"It's okay," he replied, laughing a bit.
        This is NOT happening, Hannah thought.
        "Hey, Lance! Buddy!" Brian yelled at him, "Did Hannah cover you with clam chowder? Hehe, you came at the wrong time, man! You missed, well almost missed, the fun food fight!"
        Hannah blushed in embarrassment. I noticed Hannah's sudden shyness. I looked at Jenny who had noticed too, and she nudged the closest boy too her, AJ, hinting that introductions needed to be given.
        "Ow!" he exclaimed but then understood. "Yo, sup Lancey Boy? The girl whose lunch is all over ya is Hannah, Ow!" Jenny nudged him again reminding him not to embarrass our friend even more, "Yeah, anyways, you know us guys, um, the other girls are Julie, oh and of course sAH-rAH, Ow!" Jenny nudged him again as I rolled my eyes, Lance looked at AJ and me quizzically, "I was just EmPhAsIzInG the way you told us it was pronounced, g-eeze," He glared at Jenny, "...and finally, this girl who keeps NuDgInG me, OW, is named Jenny!" he finished, "That was the most painful introduction I have ever been through, OW!" we all laughed.
        Silence greeted us as the laughter died down. Hannah shifted her feet, apparently as uncomfortable as the rest of us were.
        "Umm, guys, how's about we go clean up?" Kevin suggested, breaking the ice.
        "OH, why? You know I absolutely LOVE to wear clam chowder, especially with delectable bread bowls atop my head!" Brian sarcastically replied. Nick caught on and pretended to walk a runway while Brian yelled "C'mon girl, work it, Covergirl, do that thang!" Then he grabbed an empty bowl and Brian started strutting his stuff too. Julie was the one laughing the most.
        "My cousin," Kevin smilingly assured me, "Is normal, most of the time."
        "Hey, I heard that!" Brian yelled.
        "Yo, you guys, I really think we should get cleaned up, unless you want to keep this fashion show going for the probably soon-to-be-here-fans," Howie commented, "Geeze, look at this mess!"
        Brian stared at us with mock seriousness and twirled around showing off his chowder-covered clothes.
        "Yeah you guys, this chowder's sorta kinda drying, especially in areas I don't want it to be in the first place," AJ said. We turned to look at him, we broke out in another round of laughter. His face got red, the words didn't come out as he had meant them to.
        "Okay, okay," Brian agreed, "Hey Sarah, map girl," I looked at him and he grinned, "Where are the nearest bathrooms?"
        "Map girl, eh? Hmmm, I just might not tell you know..." I threatened.
        "No, don't mind him, he's sorry. Sarah, s'il te-plait, où sont les toilettes? (Please, where is the bathroom?)" Kevin broke in.
        "Oh, tu parles francaise?  (Oh, you speak French?)" I asked.
        He grinned, "Oui, un peu, mais je ne parle pas bien (Yes, a little, but I don't speak it well)."
        "Moi aussi! (me too!)" Julie joined in.
        "Erm...juh shwee lah jong fee...et toi?" Hannah said.
        "What?" Brian asked.
        "She means 'je suis la jeune fille, et toi?'...which means 'I'm a young girl, and you?''..." I tried to explain to the blank faces, with the exception of Julie, Hannah, and Jenny, "Haven't you ever seen those idiotic MUZZY commercials? That animated green monster dude that teaches foreign languages like German and French etc?"
        "Oh yeah...I think.." Howie replied.
        "Well, that's what the girl says in the commercial, that's all the French Hannah knows!" I laughed.
        "Well, EXCUZER-MWA, or whatever, I wanna go now..." Nick interrupted.
        "Impatient one!" I responded, "Lemme think...um, the're one in the back of New Orleans square, but last time I was there it was grody. Some nice ones are in Fantasy Land-"
        "And that would be where?" Lance finally spoke again interrupting me.
        "Just follow me...again," I sighed, "You people really needa learn your way around this place, it isn't that hard!" I walked off, motioning for them to follow me.
        We turned the final corner to find the bathrooms labeled 'Ladies' and 'Knights', or something of that nature.
        "Parting is such sweet sorrow...I dost leave thee," Nick started, taking Julie's hand.
        She caught on, "Oh, pray tell, why?" she tried to act dramatic.
        Brian slid in and bumped Nick out of his position and took Julie's hand and kissed it, and smiled "Not to worry my fair maiden, but I shall see thee soon." He took a second to         look at Nick, as if hinting this-is-how-the-phrase-goes-you-idiot, then said, "Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say goodbye till it be morrow." And with that, he turned and dragged a complaining Nick into the "Knight's" bathroom.
        "We shall meet again, in a little cleaner state, I hope," Howie bowed to us and smiled, and followed Frick and Frack into the bathroom. Lance saluted to Hannah then followed Howie.
        "Adoo, adoo, whateva, this chowder don;t feel good..." AJ mumbled and ran into the bathroom as Kevin smirked and followed him in.

        We entered the empty "Ladies'" bathroom.
        "Sooooo, Julie, buddy, how does it feel to have two, yes TWO BSB's after your affections?" Jenny thrust an imaginary mike in front of Julie.
        "Um, no comment," Julie smiled as she went to wash her hands. We hadn't  gotten that messy, it was the boys who had gotten the full blow of the fight. Jenny gave a disappointed sigh. Then turned to Hannah.
        "Hannah, dah-link, how does it feel to have just massacred Lance of *N Sync with your bread bowl of clam chowder?"
        "Hehe, no comment," Hannah grinned and replied and waited to wash her hands. Jenny gave another defeated sigh. Then she turned to me, but couldn't think of what to ask me. Then her face lit up when she thought of a question.
        "Sarah my dear, how does it feel to be liked by a guy almost 10 years older than you?"
