"Yeah, yeah,yeah Howie, quit being like Kevin." Nick teased.
"All right that's it LET'S GO!"
Nick and Howie got into their cars and drove to Penn State where they had a concert the next night. Brian and Kevin, who were in their dressing room, greeted them. AJ was late (as usual), he was at Mcdonald's. They knew the had to be there early, for Fatima had a surprise for them. "OK, OK I'm here, did I miss anything?" AJ asked.
"Nope were still waiting." Nick answered.
The boys waited anxiously for Fatima, their choreographer, to show up. It took he awhile for her to show up, but when she did, she looked very excited.
"Well? What did you wanna tell us?" Kevin asked impatiently.
"OK guys here's the thing......"
"Now way, huh uh, we don't have room." Kevin explained.
"Yes you do, theres 12 bunks on the bus and only 10 are actually taken!" Fatima replied.
"I don't have a problem with it." Nick said joyfully.
"I think it would be a great opportunity for you guys. This girl is a great dancer!"
"Alright Fatima, I've never doubted you before. If you say she's a great dancer, you have my trust."
It was final, this girl was a Backstreet dancer.
"So who's the girl?" Howie asked.
"Yeah Fatima. Who?" AJ repeated.
"Well that's actually Brian's surprise. Yaw don't know her."
"My surprise?"
"Yeah. Think hard Bri. Does a Danielle Baker ring a bell?"
Brian turned pale. He knew exactly who that was and grew very excited. He hasn't seen her in years. He could remember it like it was yesterday. He and Danielle were high school sweethearts. They were madly in love. They dated for over 5 years and planned to live their life together, until one day, her dad got a job in California, which was way far from the little state of Kentucky. Yes, they tried a long-distance relaitionship, Brian even offered to move to California, it just didn't work out.
"So, uh, where is she Fatima?" Brian asked excitedly.
"She should be here in about 10 minutes. She's dying to see you Bri."
Brian could hardly believe this was happening. He was so excited that he felt like a whole new person. he wanted to see her so bad.
"Bri quit peeing your pants and get down here, we need practice." Nick teased.
Brian made his way down to the little black where a harness strapped on them. Then Danielle walked in. She was a tall black-haired woman with a blue speggiti strap shirt and Jeans. She was absolutely beautiful. Brian was afraid of heights but he tried not to complain knowing that Danielle was in the audience. After Brian danced and sang his heart out to "Larger than Life" and the One, Danielle waved and blew a kiss at him. His eyes widened and he dropped his water bottle.
"Smooth move Bri." Nick yelled. "Now there's water all over the stage."
It took about 5 minutes to clean up all of the water Brian spilled. Danielle told Fatima how cute she thought he was and slowly walked over to him.
"Hey Bri babe How have you been?" She asked.
Brian stopped what he was doing. He was shaking because he was so nervous.
"Good, good, how have you been?" he asked back nervously.
"I'm good too. So you're a Backstreet boy. You always said you'd become a singer. Congrats!!"
"Thanks, I...."
"Brian come on. Quit flirtin and practice." AJ teased.
"Ok well i gotta go. Wanna call me tonight?" Brian asked
"Sure whats your number? she replied.
"824-............"
"Hey Bri it's Danielle."
"Oh cool you called me."
"I'm so happy that I found you. I haven't seen you in so long. I, I've missed you Bri."
"I've missed you too. Hey do you wanna go out sometime?"
"I'd love too!" she answered.
"Cool well I gotta go....buh bye.
" "hey Bri......143!"
"143...bye."
Brian and Danielle had an "insider" for 143. It meant I love you. Brian was honestly scared, he knew that sooner or later, his feelings for her would return. She was such a sweety and Brian wasn't sure if he was over her.
