-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-DAY ONE=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

The Next morning the girls woke up to the stopping of the bus. They all soon found that they were in front of a hotel. "I guess this is wear were staying." Mandy stated as she got out some clean clothes. ~~ "BRIAN!!" Nick yelled in is friends ear. "What man?" Brian jumped. "Get up man, were here!" Nick said. "Ohh" Brian said and he got up along with everyone else.

All the people on the tour went into there hotel rooms. The girls split up, Gwen was with Abby and the other 3 were together. All the guys had there own room.

"All right, everyone be on the bus in 15min. We have to go to the arena so set up!" Donna ordered. Everyone agreed. ~~ "Nick hurry up we gotta go!" Kevin said peeking his head into his room. "All right, I'm coming!" Nick said and he shut the door behind him.

After they got there they all 5ive of the girls and all 5ive of the guys went to practice there dances. After hours of doing that it was almost 4:00pm. Then they went into the dressing room to get into there clothes. Then make-up then they got to watch the arena be filled. "Guys I'm scared, there’s so many people out there" Abby stated to the other girls. "Abby, it will be ok, just look at Denise the whole time" Mandy stated. "Thanks Mandy" Abby replied now feeling a little better. "No prob" Mandy said and the soon found them selves watching Aaron do his thing.

This is when Abby really started to loss it. "I can't do it, I'm scared that I'll mess up!" Abby said taking a seat back stage. "What’s going on?" Brian asked coming into the room where all the girls were around Abby. "Nothing, Abby’s just scared." Shar said. "Abby come here, I'll help you" Brian said taking her hand. Brian brought her to the curtain and showed her all the people from back stage. "Abby remember when we were doing a concert in New York?" Brian started. "Yeah I remember, the thing with Phil" Abby added with a laugh. Brian smiled. "You don't know how scared I was that night, scared that I would mess up, but it was all in my head. Same thing with you, you are going to do fine, you are a great dancer, and even if you do mess up it won't mater, I mean come on Nick does it all the time!" Brian said laughing at that last part.

"Thanks Brian, I think I'll be ok now" Abby stated with a smile. "Now can I have one kiss for good luck, us guys gotta go on in ooh about 5ive min." Brian stated look at his watch. "Ok" Abby replied giving Brian a kiss. "Good luck Brian" Abby said as she left to find the other girls.

In what seemed like seconds the girls were all out there dancing with the guys. Then what seemed like a shorter amount of time the show was over and the all were rushed out of the arena to the hotel.

"So girls what did you think?" Kevin asked. "That was the best, I love it!" "Yeah us to!!" The other girls said agreeing with Faith. "Good" was the guys reply. "Well I don't know about all of you but I'm going to take a nice long shower" Abby stated heading to her and Gwen’s room.

"I think I left something in Abby’s room, I'll be right back" Brian said heading after Abby. The others just laughed. Then they all went to hang in AJ's room.

Brian walked into Abby’s room. Abby had just gotten her stuff ready to take a shower. "Brian! You scared me!" Abby said coming out of the bathroom. "Sorry, so what did I tell you, you were great tonight" Brian stated giving her a hug. "Thanks" Abby replied. Just then Abby got a sharp pain in her head. "Owww" Abby said then sat on the bed. "What is it Abby?" Brian asked worried. "Nothing, just that my head hurt for a second, but I'm ok now." Abby stated. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah Brian, I'm fine" Abby replied pulling Brian by her side. "So I heard Aaron likes you" Brian said. "He does?" Abby asked "Yeah, he like all of you, Its kinda cute" Brian said with a laugh. "Yeah" Abby agreed. "So where are we heading next?" Abby asked. "Well next is, Denver" Brian said. Brian and Abby sat in silence for a little while. "Well look I better get to my room before Donna comes in and takes me there by my ear." Brian said with a laugh. "Yeah alright" Abby said Brian gave Abby a soft kiss before leaving. Then he entered AJ's room where the rest of the guys were.

"Yeah B-Rok" Nick said. "Hi" Brian replied sitting on the bed. "So did you kiss her?" AJ asked always wanting to know this stuff. "AJ please, you don't need to know this" Brian stated. "Come on, please!" AJ begged. "Look I'm not the person to kiss and tell." Brian said. "Ohh so you did kiss her but you won't tell" AJ stated his theory. "Whatever Bone" Brian said laughing at him lightly. As did the others.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-A FEW DAYS LATER-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

The tour was heading to Canada next. Everything was going great but the girls were very tired. But they loved touring. "Man today we have hours of interviews" AJ whined. "AJ, you always like interviews" Denise stated. "I know, but I'm soo tired." AJ said. "Well tonight don’t stay out all night at clubs" His mom stated. "Yes mom" AJ replied.

