And So the Story Goes

Once upon a time, in a kingdom not so far away, there lived two beautiful little princesses. (Ask any Sunday School teacher about these two little princesses, and the phrase "devil's children" might come into play.) These two little princesses, like any other girls at the time, had a small crush on a boy band called "NKOTB." Posters on the wall, pillowcases to lie their pretty little heads on, T-shirts galore...and a concert. With some batting of the eyes and only a little bit of whining, the two princesses were able to convince their parents that a trip to the New Kids on the Block concert was just the thing.

Princess Jen and Princess Des(Pardon the picture quality...this was long before digital cameras.)

"You've got the right stuff, baby."

Fast forward 18 years...one little princess is happily married to her prince while the other little princess watches The Today Show every morning while she gets ready for work. It was a lovely summer morning in 2008. The sun was cresting the eastern mountains when suddenly the little princess (we'll just call her Jen) heard Matt Lauer say something about a big announcement. Princess Jen was intrigued hear what the big announcement was...NKOTB had been reuninted! Could it be? Were her eyes deceiving her? Could her past loves be back in her life? It was true! There they were dancing and singing just like the old days. Princess Jen knew what had to happen next.

The little princesses at it again.

They've still got the right stuff.

Hangin' tough after all of these years.

I'll definitely be loving you forever.

Same princesses (only much cuter now), same boy band (only older and wiser), same songs, same dance moves. Truly, it was a "Night to Remember, Part 2."

The princesses danced, the princesses sang, the princesses re-lived their childhood. And then, happily, the little princesses left the arena, went back to their homes, and lived happily ever after.

Thank you Jordan, Jonathan, Donnie (still hot!), Joey (even hotter!), and Danny for completing our fairy tale.

THE END.
