You'd think after saving everyone from a Terrorist Mob that people would at least PRETEND to think Nick is capable of taking care of himself. But, in the words of Rodney Dangerfield --- he gets no respect [insert tie adjusting here]. So when Agent Bryant calls for help, can they just let him go get the job done? Oh no, no, perish the thought! Nick ends up dragging along AJ of all people to solve the case, searching for a mysterious masked serial killer who is wrecking havoc all over the world. Can Nick stop the murderer before it's too late? And most importantly, will the other fellas EVER think he's anything but a dumb blonde kid?

Edwina Finch and Sir Rodney McBoobiekins have come to own a little place called Elk Wood Pines where Nick Carter, famed Backstreet Boy has decided to go for some rest and relaxation. Little does he know that he is followed by Mare who never gave up on her one true love Nick Carter. But little did she know she was followed by Horatio who never gave up on his one true love Mare. But little did he know that he was followed by Shadow, the wonder unicorn who never gave up on her one true love Horatio. Shadow also has arthritis in her knees…poor Shadow.

What happens next is an intricately woven tale of love, friendship, trips to the vet, and a few rabies shots.

Will Horatio ever profess his love to Mare?

Will Mare bite Nick on the butt?

Will Edwina leave Sir Rodney McBoobiekins for Horatio?

Will Sir Rodney McBoobiekins ever get over the fact that he looks like Justin Timberlake?

Will Shadow ever track down Al Gore and get to the real meaning of Global Warming?

Will Howie ever get to have his own story?

All these questions and more will be answered in this story that has won several awards so far for being the bestest unicorn, groundhog, BSB crossover ever!

So, please read this story and tell me what you think. I might make shirts to sell to promote this story so your input is vital.

Thanks! And I apologize if this was too short, I suck at summaries!

Alicia is finally back home where she belongs; in California, with Nick, starting her new life.

With memories from the past year, it’s hard to go on like nothing ever happened, and after three months of trying to put the pieces back together, tragedy strikes again.

Is Ali strong enough to fight and get her life back to what it once was?

Will Nick be able to help her in her healing process, or will unexpected news scare him away from his best friend and a life with her he never thought was possible?

Okay, so the title sucks, but I can't think of a title right now that won't give the story away.
