Isaac, Taylor, Zac and Joey told Jessica and Avery what had happened while they were waiting in the room. They couldn't
believe their own ears. Taylor wanted to call Phoebe and tell her too, but it was late and he didn't want to wake her.
As the night passed on, they all grew tired and fell asleep.

:::The Next Day:::
It was ten in the morning. Phoebe was dressed and waiting in the living room to go to the airport. She was so excited.
"Phoebe, we don't have to pick Judy up until two today. Why don't you go see Taylor." Georgia said to her.
"Well...true. Ok, maybe I will go over there."

"Taylor, wake up!" Zac shouted from across the room. "It's ten already."
"Be quiet Zac...I'm tired." Taylor shoved his head under his pillow.
"Well...I guess you will just have to see Phoebe in your pajamas. She just left her house." Zac pulled the curtain back.
Taylor jumped out of bed. "Why didn't you tell me that in the first place?" He started searching for some pants and then tried to
put them on two legs at a time. He stumbled and fell over.
"Good one..." Zac laughed and ran out of the room.
Taylor finished, brushed his hair, put on a t-shirt and headed downstairs. She was already waiting on the porch for him.
He stretched and walked outside to meet her.
"Good morning." She said with a big smile.
"Morning..." He yawned.
"Still tired, huh?"
He nodded. "Yep. Had a long night." He sat down beside her on the steps.
"Well, I'm too excited. I can't be tired."
He laughed. "So, when do we have to go over and surprise her?"
"We have to pick her up at two...so when we leave, you guys can just hang over at my house."
Taylor nodded. "Sounds cool to me. Oh, I have the cd's for her. I'll make sure to bring them over."
Phoebe grinned. "Thanks so much."
"It was no problem."
Phoebe leaned over and tied her shoelace. "Oh, I was meaning to ask you this."
"What?" He asked.
"I kept hearing screaming last night. Do you know what that was all about?" She squinted her eyes and looked at him.
Taylor started laughing. "Yeah, I know what that was all about!" He put his arms around his stomach and laughed until his eyes
watered.
Phoebe was just staring at him. He had never laughed so hard. "Gee Tay! Tell me what's so funny!" She pushed him a little with
her shoulder.
Taylor got a hold of himself and wiped his eyes dry. "We were kept hostage, almost, by Macy and her sidekicks!" That set him
off into another fit of laughter.
She dropped her mouth open. "Huh?" She looked confused.
He started waving his hands a little. "You look really confused..." He smiled at her.
"Ugh, just tell me what you mean already!" She laughed a little.
"Ok, ok...I'll get a hold of myself now...let's see...where to start.." He trailed off a little and then he saw Zac come outside.
"Zac, tell Phoebe what happened last night..." He grinned.
Zac took a seat by her on the steps. "Well...Macy, Luke, Tisha and two other guys I don't know, snuck into our backyard, cut
off our power, tied up Ike in the treehouse, soaked Joey from head to toe and then demanded that we," he pointed to Taylor
and himself, "apologize to her for whatever it was we had done."
Phoebe looked shocked. "Huh? She did all that?"
Taylor nodded. "Yeah, and we almost thought she was going to get freaky on us, until," he smiled at her, "I remembered the
posters."
"Ah! You didn't!" Phoebe stared at him with wide eyes.
"I did! And her friends totaly left, well, not Tisha, but the other guys left cause they found out that she was a fan!" He started
laughing a little. Zac just shook his head and smiled.
"I don't think you guys will be seeing her for a while...I wouldn't show my face around here if I were her!" She said.
"Who knows...but at least we got revenge on her." Taylor said.
"Yeah right! You know what I would have liked to have done to her!" Zac exclaimed, trying not to bust out laughing.
"Um...easy on the sugar Zac." Phoebe tickled him a little.
Taylor looked up at the clouds and smiled. "Ike is still a little confused about her. We have yet to tell him the whole story. I
mean, he knows about the pond and everything, just not the details; like what we know."
Phoebe nodded. "Well, we'll tell him one day." She smiled.
Taylor put his arm around her. Zac yawned and stood up. "Well, I'm heading back inside. It's already too hot for me...and I'm
not making a pun." He smiled and walked back inside.
Taylor laughed. "He's a character..."
"Yeah, he is." Phoebe stood up and brushed off her jeans. "Oh, I wanted to give you this." She reached into her pocket and
pulled out an I.D. bracelet. "I had it made for you a couple of days ago. Here." She handed it over.
Taylor took the bracelet, reading the words that were engraved. "Taylor" was on the front and on the back, the words "To my
fellow MMMBopper, Love Phoebe" were engraved. He laughed when he read that. "I love it. Thanks Phoebe." He gave her a
kiss and laughed again. "You really like that 'fellow MMMBopper' thing, huh?"
She giggled. "I do, and I knew it would make you laugh."
"Very cool Phoebe." He smiled and put it on his right arm.
She admired it for a moment, and then decided she had better go. "I'll head back home now. I just want to check and make
sure everything is just right. Oh, here's the key to the house." She placed it in his hand. "Don't lose it." She winked and headed
down the driveway.
"I won't!" He yelled.
"You better not!" She yelled back.
Taylor waved and went inside his house.

