Subject: N SYNC & the Vamps 2

We've been getting a lot of good responses from the last chapter. And if
you liked that one, you'll love the upcoming ones! I guarantee it! Well, on
with the story and thanks for reading! Oh yeah, before I get started, I
just want to let everybody know that Lance is really sick! He's been in the
emergency room at least twice. I just would just like everybody to pray for
him, although we all know he's gonna get better but they should have all
the support from their fans. And hey! If you're reading this Lance, read my
story and email me! Hey, you never know! Now, enough of me talking, on with
the story!


Still a little shaken from his dream, he walked to the bedroom door and
opened it, then walked down the stairs slowly. He rubbed his eyes as he
walked into the living room.  Joey looked up and said,

"Afternoon Lance."

Lance grunted and plopped down on the couch. Then stood up again and said.

"I need to go take a shower. Can I use yours Justin?"

Justin nodded and Lance went up to his room and got the cloths he had worn
the night before and went in to Justin's bathroom. He quickly took a shower
and did everything he needed to do. He then came out of Justin's bathroom
and looked down at the guys, he saw JC had gotten out of his shower and was
walking across the living room into the kitchen. Lance bounced down the
stairs in a good mood.

"Feel better?" Chris asked with a smile.

Lance nodded cheerfully and sat down and watched TV.

"So what are we going to do today fellas?" Joey asked as he looked at the
guys.

"Let's go to the mall." JC said as he stepped into the room.

Lance looked at JC. He was wearing a tank top, and a pair of coveralls.

"If you say so farmer Josh." Justin cracked a joke.

"I wouldn't be laughin Justin. They're yours." JC said with a smile.

Justin's face turned red as he looked towered the TV. All the guys started
to laugh as Justin was getting pissed.

"Oh come on curly, you know I'm only kidding with you. If I didn't like
them I wouldn't have borrowed them." JC said as he sat next to Justin.

Justin simply muttered,

"I know."

JC looked down the couch and saw Lance sitting there. He had just come out
of the shower and his hair was still wet. He had on the same cloths as last
night. JC started to stare at him.

"JC..........JC?!" Justin snapped his fingers in front of JC.

JC snapped out of his trance.

"What?" he said with a shake of his head.

"Dude, do you want to go to the mall?"

JC looked back at Justin.

"Yeah, of course I do numb nuts."

Justin looked at Lance and said,

"Well we're taking your car."

"Why my car?" Lance asked kinda of angry.

"Because you idiot, yours is the only one big enough to carry all five of
us." Joey said with laughter.

Lance gave him the evil eye.

"So are we going?" Chris asked as he stood up, his dreadlocks falling from
out in front of his face.

JC stood and then reluctantly, Lance pulled his car keys out.

"Lets go." he said as he started for the door.

All the guys started to run as JC yelled,

"SHOT GUN!"

Lance laughed as they piled in to his 4runner. He climbed into the driver's
side and saw JC sitting there. Lance smiled as he started the car and JC
had a sense of accomplishment on his face.

The ride to the mall was pretty silent, aside for the fact of JC and Justin
was trying to kill each other. Joey and Chris started to sing some annoying
songs as Lance drove fast to get to the mall. Just as they were pulling up
to the mall, a car pulled out in front of them.  Lance hit the breaks and
Justin and JC flew forward as the car came to a quick stop. JC rubbed his
arm and then looked at Justin

"Yo Just are you ok?!?" He asked as he help Justin off the floor.

Justin simple looked out the front window and yelled,

"WHY DON'T YOU FUCKIN LEARN TO DRIVE?"

The other car sped off and Lance pulled in to the parking spot where the
other car was.  Joey looked at JC's arm and said,

"Holy shit dude check out your arm!"

JC looked down and there was a huge bruise there. Lance quickly came around
the front of the car to see it. JC looked down at his arm then looked at
Joey. He put the bruise up to his face and said,

"You wanna kiss it and make it better?"

Joey smiled and poked the bruise.

"Aahh, you little bitch that hurt."

Joey and Chris laughed as they started to walk for the mall. Justin smiled
at JC as he started to walk behind them.

Lance took JC by the arm and looked at the bruise more closely.

"Aw, Lance I didn't know you cared." JC said jokingly.

Lance looked up at him without a smile.

"We need to get you to the first aid station." Lance said as he started to
pull JC to the door that said first aid.

JC pulled away from him.

"I will be fine. I've been through worse."

Lance looked back at him.

"SO you want this thing that big?"

JC looked back down at his arm. It had swelled and was about half and inch
high.

"Oh fuck!"

