“Thanks guys but it's really okay, I can carry them,” Dasia said taking her bags away from them. “By the way, thanks for everything.”

She gave them all a hug then smiled at Joey who ran up to the first ski bunny he saw.

“Hi I'm Dasianna Waters from #14, I'm here to get my key, and do you know if my other two room mates have checked in yet?”

“Just a moment,” said the clerk.

While was looking it up on his computer, Dasia turned around just in time to see Joey get slapped across the face. She couldn't hold in her smile and broke into laughter. As the woman was walking away, Dasia realized she knew her.

“TIFFANY?” she hollered across the room.

Tiffany quickly turned around to see who had called her name.

“Dasia finally you're here!”

They ran up and gave each other a huge hug.

“Is Kristi here yet?”

“Uh huh. She got here about an hour ago. She's at the cabin now. You ready to go?”

“Yup.”

Joey stood there in shock, with his hand over the spot where he had been hit. “You know each other?” he asked as the girls were about to walk away.

“Joey this is Tiffany. Tif that would be Joey,” she said introducing them.

“Yeah we met,” Joey said taking a step away from Tiffany.

“Well Joey, thanks again but we really gotta go.” Dasia gave him a quick hug then ran up to the counter to get her keys.

~~~

“Kristi!” Dasia called out as she entered the cabin, setting her suitcases down in her room. She took a second look around the place. It had been a while she was in there and it looked exactly the way they had left it.

Well maybe a little cleaner.

She smiled at the memories of it being a lot cleaner. On their last visit, somehow they thought it would be fun if they invited as many people from the lodge to their cabin as possible for a party. One thing led to another and a huge food fight broke out.

Kristi was cleaning bean dip and double trouble chocolate cake out of her hair for the next 3 days, while Tiffany was busy trying to get soda and every other food that happened to be at the party out of her clothes. In the end, they had to pay to get the carpet washed, but they didn't really mind, they had so much fun that night, it was worth it.

“I’m in here,” Kristi called out from the bathroom, where she had been playing with her hair. “So Tif what took you so long to get back?”

“I went down to see if Das was here yet and some pervert came on to me.”

“He's not a pervert. More of a flirt and he's actually a pretty nice guy. Just get to know them.”

“Oh and how do you know this?” asked a curious Kristi.

“They gave me a ride up here, that's all.”

“Go back. Whose they?”

“Justin, Lance, Joey, Chris, and JC. I met them on the plane and they offered me a ride since the car rental place didn't have a car for me so I said what the heck.”

“Let me get this straight, you got a ride here from NSYNC?”

“Yeah, but how'd you know it was them?”

“The only Justin, Lance, Joey, Chris, and JC that can be together can only be NSYNC. That's the group I told you is awesome. I went to their concert and got autographs and Justin winked at me last time they were in New York.”

“Yeah yeah, well Justin gave me half his peanuts on the plane so HA,” teased Dasia.

“So Joey used a pick up line on me,” Tiffany said trying to join in.

They all broke into laughter at the conversation. Kristi and Dasia needed to pit their stuff away so they chose Tiffany to make them some hot chocolate.

“Hey guys, I'd love to help you but we're out of chocolate and we kinda need that hence the term hot ‘chocolate.’”

“Then how about you go to #13 and ask them for some?” stated Kristi.

“How about no.”

“How about you get your butt over there or we'll throw you in snow,” said Dasia.

“Yeah in your underwear,” added Kristi.

“Alright, alright, I'm going! Ugh. Just let me change my shirt okay? You never know what kind of cuties could be over there.”

“Hey that's right! Maybe I should come alone just to make sure you find your way, that is,” smiled Kristi.

“Well if you go, we'll all go. Besides we have two weeks to unpack, so lets just fix ourselves up a bit before we go.”

~~5 minutes later~~

“No one is answering,” Kristi said knocking on the door again.

“Should we just go back?” Tiffany asked.

“I really wanted hot chocolate,” Kristi pouted.

“Why don't we go over to #12 to see if they have any and if they don't, we can go back,” spoke Dasia.

“That will work.” Kristi started running.

