Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2000 20:45:48 EST From: GWMWayne@aol.com Subject: The Corridor Of Time (J.C. and Wayne) part three First off. I want to apologize for the change of First person to second person for Wayne's part. It was getting hard for me to do two perspectives. I would like to thank all the people that have written to me and told me they like my story. You two know who you are. ;-) Well someone has told me that my story is a little complicated, I just want to tell you for me this IS not complicated. (you should hear what I first had planned. NOW that was complicated) OK legal stuff. This is a work of FICTION. I don't know what the sexual preference of the Group 'N Sync is, and I'm not saying that Josh is gay or Bi. If you are not 18 you should not read this story. so leave. I would like to thank Dave for posting my story. Joey thank you to and I would like to thank all of you who read my story. Thanks. I would like to say if you have not read 'Brian and Me" or "Lance In Shining Armour", please do they are great story's as are all the rest. Please I would like to hear what you all think of my story. So Write me (gwmwayne@aol.com) Now on with the story. __________________________________________________________ From part two. Mark, tried to see a little into the future to see what will happen now that he is connected with Josh and Wayne. Mark felt a shiver run down his spine. 'I can't see. I have lost the sight. What have I done?' Mark thought. Then a saying that Wayne always said when, he was unsure of the out come, came to him. "FATE HAS YET TO TURN OVER ALL THE CARDS." __________________________________________________________ WAYNE "Wayne. Come on, it is time to wake up." a voice said. Wayne felt a touch on his shoulder. Then felt a jolt of static electricity shoot up down his left arm. Then he heard a gasp. 'What the Hell!" Jean's voice said. "What?" Wayne said as he rubbed his eyes. "I just got a shock of static electricity that was more powerful then I have ever felt." Jean explained. Wayne looked over at Jean she was rubbing her right hand and was looking at him. Wayne looked down at his left hand and could have sworn that his wedding band was glowing for a bit. The band was braided Silver, Bronze, and Gold, but now it looked like the silver has taken on a blue cast and the gold a reddish tint. 'What?' Wayne thought. "Wayne? Wayne are you all right?" Jean asked. "Yea, but I had the most interesting dream. Where is Rex? I have to talk to him." Wayne asked. "Rex. Ummm..... He is not here, we had a fight while you were sleeping." Jean said. Wayne looked closer at Jean, she had red rimmed eyes. Looked like she was crying. 'Great, Should I call Terri and tell her I'm going to be late, and stay here and help Jean and Rex.' Wayne was thinking, when Jean said something. "Wayne. Don't you dare. Go see Terri. I think that Rex and I need some time alone without you here. When you come back then you can talk to him." "You are right. You and Rex needs the time alone without me reminding Rex of what happen. So what time is it?" Wayne asked. "3 O'clock. I'm making coffee for you to take on your trip, I also made some sandwiches." "OK. Thanks I will just take a shower then head out. I'm sorry Jean, I never should have said that to Rex." Wayne said. "Don't worry. What you said is exactly what Rex needed to hear." Jean said. Wayne got up from the bed and hugged Jean, then went to his closet and pulled out a set of cloth to wear. Wayne turned around and looked at Jean. "Jean, I have to make a phone call, can you get me my address book from the right hand drawer of my desk in my office." Wayne asked. "Sure, be right back." Jean said as she left. "Take your time I will first take my Shower." Wayne said. Wayne went into the bathroom, as he was going past the linen closet he grabbed a towel. He looked into the mirror. "What was that dream about? Did I really see a glow around my ring? Is that how I picture Josh? " Wayne asked his reflection. He didn't get a reply. Wayne got undressed and took a hot long shower. All through the Shower Josh's face kept coming to him. Wayne got out dried off, and wrapped the towel around his waist, and headed back to his room, and got dressed. Jean had left the address book on the bed. Wayne looked up the number he was looking for and called it turning the speaker phone on, so he could get dressed and still talk. "Hello. This is First Wisconsin bank." a Male Voice said. "Hi, can I talk to Mitch?" Wayne asked. "May I ask who is calling." the voice said. "Tell him Wayne. He will know me." Wayne said. "Sure, hold on for a bit." Wayne grabbed his boxers and put them on, then grabbed his