This is a short story written by Kate. OMG and guess what it's not about me!!! LOL. I just thought it was good and decided to put it up here because she doesn't have a site to put it on. Enjoy!
"I want it that way!" we belted out as we were sitting in
my car in the
middle of the highway. Despite the fact that traffic was
moving at a slow
crawl, our moods were not going to be broken. We were
headed for the N
Sync concert at the Meadows and we were ecstatic to finally
see the guys
in person. "Am I your fire...your one...desire," I sang
loudly as I
tapped my fingers on the roof of my car.
"I want it that way!" screamed a high-pitched male voice.
Gracie, Liz,
and I looked at each other and laughed.
"Where the hell did that come from?" asked Liz and we
looked to our left
where a bus was moving along at our pace.
"Ain't nothin' but a heartache," we sang loudly, hoping to
get a response
out of the guy in the bus for amusement.
"Ain't nothin' but a mistake," the guy responded and we
finished the rest
of the song.
I turned up my radio, to the annoyance of Liz in the
backseat who was
forced to sit next to the speakers and we listened to some
Beastie Boys.
"Girls! All I really want is girls!" we sang to our song.
We heard a chorus of voices from inside the bus going "bom
bom bom bom-bom
bom bom bom," and then the high pitched guy sang louder.
"In the morning
its girls!"
We laughed hysterically and finished the song.
One guy poked his head out the window. "Hey girls!" he
waved at us.
My eyes widened as I recognized him. Hell, it was hard NOT
to recognize
him with those braids.
"Hey Chris!" I yelled back.
He grinned at ducked back in the bus for a second.
"Do you have any grey poupon?" he asked and we all laughed.
"No, but I have some Twizzlers if ya want."
He grinned. "You know what they say about girls with
Twizzlers."
I acted all innocent. "No, what?"
He just shook his braids and laughed. "You don't wanna
know!"
"Do y'all have any cool music up there?"
Chris nodded and ducked his head in back again. We heard a
little scream
and then Chris poked his head out the window again,
dripping wet.
"Poor baby, did you fall in the toilet?" I asked, grinning.
Liz punched
my arm in excitement.
Chris made a face. "The albino got me with his Super
Soaker. But Big
Daddy's gettin' him back so its all good!"
We laughed. "You look like a drowned rat!" I yelled as the
cars slowed to
"Crap," said Liz. "We're gonna be late for the concert.
"You dufus, if we're late, they're gonna be late too!" I
said and pointed
at the bus.
"Oh yeah," she said and blushed.
All of a sudden we heard loud music coming from the bus.
The traffic was
at an absolute standstill and Gracie opened the door to the
car.
"If
we're stuck here, I'm gonna stretch ma legs!"
I groaned and looked at the bus again. All of a sudden
"Baby Got Back"
from Sir Mix-a-Lot came on and I glanced back at Liz.
"Oh we are so NOT going to do this!" she exclaimed.
I pushed open my door and then pulled hers open, yanking on
her.
For no reason whatsoever, I started doing the dance we had
made up awhile
back to the song. The door to the bus opened and Chris
came bounding out
and launched himself at us. "HEEEELLLLP!!!!!"
Lance jumped down out of the bus with a HUGE neon
monstrosity in his
hands, shooting a huge spray of water at us. I looked at
him shocked as
the water hit us.
"Sorry," he said apologetically and put the gun up in
surrender. Chris
came out from behind me and smiled.
"Do that dance you were doing."
"Uh...no."
"Come on...pwease?"
I groaned. "Only if you give me something."
He laughed. "Heheh, backstage passes?"
Liz grabbed my arm. "Okay, you're on."
We did the dance to the rest of the song and when our backs
were turned,
the rest of the guys must have emerged from the bus. They
stood before us
clapping and cheering. I put my hands over my face and
peeked through.
"I can't believe y'all watched that!"
Just then the song "Just a little bit" by Gina G. came on.
"Oh my god, I
have to dance to this song!" I said.
I grabbed at the nearest guy and we started moving really
fast. There was
something about that song that just made my feet move of
their own free
will and I found myself looking up into Justin's face.
"Hi," I gasped as
we kept dancing.
"Hey," he grinned and then we looked at the Lance, Chris,
JC, Joey, Liz,
and Gracie who had strange looks on their faces. "Wanna
give them a
show?" he asked.
I grinned knowing what he had in mind. We began to bump and
grind to the
song and I looked over Justin's shoulder to see Liz and
Gracie with big
grins on their faces. I figured everyone in the cars must
be getting a
pretty good show, but enjoyed myself while we danced.
When the song ended, I detached myself from Justin and we
looked at each
other and then at the others who were cheering and
whistling. Justin
asked me a few questions about myself and I saw Liz and
Lance talking and
Gracie flirting with the others.
"So do you normally pick
up girls on the
street?" I asked, grinning at him.
"Ha ha," he said and looked at me, playing the flirting
game, "only when
they're as pretty as you."
I punched him in the arm and happened to glance ahead of us
at the traffic
starting up again. "Well, I'd better go," I said. The
other guys had
already started towards the bus and Chris was waving at me.
I waved back.
"Okay, I guess I'll be seeing you at the concert."
"Yeah, only I won't get to see you," he pouted and looked
at the bus which
had started running again. He reached into his pocket and
then got a
panicked look in his eye. "Do you have a pen?" I shook my
head no and he
put a finger up and raced back to the bus.
I got back in my car and started it just as the car behind
me honked. We
pulled forward and then the traffic slowed again and I saw
the door to the
bus open.
"Look, he's coming back," laughed Liz. "Probably wants to
give you his
number."
