"Hey, it's our song!" Dee said as she turned her Blazer's radio up. The song was "All I Have To Give" and the girls each had a verse, well Kris had two-Nick and Howie, since Brian and AJ got most of the leads. They'd been practicing that song for over a year! The weird thing was, they had all ended up singing their guy's part even before they had a clue as to who the BSB were! Vanessa, Dee, Kris, Nick, Brian, and A.J., were piled into Dee's Blazer and were following Kevin's 4-Runner to a little "BSB/Firm" barbeque. Dee started her verse perfectly. The guys listened in silence as the girls harmonized perfectly. When the girls hit the Bass Break (Kevin goes "And I will give it to you..."), the guys were blown away. It was perfect! The boys clapped when it was over, but Brian, who was driving-amazingly Dee let him drive, her Blazer was her baby! Well, her other baby now that she had Bri-grabbed the wheel quickly as everyone laughed and Dee almost had a cow that he almost lost control of her "baby".
"Wow! That was great!" Nick exclaimed.
"Yeah, you guys should do it at the party today," Brian suggested, "Our management is gonna be there, of course, and they're looking for a new group, specifically girls, to manage!"
"I'm not sure Bri. We just do this for fun. We've never done it in front of people besides our family and friends just goofing around. We've never performed for "big-time" people," Dee said.
"We're 'big-time'", Nick said.
"Yeah, but you're our boyfriends. We don't think about that," Kris said.
"Just try, please. We'll start it with you," Brian begged. The girls looked at each other. Each saw the hope in the others eyes.
"Okay," they all agreed excitedly. They did have a dream of singing professionaly. Maybe now it would come true.

"Jerry, you've got to hear them! They're just what you're looking for. But, it's only 3 of them, they refuse to take on anyone else cause they're best friends and all. And they're a little apprehensive about performing today, but we're gonna start with them and then fade out," Brian said to the Boy's head manager, Jerry Thornton.
"I don't know guys. If they're apprehensive about today, what about on stage?" Jerry asked.
"Come on Jerry. This is their first time performing in front of people. We needed a little help too. After today, they'll have confidence to go on their own," Kevin tried.
"Okay, we'll give it a shot." Jerry said. The guys thanked him and ran over to the girls.
"Guys, he's givin' you a chance," Nick said. The girls shrieked and hugged them and each other.
"Let's try a bit of warm up before ya'll go for it for real," Howie said. "We'll just start at the beginning and go all the way through since you'll have to do the whole thing a cappella (did I spell that right?) when you do it for real." The girls agreed and Nick and Kris started. As Dee and Brian started, Dee, who had the quietest voice anyways, couldn't be heard.
"Baby, you've got to be louder," Brian said gently.
"I know, Bri! I'm so nervous!"
"I know, and I know your voice is quiet, but I also know you can nail this. Do what I do, close your eyes and concentrate on the music in your head, or onstage, depending on how you're singing, don't concentrate on your voice or who's listening or else you'll lose pitch and key, or imagine your singing to me-k-?"
"K, let's try it again," Dee said. They started over and this time Dee came in as strong as she was in the car.
"We're gonna fade out, keep going," Brian instructed as the guys started to fade out. Jerry had pulled them away. The girls had a feeling that was happening, but they stayed strong and didn't faulter.
"But my love is all, I have to give, without you I don't, think I can live, I wish I could give the world to you, baby, but love is all I have to give," they sang before Kris ended with "to you."
"I think we've got potential here. Girls, how would you like to get a record deal?" Jerry asked.
"Wow!" was all the girls could say.
"We'll spend the next couple weeks polishing you act, then, we'll get you to as many record execs as possible. Come with me adn we'll get some papers signed. Oh, and you'll need a name," Jerry told them as they all walked to his "office" which was his briefcase on a picnic table.
"I'm so proud of them!" AJ said as they watched their girls walk off.
"Yep! That's our girls!" Nick said.
"Maybe they could open for us!" Brian suggested. The Boys were so happy as they thought of all the possibilities that lay ahead for the girls. Maybe they could have all the success the Boys did. And maybe the Boys could help them! In fact, the Boys made it a point in each of their minds to help the girls get as far as they could!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"How about 'Trinity', since there are three of us?" Vanessa suggested.
"Yeah, that's cool! I like it!" Dee and Kris said.
"Alright, now we've got everything covered and signed. Well, if you can come in tomorrow, we'll get you started with your vocal coach-to help strengthen your voices to help them grow and broaden, the Boys have one," Jerry explained as the girl's looks of confusion turned to understanding. "Now, there's only one choreographer that's not booked right now. Have you guys ever worked with a choreagrapher?"
"Yeah, we worked with Fatima Robinson on the BSB video," Dee said.
"Great! Looks like you'll be working with her again, cause she's not booked! Well, everything's been taken care of. Let's say, 8:00 tomorrow morning. Um, let's see if we can borrow Nick's studio. I really don't think you guys wanna go all the way to L.A." he said as the girls chuckled. He called Nick over and worked everything out. The girls were so excited!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The girls spent the next morning anxiously deciding what to wear. They didn't know if they'd be dancing today or not, but should they be presentable to the vocal coach? With a quick call to Jerry, all was worked out. They still weren't sure if they were dancing so they decided to match since, if they got a deal, they'd be matching, somewhat, anyways in concerts and stuff, they might as well get used to it! They called Vanessa at "her" house and told her. They all wore black and white track pants with different colored tanks. Actually since "Trinities" colors were green, blue, and yellow, that's what they wore.
The arrived at Nick's house 30 min. early.
"Hey, you guys look awesome!" Nick said as greeted them in the driveway.
"Yeah, sexy," Brian hollered.
"Thankx! We don't look retarded?" Dee asked as she jumped on Brian's shoulder.
"Nope," was his reply as he took of towards Nick's house.
"Bri, slow down," she laughed as he ran through Nick's house. Suddenly, he threw her down on the couch.
"Thankz," she pouted.
"Aw, baby," he said as he tried to kiss her. She leaned up to kiss him but turned her head before their lips met. (think Monica's "First Night" video)
"Hey, Nick! Can we get the grande tour of this phat casa?" she yelled before she looked back at Brian and giggled at his pouting face. She took his face in her hands and kissed him deeply.
"Follow me," Nick instructed coming from the kitchen with Kris on his back. Dee jumped on Brian's back and they started the tour. A.J. and Vanessa (running behind as usual) caught up with them in the hallway.
"What is this -"jump on your boyfriend's shoulder, throwing his back out so he can no longer dance and his career is basically finished?'" A.J. joked.
"Ha-ha, we're not breaking their backs," Kris said.
"Speak for yourself," Nick said in a "strained" voice. Kris smacked him. "Ow! I was just kidding."
"I know" she said as she hugged him and kissed his lips. Vanessa decided to "join the club" and jumped on AJ's back. He pretended to stumble.
"Dang woman, lose some weight," he joked.
"That's is! No wedding," she shot back.
"Cool! I'm single 4-ever!"
"Alex," she whined.
"Baby, I'm joking! You're not fat! I love you," he said as she replied and they kissed. Nick pretended to be sick and almost dropped Kris.
"Nick!" she yelled.
"Sorry ba---" he started when his doorbell rang. He ran to get it with Kris still on his back. It was Jerry and the girls vocal coach! They were so nervous!!
