"Hey guys!" she called out, waving. All five of them turned around and waved back. She approached them and she had to hold back a smile. All of the guys looked like they were just five normal guys...they weren't wearing some of the outrageous clothing in the teeny-bopper magazines she had read....they just looked average.
"What's up Lauren?" asked Kevin, greeting her with a hug. "Nothing," Lauren answered, then glanced at AJ, who smiled at her. "Wait a sec," she started, "AJ, didn't you have red hair yesterday?!"
The guys laughed as Nick said, "See! I told you she'd notice!"
AJ now sported blue frosted tips, rather than the fire engine red he had the day before. Lauren's mouth literally dropped open. "You like?" AJ asked, smirking. "Of course," she answered, trying not to stare. It was amazing how he could totally change his look in a day.
"So, are we ready to go?" asked Brian opening the door to the car. "Yeah...let's go!" announced Lauren, climbing in the front seat of AJ's car, with Nick and Howie in the back, while Brian and Kevin went in Kevin's car.
"So, where are we headed?" asked Lauren, after they had been on the highway for five minutes, "should I be nervous?"
"Naw," answered Howie from the back, "this is gonna be the best day of your life! We've got it all planned out! First we...."
"Yo, D! Don't tell her, man!" AJ interrupted, then glanced sideways at Lauren, "it's a surprise!"
Lauren raised her eyebrows in suspicion, then turned around to look at Howie and Nick in the back seat. Howie winked at her, but Nick just sat there, staring at his hands. "Are you okay Nick?" she asked, wondering why he was being so quiet. Yesterday he had been so loud and outgoing, but today he had barely said a word. "Yeah, I'm fine," he said, looking up briefly, then looking back down again. Lauren glanced at Howie, but he just shrugged. She turned back around.
They drove in almost complete silence for another five minutes. 'You should tell him!' Lauren's subconscious said, but Lauren didn't have even the slightest guts. She also didn't think it was an appropriate time.
"We're here!" AJ announced, snapping Lauren out of her daze. She hadn't even realized that they had pulled into a huge parking lot and stopped the car. "Universal Studios," Lauren read, looking out the window at a huge sign that overtook the parking lot, "hey! I've heard of this! I can't believe that we're actually here!"
"Yup!" exclaimed Howie, "we've scheduled a short tour here, and then we're on to the next place!"
"What's the next place?" Lauren asked, as she climbed out of the car and stared in awe at everything around her. "You'll see!" answered Nick.

"So, what did ya think?!" asked Nick, as the group of six sat at a small restaurant just a couple blocks away from Lauren's hotel, "did you have fun today?"
"Guys, it was amazing!" she answered, smiling, "I can't believe all the things we did today! We literally visited the WHOLE city! I had so much fun....." She trailed off.
After their private tour of Universal Studios, they had gone into downtown Orlando, and cruised through the streets, as the guys showed her all the famous stores and places. After they had gone for lunch, they drove her through another part of town....pretty much, they covered all of Orlando.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it," replied Brian, "I don't know about y'all, but I'm exhausted!"
"Me too," announced Lauren, "I think I better be getting back to my hotel now."
She got up from the table as she said goodbye to each of them and thanked them profusely for such a great day. When she got to AJ, she gave him a huge hug. 'I should tell him now,' she thought, but didn't utter a word. "I'm glad you had such a good day," AJ said, beating her to the punch, "call me tomorrow, okay?"
Lauren nodded, and smiled. The waved to all the guys, as she walked out of the restaurant and down the street to her hotel.
Once upstairs, she sat down with a sigh on her bed. "I'm such an idiot," she said to herself, tears forming in her eyes, "I should have told him...."
A couple stray tears fell from her green eyes. "I should have told him..."