"He better be giving me those backstage passes Chris
promised me."
"Uh, Justin, there's a problem," I said when he was done.
"What's that?" he asked.
"Isn't that your bus up there?" I asked and he glanced up
to see his bus
already a quarter mile away.
"Crap!" he said and looked around.
"You're not going to catch up to it. Just come with us and
we'll drop you
off."
He hopped in next to Liz and I could see her smile in the
backseat. She
thought Justin and Lance were the hottest of the group.
When we pulled up to the venue, we all walked up to the
gate. "I can get
you those passes," Justin said, "But you'll have to come
with me."
"That's cool," I said and told Liz and Gracie I would meet
up with them
inside.
Justin and I walked over to the side where they let the
meet n greeters
through and Justin started to walk through the gate. "I'm
sorry, sir, no
one gets in here but people with these passes." The guy
flashed a green
pass at us and Justin got a shocked look on his face. "I'm
with the group
though," he said and pointed at the picture of himself on
the pass.
The guy looked skeptical and looked at the pic to Justin.
"Sorry, sir, I
can't let anyone through, you look like him, but so do a
million other
kids." He turned away from us and went to talk to another
guy.
"Oh crap," said Justin, "What now?"
"Let's find another security guy and see if he'll call
someone backstage
and see if they are looking for you."
We headed over to another guy who refused to call
backstage. "Look, I
know the minute I turn my back, you kids will be pushing
through here.
Now get out of here."
Justin and I turned to each other again. "This doesn't
look good," he
said. "Maybe you should just go inside and find your
friends and convince
someone to call."
"Um, Justin, that might be a problem," I said.
He raised an eyebrow. "You don't have your ticket, do
you?"
"No, Gracie has them. Since I was going in with you, I
didn't think to
get it from her."
"I think we are officially screwed," he said and looked at
the growing
number of cars in the parking lot. Once they start the
meet n greet I can
yell for one of the guys, but until then, I guess we have
to hang out
here."
I looked at the large amount of people tailgating and
looked at Justin's
face. "You're going to get mobbed," I said.
"Yup," he gulped.
I led him to my car and scrounged in the backseat and came
up with a big
green raincoat with a hood. "That's the best I can do for
disguise...sorry."
Justin laughed. "Well, this is better than nothing! I
can't believe this
happened!"
"I'm sorry, its all my fault," I said and looked at him.
He peered at me from under the hood. "Nah, its actually
kinda fun.
Besides, then I wouldn't have met you, now would I?"
I laughed at him and punched him in the arm. He grabbed my
hand and we
walked through the parking lot, to wait in the growing
crowd of people
waiting for the meet n greet.
"Hey, Justin, why don't you use your charms and get us some
meet n greet
passes? I'm sure some girl will give them to you, and then
you can bring
her inside afterwards or something. That way, we won't
risk not seeing
the guys."
He nodded. "Yah, and it might be fun to be a guest at my
own meet n
greet." He grinned and we looked around the crowd. A
group of girls was
decked out all in baby blue and one had a Tarheels jersey
on.
I nudged him and he grinned. We walked over to the girls
and the looked
at us nonchalantly. "Yah?" asked one.
"Hey," said Justin, pulling off the hood so they could see
his face and
some of his hair. He put his finger over his lips so they
wouldn't
scream.
The girls eyes widened and one looked like she was going to
faint.
"J-J-Justin?"
He nodded and grinned at me. "Yah, look I have a little
problem."
"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god," said the NC jersey girl.
"See, I kinda got separated from my friends and now I can't
get
inside...so I can't do the show unless I get a pass to get
inside. The
security guys don't believe me, but I can tell you all know
who I am. If
my friend and I could just borrow two of your passes, I'll
let ya in right
afterwards. And I'll even take pictures with you too,"
added Justin,
aware of the strict policy.
Two of the girls quickly ripped theirs off and handed them
to Justin and
he handed one to me. "Thanks, girls," he said and he
hugged each of them
quickly. "Remember...ssssh," he said and winked, pulling
the hood back up
and putting his finger over his lips.
We waited until they started letting people inside and
Justin thought it
would be funny to get an autograph with his coat on.
"Where's Justin?" we
heard some girls whispering when they saw only the four
guys seated at the
table.
When we got to the front of the line, Justin squeaked in a
high pitched
voice, "Oh Chris, I love you so much. Will you marry me?"
Chris looked
shocked and looked up at Justin in the green raincoat. A
huge grin broke
out on his face.
"Hey guys," said Chris. "Look who decided to grace us with
his presence?"
The guys grinned and Justin took off the jacket.
"Look its Justin!" the girls screamed and scrambled towards
him. I got
some meet n greet and front row passes from Lance and took
them to the two
girls who were waiting patiently by the fence. "Here you
go," I said and
handed the passes to them.
The girls both shrieked and
rushed past me.
The NC jersey girl stopped and turned around. "Are you
Justin's
girlfriend?" she asked.
I shook my head and she smiled. "okay, bye!"
I wandered back over to Justin and pinched his butt,
knowing he would
jump. He whirled around with a shocked look on his face
until he noticed
it was me. "Oh hey!"
"Now Justin...about those backstage passes..." I smiled,
and he nudged
Lance who sighed and forked over three passes. "Thanks
sweetie!"
Justin grinned, "Now give me some sugar!" he said and
tapped his cheek and
I kissed him quickly. The guys all laughed at us.
I went back to my seat after the meet n greet and watched
the concert from
the front row. It was awesome and the guys were all
amazing, especially
Justin. I looked forward to seeing him backstage after the
concert and
then possibly later on, since I still had his number
written on my
hand...but the future was another story entirely :)