Lance grabbed JC's hand. It was a little cold and got colder as JC worried
about his arm.  Lance started to laugh at the look on JC's face. Lance new
he was going to be ok, but it would be good to get some ice on it. They
walked into the first aid building and a nurse walked up to them. The woman
was about 5'10 very pretty. Blonde hair, and brown eyes. She smiled at
Lance and JC.

"May I help you?" she said in a sweet voice.

Lance smiled back.

"My friend here hurt his arm cause he's dumb." Lance said just a sweet.

JC pointed his arm to the girl and she briefly looked at it.

"Well I think all you need is an ice pack and you will be fine Mr. Chasez."

JC smiled and said,

"You know who we are?"

The woman cocked an eyebrow.

"Of course you're only plastered all over my daughter's wall."

Lance and JC smiled.

"I'll be right back with your ice pack."

She turned around and walked off. Lance noticed something there was a
tattoo on her ankle. It looked like a T with several lines around it.

JC looked at Lance checking out the nurse's legs. JC kind of got a little
jealous and depressed, but didn't show it.

"Damn she is hot!" JC said.

Lance looked up, smiled and said,

"Yeah not too bad."

JC looked back as the nurse walked back in and said,

"Mr. Chasez can I get you to sit on the table?"

JC looked at the nurse then complied. He hoped up on the table.

"Now this my sting a little bit." She said as she placed the ice pack on
JC's arm.

He hissed in pain. His heart started to pump with adrenaline, then the pain
stopped. She took a rubber band out, placed it on the ice pack and said,

"All fixed, feel better?"

JC looked at her and smiled.

"Yeah thanks." He said as he hoped off the table.

"So how much do we owe you." Lance asked.

The nurse smiled and said,

"Well, my daughter would kill me if I didn't get your....."

"Oh it's no problem!" Lance interrupted as he pulled out a pen.

"Do you have any thing for us to write on, like a piece of paper or
something?"

She smiled really big and handed them some sticky notes. They both signed
it and handed it to her.

"Thank you gentlemen." She said as she smiled and started to walk off.

"Hey how much do we owe you?" JC asked as he looked at his arm.

"Oh you will pay me later." She said with an almost evil smile.

JC mouthed the word "weird" and Lance agreed. They walked out of the door
and then into the main section of the mall.

"So where to?" Lance asked.

JC started to walk forward and look around. He pointed with his bad arm and
said,

"There!"

Lance looked over and saw a Gothic shop.

"There?!?" Lance asked.

"Yes there!"

He pulled Lance along they walked into the store and started to look
around.

"Oh Kick ass." JC said as he walked over to a book setting on the table in
the front of the store.

Lance followed walking deeper into the store. They looked at the book. It
looked old, it had what looked like a brown leather cover and a symbol that
looked like the one on the back of that woman's leg. JC ran his fingers
over the book and felt it. Lance began to look around the store more. He
came upon lots of.......interesting stuff. There was a cap that got his
interest. It was black with a silver spike on it and said,

"A certified Vampire whoopasser."

 Lance laughed at the hat and bought it. He looked for JC around the
store. He found him over by a mirror. JC was looking in it and just staring
off. He saw some strange images in the mirror. He saw a good-looking guy
about 17 years old, he was trying to seduce JC. He kept motioning JC to
come through the glass. He put his hand up to the glass and was about to
touch it.

"Ok, I'm ready to go." Lance said walking up to JC, who he noticed, had the
book in his hand, "JC?"

He waved his hand in front of JC's eyes.

"Oh! Hey..Lance! Sorry I was just looking at this mirror. What did you
buy?"

Lance gave him a weird look and showed him the hat. JC smiled as he walked
to the front counter.

"How much for this book?"

The girl looked at him then rolled her eyes.

"Forty bucks." she said in a monotone voice.

JC handed her forty bucks and she put the book in a bag for him. They
walked out of the store.

"Now where?" Lance asked.

JC looked at him and said,

"I picked the last store you pick the next one."

Lance smiled as they started to walk up the upper levels.

"There!"

JC looked and saw a sign that said "Weapons." He smiled as he looked at
Lance. Lance was giving him puppy dog eyes. His heart started to melt,
those green eyes of his ran right through his soul.

"Ok, let's go." He said as he ran with Lance into the store.

Lance looked around the store. It was filled with swords and axes, and
other very cool stuff. Lance noticed something that he really liked. It was
an old cutlass saber. It was about 3 feet long and weighed about 4
pounds. Lance looked at the details.

"She's a bute ain't she?" A man asked.

Lance quickly turned around.

"Yeah, How much?" Lance asked.

"Oh about $159." The man said in an Irish accent.

