Lance's Song~ 5
    Some time later, after Megan had finished playing outside, Tyler glanced
inside. The fans seemed to keep multiplying and multiplying.  Lance's hand
had to be tired by now... as well as his ears. If Tyler ever heard another
teenage girl scream "OH MY GOD!  YOUR LANCE!" or something similar, he'd
strangle her.  Not really, but still.  He was outside, and his ears were
ringing. It had gotten to the point where Megan was complaining, and normally
she never wanted to leave Mc Donald's play stucture.
    "Daddy, how come Lance isn't playing with us?" Megan asked, sitting on
top of the slide.  Tyler glanced inside and groaned.
    " Meggers, Lance has some things to do. If he could, I'm sure he would be
out here playing with us." Tyler answered. Megan nodded, then pouted.
    " Who are all those people?" She asked, pointing inside to Lance,
surrounded by the screaming fans.  Tyler wondered how to explain Lance and N
Sync to Megan, but luckily Megan took matters in her own hand.
    " I want!" She screeched, gesturing inside to Lance. "I want him to play!"
    " Why don't we go ask him?" Tyler suggested, knowing Lance wouldn't turn
Megan down, and it would get him away from the screaming girls.
    "Please!" Megan said. Tyler nodded, and quietly led Megan inside.  The
crowd's were still there, inching forward with their papers and pens clutched
in their tight grasp.  Megan glanced around, and seeing everyone crowd around
Lance, made her a bit upset.
    "Lance!" She screeched. He glanced at her, but didn't stop signing
autographs.  "Lance!" She screamed again.  Tyler just chuckled and walked
towards their table.  The crowds weren't about to let them cut, and it took
several harsh words from Tyler as well as an explaination from Lance that
these two were his friends to let the crowd part.  Megan eventually reached
Lance, and being Megan, began to smile.  She walked to Lance and began to hug
his legs.  He chuckled and picked her up.
    " Hey there Meggers. Whatcha doing?" He asked. She just sat there and
hugged him.
    " Meggers, glad to see Lance are you?" Tyler asked. She nodded then began
to close her eyes.  She was worn out, and before either of them could predict
what would happen, she was asleep in Lance's arms. Tyler was amazed. Megan
didn't normally trust people instantaniously, but obviously Lance was
different.
    " She's so cute!" one of the many fans said.
    " Thanks." Tyler responded, gazing at Megan and Lance. They looked so
happy.  Slowly his heart began to soften, and without even realizing it, he
fell in love.  Lance was everything he ever wanted... a sweet guy that was
fun to be around, who loved kids, and accepted Tyler and Megan.  His gaze
went softer, and slowly he came out of his trance.
    " Maybe you should take her home." Another fan suggested, and Lance
nodded.
    " Megan is a bit tired." He said. Some fans nodded, while others looked
upset.
    " Is she your daughter?" a girl with brown hair towards the back of the
crowd asked. Lance chuckled a bit.
    " I wish. She's wonderful, but only a friends god daughter." He replied.
    " Yeah... she is wonderful." the same girl said. "She looks so happy
right now."
    " She is. She's dreaming about Winnie the Pooh probably." Tyler replied.
He couldn't believe that all the girls had stopped screaming. They were
almost completely silent, letting Megan sleep.
    " Do you guys mind if I take her back to Tyler's house?" Lance asked the
crowd. Most of them shook their heads, and a couple took the initiative and
said "get out of here." but still some were upset. They had come down here,
hoping to meet Lance, but now he was leaving.  Tyler saw that some were
upset, and quickly assessing the situation, looked at Lance. He almost seemed
to read Tyler's thoughts and, agreeing, stood up still carrying Megan.
    " I know some of you are upset that you didn't get an autograph, but
Megan really needs to get to bed. I'm really sorry." He said, looking
genuinely sad.  They just stood there. Eventually the crowd parted and Lance
walked through.  He looked so cute, carrying Megan and grinning. Tyler
followed and the three of them left Mc Donalds. That was the first time Lance
had been able to get out of a crowd of fans so easily, without some crying or
screaming.  He was amazed, but looking down at Megan knew it was her magic
that had allowed them to leave.
    "Thank you Meggers." He whispered.  She just continued to sleep, happy in
her own dream land.

    "Nice apartment." Lance commented, walking in with Megan still in his
arms. He had held her the entire car ride and was now ready to place her
gently in her little bed.  His arms ached, but he refused to mention that to
Tyler. If he did, Tyler would insist of carrying Megan to her bed, and he
wanted to.  As silly as it sounded, he wanted to be the one to hold Megan.
Lance had fallen under her spell in less then a day.  But more importantly,
Megan had fallen under his.
    " Thanks." Tyler responded.  "Come on, I'll show you Megan's room. I'm
sure your arms are tired."
    " How'd you know?" Lance asked, following Tyler down a hall and into the
pink bed room that was Megans.  After Tyler folded down her quilt, Lance
leaned forward and placed her gently down.  He smiled softly as he saw Megan
roll over and hug one of her care bears.  Lance adjusted the quilt so that it
covered Megan in case she got cold, and walked out, following Tyler.
