After teasing the girls for about ten minutes Tommy and Tim decided to rescue them and bring them backstage. They were laughing pretty hard as the five of them reached the other members of the crew. Dennis asked them what was so funny and they had no problems telling the story. Denise apologized for not thinking of giving them each an all access pass. Tim just laughed it off and went over to where Angie was, she got his mind off the topic pretty fast.
The girls just waited around in the background while the Boys met with a few fans who were contest winners. They sat around and talked with Jane and Denise mostly. Denise wasn't as stressed out today as she had been in the past few days. She was actually able to stop and take a much needed rest.
"So have you girls been having fun?" She asked.
"Oh yeah, it's been a blast." Responded Jenn and the other two nodded their heads in agreement.
"I hope our Boys are being good to you." Jane said.
"Well I think they are." Said Laura chuckling, "Except for when Aj and Mickey fight and when Tommy and Tim sit back and laugh at us while we're freaking out. Oh am I leaving anything out?" She asked her friends.
"Me and Aj don't fight, we just pick on each other." Mickey said in her defence.
"He likes to pick on people that's for sure. It's good though that you're standing up to him and letting know that you have just as much power as he does." Denise said.
"Oh my gosh you should have seen it when Aj and Nick started fighting when Mickey was driving, she stopped right in the middle of the road and yelled at them. I wish I was there cause it would have been so funny." Jenn explained excitedly as Jane and Denise started laughing. Mickey turned red, she could just imagine what Denise and Jane must of thought of her. They probably thought she was the bitch from hell or something.
A little while later the guys were ready to leave so everyone headed out. All five of them were very tired and happy that they had tomorrow off. They were going to fly to Halifax tonight and rest there for their next concert. The Boys decided to fly instead of take the bus because they wanted the time to rest and explore. The bus ride would have been about fifteen hours where as the plane ride would only take an hour and a half.
They went from the arena to the hotel, got everything ready to go and then split up into a few vans and headed to the airport. The buses would meet them in Nova Scotia the next day. Everyone kind of split up. Tommy went to New York for his day off, something he and AJ did a lot. Tim and Angie decided to take the bus, they wanted the time alone and the scenery was really pretty. All of a sudden Tim was stricken with a romantic mood. Dennis, Obie and Freddy went back to Toronto, Jane and Aaron took their bus and Denise decided to go to Florida to see her mother. Mickey couldn't believe how far they were going when they only had a day off. Then she thought about it, Florida and Toronto were the furthest destinations and they were only a three hour plane ride from Halifax. She could see why they would want a break.
There were fans waiting for them when they got to the airport. It wasn't too bad though cause there were only a few. Kevin and Howie went over to a couple of them right away. AJ went with Laura to get a magazine and Jenn wanted to call Rick. Nick, Mickey and Brian went to look at magaizines too but they went to the bookstore instead of the corner store. When Jenn got off the phone she joined up with Mickey while the guys were in a different section.
"So how's Rick?"
"Oh he's good I guess. I don't know what's going to become of this. I mean I don't know how long we'll be going with the guys. I'm definately not going to give up this opportunity and go back home."
"How do you feel about Rick?"
"I just met him so I don't know. I'm just getting to know him."
"Yeah but suprisingly enough you don't have to know someone for very long to know that you like them."
"Are we still talking about me and Rick or has the conversation switched to you and Nick?"
"What?" Mickey said looking at Jenn. "Neither, I'm talking in general."
"I thought you didn't believe in love at first sight?"
"I didn't say anything about love. I just think that sometimes you know right away if you click with someone. I still think you need time to really find out who that person is but in the begining you can kind of figure out if it's worth getting to know them. Know what I mean?"
"Yeah I know what you mean. God you and your words of wisdom! What if I don't know whether it's worth it or not?"
"Then you don't know. Stick around until you do. You only just met him and you haven't even spent much time with him so I don't know what to tell you. Just be up front with him, don't lead him on or anything."
"I do know that I want to keep travelling like this! I'm having so much fun. I don't want to go back if I don't have to. I know that we won't be with them forever or even all the time but I don't want to miss anything."
