The next few weeks flew by, and the girls and guys became close as ever, and couldn’t wait for all their beginning hard work to be revealed. It was now the night before the guys were going to announce the new website, fan club/ street team, and tour. Lance decided to invite everyone over for a kick back to celebrate that night, their last night before the madness. “Make sure you bring PJ‘s, it’s gonna be a pajama rama party!” Lance told everyone, before they headed over. “Did Lance really just say it’s a ‘pajama rama party’?” Lauren held back a choke of laughter. “I believe he just did,” Nichole nodded, beginning to laugh as well. The two got changed into their cute pajamas. Nichole wearing her black tank top that read “I love my Dreamy ta -tas” and black bottoms with hearts and breast cancer ribbons, Lauren wearing her New Moon tank top and bottoms.

“Before we go, will you do my make up?” Nichole asked Lauren. “Don’t I always?” Lauren giggled, grabbing her make up bag. About twenty minutes later, they were ready, and headed off to Lance’s house. Once they got off the freeway, they did as the GPS told them, and some how ended up stranded in some hill… off -roading. “Uh, Nichole? I don’t think Lance lives on this hill, in the middle of nowhere, where it’s dark…” Lauren noted. “Yeah, I know, but in case you haven’t noticed, my Tom- Tom here told me it’s here!” Nichole snapped, clearly frustrated.
Lauren took in a deep breath, frustrated with the situation, and decided to call Lance, and ask him for directions, but he didn’t answer. She then decided to try Justin, who answered on the 2nd ring, thankfully. “Hey, where are you guys?” he answered. “Oh, ya know… at the top of some hill, where Nichole’s Tom -Tom said Lance’s house is, but really, there’s nothing around us, what so ever! Oh! And we‘re somehow off -roading!” Lauren exclaimed, obviously pissed and annoyed. “What?! Are you serious?” Justin asked. “No, I’m just playing some pointless trick on y’all to avoid this pajama rama, that Lance decided to throw, which is such a gay name, I may add… YES I’M SERIOUS!” Lauren replied, getting more frustrated. “Oh great!” Nichole exclaimed. “What’s wrong now?” Lauren hesitated to ask. “The gas light came on…” Nichole whispered, trying not to cry, now scared. “Wonderful!” Lauren exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air. “What is it?” Justin asked. “Now the gas light is on, so we really ARE stranded!” Lauren answered, in a not so happy tone. “Aw, shit! Well, uh, where does your GPS say you are?” Justin asked, worry in his voice. “Uh, let me check… it says ‘you are here’,” Lauren said, now starting to cry, worried they’d be stuck forever, “Nichole! How do you make this thing tell you where you are besides, ‘here’?” Nichole took the Tom -Tom from Lauren’s hand, and looked at it. “It says we’re… in Hollywood hills, but, there’s nothing around us, so how is this right?” Nichole sighed. Justin started to chuckle. “What the hell are you laughing at, Timberlake?” Lauren hissed. “Nothing, nothing. Don’t worry, the guys and I will be there ASAP to get you!” and with that he hung up. Nichole looked at Lauren, wondering why the heck Justin just laughed at them, Lauren just shrugged, and laid her head back in her seat, knowing it’d be a while until they were rescued. Nichole sighed, and decided to do the same thing.
They ended up dozing off, tired of waiting, and after what felt like an hour of sleeping, the girls heard a loud noise outside the car. “Lauren?” Nichole whispered. “Yeah?” Lauren whispered back. “Did you hear that?” Nichole’s whispered got even lower. “Uh huh…” Lauren gulped. “W-w-what was it?” Nichole asked. “No idea!” Lauren replied, nearly jumping onto her friend’s lap. Just then, a guy, in all black, with a red bandana covering below his eyes shined a flashlight over his face, and jumped onto the hood of Nichole’s car, causing the girls to scream at the top of their lungs, as another guy jumped on the roof of the car. Just then, they saw a car driving towards them. Once it was parked next to Nichole’s car, Justin and JC jumped out, yelling, “Hey! What the hell are you doing!?”
