When Guys Get Bored
Snow Princess. An overnight sensation was what they were being praised as. Three girls and one great sound. When they were little, Kristin, Jessie, and Lizzy used to mess around and joke about how when they were older, they were going to be divas. They would run around Kristin’s house singing Spice Girls songs and make up dances for them. They used to laugh at each other and think of different ways to improve what they were laughing about. Little did they know that all the goofing off and all the practicing they did, would work out to their advantage. Little did they know that at age seventeen, they would be climbing the pop charts and at quite a speed.
Well, there they were, embarking on their first tour. And what a tour it was too. The girls were opening up for their idols and inspiration, *NSYNC. In the past two weeks, the girls and the guys had gotten very close. The guys of *NSYNC thought of the girls of Snow Princess as their little sisters and Jessie, Kristin and Lizzy had found new best friends.
The two tour buses were on their way from Knoxville to Boston and the trip was the biggest bore for the two groups. At one of the rest stops, the guys hoped off the bus and onto the girls bus. They told the girls’ security to get on the *NSYNC bus with their security and band. The guys wanted to spend some time with the girls and goof off. They decided that if they were going to be bored, they might as well be bored together. So there they were, on the Snow Princess bus being bored together.
Chris and Justin were sitting on the floor of the lounge playing with the Play Station as Kristin watched. Joey was on the couch looking through Jessie’s YM magazines with Jessie. Lance was sitting in the booth with JC and Lizzy as they all sifted through music sheets. Chris suddenly dropped the control to the play station in frustration. "This sucks!" he said. Kristin laughed.
"You’re just upset cause you’re losing." Justin said with a smirk, his eyes still on the screen.
"Please! Upset that I’m losing the Spice Girls game?!" Chris moaned.
"Yeah!" Justin challenged. Chris then blurted out again.
"Yeah well, I’d be winning too if I could’ve had Sporty Spice! She can kick anyone’s ass! But no! I got stuck with Baby Spice!" Chris said bitterly. Kristin cut in.
"Hey! What’s wrong with Baby Spice?" she said playfully punching Chris. Justin then shouted in excitement.
"Yes! I win!" He threw the controller down and danced around the lounge as the music played from the game. "If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends!" Justin danced and sang around the lounge. Chris rolled his eyes at Justin.
Joey, who was still looking at Jessie’s magazines finally spoke up. "Whoa! Heeelllloooo Beautiful!" He said turning the magazine in his hands. Everyone turned to stare at him. Jessie looked all of them.
"Swim suit ad!" she reassured them. They all nodded and went back to what they were doing.
"I need to subscribe to YM!" Joey said
"Man guys this is soooooooo boring!" Chris whined. They all ignored Chris, the baby, and kept doing what they were doing. Kristin and Justin started a new round in the game, Joey and Jessie continued to flip through the magazines, and Lance, JC and Lizzy were working on the music.
"Come on guys! Please! Let’s do something fun!" Everyone rolled their eyes and continued to ignore him. Then he started to whimper like a puppy. They just couldn’t ignore that. Jessie and Kristin then jumped up and shouted "Fine!" at the same time.
"Yes!" Chris jumped up in excitement. "So, what are we gonna do?" He asked. The two girls thought. They got wicked looks on their faces at the same time and looked at Justin, Joey and Chris.
"We know!" Kristin said evilly.
"Yeah! But we need some guys to help us." Jessie said looking at the three guys.
"Me please!" Chris yelled. "I need to do something. I’m dying here."
"Ok!" Kristin pulled Chris to her side. "Who else?"
"I’ll do it!" Justin said.
"Me too!" Joey volunteered.
"Ok! Lets go to the bunk area!" Kristin led the guys to where the bunks and the bathroom was. She and Jessie closed the door behind them, and disappeared.
"I don’t even wanna know." JC said. Lance and Lizzy nodded in agreement.
JC and Lance stayed with Lizzy in the booth. They were helping her with some harmonies she was having trouble on. She had the flu a few days ago and her voice was still hoarse. She needed help getting it back in shape for the show that night. Fifteen minutes later, Kristin popped her head out of the bunk area and looked at Lizzy.
"Uh, can I borrow your baby blue dress?" She asked Lizzy. Lizzy looked at her weirdly.
"Ok I guess. You know you can always borrow my stuff."
"Thanks!" And with that, Kristin went back inside. They heard various noises coming from the bunks. "I wonder what they’re doing?" Lizzy asked.
"Don’t know." Lance said. JC then turned Lizzy around.
"Here!" He said just as he took a spoon and shoved it in Lizzy’s mouth. She made a face and Lance let out a laugh.
"Ugh! What was that?" she asked still gagging.
"Honey and Lemon. For your voice." She continued to make her face. "Take it every two hours and you should be fine tonight." She stuck her tongue out in disgust. He smiled and they went back to Lizzy’s practice. Suddenly, the door crept open and Jessie and Kristin stepped out with big smiles on their faces. Jessie walked to the CD player and stuck her TLC CD into the player. She pressed the play button and "Silly Hoe" came on.
"What’s this all about?" Lance asked. Kristin pointed to the door.
"I would like to present to you! The Three Divos!" Suddenly, Joey, Chris and Justin came out. They had the girls’ clothes on and were made up with wigs and make-up. Lance and JC burst out into laughter. Joey was wearing his own jeans, a halter top, and Kristin’s long black coat. Chris was wearing Jessie’s black mini-skirt and a silver spaghetti strap tank top. Justin was, of course, wearing Lizzy’s baby blue dress. The clothes were very tight and barely fit on the guys. Lizzy gasped!
"My dress!" she screamed. She put her hands to her mouth.
"Thought you’d like it!" Kristin said with a laugh. Lizzy then came to a realization.
"Why mine though?" Lizzy asked.
"Well, the only baby blue dress I had is too small and cause Justin’s so tall, yours was the only one that would at least cover his butt.
"Oh god you fit into my dress?!" she asked in disgust.
"No, it’s not zipped up in the back." Jessie reassured as she spun Justin around revealing his bare back.
"Thank god!" she said. "Well here’s a word of advice Justin, don’t wear basketball shorts under a mini-skirt dress." Justin looked down and noticed his North Carolina shorts hanging out of the dress. He blushed.
"Well guys?" Jessie said. "The show?" The guys then burst into song. They sang "Silly Hoe along with the CD. Justin and Joey glared at Chris who seemed to be having a grand ole time.
"Next time you get bored Chris," Joey began. "Don’t bring me into it."
"Ditto!" Justin agreed. JC then stood up.
"Sorry guys but I have to!" He went over to Justin and stuck a dollar bill down the front of the dress strip club style. The group burst out into laughter and Justin stuck his tongue out at JC. Lance then turned to Lizzy.
"Well, Lizzy, at least we know that if your voice doesn’t clear by tonight, we have a backup act."
"We sure do!" Lizzy said with a giggle. The three guys gave Lance a look and continued their song. Chris was no longer bored.
"Now this is what I call fun!" Chris said with a huge grin on his face. Jessie and Kristin smiled at their accomplishment.
