******The Next Morning**********
"Joey? Have you seen....." Justin asks as he lets himself into the room. "Oh shit." He backs out and quietly shuts the door.
"So...does he know where JC is?" Lance asks.
"He's still asleep aand his date is still there."
"What? Joey never lets them stay."
"Well, he did this time."
"Really, I wanna see," Chris exclaims while trying to get past Justin.
"Just leave them alone." Justin growls.
"Come on Chris," Lance grabs Chri's shoulder. "We still gotta find JC and see if Joey's told him about this mystery girl."
"Something tells me JC knows more than he's gonna tell you," Justin whispers.
"What?" Lance asks.
"Nothing, I didn't say a word."
Lance and Chris wander off down the hall. Justin turns around and pounds on the door.
"Joey," he yells. "Open the door."
The door is opened slightly, "What?"
"Man, let me in. We gotta talk."
"No man, I'm not alone."
"I know. That's what we need to talk about."
"I'm not letting you in Justin. Now go on. We can talk later."
Justin leans in and whispers, "Look, Joe, I know who Rose really is. Now let me in before Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum come back."
"What are you...."
"Let him in Joe," JC says from the bed. "It's ok."
Joey steps back and allows Justin to enter the room, then joins JC on the bed.
"So..." Justin begins. "How long has this been going on?"
"You might want to take a seat J." Joey states.
JC looks at Joey, "Why don't you go shower. I'll handle this."
"Ok," Joey leans in and kisses JC. "Love you."
"Love you too." JC smiles and watches Joey gather his stuff and enter the bathroom.
As soon as the door shuts, "You really love him a lot don't you?"
"More than music, J."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I wanted to make sure it wasn't just another fling for him and I guess that's what he was waiting for. We were just talking about telling you guys. If that makes you feel any better."
"So are you guys pretty sure this is something you both want?"
"Yes, we've decided it's time to come out and tell our families."
"So.... I just have to know something though."
"What's that J?"
"Why are you dressing up as a woman?"
"Because, if I'm a woman the fans won't think anything of it. We can dance, kiss, whatever and no-one is any the wiser. If I'm me, we, Nsync are destroyed. If that's what it takes for me to be out in public with him then I'm willing to make that sacrifice."
"He's a lucky guy. I hope he knows just how lucky he is."
"Oh, I know. Don't worry J. I know." Joey states, stepping into the room.
"Well, I guess I'll leave you two alone for a bit." Justin opens the door then turns back around, "I wouldn't waste much time letting the others know. If Chris figures it out in public, it could get nasty."
"We're gonna tell them on the bus today." Joey states.