    " I've carried her too." Tyler commented.  Lance chuckled.
    " Yeah, I sort of forgot that." He said.  Then Tyler chuckled.
    " Your good with kids." Tyler said. Lance looked at him, not sure what to
say.  Tyler seemed to sense this and continued. " I mean, look at Megan.
Normally it takes her a week or two to trust new people, but the second she
met you she latched on."  Lance looked at him once again, amazed.
    " Really?" He questioned, not really believing him. How could Megan be
considered shy?
    " Really." Tyler confirmed. Lance just stood there for a second,
analyzing what Tyler had said.
    " So..." Lance said, unsure of what to say now that the two of them were
alone.
    " So..." Tyler said at the same exact time. The two of them laughed a
bit. That little akward
moment appeared to have been enough for the two of them to break the ice, so
to speak.  Shortly afterwards they were talking like the best of friends.
    " How'd you get started in N Sync?" Tyler asked, interested.
    " It's a long story." Lance commented.  Tyler nodded.
    " You don't have to tell me if you don't want too." He added. Lance shook
his head.
    " I don't mind telling you, I was just saying it's a long story... you
might want to sit down or something."
    " How about we both get some sodas and sit down on the couch?" Tyler
commented.  Lance agreed.
    " What's your favorite kind of soda?" Lance asked as the two of them
headed towards the kitchen.
    " I'm a big Lemonade fan. Caffine doesn't seem to like me." Tyler
explained.
    " Ahhh. I like root bear." Lance added.
    " Well your in luck. That's Rach's favorite drink.  We have tons." Tyler
said, opening the fridge and grabbing a root bear for Lance.  Grinning
greatfully, Lance popped the top and took a long sip.  Tyler made do with a
snapple lemonade.  The two of them, now less thirsty, walked towards the
living room.
    " So, you really wanna hear the story?" Lance asked. Tyler just nodded.
Lance settled down on the couch and gestured for Tyler to sit also.
    " Thanks." Tyler whispered, sitting down on the opposite end, not
trusting himself to be that close to Lance... who knew what he might
accidently do.
    " So... How did I come to join N Sync..." Lance almost mumbled.  Then he
launched into the story.  He explained how Chris started the group and
invited Justin to join.  Justin had known JC from the Mickey Mouse Club...
    " No kidding? The two of them were on the MCC?" Tyler asked.  Lance
nodded. " Weird."
    " Why's that?" Lance asked.
    " Ohhhh. Long story." Tyler said. Then he frowned. That reminded him of
Matt... a completely different subject.
    " Wanna share?" Lance questioned.
    " Actually Lance, I'd rather not. It's sort of personal." Tyler
commented. Inside his head, he knew eventually he was going to have to tell
Lance about Matt... but now wasn't the time.
    " Okay." Lance said, being understanding. "Now where was I?" He continued
the story. "After JC joined the group, the three of them went clubbing..."
    " Hey, wait. I might not know that much about you guys but Justin isn't
old enough to go clubbing now!  How'd he go clubbing when he was younger?"
Tyler asked. Lance chuckled.
    " Do you have any idea how many reporters asked us that?" He questioned.
Tyler shook his head. " Well, take it from me. A lot of them!"
    " So how did he go clubbing?" Tyler questioned, not relenting.
    " If you must know, Chris sneaked JC and Justin in."
    " Why JC?" Tyler inquired.
    " He wasn't 21 yet either." Lance explained.
    " OHHHHH." Tyler said, getting it.
    " So anyways, the three of them went clubbing and ran into Joey.  Chris
had known Joey from some auditions and stuff.  The three of them asked Joey
to join the group, and he agreed." Lance said.
    " So that's how the four of them got together. What about you?" Tyler
asked.
    " Ahhh. I was living in Mississippi at the time.  Justin's vocal coach
used to live there, and be my vocal coach.  He asked her for a recomendation,
and she recommend me." Lance said. Tyler nodded. " Then my mom and me
traveled to Orlando, I auditioned, and they liked my voice. I was it."
    " Cool." Tyler said.
    " Yeah, cool." Lance said, grinning a bit.  Tyler looked at Lance for a
second. He looked so happy, thinking about the group.  Some where inside he
got the urge to kiss Lance, but he knew he shouldn't, couldn't even.
Still... Lance was looking at him with those green eyes...
    Without thinking of the consequenced, Tyler leaned forward. His lips were
approaching Lances, and seconds later they met. The kiss was simple.  Lance
didn't even pull away. They just kissed softly.  Ten seconds later Lance
pulled away. Looking at Tyler, he knew that he needed to leave. Without
saying a word, he stood up and left.  He didn't even look over his shoulder
at Tyler. He didn't see the multitude of tears forming. He didn't hear
Tyler's lips whsiper the word Lance. He didn't even see his coat lying on the
chair.
    Lance walked out, leaving Tyler sitting there.  When Tyler was finally
alone, the tears began to fall.
    " Why Lance?" He questioned before giving into the tears that were
streaming from his eyes.
