Top 'O The Morning
Author's Note- This St. Patrick's day story is dedicated to Shannon and Denise, the BSB lovers of my school.
"That parade was awesome!" Joey exclaimed as the guys from Nsync jogged back to their bus.
"It was awesome until THEY showed up," Justin grumbled, looking over his shoulder at the Backstreet Boys.
"Why do they have to copy us on everything?" Chris asked.
"They can't think for themselves," J.C. replied with a straight face.
The guys had all just participated in the St. Patrick's day parade in New York, and now night had fallen and they were going to turn in early for their photo shoot in the morning. Moreover, they were sick of hearing the Backstreet Boys brag about their popularity.
"We can't let this holiday slip by with out getting even," Joey whispered to Justin and Chris. "It's not…'Nsyncish."
Justin glared at Nick Carter, who was showing off his annoying smile and making the girls scream. "What do you plan we do?" he asked.
"Well, we wish they would die, right?" Joey asked mischievously.
"Yeah, most of the time," Justin replied.
"Oh my God, you're going to KILL THE BACKSTREET BOYS?" Chris yelled, drawing attention to the group.
Joey pushed Chris on the bus. "No stupid, let me finish," Joey said.
Chris glared at him.
"Yellow and blue make green, right?" Joey asked, smiling again.
"Wait…um…"
Joey rolled his eyes. "I say we use Justin's blonde hair dye, mix it with Lance's blue, and sneak over to the Backdoor Boy's bus and do a little touchin' up."
Chris thought for a moment, still trying to decide what colors made green. Then finally, a light went on. "Ha! I get it! We're gonna die their hair while they sleep!"
"What are you morons planning to do now?" J.C. asked, hitting Chris on the head as he walked by.
"We're gonna-"
Joey covered Chris's mouth before he could tell. "Nothing. If we told you, we'd have to kill you."
"Just don't get arrested, okay?" J.C. asked. "Because I'm not gonna go to the jail to bail you out."
"Yes mother," Joey teased, patting Chris on the head.
J.C. watched skeptically as Joey and Chris ran to the bathroom, grabbing Justin on their way by.
"They're gone," AJ said through his plastered smile.
"Finally," Nick sighed, handing an autographed CD cover back to the crowd.
"Guys, they scare me. What if they're planning something?" Howie asked.
"Like they can think," AJ laughed.
"Guys, you're not slamming our rivals in public again, are you?" Kevin asked.
"Of course not," Brian said. "They just making fun of them."
The screams nearly covered up the criticizing voices, and while they relished in it, they were growing deaf. "Can we go now?" Nick whined. "We already stayed out longer then Nsuck."
"WHAT?" Kevin yelled.
"WHY?" Nick yelled.
"This sucks!" AJ yelled. "I'm outta here!"
AJ pushed his way through the mass of screaming girls and headed towards their bus, which ironically happened to be parked beside the Nsync bus. Sighing, the others followed.
J.C and Lance looked at each other as they listened to the other three gagging behind the closed bathroom door. "What are they doing?" Lance asked.
"I have no idea. Probably something illegal," J.C. replied, rolling his eyes as he flipped through the TV channels.
In the bathroom, Joey was busy mixing bottles of hair dye while the others watched.
Chris looked over Joey's shoulder, coughing as he inhaled the strong, nauseating odor. "How come it's brown?" he asked, turning on the bathroom fan.
"I don't know, it always looks brown. It's just got to set up," Joey guessed.
Justin stood in the corner, rubbing his stinging nose and reading the box. "Hey guys?" he started. "It says on the back of the box that you're suppose to use it right away."
Joey dropped the bottle in the sink in annoyance. "Well that sucks," he said.
"Just mix it with some water tonight," Chris volunteered.
Joey looked at Chris skeptically. Then a smile lit his face. "That's a boy," he smiled, patting Chris on the head. "Good job!"
"I'm always thinking," Chris beamed.
AJ peered through the bus window with his binoculars. "I think they are up to something," he whispered to Nick.
"What are they doing?" Nick asked, pressing up against AJ to look out the window.
"They're all in the bathroom together," AJ said, making a face.
Nick choked on his gum and went to sit down as Brian took his place. "Are they doing it?" Brian asked curiously.
"I don't think so," AJ said, straining to see through his binoculars. "I think they're all admiring Joey's dick."
"What are you guys doing?" Kevin sighed, getting up and standing behind AJ.
"Nothing," AJ snapped, taking down his binoculars.
"Well knock it off," Kevin replied. "We're in New York City, and the last thing we need is for you guys to start up some rumors and get us sued."
"Okay dad," AJ grumbled.
As soon as Kevin sat in front of the TV, AJ got an idea. "Hey," he whispered to Brian. "I got an idea."
"Did you hurt yourself?" Brian asked sarcastically.
AJ glared at Brian then continued, "No, I didn't hurt myself," he mocked. "I got a kick ass idea on how we can totally humiliate Nsync."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This is gonna be so cool," Justin giggled.
