A good 20-30 minutes later and they were home. First to arrive back were the boys and Meredith; Joe had to pull Meredith off Brian, as she had now managed to get him in a headlock and Brian's face was beginning to turn a nice shade of blue. Dylan was leaning casually against the side of the car, grinning at the fray that was taking place inside of the car.

"You know guys, one of these days; the fans are going to get the wrong idea about the two of you." Joe said breathlessly.
"What are you on about Walker?" Brian replied, clambering his way out of the car.
"The way you two act," Dylan sniggered "you look like you're seeing each other."
There was an awkward silence. Meredith (who was still hanging from Joe's shoulder) smirked at Brian, who glanced back and returned a large grin. Walker sighed and plonked Meredith back on the ground, who then went a leant against Dylan by the car.
"Dylan, seriously, those guys can think anything up. Remember when they thought that Brian was going out with Lauren because of that behind-the-scenes video that Julia posted on YouTube?"
Brian chuckled at the memory of the video. He remembered how crazy everyone was acting that day, and how everyone was as high as kites off Redbull.

The conversation ended when the boys turned up in the car. The back door opened, and Jeff fell out onto the pavement, closely followed by Nick who had clearly booted him out of the car. The whole car was howling, including Jeff, who had been heaved up off the ground by Dylan.

"So, how was the trip?" giggled Meredith.
"Stunning" laughed Chris "You should've seen Nick, he looked like a munchkin."
Nick grimaced a little, but was reassured a little by the warm arm of his brother that had been placed round his shoulder.
"So, when are we starting the party?" asked Nico.
"We're just waiting for the girls to turn up; Julia has the key. NJSM and Jim said to start without them."
"I'm really quite tempted to just climb through the window, I'm freezing." Walker shuddered. He only had a tank top on and some shorts, it was always boiling backstage, and he hadn't really thought through being outside in Chicago in the middle of March.
"Dude, you're like six foot tall, you find it hard enough to fit through the front door let alone the win…."

A huge horn blared as the girl's car hurtled round the corner. It stopped with a screech and the back door was flung open.

"COMING THROUGGGGGGGGGGH!" Lauren screamed, as she burst through the crowd (nearly knocking Jeff and the Lang Brothers over in the process) holding the HQ key aloft in her fist.

"Jeez, what's up with her?" Matt huffed, as he steadied himself after the crash.
"Toilet time. She's about the blow." Jaime giggled.
"Haha, that makes me SNICKER!" Jeff cackled in his best Sweet Tooth voice.
"Jeff, don't you dare even think about it." Joe snarled, as the rest of the StarKids cracked up with laughter.
