Chapter 1

There we were, Ambie, Lexxie, and I, on our away from our destination. We were on our way to becoming the next big girl band, Breaking Silence. Ambie and Lexxie hadn't stopped asking me where we were going since we left Florida. I mean they knew the basics: leaving for California, auditioning for a record label, but that was it. I wish I would have never told them I had a surprise for them. All I heard the whole day was, "come on, Katie. Tell us where we're going." More questions came my way, as we got closer to where we were going.

"So Katie, Lexxie tells me this surprise has to do with the beach. Is that true?" Ambie questioned me, like an investigator for a murder case.

"Yea… Sure… We'll go with that," I said keeping my cool. I was surprised at how long I had kept the secret.

"Come on! Just tell us! We're not giving up!" Lexxie told me with determination.

"OK!" I answered.

"Really?" said Ambie and Lexxie.

­"N-O, spells NO!" I said in a lecturing tone. "You're not giving up, and I'm not giving in. Besides we're almost there."

"Almost where?" Lexxie asked trying to outwit me.

"I'm not telling. WOW! You guys are going to love this," I told them.

So just as I ended the conversation, my phone rang. "And I'll wait for her to come. She won't break my…"

"Hey. Yea we're almost there. See ya in a bit. Yea I just said 'ya.' OMJ! You are so weird! Peace, love, and gap! Later hater," I said to the person on the phone.

"Who was it?" Ambie asked with her investigator face on.

"You can try to break me, but I WON'T FALL FOR THAT! I said half laughing, half serious.

Suddenly the whole car burst into laughter. It wasn't that funny, but I think the fourth Redbull pushed us over the top. We were laughing at everything. For the next thirty minutes, we danced and sung Jonas songs and played Eye Spy. I vaguely remember a "Marco Polo" thrown in there, but I don't know how we did it. Then for ten minutes we debated on weather or not Polo ever found Marco. Finally I turned down the street lined with big houses. We were there.

"What are we doing in the rich people's hood?" Lexxie asked.

"You'll see soon," I answered.

We got out of the car, and I started unpacking bags from the trunk. "Could ya'll help, please?" I asked as I dropped a bag on my toe. All I could think was 'OWW! The pain.'

I turned around to see my friends staring at a big old abandoned house. They had a puzzled look on their faces.

"Whatcha Looking at?" I asked.

"Oh… Well… It's cute, Katie," Ambie said.

"That's not where we're staying is it? If it is I'm going home," Lexxie said with a serious look on her face.

I busted into laughter. "No, Sillies! We're staying there!" I turned and pointed to the biggest house on the street.

"WOW!" Lexxie and Ambie exclaimed.

"How'd you do it?" Lexxie asked.

"Don't question my authority!" I said getting the weirdest looks. "JK! My friends live there."

"Who's your friend? Elvis? Yeppy Ambie! We get to meet a dead dude!" Lexxie said with the biggest grin on her face as she pulled her bag out of the trunk.

"Not just any dead dude," Ambie paused, "but the King!"

Both of my best friends busted out laughing.

"Hee! Hee! Hee! Very funny. No but really. Better than the King!" I informed them.

"Better then the King?" they said simultaneously. "Who?"

"Well…" I started.

"Well what?" Ambie and Lexxie asked.

"The JoBros!" I blurted out.

"LOL, Katie. You are so funny!" Ambie said with laughter in her words.

"Yea. You almost had us fooled. Good one, Katie," Lexxie said patting me not he back.

"No, I'm serious. Come on," I dropped the bags and grabbed Lexxie and Ambie. I dragged them toward the door and rung the doorbell. "Ding dong dong ding ding ding ding dong," sounded though the house. Feet could be heard on the other side of the door. The door screeched open.

"Hey, Joe!" I said.

"Hey, Kates!" he said hugging me. "Who are your friends?"

"This is Non-believer, and this is Sorry, AKA Lexxie and Ambie."

"Hey. I'm Joe, the welcoming committee!" Joe joked, flirtingly.

"Joe, you're such a flirt," I told him.

"I only flirt with cute girls," he said winking at us.

"Humana! Humana! Humana!" Lexxie said eyes wide open.

"WWWWOW!" Ambie said informing us she was shocked.

Then a monstrous scream came from the two girls. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Joe plugged his ears, but it was too late.

His eardrums busted like the first time Nick J played the drums and caused a big gashing whole in the drums skin.

"OK. I'm over it now. Hi. I'm Ambie."

"Cool," he said turning toward Lexxie.

"And I'm… I'm … Oh great! I forgot who I am," Lexxie said blushing.

"You're Lexxie," Joe said smirking.

"Yea, I'm Lexxie. That's it."

"Joe, can you help us with our bags?" I asked.

"Sure can!" he ran toward the car.

We lingered behind.

"You have a lot of explaining to do," Lexxie told me.

"Yea, little missy! How do you know the JoBros?" Ambie asked.

"I'll tell you later. Let's go help Joe," I said running and grabbing a suitcase.

So we each grabbed a bag. Joe told us Kev, Frankie, and Mrs. Jonas were out getting Taco Bell, Nick was out with Miley, and Mr. Jonas was taking care of some important business. Joe took us up to the guest room we'd be staying in. Oh boy that room was huge. It had two twin beds and its own bathroom.