"Abby look we gotta talk" Brian said leading her into the back of the guys bus. "What is it Brian?" Abby asked now worried. "Well as you know we have tons of interviews today, and were probably gonna be asked if we have girlfriends or boyfriends. Now the thing is I want you to be sure that your ready for all this. If we do tell people. So are you ready or do you want to wait" Brian said "Well, I think I'm ready, but I don't know if I'll regret it. I don't know Brian." Abby stated. "Well how about if it comes up it comes up. But if they don't ask we wont say anything" Brian suggested and Abby agreed.

They all soon found themselfs in the middle of an interview.

"This is a question for Brian. From a fan in New York tuneing into Much Music. And she asks. 'Brian will you marry me?'"

Brian: "Well you should think about that before asking cuz maybe we wouldn't even get along to well" Brian stated use to that question.

"Well lets go to speaker Corner for the next one. 'Hi my names Liz and I want to know whats the deal with Brian and Abby, everyone says there together and I want to know if thats true?" Both Abby's and Brain's heart fell. Abby looked over a Denise with a help me look on her face. But she just nodded with a its alright tell look.

Brian: "Well theres a lot of stuff going around about us. So how about you the fans deside if you think its true. Cuz you never know, it might all be lies." Brian stated then they were on to the next questions.

After hour and hours of interviews everyone couldn't wait to go back to the hotel. They all soon arrived, at there hotel and all hung out in AJ's room but he wasn't there. "Man, this was a long day, I am so tired" Kevin stated falling over AJs bed. "Yeah man I don't evven know how many times I got asked if me and Abby were together." Brian sighed. "I think I'm gonna go to bed, I am dead tired" Abby said gettin up off the floor. "Aww come on Abby so far on this tour we haven't been out with you girls. Lets all go find a club that will let the girls in" Howie said. "But me and Nick never go to the clubs with you" Brian stated. "Well your going to tonight" Kevin stated and pulled them all out the door.

Within 1/2 hour they found a club and they got in. "Ok everyone meet back at the car in 3 hours" Howie stated. "3 hours by that time I'll be dead!" Abby stated already halk asleep. "Well you are going to have so much fun tonight and I'll make sure of that!" Howie said and he pulled her out onto the dance floor. They all just laughed.

"Hey can I cut in?" Some guy asked Brian who was now dancing with Abby. "Well sorry but were in the middle of talking about something" Brian stated. The guy just walked away and they went back to talking. "So, you think your going to take a liking to clubs?" Brian asked. "Well they all cool, but I don't think I'll ever like them as much as AJ, Howie and Kevin do." Abby replied. "Yeah I know what you mean" Brian said and they danced some more.

After about 2 hours everyone agreed it was time to go back to the hotel. There next stop would be New York City. They were doing a concert and being on MTV live so they would get to stay there 3 nights. When they got back to the hotel they found AJ laying on his bed with the lights still on and he was just stairing at the door way as they walked in. "Man, I am so beat!" AJ said getting up. "Well what did you do tonight?" Howie asked. "Well I met this girl and we danced but thats as far as we got." AJ said with a sad look on his face. "Next time Faith you gotta go out with me to a club. We would have a awasome time!" AJ said as he went over and stood by her. "Alright your on!" Faith agreed.

"Brian, I had fun tonight" Abby said as she sat on her bed next to Brian. "Yeah so did I" Brian replied. "You know what, I have to go talk to the guys, I will see you in the morning. ok?" Brian said sweetly. "Alright, g'night Brian" Abby stated giving him a hug. "Goodnight baby" Brian said giving her a kiss. Abby smiled at him and he left.

"Guys! I don't know what to do for Abbys b-day!!" Brian said in panic. "Brian we went over this already!" AJ stated. "I know but still, I want it to be nice for her." Brian said. "Well you want us all there or just you 2?" Howie asked on to something. "Well both." Brian replied. "Ok the first we go out to eat and hang out talking about all the fun stuff we've done together. Then you take her to the empier state biulding. When were in the city then give her that ring you were talking about and the neckles. Then after that take a walk, then you gotta take her like out for ice cream and when the night is over tell her how you feel like you never have before. Then you simply go to bed. IN SEPARATE BEDS!!!!!" Howie stated is idea. After they were all done laughing Brian said that "I like that, thats what we'll do!" Brian said with a smile and then thanked Howie for his help then went back to his and Nicks room to go to bed. Within no time everyone was sound asleep.

