After telling Nick how I felt, I felt better. But Nick still wasn't talking to me, he was giving the silent treatment for a couple of days. AJ kept hanging out with me through. "I know your upset your grandma and how it affects your family, and Nick making stupid choices." AJ reiterated to me.

"I know Lauren is one ugly, skinning ass mistake." Alex agreed with me. "Even AJ isn't happy about it. He liked the baker better, she cook, clean, and repair things, Lauren has to pay everybody, and she had to sex her way through college." Alex continued. Then gave me a big hug.

"So what do we do?" I asked. "Let the hot baker, tease Nick in her fanfics since he is too lazy to read them or to recieve her art work by e-mails like a real friend." Alex told me with a smile.

"Donnie!" I said as I gave him a hug. "Hi, Brian." He said.

"Now everyone face the cameras and stay on the trail in the park." He yelled. "Ok turn on. "Don't turn off the lights", 5, 4, 3, 2.....1 and 1/2.... 1 ...0" The producers yelled the 2 of them. "ACTION!" The director yelled as a we danced to the song and preformed the first half of it on the famous Green Bridge in Centeral Park from alot of different movies.

"Don't turn off the lights now!" All 5 of us sang, never mind Kevin wasn't on the track, he still had to be there to get paid and to hang out with me. "In a minute we'll be feeling like NEVER before." Howie sang over his taped vocal live and then the whole group did. "We can make it alright, now, alright now." Kevin sang with us. "So don't turn out the lights now!" AJ sang loudest. "SO DON'T TURN OUT THE LIGHTS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIGHTS NOW!!!!!!!!" I sang my loudest for the end of the song for the broadcasting later in the month. "break it, break it, break it down...." AJ finished, lightly.

"Ok, now do the live version, your half of the song, just in case, ABC is sensative about these things." He told us, in his heavy brown coat.

Then we sang it live and better than that. The whole production went wild after he yelled cut. "Now, we got to film, "Lost in space"." He told us. "Now change your clothes, and film it for the web." He continued. "Talk to Janice there she will help you with making sure you get your money for apperances. Thank you." He finished telling us as he shook our hands.

She was cute, a brunette, brown eyes, and was wearing a suit under her winter clothes. "Hello, boys, here is your information you requested a few days ago." She told us. "Here is my information, have fun on your mini-tour and rehersals." She said as she gave us all hugs. "Can I have an autograph and picture?" She asked. "Of chorse." I told her. It was fun.

"I hope it turned out alright." I told Howie at lunch in Nick's hotel room. "Him and Mrs. wannabe went out for lunch." Howie said jokingly about her. "ooooooh, did she do the waiter now too?" I asked sarcasitcally. We laughed.

"So what about Thanksgiving?" I asked finally.
