Phoebe had taken Judy up to her room, later that day, to show her how she had it set up and everything. Judy loved it, and the
willow tree the stood outside her window. They sat down on her bed and Phoebe picked up the globe that Taylor had bought
her.
"This is what he bought me for my 'get well' gift. Isn't it pretty?"
Judy turned it over and smiled. "Yes, it is. And it looks so cool when you do this." She turned it again.
"I couldn't stop doing that for a while."
Judy placed it back on her table. "So, what's it like living next to them?" She asked. "Oh, well, it's just normal to me. I mean,
they are just like everyone else. We all do things together and visit. I've had a lot of fun since I moved here. They have been my
friends."
Judy just shook her head. "You are so lucky! What are the odds of you moving next to them in the first place?" She laughed.
"Very slim, I can say that." Phoebe paused for a moment, then went on. "How's life back in Tucson?"
Judy sighed. "Different. It just feels like something is missing now; like a piece of my puzzle is gone."
"Oh don't say that! You'll make me cry!" Phoebe said.
Judy laughed at her friend's sensitivity. Phoebe was always like that to her.
"Hey, I'll live ya know?" Judy smiled.
"You better cause I want to come back home sometime and visit you."
"That would be great."
Phoebe stood up and walked over to her photo album. She picked up a picture and brought it over to Judy.
"Remember this day?" She said, passing it over to her.
Judy took the picture and stared at it for a moment. "Yes, I do! All that mud!" She made a face and laughed.
"I'll have to show it to Taylor sometime."
Judy turned red. "Oh no you don't! I'll be so embarrassed!"
Phoebe laughed at her. "You don't know what embarrassing is..." She was having the fond memory of Taylor helping her with
her pants in the bathroom. That was one day she'd like to forget.
Judy sat the picture down and laughed a little more. "I felt so gross when you pulled me out of there. That was nasty."
"It was!"
At that moment, they both heard a car door slam. Phoebe ran over to her window and could see that they were now home.
"Hey look, they're home now."
Judy ran over to the window and peered out. "I thought they drove a white van."
"They do. Sometimes." Phoebe pulled the curtain open a little more and watched them start to unpack the truck.
"Wow, look at that guitar." Judy stared in awe at the instrument.
"Yeah, I like that one. Green is a cool color." Phoebe commented.
"Oh, they're going in now. Man, it is so weird to see them with my own eyes! Did you feel like that when you first moved
here?"
Phoebe let go of the curtain and sat down in the window seat. "Yeah, I did for a little while. But, I met their whole family only a
few hours after we arrived. It was weird, but almost like I never got to see them as the band. Just as my neighboors."
"Well, I don't think I'll ever get over this." Judy giggled a little.
"I don't think I'll ever get over seeing you here! I wish you could just move in with me."
Judy smiled. "Me too. But you know, I have to keep things in order back in Tucson..."
Phoebe laughed and tossed her pillow at her. "Hmm...that's right. Last time I checked you were the president of our friend
society..."
Judy grinned. "That was way lame Phoebe."
"Hey!" Phoebe tossed another pillow at her.
"What's with this pillow fetish you have going on here?" Judy picked up a yellow pillow and sat it next to her.
"What's with the "flippy hair do" you have going on here?"
Judy laughed and felt her hair. "I tried something different. Kinda cool, huh?"
"Actually...it is. Your hair always works out great..." Phoebe picked up a strand of her hair and tossed it over her shoulder.
"I know." Judy said in a Marsha Brady voice.
They both laughed and then the phone rang.
"I'll get it." Phoebe ran across the room and answered on the second ring.
Judy waited and then she returned a few minutes later.
"That was Taylor. He said we could come over at eight. They finished a little early tonight."
"Cool!" Judy exclaimed. "I can't wait!!"
 

