Date: 21 Mar 2000 07:10:18 -0800 From: samantha lalalalala Subject: Lance's Song 8- all proof read and ready to go! Hey all! I'm back! That's right, gemmi is back with another chapter of Lance's Song! The introduction to this chapter is going to be long, but please read it. Please! First of all, I got numerous e-mails from people offering support, trying to help me through that difficult time, and I'd like to say thank you. Often times, I didn't reply to them because that would mean I would have to face my problems, and I at the time I was running scared. So if you wrote me and didn't get a reply, I seriously am incredibly sorry. I have to offer massive thanks to a couple people. Frank, Diva, Evan, Lee, Jc, Aj, Amber, and anyone else who wrote me. Those are the people who made me realize that I write because I love writing, and even if I am going through a difficult time, I shouldn't abandon what I love. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Next on the list, thank you David, web master, for posting my stories and putting up with all the mistakes I make... I promise this one will have a disclaimer! Also... note, I have a new e-mail address. You can still write me at gemmini999@aol.com, but I won't be checking that one nearly as often, so responses might be long in coming. My new e-mail addy is ... Joeysgal@backstreetboys.com (isn't it great!) Yep... I love it. (And Joey is my favorite member of N Sync, next to Chris) okay now I have to say one other thing. I recently had a short story put on Nifty, please check it out. It's called A Simple Talk. I love it... let me know what you think, kay? Massive thanks to my editor and friend, DivaKitt. I'm thanking you again, girl! Frank, that you too. Keep writing... whens the next chapter out? I might eventually be able to check it out! Now, the disclaimer. Don't read this if you shouldn't. Under 18... go away and check out nsyncstudio.com or something. That's more your speed. This doesn't mean anyone in N Sync is gay, in fact, they probably aren't. And folks... it's fiction. Meaning... no real. Kay, enough of that. Have fun reading, send me responses at Joeysgal@backstreetboys.com I hope you like the chapter! Chapter 8~ "Hey Chris," Lance said, as he walked into the studio with Tyler. Megan was with Jenny again. " Scoop! Your late!" he said, astonished. " Obviously. There was traffic," Lance explained, after looking at Tyler with a helpless look in his eyes. " Whatever. Hey, Ty man, the four of us talked about the song last night... all five of us would have, but someone never came home," Justin explained, looking at Lance with a look of amusement. " sorry bout that guys, I ended up crashing on Tyler's couch... Megan's really energetic. She drained me," Lance excused himself. "It's cool. Anyways, like Justin was saying, we talked about the song..." Jc continued "And..." Tyler hinted, eager for an answer. "As long as Lance likes it, we'll sing it. It's great!" Jc exclaimed. Tyler began to smile, his grin soon taking up his entire face. "I loved it," Lance commented. Tyler looked at all of them and smiled again. "Good to hear. Now we only have 8 songs to look for," Tyler said. The rest nodded. "But do we have to do it at 7 am?" Justin complained. Chris and Joey laughed. "Do I have to put up with this the entire time?" Tyler asked Lance, gesturing to Justin. He nodded. "Normally he's worse. It would probably be better if we met in the afternoon instead of the morning," Lance explained. Tyler thought about it for a minute. " I suppose, from now on, we can meet at 1. I need sleep too..." Tyler stated. The guys cheered. "As long as you don't mind staying later," Tyler continued. The cheer faded. "How much later?" Joey asked. "Um...till 7 or something," Tyler said. Joey nodded. " It's workable, I suppose," Jc said. The rest nodded and smiled. " Alright, time to work guys," Tyler stated. The morning and afternoon passed quickly. "That's a wrap," Tyler said, coming out of the sound booth. "You guys have the vocal arrangements down... the song is ready to be recorded." "Cool," Joey said. The others looked to tired to talk. "Get out of here! Go sleep, or party, or something," Tyler exclaimed. "You wanna come with us?" JC asked. Tyler shook his head. " Can't, sorry. Megan's here and--" "Megan's here?" Chris, Joey, Justin, and JC asked at the same time. " Um... yeah," Tyler said, confused. " Can we meet her?" Joey asked. Chris and