Kevin’s POV
What provoked her to dye her hair… who knows! It didn’t surprise me much though… I mean she does share a bus with AJ as well. I guess I should go check on the 5 of them… yes five. Laura, Amanda, Elizabeth, AJ, and Nick… I really hope AJ knows that none of them are legal!
“Alexander… watch it… they’re not legal… so don’t even think of trying anything.” I warned AJ.
“Aw, DAD! You mean we can’t run off and have hot wild animal sex? Aw man! You take all the fun out of life!” Laura said to me then pouted. I could feel my eyes moving in their sockets. “Wow pops, chill… and your eyes belong IN the sockets… not on the floor…”
“Ah shuddup.”
“Are you telling me to shut up?” she asked faking being insulted.
“Maybe…”
“Ass…”
“Watch the language,”
“MAKE ME! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”
“Wow you’re really starting to scare me!”
“Then my job is done here… oh Nicky boy!” she called out going to find a new person to torture.
“What am I gonna do with her?” I wondered aloud.
“Send her to a institute... please…” Howie said, grabbing a soda from the refrigerator.
“THEY’RE COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY, HEE, HEE, HA, HA, HO, HO, TO THE FUNNY FARM! WHERE EVERYONE’S HAPPY ALL THE TIME! I GET TO SEE THOSE MEN IN WHITE COATS… NA HA HA HA!” she called from the other room.
“Not a bad idea D… Remind me again why we decided we would all share one bus to the next city?”
“I dunno it was your idea! Something to do with 3 teenage girls?”
“Oh god… Laura! Leave poor Nick alone! Please!” I called into the next room.
“NEVA!!” she called back. I just looked at Howie for help.
“Hey! She’s your kid!”
“Don’t remind me…”
“I heard that buster!”
“Good for you! Howie… help? Please?” I begged.
“Nope… she’s all yours…’
“Aw man… God help me…” just then Nick came running into the room, his hair braided into the tiniest braids possible… his whole head done… with little pink and purple bows at the end of each braid.
“Hid me…” he squeaked, dashing under the small table.
“Oh Nicky boy… I’m not done… its time for some lipstick…” she said, walking into the kitchen area… carrying bright red lipstick… and I mean Crayola red. “Have any of you seen Nicky boy? Or shall I say Nicole?”
“Laur, must you torture him?” I asked her.
“If you think this is torture… you haven’t seen anything yet. So have you seen Miss Nicole?”
“No… sorry,” Howie said sipping his soda.
“That’s ok… you’ll do!” she said, grabbing Howie by the ear and dragging him into the bunks.
“SAAAAAVE MEEEEEEEE!” he called back.
“May the force be with you Howie!” I called to him.
“Is she gone yet?” Nick whispered from under the table.
“Yeah, but she just went to get the right shade of lipstick to match the bows,” I told him, hmm… wonder how long he’ll stay under there. He just whimpered.
“Howard… come back here you little munchkin!” she called as Howie came running in and hiding with Nick… his hair also in little braids with pink bows… but only she had gotten the lip stick on him….
“Laura… leave the guys alone…”
“But they love it…”
I looked under the table where Nick and Howie were shaking… “No Hun, I don’t think they do.”
“Well what would you like me to do?”
“I dunno… go… find AJ and dye your hair again…” I said, regretting it as soon as the words came out of my mouth.
“OK! AJ dearest… daddy dear said to dye my hair….” She said leaving the room.
Laura’s POV
Wow… I still can’t believe he told me to go dye my hair. Oh well! Whatever!
“So what are we doing now?” AJ asked me.
“I dunno, surprise me… but no rainbow and don’t cut my hair…”
“Alright…”
“Have fun!” I said closing my eyes, and let the master do his work.
~20 Minutes Late~
“All done!” he said and picked up a mirror and showed me what he had done. My hair was now semi-normal. He had washed out the blue, and it was now highlighted blonde, with the front few pieces, shorter than the rest and blue. I have to say… it looked very cute.
“Thanks JJ!” I said hugging him.
“Anytime Brownie…” he hugged me back. Then I went back to the kitchen area to show off my new hair do to my father.
“Oh, Laur, love the hair,” Howie said, rolling his eyes at me, as he undid one of the many braids I had put in his hair. “Just what we need, another AJ!”
I was about to flip him off, but my dad gave me the look… ya know the one I’m talking about right? Yeah… the one that’s says you do, you’re grounded for all eternity. Yeah, not my idea of fun…. So I put both of my hands behind my back and began to sing, popping out my middle fingers. “Where is tall man? Where is tall man? Here I am! Here I am! How are you today sir? Very well I thank you, run away… run away.”
“Laura Jeanne!” my Dad scolded astonished that I would even think about doing anything after his look. Ha-ha! Shows how much he knows!
“What? I was getting in touch with my inner child,” I said, rolling my eyes at him.
“Sure ya were… do it again and you’re grounded,”
“Oh yeah, I just go so many places! The bus… the venue… the bus… the venue… Oh! And we can’t forget our occasional interview and photo shoot! Trust me Pops… I’d rather be grounded!” with that I walked away to go retrieve my friends from the torture of hearing Brian reminisce about his child hood.
“And then there was the time that Kevin and I were in the park, and Harold, that’s my brother, he came up from behind us, and scared us… and I pooped in my pants.” Brian told Liz and Amanda, as they sat there looking helpless. I just shrugged at them. Poor babies…
“Alright Brian… it’s time to take your medicine now…”
“My Flintstone vitamins?” he asked excited.
“O god… sure, why not?”
“OK!” he said, and ran into the kitchen to take his Flintstone vitamin. “HEY!”
“What now?” Amanda asked.
“LAURA!” he whined.
“What?” I whined back.
“Nick ate all the red ones!”
“Oh God!” Liz said, throwing her hands up in the air, giving up.
“Ah, the life on the Backstreet tour bus… I’m coming Brian…”
Well, now I gotta go get Brian more Flintstone vitamins and tell Kevin to find a new cousin… then I think I’m gonna get Liz and Amanda to help me do Nick’s make up… what do you thinks more his color? Baby blue or violet eye shadow… hmm…
