"Oh my gosh, I'm so excited about getting to go home and visit for a couple of days," Emma said to her best friend, Piper, as they walked to their gate together at the JKF airport in New York City.
"Yeah I know. It feels like we haven't seen our families in ages," Piper agreed. Although she was originally from New York City and considered the city her home, she also had another home back in Alabama.
Piper and Emma came from two different worlds. Piper was a sassy, well spoken northern girl from New York City, while Emma was a shy and mostly soft spoken southern girl from a small town in Alabama. The two met in high school when Piper moved down to Alabama with her family ,and ever since then the two girls have been inseparable.
The girls dreamed of one day becoming famous musicians, so of course, they did what all dreamers do…move to a bigger city, and since Piper had previously lived in New York the girls figured that it would be the perfect place to go, but now that they had some time off from work they would try to take a vacation home for a little while.
"Here's our gate," Piper said as she walked over to a bench and took a seat. It was very early in the morning so there wasn't many people there, which the girls were thankful for.
"Ugh, I'm so tired," Emma complained as she laid down across the bench, resting her head in her best friend's lap.
"Soon we'll be on the plane and we can have nap time," Piper said happily as she playfully patted her best friend's head. As the girls sat there for a minute, Piper couldn't help but notice two boys who looked oddly familiar.
"Hey Em," Piper said quietly, "look at those guys over there…do they look familiar to you?" Piper was referring to two guys who were dressed very stylish in their own personal ways and each was wearing a pair of sunglasses inside the airport.
Emma sat up so she could get a better look at the guys Piper was referring to. Both of the girls couldn't help but stare as they realized that they have seen these boys before, but just couldn't seem to place from where.
"Oh my gosh, Piper," Emma said as she finally realized who they had been staring at, "that's Nick and Kevin Jonas, from the Jonas Brothers," Emma finished with a whisper.
"No way," Piper said in shock as she too realized who the boys were.
"Let's just act normal…or at least what society would consider normal," Emma joked.
"You're right, but it's just so hard when they're so close to us," Piper admitted. She was right; the boys were standing just a few feet away from them. It seemed as if the boys were going to be on the same flight as them.
The girls kept their cool and distance from the land of crazy fans but unfortunately Emma's phone rang only to set off the Brother's newest single. Emma frantically grabbed for her phone to silence it, but the girls could not hide their embarrassment. They both hesitantly looked over at the guys to see if they had noticed.
"Nice ring tone," the guy that they both knew to be Kevin said, as he walked over.
Emma couldn't help but to shy away, red in the face, and reply "Thanks."
The two boys came closer and each introduced themselves to Emma and Piper. They all shook hands as the girls then took the chance to introduce themselves.
"I'm Piper, its nice to meet you and this is Emma," Piper said, trying not to freak out.
"Where are you two headed?" Nick asked.
"We're going to Birmingham to visit family," Emma responded, still slightly hesitant and shy.
Kevin smiled and said triumphantly, "That's our connection! We could sit together, if you guys don't mind having us."
"We'd love that," Emma responded with a soft smile.
"Where are you guys headed?" Piper asked curiously.
"Off to California," Nick answered, "got a new music video to shoot."
Piper and Emma smiled at each other, both with shock in their eyes due to the day's events.
