Story Notes:
I first began writing this story in 2000 (omfg...it's been SIX YEARS?!) when I was very much into everything *NSYNC. It's set from 1999 to the end of 2000, and I tried to make it as close to "real life" as possible (as in their tour dates and appearances and such...DEFINITELY not the storyline!) Since 2000, this thing has been on 2 sites, the latest being nsyncfiction.com. I actually finished it at one point, and started writing a sequel. But once I put it on NF.com, I hated it! I rewrote a lot of it and I'm really liking the way I have it now, so I don't think I'm going to change it much. But I wasn't finished with it on the other site, so there's still quite a bit I have left to rewrite. Anyway, I hope those of you who read this enjoy it!

I am soooooooooooooooooo sorry! It's been so long since I've updated, can y'all forgive me? School is kicking my ass but now that I'm situated I've been covertly using my laptop during lectures to type up my updates (I'm bad, I know) but I was a little desperate. So hopefully with that method I'll be able to crank out these last few updates out quicker! Yes, you read right--there's only a few more chapters left! But I have started a sequel...okay, I'm done talking. Enjoy!

29. EPILOGUE by alimera [Comments - 4] starstarstarstarstar (4297 words)
I know, I know. *Hangs head in shame* I'm such a horrible updater. Christmas, New Year's with the boyfriend in NC, a major surgery in the middle of January, then my final semester of college started up...are those good enough excuses? Lol. Anyway, here's the last chapter of this story. I have already started the sequel, so I'll try having that up sometime this century. Let me know what you think!
