Subject: Double Take1

  Disclaimer: I don't know BSB or anyone connected to them in anyway. I
don't know their sexual preferences, this is just a story. I made it all up
in my own little twisted world. Well, it's not that twisted but that's not
the point.

  Warning: I don't know where this is going, or what will happen. I've had
this story on my mind for the past couple of months. There may be sex, but
if there is it won't be in the first chapter. So if that's what you're
looking for you might want to look in another place. Now I'm going to try
and not use any super natural beings. I may fail but hell trust me when I
say I can't help it.

   Authors Note: Well I'm back and my BSB kick, and I've left for other
bands alone. Now that most likely won't last for long so don't get your
hopes up. If you have time and like this story check out some of my other
stories. I'll leave a small list at the end of this chapter. I don't have
an editor anymore, so most likely there will be a few mistakes. I would
also like to add that if you have the time to please e-mail me. I love feed
back and in some ways it helps get the next chapter out. Ok I'm going to
explain my symbols and my way of writing. I write in the first person point
of view, so to tell the story better I switch characters. I use these ***
to do that and I also use those symbols to start off the chapter. I will
put the name of the characters name in between the symbols when I start a
chapter. When I change the character in the middle of the chapter or any
part of the chapter the name will be at the end of the symbols. As of right
now those are the only symbols I use. If I add more symbols I will explain,
now on with the story I hope you enjoy it.


***Ash***

  I was really starting to hate the mall, but that didn't stop me from
trying to shop. I loved clothing and hoped to be a fashion designer
someday. You see the reason I was starting to hate malls was simple. I
looked a little like a pop star, well more than little like him. I had been
mistaken for this guy more then thirty times in the last three weeks. I
hadn't thought I looked that much like him until I saw a picture of him in
magazine. I spent a few week's comparing pictures and getting more upset
every day. I didn't really understand how I could look so much like a total
stranger. I had to admit the guy was hot, so it wasn't so bad. I just
wished that the teen nation would get a hint, I couldn't be him. This guy
was on tour with the rest of his band mates, how could he be in this city
in this mall? He couldn't it was that simple, now if he was in the area or
he had a concert in town I could understand. The only problem was he
wouldn't step foot in this town. It wasn't all that big and there wasn't
all that much you could do for fun. Then again that's just me talking, I'm
sure other people would disagree. I just didn't like the city and decided
that the first chance I got I was history. I wouldn't even look back, and
since I didn't have any real connections it didn't seem like a bad idea.

  I was about to be stormed again by a bunch of girls until I gave them the
evil eye. They backed off quickly and went on about their business. I was
happy with myself for the time being. Then to my own amazement I saw
someone having the same problem I normally had. I had to admit we could
pass for brothers without a problem, so I took mercy on him. I walked up
beside him and placed my arm around his shoulder. "What's up Eric, these
girl's getting you confused with Nick Carter. I just had the same thing
happen man, I swear they never learn." He looked at me with amazement and
then back to the girls who looked highly confused. "Hi I'm Ash, this is my
twin brother Eric, it's nice to meet you." The girls looked highly pissed
off, then they stormed off without saying another word. "You're safe now
man, just be careful, us look a likes have to stick together." I started to
move away from him until he grabbed my shoulder. "Thanks man, that really
meant a lot to me, you really saved me." I just nodded and thought about
leaving as soon as he released my arm. "It's no problem man, it happens to
me all the time, just thought I could help." He looked like he was in deep
thought then he reached into his pocket. He handed me a ticket to a concert
that was in town later on that night.

