Now, without further ado, chapter 9.


Last time . . .

"Timberlake's residence." a teenage boy's voice said.

Justin sat speechless for a moment as tears came to his eyes.

"Johnny?"

"Who is this?" Jonathan said.

Justin quickly hung up the phone and fell on his bed with a tear and a
smile.


This time . . .


New Years Eve, 2007

"Well, Just, I must say. You look as handsome as you ever did." Josh said
as the tailors fixed up the new tux he had gotten.

Justin looked in the mirror and down the suit.

"Yeah, not too shabby. So, how much is this costing you?"

"With you and the other Justin?"

"Yeah."

"Oh, around $2,500." Josh said not even thinking about it.

Justin almost lost his temper for a moment then calmed down; slightly.

"2,500 dollars?"

Josh looked up and simply said,

"Yes."

Suddenly Justin started to stiffen up and began moving very carefully so as
not tear the suit. Josh watched with curiosity, as he saw Justin walking
around normally but still very carefully.

"What are you doin?" Josh asked as he stood up and walked next to him.

"Walking. Why?"

"It looks like your walking on glass."

"Don't be absurd!" Justin said frowning and looking in another
mirror. "It's just a tux."

Josh smiled and then looked at the small boy standing no more than 15 feet
away.

"So Justin, how do you like your new tux." Josh asked Little Justin, who
was squirming around in it.

"It itches really bad." He said as he scratched his shoulder and started to
scratch his legs, and so on.

"Oh, you'll just have to get used to it." Josh said with a smile.

"Do I have to keep this on? Cause it itches."

"No, the changing room is right over there."

Little Justin ran over to the little room and shut the door. Josh started
to look around and noticed a very handsome man standing at the door. His
eye moved over the man's body, admiring its perfection and its utter
beauty. After about a minute of staring, their eyes met.  They slowly
walked towards each other and kissed lightly.

"So, did ya find anything Lance?" Josh asked smiling.

"Nope, they weren't there." Lance said with a frown.

Josh thought for a moment, and then said, "Well, if they changed they will
tell me. Guess what we forgot^Å." Josh said looking Lance dead in the
eye.

"What? I don't remember . . . any . . . thing . . . Shit!"

Josh smiled and walked away from Lance and moved up to Joey and Chris.

"Well guys; see anything you like?"

Both nodded as they looked over the suits. Soon Beryl was standing next to
them.

"Pick what you want. I will be walking around."



Houston . . .


"What do you mean you couldn't find them?!" Damouse yelled at Cassandra.

She simply glared at him and said,

"We have their leader. He is out looking for them now. It will only be a
short matter of time."

Damouse walked up and smacked her right across the face making her fall out
of her chair.

"Bring them to me . . . Or you will only be a short matter of time."

Chaos sat in the back of the room quietly as he watched the scenario
unfold.

"DON'T threaten me Damouse! You sent us too late! The Chosen ones were
already there, and they couldn't find them either. Now I suggest you
discuss this with someone else . . . OR we'll all be a short matter of
time.

Her face turned from the normal human to the Vampire form and she walked
over to him and kicked him dead in the balls.

"And next time, it will be a stake through your heart." She said, and then
walked out of the room slamming the door.

As Damouse got up he laughed a little and sat down lightly rubbing his
balls.

"She would have been dead if it were me." Chaos said as he sat down in the
chair across from Damouse.

"Oh, she was just having a bad day, and you do know that she voted to keep
you in . . .  Along with myself of course."

Chaos simply stood from his chair as he watched the noon sun come trough
the dark tinted glass. He turned around and look at Damouse.

"Cassandra and I will be attending a party tonight. Ready a jet, and find
me a nice tux, and Cassandra a dress."


Foxglove Manor . . .


	Filling the huge ballroom were the high society people of the
United States, and the UN, along with some other people that Josh, and
Lance had come to greatly know.  Mostly from the government, but there were
some CEO's, VP's of record companies and so forth. The new Chairmen of
Microsoft, and the CEO's of Ford, Toyota, and Honda, were there as
well. Light Classical music filled the air, as women in elegant dresses and
gentlemen in designer tux's danced to the music. Off in corners and along
the walls were the conversations, and standing outside the door watching,
was Justin. He had snuck out of the tux shop, and paid for the tux
himself. He didn't want the guys to see him, he didn't know why, but he
started to get angry.

