"Hey, you guys ready yet?"  Lance called.  He was sitting in the front room of their hotel room, waiting for the guys to come out.  "We absolutely have to leave in thirty minutes."  They were flying to Denver to spend time with the girls.  "And we have to talk."
One by one, the guys came out of their rooms.  Justin was the last.  Everyone sat down and stared at Lance.
No one said anything for a few minutes; finally Justin broke the silence.
"Why do we have to talk?"
"Justin, we're going to Denver," Chris said.
"Yeah, I know."
"We want you to be civil when we get there."
"I'm always civil."
"No, Justin, you're not," Joey said.  "You're extremely rude to Cat."
"She starts it."
"I don't care.  We want you to be civil.  We want to have a nice Christmas and New Year's," Lance said.  "Chris and I plan on proposing to Liz and Lex and we don't want anything going wrong."
"So you two are going to pop the question?  Congrat's.  I'll be good.  But if she starts anything...."
"Whatever.  Just don't screw up our time."  They left.
