The girls all kind of look from one boy to the other and then retreat behind Kevin and JC. JC speaks up, "Guys could you all please just sit down? All the talking at once is kinda making the girls a bit nervous. Thanks. Now. Guys I'd like you to meet Allison, Alexis and Ashlyn. Girls this is, starting with the guy with the long hair and working our way around the table. Howie Dorough, Chris Kirkpatrick, Alexander "AJ" McClean, Joseph Fatone, Jr., Lance Bass, Nick Carter, Brian Littrell, and Justin Timberlake."

"Hey JC, you forgot the tall ugly guy next to you," Joey quips.

"Joe! I believe you know who he is." JC snaps.

"Cool. So you guys really are brothers huh?" AJ asks. "It makes sense. Your bios are almost identical. The only differences are the height and eye color."

Nick smacks AJ in the back of the head and whispers, "I wonder just how much alike they really are? If you know what I'm saying? You know, below the belt? I wonder if JC swings for our team or the other team?"

"Dude, the way he's been eyeing Lance since he walked in this room? Do you even have to ask a question like that? That boy is as straight as you and Kevin." AJ returns.

"Excuse me gentlemen," Mallory interrupts as she enters the room. "I'm sorry but your time is up. I need this room for another family."

"That's cool. Thanks for letting us gather her." Kevin says. "So what do we do now?"

"Well. We could all go somewhere and talk for awhile. Maybe get to know each other a bit." Allison recommends.

"Hey, Jayce?" Lance says.

"Yeah, Lance." JC smiles.

"We could go back to the house. It is nearby and it's big enough that everybody could crash there for a couple of days if they wanted. Even the girls or there is a hotel nearby if they don't feel comfortable staying in a house with 10 men." Lance offers.

Well, what do you say?" JC says looking at Kevin and the girls.

"I'm game." Kevin answers

"There is a hotel close by?" Ashlyn questions. "I don't think I could handle staying with all of you [shy smile]. No offense or anything but I don't know any of you and just because you two are my brothers that don't mean allot right now."

"No, that's cool. Lance could you check with the hotel and see if they have any rooms?" JC asks.

"Sure. How many rooms should I book? Three?" He looks at the girls. They all nod. "Ok, three rooms it is. I'm on it C."

"Thanks Scoop." JC smiles and blushes. (I wish you were on something else.)

Alexis, who is standing next to JC whispers, "He's kinda cute, isn't he?"

"Yeah, I mean..." JC stumbles.

"Relax. I'm fine with it. Looks like Kevin has a thing for that tall, blond guy over there. They keep starring at each other. Are you guys really in singing groups? Your friends don't really look the type. Especially the guy with the braces and dreads. How old is he anyway?" Alexis asks.

"Oh, Chris? Well, he's about 14 days younger than Kevin. he acts younger than Justin though." JC answers.

"So are any of you guys straight?"

"I don't know about the Backstreet Boys but as for my group, Nsync, I'm afraid the answer is no. We're all either bi or gay." JC replies.

"Hey, JC?" Lance yells.

"Huh? Yeah? What's up?

"Dude we gotta go. Mallory needs the room. I already gave the guys the address and we're taking Alexis and Ashlyn back with us. You ready?"

"Yeah. We gotta stop at the store though. There ain't nothing in the house to eat. With all these people staying there we're gonna need a ton of food. You better give Joey the keys and we'll meet them there."

"Hey, why don't you ride with me, JC? We can stop at the store and Lance can take the girls with him. That way he don't have to trust the keys to his house with one of your crazy friends." Kevin offers.

"Oh, Christ." Brian and Justin mutter at the same time.

"They're gonna come back with the whole damn store." Justin whines.

"Maybe we should go with them." Brian offers. "That way we can get to know each other and keep them from buying the entire store. What do you say?"

"Probably wouldn't be a bad idea." Justin answers. "Hey, C? Can Brian and I ride along with you guys? I rode with Joey anyway remember? He's taking Chris and Howie back with him and I REALLY don't want to watch them all the way back to your house."

"Sure." Kevin says. "Lets go."

They all divide up and head out to the cars.

****At the house about 3 hours later****

"OH FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! DON'T TOUCH THAT! GET OUT! JUST GET OUT!" JC yells.