"What if someone recognizes me?" He thought to himself.

Finally he got up the courage to walk into the ballroom and found Joey and
Beryl arguing.

"Gentlemen . . ." Justin said getting their attention.

They both looked up with a frown then slowly looked over his body covered
by the tux.

"Hi . . ." Joey said.

Beryl simply sat quietly staring.

"Is something wrong?" Justin asked as he quickly started to look over his
tux.

"Justin?" Joey asked still checking him over.

"What Joe?" Justin said getting a little worried.

"When did you get so damn hot?"


"We don't have to worry about the Russian Civil war. It's not going to
effect the UN in any way." Herman Gainway, Chairmen of Microsoft said.

"I agree with Herman. We knew this war was coming five years ago." Lindsey
Stone said.

Josh sat and listened to the conversation that was going on.

"Well, personally I think that the war in Russia is as great of a threat to
the UN as any war is. UN troops have already been sent to Mongolia, and
Moscow to make sure that their Central Government doesn't fall, and when
the other Russians see UN soldiers, they are going to react. So, I would be
a little worried. Then again what do I know?" Josh said as he saw the
confusion being cast upon him.

"No, please, Mr. Chasez, continue." Mrs. Stone said.

Josh smiled and continued.

"I believe the UN has sent troops in so that Russia will rejoin the
UN. Giving the United States, and Great Britain, control over all of Europe
and Asia."

"Can anyone remember when the UN just used to send letters to people?"
Mr. Gainway said.

Everyone laughed, but they all knew that the UN had started to take over
the world with diplomacy. Mainly focusing on getting all of Europe and
Asia, as a united power. With all the resources, and technology standing
together, eventually, anything would be possible.

"Yes, I do . . . I think . . ." Josh said.

Lance was shaking hands, and greeting people at the door. It was an open
invite, so everyone was allowed to show up. But to Lance's surprise he saw
someone he hadn't seen in a very long time. Nick Carter was making his way
up the sidewalk to the front door.

"Well, ain't you a sight to see." Lance said making his way down to greet
him.

"Well, I figured that, seeing as the most handsome man on the face of the
planet was throwing a New Year's party, I figured I would show up." Nick
said starting the flirting early.

"Josh is handsome isn't he?" Lance said laughing.

"I wasn't talking about him you ass!" Nick said laughing as they started to
walk up to the house.

Nick had changed a lot over the years. His hair was thinner, and had small
traces of white, but he still had his good looks.

"So, what have you been up to lately?" Lance asked as the entered the
lobby.

"Nothing . . . No actually I have my own art studio in Houston. It's not
much, but I'm happy . . . So, you guys still doing the you know?"

Lance almost felt his heart drop, was he talking about the slaying or
something else?

"No, what are you talking about?" Lance asked.

"Singing!" Nick said laughing.

"Only in the shower it seems lately."

	Just then the doorbell rang and Lance made his way over to the door
and opened it. Standing arm in arm were two people. One a beautiful blond,
and next to her a huge man, standing at about 6'10 and weighing in at about
310lbs. Of course Lance was not phased by the size, cause he THOUGHT he was
stronger, and didn't have to worry.

"Yes?" Lance asked.

"Yes! I'm Patricia Manchester, and this is my Husband, Mike."

Lance thought for a moment, the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't
place it.

"Manchester?"

"Of Manchester Music."

"OH! Yes please come in." Lance said as he stepped out of the way. As they
entered he thought of Josh and said, "We have company."

"I know we have company Lance, they're all in the ballroom babe." Josh's
voice rang out in Lance's head.

"Not THAT kind of company. These ones have yellow eyes and fangs." Lance
said almost chipper.

"OH! Where?"

"Oh, trust me you won't miss them . . ."

"Guy who is 7 foot something, with a woman who makes your skin start
crawling for some reason?"

"That would be them."

"Don't worry, they shouldn't try anything until everyone leaves
. . . hopefully. But in the mean time tell all the guys." Josh said.

Lance nodded and then looked at Nick.
