"So you like Kevin?" Sarah asks
anxiously.
"I didn't say I liked him, I just said
I thought he was cute." Shena says
I look at the guys and realize that
the guys are getting ready for the interview. I look at the two girls
and say, "Hey, lets not talk about this now. Sarah and I need to
get ready, I heard the interviewers are going to talk to us about the film
and things like that."
"Really?!" Sarah asks
"That's what I heard, even though it
could have been an April Fool's joke." I say looking at the guys,
"Speaking of April Fools, I have an idea."
We all get in a huddle and start talking
when Howie walks up.
"What are you ladies up too?"
He says
I look at him and say, "Oh, nothing.
Come on Sarah we need to get ready."
Sarah and I walk down the hall towards
the dressing room. When we get in there I throw on my white tank
top and my Tommy overalls. Sarah threw on her purple sleavless and
a pair of CK Jeans. Sarah grabs a blown up woopie cushion out of
her bag. Just as Nick walks in the room she throws it to me and I
shove it in my pocket.
"What are you guys up too?" He
asks
"Just changing clothes. I'll be
back." I say walking out of the room.
Nick turns around towards me and says,
"Well, watch it. They're filming live out there. And they're
getting ready to interview Howie."
"I will." I say.
I walk down the hall slowly and notice
that there is a guy with a camera man interviewing Kevin who's sitting
in a chair.
When they announce they're going to
a commercial break. Brian gets up and walks away. I go and
sit in the chair.
Sarah walks down the hall with Nick,
and they join the guys and Shena.
"OK. Lets see what Howie has to
say." one of the men say.
Howie walks over and starts the interview.
"So how do you like doing a movie?"
the interviewer asks.
"I like acting. I think it's fun.
And all the actors are really nice." Howie says.
Howie looks down to take a seat and
the camera goes on me.
"I mentioned that the people were nice,
here's one of them now." Howie says smiling.
I get up from the chair and stand behind
it.
"Thanx" he says
Just as Howie sits in the chair I place
the woopie cushion in it. He sits on it and it makes a very loud
farting sound. AJ, Brian, Kevin, Nick, Sarah, and Shena bust out
laughing. I step back laughing as his face turns blood red.
The interviewer and camera man start laughing too.
"Excuse me for just a second please."
Howie says to the men.
Then he gets up and takes off for me.
I turn around and start running for AJ. I reach AJ and hide behind
him.
"Come on man, let me get her."
Howie says laughing
AJ puts his arms around me and says,
"I have to do my duty of taking care of her. Besides you have to
admit that was pretty sneaky."
Howie looks at me and says, "Just
you wait little girl." Then he walks back to the camera to finish
his interview.
Sarah runs over and gives me a high
five.
"That's for the slime!" she says
Nick, Brian, and AJ look at Kevin.
He looks at Sarah and me.
"Ummm... you know the slime thing was
mainly Howies’’ idea right?" He says
Sarah and I look at him and smile then
start to laugh.
Just then Ashley and Whitney walk through
the door. Sarah and I motion for them to join us.
They walk over to us all and say, "Hey."
Sarah says, "What are you two doing
here?"
"We thought we'd stop by and see how
your doing on this wonderful April fools day. Have you played any
pranks?" Whitney asks
"Actually you just missed one on Howie."
Nick says
"Ah man. I always miss the good
stuff." Ashley says
Howie gets up from the chair and walks
over to us.
"AJ, it's your turn." He says
looking at me.
I hide behind AJ while holding on to
his shirt smiling.
AJ turns around towards me and says,"I
need you over there anyway. You're gonna be on TV."
"Come again?" I ask confused.
"I've been on TV enough today."
AJ backs away from me smiling and starts
walking towards the cameras. Then Howie starts walking towards me.
I run over to AJ and say, "Oh what’s
a few more minutes on TV."
We both walk over and he sits in the
chair. I stand on the side, so that they can cue me when to get in
the picture.
The camera man cues the interviewer
and he says,"OK we're talking to AJ McLean of Backstreet Boys. And
AJ we want to know, how do you feel about making this movie?"
"Well, I'm having a lot of fun with
it. I've been acting since I was young, so I love to act. It's
also given me a chance to meet a lot of people. I've made more new
friends while making this movie than I've made in my life." AJ says
smiling
The interviewer looks down at his notes
and says, "So I heard you did a kissing scene with someone. What
was that like may I ask?"
AJ looks at me and then back at the
camera.
He says, "Different. It was very
different. I've never kissed a girl on command, it just always kinda
happened. But Suzy-Q and I work really good with each other which
made it easier."
"Is it true that you are actually dating
her now?" The interviewer asks him will cuing me to get ready to
be on.
"Yeah it is. We've been dating
for a little while now. And I could never be happier." AJ says
reaching out for my hand.
I walk up and sit in the chair next
to AJ. He puts his arm around me.
"Hello Suzanna." The interviewer
says trying to make me comfortable.
I look at the camera nervously and say,
"Ummm...hello."
The camera goes on AJ and me and he
says, "So how do you feel about making this movie."
I say very nervously, "It's fun.
I...I never thought that I'd ever be in a movie. Especially with
these guys." I pause "They're really great."
The interviewer stands in front of us
and turns towards the camera. He says, "We'll be right back and talk
to our last Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell."
He cues us, and we get out of the chairs.
I'm shaking at the time.
"What's wrong?" AJ asks putting
his arms around me.
I look at him and say, "I'm majorly
stage shy. When I get in front of a bunch of people or on live TV
I get majorly nervous and light headed."
Brian and Sarah walk past us on their
way towards the camera.
Sarah stops for a second and says, "That
was hard on you, wasn't it? I know how you hate things like that."
Then she goes and joins Brian.
The interview starts and then they introduce
Sarah.
"So Sarah, how do you like being in
the movie?" The interviewer asks.
"Well, I'm having fun acting with the
guys and Suzy-Q. And it has brought on some opportunities."
She says while smiling at Brian.
The camera man smiles from behind his
camera.
"How do you like the idea of dating
someone this famous?" He asks
Sarah looks at Brian then at the camera
and says, "It doesn't bother me. I know he'll be faithful and honest."
They cut to a commercial break and say,
"Well thanks guys that's it. You were all great."
As they pack up there stuff and walk
out, I dodge Howie. Finally he gets hold of me and starts dragging
me outside. Everyone follows us.
As we approach the water hose I yell,
"Sarah bring out the secret weapon."
Just then, Sarah pulls a bunch of whipped
cream bottles out of her bag and gives them to Ashley and Whitney.
Then they start shooting Howie with them. Howie lets go of me and
starts after them.