  Then he smiled and took off like he was running from a fire. I looked at
the ticket and my jaw dropped at the band that was playing. I looked back
up to see where he had ran off to, but he was long gone. I just found out
that he wasn't a look a like, he was the real deal. I couldn't believe I
had just let him get away with asking him out on a date. Then again I was
little happy that I hadn't asked him. I would have gotten turned down cold,
he had to be straight. I didn't let myself get carried away with those kind
of thoughts. I could dream but hey this is reality, not some fantasy. I
shook the shock away and decided it was time I went home. I had to pull a
really good outfit together and really fast, maybe I could sell some of
them. I had been making my own clothes for years now, and now I could show
them off. I ran to my car and jumped in, I only had four hours to get
ready. Once I got home I took a quick shower and ran into my bedroom. I
started throwing my clothes on my bed and sorting through them. I still had
a lot of time so I slowed down a little and tried to calm myself down. I
looked at everything I had on my bed and nothing seemed to go right. I
looked through my drawings until I found the picture I was looking for, it
was the perfect outfit.

  I ran into the my living room and searched for the right fabrics. I
smiled to myself and ran to sowing machine. I knew that I would have to be
really careful with my movements since I was rushing. If I took my time and
made the pants like I normally did, which took a few hours I wouldn't have
to worry. I didn't really have time for all of that now, they had to be
done in an hour so I could start on the shirt. Two hours later I had my
outfit, it looked wonderful. I slipped the pants and smiled to myself,
another perfect fit if I didn't say so myself. The pants were slightly lose
in some areas while skin tight in other areas. They were a dark blue that
could pass for black with little lighting. The shirt was mostly tight with
a large neck line. It opened at the top and went to the edges of my
shoulders. It was the same shade and the same fabric as the pants, it
looked wonderful. I grabbed my black dress shoes and headed out so I could
get to the concert on time. I paused, and my world came to a crashing to a
halt. I had to work today, and I had to be there in less than an hour. I
ran to my cell phone and dialed my work number and waited for the manger to
pick up. "Jade, this Ash and I hate to say this but I can't make it into
work tonight." I heard some very loud yelling coming for the other side of
the phone.

  Jade was yelling at a costumer for breaking one of her vases. "What did
you just say Ash, it had better not be what I think it was." I cringed
slightly and thought of the best excuse I could. "I can't make it into
work, I'm not really feeling all that well. I don't even think I'm going to
be able to make to the club tonight." I listened as Jade sighed heavily she
was a very unhappy camper right now. "Fine I'll cover your shift, but this
had better not happen again Ash. I hope this guy is worth you working all
next week, cause that's what you're going to be doing." Once again I
cringed, she had busted me without a problem. "It won't happen again Jade,
you know I love you right?" She laughed and then hung up, look's like I
would be working all next week. I then turned around and went back to the
bathroom. I had forgotten to fix my hair so I styled it and ran to my
car. I made sure I had two changes of clothes just in case I needed them. I
pulled out of my drive way and raced to the arena where the concert was
being held. I got out of the car and went to the ticket collector and gave
him my ticket. "Take this stub and show it to that guard over there
please." I was a little confused but followed his orders and took the
ticket to the guard. He looked at me and then at the ticket then me again.

  He took a few deep breaths and then moved to his side. "Real funny Nick
but your little joke won't work this time, get your ass back stage." I
looked at him and I was about to say something when he gave me the evil
eye. I just followed his orders, he was scary and big, and I didn't feel
like getting my ass kicked. I entered the back stage area only to find
people rushing around everywhere. I took a deep breath and changed into the
whole mess. "Nick what the hell are you doing, I just told you to get to
the dressing room. That's it I'll take you myself, now move it, I swear all
of you are trying to kill me." I didn't know who the guy was but he looked
highly pissed off. He shoved me into the dressing room then closed the
door. "Nick what are you doing in those clothes, do you ever listen to
anything I say to you." He grabbed my arm and that's when I decided it was
time to put a stop to this whole mess. "Get you hands off me you little
bugger, I'm not Nick for crying out loud." He looked shocked and looked at
me closely, then he put his hand over his mouth. Finally, someone knew I
wasn't Nick, I looked up and thanked god. "How dare you talk to me like
that Nick, after all I've been through with you boys. This isn't a time for
games, you have to be on stage in less than an hour." I looked at the man
with first amazement then anger, I was so close to knocking his lights out.

