When the girls arrived back at Brian's, the guys rushed outside and escorted them in, arm in arm.  When they entered, there were roses everywhere and romantic music playing as the guys escorted the girls to their presents.
    "What's this for?" they asked.
    "Well, since we weren't together for Valentine's day, we decided to make up for it," the guys explained.  The girls opened their presents and all cried.  Kris got a diamond necklace, Shelly got some diamond earrings, Vanessa got a gold anklet with a heart pendant, Dawn got a necklace, and Dee got a diamond bracelet. The girls all hugged their guys before the guys brought out black dresses.  When the girls looked at them weird, the guys just told them to go change into them.  They all had different dresses.  Dee's was spaghetti strapped and long, velvet with strappy black heels, Vanessa's was strapless, short with cute little heels, Kris' was long, halter-necked, with black velvet shoes, Dawn's was long and silky with silky shoes, Shelly's was short with strappy small heels.  All the dresses were sheer in the back.  As soon as they came out, the guys blindfolded them and led them to their cars to be driven to an "unknown" location.

    "Oh, Bri-Bear, this is so sweet," Dee gushed as they dined on Fetichini-Alfredo at a nice Italian restaurant.
    "Only the best for my baby," he said.
    "Aw!" she said.  After a while of "mushy" talk and holding hand over the table, Dee excused herself.  When she returned, there was a small black box in her seat.
    "Brian, what's this?" she asked picking it up and sitting down carefully.
    "What's what?  Oh, that.  I don't know.  Some guy layed it there while I was at the Salad Bar.  I think you've got a secret admirer," he teased and said nonchalantly.  Dee looked at him quizzically and opened the box carefully.
    "It's empty," she said as she looked at the box quizzically.
    "It is!!" he panicked (?).  He jumped to the floor and began searching under the table and everywhere.
    "Brian, it's okay," she said trying not to draw anymore attention than that of the people that were already giving them both weird looks.
    "Yeah, I guess it's lost," he said sadly as he looked at her discouragly.  He kneeled on one knee infront of her and took her hand gently into his.  "Dee, I love you so much!  I'm not complete with out you.  I wanna spend eternity with you.  Dee Anne Corbin, will you make me the happiest man in the world?  Will you marry me?" he said as he pulled "the" ring from his jacket pocket.  It was gold with small diamonds on each side of a bigger diamond.  He carefully slipped the ring on her finger.
  Dee was crying when she replied, "Yes!"  He jumped up and hugged her tightly.  The whole restaurant clapped and cheered.  The both grinned.
    "Thank you!! I love you!!" he whispered in her ear.
    "You're more than welcome, I love you too, Bri," she said.  Both were so happy they each had tears streaming down their cheeks.

