Chapter One 'Let's go to the lines and see who we've got!.... Hello?'
'Umm...um....hello?' I stuttered, not knowing what to say.
 'Hey there miss, what's your name?' I heard the DJ ask in his low voice.
'L...Leah.' I stuttered once again.
 'Well, Leah. You should be very proud of yourself. You're our 13th caller, and Leah, do you now what that means?'
 'I'M GOING TO SEE HANSON!' I screamed immediately.
'That's right young lady! You're going to see and meet Hanson, Zachary, Taylor, and Isaac, at SparkleFalls amphitatre this weekend!' The DJ was about as excited as I was!
 'Hang on the line Leah, and I'll give ya the details! But now, back to our one hour, non-stop music marathon! On WKZY! Your next chance to win, in minutes!' Then, MMMBop came on. How appropriate I thought.
 When I got off with the DJ, my mom talked to the manager to get the full details and how to get the tickets. I was so excited, I felt like I was going to be sick! I had to call my 3 best friends and tell them I'd just won 4 Hanson tickets...front row, and backstage passes! I couldn't wait for my mom to get off the phone. So I grabbed some change from the coffee table and ran out the door. 'MOM! I'LL BE BACK IN 10 MINUTES!' I screamed to her.
I ran around the block, to the gas station and grabbed the payphone. I stuck 25 cents in the slot and dialed May's number. Ring. Ring. Ring. No answer. Ring.
 'Hello?' It was May I knew it.
'May! May! It's me!' I screamed.
 'Leah, calm down, geez. What's your pr--' I couldn't let her finish that sentance.
 'I JUST WON FOUR TICKETS AND BACKSTAGE PASSES TO A HANSON CONCERT! That's what's my problem!' I screamed excitedly.
 I took the phone away from my ear as May started to scream. May was obsessed, like my other 2 best friends also. I slowly put the phone back up to my ear. 'Are ya done May?' I asked sarcastically.
 'Nope, one more.' She told me. I pulled the phone away again and listened to the faint screaming on the other line.
 'God, that girl can scream!' I said to myself.
'Okay May, can you call Angela and Krista for me please?' I asked her...calmly...
 I heard rapid breathing. 'You...Leah....LeAH!!...LLEEEEEAAAHHH!! WERE GONING TO SEE HANSON! TO MEET THEM!' She shrieked.
 'May, I thought you said you were done screaming.'
'Maybe some people are just more of a Hanson fan than others!' She said playfully.
 'May, don't start. Just because I don't scream and do backflips everytime I hear them speak or see their faces, doesn't mean I don't love them just as much as you guys! And more maybe!' I informed her. I wished she'd stop her screaming. Now I had a headache.
 'Oh fine! But why can't you call the others! I donít think I can work the phone, i'm shaking so bad!' She exclaimed with a sigh. 'Taylor...Taylor...' She sighed again.
 'You, May are making me sick!' I told her laughing. 'And I can't call the others because I'm not sure I can take two more conversations like this with extensive screaming and schreeching!'
 'Oh fine, I'll call them! But when do we get the tickets!??!!' She eagerly asked.
I laughed at her anxiousness. 'May, why don't you guys come over tonight for dinner, okay? I'll explain the whole thing.'
 'Yea, yea! Sure whatever! We're gonna see Hanson!' She sighed another obsessed star-stuck sigh.
 *laugh* 'May, just call the others, and quit dreaming about what you could do with Taylor Hanson!' I playfully scolded her.
 'I! You! You're such a jerk!' She laughed.
'I know, I know. And don't be late for dinner okay!? Now get your butt off this line and cal the others May!'
 'Yea sure. Bye Hanson-lover...are you sure you're worthy of that name?' She teased me.
 'Shut up May! Are you sure youíre worthy of claiming to be from Planet Earth!?' I teased back.
 I heard a giggle. 'Okay, I see you're point! Bye, Leah!'
'Bye May!' I hung up the phone.
 'Boy, if they're THIS excited over the phone, I don't wana know what they'll do at the concert. And I'm not even THINKING about what'll happen when we meet ëem!' I thought aloud as I ran back home. Chapter Two