  Brian ran out of dressing room laughing, then he looked at me. He looked
highly confused and then looked behind himself. "How the hell did you get
out here, and when did you have time to change?" Then Nick ran out behind
Brian, the man that had been bugging me, freaked out. He started breathing
really fast then he passed out I caught him just in the nick of time. Brian
looked at Nick and then me, he kept looking back and forth. Then he passed
out, Nick caught him and then looked at me. "I guess everyone thought you
were me, it's the only way you could have gotten here. Give me a hand will
you he's not as light as he looks." I nodded and sat the little man down
and went to help Nick. I looked at Nick, he had some explaining to do, to
everyone, myself included. When Brian woke up he looked at me then Nick
again, then he grabbed his head. "I know I'm not seeing this, I've finally
lost it. All this touring has finally made me lose it, dear god in heaven
take me now." I rolled my eyes and looked at Nick who doing his best not to
laugh. I took a seat and tired to collect my thoughts as the room started
to fill with people. Kevin walked into the room next, luckily he didn't
pass out he only looked confused.

  Then AJ and Howie entered the room, AJ looked scared. "Oh god, theirs two
of them, this must be hell. When did we die, and what did I do deserve
this, I don't remember doing anything this bad?" I looked at AJ and stuck
my tongue out, Nick happened to do the same thing at the same time. All
three of them backed away slightly, then looked at one another. "Would
someone please tell me what the hell's going on, cause I'm really starting
to get confused." Nick walked toward Kevin, which only caused him to back
away more. "Do you guys remember when I told you this guy saved my ass at
the mall?" Kevin nodded slowly and looked at me, then back to Nick. "Well,
that's him and he saved me by acting like my twin brother. I kinda left
that part out, but I didn't think this would happen. I gave him a ticket
and asked the ticket collectors to send him to the guards. Then the guard
was supposed to bring him back to wait until I could introduce him to
you. There must have been a mix up, everyone must thought I was playing
some kind of joke. So they got him back here and well I guess you can put
the rest together for yourselves." They looked at me closely, then Brian
walked toward me smiling.

  He pinched my cheek and pulled slightly, I smacked his hand away. "You
ever do that again and you won't have a hand buddy." He almost jumped back
but then he started laughing lightly. "It's amazing, they could pass for
twins, this is so weird." After that was said all of them walked up and
looked at me closely. The little man was starting to wake up and then once
he saw me and Nick he passed right back out. I couldn't contain the
laughter when he passed back out. "They even sound a like, and that's even
creeper, only I think this guy has a better fashion sense." After Brian
said that he looked straight at Nick. "I would have a better fashion since
to if I could shop at the same stores." I was starting to get a swelled
head, since it was my design and all. "Well, I don't think you would find
this at a store, well at least you had better not I made this outfit." AJ
looked at me and then at the clothes closely. "By the way my names Ash Lee,
it's nice to meet all of you famous people." I nodded and stood up to
leave, I didn't think it would wise if I was around when the little man
woke up again. "Where are you going, I wanted you back here for a reason."
I turned and looked at Nick, he had this evil grin on his face, the boy
looked evil himself. I wondered if I had ever made that face before, and if
I had who I had scared off.

  I walked back to my seat and looked at him like I was waiting. "Well, I
want to hire you to do a job, it would pay twenty an hour for every hour
that you worked." I almost lost the power to breath, what kind of job did
he have in mind. "You would get to travel the world and do things most
people just dream about. On top of that you wouldn't have to worry about
your food or lodging." He was about to go on when I raised my hand, I felt
like a second grader. "Sounds like a nice job, but what is it that you have
in mind?" His eyes got wide, then he got this look that just said
"duh". "Go with me whenever I go to the mall or to a club by myself. With
you around we can just act like twins, as long as it doesn't leak to the
press it should work." I looked at him it was a great idea, and I could get
out this town. There was only one real problem, I would have to stay out of
sight. I was trying to become a fashion designer, and I didn't know if I
could do that by staying out of the pubic eye. "I can do this, but only on
one condition, after it's all over and you no longer need me you help me
with my fashion career." Nick looked at me and shrugged his shoulders then
looked to Kevin. "As long as the clothing is decent I'll do what I can to
help you with it." I held my hand out and he shook it slowly then smiled
brightly.

