Why this fic must be read:I promised some popgirl fic and this is a good one to start with. It's actually *NSync, Britney, and Christina, and it's Christina's fantasy of what life would be like without fame. Sweet and a bit sad. And there's a reference to Britney with a shaved head, which is just odd from today's perspective. (But the head shaving is for feminist reasons, not losing-one's-mind reasons.)

Christina sometimes likes to think about what might have happened if they hadn’t become famous. Not just her and Britney—although her favorite part—but all of them. The boys, too. If they’d done the Mickey Mouse thing, NSYNC had gotten together, and then they had all just…stopped. Stopped trying to shoot for the glowing, blinding Hollywood lights and just stayed normal.

She has a feeling that she’d like it. Just the seven of them, still down in Orlando. Meeting at some outdoor café at the end of each week, talking and laughing for awhile before returning to their normal lives of part-time jobs and junior college, maybe even getting together to watch TV or go to the movies on a Saturday night.