deep green silk shirt and buttoned up. He grabbed his black slacks and was about to put them on when Mitch's voice answered the phone. "Hello, Wayne what can I do for you this day?" Mitch asked. "Hey Mitch. How is the wife and Kids?" Wayne asked. "They are doing great, but I know you didn't call just to ask that. So what is it I can do." Mitch said. "Just like you. Work, Work that is all you think of. OK, here it is I need a Favor." Wayne said with a smile. "Oh, this is going to cost me. Well what's the Favor?" Mitch said with a laugh. "I need you to open me an account in Orlando for me." Wayne said. "Oh, planning a trip? You open an account when ever you go on a trip." Mitch said. "Yea, I'm going to see a Friend." Wayne explained. "OK, so how much this time?" Mitch asked. "I think Half a million will do." Wayne said. "WHAT?!" Mitch exclaimed. "You heard me. Listen I need the money there I can't stand Credit Cards." Wayne said. "But...... Wayne I will need to have you come in for this, you know." Mitch said. "I know I just want you to start it so that all I have to do is sign the transfer slip. I plan to stop there in about half an hour." Wayne said 'OK, it will be done." Mitch said with a catch in his voice. Wayne smiled. 'He probably thinks that I am going to move down there and live then move all the money down later.' Wayne thought. "Bye, Mitch talk to you in a bit." Wayne said as he hung up the phone. "Bye." Mitch said. Wayne finished getting dressed grabbed his laptop and put it and some disk's in it's case. Then headed out to the kitchen. As Wayne was entering the Kitchen he could have sworn he hear Josh singing. Jean was sitting at the table drinking coffee. There was a big Thermos sitting on the table, and a small cooler. "That was 'N Sync. With their hit single "God must have spent a little bit more time on you." said the Radio announcer. "Jean?" Wayne asked. "Oh, you done, ready to get going? Jean asked. "Yeah, you going to be OK?" Wayne asked. "Sure, me and Rex just needs time to talk about this thing he has with you. He loves me and I love him. It will work out." Jean said with a smile. "OK, then I have to get going. I have to go to the bank and sign some stuff, then I am heading down." Wayne said. Jean stood up gave Wayne a hug and kiss. Grabbed the thermos and cooler and handed them to Wayne. "Here coffee and sandwiches like I said. So you don't have to stop and eat." Jean said. "Thanks. There is money if you need it in the cookie jar. I won't you to use it." Wayne explained. "Wayne. You don't have to do that." Jean said. "Yes I do you are watching my house and I don't know how long I'm going to be, the money is for you if there is a problem with the house." Wayne said. "Where are the boys?" Wayne asked. "They are in the game room. Go give them a hug and say good-bye, also when you see Terri give her a hug to and tell her I want to see her as soon as she is free." Jean said. "You bet. I will bring her back with me, I promise." Wayne said with a smile. "That is good to hear, I know you will do just that." Jean said returning Wayne's smile. Wayne gave Jean one more hug, then went to the game room that was in the basement. He looked in as saw that Chris was Beating Shane at N64. "Chris, Shane? Boys I have to get going." Wayne said as he stepped into the room. "Wayne, you are leaving?" Shane asked "Going to go and see Terri now?" Chris asked. "Yea, so I want you two to be good while I'm gone." Wayne said as he gave each of the a hug and a kiss on top of their head. "We will."they said. "I'm counting on you two." Wayne said "Well I have to go. Sorry I didn't get to play with you." Wayne said. "We understand, we sort of heard the yelling between you and dad. Are you and dad still mad at each other? Shane asked. "No, your dad and I have just had a little argument that is all." Wayne said. "Oh, that is good to hear." Chris said. "OK I am off take care you two." Wayne said. "Bye." They both said. Then they went back to the game. Wayne looked at them one more time then left. Jean walked him to the front door gave him one more hug and kiss. Then Wayne open Baby's door put the thermos and cooled in the front seat, and the laptop case in the back. Wave to Jean and took off for the bank. It didn't take that long at the bank. In a half hour Wayne was on his way to Orlando. Wayne put the course into the GPS that he had installed into Baby and looked at the travel plan that it came up with, 'This is much better then a map." Wayne thought. __________________________________________________________________ JOSH "J.C.? Josh? hey buddy?" Josh heard a voice. Josh, didn't want to wake up he wanted to find out what was going on. All of a sudden he felt a hand on his shoulder, then a shock that ran all through his body. "What the Fuck?" the voice said. Josh looked around. Justin has pulled into a burger joint and was at the drive-thru. 