Chapter 8


"Oh my gosh! Megan! Wake up! We're here!" Samantha yelled at her friend. She and AJ had been making out the entire trip to Florida. The plane glided to a stop and the seat belt sign went off.

"Uhh, thank God," said Nick groggily. He looked as if he were about to throw up. "I HATE planes." Megan smiled at him and stood up and stretched. "Ready to run through another airport, Meg?" Sam said with a laugh, looking at Megan's three~inch heels.

"Hah, NO. I swear, I'm gonna break my ankle with these shoes. Remind me never to wear them again," Megan said as she pulled her purse off the top rack above her. It was stuck, so she yanked it out and it went flying, hitting Lance on the head. Megan, Sam and Lance all burst into laughter. "Oh my goodness! I am so sorry, Lance, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, don't worry about it! Here's your purse," he said good-naturedly as he handed it to her.

"Thanks." She took it with a smile. "Ya know what? I think I'm gonna take off these shoes," she said to Sam. "It will be so much easier to run." She giggled. "All right, guys, let's go!" Kevin said as they made their way off the plane and onto the ramp. When they got off the ramp, there were, yup, you guessed it, more screaming girls. They ran through the airport and through the doors. They jumped into the limo and the driver sped off.

"Wow, look at this limo! This is so cool!" Sam exclaimed as she looked around. "Oh my gosh! Look, Meg, we have a TV and CD and tape player in the car! And not to mention the bar drinks and sink and stuff! And it's even big enough to fit all 13 of us!" Samantha was amazed.

"Wow, Sam, that's awesome, I know, but I'm not so sure about the part about being big enough," Meg said as she tried to get comfortable. She was squished between Nick and Joey, with Aaron on her lap. "How long are we gonna be on here?" she asked worriedly.

"Oh, we just have to go to the resort in Disney World, it shouldn't take us long," the driver called from up front.

"Where are we staying?" Sam asked AJ as they went under a sign that read, "Disney World...4 miles on right."

"Ummm...I don't know. It depends. Last time we stayed in the Grand Floridian, and the time before that we stayed at the Contemporary Resort. I think this time we are staying at the Polynesian Resort this time. That is like the coolest hotel. It's all Polynesian looking, hence the name Polynesian Resort, and the rooms are nice and big," AJ replied with a gleam in his eye.

"Wow," Sam said, "This is going to be so cool! I've never been to Disney World!" "You've never been to Disney World?" Nick asked her, looking shocked. "Boy, you lived a sheltered life!"

Sam punched him playfully on the arm. "Oh, be quiet," she teased. "Just because you are a big superstar and practically live in Disney World doesn't mean that you should give those without such privileges a hard time."

"Owww..." Nick moaned. "Megaaaaaaaan, Sam hit me," he whined to Megan kiddingly.

"I did not! You little tattletale," she hissed at Nick. He stuck his tongue out at her as the driver pulled up to a huge hotel.

"Okay, that's enough, you two," Megan said like a mother.

"Last stop, the Polynesian Resort," the driver called from up front.

"ALL OUT!" Megan yelled. "I can't breathe!" They piled out of the car.

"Oh my gosh, Megan, look, there aren't tons of screaming girls. It's amazing!" Sam said to her friend as they walked into the hotel. "Wow, this place is awesome!"

"Hey guys," Mrs. Carter appeared out of nowhere. "C'mon, I'll take you to our rooms," she said. "So, Sam, how was the flight over here?" she asked.

"It was good. Why didn't you fly over with us?" Sam asked.

"Oh, I took another plane to get here faster and check in so you guys wouldn't have to do it," she replied. "Ah, here they are. We have 8 rooms, and you guys can divide them up any way you want. Denise and I will have to share a room, and we took the one on the end. So ya'll have seven rooms to divide up."

"Ok, well, Meg and Sam should get one room, obviously," JC said practically. "And each room has two double beds and a twin day bed. So, I'll room with Justin."

"I'll room with Brian, and Aaron can sleep on the twin bed," Nick offered.

It was worked out that Kevin would room with Lance (They had hit it off really well), Joey would room with Chris, and AJ would room with Howie D. All the guys went and threw their stuff on the floor, and they all went into Nick and Brian's room. Meanwhile, the girls had just reached their room, stopping by to say hi to Mrs. McLean on the way, and they put their suitcases on the beds. "Oh, thank God, I have GOT to go to the bathroom!" Megan exclaimed as she ran into the bathroom.

"Wow, this room is pretty cool." Sam said to herself as she went over to the sliding glass doors. They led out to a porch on the bottom floor of the hotel. "Hey, Megan," she called as Megan came out from the bathroom. "Check this out! Our porch leads out onto the beach. And look! You can see the Magic Kingdom and that castle from here. This is so cool!" She turned and jumped onto her bed.

Megan went over and picked up the remote. She turned on the TV, saying to herself, "Now, which channel is MTV?"

Sam hopped off the bed and went over to the side of the room to where the connecting door was. "Hey, whose room is this?"

"I don't know," Megan replied, flipping through channels. "Knock and find out." Sam knocked on the door, and it opened, revealing Brian, Nick, Aaron, JC, Justin, Joey, Lance, AJ, Howie, Chris, and Kevin. "Um, hi guys," she said looking surprised to see them all standing there. "What's up?"

"Oh, so THAT'S where the door leads," Megan said mischievously as she walked over to the door and into Nick's room. She hopped up on the bed and started jumping on it. Nick hopped up on it too, grabbed a pillow, and threw it lightly at Megan. "Ahh!" she shrieked, falling over.

