"That was fun Nick. Really, it was. We should do stuff more often. I don't get to see ya enough boy. You hiding out?" Angelina teased Nick when they got back on the bus. Nick shook his head no. "Of course not, why would I hide from you?"
Angel shrugged her shoulders. "Cause you hate me." She laughed.
"Oh, no, you got me! I thought you'd never realise it." Nick teased and ran away. "Oh boy, you're gonna get it!" Angelina yelled and ran after Nick.
"NICK OPEN UP!!"
"NOPE."
"COWARD!"
"YEP, AND PROUD OF IT." Angel giggled and walked away from the bathroom in which Nick had locked himself in.
"Hey Angel, where's Nick?" Brian asked as everyone piled back on the bus.
"He's hiding out in the bathroom." AJ laughed
"Why would he do that?"
"Cause he's AFRAID OF ME." She yelled to make sure that Nick heard her.
"HOW DO YOU KNOW I'M NOT REALLY TAKING A CRAP?" Nick yelled from the bathroom and everyone laughed.
"Oh God, I hope not, the bus will smell for weeks." Brian said in between laughs.
"I HEARD THAT!" Nick yelled and everyone kept laughing.
"Oh hey Leigh, I wanna show you the stuff I bought at the mall." Angel said once everyone was done laughing. "Okay, lets go. Brian, wanna come see what mommy bought?"
"No, I wanna play with bone." Aj pumped his fist in the air. "The kid still loves me. Come on Bri, I'll show you how to dye your hair."
"AJ, you touch one piece of hair on my kid's body and I swear to God I'll kill you." Angelina threatened before walking away with Leighanne.

"Oh wow, that's beautiful. Where you going to wear that?"
"Um, well, probably to the Grammys. Brian said that I have to go so...I guess now I have something to wear."
"Oh yeah, I need to find something to wear to the Grammys want to go shopping tomorrow?"
"Sure, I still need to find some shoes to go with this dress so that'd be perfect."
"What are yoi going to do with Brian?" Angel shrugged. "I'm not sure. If worse comes to worse though, Nick said that we can bring him with us. But I don't know if I want to do that because then the fans will know that Nick has a son."
"Well, they had to find out sometime. Why not now? Then Nick can do say something about him and you in the Teen People magazine or something like that Jeff dude from 98º did two years ago?"
"I don't know. Jeff was in love with her and they're married now. Nick and I aren't even in love. I'm going out with someone else. What kind of impact is that going to have on the fans?"
"I'm not sure. But they have to face it sometime. I mean, Brian and Kevin are married, Howie's engaged and AJ has a girlfriend. They all knew it was going to happen sometime."
"Yeah, I know but how do we explain having a son but not being in love? That's a problem there, not a very good example for the youth."
"Oh well, at least Nick is taking care of his responibilities whether you guys are in love or not."
"Yeah true. Hey Leigh, I have a question. Do you know if Nick still loves me? Because the reason I left last time was because Nick told me he loved me and I'm just hoping that he got over that love ya know?"
Leighanne nodded. "Hmm, I'm not too sure if he loves you or not. But I bet he does. You just don't forget someone you love. I bet he loves you." Leighanne teased and Angel groaned. "God, I hope not."

About five hours later, Nick finally opened the door to the bathroom. He slowly crept out hoping to not get noticed.
"HA!! I SEE YOU! ANGEL!!!" AJ yelled when he spotted Nick. "Oh, thanks a lot Bone." Nick groaned when Angelina came running out of the back. "ha, I got you." She giggled and chased him up and down the bus.
Everyone just shook their head and laughed, but then continued on with what they were doing. Finally Angelina caught up to Nick in the TV room and jumped on his back. He fell to the ground and she pinned him there. "Now what did you say about me Nick?"
"Um, I seem to have forgotten." He smirked up at her and she shook her head. "That's not good enough. What did you say? Cause I seem to remember you saying that you hate me."
"No, I'd never say that. I love ya girl." He looked up at her and grinned. She rolled her eyes. "That better be it. If I hear to dissing me again, I'll kill you."
"Is that a threat?"
"Yep." Angelina let up and Nick took this as an opportunity to pin her. He flipped her over and was now on top of her pinning her down. "So what are you going to do missy?"
"Um. I seem to have forgotten." She smirked playing his game. "Oh yeah? Cause I seem to remember you saying you'd kill me. Do you know how many angry twelve year old girls would be after you if you did that?"
"Oh well."
"Oh well?!?! Oh well?! Is that all you have to say for yourself?!?" Angelina nodded and Nick glared at her. "Okay, that's it." He started tickling her. Angelina screamed out. "Nick stop! Please! I promise, oka, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that. Bad judgement on my part. Now PLEASE STOP!" She managed to get out between giggles.
Nick stopped and looked her in the eyes. "Are you sorry?" She nodded. "Will you ever say that again?" She shook her head. "Very well then, I'll let you go now." But he didn't let go. Instead, her looked her in the eyes and slowly inched his face towards hers. Then he kissed her.
