" So baby you ready for tomorrow?" I looked up at Nick, he was standing above me and I was on the couch.
" Yeah but I'm not liking the fact I have to get up at 4 am." He laughed and pulled me up to him.
" Just think, you get to sleep on the plane for about 9-10 hours."
" Yay!" I jumped up and down.
" OK Miss Sarcasm." He started tickling me and we ended up falling onto the ground.
~*~3 AM ~*~
" Hun its time to get up." Nick rubbed my back.
" I don't wanna go anymore."
" You're just saying that so you can sleep in." Come on get dressed, Brian should be here in about 15 min."
" OK..."
" I'm going to go get something to eat for us, can I count on you to get up?"
" Yeah yeah."
"Anastasia?"
" Yes Nick." He smiled and gave me a peck on the cheek. He left and I got up to get dressed. After putting on a pair of jeans, T-shirt and sweat shirt, I put my hair in a pony tail and brushed my teeth. Still not awake I made my way to the kitchen.
" Look whose up!"
" Nick its, 3 in the morning. How on Earth are you up so early?"
" Just use to it I guess. Bagel and juice alright?" I nodded my head and went to sit at the table. Because I was so tired I totally missed sitting down in the chair. I ended up falling on my butt on the ground. I heard two voices laugh and I looked up to see Nick and Brian.
" Not funny." Nick helped me up and just laughed.
" That was cute Stacey. Keep that up and you'll be as graceful as you were."
" Thanks Brian. Keep that grin on your face, you'll be as stupid as you usually are."
" Ooo shot to you Bri." Nick laughed.
" And if you want me to stay with you Nick, you keep that mouth shut." I took my bagel and sat down again.
~*~At the Airport~*~
" So the other guys should be here by now right Nick? I mean look its almost 5 and the plane leaves at 5:30 right? So where the heck are they? Maybe they're hiding, from like the fans what do you think? Oh look candy...lets go get some!" I ran over to the candy store.
" Hey Nick? Is she always like this, this early?"
" Only when she doesn't get enough sleep."
" Man, she's wearing me out just looking at her." They both laughed and went to the candy store.
" Anastasia, come on we have to go over by the gates." Nick said taking my hand.
" OK fine." I said with a sugar gummy worm in my mouth. " Want one?" I asked.
" Nah that's alright."
" Bri?"
"Sure." He took a few out and put them in his mouth. " Yummy." He said in his best Ace Ventura voice. I laughed and we walked to the gates.
" YO BONES!!" I yelled and ran over to him.
" YO FREAK! What's up?" He asked giving me a hug.
" Nothing but I think Nick is getting annoyed with me."
" No I'm just not a wake yet baby." He said giving me a hug.
" Poor baby." I gave him a peck. They started boarding us onto the plane a few minutes later. Of course the guys had first class tickets. There weren't many people on the plane. As soon as I sat down, between Nick and Brian, I buckled my seat belt.
" Still not one for flying I see." I shook my head no. He laughed lightly.
" HEY! If I may recall either are you."
" Yeah well..."
" NOTHING!" We both laughed and the plane took off.
