two walked up the stairs kissed good night and went to bed in there rooms.

The next two weeks were great. Everyone had so much fun. Lance and Katie had started dating a little and Justin and Ali were inseparable. If you saw one the other was there. It also gave the guys more of a break. Katie now had to take more and more shots which she sold to magazines and Jc wrote a new song. On the three week anniversary of Justin and Ali Jc took a call from Johnny.

"Hello?"

"Hello Jc, this is Johnny sorry I call like this, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to come back to Orlando in a week."

"Why? Is something the matter?"

"No it's just we need to finish that new album. With all the law suits and things we really need to get back out there. No Strings Attached is going to be amazing. You have to come back and finish recording. Max Martin has a great new song for you all to check out. I think you'll really like it."

"But..."

"Jc I'm sorry, but you don't even know this girl. You've spent enough time with her already."

"That's the point Johnny we've gotten to know her and we all love her. We can't just say oh it's been fun but we're leaving Bye Bye Bye'!"

"Look I'm going to trust you to get everyone ready. Your flight has been booked for Sunday morning 10 am. Goodbye."

"Yea, bye." Jc hung up the phone with disgust. He knew Chris, Lance, and Joey wouldn't really mind going, but how would he tell Justin? Jc decided to wait out for tomorrow night at dinner. Today everyone was going to the mall!

"WILL YOU GUYS COME ON!" Katie and Ali were waiting outside shouting into the house. "It's not like anyone is going to know it's you so why bother getting all dressed up?" Chris and Joey were out followed by Jc. Lance and Justin then ran out the door.

"Hey we want to look like five cool guys ok?" Joey said as he poofed up his hair.

"Oh brother. Ok are we ready?" Ali was now seated behind the wheel. Justin was next to her. Lance and Katie took up the two seater and Jc, Joey, and Chris were in the way back. "Here we come." It was a 30 minute car ride and they sang the whole way there. When they got into the parking lot the boys put on hats and sunglasses. Chris had brought a blond wig, but they talked him out of wearing it. He just looked too obvious.

"Let's go to Old Navy first." Jc pointed ahead to the big doors of Old Navy.

"No, if you are going to shop with Katie and I you're going to have to follow OUR plan. Got it?" Ali was walking to the escalator.

"Ok's" came from the gang and they all followed suit and got on the escalator.

"Alright now we go to Hagen Dazs. Which flavor do you guys want?" Katie asked as she went over to the counter.

"Of what?" Joey asked confused.

"Of smoothies. I'll take strawberry. What about you Justin?"

"I'll take the same," Justin grabbed a hold of Ali's hand and smiled.

There's no way I can tell him he has to say goodbye. Jc's thoughts were interrupted by Lances voice. "Oh sorry I'll have peach please."

Joey wanted a raspberry and Chris a lemon. They window shopped around the second floor. It was all little children stuff and the theater. They decided after shopping they would go see a movie. Of course they were undecided on what to see. They headed down stairs. Just as Jc had requested before they went into Old Navy. After 4 hours of shopping each person had acquired at least 3 full shopping bags. They decided to get some dinner at Nathons and then go to the movie. After they eat their hot dogs and french fries, which resulted in a fry fight between Lance and Katie V.S. Chris and Joey they went to the movie. They bought tickets for The Whole Nine Yards. By the time they got out of the movie it was almost ten.

"Wow, that was a really good movie. Matthew Perry is so funny." Katie said.

"Well, Amanda Pete was hot!" Yelled Joey.

"Oh well Katie I guess we're not good enough for him." Ali winked at Katie who got the idea.

"Yea I guess we're totally ugly and don't deserve a shout." Katie was holding back laughter.

"Now hey that isn't fair you two are taken. We'll get punched if we try and hit on you." Justin shot him a -Dats right- kinda look.

"I don't want anybody hitting on my girl." Justin said defensively as he put an arm around Ali.

"Oh ok I was just wondering," Ali smiled. "Don't worry all I need is you." With that she kissed Justin.

"Get a room please. Some of us are trying to digest popcorn," moaned Joey.

"Well it wouldn't be that hard if you hadn't emptied 2 large boxes." Chris reminded him as he got into the car.

"I was hungry ok?"

"You're always hungry." Jc said as he got behind the wheel. "Katie you just give me directions if I start going the wrong way ok?"

"Sure," Katie was in the back with Lance and Joey. Chris was up front with Jc and Justin and Ali were in the two-seater.

No one really talked on the way home except Jc and Chris but they were whispering so no one could hear.

"We have to leave?" Chris asked.

"Yea we do I don't know how to tell J. After Kara left him like that for that guy he was crushed. He told her he loved her and then the next day she was gone. He swore he would never love again, but I think wit Ali it's going to be different. If I change anything now I'm afraid their love will change." Jc explained.

"I don't know what to do either." Chris was as confused as Jc on what to do. "We're going to have to tell him. He and Ali can't not know. I mean if we wait till the last minute they'll both be upset. Let's tell him tomorrow morning." Jc nodded in agreement. "Hey man turn we're home. Come on I gotta pee."

"Eww thanks for sharing." Ali yelled from behind him.

"Well you asked."

"No I didn't." Ali stated.

"Well something to that affect." Chris was embarrassed but played it off like he did it on purpose.

"Well lets go inside before he pops." Jc laughed and jumped out of the car.

When they went inside everyone just said good nights and went to bed. Except Jc and Chris had to hold up the rest of the guys for a mini meeting. "Sorry guys I know you all are tired, but we have something to tell you. Johnny called us this morning and told me that on Sunday we have a flight back to Orlando." Before Jc could go on Justin stood up and stormed out of the room. "We have to leave here by 9."

"This is terrible. Why do we have to go. I love it here." Joey whined.

"Well we do have jobs. The thing I'm worried about is Justin and Ali. I think their in love." Everyone nodded. There was going to be a big problem when everyone has to tell the girls. "We can figure something out." There was uncertainty in his voice because he was uncertain. The good thing is they had 6 days to worry about it. Unfortunetly those 6 days go by really fast.

Lance had decided to tell Katie that night so that he didn't have to have her upset later, but made sure tha she wouldn't tell Ali. "Why can't we tell her?" Katie had asked him.

"Well everyone wants to see if Justin will do it and try to grow in with the relationship. If it looks as though he doesn't plan on doing it then Jc will probably tell her."

For the next 3! days Justin and everyone else went along thinking everything was fine and normal. Jc called Justin into his room that evening. "Justin, don't you plan on telling Ali?"

"I don't know." Justin replyed quickly.

"Well I think you should know. I think you love her." Jc pried into that one part of Justin's closed heart hoping for a response.

"Yes, I think I do. But that deosnt matter. This is nothing ok?" Justin went up to his room and closed his door.

"This is something Justin don't screw it up!" Jc called but he knew Justin couldn't hear him. Jc felt it something terrible. He knew his best friend was going to have to take that step to fall IN love with Ali and make it work, and if he didn't that he might loose her for good.
