As Sarah walked down the hall to look through the peephole of the Jonas Brothers' hotel room, the door of Room 52 opened wide. Sarah could hear an argument about the Muffin Man coming from the room. A guy with dark curly hair came out of the room and rolled his eyes at the argument as he walked past Sarah. Sarah acted as if he wasn't there until he was behind her. Then she turned around and looked at him with wide eyes and an open mouth. She hurried to the door and looked through the peephole. She watched two boys argue about the Muffin Man. She giggled at the argument a few times.
"Having fun?" the guy before asked her. She quickly turned around to see Kevin Jonas standing there smiling.
"Oh, um... Sorry, I..." Sarah tried to explain but couldn't.
Kevin laughed and said, "It's okay. Completely understandable. A little weird... but.."
"Thanks." she smiled at him. "I'm Sarah." She shook his hand.
"I'm Kevin."
"I know!" Sarah said almost dreamily.
"Yeah... so how old are you?"
"Sixteen next month."
"Oh. Happy almost birthday!"
"Thanks. Well, I gotta go... nice meeting you!"
Sarah walked back into her room, closed the door, and grinned.
"I met Kevin!!" She yelled, probably too loudly. Kevin heard her and smiled as he walked back into his room.
"Hey guys. Still talking about the Muffin Man?" He greeted the boys who were sitting on the sofa.
"Nah, we've moved on to more important things." The boy with straight hair said. "We're discussing Humpty Dumpty."
"I still think he is a bad example for kids. You know, sitting on walls that are easy to fall off of." said the boy with curly hair.
"Yeah, but why would the King's horses and men wanna put him back together again? They could just scramble and eat him."
"I wonder what that would taste like?"
Kevin rolled his eyes. "Hey Joe..."
"Yeah?" the boy with straight hair answered.
"You broke up with Emily, right?"
"Yeah... why? You find another girl for me?"
"Maybe."
"You met Kevin Jonas?!" Gabi asked.
"Yeah!"
"Wow..."
"What, if you wanna meet one, go look through their peephole!"
"I don't want to meet them... well I do.. but I don't.. I'd be way too nervous."
"Don't worry, you can wait until tomorrow."
"What?"
"Don't you know? We will be meeting them after the concert, just like everyone else."
Her eyes widened nervously at the thought of meeting them. She felt something slide down her throat.
"You okay?"
"I just swallowed my gum..." Sarah burst out laughing.
"But seriously, how am I gonna meet them? I can barely meet normal people!"
"You'll be fine!"
"I sure hope so..."

Forcing Love & Friendship - Chapter 2
Three days passed quickly for Gabi and she sat in the living room chair in nervous anticipation as she waited for her friends to pick her up. She was leaving to the airport where they were to be flying to Atlanta to attend a Jonas Brothers concert. The first of many concerts they would be attending. See, her friend, Sarah, had bought front row tickets to every Jonas Brothers concert from June 25 to August 30, and plane tickets to fly to every city the concerts would be held.
The horn of a car honked outside. Gabi looked out the window to see Marissa, Sarah's older sister, wave her arm madly out of the open car window. Gabi got up and went out the door. She wished she could say goodbye to her family, but they were at a party and left her here to wait for Marissa, Keila, and Sarah. She walked up to the black SUV and opened the door. She sat next to her friends and buckled up. They drove to the airport. This would be the start of a wild rollercoaster ride.
They got in the plane and flew to Atlanta. They passed the time with small, electronic devices. Sarah played with her black Nintendo DS, Keila listened to her iPod Nano, and Gabi watched a movie on her portable DVD player.
When they finally landed and got their luggage, Keila and Gabi turned to Sarah.
"So, Senior Smarty Pants," Keila started. "What do we do now? If we wait to find out what hotel the Jo Bros. are staying at, where will we sleep tonight?"
"Don't worry, for the first night, we'll stay at any hotel. Just for the night. Well, unless we get lucky and end up in the same hotel anyway."
Sarah called a cab and we drove to the Fantasy Hotel. We checked in and got a room with three bedrooms. We went to the 3rd floor and went into Room 49. We unpacked enough for the night. After 20 minutes of boringly flipping TV channels, Sarah left and snuck into an office. She went on to the computer and found the list of hotel guests. When she saw who was checked into Room 52, she almost screamed. She snuck out and went back to the room with a Dr. Pepper can in hand.
"Sup." She said as she entered the room and sipped the soda she held.
"Hey, Sarah. So what did you find out?" Keila asked calmly, not moving her head from the TV.
"What makes you think I found something out?"
"You always find something out."
"True..."
"So what is it?"
