~~~~~~~With Stephanie~~~~~~~
She walked in her room that she shared with AJ and Howie. They were both still sleeping. She went in the hall and knocked on Brian's door.
"Come in." Katelyn said.
Stephanie opened the door and went in. She walked over to Katelyn's bed and sat down.
"I'm staying in a room with two very lazy people." "AJ and Howie?" Brian asked. Stephanie shook her head. "Don't you think it's about time they got up?"
Stephanie looked at the clock. It said 12:01. She sighed. Then she walked back to her room. Before she went in, she walked across the hall. She went to Nick's room and knocked on the door. Nick came to the door a couple of minutes later and said, "Hey."
"Um. I have a question." "Yeah." "Do you guys have practice today?" "Yeah, at 1:30." "Thanks." "Anytime."
Stephanie walked back to her room and went inside. AJ and Howie were still sleeping. Stephanie sat down on the bed next to AJ. She leaned down and kissed him softly. He twitched but didn't wake up. She shook him a little but he still didn't wake up. She went down the hall and walked in Brian's room without knocking.
"Bri, I've tried everything but AJ won't wake up." "Walk in the room, slam the door, and scream at him." "Ok."
She went back in her room. She slammed the door and screamed, "AJ! WAKE UP!!!" "What the...?" he said and Howie sprang up in his bed. "You have a practice in about an hour!" "It'a at 1:30." "And it's about 12:30."
AJ got up and got some clothes and went into the bathroom.
"Geez. I just had to get him up." "Don't worry. He'll get over it." "Let's hope so."
Stephanie walked out and went across the hall to Nick's room and knocked on the door.
"Hey, again." "Hey." "Come in."
Stephanie went in and sat on Nick's bed up against the wall. Nick sat across from her on the other bed and said, "Why were you screaming?"
"I had to wake AJ up." "I know what that feels like." "Yeah and now he is pissed." "Don't worry. He'll get over it. Just let him get going." "I hope so."
They sat there talking until there was a knock at the door. Nick got up and answered the door.
"Is Stephanie here?" AJ asked.
Stephanie walked over to the door.
"Yeah." she said. "Do you want to come to lunch with me and the guys? Nick, your invited too." "Yeah, sure." Stephanie said. "Nick, are you coming?" "I don't know."
Stephanie looked over at him with a sad face.
"Ok." "Thank you." she said all happy again.
Stephanie took AJ's hand and Nick's hand and led them to the elevator. In the elevator, Stephanie looked up at AJ and smiled at him and he smiled back. They met the rest of the guys and Katelyn in the lobby. They decided where to go to lunch. Then they went outside and got in the limo.