"And I don't wanna miss a thing, even when I close my eyes I think of you...." Brian sang as he startled the girls. "What we talking about?" He asked innocently. "What don't you want to miss?"
"She doesn't want to miss anything, didn't you hear her?" Mickey said sarcastically.
"Ha ha!" Replied Brian, just as sarcastically. "Are you guys ready to go to the gate now?"
"Yeah sure." Said Jenn, relieved the subject was quickly changed.
"Didn't see anything you wanted?" Mickey asked Nick.
"Yeah, oh you mean a magazine." He said with a smirk on his face. "Naw, I probably won't get much reading in tonight. I'm really tired and it's past my bedtime." He chuckled. Mickey looked at her watch.
"Oh my gosh I didn't know it was that late! It's after midnight! You must be beat."
"Yeah, sorry but I'm afraid I won't be very good company on the plane. I'll be asleep before we take off."
"That's ok, I don't mind." She said looking up at him.
"Yeah and he snores really loud too!" Joked Brian.
"Whatever Bri."
When the four of them arrived at the gate they saw the others already sitting and waiting. Some fans were near by but they were staying away, some were taking pictures. A bunch of them screeched when they saw Nick and Brian. The four of them went and joined the others. They no sooner sat down and plane started to board. As the five guys walked through the gate they turned around and blew kisses to the fans. The Boys laughed as they walked down the isle to the plane. It still amazed them how they could get such reactions out of girls.
Once on the plane Laura and Aj sat on one side of the plane with four of the gaurds. The others sat across the isle on the other side of the plane. Mickey sat by the window, Nick sat across from her and Jenn sat next to her. Howie sat next to her and Brian sat across from her and Kevin sat next to him. There weren't too many people on the plane, they probably could have their own seats but they decided to stick together. The steward handed out pillows and blankets to everyone as the headed off down the runway. Shortly after take off Nick, Brian and Howie were asleep. Kevin was on his way to dreamland but he had some lyrics going through his head and he wanted to work through them a bit. AJ and Laura were wide awake and chatting quietly.
"What's going on with those two?" Jenn asked. "Did I miss something while I've been talking to Rick?"
"I don't know. I think I've missed something as well. I'm always the last to know these things anyhow."
"Oh that's not true. Everyone goes to you first, we all need your wise wisdom."
"Wise wisdom? As opposed to dumb wisdom?" Mickey joked.
"You know what I mean!"
"I'm just picking!"
"What's going on with you and sleepy poo over there?"
"Nothing." Mickey answered as she looked over at Nick while he slept. "Nothing." She said again, this time to nobody in particular.
"I don't know, it doesn't look like nothing." Jenn said looking over at Mickey. "You like him don't you?"
"Oh Jenn..." Mickey looked solemly at her friend.
"You're scared aren't you?" Jenn probed. "Of what? Matthew or falling in love?"
"Matthew? No I'm not afraid of him! Remember him and Jill? Jill and him? Plus it was his idea to break up."
"So then it's love you're afraid of."
"I didn't say that. I'm just being careful, that's all."
"Careful of what?"
"Look can we talk about this some other time?" Mickey asked as she glanced at Nick, hoping he was still asleep, which he appeared to be.
"Alright then. Are you ok though?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Just a little more nervous then scared I think."
"It'll be fine. You'll see."
"Ok then. I'm keeping my eye on you though."
Both girls laughed and changed the subject. Kevin had fallen asleep and they looked over at AJ and Laura who appeared to be asleep as well. Mickey and Jenn quietly talked for the rest of the trip, neither of them were really tired. Before long, they were preparing for the landing. They had to wake up all the guys. Nick was very groggy and didn't want to wake up. Brian managed to get him up though by hitting him and saying that if he had to get up then everyone else did. Mickey and Jenn giggled at the two of them while they bickered. Thankfully there were no fans at the airport waiting for them. None of them were in the mood to be greeted by anyone. They all got their luggae without problem and headed to the hotel.