The next morning Mandy woke up to Kevin shakeing her. "Mandy get up were going to get something to eat then were out of here! No I'm going to get Donna and Aaron when I get back you better be out of bed!" Kevin yelled leaving the room.

With the next 1/2 hour everyone was eating and soon on there way to New York City! They all wanted to ride on the guys bus so thats what they did. "Well I don't know about you but I think Mandy sould eat more. She hardly eats anything!" Kevin stated. "Yeah I agree!" Faith said looking at Mandy. "Well its not my fault I don't eat much. When I'm hungry I'll eat!" Mandy said looking at everyone. Thats when everyone dropped it and started talking about the city.

"I think this well be my best visit to the city!" Brian siad looking at the guys. "Yeah thats good" Kevin said knowingly looking back at Brian. "Anyone want to play nintendo with me?" Nick asked. "I WILL!!" Aaron yelled jumping up from Abby and Gwens side. "Alright lets go!" Nick said heading into the back.

"I BEAT YOU HA HA" They all heard Aaron chime to Nick. "I let you win!" Nick defended himself. "Yeah right Nicky you lost!" Aaron yelled now running through the bus. Nick started to run after him he was about to get him when he triped over AJs foot. "AJ!!!!!!! You jerk you ment to do that!!" Nick yelled getting up of the ground. "Nick I was just playing, now cool it. You know I was just playing" AJ stated his defence. "Yeah whatever dog bone" Nick said leaving and slaming the door to the back of the bus..

"Great here we go again, Nickys going to be mad at for the next week!" AJ stated also gettin mad. "AJ, its not you fault. Thats just the way Nick is, he had a bad temper about stuff like that." Kevin asured him. "Yeah I know" AJ replied sitting back down as he let out a long sigh.

"Nick can I talk to you?" Brian said knocking on the door to the back. "Fine" Nick replied. "Nick look AJ was just playing you know that just as well as I do, you shouldn't really get mad like that. I mean come on none of the girls have ever seen you get mad like that. What are they gonna think?" Brian stated. "Brian, I know. I feel baad about it. The hope the girls will understand. But there is NO way I'm gonna talk to AJ!" Nick stated and that was that.

By the time Brian came out of the room the buses had stopped. "I think I'm going to ride on our bus!" Mandy said. "Yeah all of us are" Abby added and they went to get on there bus. "Great problems in the Backstreet bus!" Kevin stated. "Just what we need!" He added.

"Well Sorry to do this guys but I need to go see Abby, I'm missing her already" Brain said leaving the bus. "Hey girls" Brian stated comeing inot the bus. "Hey Brian" They all replied in union. "Theres going to be major fight on the backstreet bus. Theres nothing like a Nick Carter and AJ McLean fight. Cuz there both loud and get very mad." Brian stated sighing as he got into Abbys bunk. "Well I feel for you I really do" Shar said with a laugh. "Ohh thank you" Brain said as he pulled Abby in the bunk as she walked by. "Hey Abby" Brian said with a smile. "Hi Brian" Abby replied. "So what brings you in here?" Brian asked. "Umm I'm thinking your arm." Abby said with a laugh. But before she could say anything else Brian kissed her.

"I'm thinking I missed you" Brian said. Abby just gave him another kiss. "I'm thinking this" Brian said and started kissing her. But Abby pulled away after a few seconds.

"Was it something I did?" Brian asked. "No, its just that we have never kissed for real you know?" Abby stated now feeling really dumb. "Yeah I know, its ok. I better get back to the bus I think were about to take off again any sec anyway." Brian said giving Abby one last kiss before he left.

"Brian what took you so long?" Howie asked. "We were waiting on you!" Denise added. "Ohh sorry all, I was talking to Abby" Brian stated. They all just smiled and they were soon on there way....again.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*JUST ABOUT TO THE CITY~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"THEY DID WHAT!!!" Donna yelled into the phone. "Fine I'll be there as soon as I can" Donna said into her cell phone. "Whats going on??" Denise asked. "Well it seems that I have to take a plain to Canada. N'Sync bombed people from there hotel window with water bollons and all sorts of stuff!" Donna yelled. All the guys started to laugh. "Its not funny! There going to be in BIG troble!!" Donna said. That made the guys laugh harder. But then they all suddenly stopped when the got that eye from Donna. "Were sorry we shouldn't of laughed. Cuz we know what its like gettin in troble by you and Johny and its not a fun thing!!" Brian added.