The two guys jumped off the car, and walked towards the two. “Who are you?” one guy asked. “Doesn’t matter, leave them alone!” JC exclaimed, jumping on top of him. “JC! Don’t do that! Don’t try to be all heroic! It’s not worth it!” Nichole exclaimed from the car, as she got out. “Yeah, seriously! I’ll call 911!” Lauren started to dial, still crying. Just then, the four guys began laughing, hysterically, and Lance came out of the car. “What is SO funny?!” Lauren and Nichole hissed, as the two guys in black took off their bandanas, showing that it was none other than Joey and Chris! “You should have… oh my gosh! You should have…” Chris was laughing so hard, he couldn’t finish his sentences. “The looks on your faces, oh my God! Classic!” Joey laughed, as he lay in the grass. “You’re such the genius when it comes to pranks, Justin!” JC agreed. “You mean, this was all YOUR idea?!” Lauren and Nichole glared at Justin. Justin smiled his million dollar smile, and nodded, just as Lauren lunged at him, forcing him to the ground. “You are SO dead, Timberlake!” Lauren exclaimed, her hands clenched on Justin’s collar. “Oh come on, you know it was funny,” Justin smirked. “Oh, ha -ha!” Lauren glared up at him, “Just know that pay back is a bitch, and you’ll never know when it’ll come!” she winked at him, as she got up and headed over to Nichole’s side. “So, is there really no pajama rama party?” Nichole asked. “There is, this was just the… ‘pre party’,” Lance chuckled, “Just follow us to my real house!”
Everyone hoped back in their cars, and the girls followed the guys to Lance’s house. “I can’t believe those guys. Come tour time, payback is going to be a royal bitch!” Lauren grinned an evil smile at Nichole, who nodded in agreement, as they laughed evilly.
A few moments later, they all reached Lance’s house, for real, and headed inside. Once they were inside, the girls noticed the guys weren’t in pajamas. “Uh, I thought Lance said this was a pajama party?” Nichole replied, embarrassed that her and Lauren were in their PJ’s while the guys were fully clothed in jeans and t-shirts. “We gotta change, we wore our clothes to pull our prank, duh!” JC chuckled, touching Nichole’s shoulder, giving her the butterflies. Over the past few weeks, the two had been flirting an awful lot, but neither of them did a thing about it. “Well, uh, just make yourselves comfortable, and I’ll be right back!” Lance replied, leaving the room to go change. While he was off changing, each guy took turns going into the guest room to change. Once everyone was dressed in their PJ’s, Lance suggested they all watch a movie, and have some drinks, and no one had a problem with that. As they prepared their drinks, Joey commented on Nichole’s pajama top, “So you’re, uh, proud of your ta -ta’s, are you?” “Yeah, how ‘dreamy’ are they?” Chris added in. Nichole laughed, feeling a little uncomfortable, as she turned red. “Hey, leave her alone!” JC and Lauren replied at the same time. “Hey, hey sorry… I’d say to blame the alcohol, but… I haven’t had any yet,” Chris bowed his head in shame. “I was only joking, man! Just cuz you don’t have the balls to ask her out!” Joey chuckled, running off into the living room. Everyone looked at Nichole and JC for some sort of response. “So, uh… What, uh, what movie should we watch?” Lauren replied, changing the subject. “How about… um, ‘Paranormal Activity’?” Justin suggested, starting to form a plot for JC and Nichole to get a little closer, and if him and Lauren got a little closer, and cuddlier, well, then everyone wins! “Oh no…” Lauren whispered to herself. She hated scary movies, but didn’t want to admit it to them. “What was that?” Justin asked. “Oh, uh, I said, ‘oh woo!’?” Lauren lied. So everyone headed into Lance’s living room, JC sitting next to Nichole, and Justin next to Lauren on the couch, as Lance, Joey and Chris took the bean bags on the floor. As the movie began, Lauren’s heart began to race. Why oh why did they have to pick this movie!? she thought to herself. “Are you okay?” Justin whispered to her. “I’m… fine,” she gulped, trying to assure herself more than him. JC put his arm around Nichole, and patted her arm. “You okay?” he looked down at her. “Uh huh,” she smiled at him, screaming on the inside.