   I walked with Nick back to his dressing room, it was interesting. "So is
this the first outfit you've made, or are their others?" I explained how I
had been making my own clothes for the past couple of years. "You've done a
lot, and I have to admit I love what you're wearing now. How long did to
take you to make it?" I smiled to myself and thought about it and told him
he looked highly impressed. "There's only one problem, with my not taking
my time it could fall apart. I should have taken my time but I wanted
something nice to wear when I came here. So I made it and here it is, I'm
just worried that I'm going to make the wrong move and lose my outfit."
Nick smiled lightly and shook his head, then looked back at me. "Well, it's
nothing to really worry about it's not like you don't wear boxers or
something." I raised my eye brows and smiled sweetly, then slowly started
to laugh. "I haven't worn under clothing since I was twelve, plus I like
the free feeling thank you very much." Nick looked at me and started
laughing, now he understood why I was worried about losing my
clothes. "Well, then I think you better get a needle out because I can see
the side of your thigh." I had thought he was just joking, but I looked
down anyway, and found that he wasn't joking at all. I cursed myself for
not taking my time and doing this correctly. Nick was rolling with laughter
as the my pants started to thread a little more with every step I took.

  I took a deep breath and decided that I wouldn't let it get to me. If
they fell off they fell off that's the way I looked at it. I had a very
nice body, not perfect but nice. That was one of the reasons I liked to
wear tight clothing. Nick stopped laughing when I continued to walk, in
fact he got serious. "You do realize that in a minute those are going to
fall off right?" I nodded and continued to walk as the pants got closer to
falling. I held my head up high and smiled brightly, and kept repeating to
myself, won't let it get to me. So far it was working like a charm, until
Nick pulled me into his dressing room. That's was the last straw for the
pants, and all Nick could do was gawk. He shook his head a few times and
turned around. "You can barrow some of my pants, there over there in the
closet." He had pointed and I had followed his finger to the clothes. I
picked a pair out that would match up with my shirt. I took my shoes of and
slid into the pants I zipped them up being really careful. I hated zippers
with a passion, most of the pants I had made didn't have a zipper. I then
put my shoes back on and looked into the mirror, everything was in place. I
had one small problem the pants were a little too tight for my taste. They
didn't leave very much to the imagination, but I could live with that.

  I walked up behind Nick and tapped him on the shoulder lightly. "I'm
ready to go when you are, where is that I'm going by the way. I mean since
I have to stay out of the pubic eye so much I can't really watch the
concert from normal seats." This seemed to make sense to Nick so he had to
think about it. "Well, if you want you could wear a hat and sun glasses and
sit beside the stage and watch everything." I nodded and patted him on
shoulder, then we headed back to the others. This time when I entered the
room the little man didn't pass out since everything had been explained to
him. "You are a very rude young man, but since I can understand how you
must have been feeling I forgive you." I looked at the odd little man and
smiled sweetly, it took everything I had not to make a commit. "Why thank
you for being so kind and forgiving, after all it wasn't like I told you
who I was." I continued to smile as he gave me the evil eye, I could tell
that we weren't going to get along. "Down boys, we don't need world war
three breaking out in here." I looked at Kevin and smiled, he was really
hot in person. I shook my head slightly, he was straight and he was
married. It had said so in some of my magazines, so was Brian for that
matter. So I shot down those two dreams without a second thought.

