"I can't believe I'm gonna hafta go on tour with that ass!" Nick steamed as the left the JIVE offices. "Settle down, Nicky boy. It won't be that bad." Brian said a little mad about it too. After all, when him and Val got into that fight Jason and Ethan are the guys that she went out with. "Nick, you know that Melly only likes you. If she had an inkling of a feeling for Ethan she would've accepted the ring!" Val said from the backseat. "Yeah, she's right." Melly softly said giving Nick a kiss on the cheek. "Yeah, you guys are right. Let's shop, maybe that can take my mind off of the tour." Nick said pulling into a parking spot in front of the mall. "That's the spirit!" Val exclaimed jumping out of the car.
~Shopping~
"What do we still need?" Nick asked as they walked into a bridal shop. "Well, let's see.....almost....EVERYTHING!" Melly said laughing. "We gotta dress you guys unless you want to walk up there naked." Val paused, "Wait, on the other hand....let's not dress them!" Val finished. "I like your idea." Melly said smiling. "Um, we don't." Brian spoke for both him and Nick. "Oh." Melly simply said. The four laughed and continued to look for tuxes for the Boys. After shopping for a couple hours they finally picked out tuxes for Nick, Brian and the rest of the Boys who would also be in the wedding.
On the way out to the car Melly said, "Hey we'll meet you out there in a sec. I wanna check something out quick." "As long as you aren't checkin' out any other guys...OK." Nick called back on his way out the door. "So what did you want to see?" Val asked as she followed Melissa into the Sam Goody that was in the mall. "I wanted to see if they have this one CD." Melissa said looking through the racks of discs. "Hey! They got it!" Melly said picking up a CD. "Who?" Valerie asked. "Storm Watch!" Melly exclaimed looking at the tracks. "Who is Storm Watch?" Val asked confused. "Uh, Duh, Jason and Ethan's band!" Melly said going to the counter to pay for it. "Nick is gonna be pissed if he sees that you have it." Val said trying to stop her friend from buying it. "Then I guess he can't find out." Melly said handing the cashier some money. Val still couldn't believe that Melly was going to buy the CD, "You have never kept anything from Nick, now after you two are moving in together, you are gonna start? What the hell is up with that?" Val asked as they left the store. "It's simple, I'll leave the CD at your house." Melly thought she had it all planned out. "Sure, I suppose." Val said not wanting Bri to find it either but just went along with Melissa's crazy plan.
~3 Weeks Later~~Getting Ready To Go On Tour~
"I'm so glad that they let us come on tour this time." Melly said as she helped Val pack. "Yeah, you just can't stand to go with out it that long." Val joked. "Ha, ha, ha." Melly laughed sarcastically. "You know I'm playin'!" Val said zipping her suitcase. "Silly goose." Melissa mumbled. "I heard that!" Val said back. "OK, let's get this stuff to the car and meet Nick at his house!" Brian said picking up one of the many suitcases. "Damn you chicks pack alot of crap." He said hauling them out the door. "We just wanna look good for you guys." Val said running up behind Bri giving him a kiss on the neck. "You don't need all this stuff to look good. You could be completely bare and still look hotter than ever." Bri responded setting the bags down. "Yeah, you just wanna see me naked." Val said
putting her arms around him. "That too." Bri added. "That'll just have to wait until we get to one of those posh hotels." Val responded. Brian and Valerie then began a make out session. "Hey Hey! None of that nasty stuff in public! Get a room!" Melissa broke it up. "Ok, ok, Let's get this show on the road!" Brian said throwing the suitcases in the trunk and getting in the driver's seat. Valerie sat in the passenger's seat and Melly crawled into the back. "Black and Blue here we come!" Melly yelled putting the convertible top down on Val's Mustang.
The three then continued to Nick and Melissa's house to pick up Nick. He tossed his and Melly's stuff in too and they were off to meet AJ, Howie, and Kevin (along with their girls) at the airport.
