�Better Than Best� Chapter 9: Will You?

I stopped in my tracks and looked at Jacob. �Justin? Are you kidding?�

�I�m sorry to be calling you on the spur of the moment, but I heard that you guys were in LA for a few days. We happen to be in LA too. We�re recording songs for our next album,� Justin Timberlake said.

�Oh my goodness. I can�t believe that you want me to work with you! I mean, I�ll have to check to see how busy we are but I�d be honored,� I replied. Jacob was looking at me like I was nuts.

�I totally understand. Lance and JC wanted me to call you because they�re the ones that heard you and had us listen and we�re all stoked to meet you. Can I call you later and make final plans?� he asked.

�Of course. I�ll have my cell on and shouldn�t be doing anything so I�ll be waiting. Thanks so much, Justin, if I can call you that,� I was grinning like crazy.

�You can call me whatever you want to if you�ll do this for us. I�ll call you later,� he replied.

�OK, bye,� I hung up and turned to Jacob again. �That was Justin Timberlake, I think. He wants me to record a track with them for their new album.�

�Oh wow, Jenna. You gotta do it! That�d be so awesome! Then their fans will hear you and want more! Come on let�s find the guys, they gotta hear about this too,� Jacob took my hand and we ran to the parking lot.

We found our van and the guys. �Guess what?� I asked them.

�Jenna are you ok?� Dan asked.

�Yup. Couldn�t be better! I just got off the phone with, get this, Justin Timberlake. Ya know from *NSYNC and they want me to record a track with them for their upcoming album. Can you believe it?�

�Do it! Get in there and show them how it�s done!� Ashley said.

�I totally agree. That is so cool!� Trevor said.

�What do you think?� I asked Mike and Mike.

�When do they want you and where?� Morin asked.

�I don�t know when yet cause Justin is going to call back and tell me when, but they�re in LA too so it shouldn�t be too far from whatever we�re doing,� I said.

�Well if it doesn�t interfere with anything of the things you need to do then sure, go for it!� Cronin said.

�Awesome! I can�t wait for Justin to call. Can I have a copy of our schedule?� I asked.

�Sure,� Cronin handed me a sheet of paper. �Now we gotta go, you have a show tonight.�

We got in the van and drove to a huge stadium. Once inside we did a quick sound check, went through our dances, and got dressed. Apparently they had already chosen my outfit for me. Inside my dressing room was a pair of leather pants, a baby blue tank top that said �cowgirl�, and black leather boots. I was shocked. It was a great outfit. There were platters of food on the coffee table. Muffins, egg rolls, strawberries, bottled water, and so much other food that I got nauseous just looking at it.

I hurried and got dressed and went to find the guys. Ash found me first.

�Jenna, you look great! Did you have food in your room too?� he asked.

�Thanks Ash, you look amazing yourself. Yeah, there was a whole bunch, I ate a few things but it made me sick just looking at it,� I saw Trevor, Jacob, and Dan walking toward us.

�Can you believe they picked out our clothes and fed us?� Trevor asked.

�It�s all good,� Jacob said and laughed.

�We�re on in fifteen minutes,� Dan told us.

We found our way backstage and got ready for a great performance. Mike and Mike joined us and we all wished each other good luck. The stage manager signaled to us.

�You�re on in five� four� three� two... go!� he said.
