Inner Child (SHORT STORY)

Disclaimer: Even though I would really like to I don�t know, are related to� blah blah blah anything or anyone in Nsync or surrounding Nsync. Its pure fun and no harm intended.

Summary: During a short pit stop while touring the Nsync guys get in touch with their Inner Child.

***************************************************************************

�PIT STOP!� Chris yelled bounding into the small living room of the bus they were travelling to city their next concert was in.

�Huh?� JC asked distracted looking up from the book he was reading.

Justin continued to watch the movie he had been watching as if he hadn�t even noticed Chris was in the room.

�Pit Stop! We�ve been on these buses for hours! I need to get out and stretch for a bit.�

�You�re going to have to fight Lance for it Chris you know how he is about schedules and being on time.� Justin said not even looking away from the movie.

�Oh.� Chris said face falling slightly before going right back into a smile. �We just won�t give him a chance to object to it. Look! There is an exit coming we can get off there and find somewhere to stop for a few minutes.� He said pointing at the passing sign and taking off to tell the bus driver to stop.

Justin and JC listened quietly as the two men argued over it.

�Come on James. Just twenty minutes. We can afford twenty minutes.� Came Chris�s voice from the front of the bus.

�We are on a tight schedule Chris unless you can clear it with the guys on the other bus then it�s a no go it isn�t on our scheduled stops.� The bus driver said. �Plus the only thing around here are really small towns that I doubt have anything open at 1am.�

�Come on James� I took the blame for your when you wanted to stop at that 7 eleven a few cities ago for a slurpee, I�m calling in the favour.�

A few moments later Chris came back through the curtains grinning triumphantly.

�Better get ready to get off. We�re stopping in ten.�

***

Fifteen minutes later the two Nsync buses pulled up beside a well lit but deserted play ground, specially selected by Chris.

�Why are we stopping here?� Lance grumbled as he got off the other bus with Joey and met up with the other three.

�I don�t know. Something about a pit stop.� JC said stretching.

�Cool! I haven�t been on a playground in years!� Chris exclaimed spying the various playground equipment and taking off towards it with Justin and Joey in tow.

�OF COURSE YOU HAVEN�T YOU ARE ALMOST 30 YEARS OLD FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!� Lance yelled after them but followed slowly with JC none the less.

�Come on Bass loosen up. Get in touch with your inner child.� Chris said laughing as he climbed up the slide.

�Well�� Lance said coming to stand at the end of the slide watching as Chris slid down nearly knocking him off his feet. �The last time I checked I was a little to old to be playing on a children�s playground and getting in touch with my inner child Chris. Not to mention we have a schedule to maintain. Johnny will kill us if we are late.�

�Oh come on Lance, twenty minutes is not going to make us late I know for a fact that we worked in at least an hour to spare.� Joey said from playing on the teeter-totter with Justin.

�I bet you were one of those kids that never really liked going to the park because you�d get sand all over you.� Chris said with a laugh.

�Oh that�s really nice Chris.� Lance said rolling his eyes moving over to the swings and sitting down.

�I noticed you didn�t deny it.� Justin chimed in having moved onto the monkey bars. He laughed as Lance stuck out his tongue at him.

�For the record I�m not the only one who isn�t getting in touch with his inner child.� Lance said rolling his eyes again and pointing to over where JC had settled himself on the tire swing and apparently fallen asleep.

�Oh that�s easy enough to fix.� Joey said beckoning Lance over to help him.

Lance raised an eyebrow but followed over to where JC was none the less. He watched in confusion as Joey started to slowly spin the tire around causing the chain to twist above JC.

�Well don�t just stand there Lance help me.� Joey said.

Grinning Lance started to help Joey spin the tire around until it wouldn�t spin anymore.

�Ready?� Joey asked holding onto one side of the tire.

�Ready.� Lance echoed holding onto the other side. Chris and Justin were watching from the top of the jungle gym.

�Ok. On the count of three. 1� 2� 3!�

At the same time Lance and Joey let go of the twisted tire stepping back and watching as it worked to untwist itself, spinning JC around rapidly in the process, waking the slender brunette out of his doze.

�What the?� JC yelled startled trying to scramble out of the tire but unable to while it was still spinning rapidly. �Guys this isn�t funny! Stop this thing! I think I�m going to be sick!� JC continued to yell over the laughter of the other four guys.

Eventually the tire stopped spinning and JC was able to stumble out of it, falling to the ground unable to keep his feet after all the spinning. The others were laughing so hard that they had yet to notice their band mate was no longer spinning round and round uncontrollably.

�Once the world stops spinning you guys are dead.� JC said through clinched teeth.

The other four toke off quickly towards the buses as JC took up the chase, laughing all the way.