"What do you think of Judy?"
"She's cool. Kinda cute."
"You think she's cute?"
"I said kinda didn't I? She's alright."
"Sure. You like everyone."
"Hey, I do not."
"Yes, you do."
"No, I don't."
"Yes, you do."
"Don't!"
"Do!"
"Don't!"
"Do!"
"Stop acting like you are four!"
"Oh just shut up."
"You shut up."
"Why don't the both of you shut up." Zac said, hearing the last few words of their conversation when he came out of the
bathroom.
"Zac, butt out."
"Why don't you?"
"Cause we are having a conversation here. No one asked for your input."
Zac laughed. "You guys are pathetic! Wait...one of you likes...hmm...could it be...Judy?" He rolled his eyes at them. "Losers!"
He made the "L" sign and left the room.
Isaac looked at Taylor. Taylor looked at Isaac.
"What are you staring at?"
"What are YOU staring at?"
"I asked you first."
"You're not going to win this one. I'm going to get the last word."
"Yeah right! And what's with the attitude you have going on here? Gee, I'm sorry, 'Mr. I missed a whole chorus because I was
too busy thinking about girls.' "
"I did not! You missed the chorus!"
"Oh ok...just go ahead and believe that if it makes you feel better."
"You're going to get it, you know that?"
"Not if I get you first. You better sleep with one eye open tonight buddy."
"Is that a threat?"
"You bet it is!"
"I don't have to take that!"
"What are you going to do about it then, Mr. Big?"
"Mr. Big? Are you talking about yourself? Oh wait...then it would be 'Mr. Big Head'."
"That's it!"
They both broke out into a huge pillow fight, smashing pillows upside each other's heads.
Zac ran back upstairs when he heard the loud bangs and booms.
He opened up the door and got smacked right in the face.
"Have you both just lost your minds?!" Zac yelled, rubbing his nose.
Isaac and Taylor stopped and stared at him. Then they looked at each other. A small smile ran across their lips and they took
off after Zac.
"Ahh!!" Zac ducked and ran for cover.
"Moma's boy!" Taylor yelled, putting Zac in a choke hold.
"I...am...not!"
"Little wittle Zacky wacky is TOO a Moma's boy!" Taylor swept his leg behind Zac's and went crashing to the floor with him.
Isaac jumped in and grabbed Zac's arms.
"Ahh! You are not going to tickle me!"
Taylor sat on his feet and gave him the evil eye. "Are you ready Zac?" He held his hands right at Zac's chin. He hated being
tickled on his neck and they both knew it.
"Yeah Zac...you WANT to be tickled right?" Isaac grinned.
"I'm going to kill you both!" He tried to move but they were too strong.
"Uh oh...you pushed it a little too far there. I'm sorry...but you had this coming." Taylor laughed and tickled him under his chin.
Zac was laughing and yelling so hard that his face was turning bright red. Isaac almost lost his hold when Zac screamed like a
little girl. It was too funny. They needed to capture this moment on camera.
"OK, STOP!! STOP!! I WON'T BUG YOU!!"
Taylor laughed and stopped for a minute. "Loan me your yellow Doc's and it's a deal."
"Hey, what about me?" Isaac asked.
"Hmm, loan Ike that new computer game you keep all to yourself."
Zac took deep breaths. "Fine, now get the heck off of me." Taylor stood up and Zac jumped up and went over to the door.
He smiled at them. "We didn't shake!" He laughed and took off out the door.

(Authors Note: hehehe Just to let you know, I wrote Ike and Tay's convo like that so you wouldn't know who was talking. But,
maybe you guys can figure it out. :D )

"Bye mom! We'll see you later on tonight." Phoebe and Judy waved to Georgia and then headed out the door.
"I feel so excited. Do you think they will let me take pictures?" Judy held onto the camera in her hand.
"Yeah, I think they would. They are usually nice about those sorts of things." Phoebe smiled at her.
"We're here!" Judy giggled.
"Ok, calm down a bit. This will just be like a normal visit." She rang the doorbell and waited for someone to answer.
"I hear someone!"
Phoebe laughed a little. She could not get over how excited Judy was.
The door opened and Zac stood there.
"Hey Phoebe!"
"Hey Zac!" She smiled at him.
"Welcome to our humble home Judy. I hope you will like your stay." He said to her in an accent.
She laughed and walked in with Phoebe.
"Wow, you guys have a cool home! It's pretty big!"
Zac closed the door and then Isaac and Taylor came into the foyer. "Hey Judy." They both said.
"Hi!" She blushed a little. Phoebe winked at Taylor and he grinned a little.
"Let's go into the living room now." Isaac placed his hand on her shoulder and led them into the room. Phoebe shot Taylor a
look when Isaac did that. He motioned for her to come over to him.
"What Tay?" She whispered.
"I think Ike thinks that Judy is cute." Taylor said to her.
"Huh? What about Maddy?"
"I don't know! I just think he likes her look, ya know?"
Phoebe nodded. "Plus she will be leaving in a week."
Taylor shook his head. "I just hope he doesn't give her the wrong impression."
He took her hand and they went into the room with the rest of them.
