| Chapter 5 � 11:49am The Next Morning �Let�s go look over here,� Britney suggested looking at the bags that were next to the bras, pajamas, and maternity. �I like this bra. Looks comfortable.� �Yeah,� Crystal said ready to drop, watching Britney turn a corner. �Guys, can we go get something to eat? I�m hungry and tired again.� �Well at least you aren�t pregnant,� Britney said rounding the corner holding a maternity shirt up to her flat stomach. She turned her head to the side to see it from an angle. "What do you think?� *~* Meanwhile� *~* �Johnny,� Lance begged. �We will make it to the next city if we leave here at 2am and that�s if we stop 3 times for 10 minutes each time.� �Please let us have this with the girls,� Justin pleaded. �We promise. You can even call us and tell us to get our butts moving.� �On one condition,� Johnny started. �Don�t think I�m kidding either. ONE CONDITION� you are leaving at 1:00 o�clock am.� �Deal,� JC said. �That�s 3 hours. No problem.� �Okay,� Johnny said. �Now, back to sound check. We have a stadium full of excited teenage girls.� �Like always,� Chris added. About 3 Hours Later� �Brit,� Crystal said handing her a pregnancy test. �You have to do this to make sure you aren�t just late.� �Then you all have to do one too,� Britney said looking between Chrissy and Crystal�s gazes. �I won�t if you don�t.� �Okay,� Chrissy said. �If this is the only way.� �It is,� Britney assured herself. �Let�s get out of here,� Crystal said pushing the half-full cart toward one of the checkouts at a grocery store. �Chrissy put on your sunglasses. They�re going to recognize us. Brit, fix your wig.� �Good afternoon, ladies,� A man with the name-tag, �Todd�, said. �You all look so familiar. I can�t place you.� Crystal heard �This I Promise You� come on the radio and then saw the young man begin to lip sync the words as they came along the melody. He was no older then 16 with 5�9� about 150 pounds with sandy brown hair and hazel eyes. �Know this song?� �My sister loves *Nsync and I get to listen to all the CD�s,� Todd said smiling. �I�m not a fan, but I like some of the music. It�s really good. You know about them?� �Yeah,� Chrissy said with a southern drawl to add effect. �She ever been to a concert? How old is she? Who is her favorite?� Chrissy continued to unload the cart as Britney packed and Crystal watched the prices on the machine. �Her name is Heather and she is almost 7. I think her favorite is JC. She has his picture plastered all over her room and the house. There is a picture in the bathroom too! She�s cute. Do you want to see a picture?� �Yeah,� Crystal cooed. Todd took his wallet out of his pocket and held up a small picture of a small, young girl. She had dirty blond hair and brown eyes. The cutest little cheeks and two dimples on either side of her small mouth. �She�s so cute,� Britney said. �I hope mine comes out to be that cute too.� �Wait,� Chrissy said, taking her sunglasses off. �We are Nsync�s girlfriends. I want to give you 4 tickets for tonight�s show. Is that okay?� �Well,� Todd began stunned, taking the 4 front row tickets and 4 backstage passes from Chrissy�s hand. �This is just amazing. Thank you so much. Heather is going to be shocked. Thank you SO much!� �No problem,� Crystal said. �Wait a minute,� Todd said as he continued to ring through the order. �Who are the rest of you?� �Chrissy,� Crystal began. �Chris�s girlfriend, I�m Crystal, Lance�s girlfriend, and this is Britney, Justin�s girlfriend.� �Britney,� Todd began waiting for the last name. �Britney Spears?� �The one and only,� Britney said flashing a fake smile. �What�s up, Todd?� �Your total is $54.95,� Todd said looking at the girls is dismay. �Pa� paper or plastic?� �Paper inside plastic,� Chrissy said smiling. �It holds better.� �Can I pay with a personal check,� Crystal asked. �Yes,� Todd said. �I swear I won�t take the phone number off the check and call you.� Crystal tore the check and handed it to him when all the groceries were in the cart. �Go ahead and try to call me.� Todd looked down. Where it was supposed to be all the personal information, all it read was, �Crystal Bass and Lance Bass� �Are we going to meet you somewhere,� Todd asked looking at the girls. �How will I know?� �The big body guards will meet you at the front gate at 6:05pm, sharp,� Crystal said. �See you later!� |
