-----------2 Weeks Later--------
    "Okay, I'm sure ya'll are wondering why Kelly and I called all of you here-even the spouses whom are not recording artists and those of you who we do not manage!" Jerry said smiling at Drew.  All the couples/friends were in the den area of Kelly's house while her office in "The Firm" 's Orlando headquarters was being built, "I've already talked to Paris (Drew's manager) and he said I could talk to you even though he's gonna tell you the same thing in a few days with the other guys."
    "Uh, K! Cool!" Drew said as he snuggled closer to Sandi.
    "Okay, down to business," Kelly said looking at Shelly and Howie who were cuddling.  "I should be with him," she thought.  "So, anyways, the "Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation" asked a lot of us managers if we could get out artists to do a "couple" duet album for the fund since a lot of couples deal with the disease," she explained.
    "Of course!! Yeah!!" everyone jumped at the idea.
    "Cool!! Let's get started as soon as possible," Jerry said, "We want all the couples, plus a big "TRINITY/BSB" duet and all the artists will sing in one big song so, it'll be so cool!!  It's gonna be like a CD box set-so everyone will get a song on the album."
    "Do you think we could use our new studio?" Brian asked.
    "Yeah!" Dee seconded.
    "Ya'll just wanna use it and show it off!" Kelly joked, "But I don't see a problem with it!"
    "Me neither," Jerry said, "As long as you don't mind a lot of other artists in your house!" he laughed.
    "No problem!" the couple said.
    "That's not even what our mom would say!" Kelly laughed at her sister.
    "Yea, she'd be like, 'Well, now we've gotta clean the house spotless, get the food, blah, blah, blah!" Dee laughed.
    "That's so her! But we're the same way!" Kelly laughed.
    "You I know-you can totally tell we're sisters!"
    "Yea-besides the fact that you two are totally out there and talk a lot!" Vanessa teased.
    "Yea-ya'll are so not even alike!" Kris joked sarcastically.
    "Great!! Now I gotta help clean the house!" Brian rolled his eyes.
    "Well, you shouldn't have bouth such a big house!" Dee laughed at him as she hugged him from behind.
    "Well, you shouldn't have even married me," he said turning in her arms to hug her "properly", "Or even met me, then I wouldn't spoil you!" he kissed her forhead.
    "Great! Now I don't spoil you enough!" she laughed.
    "No, you do-who bought the game things in the game room for their husband?" he kissed her.
   "Mmm, yeah-I oughta buy more things if I get kissed like that!"
    "Ugh!!" everyone groaned.
    "Whatever ya'll!! You guys were the same way!!" Dee laughed.
    "Ugh! Okay, I guess this meeting's over," Jerry rolled his eyes and laughed.
    "Wait, do we know what songs we'll be singing?" Howie asked.
    "Not yet.  We're gonna be calling you all this week to get the songs in order," Kelly said.
    "Do we know if they're gonna be old songs or new songs, or what?" Kevin asked.
    "Well, actually-for you all, we were thinking a mixture of both.  You guys think about it and get back to us," Kelly said, "Well, I gotta get back to my lovely "office" in a bit, so, if you wouldn't mind leaving my house!" Kelly laughed.
    "K bye sis!" Dee hugged her.
    "We feel loved!! You're practically kicking family out!" Howie grinned and winked at her before hugging her.  She almost fainted.
    "Bye Kelly!!!!" Nick, Kris, Dawn, and Kevin screamed out the front door.
    "Bye!" Kelly yelled back.  She had quiet a gang of wacko friends!

    ----------------------A Couple Weeks Later--------------------
    "Morning beautiful," Brian said as Dee walked into the kitchen wearing his Kentucky jersey.
    "Uh-huh," she yawned.
    "Get your OJ before I say anything else to you," he said and laughed when she glared at him.  Everyone knew Dee had to have at least two drinks of orange juice before you could even look at her without getting glared at in the morning.  She was so not a morning person.  She got her juice and pulled out a chair by Bri, curled her legs under herself and tried to wake up.
    "Did you call Jerry?" she asked.
    "Yep!  He said," Brian switched to his 'Jerry' voice, "Of course you can sing that," he said referring to the song, "Your Love Heals My Heart" that Dee and Brian wrote, "That'd be great!"
    "You're such a cornball!" Dee laughed and threw some sugar packets at him.
    "I try!" he said throwing them back, "Where are you going?" he asked as she got up.
    "To get in the shower before everyone gets here," she said.  He grabbed her and pulled her into his lap.
    "What time are they getting here?" he nuzzled her neck.
    "Well, our friends, the nutcases that they are, are gonna be here in 30 minutes, but the other artists will be here in 3 hours.  I've gotta get awake!" she yawned.
    "What, did my baby not sleep well last night?"
    "No, you kept me up!"
    "Me! Oh, you couldn't get my fine bod out of your head!" he laughed and made a face.
    "No, your snoring never stopped!! Even when I asked you to roll over!"
    "I do not snore!"
    "Yes you do!!  I'm gonna buy you those cute little nose strips and get Nick's face plastered on them-and make you wear them!"
    "No! Nothing with Nick on it!!" he laughed, "But I do not snore!" his voice lossed it's jokingness.
    "Bri-why do the guys always tell the press that Howie talks in his sleep and you snore?"
    "I don't know!  Just get in the shower!" he said semi-angry.
    "Uh, okay," she said.  She knew she ticked him off and she didn't like that, but she kept quiet until he cooled off.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    "Hey!! What's up Frick!" Nick said as he bounced into the kitchen.  Everyone else was already in the livingroom.
    "Nothing," Brian replied a little snottily.
    "O-kay," Nick said as he walked back into the livingroom, "Yo, Dee, what's wrong with Rok?"
    "He's mad cause I told him he snores and I was gonna buy him nose strips with your face on them!"
    "They make those!?" Nick said.
    "No, Nick, I was only joking around with him and he got ticked cause I said he snores."
    "I do not snore!" Brian said as he stalked into the livingroom.
    "Dude, B-Rok, lighten up!!" AJ said, "So you snore-big deal!"
    "Yea cous!" Kevin said, "Howie talks in his sleep and you snore-so what."
    "Yea! I love those Kitkats!" Howie joked.
    "Guys, I seriously didn't think it was that bad!" Brian said.  "I'm sorry babe!" he kissed Dee.
    "It's okay! I was only joking!! Sorry babe!  Still want me to buy the "Nick Carter Nose Strips"?"
    "Sure-How about some KY ones!?"
    "Sure-but I swear, it's not bad enough for nose strips."
    "I know-but I still want some KY ones!" he kissed her.
    "You guys are pathetic!" AJ said.
    "Um, excuse me, Alex-who was all over me this morning?" Vanessa joked.
    "Uh-that was Johnny No-Name-he keeps popping up!! I told him to stop taking my women!! But they always fall for that accent!"
   "There was no accent!! That was "Bone Daddy" all the way!"
    "Ugh! Guys can you please help me get food ready for the "shindig" that's gonna be happening in like 2 hours!" Dee asked.
    "Aw!! Do we have to!! Ugh!!" everyone whined.
    "Yes!!! The more the marrier!" Dee laughed as everyone groaned and trudged to the kitchen.