Phoebe sat there, in the waiting area, on the edge of her seat waiting for Judy to walk down the terminal. Her flight had landed
and she was just waiting now.
"Mom, do you see her?"
"Not yet. There's a lot of people though." Georgia scanned the crowd looking for her.
Phoebe stood up and paced a little. "Oh wait...I think I see her!" She squinted a little and sure enough, there was Judy. Judy
looked up and spotted her. She dropped her mouth and open and ran through the people to get to her.
"Phoebe!!" She laughed and hugged her friend.
"Oh my gosh...it's so good to see you!" Phoebe exclaimed, after they stopped hugging.
"You look the same!" Judy said.
"I hope so! It hasn't been that long!" She laughed and picked up Judy's carry on bag.
Georgia was just smiling. "I'm so happy that you made it ok. She's really missed you." She said to her.
"I've missed her too! It feels like she has been gone forever!" Judy couldn't stop smiling.
This was the best day for her.
"Well, let's not waste anymore time here. I want to show you my house!" Phoebe grinned and headed over to pick up the rest
of her luggage.
"I only brought one suitcase and this bag." She informed her. "Oh, there it is!" Judy pointed to a navy blue case and Phoebe
grabbed it.
"Heavy!" She laughed a little.
"Yeah, well...you know me." They both smiled and headed out to the car with Georgia.

"A surprise? What kind of surprise?" Judy asked her.
"Oh, it's a nice surprise. You'll like it." She grinned from ear to ear.
Georgia was just listening to the both of them. It was great to hear their voices together. "Oh, my dad is at work today. Mom
took off so she could get you. You'll get to see him later on."
Judy nodded. "Ok cool." She looked out the window as they turned onto her street.
"Wow, what a pretty street Phoebe." She admired the homes and yards.
"It is pretty. Looks a lot better than when that tornado came!"
Judy laughed. "I can't believe that. Still freaks me out a little."
Phoebe smiled at her. They were now pulling up into the driveway.
"Ok, get out, but don't run up to the door yet." Phoebe told her.
"I won't, although I have no idea why I shouldn't." She smiled.
They picked up her bags and walked up the steps and to the front door. Phoebe, before she left, told Taylor that when she
rang the doorbell, to answer it for them. That way, Hanson would be the first thing Judy would see.
Phoebe pressed the doorbell.
"Why did you do that? Is someone here?" Judy asked.
Georgia and Phoebe looked at each other. A second later, the door flew open.
"SURPRISE!!" Isaac, Taylor and Zac yelled.
Judy dropped her bags and looked at them, then Phoebe. "Oh my gosh! Hanson broke into your house!" She exclaimed. She
was taking deep breaths and had bent over a little.
"No, I invited them over." Phoebe said, with the happiest smile on her face.
"You what?!" Judy was now standing up and confused.
Isaac, Taylor and Zac were just laughing at her. This was so amusing to them.
"Oh boy...just come inside and we'll tell you all about it." Taylor spoke up to her.
"You spoke to me...Taylor Hanson said something to me..." Judy was laughing.
Georgia just shook her head. "Ok, everyone inside. I'll make some snacks."
Phoebe went over to Judy and whispered into her ear something. Judy's whole face lit up with excitement when she heard it.
"He's your boyfriend?!"

After everyone had calmed down, they all sat in Phoebe's living room talking. Judy was still a little star struck. It's not everyday
that you meet your favorite band.
"So, you met them the first day you moved in and you never told me?" Judy asked her.
"Well...I wanted to soo bad! Didn't I Tay?"
Taylor nodded. "Yeah, she kept telling that. But, I think it's cooler that she waited until you came here."
Isaac motioned for Zac to hand him something. He nodded and reached behind the sofa cushion.
"Here, these are for you." Isaac handed over the 'Boomerang' and 'MMMBop' cd's.
Judy took them and grinned. "You remembered to get them for me." She said to Phoebe.
"Yep, well Taylor got them for you actually. Remember talking to him on the phone?"
Judy nodded. "Yeah, but I didn't know it was him!" She laughed and flipped over the cd's to read what songs were listed.
"Did you ever buy 'Three Car Garage'?" Isaac asked.
"Yep! I have that cd."
"Well, 'MMMBop' is the indie cd that we put on that album." He said.
She smiled. "I know."
Phoebe was about to say something, when Taylor spoke up. "I know you want to spend time with Phoebe now, so we are
going to go."
Phoebe frowned. "You can stay, I don't mind."
Zac shook his head. "We also have to go because we need to practice. Been kind of slack about it lately..." His voice trailed
off as he walked over to the door.
"Oh...that's right. I haven't even thought about that. Well, have fun, ok?"
They all smiled. "We will. We'll be back later tonight, so bring Judy over to meet the rest of the family." Taylor said.
Judy giggled. "I'll be there! This is so cool!"
Phoebe laughed. "We'll see you then! Bye!"
They both waved and Isaac, Taylor and Zac headed off to practice.
