Dreams Come True

Chapter 1

“OH-MY-GOD!” Holly yelled.

“What??!!” I asked.

“OH-MY GOD!!” Holly repeated.

“WHAT??!!” I asked again.

“You’ll never guess what I just got!” Holly exclaimed.

“What?” I asked.

“I got letter from Dan!” Holly continued, “and he says that he’s going tocome up here over the summer.”

“No way!”

“What am I gonna do?” she asked me.

“Um, move!” I replied.

“Oh, I’ve gotta go. I’ll call ya back later. Bye.” Holly said.

“Bye.” I said hanging up the phone. I walked outside and climbed up on my trampoline. As I was jumping around,happy that we only hadtwo days of regences left, when my sister yelled out to me to pick up thephone.“Hello?” I said.

“Hello. This is Jenn. If I come and get you, will you come over?” sheasked.

“Yeah, why?” I asked.

“Well, you know about the letter that Holly got, right?” Jenn asked.

“Yeah.”

“Well, I’ll explain it to you in the car. Be ready. And bring some extraclothes.” Jenn said.

“K, see ya in a bit.” I said hanging up the phone. I went in the house and told Katrina that I was going to be leaving, but I’dcall mom later. I got all mystuff ready just in time. Jenn was in the car waiting.

“Where’s Holly?” I asked her.

“She’s at home. She doesn’t know that you’re coming. I thought that youshould come over because sheseemed really disturbed.” Jenn continued, “So then you know that Dan wants tocome up here?” Jenn asked.

“Yup. Well I’ll make Holly all better!” I replied. We arrived at their house with in a couple of minutes. I walked around backand found Holly swimmingin her swimming pool.

“Hey Holly!” I yelled over to her.

“Hey! What are you doing here?” she asked me.

“Jenn came over and got me. She said that you weren’t acting right.” Ireplied.

“Oh, well do you wanna come in?” Holly said splashing water towards me.

“Yeah, hold on.” I said running up her stairs. I got into my bathing suit and went back outside to the pool. Holly and Jennwere already in. I walkedup the stairs and jumped in. We swam around for a while trying to get a whirlpool. Then we tired doing tricksand had races. After we spent about 3 hours in there, we got out and laidout in the sun. We were only out ofthe pool for about 30 minutes when all-of-a-sudden Dryfess started barking.

“Dry, what’s wrong?” Holly yelled over to him, but he still keep barking andbarking.

“Um, excuse me. Is there a Melissa Potter or Holly Hobbie here?” someoneasked from the driveway. We allshot our heads up and looked over to where the voice came from. There stood atall black man.

“I’m Holly.” Holly said.

“and I’m Melissa.” I said standing up with Holly.

“Hello. Could you please come with me?” he said stepping aside.

“For what?” Jenn asked getting up.

“Is your name Jenn Hobbie?” he asked her.

“Yes it is, but who are you?” Jenn asked.

“Just please come with me. There’s something I need to show you.” he saidagain.

“Yeah right, I’m not going with this psycho!” Holly said.

“Well, he’s not bad looking!” I said jokingly.

“I will not hurt you. Just come with me. It’s very important.” He again said.

“Um, I’m sorry, but what ever plan you have for us, it’s not gonna work. Wearen’t going anywhere with you!”Jenn said.

“Yeah, you better watch out. We know Tae-bo!” I added showing my fists.

“Please. I’m here on a business meeting.” he said.

“Yeah, business for what, your pants?” I asked.

“Ok, I don’t blame you. Just wait right here.” he said walking away. We just stood there and watched him disappear around the corner.

“Should we run inside?” Jenn asked.

“I want to know what he has to show us!” Holly said.

“I’m with Holly, but if I get killed. I’m gonna haunt you!” I added.

Just then he came around the corner.“My business partners will be here in a minuet.” he said.

“Oh great! Now we’re going die! Thanks Holly!” I said hitting her. Just then we heard some voices and these guys walked around the corner.

“Whose that?” I asked Holly.

“And how am I suppost to know!?” she answered.

“This is Holly Hobbie, Melissa Potter, and Jenn Hobbie.” the man said pointing us out to the group of men.They stepped up to the sides of the man and then Holly gasped.

“What?” I asked.

“Oh-my-god!” Jenn replied.

“What guys! I can’t see. My contacts suck!” I freaked.

“Melissa, you don’t see who that is?” Jenn added. Holly was just standingthere with her mouth hanging on theground.

“No!” I said squinting.

“Melissa, it’s ‘N SYNC!” Holly mumbled.

“Yeah right.” I said. They started walking closer to us, then I could see,it was ‘N SYNC!

“Hello. We’re ‘N SYNC.” Lance said.

“Yeah, we know.” Jenn said with a laugh. I was busy watching them that Iforgot that I was standing there inmy bathing suit and shorts. I jumped behind Holly. Not like that helped.

