Title: "Werewolves and Boybands and Tours, Oh My!"; part 1/?
Author: Joyful
Email: PrettyLilTeacup7@aol.com

Summary: Oz/other, slash. The idea came to me @ 3:30 Friday morning, and I
had to write it. It'll get better, don't worry. Btw, if you can't hear
about 'Nsync w/o throwing up, don't read this. Spoilers: up 'til the end of
the 4th season. Oz is in control, & Willow is w/ Tara. The Dingoes go
on tour!

Rating: G or PG for now. I'm not gonna say that you have to be 18 to read
this, because you don't. There is no sex in it, so have a ball!

Disclaimer: I don't know them, I'm just playing with them, I promise not to
hurt them...much. Buffy & Co. belong 2 Joss Whedon, the WB, and Mutant
Enemy. 'Nsync belongs 2 themselves, Jive, & whoever else. Danny and the
drummer are mine. Oh yeah, the song verse is mine. I am in no way inferring
that any member of 'Nsync are gay.

Notes: For Shala-Chan <glomp>, 'cause she's my beta girl, all credit's
her's for the name!

Feedback is a good invention! =)

"I'd say I love but that's not true,

 I Loved you last night, but today we're through"

       Devon's voice faded out as the Dingoes finished up their last song
of their audition. They got the nod from the judges and began to pack up
their equipment. When they were all packed up, one of the judges called
Devon and Oz over.

       "Well, you guys are nothing like we had planned, but we do like what
we hear. We still have to talk it over with some people and take a vote,
but how would you like to open for 'Nsync?"

       Devon and Oz looked at each other, Devon trying unsuccessfully to
keep a smirk off his face. "Well, I think we feel the same way, but we'd
love too." Devon said, trying not to make any smart remarks. Oz decided to
save Devon by speaking for once. "What he means is, we were pretty
surprised that the "big act" was you, because we don't really pay much
attention to the pop music scene, but a gig's a gig, and we might learn
some new stuff. We'd be honored." They all shook hands and went their
separate ways.

       "Oz, man," Devon spoke up, "I don't think I've heard you say that
much to a total stranger in your entire life, but I'm sure glad you did it
now." Oz blushed. "Dude, i don't do compliments, remember?"

"Oh, yeah, I forgot."

"Anyway, do you think we can all survive hanging around 'Nsync for two
months without totally destroying their pride?"

"God, I hope so. Wait, two months? Oz, man, are you absolutely sure you
have IT under control? Because I REALLY don't want to have to explain
missing boyband members."

"Dev, I'll be fine. Let's tell the others."

So they all left to go back to the hotel they were staying at while in LA.

"So, basically, we all agree that "Dingoes Ate My Baby" have the most
talent of all the groups, right?" J.C. and Chris had watched the auditions
from the back of the room, and the boys of Nsync were now discussing the
choices with their manager, and their producer Johnny Wright.

"I dunno," J.C. said, "They're so different from us, I mean, they're pretty
edgy."

"Yeah, but think about it," Chris said, "that'll appeal to a larger
audience."

"I guess," J.C. had been the only hold out, if he agreed, the Dingoes would
be their opening act. "Come on 'C, they'll do fine." "Ok, I guess they're
pretty cool."

"Great," Johnny said, "I'll go and call them now."

Johnny went out to make the arrangements.

Management had decided that the nine guys would be on one bus for "bonding
time." In other words, they wanted to know if four "normal" guys could
survive being woth 'Nsync without bloodshed. With nine guys, the bus was
pretty crowded, but they managed.

"So, where are you guys from?" Joey asked Oz, trying to break the ice
between the two groups. "Sunnydale, CA, ever hear of it?" "Hm, I
dunno. Don't think so." "Yeah, I have," Lance spoke up. "Isn't that the
place where the whole entire town got laryngitis last year?" Oz shot a
questioning look at Devon who answered for him. "Yeah, you were in Tibet."
Oz nodded, and it was Nsync's turn to look confused. "Tibet?" Lance
asked. "Uh, soul-searching." Oz answered. Suddenly the Danny, the bassist
decided to join the conversation. "Dudes, don't be surprised if Oz doesn't
talk a lot. I think he has a 20-words-a-day rule." Devon and the drummer
snickered, and Oz tried to argue.

"Hey, I talk!"

"Sure you do," Devon said,"I think I'm the only person in Sunnydale who's
heard you say more than 1,000 words in your life."

Oz had nothing to say to that. He knew of someone else, but the Dingoes
knew better than to speak her name. They liked having all limbs attached.

"Ok," Chris said,"I think we should all hit the sack, whatever bed you grab
is yours, except, of course, Justic and JC are in the back."

The drummer snickered.

Devon asked what they were all thinking."Are they a couple?"

"Kinda," Justin answered, blushing, "Is that a problem with you guys?"

They all shook their heads. "Just so everyone knows, Oz isn't the quietest
person in his sleep. It's funny, he never says a word all day, and then he
talks like a maniac at night." All the guys laughed at this, except Oz, he
just shrugged it off and got ready for bed.

Once everyone was settled into bed, Oz in the bunk below Lance, Oz laid
awake thinking. Most everyone was asleep, so Oz decided to concentrate on
the feeling he got. JC and Justin were hopelessly in love, Oz could smell
it, but he knew there was loneliness in the room. He concentrated on Chris,
no, not him. Joey slept around, Oz could smell at least three different
girls on him, the way Devon always smelled. Lance, Lance was scared and
lonely. Little did he know, Lance was doing a similar search.

Lance's empathetic skills had long ago earned him the nickname "Scoop" from
the 'Nsync guys, he always knew what others were feeling. Except with
Oz. <This guy must have incredible emotional control> thought Lance.
<They're so faint...but they're there. He's afraid. Oh my god, he's
fighting with himself, trying to supress something> Lance had no idea how
right he was.
