The sexuality of the band members portrayed may not be accurate. If you are under 18, do not read this. And on with the story... Justin's Dancer It was 4am and Corey was wide-awake. This was the day he'd been looking forward to for 16 years. Today was his dancing audition to join Nsync on the road for their new tour. Corey was a great dancer with perfect form. He was able to glide along as if he weren't even touching the ground. But right now, all he could think about was the dance steps. Instead of fighting the anxiousness and inability to sleep, he got up and turned on the CELEBRITY CD on very low. POP, the first track, came out of the speakers and Corey practiced his dance steps, nailing every one. After the song, his alarm went off, signifying it was time to get ready. He showered quickly and got dressed. Also, each auditionee was informed to bring an overnight bag because if you made it, you would be staying the night. He ran upstairs and had a quick breakfast drink and said goodbye to his mom. "I don't agree with what your doing," said his mom, "But I'll support you no matter what." Corey's mom wasn't the best mom ever, but she tried. "Your not going to make it," said his dad. Corey's dad was never okay with his dancing and hoped he would stop it and start basketball. Corey was a good Bball player, but he liked dancing more. Corey walked out the door and hopped in his Wrangler. He drove off to the auditions. 25 people were asked to audition. They planned on taking 5 boys and 5 girls. When Corey arrived he stretched out with the others. Wade Robson walked in and divided the group in half. "The first 13 will go first. You will dance together in each song and we'll call people out when we see them mess up. Good luck to all of you." Wade said. Corey was in group two. His group went into an extra studio and started practicing together. One girl stood out to Corey. Not because of her looks, Corey was gay and he'd known for awhile. She hit every move. Sarah was her name. Soon enough, group two was called into the auditioning room. Corey and Sarah were placed next to eachother. The judges were made up of Wade, a black guy named Darren, and some tour people. POP started playing over the speakers and the dancers got in formation. One of the first moves was a triple spin and after it, 5 of the 13 were called out. Then a leap, and 2 more were called out. After some regular moves, the song was sped up so the moves went faster. Minor errors caused 4 more to be called out, leaving Corey and Sarah. It became a battle of who could win. It ended when Sarah couldn't do the back walk over and Corey did. The music stopped and Wade stood up. "Everyone needs to come as prepared as that boy." Wade said, pointing at Corey. Corey turned red because he never was good at taking compliments. Applause started with Sarah, who was very proud of him. "The listings will be posted in an hour," Wade said. After an hour of sitting around relaxing, Wade walked out of a back office with a piece of paper. "Thank you all for showing up today. However, only 10 will come with us," he said. Wade taped the paper on the wall and walked away. Dancer walked up to it and turned away, either rejoicing or teary eyed. Corey made his way to the front and ran his finger down the boys side: Tony Jordan Steve Ross Mike He turned away, in shock. After what Wade had said, he was almost positive he made it. He walked away when a dancer tapped him on the shoulder. "Congratulations" she said. "Why? I didn't make it." He replied. "Look again." She said. Corey walked back up and look again. Next to the word Captain it said Corey. He was so excited. He walked back to his bag and took out his cell. "Hey Dad I made it. Sorry to disappoint you, bye." "Hey good job." Someone from behind him said. He spun around with a giant smile on his face and when he saw who it was, he stumbled, for the first time ever doing a spin. "Whoa don't fall" the guy said and grabbed Corey around the waist. Corey looked up and met eye to eye with the guy holding him around the waist; Justin Timberlake.