"Okay, you won't believe who's staying a few rooms down from us!"
"Who?" Keila was still calm.
"Okay, don't scream."
"Whatever."
"It's..." she took a deep breath. "The Jonas Brothers!"
"Okay."
"Did you hear me? I said the Jonas Brothers!"
"I heard you. Toss me a pillow, would ya?" She did as asked and Keila screamed into the pillow. She removed the pillow from her mouth and tossed it back to her.
"Thanks, Sarah." Sarah rolled her eyes.
"Where's Gabi?"
"Bathroom."
"Yo, Gabi!! Did you hear our conversation?!!"
Gabi came out of the bathroom with a flush.
"Are you serious?!"
"Would I joke about this?!"
"Probably..."
"You're right... well I'm not joking now!"
Gabi's face lit up with a mile wide grin.
"No way!!"
"Yeah way!!"
Gabi was about to scream but Sarah quickly covered her mouth.
"Don't scream! If they know that we know that they're staying here, they might go to another hotel!" Gabi nodded as Sarah removed her hand and wiped it on her shirt.
"Well, I'm going to look through their peephole. Bye." Sarah left.
Gabi stood there in happy shock. She was excited, and yet seriously nervous. What they bump into her and try to talk to her? Gabi was extremely shy with new people, let alone people like the Jonas Brothers. Would it be different this time?

Forcing Love & Friendship - Chapter 1
Gabriella Rodriguez stepped out of the school and happily breathed in. School was now officially over and it was time to start an awesome summer. She walked home with her two best friends, Mickeila Thomas and Sarah Donzik. Sarah's house was the first stop and Sarah ran inside to plan something extremely wonderful for all three of them. Keila's house was next and she walked inside to rid herself of school items. And finally, Gabi arrived at her front door. She stepped inside the house and happily plopped her backpack on the ground and walked to her room to practice playing guitar. She was the only one of her friends that didn't know how to play guitar, so she decided to take lessons. She was good by now, but still needed practice before she could be great. She finished and immediately heard her cell phone ringtone of Year 3000.
"Hello?"
"Gabi! It's Sarah. Get over here!"
"Why? What's wrong?"
"What the...? Nothing's wrong. Just get here! I have our summer all planned out!"
"Already?"
"Yeah! Now get your effin' butt over here!"
"Okay."
She closed her phone and put it in the pocket of her jeans. She headed down the stair and headed out the door after telling her mom where she was going. As she was walking down the side walk, she heard a "Bleep!" She got a text message.
Hurry up!
from Sarah.
She got this message three times before she got to Sarah's house. She got to the door and was about to knock when it flew open. Sarah was standing at the door and pulled Gabi in the house and dragged her up the stairs and into her room where Keila was waiting. The walls were plastered with posters of singers, mostly the Jonas Brothers.
"Geez, what took you so long?!" Sarah yelled as she slammed the door shut.
"I just walked here..."
"You're effin' slow!"
"Sorry."
"So," Keila said. "What do you have planned for us?"
"Okay," Sarah started. "We are going to, dramatic pause, stalk the Jonas Brothers!"
"What?!" Gabi and Keila exclaimed in unison.
"How are we gonna do that?!" Keila asked.
"It's simple. See, my stinkin' rich grandparents gave me a credit card for 5 grand! And my parents don't care what I do or where I go. So we are going to spend all summer stalking the Jonas brothers! See, we're gonna follow them around when they go to concerts. I've already made a chart with where the concerts are gonna be and left room for what hotels they're gonna stay at. We will find out when we go backstage and spy on them."
Gabi raised her hand. "I have a question."
"Yeah?"
"How will we get backstage without passes?"
"Ever heard of sneaking, Gabi?"
"I've heard of it. I don't like the idea, though."
"Fine, if you don't want to meet the Jonas Brothers..."
"I do! Just... not like that."
"Well, too bad. We're gonna do it and we're leaving for Atlanta in three days."
"Wait, what about our parents?"
"I already took care of that, you worry wart! I told your parents that you're coming with me all summer to my grandparents' house."
"What?! Oh no. Oh no! I can't lie! Not to my parents!"
"It's fine, Gabi! How are they gonna find out?"
"What if they call your grandparents?"
"I told them that they are afraid of telephones." Keila laughed at what Sarah said.
"But..."
"No freakin' buts, Gabi! Now start packing."
"Hello?"
"Gabi! It's Sarah. Get over here!"
"Why? What's wrong?"
"What the...? Nothing's wrong. Just get here! I have our summer all planned out!"
"Already?"
"Yeah! Now get your effin' butt over here!"
