Chapter 16: Treading Dangerous Ground

      Sarah tosses me a bottle of whip cream and I chase after Howie. Just then, Brian and AJ walk over to Sarah's bag.
      "Hey she's got more whip cream," Brian tells AJ." Let's get 'em."
      AJ grins and grabs three bottles of whip cream. He tosses one to Nick, and one to Kevin. Brian grabs the other two bottles left in the bag. He catches up with Howie and quickly hands him one.
      Sarah runs towards Brian, but spots the whip cream and begins to run the opposite way. Brian goes after her.
      "Sarah help!" I scream as AJ grabs me around the waist. I begin to spray him in the face with whip cream.
      "Hey," AJ says as he wipes it off with his hand. Then, he smears it across my face and laughs.
      I'm struggling with AJ as I look over and see Whitney spraying down Nick with whipped cream.  He grabs the whipped cream from her hand and starts spraying her with both cans.  On the other side of the parking lot Ashley and Shena had teamed up on Howie and Kevin.  It looked like they were winning, but then Kevin grabbed Shena and held her while Howie sprayed her.  Ashley tried to get Howie but then he grabbed her and took the can from her hands.  After we were all out of whipped cream everyone started heading for the building.
      Sarah and Brian walk up covered in whip cream and say, "Now that was fun."
      I turn around and look at AJ.  His whole face is cover with whipped cream.  I take off his sunglasses so he could see.  Everyone starts laughing.
     We all start talking when someone whistles.  We all turn around and see a two girls walking towards us.  Nick starts running towards them.  When they reach each other they all hug.  Then Nick motions her towards us and they run to us.
      When they reach us Nick says, "Hey guys these are my friend, Aarti Sharma and Heather Barton."
      I extend my hand and say, "Nice to meet you."
      They shake my hand and get whipped cream all over there’s.  I say, "Sorry about that.  You'll have to excuse the whipped cream."
      They smile and say, "That's OK."
      "And this is AJ, Suzy-Q who you've already met, Brian, Sarah, Howie, Ashley, Shena, Kevin, and Whitney."  Nick says pointing out everyone.
      "Well I don't know about you all but I think we need to get ourselves inside and clean up."  Howie says
      We all walk in the building and head for different dressing rooms.

      (about an hour later)

      Brian, AJ, and Sarah are talking when I walk out of the dressing room.  They motion for me to come over to them.
      I walk over to them and say, "Hey what are you guys talking about?"
      "I think it's time we get the prankster back."  Brian says smiling.
      "What did you have in mind?"  I ask
       We all smile at Brian and start talking.  We decide that he needs a little shower.  We are going to put a pail of water above the door and have him walk into the room.  Just then Nick walks up.
      "What are you guys doing?"  He asks
      "Nothing"  AJ says looking at me  "Babe could you and Sarah go get that for me?"
      "Sure."  I say as Sarah and I walk down the hall.
      Nick, AJ, and Brian start to talk.
      Sarah and I walk into the kitchen and grab a plastic pail.  We fill it with water and start carrying it down the hall towards my dressing room.  We reach the room and AJ and Brian are waiting there.
      "What did you do with Nick?"  Sarah asks
      "Howie and Kevin grabbed his attention."  Brian says
      Sarah and Brian stand outside the door and watch for Nick as AJ and I prop up the pail.  When we finally get it to stay up on the top of the door.  The door was open just a little bit.  Sarah and Brian walk into the front of the studio to get Nick.
      "Hey guys.  Can you come into my dressing room really quick, we need to talk about Suzanna and AJ."  Brian says to Nick, Aarti, Heather, Whitney, Howie, Ashley, Shena, and Kevin.
      They all start following Brian and Sarah.
      When they reach my door I yell, "Hey Nick, could you come in here for a sec."
      Nick pushes the door open and the pail falls right on top of him.  Everyone starts laughing.
      And we all yell, "GOT YA!!!"
      Nick starts laughing too.  Kevin hands him a towel to dry off with.

(later that night at the studio)

      I walk outside and see Aaron standing there.
      "What are you doing here?"  I ask him.
      He walks towards me and says, "Well, I missed you.  We've been friends forever you know."
      "I know.  I miss hanging out like we used to."  I say
      "I miss this..." Aaron says as he reaches down and kisses me.