  I thought about it and decided that it was wise just to not think about
it. I now worked for them, it wasn't that much of a good idea to sleep with
the boss. It was really bad business and could lead to a lot of trouble. So
I crossed everyone in the band off my list and thought it best not to flirt
with them. I knew that it wasn't going to be easy since I loved to
flirt. It was a part of my nature, and I had never really been able not to
flirt. I would have to put some major work into it. Plus I didn't really
know their views on that subject all together. After I put a hat and sun
glasses on I was taken to a seat beside the stage. From there I watched the
concert, it was really good, but in truth I wasn't impressed by the whole
show. I liked their music, and their dances but I had seen other concerts
that I had liked more. If they asked I would tell them the truth, well as
much as they could handle. Toward the end of the show I decided that I had
enough and went back to the dressing room. There I found the little man,
and that's how I looked at him, and he looked up at me and smiled. "You
know something, I think I know a little more about fashion than you do or
ever will." He hit my sore spot without even trying, and no one was around
to save his little ass this time. I made sure by looking back outside of
the dressing room.

  I turned around and looked at him closely, he looked like troll. "You may
know more about fashion than I do, but you'll never look like me. Where you
know more, I look better so keep that in mind shortly. By the way, I know a
lot about fashion I've spent a good amount of my life making designs. I've
made my own clothes for last six years, and I'm only twenty. So when I
reach your age, heaven forbid, I think I'll more than likely know more than
you ever knew." I turned my heel and walked toward Nick's dressing room, I
had noticed his mouth had been hanging open. After entering Nick's room I
found my pants and looked at the damage. It wasn't anywhere as bad as I had
thought it would be. I found that I could repair them and reinforce them in
just a few hours. So far my shirt was doing wonderfully. I was still going
to spend a little time on it, it had to be perfect. When Nick entered the
room he looked like he was about to pass out, then he saw me and jumped
back. "You scared me, I guess we have a lot in common." He laughed and then
started changing in front of me. I looked away, no need to get hot and
bothered over this. After about five minutes I turned back around to see
him pulling his shirt over his head. "We're going to head to a club, you're
more than welcome to come with us." I shook my head, I had to pack and be
ready to leave in the morning.

  "It's nice of you to invite me, but I really need to pack. Where should I
meet you in the morning?" Nick looked a little worried then left the room
really quickly. I was a little confused, but that didn't matter. When Nick
came back into the room he had Kevin with him. "I think it would be best if
we picked you up in the morning since you're not going with us tonight." I
nodded slowly and went looking for a piece of paper and a pen. "Here I
always carry a note pad and pen." I thanked him and took the paper, then I
wrote down my address and apartment number. "What time do I need to be
ready, and how much of my stuff can I bring with me?" That seemed to
confuse both of them, then they looked at one another and shrugged. "Bring
whatever you want I'm sure we'll have the room for it. On the time try to
be ready by ten if you can, if you can't we'll help you pack." I nodded and
got ready to leave, after I shook their hands I started toward the back
stage exit. "Ash, would you mind wearing a hate and all that stuff on your
way out." I shook my head and put a hat and glasses on. I was in my car in
a short amount of time and on my way home. Once I got home I started
packing everything I could think of, it wasn't that hard. I didn't have all
that much, no TV, no radio, nothing like that.

  All I really had was a bed, clothing, and my stuff that I could use to
make clothing. It took close to four hours to get everything ready. It was
getting close to two in the morning, and I was worn out. I undressed and
got into bed, hoping that I would wake up in time to take a shower. My
alarm went off way to soon and I was pulling myself out of bed. I didn't
really bother to use my legs to walk to the bathroom, I just kinda dragged
myself there. I got in the shower and started waking up slowly, today was
going to be interesting. I still had a few miner details to take care of,
like quitting my job. That was going to be really hard to do, I liked my
job. I liked Jade more than my job, she was the coolest manger and closest
friend. I picked up the phone and dialed her home phone number, she
answered seconds later. "Someone had better be dead, or I'm really going to
be upset." I thought for a second, and decided to die. "Ms. Kipus, this is
Jewish hospital on main street, we have some bad news." The other side of
the phone went silent for about thirty seconds. "Ms. Kipus, are you there,
hello?" I heard a deep intake of breath then a quick release. "I'm here,
sorry it just I didn't really mean someone had better be dead, please tell
me no one died." I felt really guilty, her whole voice had changed, and she
seemed really upset.

