AUTHOR'S WARNING:

honestly going to close this if your under 18 anyway) :) Umm, i dont know
N'Sync, so don't base your hopes and dreams on this, its just a story!
Other then that, I think that is about it.  So here it is!  Enjoy!


Chapter 1:

It was a long ride from New York to central Pennsylvania.  What is there to
see in PA?  Besides trees and the occasional Amish, of course.  You see one
tree, you've seen them all, right?  So I guess that is what lead me to
Justin and my current debate.  Chris and Joey were still eating in the
front of the bus, and JC, well, he was sleeping, of course.  What else
would he do?  Which left me alone with Justin.  It's not that Justin and I
didn't get along, but, well.I guess we don't really get along.  Its just
his ego.  Its gotten so big lately.  It almost consumed the lounge that we
were sitting in.  So here we sat, watching endless trees cross the windows,
trying to allow the trip to go as smoothly as possible.

"No, no way.  Justin, a lot of people might think your hot, but there is no
one in the world who can just pick someone and have them in the sack," I
told Justin.

"You think so, Lance?  Any money says I can pick someone off the street and
have them in bed," Justin said confidently.  Well since he wanted to be
cocky, I thought it was time we made a little wager on it.

"You have yourself a bet.  I pick the person, and you have to get with
them."  I was sure there was no way he could master it.  I mean, sure,
Justin did have a certain appeal to him, but he was only human.  No human
could pick anyone, and have them.

"Fine, but they can't be ugly." Justin said, acting like his usual stuck up
self.

The rest of the trip went mostly without argument.  Like I said, its not
that we don't get along, we just disagree on a lot of stuff.  It wasn't
long before the familiar smell of chocolate loomed in the air.  Hershey,
PA.  They actually had a really nice amusement park.  We all looked forward
to revisiting the park, last year was a lot of fun.  It was supposed to be
our last stop on the tour.  When we stepped out of the bus into the private
arena area I immediately set to work on my task of finding a partner for
Justin.

My first question was obvious, male or female.  Just as I was beginning to
examine the possibilities, I felt a swift pain in my back.  As the weight
consumed me, I felt myself collapsing to the ground, along with whoever was
clinging to my sore shoulders.

"What the hell?"  I wondered outloud, rolling off the person I was now
laying on.  Of course it would have to have been Chris.  Who else would be
hyper off the smell of chocolate?  "You know Chris, one of these times your
going to catch someone in a bad mood, and your gonna get blasted," I
informed him, feeling embarrassed under the guy's laughter.

I obviously made a mistake.  "Oh really?  Are you threatening me dear
Lancen," Chris said in mock innocence.

I'm not intimidated by Chris, rather more afraid.  If I didn't answer
correctly, Chris would be sure to make today a living hell.  "No Chris, I
would never do that!"  I said in the same mockery of innocence that he did.
Maybe it wasn't the best choice, but it was all that came to mind at the
time being.

"So, what are we going to do today?"  JC asked, his eyes still bloodshot
from his recent nap.

"We really don't have anything all day until around 6, so we can explore
the city, I guess."  I told him, unsure of what there really was to do in
Hershey.

"Well, what time does the park open?"

"It opened at 10."

"Why don't we go into the park?"  Chris asked, joining the conversation.

"There are going to be a lot of people there, they will probably recognize
us," Joey said, being his usual stubborn self.

I was tired, besides the sun was really hot, and we were still standing in
the same area we were when Chris attacked me.  "I don't really care what we
do.  Personally, I think I'm going to go see the sites around the city."

"I'm with Lance.  Its too hot to go to the park now anyway."  Justin said,
suprising me.

Chris pouted, "Well, I'm going to the park.  Joey, you with me?"  He
flashed Joey a look I knew he wouldn't be able to refuse.

"Sure, I'll go with you, but if we get attacked, Lance will never let you
hear the end of this."  Joey was right.  I would definitely take that to my
advantage.

"JC, what about you," Justin asked with a duplicate smile to Joey's earlier
one, "You gonna hang with the cool kids, or with Joey and Chris."  He added
a disgusted look to accompany his disgusted tone with the two last names.

"Hey!  We are just as cool as you guys!  Look at Lance, how can you
consider him cool," Chris joked, although the jokes were starting to wear
thin with my patience.

"Actually guys, I agree with Justin, its too hot to be in the park now.
You guys have fun though!"  JC said knowing that Justin would be smiling
with satisfaction.  As Chris and Joey walked away, a dilemma entered my
mind.

Here we are, in a odd city, without any means of transportation.  I didn't
even know if they had taxis here.  "Umm, guys, what about a car?  We can't
walk everywhere!  Guess we will just have to go back to the park."  I
sighed, feeling defeated.

