CH7

"Ok everyone Carle said he is on his way up." Tiffany announced and ducked behind the sofa. Everyone scrambled to a hiding place and I ended up next to Tiffany. We heard the elevator ding and we all jumped up, but were stopped when we realized it wasn't James.

"There you all are." The dirty blonde spoke with relief. She was about to take a step forward when I jumped up to stop her.

"Don't step there!" I yelled. She stopped. I let out a sigh of relief.

"You invited me to James birthday, am I not allowed now? As your agent I should be."

"Of course Sarah! You know we love you!" Tiffany moved over to her. "It's just the booby trap." We grinned.

"Let me guess, Lily." I blushed and they laughed. "I like how you put that balloon under the bucket, really gives false security." She winked at me and moved over to the couch. "Hope this doesn't wear you all out for tonight's show."

Crystal placed her hand on Sarah's shoulder "Have we ever let you down before?" She grinned and patted Sarah.

"Yeah, thanks." Brandon got off the buzzer. "This time it really is James, so lets hide" he sighed "again."

We heard the elevator door open and we all jumped up and yelled "Surprise" his mouth dropped faster than his pants. We all covered our eyes.

"Dude, what happened to you?" Sam eyed James up and down looking at all his ripped clothes.

"Girls," he sighed "teen girls." He pulled up his pants so we could look again. "So which trap is it this year Lily." My grin wasn't easy to hide. "Last year it was water balloons, they year before was pies, and the year before that was a whoopy cushion when I was about to blow out my candles.

"Yeah that one was my favorite." Everyone laughed at Tiffany trying to replay the whoopy cushion noise.

He looked to the sides and at everyone, and then he looked up to see the balloon. "Fine." His foot came forward confidently and then it happened. Tons of foam came pouring out onto his head. We all burst into laughter. Brandon had his camera out and video taped the whole thing.

"Another trap for James' birthday CD" He tried to hold in his laughter.

Crystal came over still trying to keep a straight face " Santa, for Christmas I want a …" Her laughter over came her and she wasn't even able to finish her sentence.

I finally calmed down to see James glaring at me "What?" I shrugged.

"Nothing" Foam was covering almost every inch of his body "I just really want to hug you." A mischievous grin crossed is face.

"Oh uh- I think I have to go to the bathroom." I started my way to the door but was caught by Brandon.

"Aww, go hug you boyfriend." They all laughed and he lifted me up and carried me to James.

"Come on James it was just a joke." I pleaded; I felt his arms wrap around me and the foam squish into my clothes. I sighed. I held out my arms to get a clearer idea just how foamy I was. Everyone burst into laughter. Brandon came up with the camera.

"Nothing like two foamy love birds" I smiled at the picture and watched everyone role around laughing.

"Alright, alright, let's get this party started! Only have 5 hours till the show." Sarah managed to catch her breath. We headed over to the kitchen.

Sam came by us and went to pat James on the shoulder but stopped short "Really need to stop walking into those." He smiled. James smiled at me and took my hand in his.

We sang happy birthday to James and gave him his cake. We watched him practically fall all over his present of the London eye, and then we helped set it up in the den area. We finished our pizza and snacks by the time it was time to go.

"Alright everyone your instruments are on there way over there to get set up, all they need now are the performers. Good luck everyone I will meet you there in 5." Sarah ushered us out the suite and gave us all hugs. We headed out the door to the giant limo and went on our way.