'Oh that's right he wanted to get something to eat before the meeting.' Josh thought as his brain started to work. "Christ, Josh you sure need to touch Metal more often. That hurt." Justin said, as he rubbed his hand. "What? Justin what are you talking about?" Josh asked as he rubbed his eyes. "I just got one hell of a shock from you." Justin explained. "Sorry, guess I have a shocking personality." Josh said with a chuckle. "Yea, you do look like Frankenstein's monster." Justin joked. "Well at lest I don't look like the Bride of Frankenstein." Josh shot back. Justin punched Josh in the shoulder. "Hey! You jerk. Well what do you want?" Justin asked. "Um.... Coffee! Yes, coffee sounds great, oh and two cheese burgers and some French fries." Josh said as his stomach woke up and told him it was time to eat. "Sure" Justin said as he pulled up to the speaker and gave their order. Josh sat back in this seat and thought more on the dream. ' Something tells me that really happen, but how? It has something to do with Mark I'm sure of it. What is Mark up to? Wayne seemed not to know that Mark was there. I wonder...' "Josh who is Wayne?" Justin interrupted Josh's thoughts. Josh felt a chill run down his spine. "What did you say?" Josh said. "I said Who is Wayne? You were talking in your sleep and I heard you say the Name." Justin said as he looked over at Josh. "Oh, Well....." Josh started "He is a friend of Terries'. He is coming down to see her, and Terri wants me to meet him. He is Her best friend." "So is he one of her old boyfriends?" Justin asked. "No. I don't think so, what Terri said about him is that they grew-up together. He has lost someone special to him, three years ago." Josh said. "Oh, I'm sorry to here that. Well then I think we need to do something for him, How about we take him and Terri out clubbing when he get's here." Justin asked. "You Know Curly, You do have a very big Heart. I think that is a very good Idea. We will have to ask the other guys, see if they would like to come to." Josh said. 'Just hope that I can get Wayne to like me before he meets the other's I don't want to lose him. Did I just think that? OK, Josh want do you really feel towards Wayne?' Josh thought to himself as Justin drove up and got their order. lucky for them no Teen age girl was working the drive-thru. Josh didn't want to put up with screaming girls right now. A little bit later they got to Lance's house and went in. "Well if it is not the long lost J.C.. Been hiding from us?" Joey asked as he gave Josh a hug when he came in the door. "He, Has a Girlfriend, so he doesn't have time for us anymore." Justin said with a grin. "Who has a Girlfriend?" Lance said when he stepped into the room. "Some one has a Girlfriend! Oh this I have to hear." Chris's voice came from the living room, then soon after he joined them. Josh punched Justin, and blushed. "Thanks, Curly." Josh said. "Hey, they need to know. I mean she is going to be your wife!" Justin said, then ran for the living room as Josh yelled. "Oh you are so going to get it." "Wife! We haven't even met her. You can't get married with out us meeting her first." Lance said. Josh stopped and turned to Lance and the other guys. "I'm not getting Married! Jezz I just meet her a few weeks ago." Josh said. "So what is her name?" Lance asked. "What does she look like?" Chris asked. "Does she have a sister?" Joey asked. "When do we get to meet her?" they all asked. "Whoa, One question at a time please. Her name is Terri. She looks like an angel with ever changing hair color 'it is her thing'. No she does not have a sister, she is an only child, as for meeting her. Well me a Justin was talking about that in the car." Josh explained. "So, what do you have in Mind?" Lance asked. "Well, her best friend is coming in to town and me and Justin was thinking we could take Terri and her friend out clubbing." Josh said. "That sounds ok, so who is this friend?" Lance asked. "His name is Wayne." Josh said. "It is because of Wayne that we where thinking of taking them out." Justin said as he came back into the room. "Why?" Chris and Joey asked at the same time. "Wayne has lost someone very close to him three years ago and finely is coming down to see Terri." Josh said. "God that sucks." Joey said. "Hey! Watch your mouth Joey." Lance said. "Sorry Lance it slipped." Joey said sheepishly. "Just don't let it happen again around me." Lance said. "Lance Chill." Justin said. "Uh. Curly. Don't go there." Josh whispered to Justin. "Chill! I will not Chill. You all should Show some respect, when it comes to God." Josh groaned. 