Lance kept looking at it. JC looked around the weapons shop out site of
Lance. He looked at an axe that was about 5 feet long with and oak handle
and a huge blade. He picked it up and walked around the corner to see Lance
holding a sword.

"Hey Lance?" he said as Lance looked around and saw JC holding the axe,
"You think its me?"

JC was smiling and Lance started to laugh.

"You know JC I think that axe was meant for someone a little more......man
like." Lance said as JC looked at him and gave him a fake evil look.

JC went and put the axe back and then started to look around more. There
was a shield that was so shinny you could see your reflection in it. JC
started to look in to it. He stared into the shield and the person who he
saw in the mirror appeared again. He was doing the same thing as before,
beckoning him. Then a figure appeared behind him, it was Lance, the man in
the reflection then opened his mouth and hissed. JC quickly jumped and
turned around.

"Jesus Lance, you scared the fuck out of me!"

Lance smiled.

"Ready to go?"

JC looked down and noticed Lance holding a sword.

"You didn't buy that did you?" he said with a somewhat annoyed voice.

"Yeah why?" Lance asked somewhat scared.

JC just smiled and said,

"Ok let's go."

Lance went and put the sword down on the counter and walked out.

"We will ship this to your house Mr. Bass." The Irish man said.

Lance looked back at him and smiled then followed JC out. They were walking
though the mall and stopped by a few more stores. JC bought a new silk
shirt and Lance got some video game books.

"Are you hungry?" Lance asked as he grabbed his belly.

JC nodded and they headed for the food court.

When they got there they could see Justin, Joey, and Chris setting at a
table. JC and Lance laughed at how many bags were all around them.

"You guys buy way too much!" Lance said with a laugh.

Justin stuck his tongue out as JC went to get some food for him and Lance.

"So what did y'all buy Lance?" Chris asked with a smile.

"Oh not much." Lance said avoiding eye contact.

"Lance?" Joey said as he looked down under his sunglasses.

"Ok, I bough a hat, some books and a...........sword."

All the guys looked up and him.

"You bought a sword?" Justin asked as he held some fries in his hand.

Lance kind of looked away and saw JC coming back with some food.

"What did you get?" he asked hoping it would change the subject.

It wasn't really that embarrassing, but he still didn't like the fact that
the guys would make fun of him for it. JC looked down at the food.

"Two number ones." JC said as he looked back at Lance.

Lance grabbed the bag and started to chow down. JC smiled at him and kinda
stared for a couple of seconds before he caught himself. Justin was eating
when he saw something out of the corner of his eye. When he looked down he
saw a little boy about four years old holding a marker and an `N Sync
CD. Justin smiled at the cute little boy and took the pen and CD. Joey and
Chris looked over at Justin signing the CD. Then looked down at the little
boy. JC and Lance did the same. Then Justin handed the CD to Joey, Joey to
Chris, Chris to Lance, Lance to JC. The little boy followed the CD around
the table watching every move the guys made. When the little boy got to JC,
he saw that some of JC's fries had fallen out of the box. He looked back up
at JC then back down at the fries, then back up at JC. JC noticed this and
acted like nothing was going on. He saw Lance out of the corner of his eye
smiling at the little boy. And before JC could even react the boy had
stolen JC's fries. JC looked down at the boy really quick.

"Did you steal my fries?" JC said in a fake angry voice. The little boy
laughed and said,

"No!"

JC looked at him.

"Oh ok."

Then he handed the CD to the little boy. The boy took off running and up to
his mom who was smiling.

"You know, that's what makes this all worth while." Chris said.

The guys nodded and then Justin said,

"Oh Chris you're so sentimental!"

Chris looked at him and mouth,

"Fuck you."

Justin smiled and said,

"Later."

All the guys laughed and got up and left the food court. They were on their
way back to Lance's car when the nurse came up to JC and said,

"So how's the arm?"

JC jumped at the quick approach.

"Oh...God you scared me. It's much better, thanks." JC said with a smile.

"Well that's good. Hey I was going to go to `The Lair' tonight, you wanna
come?"

JC froze in fear. He had managed to forget about the night before, and then
she brought it all back to memory.

"Well um......No, I'm like really beat. But thanks for asking." he said in
an almost seductive voice.

She got kinda a sad look on he face.

"Ok, well I just thought I would ask."

She smiled and walked off. JC looked up to the sun set. It was pretty
cool. There were shades of red and some pink, some orange and still a
little blue.

"Yo Romeo?"

JC heard Joey yell.

"Are we going or are you going to stay there and get laid?"

JC laughed at the comment and jumped in the back of Lance's 4runner. Lance
started the car and pulled out of the parking lot.