“You guys are probably wondering why we are here, aren’t you.” Chris said.

“Oh yeah!” Jenn answered.

“Do you guys remember sending us a video tape of yourself dancing?” Justinasked us.

“Yeah, that was like about 6 months ago.” Holly said coming out of her daze.

“Well, we’re here to offer you a deal.” JC continued, “We need some dancersand we narrowed it down to youthree.”

“You’ve got to be kidding me!” I said.

“No, we’re not crunk, it’s for real. We got a contract in the limo.” Justin replied.

“Holly, their not kidding.” I whispered to her.

“I noticed that.” she replied.

“If we could discuss this inside, it would be alot easier.” the man saidstepping up with them.

“Sure, um.....follow me.” Jenn said leading the way. They followed Jenn around the house, while Holly and I ran up the backstairs. We got in her house andstarted screaming!

“This isn’t real!” Holly said joining me in the bathroom to fix our hair.

“It has to be!” I tried to sound convincing.

“Holly! Melissa!” Jenn said running though the house.

“We’re in here!” Holly yelled.

“They are waiting for you two.” Jenn said.

“Ok, I’ll be there in a second. Just let me get on a shirt.” I said walking into Holly’s room. I walked out to their living room where they all were sitting. Chris, Lance,Joey, JC, Justin and the man.I walked in and sat down on the floor next to Holly.

“Well, my name’s Johnny Wright, I’m their manager. And we’re here to purposeto you a contract. It is to dance with them while they’re on tour. This tour lasts from next week till the end of October. We know that you, Holly and Melissa, still have two years of school to complete, but we can get a tutor for that. I have all the paper work right here. I went over basically everything but the pay. You guys will be getting about 1/3 of what‘N SYNC gets at every concert, which is about 12,000 dollars. So it would be about 4,000 a piece. Do you have any questions?” Johnny asked us.

“Um,.............”Holly muttered.

“Yeah, this is the US tour only, right?” Jenn asked.

“Yup.” Johnny answered.

“We need to talk to our parents.” I said.

“Well, if you wouldn’t mind, could I talk to them for you?” Johnny continued,“Just so that you don’t get anything mixed up and I’ll be there to answer their questions.” he finished.

“I don’t care.” Jenn agreed.

“Well, when will they be here?” Johnny asked.

“My parents get home at around 5, 5:30.” Holly replied.

“Same here.” I added.

“Well, it’s now...” Johnny checked his watch, “..4:55. We can wait here till then, is that all right?” Paul asked.

“Yeah sure.” Holly said.

“Um, may I go to the bathroom?” Justin asked.

“Yeah, I’ll take you.” I said jumping up at the opportunity. I lead him through the living room and into the bathroom.

“I’ll be right out, can you wait for me please?” Justin asked.

“Sure.” I said. I sat down at the computer desk and waited. He came out, walked by Holly’s room and stopped.I looked at him and he was looking in her room. I forgot to shut her door,and he was gazing at all of herpictures and issues on Unadilla Express hanging on her walls.

“Whose room is this?” Justin asked pointing in Holly’s room.

“That’s Holly’s.” I said walking over to him.

“May I take a look?” He asked.

“Sure.” I said walking in first to pick up my clothes that were on her floor. He was look at all her posters on her door and then he started looking at the issues. My face was getting red, I could tell.

“Who wrote these?” Justin asked.

“I did.” I answered,

“Hey, if ya wanna see a room, come and see Jenn’s.” I said trying to get him away from the issues. I showed him Jenn’s room and then we headed back to the living room. As soon as I saw Holly, I started giggling. She gave me the ‘what’ look and I motioned her to come here. We went into the other room and I told her that Justin saw her room and the issues!

“Oh gosh!” She continued, “How can I go back in there?” She said smiling.

“How can you! How can I? He read some of the issues! He’s now thinking, ‘Oh boy, what have we gotten ourselves into? These girls are weird’!” I said.

Just then Jenn joined us.“What’s going on?” she asked. Holly told her what had happened and she just about died! We came to the conclusion that we wouldn’t let this effect us. We had to do this! So we sucked it up, and walked back into the room. Casually, we sat down.

“Would you guys like anything to drink?” Jenn asked.

“Nah.” They answered.

“Wanna go swimming?” Holly asked.

“Yeah, sounds like fun.” Lance said. We found some old shorts of Holly’s dad’s and let them wear them. We went out to the pool and took a little swim. We all were just relaxing when Chris interrupted the silence.“Hey guys, lets play a game or something.” he suggested.

“Sure, what?” Jenn asked.

“Marco Polo!” Justin added.

“Ok, not it!” Holly yelled.

“Not it!” I yelled.

“Not it!” Jenn yelled.

Lance and Joey caught on and said it next. Then JCand Chris said it, and Justin was ‘it’.

“Ha ha man! You’re it!” Chris mocked.