"Lance, you give up way to easily.  Its simple really, all we have to do is
find someone with a car.  Who wouldn't want to be seen with the guys of 'N
Sync in their car?"  Justin asked smugly.

"Ugh, your ego is nauseating," I informed Justin as we began the long
journey to the parking lot.  'JC seems awfully quite today,' I thought.  I
made a mental note to talk to him later about it.

"There, ask him!"  I suggested pointing at a hot blond hailed teenager.  He
looked to be in his late teens, probably 18, maybe 17 at the youngest, but
definitely no older than 20.

"Lance, you just want to get on his dick," Justin snickered before running
off towards the guy.

I turned to the overly silent JC to see him grinning, watching Justin run
towards the guy.  "Can you believe him?"  I asked JC.

He turned to me with the same smile on his face, "He was right though, you
do want that guy."  JC said, now laughing at my embarrassed face.

"No I don't!"  I lied, but of course, and JC saw through it.  He just gave
me his 'don't lie to me look.'  "OK, maybe he is cute, but its not like I
would just jump on some guy."  I said honestly this time.

"Guys!  Come on, Jordan said he will show us around!"  Justin yelled to us,
while throwing his arm around our new friend.

"Fucking flirt," I said under my breath as JC and I turned and walked
towards the waiting car.

"I know."  JC said, laughing.

"Shot Gun!"  JC yelled immediately once we were within earshot of the car.

"Hi, I'm Lance" I said, looking into the strangers bright blue eyes.

"Jordan, nice to meet you" Jordan said, extending his hand.  As I climbed
through the drivers side into the back seat, I looked up just in time to
see Jordan starting at my butt.

"I could have him."  Justin whispered to me once I got seated beside him.

"No way.  Maybe he likes someone else."  I whispered suggestively as Jordan
started the car and we began to leave HersheyPark.

"I'll prove it.  I'll fuck him AND whoever else you pick out for me,"
Justin said grinning slyly.  I gasped.  I didn't know whether it was
because he was going to sleep with someone I liked or because I now
realized that I did have a crush on him.  Either way, I had been lying to
myself.  I've seen Justin's seduction tactics, I knew if he wanted Jordan,
he could have him.

"What wrong, you look like you've seen a ghost," I heard Jordan comment.
When I looked up, I saw he was looking at me in the mirror.

"No, he just always looks like that.  It's the Albino thing."  Justin
joked.  I noticed a hint of a smile on both JC's and Jordan's face.

"Shut the fuck up Justin, why is everyone so hard on me today," I
questioned, well, more like yelled.

"Woah, calm down Lance, I was only kidding!"  Justin defended himself.

"Whatever."  I said, obviously perturbed.

	On way to the mall things were pretty quiet.  Justin and JC stared
hard out of the windows while Jordan throughout the trip.  Justin was
beginning to get edgy as we pulled into the mall parking lot.  He was
always overly excited to be shopping.  Jordan pulled smoothly into the
parking space and we all began to exit the car.

"Where are we?"  JC asked stupidly.

"Where in Harrisburg, at the mall," Jordan informed him while we walked
towards the large building.

"What good stores do they have in here?"  Justin asked while fidgeting with
anticipation.

"I don't know, it's the same as any other mall.  They have the same stores
as everywhere else."  Jordan replied.

We continued through the first part of the mall, JC and Jordan walking in
front as Justin and I followed.  I looked around, observing our group,
Justin checking out the stores, JC checking the people and Jordan, well,
Jordan wasn't really doing anything, he was just there.  "I could have
him," Justin informed me again in a whisper.

"Then get him."  I whispered back, not really caring at this point.  I knew
he was going to get him, so I might as well suppress my feelings for him.
It was no use getting upset over.

"I'm 'bout to have him in the back of his tight ass car," Justin whispered
before winking at me and grinning maliciously.

"Go ahead."  I said laughing, despite his cockiness.

Justin picked up his pace, butting his way in between JC and Jordan.  JC
slowed his walk to accompany me.  "He is going to hook up with him, you
know that don't you," JC asked with a concerned expression on his face.

"I know, its his choice.  Its not like he isn't with a different person
every night," I said with a mix of jealously and disgust.

"OK, but I thought if you told him that you have a crush on Jordan, that he
might lay off," JC said with the same concerned look.

"Its just a crush JC, its not like I will be hurt or anything."  I said,
and I was telling the truth, for the most part.  I didn't even know Jordan,
and there would be lots of other guys.  After all, I'm not ugly or nothing,
just a little too shy for my own good sometimes.  I could get guys too, I
just choose to do the relationship thing.  At least I try too.

"Lets go in this store," Justin yelled back, pointing in the general
direction of the shoe store, but not before slinging his arm around Jordan.
Jordan laughed nervously, but really didn't seem to mind.

"Yup, he is going to get him," JC said shaking his head while we walked
into the shoe store.  And I knew it too.