    "Omigosh, I'm so nervous!" Kris said.
    "You'll be fine, baby," Nick reasured her as he hugged her and lightly kissed her forehead and down her nose to her lips.  The boys were in Europe on a small promotional tour for three months.  The girls were the opening act and there weren't many dates, but it helped the girls get recognized.
    "Girls, you're on in 5," the stage manager said as he stuck his head in the dressing room door.  Everyone quickly got up and gathered backstage.  Everyone held hands as Brian said a small prayer.  After he was done, while everyone's heads were still bowed, he started the "good luck squeeze."  In other words, Brian squeezed Dee's hand, she squeezed Vanessa's, she squeezed Kris', and so on till it got back to Brian.  Then they all put their hands in a circle and yelled, "TRINITY!"  Then all the guys hugged and kissed their girl and the girls rushed onstage.  Just before they stepped onstage, the guys pulled the line from the first movie they all watched together.  It wasn't like a good luck line, but it was too them, and they picked it as their favorite! It was from "10 Things I Hate About You".  The guys went, "Oh, you know you want to go with me," (?-that's probably not right, but it's close!) and the girls replied with, "Oooo baby, ooooo baby, I want you, oooo baby," before they walked onstage while it was still dark.
  Onstage, Vanessa's voice could be heard saying, "Frankfurt, are you ready?"
    Kris replied, "Oh yeah!"
    Dee said, "We are...." and they all yelled, "TRINITY" before the lights came on and the girls rand around stage shaking hands.  They then immediately went into their "group" song, "Best Friends Always (TRINITY Forever)"  Both the crowd and the girls were pumped!! It was a catchy song, and the girls loved performing it, esp. the dance moves.  Just as quickly as the crowd was on their feet and clapping, they were silent and moved as the girls went into a song that Vanessa and Dee (go us Lauren! You know the one, cause we already wrote it!)) wrote called, "So Hard To Say Goodbye."  It was very slow and showed the true power of the girls voices.
    "Okay, who's gona buy our CD when it comes out in a week?" Kris asked playfully.  To the girls surprise, the whole crowd cheered wildly.  The girls were so happy because they'd seen other performers get dead silence.  (Note-Hint: Jimmy Ray, those of you who like him, don't read, but when Kristin, Lauren, and me went to Dallas to our BSB concert, he was opening and no one clapped, he goes, "Come on people, clap," and was all sucking up to Texas and all, we all yelled "Get off the stage!" it was too funny, yet sad also, cause no one clapped! Remember guys?)
    "Once again, thank you so much Frankfurt!" Dee said, "I am Dee,"
    "I'm Vanessa."
    "I'm Kris."
    "And we are TRINITY!" they all ended and bowed before running off the stage and into hugs and kisses from the boys.  Everyone was in bliss-bliss that would soon be cut short by a change of events!

  The guys did great and everyone was on high energy when they bounced into the ("Wild, Wild West" sorry, I was watching that when I wrote this!!) hotel rooms only to see Angel standing there.
    "Angel!" AJ yelled in shock as Vanessa yelled it in disgust.
    "Hello to you to," she said smugly.  Everyone looked at Vanessa and AJ.  as they all stood there quietly.
    "Oh yeah, Shelly, I thought you said you'd beat me if you ever saw me?" she said smugly to Shelly.
    "Oh, well, Angel, I just have this to say to you," Shelly said walking towards Angel, "Thank you, thank you for stealing Chris, cause now I have Howie and I'm a lot happier than I'd ever be with Chris."  Then she slapped Angel hard before ending with, "Oh, I've always wanted to do that!"
  Angel smirked before she said, "So, AJ how's your tramp and her implants?"
    "Angel, shut your...." AJ started to say before Vanessa quickly approached Angel and decked her, sending her sprawling to the floor.
    "These are real, thank you very much!" she said.  Angel then jumped up and tried to tackle Vanessa.  This caught Vanessa offguard, but she quickly got Angel underneath her.  The rest of the guys had to physically hold their girls back from jumping in with their friend.  AJ stood there both shocked and proud at Vanessa's actions, but he quickly dove to tear the two apart.  It wasn't working and Kevin, Brian, and Nick had to help get Vanessa and Howie held Angel. (Go Lauren!!)
    "Thanks guys.  I think I've got it now," AJ said, hinting at the others to leave.  The guys had to literally drag the girls out. (We defend our friends baby!)  They all stood in the hall, waiting to intercede on another fight.
    "If you hurt my baby, I'll sue!" Angel said vindictively.
    "Baby!" Vanessa and AJ yelled.
    "Yeah, it's AJ's," she replied bluntly as AJ blanched.  "Oh, Alex, you remember your pre-batchelo party.  (The boys threw him one cause by the time they'd get back to FL, it would be a day before the wedding).  The stripper you were locked in the room with?  Well, that was me!"  (Gee, we knew Angel was low, but that's just funny!!)
    "Alex?" Vanessa asked.
    "Um, honey, I'm so sorry!! I was so drunk that night, I don't remember anything, but I do remember waking up alone!!" he tried to explain.
    "Do you remember a stripper?" Vanessa asked, more upset.  AJ was quiet as he looked from Vanessa to Angel and back.  He knew what he had to do, but he dreaded the outcome!