He went over and kissed her. "You know what?" he asked. "I think I like this rooming arrangement."

"All right you two, behave yourselves. There IS a child here," Brian said, pointing at Aaron. "Let's go. We should go grab a quick bite to eat and then let's hit the parks!"

They went to a restaurant in the hotel for lunch, and then they hopped on the monorail towards the Magic Kingdom. They didn't do this peacefully, of course. There were teenage girls following them everywhere, but not even half as many as before. Also, there were the security guards, and even some camera and news people. But no one followed them on the monorail except for the guards. "Do we have to have them following us EVERYWHERE we go?" Sam whispered in AJ's ear.

"Only if we go anywhere as a group. Individually, they don't come," he answered her.

"Oh."

"So, what's our agenda for this trip?" Megan asked. "I mean, like, after we go to the parks and stuff."

"Well, tonight's the concert, so at like, six we have to go back and get ready for it. And then tomorrow, we have promotion stuff, and we're gonna be in the parades, and cameras and stuff are gonna follow us around. And then we have the rest of the trip to ourselves," Joey told her.

"Wow, geez. This is gonna be awesome!" Sam said.

"How many times do you think you've said that on this trip between the two of you?" Brian said with a laugh as he looked at Megan and Sam. Megan stuck her tongue out at him as the monorail glided to a stop.

"Okay, all out," Ted the bodyguard said. "You can go around and everything, but at 5 o'clock, meet at the stage at the Cinderella castle to sign autographs and stuff. Then we'll grab a bite to eat and head to the pavilion at Epcot to give the concert. Got it?"

Everyone nodded. They got off the train, and walked through the gates of the park. A horde of fans followed them around. The Backstreet Boys and N Sync, being really nice guys, stopped for about 15 minutes to meet some of their fans and sign autographs. Meanwhile, Samantha and Megan went into the shops on Main Street to look around. As they walked out of one of the stores, they saw Aaron walking toward them. "You guys, come on. We're all splitting up."

They walked back to where the boys were standing. Nick greeted them. "Hey. We're all splitting up now. AJ, Brian and I are taking Aaron around. Would you ladies like to join us?" he asked.

"We would LOVE to join you," Megan said as she took Nick's hand. AJ grabbed Samantha's hand, and they headed off, calling to JC and the rest of the gang that they would meet them at five on the stage.

"So, Aaron, where are we headed?" Brian asked.

"Umm...I don't know. Let's go to the haunted house," Aaron suggested. So they walked to the haunted house, flanked by a couple of screaming girls begging for autographs, and they got in line behind three girls.

"Guess what, you guys?" Megan said excitedly.

"THIS IS SO COOL!" Brian, AJ, Aaron and Nick all yelled at the same time. Sam burst into laughter.

Megan grinned. "Well, ACTUALLY I was going to say that this is SO AWESOME, but it's cool too."

As the line moved closer to the front, the girls in front of them realized that they were standing next to Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, Aaron Carter, and AJ McLean.

"Hi," one of the girls said to Brian.

"Hi, how'r you doin?" he replied.

She smiled. "I'm Jen and this is Cassie and Kellie," she said, introducing her friends. "You're the Backstreet Boys, right?"

"Yeah. I'm Nick, and this is Aaron, AJ, Brian, and Megan and Samantha," said Nick.

"Hi, nice to meet you." Megan and Sam shook their hands with a smile.

"Nice to meet you too," Jen said. "My little sister totally loves you guys. Do you think I could have an autograph to give to her?"

"Sure, what's her name?" Brian asked, taking out a pen.

"Lisa," Jen replied.

"So, where ya'll from? And what'r ya'll doin here with the Backstreet Boys?" Kellie asked Megan and Sam.

"We're both from Lexington, Kentucky. And Brian is my brother, and Nick is my boyfriend, and AJ is Sam here's boyfriend. We are going on tour with them and N Sync," Megan answered.

"Oh, that's just too cool!" Cassie said.

AJ looked up and laughed. "Yeah, that's what they said too!" Megan stuck her tongue out at him.

"So, wait, you guys are here, on tour, with N Sync?" Kellie asked.

"Yup," Nick said.

"Oh, wow. That's just awesome."

"So, how old are you guys?" Megan asked them as the line moved closer to the front of the building.

"Well, I'm 21, Kellie is 17 and Jen is 25. We're all sisters," Cassie replied. "How about you?"

"I'm 17, but my birthday is in two days," Megan said.

"I'm 24," Brian said.

"I'm 18," said Nick.

"I'm 21, and Aaron here is 10," AJ replied.

"And I'm 17, but my birthday is in four days," Sam said.

"Wow, that's cool," Jen said.

"Where are you guys staying?" Sam asked them.

"Umm...at the Polynesian, how about you?" Cassie asked.

"Really? We're staying there too. That's cool. You can meet all the guys if you want," Sam said.

"Really? That'd be cool," Kellie said. "How long are you guys staying here?"

"Until Friday morning, I think," Sam said.

"Oh, cool. Us too," said Jen.

"Where ya'll from?" Brian asked them.

"Baltimore, Maryland," Jen said.

"Oh, cool, I think that we are having a concert up there some time. We could get you guys tickets, if you want," Nick said. By that time they were inside the building. They all got on the ride and were totally scared out of their minds. The three girls accompanied them the rest of the day.
