Warning: This is not the easiest ship for me to write but here you go. As requested, it is an older version
of LouBoo where Louise is 14 and BooBoo (or now known as Brayden) is 15. That is going off of the assumption that
BooBoo is one year older than Louise. Secondly, Brayden is not actually addressed in the show itself, it is a fan name
that I chose myself because I thought it would work better for this story.
Finally if we have any artists out there who want to draw anything from this fanfic, feel free to! Just please attach a
link to this story or give me credit for the design. You can also send me a link to it so I can check out your cool art.
BooBoo walked down the street, kicking pieces of trash off the sidewalk.
Although now, he went by Brayden, his birth name. He decided to change it back ever since he dropped out of the
music business.
It wasn't the only thing that changed either. His hair was roughly cut now and swooped down his neck and face. A
major growth spurt had also made him tall and gangly.
Brayden sighed, "Where did it all go wrong."
Ever since he turned 15 his life had gone downhill. Puberty had not been kind to his voice. It turned from sweet and
smooth to cracked and broken. No one wanted to listen to that.
At first him and the other guys in Boyz 4 Now tried using auto tune, but then there was the Kentucky Derby
Scandal...and Brayden knew it just wasn't going to work out. So he called it quits and pursued other options.
Now, if that had been the end then he would have been fine. Brayden still had the money left over from his short
career and even if he hadn't pursued something else he probably could have floated on that reservoir for at least 50
years or so had there not have been that fire that burned down the hotel he was staying at.
Luckily he escaped alive and relatively unscathed.
This was not the same for his profits which he had been unfortunately storing with him. It was all destroyed.
That's not to say he was broke by any means, he had a fantastic insurance plan, but it didn't cover nearly enough of
the damages.
That's how he had ended up here, in New Jersey at a run-down
town centered around an old amusement park called
Wonder Wharf.
Brayden was so caught up in his reminiscing that he had completely lost track of time. It was half past three and he
was starving.
"Where am I?" He wondered looking around.
Ocean Avenue was printed on a faded sign near the end of the block.
"Maybe there's someplace to eat around here..." Brayden thought as he wandered down the street.
Up ahead he saw two restaurants.
One was a pizza parlor that seemed packed to the brim. He could hear a barrage of voices, audio speakers, and oddly
enough a man screaming "Shut up Jimmy Pesto!".
Brayden didn't really feel up to being around a bunch of people right now.
He looked over at the other restaurant.
It seemed relatively empty with perhaps one or two customers by the look of it.
"The burger joint it is!" He thought to himself and stepped up to the door pushing it open.
A bell dinged as he walked inside.
He looked around to see if there was a server. Nothing. That's when he noticed a pair of pink tattered ears poking
from above the faded yellow counter.
"Now why does that seem so familiar?" Brayden pondered.
He looked over the table and saw a girl, about his age maybe, scrubbing away at a large brown stain on the floor. She
obviously hadn't heard him enter the establishment.
Brayden nearly gasped.
It was that girl from about 3 years ago that had stowed away in the Boyz 4 Now van during a concert along with
another girl, her sister, who had been much older.
She had obviously been smitten with him, like many girls, but when he tried to talk to her, she had slapped him.
"What was her name..." he pressed his brain for the memory. "Louise! That was it!"
She had changed too. Gone was the little girl with the green dress and pigtails. Now she was a fourteen year old
teenager that had matured in more ways than one.
Her hair was now held back in a single long ponytail that nearly reached her waist. She wore a simple green tank and
some fitted black jeans, and Brayden had to admit, they looked good on her.
He cleared his throat to catch her attention.
Startled Louise jumped up to face him. Their faces were mere inches away from each other.
Awkwardly Brayden pulled away blushing.
"Wait? Why am I blushing?" He scolded himself. "This girl had a crush on me years ago, literally! I've had hundreds of
girls screaming my name and asking me to marry them, why is this making me embarrassed!"
"Hello?" Brayden heard a voice ask.
"Huh?" He said coming out of his stupor.
"Are you going to order or are you just going to stand there?" Louise asked annoyed.
"Oh yeah! Sorry!" Brayden stammered flustered.
"Wait a second..." Louise said squinting at him. "Aren't you BooBoo? The old Boyz 4 Now guy?"
"Errr...yeah..." Brayden responded, "But I go by the name Brayden now."
"Oh sure!" She said leaning on the counter with both arms underneath her. "So, what are you doing in this trash
heap?" Louise exclaimed, gesturing around the restaurant. "I mean, the only celebrity we've seen here is that dude
from the Hawk and Chick movies."
"Well, I guess I just felt in the mood for a burger and this happened to be in the area." Brayden replied truthfully.
"Plus, I'm not really considered a celebrity anymore."
"Whatever." Louise said. "Anyways, you'll get your burger once the cook comes back from screaming at Jimmy Pesto
across the street."
"So that's who I heard yelling..." Brayden thought.
"Well, I fine with waiting." He said cheerily.
"More than fine." he thought to himself smugly. This was going to be fun.
Yo, so as an after note, I know that this one was short but again; LouBoo is not my forte. I may continue this with a
part two if I can think of a good way to finish it, but no promises. Feel free to correct any of my spelling or grammar
errors but please, be nice. Also remember to check out my stories and art on my DA account also under the name blagra1679.
