On a sunny Tuesday afternoon, the Backstreet Boys were interviewing reporters for a popular magazine, titled "Romeo Magazine," for a new article - "Dating Tips with the Backstreet Boys."
"So, B-Rok," asked the reporter, "what would you like for a perfect date?"
"For me," B-Rok answered, "I would like a picnic in the park."
After the interview, B-Rok and Kevin decided to talk to each other, as cousins. As they went to the craft service tent, Kevin told B-Rok that he has to be more careful about these dating interviews and on revealing their super-secret.
"But what are we going to tell Leighanne and Kristin about the whole aliens?" asked B-Rok.
"We'll just tell our wives that we've been bonding with them," Kevin replied.
As soon as Faith and Nadine arrived, they asked them if they could join them for dinner after rehearsal. Without any plans for dinner and a major grocery run, they decided to join them for dinner.

Meanwhile in Zallegro City, a torch dancer known as Zindokee Zasoku was ordered to go down to earth by orders of Emperor Zator.
"Don't worry," said Zindokee. "I'll give the earthlings a burning sensation."
Zora teleported him to Earth, just like she did with the other bounty hunters Zator hired.

On Earth, the Backstreet Boys and the Griff Gals were driving down the street of Orlando. A.J., Nick, Dorothy, Jessie, and Faith were in one car and B-Rok, Kevin, Howie D, Nadine, and Ginger were in another car, "So where is this restaurant you told us about, Faith?" asked A.J.
"Right down on Kijak Street," answered Faith. "And that's where we're going."
"The place was going has the tikis in front of them," finished Dorothy.
And they were right. The restaurant had tikis and Hawaiian decor in front of them.
"This is The Tiki Hut" Faith replied. "My parents own the place."
"It looks like something from a Hawaiian smoothie hut," B-Rok said, "not like the ones we went to when we went to Hawaii."
"That's the point," replied Dorothy. "The previous owner was a Hawaiian immigrant who thought it could be good to bring his cuisine to Florida. Around the time Aunt Alayna was pregnant with Faith, he retired and passed it down to Uncle Max."
"I grew up an only child," Faith explained, "but I gained three honorary sisters in."
This reminded the Backstreet Boys on how they had been honorary brothers since 1993.
Inside the restaurant, they saw an American middle-aged man with a Hawaiian shirt was going through a list of items. A British lady with a Hawaiian shirt came up and comforted her husband. Faith began to wonder what was going on, "It's your father" explained Mrs. Booth in her British accent. "He just got a new shipment of ribs for the rib-eating contest Saturday. Also, he got a new shipment of straws, cake frosting, and chocolate cake mix."
"Did dad eat some of the frostings again?" asked Faith.
"I'm afraid so," answered Mrs. Booth. "I'm gonna go with your father to avoid and any frosting cravings."
"Don't worry, Mom," said Faith. "We'll handle this like clockwork."
"And with the world-famous Backstreet Boys," Mrs. Booth said, "it's a good thing Faith called before you guys showed up. We didn't want to turn the place into a madhouse."
"Alayna!" shouted Mr. Booth by the door. "We gotta hurry!"
"Coming, Maximus!" Mr. Booth shouted as she and her husband left the restaurant.
"Maximus," chuckled B-Rok as Nick joined in. "More like Gluteus Maximus."
"Yeah, yeah," growled Faith. "He gets that a lot. Ever since he was eight, Dad has been going by Max instead."
Faith took them to the employee lounge, so they could get ready.

Later, the Backstreet Boys were all dressed in Hawaiian shirts. One by one, Faith gave them positions. "Nick and B-Rok, you can wait tables. Kev and Howie D, you can handle the cooking. Your moms must've taught you some recipes."
"What about me?" wondered A.J.
"You get to be the cashier," Faith answered. "Now quickly; the dinner rush is going to come any minute."
After Faith left to check on inventory, a group of pirate/goth teenagers arrived at The Tiki Hut. They saw that the whole place was empty, except for a few hunky waiters and chefs. Howie D was confused about who the scary girl in the middle was.
"That's my older sister Hiroshi," explained Ginger, "but she prefers to be called, Hone, which is Japanese for "bone." Looks like Mr. Booth booked her a gig here again."
"She's a bassist for Island of the Black Spot," Jessie recalled. "And a huge A.J. McLean fan."
A.J. was horrified by this, because Hone was his hugest fan, "Hey, Captain," said the drummer. "Looks like the Backstreet Boys have been demoted."
Then Hone got an idea to contacted the kids from teen hangout, Club Obsidian, and the tattoo parlor their work part-time at Pigment Island.
Ginger and Jessie, on the other hand, pushed A.J. into the kitchen to avoid any troubles.

