                     Chapter 1: Starting Out

     "Come on Mat! We're gonna miss our train!" Matthew Dougherty grabbed
his suitcase out of the trunk of his Mom's Dodge Dakota, gave her a peck on
the cheek and ran after his twin sister, Jenna, calling out over his
shoulder,
     "Bye Mom!" As he raced through the train station he couldn't help
laughing, this was the first day of summer and he was going to spend it in
Los Angeles! Puffing, he caught up with Jenna just as she smiled brightly
at the conductor and climbed aboard. Mat loved trains, actually he loved
anything involving traveling. Anything that took him from one place to
another was fantastic. Matthew was a tall boy at 6' even and with his
flawless greek skin and piercing brown eyes he constantly had females
flinging themselves at him. But he had one flaw as far as those girls were
concerned: he was gay.  As Mat sat himself next to Jenna his mind drifted
back to last year when he had admitted it to his mom and she had just said,
"Be careful, hun. I have told your sister this and I'm telling you. I trust
you not to do anything stupid. Don't betray that trust." He had hugged her
tightly and promised that he would be careful.
     "Mat! Stop spacing out." Jenna said snapping her fingers in front of
his eyes. He looked into eyes that were identical to his and grinned,
      "Will you chill out? We just barely started. We have a couple of
hours before we're there."  Jenna just laughed at him,
     "Oh yeah right. Like you're less excited than I am, your probably more
excited."  Mat laughed, "I know, I know. But if I think of where we are
going I'm going to be running up down this train, completely unable to sit
still, so I figure I will pretend that we are on our way to visit Brad."
Jenna grimaced, and Mat silently cursed himself; their cousin Brad had
managed to hit on both of them the last time they had stayed at his house
about a month ago. He had practically raped Jenna, but Mat had heard her
screaming and had practically killed Brad.
	"I'd rather not imagine that thank you. If I never see him again it
will be to soon." Jenna said softly looking out the window. Mat looked at
her in concern, he knew that she was weary about guys almost to the point
of paranoia since Brad had attacked her.
     "Jen...are you--" Jenna cut him off, "I'm fine Mat."She let the edge
go out of her voice and smiled at him, "Really Mat, I'm okay. Don't worry."
Mat laughed softly,
     "I'm your big brother, how can I not worry."  Jenna glared, "You are a
minute and a half older than me, you really don't deserve to be called a
big brother."
     Mat grinned, "Maybe I'm talking about height. There I am definitely
your big brother."  Jenna smacked him lightly, she was a petite girl at
5'3" but with the same long black hair and flawless skin as her
brother. But she had a temper that amazed her family, compared with Mat who
was calmness incarnate most of the time. She had only seen him lose his
temper once, and that had been when he had found Brad trying to rape
her. Jenna sighed deeply and looked out the window as her brother pulled
out his cd player. She heard the Backstreet Boys blaring from the
headphones and laid back trying to fall asleep.
	Mat watched his sister as she fell deeply asleep. He wished that
she could find a guy that made her totally fall head over heals in love
with him, but because of Brad he wondered if she would ever be able to
trust enough to love. Looking at the cover of the cd he stared at
Brian. 'Does he ever wonder if he will ever find love?' Mat thought, Brian
Littrell was his idol, and his favorite sexual fantasy. He sighed and felt
doubt and depression settle over him as he thought about his life. 'Just
forget about it Mat. You will someday find the perfect guy for you, and it
won't be Brian Littrell. You have to deal with that. He is straight.' He
sighed again and whispered, "But damn I wish that he was gay." Closing his
eyes he quickly fell asleep, dreaming about what he would see in LA. The
land where nobodies can become somebodies in minutes, and dreams can come
true if you believe in them hard enough.

