The past few days have been crazy. The New Kids cruise is so much crazier than the Backstreet Boys cruise, it's unreal. Nick said that he has so many different ideas for their cruise now. Friday we woke up and boarded a small boat that took us to a private island in the Bahamas where the guys had a concert on the beach for the fans.

That night, we had a Cowboys and Indians themed party, and honestly, I don't remember much from it. I know Nick and I woke up from being passed out in Donnie and Emmileigh's room. Apparently, according to Donnie and Jordan, I got up on a table and pretended to shoot fans with my waterguns since I was dressed as a cowgirl.

The next day, which was a day at sea, there was a game show, which Nick took part in and Emmileigh and I just chilled by the pool a lot and went to the casino on the ship, where I ended up winning $900. Emmileigh says I have good luck coming out of my ass, but I'm not so sure about that. I'm sure my luck will change eventually.

The fans have been relatively normal towards Nick. It's the other guys they are here for. Sure, some are Backstreet Boys fans, too, especially after they toured together, but they've been cool, a lot cooler than I expected.

Today, we docked in Key West and Nick took us out exploring for a little while, showing us things since he used to live near here.

Tonight's theme is Burlesque. I got Emmileigh's measurements and while we were in Charlotte, went and got us outfits for it and I can't wait for her to see it. More or less, I can't wait to see Donnie's reaction to it. I'm kind of skeptical of mine but that's because I'm self conscious in it with others around.

But being that tonight is the final night of the cruise, Donnie said to expect things to get crazy.

"We should get up there and sing something," Nick said as he and I stood off in the corner as the guys did some karaoke with fans. I looked at him, wearing an old NKOTB t-shirt and jean shorts as if he had grown a third head. Of course, he was wearing an old school Jordan t-shirt that he had bought offline and had it shipped to my parents overnight. "Let's do it."

"Nick, no," I laughed. "This is for them to sing. Let the fans sing."

"Come on, we're fans," Nick said as he walked over to talk to Joey who started laughing, nodding his head. I groaned as Nick walked back up to me with a grin on his face. "It's done."

"Good, I don't want to sing," I said as he shook his head as the fan on stage ended her song with Jordan and walked off the stage.

"We have a special guest that wants to sing!" Joey said, walking up and motioning for Nick to come out. Nick grabbed my hand and I tried my best to stay back, but he began pulling me. "Two of the biggest New Kids fans and apparently a Jordan fan," he said as the crowd started screaming. "Nick, how long have you been a New Kids on the Block fan?"

"Since I heard 'Please Don't Go Girl' when I was in like third grade," he said as I rolled my eyes.

"And this is Nick's girlfriend, Karsyn, who has very good taste in New Kids members since I'm her favorite," Joey said as I looked at him. "How long have you been a fan?"

"Since 'Didn't I Blow Your Mind'," I said as Joey looked impressed.

"And what are you singing for the crowd today? A Backstreet Boys song?" Joey asked as Nick shook his head and music started playing.

Summer loving had me a blast

I stared at Nick as he pointed at me.

Summer loving happened so fast

I hated this song. I was going to kill him.

I met a girl crazy for me

Met a boy cute as can be

Summer days drifting away
To, oh, oh, the summer nights

Suddenly the other guys walked up, singing the background parts of the other "Grease" characters. I looked over at Emmileigh on the side of the stage who was videoing it on her phone.

Well-a well-a well-a, huh
Tell me more, tell me more

Did you get very far?

I looked at Donnie who had a grin on his face and I tried to smack him.

Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car?

I looked at Joey and back at Nick as Nick started singing.

Was I really singing a song with the New Kids and a Backstreet Boy? If I had loved the song, it would have been a dream come true.

But I was horrified.