Justin nodded for effect. " I guess. Lance, wanna go pull her away from Jenny?" Tyler asked. Lance left without saying a word. A few minutes later he came into the room with Megan on his shoulders, squealing. "Daddy!" She shouted happily. Lance set her down and Megan rushed to Tyler. "Meggers!" he said with the same enthusiasm. He scooped her up into a big hug and for like five minutes the two hugged. "Jenny and me had Ice Cream!" Megan said as soon as her feet touched the ground. "For lunch?" Tyler asked exasperated. Rachel... "Noooooooo," Megan said, shaking her head quickly. "Oh, okay then. Want to meet some of Lance's friends?" Tyler asked. Megan nodded. "Okay then. See the guy over there, with the curly hair?" Tyler questioned. Megan looked and grinned. "Dat guy?" she said pointing to Justin. "Yeppers. That's Justin. And the guy next to him is JC," Tyler explained. "And Megan, that guy over there, with the scary hair is Joey. Chris is talking to him," Lance continued. Megan nodded, and looked back and forth at the different guys. There were so many, it was confusing! "Lance..." Megan whimpered. "You show me them!" "Okay, Meggers. Hop on," Lance said kneeling in front of Megan so she could climb onto his shoulders. She did, and the duo walked over to Justin and JC. "Hey Lance, who's the princess on your shoulders?" JC asked. Megan beemed. " Oh, this little lady?" Lance said, swinging Megan down so she could stand. "This is Megan." " Megan?" JC said, kneeling next to Megan. "I'm JC." he said pointing to himself. She nodded. "Daddy told me." she said quietly. She wasn't nearly as reseptive of JC as she was of Lance. "He did, did he? Did he tell you I'm Justin?" Justin asked kneeling down next to JC. She nodded. "Lance's friends," she said pointing to Justin and JC. They nodded. "Yeah, Meggers, they're my friends," Lance said. She smiled lightly. "Care bear!" she said, pointing to herself. Lance chuckled. "Well, in that case, Care Bear Stare!" JC said, laughing. Megan pointed her tummy outwards, trying to do the Care Bear Stare. Justin pretended that the ray hit him. "Ahhhhhh!" he fake shouted, whimpering. Megan giggled. " It's pretend!" she explained. "Not real!" "Oh, in that case..."Justin said. Leaning forward, he began to tickle Megan's tummy. She giggled and hugged Justin. JC looked at the two of them, and felt a little left out. Megan seemed to sense this and, letting go of Justin, she turned to JC and hugged him. Joey and Chris watched this scene, and knew, instinctively, that Megan was special. She seemed so kind...so innocent. "She's great," Chris said, walking up behind Tyler and startling him. "I think so too," he responded without turning. Chris grinned. "Lance is too," he quietly said. This made Tyler turn quickly. "Huh?" he said pretending not to understand. "Cut the act, okay? I know Lance, and I'm beginning to know you. I know your together..." Chris let the statement hang. Tyler nodded. "What gave it away?" he questioned. "The way he looks at Megan and you," Chris explained. Tyler seemed to accept it. "He loves her already." "I know," Tyler agreed looking at the scene before him. JC and Justin were taking turns tickling Megan. She was loving it, and Lance, well, he was just watching, laughing. "Don't hurt him," was the last thing Chris said before Joey walked up. "Hey guys. Watcha talking about?" Joey asked. Tyler looked at Chris, helplessly. "Megan," Chris filled the gap. "Megan seems so sweet. I can't wait to meet her," Joey commented. Tyler grinned. "Hey, Meggers, come over here for a second!" Tyler shouted over to the group. She nodded and slowly started to walk over to Tyler. Justin had other ideas, apparently. He picked her up and flew her over to Tyler, with her giggling all the way. "Yeah, daddy?" She said, after Justin set her down. "I wanted you to meet more of Lance's friends," he explained. "'Kay," she agreed. Chris and Joey were subsequently introduced, and the three of them got along great. Megan was a little wary of Joey at first, but soon overcame her shyness. The afternoon passed quickly, with everyone talking. Before anyone knew it, Lance was heading back to Tyler's house with Megan. The rest were going to the hotel and clubbing. The night would prove to be interesting, that was for sure. ------- End of forwarded message ------- Backstreet Boys Official Store: http://bsbdirect.com Backstreet Boys Official Site: http://www.backstreetboys.com