"So what are we going to do tonight guys?" Lance asked as they go on the
highway.

"Lets go clubbin." Joey said.

"Sounds good to me." Chris said almost right after Joey said that.

"Ok so we go clubbing, but which club?" Lance said.

The guys started to think.

"What about the Jumper?" Justin said.

"No cause all they do is play our songs and BSB." Lance said.

"Inferno?" Joey stammered out. "NO!" All the guys said in sync. (No pun
intended)

"Hey I got it!" JC said, "There is a new club called, `Light'. It's
supposed to be like totally kick ass."

All the guys looked at each other.

"Ok." Lance said.

"Where is it." JC tried to remember the address. "76789 Ruratan."

JC shouted out as he the number popped in to his head. Lance turned of the
high way and went to Ruratan.

They got out of the car and there were no other car's around.

"Gee great night club JC." Joey said as he looked up the side of the
building.

JC glared at Joey and started to walk for the door. Lance followed and so
did all the others. It was about 9:00 at night. Considering Lance got lost
five times. As they got closer they could hear some music. They opened the
door and a man approached them.  He was about as tall as Justin, and had
more muscle then any of the guys.

"May I help you?" He asked in a normal sounding voice.

"Um.yeah." Chris said, "We're trying to find the night club called Light?"

The man started at them,

"Just straight down the hall."

"Thank you." Justin said as he winked at the man.

The man grabbed Justin by the arm.

"Hey, maybe you and me could dance a little later."

Justin's face went in to complete shock. JC started to smile, and tried not
to laugh.

"Um.......Yeah sure why not." Justin said with a smile.

They started to walk down the hall. Justin started to laugh, then JC,
Lance, Joey and Chris.

They came up to two huge blue doors. Justin pushed the doors open and music
came blasting out. It was just a dance mix. There were lots of people. Most
of them were on the dance floor some could dance well, while others just
danced to have fun. Lance started to walk for the bar.

"Hey buddy!" a female voice shouted.

Lance turned around and saw a girl standing somewhat close to him. All the
other guys looked over and went and stood next to Lance. The girl was short
and kinda chubby she was pretty though with a big bright smile. She looked
at all the guys then back at Lance.

"Are you guys in a group?" she asked.

"What?" Lance said as he got closer.

"Are you guys in a group?" she said louder.

Lance pointed to his ears and shook his head. She moved her head as if she
was annoyed but smiled. She grabbed Lance by the hand and pulled him out of
the room.  The other guys followed. They got back into the well-lit and
quieter hallway.

"Are you guys in a group or are you all paying separately?" She asked with
a smile.

"Huh? No..I'm kidding. We're paying separately." Joey said.

She looked at him and smiled bigger.

"Ok, well then its Ten bucks."

Each of the guys handed her ten bucks and started to go back into the
room. She grabbed Joey by the arm.

"Yo studs! You need to hear the rules first."

The guys looked at her then walked back to her.

"Ok this is the first level. It's the dance hall where all of today's music
is played. Then the next level after that is the jazz room. That's were all
the soft music is played both of these rooms are sound proof so none of the
other music bleeds through. Then on the top level is what is called the
kissing room." She said looking at Joey.

"The Kissing room?" Justin asked.

"Oh it's for if you meet a girl, or guy. Whichever you prefer you can go up
and make out with them. Its pretty cool."

JC looked at Lance and thought. 'Go to the Jazz level Lance.' JC always
loved quite music. It gave him a kind of a peaceful feeling. He looked
around the guys.

"Those are the rules?" Chris asked with a smile.

She nodded.

"Oh by the way, my name is Maggie."

Right then a group of girls came out. They were wearing the normal
nighttime attire.

"Oh look its Maggits. And she is flirting with the guys again."

They all laughed as they pushed her out of the way.

"So you guys want to dance?" One said as she walked up to Justin.

Another one walked up to Lance, and then one to JC. Maggie began to get
tears in her eyes. And she turned back towered the big blue doors.

"No thanks, I told Maggie I would dance with her." JC said.

He pushed the girl out of the way and stuck out his arm. Then Lance,
Justin, and Joey walked over to her, put their arms around her. Lance wiped
a tear that had fallen down her face.

"See we like our girls to have a little class." Joey said with a smile.

The girls huffed and walked off. Maggie looked up at the guys and smiled.

"Thanks, well you guys have fun." She said as she pulled away from JC's arm
and went under the other guys' arms, and started to walk though the big
doors.

"Hey, Where do you think your going?"

She turned back around and looked at Joey who had made the comment.

"Um, I'm going to go sit at my table." She said with a shocked kinda look.