"This is bigger than my room," I told Joe with excitement in my eyes.

"Anything is bigger then your room, Katie," Lexxie said.

"Yea, even this bathtub is bigger than your room," Ambie added.

"Hee! Hee! Hee! Once again the comical styles of Ambie and Lexxie are revealed," I said giggling.

"LOL! And that's the smallest tub we have," Joe said completely entertained by the whole conversation.

"OK, explain this to me," Ambie said to me.

"Yea, how do you know the JoBros, and why didn't you tell us?" Lexxie asked.

"Well, when I went to Sacred Heart, so did Nick, Joe, and Kevin. We were like best friends. I was devastated when Nick and I got in to fifth grade, and they said they were moving back to New Jersey. I cried for like ever and eventually never talked to them again. So I would have told you at the first Jonas Brother's concert we went to, but you wouldn't have believed me. I had no proof. So just a couple of weeks ago, guess who called? Mrs. Jonas. Her and my mom were close friends. My mom told Mrs. Jonas about our trip, and she offered us a place to stay. I jumped on the opportunity. So Joe, Kevin, and I have the whole three weeks planned. Not only do we get to audition for Hollywood Records, thanks to Mr. Jonas and his boys, but we also get to hang out with everyone here and have a blast. There will be parties and Jonas Brother's concerts! It will be like living the star life before we become stars! Isn't that fun?"

"Yea, that's cool!" Lexxie said.

"And really awesome!" Ambie shouted.

"ZZZZZZZZZZZZ," Joe snored.

"Joe!" I yelled.

"Oh sorry. That was a boring story. Anyone thirsty?" he asked.

We rolled our eyes and chased him down the stairs. After we settled down, Joe got bored again. He decided he'd make his own fun. Joe grabbed the big fluffy blue pillow and threw it at Lexxie.

"Oh no, Joe, Bad idea," Ambie said.

Lexxie grabbed the pillow and chucked it at Joe's tummy, but Joe had started the pillow war, and he was not going to let Lexxie finish it. He got up and swooped Lexxie into his perfectly toned arms. Then he gently tossed Lexxie on Ambie and me. Then the doorbell rang. I pushed everyone off of me and sprinted toward the door. I tripped over the pillow trying to get to the door.

"OWWW!" I cried out, but kept running for the door.

I opened the door and jumped into Kevin's arms.

"It's Mufasa!" I yelled.

"It's Katie!" he yelled in his best girl voice.

"Hi Mrs. Jonas," I said hugging Denise, a women like my second mother. "Thank you again for letting us stay here."

"You're very welcome. Anything for me to have another girl around here," she said.

Ambie and Lexxie ran into the room with Joe not far behind.

"Hi, Frankie. I'm Katie. I can remember when you were just a baby," I told Frank-The-Tank.

"What are all these babes doing in my house?" the nine-year old responded in his most gangster voice.

"Frankie," Mrs. Jonas scolded from the kitchen, "be nice."

Everyone laughed.

"Joe tells me you're quite the ladies man?" I stated.

"Yep, that's me," he answered.

"Frankie, Kevin, and Mrs. Jonas, I want you to meet my friends, Lexxie and Ambie," I said.

"Hello girls," Frankie said grabbing my friends' hands and kissing them softly.

Everyone cracked up, except for Mrs. Jonas.

"Hi, girls. Joe, did Nick call?" she asked.

"No, mommy," Joe answered.

"He was supposed to be home two hours ago, and what about your dad? Paul and I are going to dinner tonight, girls so you're stuck with the boys. I'm sorry. It's for Mr. Jonas' work."

"No problem, Mrs. J. We love the boys," I said turning toward Kevin and Joe. They had smiles on their faces from ear to ear.

The phone rang, and Mrs. Jonas picked up.

"DON'T YOU 'HI MOMMY' ME! NICHOLAS JERRY JONAS, I WANT YOU HOME RIGHT NOW, AND DON'T THINK YOUR GOING TO GET AWAY WITH THIS! WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LONG TALK ABOUT YOU CERFUE WHEN YOU GET HOME! YOU'LL BE LUCKY IF YOU EVER SEE DAY LIGHT AGAIN!" She calmed down, "Nick I'm very disappointed in you right now. You better be home in the next twenty minutes, or you'll never leave this house again." She hung up the phone. "I'm sorry everyone. I just don't know what to do with that boy."

"Give him to me," I whispered to Ambie.

"He's been home late every night this week. I know he has a girlfriend, but he still needs to follow the rules of my house," Denise said, with sadness in her heart.

"Maybe you need to not let him go out with Miley, for awhile. You know until, he gets back on track, or at least until Katie and her friends leave. Katie didn't come all the way here to spend time with Nick and Miley. She came to ketchup with the Jonas family. Miley's not a Jonas. Katie can't ketchup with him if he's out with Miley can she?" Joe said as I shoot him a look that said, 'Loser. I don't want Nick to hate me.'

"Joseph, you're just saying that because you and Kevin don't like her," Joe's mother said.

"Me, too," said Frankie.

"No, mom, really, how can we all hangout together if he's out with Miley," Joe added.

"Maybe you're right, Joseph, but I don't want to drive him away," explained Mrs. Jonas. "OK, you guys, I'm going to the grocery store. Go ahead and eat."

With that she walked out the door.
