Summary: The year is 2005. JC Chasez is comfortable in his life as a bachelor, touring the country with his band *NSYNC. Romance and long term commitment are happily words that do not exist in his vocabulary.
Samantha Bentley is the newest it-girl in fashion, breaking molds and stereotypes as the first plus-sized model to walk a major runway show, and she has been voted on MySpace as the model *NSYNC fans most want to see in their music video.
Will their unlikely friendship make JC reconsider his womanizing ways or has he finally found his match?

Story Notes:
This story takes place in 2005/2006 in a universe where *NSYNC has gotten back together after Justin and JC's first solo records. I am trying to keep to the time period as best as possible with a few technology exceptions and small notes as this is a work of fiction.
