(this is still Sara's POV)

I jogged back to campus, feeling extremely nervous. It was more a good thing than a bad thing. The more nervous I was, the better I did, it seemed. I was singing a new song today at the game. Last year, at the basketball games, I sang "Larger than Life" with the backing track. This year for homecoming, I was singing "Everybody" with the backing track. It was like singing karaoke without the words in front of you. I was in the locker room before the game started, getting ready. I was wearing a red sports bra with a white dress shirt over it. I was also wearing red jogging shorts. It was a little chilly outside, but it was okay. I knew I wouldn't feel the chill once I got out there. I grabbed my headset-mike and headed out to the stands.

For the first half of the game, I sat among the crowd, so none of my fans would recognize me. I wanted to surprise them. I looked around for Brian and Alex and didn't see them right away. Then I noticed them sitting a few people down from me talking amongst themselves. When the game started both Brian and Alex cheered for the home team, the Wildcats.

At half time, the announcer came on the speakers. "Last year, they were 'Larger than Life.' This year, the 'Cats want to say that Backstreet is back!" Alex and Brian looked at each other. Blaring through the speakers came the song "Everybody." I stood up with my headset-mike on and started singing the chorus of the song. The crowd cheered when they heard me. I made my way down the stairs of the bleachers to the ground. Alex and Brian were completely astonished. I memorized where they were sitting because I was going to come back to them later. I got the crowd yelling and kept making my way down to the field. When I was on the field, I performed the dance moves to the chorus with the cheerleaders. The crowd was totally into the performance. I headed up the stairs straight towards Brian and Alex.

I reached them and sang, "Am I original?"

"Yeah," Alex replied.

I wasn't surprised. Most everyone there knew where the "Yeah's" were. "Am I the only one?"

This time Brian replied, "Yeah."

"Am I sexual?"

To this question, Alex and Brian replied together, "Yeah."

On the next line, they joined in singing with me. "Am I everything you need? You better rock your body now." Now I was utterly shocked. No one I knew at the college knew the words to the song, except my friends. They all knew who the Backstreet Boys were, but didn't really like them. Alex and Brian joined in on the chorus and even some of the dance moves, but couldn't do all of them because of the limited space. I grinned and headed out into the aisle for the next verse. Through the short sequence I was pantomiming to the guys in the announcing booth to bring me two extra headset-mikes. With only a few seconds before the next verse started, I told Alex and Brian, "We're doing 'Larger than Life' next. Do you know it?" They nodded and a tech guy handed them the mikes. "Good," I replied and then started singing the next verse.

When the song was over, I turned to the crowd. "So what did you think?" The fans yelled. "Right now, were' going to go back to last year, when you were all 'Larger than Life'! Only this time, we're going to do it a little differently. I'd like you all to meet Alex and Brian." I put my arms around the two guys. "They're honorary 'Cats for the day and are going to be singing with me. Hey mister DJ!" The music started playing and just when I was about to sing the first line of the song, Brian sang it. It caught me off guard, but I recovered quick enough to catch the second line. The three of us walked down the steps to the field. When Alex took the third line, I realized who they were. No wonder Alex had asked me if I recognized him. I decided to wait until the song was over to tell the crowd.

We proceeded through the song, singing the choruses together and mingling with the fans. When the song was over, I spoke up. "Ladies and Gentlemen. May I present to you, Brain Littrell and AJ McLean of the Backstreet Boys!" To my amazement, the crowd yelled instead of booed. They had loved the performance. Brian, Alex and I ran off the field and headed towards the parking lot.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked Alex, slipping my headset-mike off.

"Well, I, uh..." he stumbled over his words. "I like you Sara. I thought you knew who I was. These days it seems like everyone knows who I am."

"I didn't recognize you, at least not until you started singing with me." He handed me his mike. Brian followed behind us at some distance.

"You know, I'll just leave you two alone, and go back and watch the game," he said, turning around to head back towards the stands.

I didn't even hear him, but Alex did. "Oh, Rok, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ignore you."

"It's okay, AJ. I should have known; you're with a girl. Go on; don't worry about me. I'm gonna go meet up with the guys. I'll catch ya later." Brian handed me his mike and headed out into the parking lot instead of going back to the game.

"See you later B," Alex called after his bandmate.

"Bye Brian," I called. Brian turned around a waved. "You mean the rest of the guys are here?" I asked Alex.

"Yeah, but they didn't wanna come to the game. They were afraid they'd be recognized. Especially Nick," AJ told me.

"I can understand. So what are you guys doing here? I mean we aren't exactly like a very large town or anything."

"Well, uh, it was my idea," Alex said, finding a patch of grass and sitting down.

I joined him. "What do you mean?"

"Well, I've always wanted to go to homecoming festivities at a university. We happened to be in California and I noticed that your school was having homecoming this weekend."

"You could have at least picked a school with a football team, " I joked.

"But if I had, I wouldn't have met you."

I blushed and looked down at the grass. I had never expected AJ to be that sweet. I guess it was because he appeared like such a rebel. I picked at the grass beneath me. I didn't know what to say. I was caught completely off guard.

"Sara?"

"Yes, Alex?" I said, looking up at him.

"I have a favor to ask of you."

"Anything."

"Sleep with me."

"What?!" If I was caught off guard before, I was completely unprepared for that statement. "But we just met. I hardly know you," I protested.

"Not true. You know me. You probably know me better than I know me." I had to admit he was right. I adored the Backstreet Boys and AJ was my absolute favorite. I couldn't believe that I was sitting there next to my idol.

"But you don't know me."

"We can work on that. And you did say anything."

"But...but I didn't think you meant that!" I sighed. "Can I go on tour with you?"

Alex looked at me. "Huh?"

"Well, you tell me why you wanna sleep with me and I'll tell you why I wanna go on tour with you."

"Okay." He got up off the grass and came up behind me. He slowly kneeled down and put his hands on my shoulders. He then started moving his hands down the sides of my body. "You have such a beautiful body. Tight, muscular, toned. I've never met anyone with a body like yours." He wasn't exaggerating. I was toned. I spent hours lifting weights in the gym. I may have only weighed a hundred pounds, and most of it was muscle, but I could bench press my body weight and then some. He ran his hands down over my thighs. "You must climb a lot of stairs," he commented. "I have to tell you," he whispered in my ear, "you're a complete turn-on and I wanna know what it's like."

"Well you're no Cartman either. Look at you," I said leaning back into his strong arms.

"Now why do you wanna go on tour with me?"

"Well, I would go on tour with you and Wildkitten would open for Johnny, because Johnny doesn't have an opening act, does he?" I was talking about our alter egos. Wildkitten was me very excited and wasn't an entirely different person. Johnny referred to AJ's alter ego Johnny Suede. Johnny was British, a couple of years older than AJ, yet they shared the same birthday. Johnny and AJ were two different people, where as Wildkitten was just an extension of my personality.

"Oh I see how it is. You're just thinking about Johnny and improving Wildkitten's career."

"That's not it at all," I said, turning around to face Alex. "This way we could get to know each other better, and Johnny would have an opening act."

"So you'll do it?" Alex asked me.

"If I get to go on tour."

Alex pulled away from me and stood up. "That could have some complications," he said.

"What do you mean?"

"What if the press finds out?"

"I won't tell."

"There's no guarantee of that. This could seriously hurt the reputation the guys' and I have."

, I stay here and you don't get any."