        I looked at her, I had not been expecting that question.
        "Ummm, I dunno," was all I could answer, "He doesn't LIKE me Jenny, so stop," I added.
        "Not like YOU? Good, sweet, innocent little Sarah? Why do you think not?" she further inquired.
        "He just doesn't..." was all I replied. Nobody likes me, in that way...
        "Suuure, uh-huh, he doesn't like you one bit!" Jenny continued, not convinced.
        "Oh yeah? Well what about Howie and AJ both dive-bombing for you affections right and left?" I tried to turn the conversation onto her.
        "I just ignore it," was her shrugged answer.
        "Why? AJ's cute, Howie's sweet, how can you just ignore them?" I inquired further.
        "Cuz I am not obsessed with Backstreet," she glanced at Julie and me while washing her hands, " ...or *N Sync for that matter," she looked at Hannah, "...like you people are. It's as simple as that."
        "No it isn't," Julie cut in, "They are normal guys Jenny, you don't have to be a fan to like them!" she tried to defend us.
        "Yeah whatever," Jenny smiled.
        "You don't hate them, right? I'm not sure with that attitude you're carrying..." Hannah started.
        "Geeze you guys, I'm like this around you, but as soon as I act the same way around your precious boys, you get all defensive!"
        "Nuh-uh!" I told her.
        "Yes-huh!" she replied and splashed water on me.
        "Ekk, cold!!!" I screamed and flung some water back at her. It missed and hit Hannah.
        "Water fight!!" She yelled.

        Meanwhile, back in the "Knight's" bathroom, the guys were having friendly arguments as well.
        "Sooo, who's gonna get the girl? Nicky boy or B-Rok?" AJ teased while washing his hands.
        "Shut up!" Nick replied and shoved AJ's head in the sink. Turning the water on, "Got clam chowder in your hair there, buddy," he smiled.
        "stgold-glitpt, gphaaa! (stop it, ahh)" was all AJ could reply. Lance laughed as he toweled off his head.
        "Hannah is cool," he commented, "Even though she dumped food on my head," he chuckled.  The boys looked at each other and started whistling at him, "Stoppit! Can't a guy make a good comment about a girl without other guys flippin' out on him?"
        "NO!" they laughed. Lance rolled his eyes and sighed.
        "Well what about AJ and Howie trying for the same girl? This is a first!" Brian broke in. "Whatcha think guys? Sweet D or Bone, who's in the lead?"
        "You guys, you sound like we're trying to win prizes here, they are human beings," Howie started, "And they actually treat us like normal guys, not big shots," he continued.
        "Yeah, especially Jenny..." AJ mumbled, rubbing his ribs.
        "Well, Age, you deserved that!" Howie added.
        "Hey Kev, what about Sarah?" Brian started.
        "You mean sAH-rAH! Don't just say them flat a's, but emphasize 'em!" AJ piped in.
        "Shut up," they told him.
        "What do you mean...what about Sarah?" Kevin asked washing his hands.
        "You know what I mean! Jenny got her to say she liked you, and yet you stay neutral on the subject?" Nick joined in.
        "So? She's nice, okay? Stop interrogating me." He replied.
        "Ooohh, it's THAT way is it? Here goes Kevin again, afraid of being hurt, passing up a NICE girl..." Brian continued.
        "Shut up."
        "Kevvy-Kev likes sAH-rAH" AJ piped in again.
        "Train's gotta crush!!" Nick yelled.
        "Shut up!" He said and took Nick in a headlock, giving him noogie.
        "Ahh, not my hair!" Nick complained. Once he was out of the headlock he carefully examined his ruffled hair in the mirror, as the others laughed. He splashed some water on it and went to stick it under the hand-air-dryer.
        "You are such a baby, Frack," Brian informed him.
        "I'm allowed to be!" he defended himself. Just then they heard screams from the other bathroom.
        "I wonder if the girls are okay..." Lance ran outside. The Boys followed him. They found us outside running from the bathroom, dripping wet, and laughing at each other.
        "Whoa, what happened to the civilized girls we once knew...?" Brian joked.
        "They no longer live!" Jenny and Hannah screamed, definitely hyper by now.
        "Water fight..." I explained to the perplexed-looking boys.
        "It's better than chowder, " AJ mumbled.
        "So where to next?" I asked.
        "Dude guys, let's do my ride!!! It's my turn!" AJ complained.
        "Your ride...?" Lance questioned.
        "Supposedly everyone wanted to do a different ride when we first met, we've done what Jenny wanted to do, Splash Mountain, and what Nick and Brian wanted to do, The Haunted Mansion, and what Howie wanted to do, Indian Jones, so AJ feels it's his turn to pick," Hannah explained in one breath.
        "A mouthful, but thanx for being the only one willing to explain it to me," Lance smiled at her. She grinned.
        "Ahem...Space Mountain, now?!" AJ impatiently inquired.
        "Yeah, yeah.." Jenny agreed. "C'mon people....Wait, where is it?" she inquired, looking directly at me.
        "Argh, this way," I motioned, knowing I had to be the guide again.
        "Oh, dun worry, I know where MY ride is!" AJ grinned, took Jenny by the arm, and ran off.
        "Sarah, Julie, Hannah, help me!!!" she cried.
        "More running?" Nick mumbled.
        "Wimp!" Julie smiled and poked Nick in the side, "C'mon," she said taking his and Brian's hand.
        "I guess we'd better follow the crazy man..." Howie mumbled and ran after AJ and Jenny.
        "C'mon, we need to save our friend!" Hannah giggled and Lance took her hand and ran also.
        Kevin sighed, "Are we the only sane people?" I smiled and shrugged as we ran after them.
