“What are we watching?” Eric yells, jumping over the back of the couch, landing next to Jacob.

“Hey, isn’t that…? What are you watching them for?” Ashley asks coming in from the kitchen.

“Man, I thought we were supposed to hate them?” Dan said.

“Would you all be quiet?”

“I still don’t get it. Why are you watching them?” Eric reiterates.

“That’s cool. Hey you know if any of Nsync is gonna be there?” Dan asks.

“No, I have no idea. Why?” Jacob answers.

“Man, I hope at least one of them shows. We haven’t seen them in a while.” Trevor replies.

“Yeah, that and the last time we saw them you were trying to get in Lance’s pants.” Ashley teases. “Whoa, was that…?”

“Yeah, that was him. Close your mouth before you catch flies boy.” Trevor teases.

“Oh, hush. You all know he’s the hottest one in that group.” Ashley comments.

“No way. I don’t believe it. I thought you liked Chris. What happened?” Jacob asks.

“I do, but can’t help but like that one too. Damn, he’s fine.”

“I hear ya man, but I like that one,”Jacob points to the screen.

“He’s cute but I’d rather get my hands on the other one.” Ashley says.

“Hey,”Eric begins, “Aren’t they cousins or something?”

****In New York****

“So what’s on?” Justin asks coming from the back of the suite.

“Um…Nothing really.” Lance stammers.

“Ok, Scoop, spill, what are you watching? Don’t tell me you’re watching those losers again.” Joey asks from the refrigerator.

“What if he is? Damn, guys leave him alone.” JC defends.

“Why you getting all defensive there Big Daddy?” Chris teases.

“Don’t start with me Christopher!” JC warns.

“Well, you get a call from Backdoor last night and now today you’re defending Lance’s obsession with this group. What’s up with the two of you?” Justin questions.

“Would you all just shut up?” I would like to hear this, if you don’t mind.” Lance states.

“Sorry, Lance. So when was the last time you heard from them anyway?” Joey asks.

“It’s been almost a year. I can’t believe it’s been that long.”

“Shhh. Listen.” Justin interrupts.

This just in:

The following celebrities have signed on to either perform or appear at the Howie Dorough Charity event next Wednesday in Orlando:

O-Town, JC Chasez of Nsync, all the members of Backstreet Boys will be in attendance, Carson Daly, Jennifer Lopez and Sarah Michelle Gellar. This is of course just the latest group of celebrities to sign on for this event…

“Wow, so O-Town’s gonna be there. Too bad you can’t go with JC.” Chris states (I wish I could go. It’s gotta be better than working with Dani.”

“Hey, JC maybe you could get a number where we can reach them while you’re down there.” Joey suggests.

“Yeah, I probably could. Maybe we could do something with them. I’ll see what I can do.” JC answers.

****With Backstreet****

“So…We got JC from Nsync, all of O-Town, who else is coming? Any of the guys from 98 Degrees?” Howie asks.

“Yeah, we got Jeff and Justin coming from them, Dallas from Youngstown, a couple members of Westlife, and a few others.” Kevin lists off.

“What about women?” Howie asks.

“We got,” Kevin begins, “Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Tara Reid, Jessica Simpson, Christina and I think Madonna has even agreed to come.”

”Wow. That’s quite a group of people. So what are we doing this time? Are you having that auction again this year?” Brian asks.

“Yeah, I was thinking of asking each of the celebrities to donate something. You think they’d do it?” Howie worries.

“I don’t know about all of them but I’m sure most of them would. I’ll call JC, Dallas and the two from 98 Degrees.” AJ volunteers.

“You just wanna talk to your man some more.” Nick teases.

“Yeah, and your point being/” AJ asks.

“Nothing, never mind. Geez. Get all defensive and shit.” Nick mumbles.

“I’m gonna go call now. Talk to ya’ll later.” AJ states walking out of the room.

Ring, ring.

“Hello?”

“Hello, is this JC?”

“Yes, who’s this?”

“It’s AJ man.”

“Hey, what’s up?” (Puzzled look followed by a huge grin)

“Well, just wanted to ask if you’d like to donate something to Howie’s Charity. He’s having this auction and…”

“Sure. What’s he need? Maybe I can get the rest of the guys to donate some stuff too. Since they can’t make it down there.”

“That would be great. I don’t think he had anything specifice in mind. Just something that is yours that you can autograph. You know the standard stuff.”

“Ok. Can you give me a couple minutes and I’ll see what I can do. Hey, you want me to ask Jeff and Justin too. They’re here with us. They’ll be arriving a few hours later than me on Monday.”

“Yeah, you want me to wait or you wanna call me back?”

“You can wait if you want. It shouldn’t be that long.”

“K. I’ll just hang tight then.”

“Hey,” JC yells, holding a hand over the receiver. “I got AJ on the phone and he wants to know if we’ll donate something to the fundraiser auction. What ya’ll think?”

“Sure. What do they need?” Lance asks.

“He said anything we wanted to donate would be fine. He also wants to know if you two want to donate anything (He looks at Jeff and Justin).”

“Sure, I think I got a jersey here I can donate.” Jeff states.

“I’ve always got a hat that I could do without. Will that work?” Justin asks.

“Hey, AJ?”

“Yeah?”

“Jeff’s got a jersey and Justin’s got a hat they can give up. I got a couple things I can give up. You think anyone would want a fur coat?”

“You talking about that bear that you wore to the VMA’s?”

“Yeah. Don’t have much use for it anymore.”

“Yeah, we could try it and see. What about the others.”

“I don’t know. They’re all thinking. I’ll bring it down when I come. Ok?”

“That’s great.”

“I gotta run man. We gotta get to an interview.”

“That’s cool. Talk to ya later man.”

“K. Bye.”