'Oh, great here we go again. I mean I love *God*, but Lance takes it a little to far.' Josh thought. Josh and the guys zoned out while Lance gave his Lecture about the respect they all should show *God*. thirty minutes later Josh said. "Um.. Lance. Don't we have a meeting to do?" Lance gave Josh a look that said *this is not over*. "Your right, J.C. Ok everyone lets go and get this over with." lance said. "Josh you cut up the veggies Justin you go start the grill. Joey go set up the table. Chris you have the dishes." lance said as they walked into the kitchen. Josh, and the guys all like the meeting at Lance's because Lance would cook for them and they could relax. The meeting with Management was almost sterile compared to their meeting. the meeting lasted about 4 hours and was just about over when Lance said. "Um.. guys I have something to ask you." "Oh no." the guys said in union. "What?" lance asked. "Lance we know you. When you leave something for the end, it means that it is important to you and is going to cost us." Josh said with a smile. "OK, Scoop what did you get us into this time?" Justin asked. "Oh come on, its not that bad. I was just talk to a friend, and they asked if we could do a concert for church function." Lance said in a small voice. "Sigh! So let me guess, you said we would do this for free right, and didn't talk to management about it either right." Chris asked. "Your right." Lance said in even a smaller voice. "LANCE! Come on Scoop we talked about this before. We can't keep doing the free gigs." Joey said. "Come on guys it is for charity." Lance said. "What church function?" Josh asked. "It is for a southern Baptist church" Lance said. "While I don't know about this Scoop." Justin said. "Yea, Scoop. I'm with Justin.' Chris and Joey said. "Hey, guys I think this could be good for our image." Josh said. "Thanks Josh." Lance said with a smile. "OK, if Josh thinks it is ok we will do it, but I have a bad feeling about this." Justin said. "When don't you Curly." everyone said at once, and the laughed. "All right who want's to go out after the autograph signing at the mall?" Joey said. Everyone raised their hands. The meeting broke up and they all left to get ready. Josh reminded himself that he had to call Wayne tonight so he better not stay out to late. __________________________________________________________ MARK 'What have I done?' Mark kept thinking over and over. "I will tell you want you are done?" A voice said from behind Mark. Mark turned, standing a few feet away for mark was a tall shadowy form. Mark knew him, or her, it was the entity that taught Mark about being a spirit. "Can you really tell me what I did?" Mark asked. there was a trace of hope in his voice. "Oh, yes I can. YOU ROYALLY SCREWED UP." Mark's teacher said, There was a rumble from all around, and a chill ran down Marks spine. "What do you mean?" Mark said with fear in his voice. "You broke the two most important rules." The Teacher said. "What? I didn't break the rules." Mark said. "Yes you did. Do you Remember, when I taught you to go into someone's dream? I told you never to take the two dreamer's out for there dreams. You asked why. I told you that they would most likely would touch and that is something that can't happen. Now do you remember?" The Teacher explained. "Yes, I do. It was.. I had.... Oh God what did I do?" Mark stuttered. "You. It is all about you. Never about anyone but you. You wanted Wayne to let you go. You decided the only way to get Wayne to let you go was to make him fall in love with someone else. I know you Love him. You are only looking out for his best interest. What you have do will have repercussion down the road. How could you have been so stupid?" The Teacher said. "I could not see Wayne get hurt more by Rex. He was starting to live in the here and now." Mark explained "Did you ever think that Wayne was healing the hole you left? Did you ever listen to Wayne as he talked to Josh. He was Healing, He like the Kiss he wanted it never to stop." The Teacher said. "But Rex is not for Wayne." Mark cried. "Oh, Mark give it a rest. Wayne would not fall for Rex again. He liked the Kiss, he was thinking of the kiss a man shares with another man when they love each other. Not the Kiss from Rex. Mark Wayne was releasing the bond that you share. You were about to go to the other side, but you screwed your chance. Do you even know what you did. Why there is those rules. When you take someone from their dream you are separating their Astral-self from their body. This place that we are in is The Astral Plane. You brought Wayne and Josh's