~~~

~~10 Minutes Later~~

“Hello,” called out Lance trying to get the clerks attention.

“Yes sir, may I help you?”

“Yes we're here to get the keys to our cabin.”

“What's the name?”

“Of the cabin?” he asked confused.

“No sir, of you.”

“Oh I'm Lance Bass.”

“Accompanied by a Kirkpatrick, Timberlake, Chasez, and Fatone. Correct?”

“That'd be us.”

“You're in #12. Here's your keys.”

Lance took the keys and went back to the guys.

“Boy these places are huge,” whistled Joey.

“Do you guys wanna put our stuff away and then go get something to eat?” asked JC.

“Sounds good but first I need to call Claire.”

“Come on, I thought you came here to get away from the banshee.”

“No Chris, you came here to get away from the banshee, I mean Claire. And will you stop calling her that? It hurts her feelings,” Justin said.

“Who knew she had any,” muttered Chris.

Justin shook his head and grabbed the phone to call her.

“Hello?”

“Hi Sweetie, how are you?”

“Hi Justin. I'm great. How was your trip?” Claire replied.

“It was okay, but I miss you.”

“Really? Ah that's so sweet but listen I really gotta go. I have tennis practice in thirty minutes and I want to get there early so talk to you later.”

“Umm alright. I guess I'll talk to you later then.”

“Bye babe.”

“Bye Claire, I love…” Before he could finish the sentence, it was interrupted by the dial tone. She had been very distant lately. He was reluctant to take this trip away from her, it would only add space between them and he didn't want that.

“So what did she have to say?”

“Not much she was in a hurry.”

“I wouldn't worry about the banshee too much, she probably just had another house to haunt.”

Before Justin could say anything, there was a knock at the door. All five men ran towards the door.

“I got it.”

“Coming.”

“I'll get it.”

“No me.”

“Get out of my way.”

~~~

“What do you think is going on in there?”

“I don't know, listen.”

The three girls stood in silence :::::THUD:::::::THUD:::::::THUD. Five guys went crashing into the door.

“OMPH.”

“Move outta the way!”

“Just open the door already!”

Kristi, Dasia, and Tiffany couldn't stop laughing, then the door opened and they saw who it was.

“Dasia, what are you doing here?” JC questioned.

“We thought we'd ask our new neighbours if they any hot chocolate. But we had no clue it was you guys. Geez, I only met you this morning, and now I can't get rid of you,” she said still laughing.

“Oh my God you have a huge bump on your head, let me put some ice on that,” said Kristi.

“The ice is in the kitchen,” he said leading her into the other room.

“You guys this is Tiffany. Tiffany this is Lance, Joey, Chris, and Justin.”

“Nice to meet you,” she said shaking their hands.

“Do you want to sit down?” offered Lance.

All six walked into the larger room and sat on the couches.

~~~

“Stop being a baby and hold still for a minute,” Kristi said trying to get JC to hold still. She had wrapped ice in a napkin and was holding it to his head but was having trouble keeping it there because he kept complaining it was too cold.

“What did you say your name was?”

“I never said my name.”

“Oh then maybe we should introduce ourselves,” he said with a smile. “I'm JC.”

“I'm Kristi.”

“So how long are you guys staying here?”

"Two weeks. What about you?”

“Twelve days.”

There was a moment of silence.

“Think we should go back out there before they start to worry?” asked Kristi.

“No. I think we should let them worry.”

~~~

“Anybody thirsty?” Chris asked.

“Very.”

“Yeah.”

“Justin, go get us something to drink,” ordered Joey.

“Yeah right. Get it yourself. Isn't JC in there? Tell him to get it.”

“I got a better idea,” Chris smirked.

“And what would that be?” Justin asked.

“Ya'll wanna go out and eat?”

“Sure I'm pretty hungry. Let me run back and get my money,” Dasia said.

“Don't worry about it, it's my treat,” Chris said.

“Are you sure? I won't take that long.”

“No let's just go before it's too late to call this lunch.”
