It had been almost two weeks, the tour was going great and Alex and Nick had been having a lot of fun. They were now in Australia, the last concert was that night and then they would be flying home. Even though Nick had put a stop to the pranks, he couldn't help himself, he had to pull another prank. He obviously didn't remember that Alex could play his little games.
"Are you sure this will work?" Alex asked A.J. crossing her arms.
"It should."
A.J. heard someone coming, "Quick, get over their." A.J. walked out of Alex's room looking a little ruffled and ran into the person he wanted to see, "Oh hi Nick." before Nick could answer he went into his room.
Nick saw A.J. come out of Alex's room and didn't like what he saw. He knocked on the door, "Hey Alex, you in there?" He heard someone moving around..
Alex heard Nick and said, "Hold on a sec." She waited a minute before opening the door and acted like she was buttoning up her shirt.
Nick looked at her for a minute, a cold hard look and then walked off. Alex looked after him, and smiled. A.J.'s door opened, "You think he thought...?"
Alex nodded, "How long should we wait before telling him it was a set up?"
"Ahh, let him sweat a little.."
Alex shrugged and went back in her room.

Nick stomped into his room and slammed the door, "That Bi..." he stopped mid sentence when he saw Aaron and Jason looking up at him
"What’s wrong?" Jason asked
"Nothing." Nick answered falling on the bed. How could she do that? he asked himself. With him of all people!!
*****************
The next day Alex went down to Nick's room and knocked on the door. He answered it in only a few minutes
"Hey, I just wanted..."
"I don't want to hear it." with that he shut the door right in her face.
Alex stood there for a minute, not sure on what just happened and then knocked again. This time Nick was mad when he opened the door. He got right down in her face, "Look, I have things to do!! If you want to bug someone go bug A.J.!!!" with that he slammed the door
Alex stood their shocked, he really thought that... "I can't believe him." She left to go find A.j. and ended up running into Brian.
"Hey Ale...wow, what's wrong?" Brian asked
"You know how A.J. was telling you that we had the best prank to pull on Nick..." Alex explained the situation to Brian and he nodded
"Sounds like you guys have gotten into it alright.. you want me to go talk to him?"
"Oh would you please?"
"No problem."
Brian went to talk to Nick and Alex went to find A.J.
******
Nick was sulking in his room when he heard another knock. Can she just not give up? He was about to open the door and yell at her but stopped when he saw Brian
"Hey man, what's up?"
"Nothin." Nick mumbled
"Well, I talked to Alex and.."
"Did she tell you what she did?!?" Nick interrupted
"Yeah, she told me about the joke, and that you didn't find it funny."
"Joke? No I'm talking about.."
"The joke." Brian interrupted "It was a set up, and you fell for it."
"I, she, what? Are you telling me that that was.."
"That's what I am telling you. So, why don't you go find her and tell her that she pulled it off."
Nick looked skeptical for a minute, "You're sure?"
"positive, A.J. told me about it yesterday."
Nick looked relieved and felt so too, "Thank God!" with that he left Brian standing there to go find Alex.
***************
Alex found A.J. in the pool with Howie, Kevin and the boys. "A.J., I need to talk to you."
"What about?" he asked moving to the side of the pool
"Nick really thinks.." she left it at that and A.J. understood "Go talk to him."
"Okay."
"I mean NOW A.J.!!"
"I'll talk to him later, but I think you should get in."
"No!!" Alex said backing away but A.J. grabbed her ankle. Alex continued to scream but A.J. got the boys to help and within a matter of minute’s cloths, shoes and all she was in the pool. She started to splash the, "you idiots!!"
****************
They had gotten out and Alex was trying to somewhat dry herself off. She lost her balance and was about to fall back in when A.J. grabbed her wrist and pulled her close. Nick just happened to walk in at that very moment.
"You can not tell me that this is a prank!!" with that he stormed out.
Alex just looked up at A.J., "That boy is moody!"
**********************
Nick was still not talking to her when they got on the plane to go home the next day. He sat down next to Brian and didn't even give her a second look. Alex shrugged it off hoping that he would get over it and sat down next to A.j. Halfway during the flight Brian got up and as he walked by Alex said, "Go talk to him." Alex sighed and then got up to go try to talk some sense into her boy.