Astral-selves here. When they touched their Soul's bond together. That is the lines you see. "Now here this. You and Wayne are Soul mates, your souls are bond together. There is only one soul mate for each other. So you have Screwed the Soul mate of Josh. Josh's soul mate never got the chance to meet Josh yet, and now will never get the chance. "Can't you remove the bond?" Mark asked. "NO! If The Powers That Be did that they would hurt Wayne and Josh both spiritually and Mentally. So they did the only thing they could." "What is that?" Mark asked, fearing the answer. "They have added you to the Bond. You are charged with keeping an eye on them and be their Spirit guide. You are stripped of all your powers except the power link with someone so you can enter there dreams, like you used on Josh, but you can not use that power unless someone is hurting your charges. Also you will have no control of their dreams you can only talk to the person in their dreams." The Teacher explained. Mark was ashamed with himself, and shocked that he has cost Josh his original soul mate. "What will happen with Josh's soul mate?" Mark asked. "That I can't say. Just know that he is being taken care of, and that he will know love." The Teacher said. "I will do as you say, and do my best to keep the safe." Mark said. "I trust you will. You don't understand yet, but you will. Wayne and Josh is in for some serious trouble and you are the one who caused it." with that The Teacher turned and left. "Wayne, Josh. I'm so sorry." Mark cried out load but no one heard him. __________________________________________________________ WAYNE Wayne was just pulling in to a Motel for the night when his Cell phone started ringing. 'It is one a.m. who would be calling me this late?' Wayne thought. He reach for his cell phone on the seat, opens the phone and puts it to his ear. "Hello?" Wayne asks. "He.. Hello Wayne how are you?" the voice on the phone said. Wayne remembered the voice from the phone call yesterday and from his dream. "Josh?" Wayne asked. "Yea hi." Josh said. "How did you get this number? Wait Terri gave it to you Right?" Wayne asked. "Yea, she said I should get to know you, before you get here." Josh said. "I don't think so I am sort of tired. I have been driving for about eight hours and I need to get my sleep." Wayne said. 'I'm going to kill Terri when I get hold of her.' Wayne thought. "Wayne. Terri told me to tell you if you and I don't talk, she said, and I quote *I will rip out his intestines and play cat's cradle with them.*. I would not like to see that, I would like to see you and get to know you better not to go to your funeral." Josh said with a laugh. "OK! You win. Call me back it twenty minutes I just pulled into a motel and need to get my room and settle in." Wayne said. "Wayne if it's to much trouble for you I can call you tomorrow?" Josh said. Wayne could hear that Josh was hurt. Wayne felt bad, he didn't want to hurt Josh. "Josh, I'm sorry. I just had a bad day with all the stupid drivers on the road and not to mention what happen this afternoon." Wayne said. "Don't let Rex get to you Wayne, it was only a kiss." Josh said. Wayne felt a shiver run down his spine. 'Did I hear that right? How does Josh know about Rex and the kiss.' Wayne thought. "How the hell did you know about Rex and the Kiss!" Wayne exclaimed. 'Oh, shit. Why did I say that?' Josh thought. 'This is too weird, me and Wayne did have the same dream.' "Um.. Huh... Well I dreamed that me and you talked about it." Josh said a little sheepishly. 'How is that possible I don't even know him. Mark, and my Mother was the only two that I have ever brought into my dream's. Now I've brought Josh into my dream. Why?' Wayne thought. "Josh, call me back please I need to think, just know that I'm sorry for doing that to you." Wayne said. "Why are you sorry?" pause "Ok I will call in about twenty minutes. then I want you to tell me what you are talking about." Josh said. "Sure I will try to explain to you what happen." Wayne said. "I just hope you don't get scared and not want any thing to to with me, I don't think I can live without you." Wayne said. 'Oh God! what did I just say?' Wayne thought. Wayne quickly hang's up the phone. Grabs his laptop from the back seat and locks up baby. Goes to the trunk and grabs one of his suitcases and heads to the front desk. After getting to his room, he sets down on the bed and thinks. 'Ok, what is going on with me? Did I mean what I said to Josh? Is that why I drawn him to my dream? I'm I in Love with him?' Wayne looks deep into himself and finds the answer's looking back at him. "I AM! I don't understand how, but I'm in Love with Josh." Wayne said a loud. TBC.