“Ok, 1......2......3...” and he ducked under water. We all swam away from himand then he popped up.

“Marco...” he yelled.“Polo” we all yelled.

“Marco....” he said walking towards Holly.

“POLO!” I yelled. He moved away from Holly and started heading over towardsme. I slowly climbed up on the side of the pool. He kept moving towards me and then he ran smack into the wall. Everyone started laughing. He opened up his eyes and saw me standing on the side of the pool.

“Hey, no fair!” He said grabbing my legs and pulling me in the water. When I emerged, everyone was laughing at me. (My face got so red.) Now it was my turn. I went underwater and counted to ten. Then I came up.

“Marco...” I yelled.

“polo...” they all whispered.

“I said MARCO!!” I yelled.

“polo....” they whispered even quieter.

“I can’t hear you!” I yelled. They all started laughing. I opened my eyes to find everyone out of the water watching me have a fit.

“Ha Ha Ha!” I yelled back at them. Then they all jumped in and I swear, now Holly has no water in her pool.We got out about 20 minuets later, after racing each other and stuff.

Chapter 2

Holly’s parents got home around 5:30 and I called my parents to come overalso. When my parents got there, Johnny sat down with them and explained everything. We all were outside fooling around at thevolleyball net. Then Johnny called us all in. We walked in the rooms, makingsure to make eye contact withour parents.

“Well, I’ll let them tell you.” Johnny said taking a seat.

“Now, Holly and Melissa, you two know that this will effect your school livesand maybe even some of yourfriendships. Are you two ok with this?” my mom asked.

“Oh yea!” we said simotameously.

“Are you girls sure that you want to do this?” Jackie asked us.

“Yes!” we all said.

“Well, we have no problems with it...” Jackie said.

“As long as you keep your grades up!” my mom interrupted.

“Yes!” We yelled.

“When are we leaving?” Holly asked.

“Tomorrow afternoon.” Johnny said, “We’ll pick you guys up at your house.”

Chapter 3

After about 20 minutes, I left with my parents. The limo followed us home tofind out where we lived.When I got home, I called everyone I knew and told them everything. Everyonedidn’t believe me, so my momhad to tell them it was the truth. (The Greps were so happy for us.)Sometime after 11, I tried to go to bed, but Icouldn’t. So I called Holly. She couldn’t sleep at all either. We stayed uptalking till about 2 in the morning.

Chapter 4

We were picked up at around 3 in the afternoon, and we were flown to New YorkCity. Then we went toa studio, were we got introduced to their choreographers. They were teachingus some of the dance moves andstuff. But of course, we already knew a lot of them. We were in the studio from around 7:00 till 1:00 am. After the exhaustingpractice, we all went to ourhotel and zonked out. We were woken up in the morning at 5:30. Wow talk about a wake-up call. Iknow we all wouldn’t mind waking up to the sound of five men singing a capella. After we all got dressed and stuff, we had to go to the local mall where theywould be signing autographsand announcing the new members on their team. The mall was packed full. And once the crowd got one glimpse of ‘N SYNC,they all started screaming.

“WOW!” Jenn said.

“Were we ever like this?” I asked.

“Melissa, you two are obsessed! What do you think?!” Holly replied with alaugh.

Johnny, stood on center stage with a mike.“Hello New York City!” He yelled with a reply from thousands of screaminggirls.“How are ya’ll this fine morning?” he continued, “We’ve got some news for you.See these three girls standingoff to my left? Well, we’ve got some new dancers. How does that sound?”The crowd roared with cheers. Girls were all yelling, “I love U Justin, orLance, or Joey, or JC, even someyelled Chris.”“Be sure to checkout our first concert with these gals, it’s going to be nextTuesday in Pennsylvania.” Johnnycontinued, “Now, lets get those John Hanncocks a going!”

We sat by the guys, not there to sign autographs, but to answer somequestions if they had any. Almostevery single girls who walked by us said something. They either said, “Goodluck, or I’m so jelous, or theyasked us questions about ‘N SYNC.” After the mall, we went back to the hotel to get changed into our workoutclothes. Then we went backover to the studio.

Chapter 5

When we got over at the studio, they had a fake stage set up, so we could getthe feel of it. We werepracticing one of the flips, I was flipping Holly, and Chris was flippingJenn, when, all-of-a-sudden, Jenn criedout in pain. We all ran over to where she was hurt and found out that shecouldn’t move her ankle. They gotthe doctor out there, and he examined it and came to conclude, that it wasseverely sprained.

“Oh-god!” Jenn cried.

“I’m so sorry!” Chris said for about his 17th time.

“I’m going to call mom.” Holly said grabbing my hand and leaving the roomwith me.

“Will this end our contract?” I asked Holly.

“I hope not!” she said dialing her parents. She got the answering machineand left the message. We walkedback in the studio and saw that they had Jenn on a stretcher and was going totake her to the hospital just tomake sure that it wasn’t broken.