"Oh no your not." JC said as he walked towards her.

"You're going to dance with me."

She got tears in her eyes again.

"You meant what you said?"

"I said I was going to dance with her." Justin said pushing JC away from
her.

"No I said I was." Chris said rudely.

"No I am!" Lance interrupted, "You guys stand out here and fight. I'm going
to go dance with the prettiest girl here."

He took Maggie by the hand and led her though the doors.

The guys smiled and followed them through the door. He took Maggie out on
the floor and started to dance. She laughed at him, and then started to
sway to the music. Then she saw more people crowd around her it was the
rest of the guys. They all started dancing and she laughed even
harder. They danced for ten minutes till JC gave her a kiss on the cheek,
and whispered in her ear,

"Save the last dance for me."

He pulled away and smiled. She blushed and went back to dancing with
Joey. JC started to walk up the stairs.

"HEY WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" Lance yelled.

JC looked down and smiled and yelled back,

"THE JAZZ ROOM."

Lance nodded and started up the stairs. JC grew a huge smile on his face
and started to walk up the stairs. They got up to the top of the stairs and
went through two smaller doors. When the doors shut the music from down
stairs faded. They looked around and it was a small hall way about 5 to 6
feet long. There was a door at the end of it. The two of them walked though
the door and into a semi dark room. They could hear the soft cry of a
trumpet, and then a piano.

They sat at the table and started to listen to the music play. The room
wasn't very filled but it was still nicely packed. JC looked over at Lance
and smiled. He thought about when Lance grabbed his hand and he felt all
warm inside. Without thinking he reached over and kissed Lance on the
cheek. Then he drew back quickly and looked at Lance.  He shook his head
and started to get out of his seat. Lance stood and went to follow JC.  JC
quickly walked to the exit. He had a million things running through his
head. Most of it was, "you stupid fucking ass hole" Or, "how the fuck could
you kiss him like that". JC got his hand on the doorknob when someone
grabbed his hand. He looked at the hand that had grabbed his. He knew it
was Lance's. Lance's hands were so, pretty, nothing misplaced. JC looked up
at Lance. Tears began to gather in his eyes. He saw the rage in Lance's
eyes.

JC slowly pulled his hand off from the door. He closed his eyes expecting
Lance to deck him right across the face. He stood there for about ten
seconds waiting for the fist to come smashing across his face. It didn't,
he opened his eyes and looked at Lance.  Lance still looked pissed.

"JC why the HELL did you kiss me?"

JC couldn't answer. He just looked at Lance. Then he started for the
door. When it was about half way open Lance flung his hand out slamming the
door back.

"JC talk to me!"

JC just kept looking down. He couldn't look at Lance.

"Josh?!?"

JC sighed as a tear ran down his face.

"Yeah?"

Lance looked at the face on JC. At first Lance was pissed. He almost
couldn't see straight, but as he looked a JC's face he could tell JC really
regretted what he did. He looked around the room. No one was staring at
them so he took JC by the hand and led him to a table at the far end of the
room.

"Ok....now, what's going on in that head of yours?" Lance asked with a
smile.

JC didn't look up. A waitress came by and asked,

"So what can I get for you guys to drink?"

"Nothing, thank you." Lance said as he kept his eye on JC.

JC's head popped up, looked at the waitress and said,

"Jack Daniel's."

The woman nodded and then Lance stood up and said,

"Just bring us both some water."

Then JC added,

"And the Jack Daniel's."

Then JC looked back down at the table. The waitress looked at Lance.  Lance
shook his head and the waitress replied.

"Ok I will bring you guys some water."

She walked off and Lance picked JC's head up with his hand. JC was crying
hard, but not making any noise.

"Josh what the hell is wrong with you?"

JC looked at Lance and thought to himself, should he say that he cares for
him, that he wants to be with him.......then he thought up a lie.

"It was just one of those things you do without thinking."

Lance set back in his chair. He had done it on many times with the guys on
the bus. Just out of reaction he would slap Justin on the butt, or call
Chris or Joey dear. And he actually cried about them. The fact that it
could ruin their friendship.

"Just as long as you promise it will never happen again." Lance said with a
smile.

JC laughed. He couldn't believe Lance bought it. He stopped crying,
thinking everything was ok but it wasn't. He still loved Lance and he
couldn't hold it in for much longer.  Across the room a man sat and
watched. He kept his eyes on Lance only taking them off to glare at JC. A
woman came over and the man pointed to JC. She nodded and walked over to
the table. The man smiled as he eyes grew a yellowish tint.

"Soon, Mr. Bass...You will be mine.............." he said.
