Chapter 3: Don't Even Think About It

"Hey, Syd. Having fun?" Lindsay asked, coming up to Sydney. She still had her arm laced through Lance's, and Sydney doubted that the two had been apart the whole time.

"Yeah. Are you two?" She teased. She felt a twinge of jealousy. Lindsay had Lance, and he was gorgeous. Sydney hoped she could find a guy who could love her completely.

"Yeah." Lance said.

"Hey, how about you perform for my brother?" Sydney asked.

"What?" Lance asked, surprised.

"You know, it's his wedding and everything. Maybe you guys can find something to sing for them? It'll make it more memorable."

"That's a great idea!" Lindsay said. Lance seemed uncomfortable.

"Are you sure you're brother would like it?"

"Of course he'd like it!" Lindsay told him, "they can tell their kids that 'N Sync sang at their wedding."

"Alright. But I don't see Justin anywhere." Lance told them. He could see Joey, Chris and JC chatting with some other guests, but his curly haired friend was no where in sight.

"Don't worry, I'll find him for you," Sydney assured him.

Justin smiled at the swooshing sound of the ball going into the net. He imagined he looked weird, playing basketball in his suit but he didn't care.

"Are you Justin?" He heard a female voice ask behind him. With the ball in his hands, he turned around.

"Yeah, aren't you Lindy's sister?"

"Yeah, I'm Sydney." She held out her hand and he shook it. "Why aren't you inside with the rest of the guests?" She asked him curiously.

"Oh, I just don't like weddings I guess." He answered.

"Well that's understandable. A lot of people don't." She commented, watching him take another shot and smile smugly as it went into the net without touching the edges of the rim. "You're really sure of yourself aren't you?" She asked him.

Justin was surprised by her question. He knew a lot of people out there considered him self-absorbed, but no one had ever asked him if he was. "I guess." Was all he could reply. "Why do you ask?"

"Because you seem confident," She told him, taking the ball from him and shooting it towards the basket. The ball went in after hitting the backboard. "And I do have female friends. All they talk about sometimes are Justin Timberlake this, or Justin Timberlake that. It can be quite annoying sometimes."

"And you never talk with them about moi?" Justin inquired, amused. She seemed completely at ease with him.

"No. I'm more of a kid rock kind of girl." She admitted, "no offense."

"None taken."

"Oh, could you do me a huge favor?" She asked, looking at him, her blue eyes searching his.

"Sure." He expected her to ask him to meet a friend, or to give her his signature.

"Could you go inside with the rest of the guys and sing a song for my brother?" She asked, pleading.

"Sure." He answered. She smiled brightly, and grabbed his hand dragging him into the banquet hall.

"You looked pretty friendly with Justin when you two walked in," Lindsay commented teasingly.

"Oh shut up Lindy." Sydney said said, rolling her eyes.

"I'm just saying, you two would make a really cute couple."

"Don't even think about it." The guys were deciding which song to sing, and seemed to finally decide when Lance nodded at Lindsay.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Johnny and my new sister Angie," Lindsay said, smiling at the newly married couple, "we have five guests here who would like to sing a song for you in honor of your marriage. Guys?"

When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surrounds you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength, I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Is standing here all alone...

And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till' the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...

Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no...)
Till' the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you [ohhhh]

Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you, in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all
And I will take (I will take you in my arms)
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Till' the day my life is through
This I promise you ..baby
Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no...)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Every word I say is true,


"This I promise you, Ooh, I promise youuuuu.." Justin sang, his voice ringing out, echoing sweetly. Everyone applauded, including Johnny. Angie's eyes were bright with tears as she took hold of Johnny's hand. 'N Sync bowed, and Lance winked at Lindsay.
