"So, what other artists are gonna be here?" Sandi asked.
    "Well," Kelly said, "98 degrees, uh you all, SilverHaze (where my girls at!?-oops I forgot-no inside jokes!), Christina Aguilera, Sisqo, Will Smith, uh..hmmm, a lot more-I know there was one big one-ugh! I can't remember!" she looked out the window at the approaching black car, "Crap!! How could I forget that one! Uh!!"
    "Kelly?...." Kevin asked.  They all rushed to the window.
    "NSYNC!!!" they all yelled.
    "Uh-huh!" Kelly said quietly.
    "Crap! We've got the dogs here too!" Kris worried.
    "Sssshh! They're coming!" Jerry said as he opened the door.  They were all cordial in greeting and in checking out Brian and Dee's house.
    "Hmmmm, this is a cute,
little house," Chris said.
    "Thanx!" Dee and Brian said a little too coldly.  All the guys had the girls pulled tightly to them as NSYNC looked every girl up and down, smiling as they went.
    "Aw! We should have brought out dogs!" JC's girlfriend said upon seeing Tyke, Chasez, and Timberlake in their masters arms.
    "Uh, these dogs live here-so they can be here! Plus they were just going outside!" Dee informed Claudia-JC's girlfriend.
    "Hmph!" she snorted, "Well, what are their names?"
    "Uh, this is Tyke!" Brian tried to cover as Dee and Kris blushed.
    "Ooo, that's so original!" she said rudely, "What about these two?" she practically yawned.
    "Uh?" Dee thought quickly, "Chocolate and Vanil...."
    "Oooo, originality drops in the place!" Claudia yawned.
    "As a matter of fact..." Dee started, but Brian and Kelly shot her a look and she closed her mouth.
    "Okay, let's start recording!" Jerry announced to the group.  They were gonna do the group song first, then various artists and the rest would probably finish later-which would probably be BSB and TRINITY because they had access to the studio.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  All during recording, Veronic, Joey's girlfriend, kept shoving Vanessa over.
    "You're crowding me!" she whined.
    "No I'm not!" Vanessa replied as calmly as possible.
    "Yes you are! Move over cow!"
    "Um, excuse me!! I think you better...."
    "Vanessa!!" Kelly snapped.  Vanessa shut her mouth and glared at Veronica as they started recording the song again-they had to do several takes.  This one was beginning perfectly until....
    "Wait!" Claudia yelled.
    "What!?" Tori-the director asked.  NSYNC's girlfriends had been cause problems all day.
    "She's off key!" Claudia pointed to Dee who was right next to her.
    "Uh, no I'm not!" Dee argued.
    "Yes, you are!"
    "Uh, who's the recording artist here!?  I am not off key!!" Dee almost yelled.  She was fed up with this!
    "Whatever!! I don't care what you are-you're off key!!"
    "Uh, Claudia?" Tori started, "Will you please move to stand by Kris?"
    "No-she's off key too!"
    "And you can tell this how!?? I'm three stinking rows above you!" Kris said.
    "I have great ears!" Claudia gushed.
    "No, you have stupid ears and a fat...."
    "Girls! Please!!" Tori yelled, "Claudia-move to the end of your row!"  Claudia smirked and moved, shoving everyone in the process.  Everyone wanted to strangle all of the girlfriends!

------- 5 Hours Later------
  Everyone had recorded except for TRINTIY, BSB, Drew and Sandi and NSYNC and their girlfriends.  Everyone was talking a small break to let the equipment cool off a bit and change tapes.  Kevin went to get a drink and Dawn asked him to get her one.
    "Huh" Lisa, Lance's g/f scoffed, "Can't you get it yourself?"
    "Uh, yeah, but he's going that way anyway," Dawn said calmly.
    "Why don't you re-die your hair?  He doesn't want to get you anything! Be a real woman and get it yourself!"
    "Yeah, well, he's my husband-and I'm sure he wants to get me something.  And I am more woman than you'll ever be! My hair is all natural thank you very much!"
    "Well..." Lisa started before Tori called them in to record.
    "Speaking of re-dying hair-your's needs it badly-blondie!" Kalie, Chris's g/f said to Sandi.  Drew and Kevin were both upset cause their women were being ridiculed, but Jerry had told them to stay back-they really didnt' want a lawsuit-both managers were out of the room or else the girls would be in serious trouble.
    "What!?  This is natural! It's called dirty blonde!" Sandi said.
    "Right and the redhead's hair is called fake!" Julie-Justin's girlfriend said.
    "It's real-thank you!" Kris said, "Unlike your boobs!"
    "Can we please stop!" Dee said before placing her hand on her head.
    "Babe? What's wrong?" Brian asked, placing a hand on her shoulder.
    "I'm a little dizzy!" Dee said.
    "Ditzy is more like it!" Claudia said.  Everyone glared at her as she smirked.
    "Are you okay?" Brian ignored the comment.
    "Yeah, let's just record!" Dee said through gritted teeth.
    "Sure! Don't fall!" Claudia said as Dee and Brian walked into the studio.  Dee glared evily at her through the glass as she placed her headphones on her head and began recording.
    "You are my everything..."Brian sang.
    "And you're love is..." Dee sang with her eyes closed to block out Claudia and "feel" the music.  Then, the dizzy feeling hit her again.  She reeled but continued singing- she figured she was just really upset, so she passed it up.  Until she almost passed out.  She stepped back from teh mic and leaned against the wall.
    "Dee?" Brian asked.  She didn't hear him-she fell to the floor-hitting her head on a stool on the way down.  She heard NSYNC and their g/f's laughing, then she heard Brian yell, "Shut up! All of you!" and then her friends started griping them out.  She felt Brian pick her up and then blacked out again.  She awoke on her couch with an ice-pack on her head.
    "Hey baby!" Brian greeted her.
    "Aw! The baby's awake!" Claudia laughed.  Anger flashed in Brian's eyes
    "JC, shut your girlfriend up!" he turned on JC.
    "No! I don't have to!" JC countered.
    "As long as you're in my house you will!!" Brian demanded.
    "Make me!" JC stepped up to Brian.  The other BSB members were behind Brian quickly-quicker then NYSNC was behind JC, "Your women are weak!  It's not our fault!" JC mouthed.  Brian was about to lay him out when Dee stopped him
    "Brian! Don't-he's not worth it!" she said getting up and pushing his fist down.
    "You should sit-you may pass out again!" Veronica laughed.
    "Why don't you shut your...." Vanessa started.
    "Enough!" Dee yelled.  "I will not tolerate this kind of disrepect in my house! This is a big house thank you very much, Chris!  Veronica, Vanessa was not crowding you-you're just a little too big for that dress!  Claudia-I was on key-it's your awful voice that wasn't! Lisa and Julie-my friends hair colors are a lot more real than your silicon boobs!  I will not stand for my friends or my husband, or myself being disrespected like that!  Get out of my house!  Oh, and by the way, the dogs real names are Chasez and Timberlake...."
    "TimberSKANK!" Kris corrected.
    "Alright!!" Nick laughed.
  Dee continued, "How's that for original!? You all are always begging like dogs and stealing ideas-so they're appropriate names.  At least the dogs are a whole heck of a lot cuter then you ever will be!!  And they have a lot more respect and dignity!" Dee ranted
    "Oh, Justin, why don't you cut that fungi on your head! Fro's are not in style!" Kris laughed out loud.
    "Why you little...." Justin started towards Kris as Lisa started towards Dee.  Justin didn't even get two steps in before Nick knocked him to the ground in one punch.