"Watch it mr!" Donna stated looking at Brian and she sat on a seat.

"Ohhh Brian got yelled at" Nick teased. "Shut up Frack!" Brian stated playfully. "Frick, you just don't know when to keep your mouth shut" Nick added. By this time Brian and Nick were haveing a pillow fight. Then the other guys joined in. "Are you sure you'll be ok when I'm gone?" Donna asked Denise as they watched grown men have a pillow fight and act like 5 year olds. "I think so" Denise said and all was set.

"Abby you have been in there for the last hour now come out and lets have some fun!" Shar said peeking her head into Abbys bunk. Abby smiled and came out and thats when all the others smacked her with there pillows. "Thats it PILLOW FIGHT!!!!!" Abby yelled and then the beat each other with pillows for the next hour. Thats when they got to Manhattan. "Ohh looks like were here!" Mandy said looking at the Trum hotel they were staying at. "I hate this guy!" Abby stated. "Ohh yeah you do don't you. He said Hanson blows!" Gwen stated remembering that. "Yep" Abby stated with a kill look in her eyes.

"Hey Nick!" Gwen said. "Hey Gwen" Nick stated walking right by her. "Whats his problem?" Gwen asked Brian. "Hes still mad about AJ. He'll get over I'll talk to him for you" Brian stated. "Thanks" Gwen replied. "Ok I gotta get to the air port and go." Donna stated. Then she was off. "Yes!!!" All the guys said at the same time as they checked into the hotel. "You guys Donnas really nice what was that about?" Faith asked. "Yeah we know shes nice we love her. But shes also our manager but now that shes gone we get to be more free. To go CRAZY!!!!!" AJ said makeing a weird face. Everyone just laughed as they got into the elevator to go to the top floor.

"There wasn't that many fans here this evening" Kevin stated out of the blue. "Yeah we only had to sign a few things and stuff." AJ added. "Well maybe cuz thay didn't want to see your nappy but!" Nick added coldly. "Nick Stop it!" Gwen stated. "You tell him" AJ said. Nick was just quiet the rest of the way to floor 68 the top floor.

Gwen quickly dropped of her stuff in her room she shared with Abby then went to Nicks room to talk.

"Nick can I come in?" Gwen asked standing out side of the open door. "Yeah sure" Nick stated take a seat on the bed. Gwen came in a shut the door behind her. "Nick whats going on with you I have never seen you act like this?" Gwen asked. "Gwen, I'll work it out. Just give me time ok?" Nick said sweetly. "Fine, but make it fast." Gwen said about to leave. "Gwen don't leave!" Nick said grabbing her arm. "Well, what you want to do in here?" Gwen asked. "I don't care anything that keeps me away from Dog Bone" Nick said refering to AJ. Gwen just gave him an eye and he shut up.

Nick then leaned over and kissed Gwen. But she didn't pull away. Nick and Gwen both pulled away at the same time and just looked at each other. "Look, Gwen I didn't mean to. I can't" Nick said. "I know Nick, you don't want to get involved with a girl right now" Gwen said. "Yeah, I'm sorry I shouldn't have kissed you." Nick said. "No, I under stand 100%" Gwen said and she gave him a hug and left. Then she went to find Shar, Faith and Mandy.

"Brian, I feel bad about earlyer today in our bus." Abby stated. "No Abby, its totaly ok with me." Brian stated. "Come on, I'm your girlfriend and I wont really kiss you. Whats wrong with me?" Abby said falling back on her bed. "Abby nothings wrong with you, your just not like that thats all. I never was either. I'm still like that too. Thats one of the reasons I didn't care when you pushed me away. I use to do it all the time. I would panic, even if I really liked the girl" Brian stated. "Well maybe, but your gonna get sick of it after a while" Abby said turning to Brian. "Maybe but lets not think about it." Brian stated. "All right" Abby agreed.

"Abby, I want to take you somewhere for your b-day so we are all going out to eat and then somthing else but I can't tell you. ok?" Brian stated. "Alright" Abby said with a smile. She gave Brian a hug and they went to get the others hand and hand.

"Everyone ready?" AJ asked. Everyone agreed and they were off. They went to "Justins" To eat. They were seated and then they started talking.

"Remember when Faith flashed my mom?" AJ said with a laugh. "I remember." Denise stated. Aarons mouth droped to the table. "Shh we have little ears around" Nick said talking acting all big brother like. Everyone just laughed at the memory.