Meanwhile, on the beach, Zindokee was ready for a luau of Zator Power. Tiki robots started burning the beach down like crazy. It was awful, someone had to stop the robots fast.

Back at The Tiki Hut, everyone arrived with big orders of cheese pizza, burgers, fries, and sodas. With one gaze, they could see the entire place. packed with goths. This was a pickle for them. Remembering those '50s movies and "Happy Days," Faith got an idea. She fixed up rollerskates onto the boys and they quickly gave the customers their orders.
Hone and her friends were annoyed because they invited the goths to laugh at the famous boy band for dressing up as waiters.
"This is out of whack," called Howie D.
"I had heart surgery, man," B-Rok replied. "And I don't think I can take any more of this dining service."
After the last table has been served, there started to sense danger at the harbor. They knew couldn't just run a restaurant and stop evil aliens at the same time. Through the kitchen window, they could see Island of The Black Spot tuning up their instruments. This can only mean one thing, this was their chance to stop the evil aliens.
Backstreet's Back, Alright!

When the Cyber Crusaders and the Griff Gals arrived at the beach, Griffin Girl realized something. "This seems a bit dangerous."
"Danger is my middle name," said Top Speed.
"I thought it was Thomas," Ninja Man joked.
Annoyed, Top Speed started hopping up and down the beach for the danger.
There were too many tiki robots, and Top Speed felt hopeless, "Everyone is a hero in their own special way," explained Centauremerald. "Batman uses a signal at night, Spider-Man senses danger, and Sailor Moon uses her little hair decor to hear the danger."
"And Superman flies, and Wonder Woman flies an invisible jet and rides a motorcycle like you guys," finished Griffin girl.
Feeling encouraged, Top Speed got up and did some slam dunks on the robots. Zindokee became horrified by this. "Now you see the dangers of fire safety," he laughed.
Zindokee was annoyed because his evil plans were foiled by ten Earth heroes. Before he could do a fire torch dance on Top Speed, Diamondnix froze the torches and broke them. His feet were being prickled by the ice shards. Everyone laughed and took off to the changing rooms and turned back to their regular selves.

After a ride on their motorcycles. They arrived at The Tiki Hut. And just to their surprise when they got in, the place was a mess. Quickly, they all grabbed the dirty dishes and cups, took them to the kitchen and cleaned them up.
Onstage, Island of the Black Spot was performing another heavy metal version of a Backstreet Boys song. Hone was on bass and vocals, and her friends were backing her up. Jolly Remington was rhythmic guitars, Cabin Boy Calvin on Electric Guitar, and Hearty Hugo on drums, "We like to dedicate this number to a special A.J. McLean." announced Hone.
As they were playing "The Call," A.J. was surprised that they're playing a heavy-metal version of the song. Now the others weren't into heavy metal, but A.J. and Jessie seemed fine with it.
Mr. and Mrs. Booth came in to see the place packed like crazy. To them, it felt like a haunted house.
"What has Hiroshi done now?" Mrs. Booth asked.
"I hope nothing scary," answered Mr. Booth.
Hone then did the most horrific thing ever - she activated her fish cannon, and smelly fish was flying all over the place. Island of the Black Spot laughed, but everyone was angry.

A few minutes later, Island of the Black Spot was punished by cleaning the entire restaurant up and making the Backstreet Boys go crazy on orders, "I'm impressed," Mr. Booth said to his daughter, "teaching a big-time boy band how to serve a three-star restaurant."
"Believe me, Dad," Faith replied. "Responsibility and being different pay off."
"And what makes you say that, love?" asked Mrs. Booth.
"B-Rock," said Faith. "He can slam dunk and shoot goals in sports. His cousin Kevin lived in a log cabin for eight years. Abe Lincoln would've loved it. Howie D can speak English and Spanish., A.J. had an uncle in a 1950s band that didn't make it, and Nick was the lead in his fourth-grade production of 'The Phantom of the Opera'."
"If he's the Phantom of the Opera," Dorothy said flirtatiously, "then I'm Christine DaaƩ."
Since Mr. and Mrs. Booth were proud of them for doing their best, they decided to have some Tiki Hut Chocobiscus Sundaes on them. Hone and her friends wondered if they would want some, but Dorothy told them that people who use fish cannons don't get any. Then Island of the Black Spot went back to work cleaning the restaurant.
The End.
