Prologue

Lilia McRae timidly approached Fatima's dance studio. Fatime is one of the biggest names in the music buisness, not becuae of her musical ability but because of her dancing, she is the choreographer that has worked with the Backstreet Boys and Aalilyah among others. About two months ago Lilia was dancing in a play, to help pay for her tuition to the University of Miami.
After one of the preformances Fatima asked Lilia if she would be interested in auditioning for her dance company. Lilia was overjoyed by this, she couldn't believe that a shy, Irish girl with very little formal dance training was getting the oppertunity to audition with a well-respected and acclaimed choerographer such as Fatima. But, two months later ther she was standing in a small studio owned by Fatima.
"Lilia!" Fatima exclaimed cheerfully. "Hey girl, how ya been?" she asked as though they had beend friends for years.
"I've been well, thankyou." Lilia replied politely.
"Well, your just in time I have brought together some of my dancers to teach them a small dance I created for a new Ricky Martin video. I'll see how yah do and if you work out I have oppertunity for ya." Fatima spoked so confidently as though, she knew Lilia was perfect for the company. Lilia got changed into her biker shorts and took place in back of the other dancers. "Now, Lilia, how am I gonna see you back there come up front here." Fatima said as she came into the room.
Lilia did as she was told and began to dance. Lilia danced harder than she ever knew was possible. She put her heart and soul into each and every step that she did. About a half an hour later FAtima dismised all the dancers except Lilia.
"Well, Lilia, I have something for you," she said handing her a round trip ticket to Orlando.
"Orlando, but I live in Miami why are you sending me there?"
"Because that's where your gonna have to be in order to practice for the Backstreet Boys spring tour."
"I'm going on tour with the Backstreet Boys, this spring!!" Lilia screamed with excitement and gave Fatima a huge hug. Fatima followed with a few directions for Lilia to follow and them congratulated her. Lilia left just knowing that this event was going to dramatically change her life.

Chapter 1

"Okay you guys let's try this dance again from the beginning," Fatima instructed. Lilia groaned slightly, she was starting to get a bit frustrated, she had been practicing the first 32 counts for the last hour and she still wasn't getting the dance right.
"Cheer up, hon, it'll get easier, I promise," the dancer standing next to her said. Lilia smiled she was happy to see one of the dancers talking to her. After months of tourning together the rest of the dancers were very close, almost a family. Lilia felt a bit isolated. They went over the first half of the dance again when 5 guys came walking through the door. It wasn't until after she finished dancing that she realized that the five guys were the now infamous Backstreet Boys.
"Hey Fatima, baby, your looking good," AJ said in a flirty way. Fatima greeted him and a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey you guys," she said addressing the dancers, "Um were gonna take lunch now, but come back refreshed so we can rehearse the group dancers."

Fatima greeted the other four guys. "Hey, Fatima, who's the blonde?" Nick asked refering to Lilia.
"She's not blonde, she has light brown hair." Howie replyed acting like a know it all.
"How did you know who I was taling about?" Nick asked shocked and some what hurt by Howie's statement.
"Because she's the only one of the dancers that we don't already know," Howie replied.

Fatima explained that Lilia was Jasmine, one of the older dancers replacement. Meanwhile, Lilia was making friend with her neighbor on the dance floor, who she now knew was named Rita. The two girls decided to go and get lunch together at the studio cafeteria. As they were just about leave the room Fatima called Lilia over to her and the boys. "You want me to wait?" Rita asked.
"No, you go ahead and save me a seat, I shouldn't be very long," Lilia replied with a smile, she them went up to meet the guys.

"Lilia I would like you to meet Nick, Howie, AJ, Brian and Kevin."
"Hi," the guys replied in unison.
"Hi," Lilia replied with a slight giggle. "Sorry about that it is just so strange, I mean I've been a fan for so long."
"It's alright, were used to that reaction," Brian said with a smile. Lilia made eye contact with Brian's bright blue eyes and she was in awe for they were so more in person than any picture she has ever seen."
"Well, I must go, I'm meeting Rita for lunch," Lilia said as she headed out the door.
"She's gorgeous," Nick siad in awe after she left the room. Everbody laughed at Nick's reaction, however, secretly everyone of the guys was thinking the same thing.

Chapter 2

"Rita!! Why didn't you tell me Brian is gorgeous?" Lilia asked pratically screaming.
"I thought you'd be able to figure that on your own," Rita said laughing. "Anyways, don't get to attached, he's pratically engaged to a girl named Laurie," Rita warned her.
"Really? I should have figured. The good guys are always claimed," Lilia stated sounding somewhat upset by the news of Brian's girlfriend.
"You got that right girl!!" Rita and Lilia exchanged a high five at this statement. Rita continued to give her the scoop on the guys. A few minutes later the boys came into the cafeteria.
"Oh, there she is," Nick exclaimed, his voice still in awe.
"You really like her, don't ya?" Howie asked him.
"Yah, I do," Nick responded. "Then ask her out," Howie said simply. Nick looked at Howie like he was out of his mind. "Nick, if your not going to ask her then I will ask her out for yah."
"I don't understand why would you want to ask her out for me?" Nick asked a little suspicious of Howie's true motives.
"Well, I was thinking we could all invite her to bowling of something like that," Howie stated his idea very proudly.
"That sounds like fun," Brian interupted. Nick hesistated, but then decided to give in to Howie's idea.
"Wait, I can't go, I'm going out with Laurie tonight, well I guess I can bring her along," Brian said smiling, he was very happy that he thought of that all by himself.
"So AJ and Kev, you guys in?" Howie asked.
"Yah, we'll go" the two said pratically in unison. Howie then walked over to where Lilia and Rita were sitting.
"Hey Lilia, hey Rita."
"Hey," the two girls responded. "I was wondering if you girls weren't busy if you'd like to come out with us tonight and go bowling." Rita and Lilia both exchanged shocked glances at eachother.
"We'd love to, wouldn't we, Lilia?" Rita said this hoping Lilia would except the offer.
"Yes, of course I would, thank you Howie," Lilia responded politly.
"Okay then I'll meet you girls at O-town Bowling lanes at about 7ish," Howie said flashing his trademark smile, the girls nodded as Howie went over to the table where the boys were now seated.
"Rita!! I don't know where the O-town lanes are, and I'm a horrid bowler," Lilia said devistated.
"Don't worry about it girl, I'll pick yah up. Oh and by they way, the guys can't bowl either." The two girls laughed at Rita's statement and left the cafeteria. Lilia went back up to practice feeling better than she ever had in her entire life. She could not believe that she had only been in Orlando for a couple of days but she already had friends, and was going out. This was all very surreal to her.
