It’s quite early in the morning; Jo and Jon are on their way home from the nightclub they’ve been together with the S Clubbers the night before. Jo’s quite drunk after a Tequila race with Hannah, and Jon’s trying to get her home before Rachel wakes up.

“Jo, you can’t fall a sleep now, we have to get you into Rachel’s room before she finds out that we are so late” Jon took a better grip around Jo’s waist and dragged her with him. “I’m not sleeping, I’m just relaxing” Jo said, recovering from the too much Tequilas she’d drank. “If I knew this would happen Jo, I’d never would have given you the permission to speed drink Tequilas with Hannah, you know how much alcohol she can take before she gets as drunk as you are now”. Reaching the hotel Jon struggled to keep Jo on her feet.

“Shh Jo, you don’t have to wake the whole hotel yet, it’s only 4:30 in the morning” On their way trough the hallway with the S Club rooms Jo starts singing and loud talking. ”I’m not waking the hotel Jon, and please let go of me, I can perfectly walk on my own”. Jon let her go and Jo fell over. “See Jo, you can’t walk on your own, but I’m tired of dragging you around, here’s my room. You can stay there until we’re going down to have breakfast”. Jon found the key to his room and lifted Jo in her arms and got her in to his room.

“Take off your dress Jo, and here’s a t-shirt you can borrow” Reached the t-shirt to Jo; Jon stared at Jo as she was slowly trying to open the zipper on her dress. “Well if I could get some help I might get off my dress a little bit faster”, Jon a little shaky pulled Jo’s hair back and opened her zipper. “Thanks very much” Jo dropped the dress on the floor and where standing in front of Jon in her bare underwear. Jon gasped, he’d never seen Jo in her underwear before, and now his heard where beating real fast. “What is it Jon? You look like you’ve seen a ghost” Jo took off her bra and went into Jon’s bed. “Oh it’s nothing, let’s go to sleep, it’s only three hours until breakfast”.

As Jo felt a sleep Jon where laying beside her in the bed and watched her. “I’d never know that my feelings for Jo where this strong. I’d better not tell anyone, especially not her about this” As he was thinking about this, the hours were there and it was time to hit breakfast. Jo who’s forgotten to put Jon’s t-shirt on woke up and where slightly unknown of the episode some hours ago. “Gee Jon, why I’m I here in your bed with nothing, OK barley nothing on, and where’s Rachel?” “ Rachel’s in your room, you where so drunk last night after your little Tequila competition with Hannah, so I had to drag you with me somewhere, and It’s not fault that you’re almost naked, I actually reached you a t-shirt, but you didn’t put it on”. Jon took the t-shirt from the floor and handed it to Jo.

“Good morning guys” Jo and Jon got down to breakfast and met some surprised faces as they arrived. “Where have you been Jo, and why on earth are you wearing Jon’s clothes?” Rachel where a bit relived when she saw Jo had returned from the nightclub safe. “I have spend the night in Jon’s room, apparently because I was too drunk to come to my own room last night. Nothing more than that” Jo sat down beside Rachel; she gave Jon a quick look before he sat down on the opposite end of the table. “Someone had to get you home Jo, the others went home earlier that you and me, and Hannah who won the competition went home with Paul an half an hour before us” Jon grabbed for a slice of bread and a glass of juice as he was thinking about what he had felt for Jo as he was laying in the bed beside her.

“Hannah where a bit drunk to, but she’s staying in my room anyway so I didn’t actually have to drag a girl into my room last night Jon” Paul sat at the end of the table with THE biggest hamburger and blinked at Jon. “ I didn’t drag a girl in to my room Paul, it was Jo, shes a friend and I had to get her home. Right Jo, we’re just friends?” Jon felt his face started to turn red and he had to anything to get the focus from him and over to Jo.

“Sure we’re friends. And I’m really grateful for you dragging me home with you, I mean, if you didn’t then who would? A crazy man from Timbuktu?” Jo sat the friendly look on Jon and he felt his heart beating again. “Excuse me I really have to go to the bathroom” Jon got his feet moving and went out in front of the toilets. The toilets where behind a huge wall so no one who stood in the reception of the hotel could see him. “ I hope no one noticed my red face, Jon where trying to get the red colour on his face down before he dared to go back to the others.

