AUTHOR'S NOTE:

Hey, guys! :) I know, I know. It's been a while since I've posted anything here. Basically, my life's been busy. So yeah. DON'T KILL ME!!! =))

Oh, BTW, this fic was written by me, with my sister, IndieAyer, as my beta.

Disclaimers: I own nothing in this fic except for the Allen family and the plot. :D

READ, baby, READ! =))

[JADE'S POV]

DING-DONG! I heard the doorbell ring from upstairs.

They're here! I thought to myself. I quickly finished brushing my hair, making sure I got all the knots out. My best friends, the Jonas Brothers, were taking me to Universal Studios today to try out the new rides.

"Hi, Mrs. Allen!" I overheard someone, probably Nick, say downstairs.

"How are you today?" A polite voice asked. Kevin, maybe?

"We're here to pick up Jade." Said someone whose voice I'd know anywhere; Joe.

"Hi, boys!" Mom said cheerfully. "I'm fine, Kevin, thank you for asking." Hmm, so I was right. "Come in and have a seat while I get Jade."

"Thanks, Mrs. A!" Kevin, Joe, and Nick said in unison.

"Jade," Mom called. "The boys are here!"

I realized I had stopped brushing my hair when I heard them talking. "Coming, mom!" I called, brushing it again, and checking my hair, my face, my teeth, my clothes. All good, I thought. But instead of going out right away, I decided to listen more.

"I hope she's done." Mom sighed. "She's been in there, getting ready, for the past two hours." She chuckled. I would be embarrassed if she told this to any other friend, or group of friends, but I've known these guys for three years.

"Some things never change." Kevin laughed. "It sounds like someone, though..." He said, obviously referring to Joe. We had a lot in common.

"Now, boys, do you want something to eat or drink? We have plenty here." Mom offered, ever-hospitable.

"Uhh, can I ha—" Kevin started, but he was soon cut off by Joe.

"Nope, I'm good." He was probably getting back at Kevin for his comment earlier.

"No thanks, Mrs. A." Nick said.

"We want to get to Universal as soon as possible." Joe continued. "Thank you for offering though."

"Hello, boys." I heard dad say. He probably just came of of the room.

"Hey, Mr. Allen!" They said in unison, again.

I looked in the mirror, examining myself one last time. My black, shoulder-length hair was pulled back in a headband, my teeth had nothing stuck in between them, my face had a little natural looking make-up on, and my outfit, jeans, a cute smiley-faced shirt, and flats, looked good.I decided to get downstairs before dad started giving them a talk about "keeping me safe", or "not letting me out of their sight", or something.

I opened the door, smiling. "Hey, guys!" I said with a little wave.

"Hey, Jade!" Kevin, Joe, and Nick said together. How do they do that?

I skipped down the stairs, still smiling. I hugged Nick, then Kevin, then Joe.

"Long time, no see." Joe said, hugging me tightly.

"Yeah, it's been too long." I replied, then let go of him. The last time we saw each other was a while, since we've both been busy. Since we were free today, we decided to hang out at Universal Studios.

I turned to my parents. "Bye, mom. Bye, dad." I said as I kissed them both on the cheek. "I'll see you later."

"Be home by eight, okay?" Mom said, hugging me.

"Yes, mom." I replied obediently, then turned to face upstairs. "Bye, Timmy! Bye, Nikki!" I called to my brother and sister.

"BYE!!!" The called back. They were on their computers and too hooked to whatever they were doing to stand up.

I chuckled as I waved goodbye to my parents and walked with Kevin, Nick, and Joe to the car outside.

We entered the car and put on our seatbelts with Kevin sitting in front (I guess he was driving today.), Nick sitting beside him, and Joe and I sitting at the back... Which made my heart beat faster.

Okay, yeah. I have a crush on Joe Jonas, my best friend. But, come on, I mean, like, everyonedoes, too. Plus, it's just a harmless crush. It's not like I intend to follow through and tell him how I feel. It could ruin our friendship fore—

"I need music." Nick mumbled, breaking through my stream of excuses—err, I mean... thought. My stream of thought.

There was a moment of silence... Then Kevin broke it.

"Guys, isn't today gonna be awesome?"

"Yeah," Nick agreed. "Trying out the new rides at Universal Studios."

"I know, right? I can't wait to try out the new space-themed rollercoaster!" I said excitedly.

"I call dibs on the front cart!" Joe said, raising his hands up.

"No fair! I wanted the front cart!" I objected.

"Chill, guys! There are two seats, you could always share." Nick said.

"Yeah, and hold each other's hands if you get scared!" Kevin snickered.

"Haha! Nice one!" Nick said.

"Yeah, that's really funny, Kev." Joe said, rolling my eyes at him while Nick high-fived him and my cheeks reddened. Gosh, was I that obvious? Or were they teasing us 'cause Joe likes me, too?... Probably the first one.

We were silent for the rest of the ride, except for the occasional singing along to some songs. I got lost in the songs and in my thoughts.

After a while, Kevin broke the silence again. "Okay, guys, we're here!"

We all looked out the window then, and I saw the new rollercoaster.

"Whoa..." Joe and I said together, mesmerized.

"What are you doing just sitting and staring?" Nick said, interrupting our... Sitting and staring. "Let's go, go, go!!!"

And, so we did.

We ran out of the car, and rushed to the gate of Universal Studios, we gave the guy our tickets; he ripped them, then gave it to us. –A/N: I haven't been there yet, so if that's not how they do it, or they have an automated ticket thingy, sorry. :P-

We entered the gates (of paradise... just kidding.) and to our side was the super loaded, super crowded ticket booth, to which Kevin merely said, "Whoa."

"It's a good thing we ordered our tickets online." Nick said. –A/N: Again, I do not know if you can do that! =))-

"Yeah. Right, Jade?" Joe asked me, but I didn't say anything, because to our other side was the most amazing rollercoaster I have ever seen.

"Jaaade? Hellooo?" He said, trying to get my attention as he waved his hand in front of my face.

Instead of explaining myself, I simply pointed to the rollercoaster.

He turned around and saw what I pointed to. The huge ride with loops here and there, with people screaming... Every. Five. Seconds.

"Wow..." We said together, almost like a whisper, not able to find any words.

"That is..." He started.

"Awesome." I completed for him.

He probably got out of his trance because he started to talk straight again.

"Hey, Jade?" He asked, sounding like he had an idea.

"Yeah, Joe?" I replied, snapping out of it, too, and turning to him.

He leaned forward to me, his face only inches from mine.

My heart stopped beating and my lungs were incapable of helping me breathe.

His lips neared my ear and he whispered... "Race you to the ride."

And he ran away.

I soon recovered from the hypnosis-like state I was in because of the closeness of his face and mine. "H-hey!" I said, breathing again. "Wait up!" And I ran after him.

As I was running, I could've sworn I heard Nick and Kevin say, "This is gonna be an interesting day."

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

You are finished! YAAAYY... =))

Just want you guys to know that I got this from a dream I had before [OMJ! I'm like Stephenie Meyer!!! :O] and I just had to write it down.

Well, this isn't the dream part yet, I just had to write, like, how they got to that point.

What point, do you ask? You'll only find out if you REVIEW and put an ALERT. :D :D :D

Toodlez, everyone! ;)