  "Well, Ms. Kipus that's why we had to call you, do you know an Ash Lee?"
I heard the most heart wrenching sound come next. "Yes, he's a very good
friend of mine, what happened to him?" I could almost hear the tears
falling on the other side of the line. "Well, you see he called a friend
this morning, and she told him that someone had better be dead. So with
that being said he died instantly, really it's such a heart breaking
story." I couldn't help myself, I started laughing my ass off as the phone
line went dead. I knew what was coming and it would be here in less than
ten minutes to kick my ass. I looked outside and then to the clock, it was
two minutes till ten. I shrugged, there was no way they would be on
time. So I took my time looking for some clothes to put on. When the door
bell rang I went to answer it in the buff, I just thought it was Jade. She
had seen me run around my house and hers so many times it wasn't funny, and
she knew she couldn't touch. I opened the door to see Kevin standing before
me, not what I expected. "Did I catch you at a bad time, cause if I did I
could go sit on the bus?" He was blushing slightly, and to say that I was
speechless would have been an understatement. I took a few deep breaths and
moved away from the door opening it wider. "No come on in, not a bad time
at all, I'll be right back, just wait right there." I took off running to
my bed room.

  I grabbed a pair of shorts and jumped into them, then walked back out to
the living room. "Ash I'm going to kill you, do you understand that
Blondie, you're dead." Jade came storming into my apartment, she looked
highly pissed off. I ran to the bathroom and locked the door, and pressed
my body up against it. "It was only a small joke, come on it can't be that
bad. Besides it's your fault, and I didn't want to upset you, so I only
gave you what you wanted. After all you said, and I quote someone had
better be dead." That didn't stop Jade from trying to break down the
bathroom door, I don't think I had ever seen her so mad. "Get your Lilly
white ass out here you little prick, I'm going to rip your ball's off and
shove them down your throat." Then there was silence for a few seconds. "Oh
I didn't know you had company, hi I'm Jade, and you are?" I opened the door
slightly to see Jade flirting with Kevin slightly. "He's married Jade, so
that won't do you any good." She looked back at me and charged the door
knocking me on my ass. "Don't you ever play another joke like that on me
again, do you understand that. If you do so help me god I will fire you." I
smiled, ok this wasn't going as planned and what I had to tell her wasn't
going to help. "Well, that was the reason I called this morning, I'm
quitting." Her face dropped and she started laughing lightly, but when she
didn't see me laughing she got serious.

  She turned around and looked at Kevin, then moved toward him. "It's your
fault isn't it, you talked him into something didn't you." I was a little
surprised by her reaction, I had thought maybe a sad good bye, but not an
attack on one of my new bosses. Kevin was backing away, he looked
speechless, and a little frightened. Jade didn't look all that strong but
the woman could kick just about any guys ass I knew. She was tall and thin,
she had brown hair with deep red highlights. Then she had the weirdest
green eyes I had ever seen in my life. When she was upset it was like her
eyes started burning with a green fire. "I don't really know who you are
Ms, but I didn't talk him into anything, that was all Nick's idea." Jade
stopped in her tracks and smiled lightly, she was pulling her sweet
act. "So where is this Nick, I would love to have a nice little talk with
him." Just then Nick entered the apartment with the rest of the guys. Jade
looked at him and then back to me, then back to Nick. She rubbed her head
and started looking back and forth again. "Did someone say my name, or was
that just my imagination?" Jade's skin started getting pale, when she
started to fall I was under her in seconds. I caught her without a problem,
I just shook my head. I pulled her up closer to my body and patted her
cheek lightly.