“Jon where quite blushed as he left” Tina who had just observed the whole happening finally got Jo thinking. “I’ll better go and look for him” Jo putted her napkin down and went to find Jon. Before Jo got out from the hotel café Rachel shouted “Jo let me go, I have eaten and I think you better get some more food in your body before we’re off to the studio”. Jo got back on her chair and made herself a new sandwich.

“Jon! Why are you here” Rachel found Jon standing in the toilet hall. “I have been to the toilet, you don’t need to worry”. Trying to smile and pretend as nothing Jon knew that Rachel always found out that he was lying. “Now you’re bluffing Jon, I know there where something else, you don’t usually rush out from something. Now tell me, what really happened last night, I promise I won’t tell anyone” Rachel laid her hand on Jon shoulder and smiled friendly to him. “Okay I’ll tell you, but I have to kill you if someone finds out. I think I have feelings for Jo. I mean I’ve always liked her, we’re like brother and sister, but I think there’s something more. Something is happening to me, every time I see Jo my heart makes an extra jump and it has been like that the last three weeks. Last night I thought is was best to keep her in my room so you wouldn’t wake. When I stood outside my door and carried Jo inside I felt that it wasn’t Jo that I had in my arms. But a beautiful young woman that I wanted to spend my whole life with. And my good Jo is beautiful.” Jon stopped and met Rachel’s smiling face. “Go on Jon, I know you ain’t finish to tell me the story.”

“Okay, when we came in to my room I had to help Jo with her zipper on the dress she wore. She where standing infront of me in her underwear and my heart beat as fast I thought it would bump out of my chest. When she fell a sleep in my bed, I just wanted to hold her in my arms”. Jon gave Rachel a hug and cried. “What I’m I gonna do Rach?” “Tell her Jon, tell her, I know it’s not easy but it’s better to tell her what you told me now. Then you don’t have to keep this to yourself”. Rachel wiped away Jon’s tears and gave him a kiss on the check. “Well, you can’t tell her now, ‘cos we’re al ready late for the studio”. Rachel went to the cafè again and got the others to get on moving.

Well back in the studios S Club recording studio, Bradley standing in the recording room singing “Alive” and the others sitting in a sofa, making bunny faces to him. Jo felt that there where something wrong with Jon, and she took his arm and dragged him outside in the dance studio.

”What is it Jon, you’ve been rare and silent since you came back from the toilet. Did I call you stupid names or anything last night when I was drunk? I promise to never get drunk like that again.” Jo sat down on the floor and looked up at Jon. “No it’s not that Jo, it’s something else, and I’ll bet you’re going to hate me for telling it to you”. “No I won’t, sit down Jon and tell me, I’ll promise not to hate you OK?.” Jon sat down beside Jo and told her what he’d told Rachel. “Oh God! I don’t know what to say Jon.” Jo took his hands and hold them thigh. “Look at me Jon”. Jon moved his face towards Jo; he moved his eyes so he could see deep into Jo’s deep blue eyes, started talking. “Do you hate me now Jo? You can tell me if you do, but I had to get this of my chest” he now started back on the floor. “No I don’t hate you Johnny Boy, who else know about this?” Jo felt a grief of relief, she’d also had feelings for Jon, but now she really felt it, Jon where the right one, just hearing he admit it Jo just smiled.

“Jon, Who else know about this?” Jon hardly manage to say the name, he felt completely ashamed when he looked at Jo. “Ra…….” Before he even got to say the name Jo kissed him. They kissed for a long time, lying on the floor just kissing and laughing. “Why are you doing this Jo?” Jon asked her “ I think I’ve finally found my prince charming, Jon I’ve had feelings for you since the day I met you, they slowly moved away, but after you admitting your feelings I finally got the hang of my feelings. I love you Jon” She dragged Jon down again by his shirt and kissed him again. “ I love you to Jo, you are the most beautiful girl I know, you are the one I wanna share my dreams with, my bed with. I want to hold you tight in my arms and kiss you whenever I want to.

“Oh aren’t they sweet!” Hannah, Tina, Bradley, Paul and Rachel had watched them for a while without Jo and Jon seeing them. “Now we have another S Club couple” Hannah said and kissed Paul. Bradley grabbed Rachel and Tina and said, “Well I have to ladies”. “Oh shut up Brad” Rachel blinked to Jo. Jo and Jon got up from the floor and the 7 where standing tall.