"I remember when I first went to meet you guys. I did not want to at all. Only cuz I was in a panic." Abby said laughing. "Ohh yeah I remember" Denise stated. "I remember when Mandy ran around the living room saying "I'm a nut" Kevin said luaghing. Mandy just blushed. "Well now that were done eating and its dark out I want to take Abby somewhere else" Brian said takeing her hand and lead her out of the restaurant then they started walking in through the city hand and hand.

"Man school starts in like 3 weeks, it sucks!" Abby stated sadly. "Well it'll be fun, you'll get to sleep in being at home." Brian said. That brought a small smile to Abbys face.

They soon got the Empire State building. "Brian what are we doing here?" Abby asked looking at him. "You'll see, now do you want to walk or take the elevator?" Brian asked. "Um how about the elevator." Abby said with a smile. "My pick would be the same." Brian said with a little laugh.

They soon got to the top. They were both just looking at each other, not saying a word as they looked over the city. "Man its so pretty up here" Abby stated lightly looking at Brian. "Yeah it is." Brian said putting his arms around Abbys waste. "Abby, I need you give you something" Brian stated as they looked into each eyes. Abby just looked at him.

Then Brian pulled a small box out of his pocket. It was silver. Abby smiled at Brian. "Go on open it" Brian said handing Abby the small box. "Ok" Abby agreed and took the box.

Abby began to open it. When she was done. She found a ring she slowly took it out. It was a silver ring, it had her name on it and Brians. "Ohh Brian, thank you so much." Abby said giving Brian a kiss on the lips. "Thank you" Abby said one last time. Brian just smiled at her. "Well, have something else for you too" Brian siad giving her a necklace. This one said My Love Abby smiled and huged Brian. "I love you Abby-Ray" Brian said giving her a quick kiss. "I love you too" Abby said and they just held each other.

NOTE: Abby Aria. (Aray) So Brian said Abby Ray. Cuz of her middle name.

They soon found them selfs walking all around New York just talking about anything and everything. "I think we sould get back to the hotel, we can hang out in my room" Brian stated looking at Abby. "Ok, thats fine." Abby agreed and they soon found themselves back at the hotel.

"Brian thank you so much for tonight, I had a great time!" Abby smiled as she layed next to Brian on his bed. "Anything for you" Brian said with a laugh at his new sweet self. Abby just looked at him and smiled. Before Abby could get back to her room. They both fell asleep.

THE NEXT MORNING

Everyone was wide awake but Brian and Abby. All the guys were trying to get into Brians room but couldn't they tried everything. "Ohh no guys Brians gonna get into so much trouble is Donna finds him. She got back really late last night." AJ informed them. "Ohh know, just what we need." Nick added. "Hey guys why are you all crouded around Brians room?" Donna asked coming down the hall. "Well we were just trying to get him up. Abby wanted to see him." Aj lied. "Ohh well I'll go get an extra key" Donna said and got on the elevator before any of the guys could stop her.

This is when the guys started pounding on Brians door. "Go away" Brian mumbled still in a deep sleep with Abby in his arms. "Guys I got the key look out I'm going in!" Donna said shewing the guys away from the door. "Ohh no here we go" Howie said and the all cleared the hall cuz there was going to be some yelling going on.

"Brian get up!" Donna said shakeing him. Brian opened his eyes and looked at Donna and he freaked. "Donna!!" Brian said jumping out of bed. "Brian get into my room now!" Donna ordered. "Wait Donna, please let me get Abby up, I don't want her to get into trouble for this." Brian begged. "Fine but make it fast!" Donna ordered and she was gone.

"Abby-ray, gotta get up" Brian said lighty. "Hmm?" Abby mumbled not even turning over. "Abby sweetie get up" Brian said moving her back and forth. Abby soon got up and smiled at Brian. "Hey Brian" Abby stated. "Hi" Brian replied. "Look, Abby, I gotta go talk to Donna shes kinda mad at me." Brina said. "Whats going on?" Abby asked. "Well shes the one that woke me up, so when she saw you here she freaked. And I am, going to be in some deep trouble." Brian stated giving a sigh. "Brian I am so sorry, I should have left when I was wide awake." Abby said now feeling really bad. "No, I liked haveing you here. It will be ok. Well I gotta go, wish me luck" Brian said giving Abby a quick kiss and he left.

He left to get into trouble to get talked to, well who knows. But he'll find out soon enough. Thats when he got into Donnas room and boy she didn't look to happy!