He, Joey and Chris crept through the protective darkness of the night and quietly approached the Backstreet Boy bus. Joey carried the container of pukeish colored hair dye, which sloshed around as they walked. Chris walked in front of the other two, carrying a flashlight.
"I know," Joey whispered. "I'm glad I thought of it."
Crickets chirped harmoniously in the dark, barely audible over the sound of cars on the streets. The guys reached the bus and Joey stepped in front of Chris and slowly opened the door. It creaked slightly as Joey pushed it open, and soon the heavy scent of cologne seeped out the open door and into the cool night air.
"Shh," Chris said, staying close to Joey.
"I am," Joey whispered.
"It's a good thing they don't have those dogs," Justin whispered, making the others freeze for a second.
Joey took the flashlight from Chris and headed back the bus. "It's exactly like our bus," Joey whispered with astonishment as he looked around.
"Losers," Chris replied.
The three slowly made their way to the five sleeping Backstreet Boys with minimal noise. They each wore rubber gloves so the dye wouldn't stain their hands and leave obvious evidence. Joey set the flashlight on the floor so it pointed on the ceiling then took the lid off the large container of hair color. Smiling, they each took a handful of the putrid smelling dye and started on a sleeping Boy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An annoying alarm clock went off, bringing AJ from his deep, peaceful sleep. He hit the 'off' button quickly so it wouldn't wake the others. The time read 1:52 am as AJ stretched and yawned. 'Funny,' he thought. 'I can already smell the hair dye.'
He brushed it off and got up to wake up Nick and Brian.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once Joey, Chris and Justin had gotten outside, they erupted in laughter.
"They deserve it," Joey replied.
"Yeah, we were just getting them in the mood for the season," Chris added.
"I read on the box that the longer you leave that stuff in, the more it sets in," Justin grinned.
"Well I guess they'll be pretty green in the morning," Chris said, following Joey back inside their own bus.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I can't believe you're actually going to sneak on their bus," Brian whispered as he, AJ and Nick snuck across the dark parking lot.
"WE are going to sneak in," AJ corrected.
"How did I get dragged into this?" Brian asked, trying to sound offended.
"Don't you think dying their hair green is a bit harsh?" Nick asked, shinning the flashlight on the ground in front of them.
"No," AJ said quickly and flatly. "They pushed us off TRL, now they're gonna pay," AJ grinned.
They reached the door to Nsync's bus and AJ opened it slowly. The door creaked slightly, and AJ opened it quickly. Brian carried the jar of green hair dye, which they had bought earlier at a local Kmart. As they snuck through the bus, the three realized this bus looked a lot like the bus they had just come from. Nick laid down the flashlight so that it shone on a wall, giving just enough light for them to see what they were doing.
"Here," AJ said to Brian and Nick as he held out the jar. "Don't get skimpy, we got enough here to dye every hair on their body-"
Seeing AJ's distant smile, Nick interrupted, "NO. No way. Forget that right now!"
"Wimp," AJ whispered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joey woke with a smile on his face. The sun was beginning to rise, and soft gold light filtered in through the small bus windows. As he lay on his back and stare at the ceiling, he thought, 'Boy that dye is strong, I can still smell it.'
He took a deep breath, nearly gagging on the horrible odor. He rubbed his eyes tiredly, then ran his hands through his hair. And froze.
"What the-?" he started, sitting up. He continued to feel his hair, running his fingers through a sticky substance. He looked at his hand and found they had turned green.
He looked to the others and screamed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AJ started coughing, shaking himself out of a nice, revengeful dream. He opened his eyes and looked around, trying to determine the source of the strong, throat-stinging smell. His eyes rested on Kevin, who was sleeping across from him.
AJ's mouth dropped open as he looked at the other and saw the same thing. All their hair had been dyed green. "Shit," he cursed, throwing his pillow on the ground.
"I'm gonna kill them!!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Joey yanked open the bus door at the same time AJ burst through his. Both groups filtered out onto the softly lit parking lot, glaring at each other. They lined up across from each other, standing only a foot apart.
They all asked the question at once, "What the hell did you do?"
"I didn't do anything!" Joey yelled.
"My ass you didn't, look at my hair!" AJ yelled back.
"Hello, genius, do you think my hair is normally green?" Chris asked.
"Well you started it!"
"How did we start it?"
"You purposely tailed us during the parade!"
"Yeah right, whatever-"
"Guys!" Kevin and J.C. yelled together.
The other stopped arguing and glared at each other.
Kevin sighed. "Whatever you guys got going, please work it out right now. I don't want to wake up one morning to find the bus on fire or anything, okay?"
J.C. turned to Joey, Justin and Chris. "I told you three not to do anything illegal," he scolded.
"We didn't!" Justin replied.
"Hello…breaking an entry?" AJ said sarcastically.
"What do you think you did?" Chris shot back.
"Hey guys!" a voice called. The guys turned to see a photographer drive by in a black car. "Smile!"
Finnis!
