"Gee, it's nice to see you guys too"Cheryl said at JC, Joey and Lances question to where then others were. "Cheryl!!!!!" Chris yelled as he ran to hug her, "See guys, I know how to greet a lady." "HaHa," they all jokingly laughed. "At least this time you don't have a rat," Cheryl joked after enjoying her hug as much as Chris. Just then the rest of the girls came in the door, surprised to see the guys. They weren't supposed to meet up till the big meeting in the board room of the hotel to discus the tour that would start in exactly one week from that day. They all ran and hugged each other, VERY happy to b together again. (remember they had gotten close over the 3 mo corresponding:))
The girls jumped a little at this, not expecting it. The guys all noticed how jittery they were, but who could blame them. "Ladies, its time to go to the meeting. Oh, hi guys!" Jake came in and said. "Hi!" the guys replied. "Lets go," Katy said. "Do you always have to have an escort, even in the hotel?" Lance asked her a little shocked. He knew that their security was tight, but this? "Yup," She answered. He grabbed her hand, as to let her know that he was there for her now. All the guys heard this and were shocked at how bad it had gotten, and were really concerned.
"Well glad to see everyone so cheery," Dana joked at the girls. (remember they only had a few hours sleep)"Both management and security teams have discussed things and here is how it is gonna work," she began as they all took their seats. "You all have this week for promos. But you will be working on a few joint numbers during your rehearsals this week. Now for the format. You will spend 2 days in each city. One day you will do a small hall for high paying patrons, the next you will do a large arena with normal priced tickets. Including souvenir sales, all the proceeds that we make over budget will go to charity. The tour is scheduled for 2 months. It will end right before Christmas, but if it is successful, it might be extended for another month with half of the proceeds going to charity. Now about the security issue. As you guys saw this morning, it has to be really tight. To make matters easier, you will be on the same bus, as well as have room next to each other all the time." (little did she know that all ten of them were trying their best not to jump out of their skin with joy at that comment."Security will stay the same as it is with the girls, but there will be an increase in what you guys are used to. If the threats go to both groups, we might have to revaluate some things though. We have a week here. There is a rehearsal room in the hotel so we will be here for a week, do the two shows, and start off. As for the management, I will be touring with you and Johnny will be handling the corporate end of things. And for today we will have meetings with stylists and discuss what will be done for publicity interviews and all that stuff. We have meetings till 9:00 tonight any questions?" " Yah, do we get any time to eat? I want my Apple Jacks!!" Justin said to break the tension. It worked they were all laughing.
