(AUTHORS NOTE: This was written while AJ was still 21.)
Later In The Disco, sitting on a "U"-Shaped Couch with a little table in the middle**
(Authors Note to Kat {Yes, other reader-type-people, Kat is a real person}: This sounds like everyone at lunch sort of, doesn't it? I just though of that. OK I'm done interrupting everyone elses reading. A-Hem! Back To Your Regularly Scheduled Fan Fiction Reading!)
"So when you wrote to me and told my you got your 'dream job' but you couldn't tell me what it was cuz I'd get jealous, this was it?" "Yeah, isn't it the best job?" "I'd say so!" Then AJ came up behind her with a finger to his lips signaling for me to be quiet. He put a hand on her shoulder and before I coul blink, Kat flipped him over her shoulder and onto the table. "Ouch! God, Kat, you're supposed to protect me, not try to kill me." "AJ, I've warned you many times not to touch me. Now you know why. Get up. The waitress has my virgin Pina Colada."
"Why are you getting a virgin drink? Just cuz your a body guard boss-lady, doesn't mean you can't get drunk once and a while." "I'm not fond of hangovers, AJ, and I'm not gonna drink just so you can have a one night stand. Anywho, this here waitress won't let me get anything alcoholic"
"Make it a one week. WAIT! Why can't you get anything alcoholic?" "Cuz I'm still underage." "Shit! I've been flirtin' with a friggin' minor!" "I'm 20, AJ." "Phew. Wait a second. I'm only a year older than you. Whats your problem with me?" "Its a maturity issue." "And wuz wrong wit my masurity leval (AN: Thats how AJ said It, not that I spell things like that. Some things, If they have to be said a certain way will be spelled that way)" "Two words: Nick... Carter." "Girl, wuz your problem?" "I don't like him, you act like him." AJ looked directly at me while talking to Kat. "At least, un-like Nick, I don't have a crush on-" Nick jumped over the back of the couch between me and AJ and clamped his hand over AJ's mouth. "Finish that sentence and I tell why we call you 'Bone' when you're around Kat. "You do, you die." "Well, its just a matter of how much you want your manhood in jeopardy. Want to think about it?" With that, Nick started to hum the little Jeopardy thinking song. "Kat, will you go out with me?" "What the hell?" "Well, I don't want Nick to tell!" "OK" AJ dragged Kat back to his and Nicks room to watch a movie.
*~*An Hour Later*~*
I'd been dancing with Nick for who knows how long, before we decided to sit down. "Hey, wanna go see what movie they're watching?" I asked? "I highly doubt they're watching a movie, butya never know. C'Mon." We went up to Nick and AJ's room, and quietly opened the door. I looked at the TV. It was on, but the "Sensation Schedual" channel. Nick pointed to a bed and said, "Why not your bed AJ! My virgin eyes!" Kat and AJ were making on Nick's bed, but knowing Kat, and what happened later, that's as far as it got. "Nick, your eyes ain't that virgin. Now shut up and GET OUT!" AJ said. Nick walked over to AJ and said, "I think she's a winner." Kat decked him and he stumbled/fell back into me. "Ohmigod! Nick, thats the second time we ran into each other today! Kat! When did you get that strong?"
"I've always been that strong. You've just never seen me in a fight."
Then AJ said "Thats why we chose her as a body guard. She's tiny, but strong. She wasn't even trying. And I like a strong woman." Kat shot him a look of death, and AJ took off his sunglasses, and said "OK. I didn't mean it. Don't hurt me! Please?"
Then Nick said, "You two went to school together?"
I looked at him like he was an idiot, and said, "I thought we clarified that earlier" Then to Kat I said, "Hey, I remember the time you got in a fight with Kirsten over AJ."
With a warning tone, Kat said "Shut up, Katie"
AJ looked up and said, "You fought over me? You like me? You really like me?"
"I was a stupid, immature girl back in the 10th grade." "Aww, poor baby. You got so mature." Then AJ started kissing her, and Kat made no move to stop him.
Then Nick said, "We'll... just... leave you two... alone..." and pulled me out of the room by my arm.