"NO. I'M NOT LEAVING YOU ALONE IN HERE. YOU'LL PROBABLY TRY TO POISON US OR SOMETHING." Kevin yells back.

"I SAID GET OUT! GET YOUR FUCKING ASS OUT OF MY FUCKING KITCHEN RIGHT NOW!!!" JC screams.

"FINE. FUCK YOU! YOU LITTLE PRICK! God. I can't believe I'm related to that little shithead." Kevin mumbles as he heads for the living room.

The rest of the guys and the girls are all sitting in the living room staring towards the kitchen.

"Shit." Lance swears. "I better go check on him." "JC, you ok?"

"Yeah, just keep that jerk out of the kitchen. I can't believe HE was trying to tell me how to cook this stuff. Who the hell does he think he is?"

Lance moves behind JC and puts his arms around him. "Calm down, baby. You guys need to try to get along, at least while the girls are here. Can you put up with him for that long? For me, baby?"

JC smiles and says, "I'll try but I can't make any promises. He is such a jerk. Why did it have to be him? Why not somebody from 98 Degrees or that groups 5ive? They don't seem like that bad of guys. Why Kevin? What awful thing did I do to deserve him?"

"I don't know but please try to be nice. I know you can do it. I'll try my best to keep him out of here, if that will help at all?"

"Thanks Lance. You really are a great friend." JC smiles, "Well, you're more than a friend but, you know what I mean."

"Yeah, [Lance smiles] I know what you mean. How much longer til dinner is ready?"

"Should be another 20 minutes or so. Why don't you go back out and even up the odds out there? I don't want the Backstreet Boys tearing up the house or anything and you know Joe, Chris and Justin'll just help them instead of trying to stop them."

"You sure?"

"Yeah. Go on." JC says as he kisses Lance on the cheek. "I'll call you when it's done. Why don't you send a couple of the guys in to set the table and stuff? Just not Kevin, ok?"

"Sounds like a plan. I'll send Justin and Brian, they seemed to be pretty involved in conversation when I came in here." He leaves the kitchen. "Hey, Justin, Brian? Can you guys go set the table, please? Thanks."

They get up and set the table.

*****After dinner****

The guys are all sprawled across the floor. Joey and AJ have left to take the girls back to the hotel and are just returning.

"So, JC? Lance?" Nick speaks up."What are the sleeping arrangements? I'm pretty sure ya'll don't have a ten bedroom house so what's up?"

"Well, I don't really know." Lance answers. "Does anyone have any preferences? I know JC and I'll be sharing a room."

Chris and Justin look at each other and mouth, "It's about damn time."

"Damn. When did you two hook up?" Howie asks.

"Right before we left for Germany." JC answers with a slight blush. Lance is turning redder by the minute. JC puts his arm around him. "You knew they'd find out sooner or later, baby."

"I know. I just didn't want to think about it that's all." Lance answers. "Next time I'll think before I volunteer us to host a bunch of people."

(He is so adorable when he blushes. I wonder if anyone would mind if I kissed him right now? I better wait. Don't want to gross anybody out.)

"Ok, so we have JC and Lance. I'm assuming you two want to be together?" Kevin says looking to Chris and Howie. "I know I'm not sleeping without Nick here."

"Ok, so Chris...." Lance starts and is cut off by Joey and AJ entering.

"Dude man. They're cute but they don't have nothing on you. You got one fine ass, AJ." Joey says and then turns 3 shades of red when he realizes everyone in the room heard that last sentence. "Oh, hey guys. What's up?"

"Yeah, so what did we miss?" AJ says trying to change the topic quickly.

"Well. We were just trying to figure out the sleeping arrangements. You see there are ten guys and only five bedrooms. So we are trying to figure out who is staying with who. We have it narrowed down a bit." Lance rattles.

JC reaches over and puts his hand on Lances shoulder, "Shh, baby, breath. We have Chris and Howie in one room. Kevin and Nick, and me and Lance. Do you two have any preferences?"

"I would like to share a room with Brian if that is ok with him. We have been...." Justin says quietly.

"I'd be happy to share a room with you." Brian says cutting him off.

"Ok, well that leaves you two to a room. Everybody follow me and I'll show you to your rooms." Lance states.
