Melissa knocked on Nick's door, the hall quiet from being morning. He opened the door with a smile. "You called?" she said as she stepped inside the room.

"Yep!" he replied as he suddenly stooped down, wrapped his arms around her waist to pick her up and spin in a circle. "I wanted to see you so much! Last night would've been so much better if you had been there, but it was still fun." He paused to set her down and press a kiss to her lips. "What are you doing today?"

"I don't know...nothing?"

"Well, the guys and I have this radio station thing...want to come along? Kev said it would be fine!"

"Sure...I guess..."

"Great!"

Melissa stepped into the radio studio and froze in awe. The Boys were ushered to their seats, given headsets and a quick intro to the DJ. Not knowing what to do, Melissa sulked back into a corner, amazed at the activity around her. She peered around wide-eyed as the interview started. Her gaze shifted to Nick as he and Brian joked and laughed along with the DJ.

Soon a commercial break came, and Nick flagged Melissa over. "What do you think?" he asked as she stopped next to him.

"It's amazing..." she replied, still in shock of where she was.

"Here..." he said as he wrapped a hand around the side of her waist and pulled her into his lap. "You shouldn't have to stand. Wanna do some of the interview?" Nick looked over at Kevin who nodded in approval.

"I don't know if I'll be able to talk! I'm nervous now..."

"Don't be...it's easy..."

The signal for the end of the commercial break come on and a pair of headphones were set onto Melissa's head.

"Hi, and welcome back to the show. We now have a sixth guest, a friend of the Boys. Why don't you say hi to the folks out there..."

"Hi, I'm Mel..." she replied into the microphone, her voice slightly shaking. Nick wrapped his arms around her in a small hug while the DJ rattled on about the album.

"So, Mel. Since you are an outside source other than the band...what do you think of Millennium?"

"It's good? I mean...there are so many different styles of songs on it that if you're in one mood you can listen to some of the songs...and if you're in a different mood you can listen to others and sometimes you just listen to all of it! Like...if you need to be energized you can listen to the fast songs...and if you wanna be mellow you can listen to the ballads. It's just a great CD..."

"Tiff! You will not believe what I did this afternoon!" Melissa shrieked as she ran into Tiff's room.

"No...but I'm sure you're going to tell me whether or not I care..." Tiff replied as she lifted her eyes from the book she was reading.

"I got to go with them to their radio interview, and Nick let me sit on his lap and I got to be on the radio!! The DJ asked me about Millennium and a few other things! It was so cool!!!"

"I'm happy for you..." Tiff murmured as she returned to her book.

"Cool...well, Nick and I are gonna go swimming, so I'll talk to you later!"

"Ok..." As soon as the door closed, Tiff's eyes widened and her mouth dropped. She leapt to her feet and ran over to Melissa's room. "But you don't have a suit!!"

Melissa laughed. "Nick and I stopped on the way back from the interview...he picked this out..." She held up a black sporty bikini of shorts and a top fashioned sort of like a sports bra with a v neck. The edges were done in bright white, the contrast perfect for Melissa's skin tone. Melissa skipped into the bathroom and quickly stripped her clothes and put the suit on while Tiff gently sat down on the bed and looked around her. In only a few days, Melissa had managed to spread all of her clothes across the entire room, draped on furniture, littering the floor. Tiff sighed and then shifted her eyes to her sister's coming out of the bathroom.

The suit was perfect for Melissa, the cut emphasizing her smooth curves. "How does it look?"

"It looks great, Mel. Go knock that boy dead!" Tiff told her with a smile before she stood up and walked to the door. "Have fun..." She then returned to her room.

Nick had just finished slipping his swimming trunks on as a knock sounded at his door. He opened the door to find Melissa's petite frame, a large Flyers jersey draped over her shoulders and a towel in her hand. "Ready to go, Nickers?"

"Yeah...let me get a towel..."

Soon the two were heading down the elevator to the indoor pool on the ground level. They ran in to find it empty. Melissa stripped off her hockey jersey and Nick froze just as he was about to leap in the pool. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "You act as if you've never seen a girl in a bathing suit," she said as she walked over to him. "Now get your ass in that pool..." She then proceeded to push him into the pool. Once he surfaced, his lips down turned to a scowl and he pulled himself out.

"This is war..." he said before picking her up and throwing her out to the center of the pool.

Sputtering, she came up and then glared at him as he jumped in casually. His grin was enough to anger her as she dove under, grabbing his ankles and sending him flying off balance and down under the water.

He soon had her by the waist, lifting her over his head and throwing her back in the water.