~*~ Alone On The Pool Deck ~*~
"That was... weird." I said. "Not really. Its not the first time I've found them making out." "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!" "When they first met we were playing truth or dare. Brian dared them to kiss, and liets just say they held it for longt than they should have." "Oh." "Wanna make out?" "Excuse me?" "I asked you if you wanted-" "I heard you. It's just... where'd that come from?" "I was asking you out." "But I hardly know you. I just met you today." "You're Kats friend. A friend of Kat's is a friend of mine, and if you act anything like her, I know I'll like you." "I don't know..." Why wouldn't I? "Oh, c'mon..." "Um..." "Please?" If he really liked me, he could beg a little. "Uh..." "I guess thats a no." "Yes." "Yes its a no, or yes its a yes?" "Yes, it a-" Then a loud voice yelled "OH MY GOD ITS NICK CARTER!!!!!" Nick got up and started running, and I was close behind him. The girls had seen me with him and would surely claw my eyes out, or at least maim me beyond repair. We ran to the nearest room, mine, and locked the door. "Oh my lord, Nick. That was freaky." "I'm gonna use your phone." "Calling Kat? *Nick nodded* Tell her to hurry. This door won't hold them much longer." After Nick called Kat and the steward, and we waited a few minutes, nothing happened. "I don't think they're leaving, Nick." I looked at the door that was about to come off its hinges and continued, "Nick, get out on the balcony. We have to jump." "What?!?" "Stop being such a wuss and move! They're gonna break the door down." We ran out to the balcony. I looked down. Not to far, 7 or 8 feet to D-Deck. "Nick, jump." "Uh.. Ladies first." "GOD DAMNIT NICK I'M SAVING YOUR LIFE HERE!!!! JUMP!!!" Nick climbed over the railing and lowered himself till he was about a foot off the ground and dropped. I climbed over the railing and was telling myself not to look down when the door broke down and girls poured in. I looked down and said, "Catch me." I jumped down knocking Nick over and landing on top of him. Kevin walked out a door, saw us and said "I Don't Even want to know what kinky thing you two are doing." and walked back inside. I jumped up and Nick and I walked down to the disco. I looked around for a sign of anyone I knew. Justin was doing his gay kick dance on the floor (AN: Two things: one, pictuer Carlton on Fresh Prince of Bel Air, and two, no offence to the homosexual persuasion). "Yo Justin! Get your gay ass over here!" "I'm not gay Katie... I'm bi." "I don't want to know. Is Mary in your room?" "Yeah, why?" What room number?" "M-125. Why?" "Bye!" I grabbed Nicks hand and ran to the stairs. Comming out ov an elevator was the big group of girls, one of which was wearing my new hat. I pushed nick into another elevator and said "Go to M deck and hide in a plant." Then I ran up to the girl in my hat and screamed "They're on the sports deck. As she turned to run, I grabbed my hat and went into the elevator they were coming out of. "Dumb pricks." When I walked off the elvator, I saw Nick standing behind the branch of a plant that only covered his knees. "Dumb musicians. You're not hidden. C'mon!" We ran down the hall until we came to the right room and started banging on the door. I almost hit Mary when she opened the door so fast. "Hey Katie, whats up?" "Mary, move." I pushed her out of the way and then pulled Nick in the room and slammed the door. "Hi, Mary, this is Nick. Nick... Mary." "Hey, isn't he-" "Yes, now I'm using your phone." Before she could say anything I picked up the phone, dialed AJ's number. "Hey, Kat. We have a slight problem... You and AJ kicked us out, a stampede of fans knocked down my door and now we're trapped in my friend , Mary's , room. M-125. Hurry up. See ya in a few. Yea, I remember when we used to write stories about this happening to us. Bye, Kat. *I hung up the phone* OK, she's gonna be down here in a few." I said as I looked up to see Mary totally flirting with Nick. "Mary, I need you a second." I said, a little annoyed. He was mine, not her's, mine! Anyway, she didn't even like him! She glanced at a very nervous looking Nick, and folowed me out to the other part of the room. I whispered loudly, "What the hell do you think you're doing? I thought you liked Howie?" "Yeah, but Nick's the one on the cruise." "Howie's here, he's in the club!" "Oh... Justin's there." She said just as the door opened. "No, I'm not. I heard your conversation. Go find lover-boy.' Mary ran out of the room and right into Kat. Kat looked around and saw Nick sitting on the bed, me and Justin standing next to each other and Mary sitting on the floor where she fell. "Whats going on here?" Mary jumped up and said "Where's Howie?!" AJ walked into the room and Mary shook him by the shoulders and said "Where's Howie?????" "I dunno. Down girl." I rolled my eyes and said "Mary, stop being so rabid! I told you, he's in the disco." She ran down the hall and we all heard herscreaming "Stupid elevator. Hurry up! c'mon! Finally!" We all looked at eachother and laughed. "C'mon, Katie, you can stay in our-I mean my room until your door gets fixed." Kat said
"Kat, did you just say 'our room'?" I asked. "No." "Yes you did! You don't happen to have olive oil in there do you?" "No." "Thats right, you always said that AJ likes to use chocolate sauce." "No." "Yes. "I never said that." "Yes you did," "He doesn't" "yes he does." "no." "yes." "No." Then AJ looked up and said "Yes." Kat gave him a look of death and said, "You're just waiting for the day when you're surrounded by fans and I forget to be your bodyguard, aren't you?" "No." "Are you sure?" "Um... uh... No." "Now what fan should I call? Jenny 'I have the longest name in the world' MacIntire? Susie 'The Slut' Jeffries? Sandra 'Smooth' Sweeny? " "None." "How ya gonna stop me?" "Like this. " AJ kissed her and they continued to make out. With a look of horror, Justin said, "Get them out of here before they loose something." "Justin, I never liked you, so I won't feel bad making u look stupid. AJ's not a virgin, and with my recent knowledge of Kat, thanks Nick, i doubt she is either." Justin looked at his feet and said "Thats not what I was talking about", even though it was obvious he was. I looked at Nick and he nodded. We walked up to AJ and Kat and pulled them apart (AN: I pulled Kat back, Nick pulled AJ back) We dragged them to the elevator and kepted them separated until we were safely, or maybe not safely, inside and the doors closed.