                    Chapter 2: Getting There
                                
     When Mat woke it was to Jenna shaking him furiously. "Mat! Wake up
right now!  We're there."
     Mat opened sleepy eyes and immediately began putting away his
stuff. Jenna looked at him and he looked up from putting away his cd's.
    "What is it Jenna?" he asked in confusion at the look of disgust on her
face.
	"Just you!" She cried gesturing back at him as he followed her off
the train. "I mean how can you possibly be my brother?! You wake up and are
immediately awake, and not a hair out of place! While I look like I crawled
out of a rat bag!" she huffed at him then turned away from intent on
ignoring him it seemed.
     Mat looked his sister over, her hair was still in the ponytail that
she had put it in that morning, her clothes weren't half as rumpled as his
and she obviously felt more energetic than he did if her mood was any
clue. He sighed, he would never understand her. That was one reason why he
really wondered how you could have a relationship with a woman, they were
so totally different from guys. He was closer to his twin than anyone else
in the world but he still never understood her. Females just think
differently. He suddenly realized that he was standing in the middle of the
train station looking at his sister with an incredibly confused look on his
face.
	"God, I am so stupid sometimes." he muttered.
     "I'll agree with that." Jenna said grinning at him, "Oh!! There they
are! UNCLE DOUG!!" Jenna shouted as she spotted their aunt and uncle
looking around the train station anxiously.
     "Jen! Mat! It is so good to see you two!" Their uncle picked Jenna up
and swung her around, as Mat caught up with his sister and hugged his aunt.
     "Uncle Doug I thought that you had to work today." Mat said hugging
his uncle tightly.
     "And miss meeting my favorite niece and nephew at the station? Never!"
Their tall, balding uncle cried in a rich deep voice that divulged his
acting past. Mat and Jenna grinned at each other and Jenna turned on their
aunt.
     "Aunt Cathy, weren't you supposed to do camera work on that new show
today??" Their petite aunt grinned mischievously,
     "And let Doug take you two to my favorite Chinese restaurant for lunch
without me?  Never!"  They all laughed and their Uncle quickly relieved
Jenna of her suitcase despite her protests while their aunt swiftly
directed them all to the exit.
     "So Jenna..any new boyfriends?" Uncle Doug asked as they piled the
suitcases in the trunk of the car. Jenna grimaced, they had agreed not to
tell anyone in the family what Brad had tried to do to her, but Mat had a
feeling that by the end of this trip his aunt and uncle would know the
truth.
     They would want to know why Jenna always locked her door at night
now. He had to admit, since the night that Mat had woken up to find his
cousin holding him down and trying to tie him up, he hadn't slept very well
either.
     Jenna forced a laugh and said easily, "Not this month Uncle Doug."
They were soon out of the train station's parking lot and cruising toward
downtown LA,
     "What about you Mat? Any boyfriends?" Mat also grimaced, he couldn't
admit to really trying to meet anyone either since Brad,
     "No, not really Uncle Doug. All of the good ones are taken." Mat
smiled at his uncle through the rearview mirror.
     "So where is this restaurant, and are we likely to see any celebrities
there?" Jenna asked changing the subject. Mat quickly sent her a grateful
look.
     Their Uncle chuckled, "It is in downtown LA and yes it is likely that
there will be some celebrities there , if fact we are meeting a music group
that appeared on Hard Copy today, they agreed to meet with the director for
lunch when I mentioned that I knew some fans of theirs."  Jenna and Mat
stared at their uncle in horror.
	"Who????" Jenna asked excitedly.  "Ah ah. I'm not telling." Uncle
Doug grinned at them. Jenna and Mat both grabbed for their backpacks and
frantically dug through them. Their Aunt and Uncle watched in bemusement as
their niece and nephew started to frantically comb their hair. Jenna
started to reapply lipstick as Mat wished desperately for the hair gel that
was in his suitcase.
     Finally they both sat back. "Are you two crazy? They are just regular
people." Their Uncle said as he negotiated through the busy streets of LA.
     "We know Uncle Doug, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't look our
best. Actually we would have done that on the train before we saw you guys
but we slept most of the way here and didn't get the chance to primp. We
hate to be seen at less than our best, we're almost fanatical about it."
Jenna said and Mat nodded his agreement.
     "Please tell us who we are gonna meet, Uncle Doug. We will love you
forever if you do." Mat pleaded. Uncle Doug chuckled,
     "I'm your uncle you have to love me forever, its in my contract." Mat
sighed and sat back in disgust, "Dang. Will you tell us if we guess right?"
He asked perking up.
     "Nope. We're there." Uncle Doug said as he parked the car. Mat got out
feeling like once he stepped in that restaurant he would never be the same.
     Jenna looked over at him "Do you feel the same way I do about this
that I do?" She asked as they walked to the entrance that was surrounded by
prepubescent girls. He nodded but stayed silent.
     They quickly followed their aunt and uncle inside and watched while
Uncle Doug conversed briefly with the head waiter. He nodded at the rest of
them and motioned for them to follow him.
     As they followed the waiter Mat felt his stomach tense up and the
feeling of being lead towards his fate strengthened. When the waiter
stopped and he felt Jenna tense beside him looked at the people they were
going to dine with. And his eyes locked with a pair of deep blue eyes that
seemed to look right to his soul.
     "Mat, Jenna....I'd like you to meet the Backstreet Boys."

Now the dreaded words : To Be Continued.
     This is my first attempt at a story like this and almost any e-mail
would be appreciated. Sorry that this first part is so short and has no
sex. It would be rather difficult for them to have sex considering that
they just met. But anyway, comments, criticism and kudos are welcome at
skyfire12@netscape.net Flames will be ignored.