Throughout the film, Lauren tried her hardest not to jump, and scream, but during the part where the girl wakes up in the middle of the night, and is floating, she couldn’t help but dig her face into Justin’s chest. “Sorry!” she whispered. Justin smiled, and put his arm around her, letting her know it was perfectly fine. JC tightened his grip around Nichole’s shoulder. “Um, JC, are you okay?” she whispered to him. “Oh yeah, I’m fine… Just, uh, I thought maybe you were scared…” he replied, hoping it wasn’t obvious that he was the in fact the scared one. “Right…” Nichole silently giggled to herself. After the movie was over, Lance got up to turn it off. “What’s next?” he asked. “Something with happiness and love, please!?” Lauren exclaimed, still holding onto Justin, causing everyone to chuckle.
JC then cleared his thought. “Um, Nichole?” he replied. She turned to him, and smiled, “Yes?” He grabbed her hand, and replied, “Can I talk to you privately?” She nodded, and walked with him out to Lance’s back patio. “What’s up?” she asked, looking up at him. “Well, I, uh, well, we’ve got to know each other these past couple of weeks, and well, you’re a really sweet, beautiful, smart woman, and well… I’ve taken a fancy to you… wait, that’s British, uh, damn, you make me feel like the high school, Josh, and I love it, and well… I wanted to ask you, would you, would you… be my girlfriend?” he finished his stammering. Nichole released a tear of joy, and nodded. JC grinned, and looked down at her, kissing her lips softly. They then heard a round of cheers and screams from Lance’s living room, indicating that everyone had been eavesdropping, making the two chuckle, but continue their kiss. After their kiss, the two walked back in, hand in hand, both smiling uncontrollably.
“Congrats!” Lance and Joey cheered. “You stole my woman!” Chris pouted, jokingly, everyone laughing. “Finally! You did it man!” Justin patted his friend on the back. “Yeah, so shouldn’t you do the same thing, bro?” JC winked, nodding his head towards Lauren. “Ohhhhh!” everyone, but Lauren, coughed. “So, how about that movie?” Lauren replied, trying to change the subject. “Yeah, weren’t we going to watch ‘Model Behavior’?” Joey joked. “Oh, ha -ha!” Justin glared at his friend, as everyone chuckled. “But seriously, let’s watch the movie. Or, we could all go in the hot tub? Or play Wii, or foosball, or air hockey, or dance -dance revolution, basket ball…” Lance suggested the different forms of entertainment he had to offer. Everyone exclaimed something different, not making the decision an easy one. “Well, we can all do different things for a bit?” Lance suggested, and everyone agreed. Nichole and JC decided to play Wii, being the total gaming nerds that they were, while Lauren and Justin decided to play basket ball, and Joey, Chris, and Lance watched a movie.
----------------------------
“I can’t believe it took JC so long to ask Nichole out, it was obvious he’s liked her since the first day we all met,” Lauren replied as her and Justin began their one -on- one game of basket ball. “Yeah, no kidding! He’s been talking about her non stop each time you girls left,” Justin agreed. “Well, so long as they’re happy and together now,” Lauren smiled. “Right,” Justin smiled back.
----------------------------
“When’s Justin gonna get the balls like you, and ask Lauren out?” Nichole asked JC, as the two battled at Mario Kart. “Are you implying I didn’t have the balls before tonight?” JC replied, raising an eyebrow at her, as he drove to his death off a cliff and into the water. “Well, you know what I mean… He obviously really likes her, and I know she likes him, though she’s too stubborn to admit it… Oh! Snap! I won!” Nichole smiled. “I let you win, and, yeah, he does like her, I can tell,” JC agreed, then replied, “So, uh, enough about them…” and with that, JC paused the game, and leaned in and planted a kiss on her lips. Nichole laid her head back on the yellow bean bag she was sitting on, as JC deepened the kiss...
