~Nine~
Chloe woke up at 9:30 the morning after the party. She decided to call
Kristey and Kate to see what they should do with Isaac, Taylor, and Zac
that day. The three decided that since Hanson loved to play laser tag,
they should all go to
Ultra Zone. Chloe picked up the phone and dialed Taylor's number.
"Taylor?" Chloe asked when a sleepy voice answered the phone.
"Oh hi Chloe. Sorry, I'm kinda just getting up," Taylor told her.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll call back later," Chloe said a little embarrassed.
"No! It's OK!" Taylor reasurred her.
"OK, I just talked to Kristey and Kate and we have decided that it
might be fun if we all go play laser tag today" Chloe told Taylor.
"Wow! That sounds like a blast! You must have known that we love that
game!" Taylor said excitedly.
"Well, most people do.....so, we will pick you, Isaac, and Zac up at
1:00."
"You don't have to pick us up," Taylor said, "Isaac can drive us. We
will pick you, Kristey, and Kate up from your house at 1:00."
******************************************************************************
As they arrived in their new blue VW Bug, Kate, Kristey, and Chloe were
waiting outside of the house for them to arrive. They thought that they
could never fit everyone in that small car, but somehow they did, even
though Zac offered to ride in the trunk. Isaac sat in the driver's seat,
while Chloe sat in Taylor's lap in the passenger's seat. Kate, Kristey,
and Zac packed tightly together in the back. After all the seating arrangements
had been made, the six of them were off to Ultra Zone. When they arrived,
they were the only ones there so they got to play their own game. Chloe
and Taylor were on the red team, Kristey and Isaac were on the green team,
and Kate and Zac were on the yellow team. Once all the rules had
been explained for about the 800th time, the game began. Isaac was
very good at the game, so he racked up a lot of points right away. Taylor
and Zac were good also, but not as good. The girls hadn't had as much experience
but they helped out in earning points also. After about 5 minutes, Isaac
told Kristey to follow him to the tower. The two snuck up there as discretely
as they could. Once at the top of the tower, Isaac told Kristey to stay
close to him so that they could not be seen. After waiting around for Zac,
Taylor, Kate, or Chloe to pass by below for a couple minutes, Isaac and
Kristey got bored
because there was not any action occurring. Kristey and Isaac
decided to sit down and rest for awhile.
******************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Zac, Kate, Taylor, and Chloe were battling downstairs trying
to rack up more points. Taylor suddenly said, "hey, where are Isaac and
Kristey?" Zac and Taylor made a deal not to shoot each other's team, but
to go after Isaac. The four of them stuck together and decided to head
for the tower since none of them had been up there. As they got to the
top, all of their mouthsgaped open.
"OHMIGOD, they are playing tonsil hockey!" Zac said, unaware he just
said that aloud. Taylor sort of hit him in the ribs. Isaac suddenly looked
up at all four of them in a semi-circle around them with all guns pointing
to them. At once, Chloe told them to fire, and everyone began shooting
at Isaac and Kristey. Taking the lead, Isaac pulled Kristey up and
the two were once again at war with the rest. Taylor and Zac forgot
their deal and started to shoot each other. They all ran in different directions.
Out of nowhere, a siren sounded and a voice came over the loud speaker
signaling the teams to exit. Everyone left and they all joined together
outside. As they waited for their scores, Taylor and Zac brought Isaac
to the side while Kate and Chloe brought Kristey to another section of
the room. They all discussed Kristey and Isaac's little escapade in the
tower. Then, they all joined together and received the scores. In last
place was Kristey, then Isaac, followed by Chloe, Kate, Taylor, and the
winner, Zac. Zac called himself the king of laser tag even though he only
beat Taylor by 50 points. They all piled in the small car once again to
head back home. Kate suggested that since her parents were out of town,
that they all come back to her house for dinner. They all agreed that would
be a lot of fun since it was the Hanson's last night in Richmond.
******************************************************************************
Back at Kate's house, everyone sat around, playing a snow boarding game
for Play Station. Kate decided to liven things up a bit, so she handed
the others her cd case and told them to pick out a cd to listen to. Chloe
really wanted to play the Spice Girls, so after a few fights with Taylor,
Zac, and Isaac, everyone agreed to put it on. Then, Zac suggested going
on a tour of Kate's house. They all followed Kate up to the main floor.
She showed them the kitchen, the living room, the tv room, and the dining
room, when they came across a special cabinet. Isaac asked what was in
that, and Kate replied,
"Oh nothing, it's just the liquor cabinet." Isaac was getting more
and more interested.
"Would it be alright if I looked in it?" Isaac asked.
"Sure, I mean, if you really want to," Kate replied. Isaac opened the
cabinet and was in awe. There was so much liquor, probably the most he'd
ever seen in his whole life.
"Wow! You have some really good stuff!" Isaac said.
"You can have some if you want," Kate told Isaac.
"Well......OK," Isaac said. Taylor and Zac looked at each other like
he shouldn't be doing that, but then decided it was
OK, so they might as well have some themselves. Chloe immediately spoke
up and said
"You guys are kinda young for that aren't you? Taylor, you shouldn't
drink." Taylor told her that nothing bad would happen and that everything
would be alright.
"Well, if you are going to do it, I certainly don't want to be around
you. I guess you won't get that goodbye kiss that you asked me for," Chloe
told Taylor, away from the others. Taylor reluctantly told Isaac not to
fix him a drink. Zac and Isaac each had a drink while the others danced
to the Spice Girls. Zac came up to Taylor and told him that he had to try
a sip of
his drink because it was so good. Taylor snuck a sip while Chloe wasn't
looking. He liked the taste of it very much, so he had another sip. Next,
Zac told Kate to try it. She was a little nervous, but did because she
would do anything for Zac. She too enjoyed it and fixed a drink for herself.
Kristey said nothing when she noticed Isaac fix another drink for everyone
but herself and Chloe. Taylor told Chloe to change the cd because he was
getting sick of listening to the Spice Girls sing their "Zig-a-zag-ah's."
While Chloe was gone, Taylor chugged the whole drink so that Chloe would
not see him drinking
it when she got back. Chloe turned on the Godzilla soundtrack. When
she got back, she saw Taylor putting down a glass. She walked right over
to him, questioning his drink. Taylor played off the drink.
Chloe said, "You better call your parents and tell them you are spending
the night at the host's house or something. You know, from the Halloween
party?" Taylor agreed to that one, so he called up Mr. and Mrs. Hanson
to tell them. Chloe then decided to take charge, and bring the drinking
to an end. She told everyone that if they drink anymore, that they will
get drunk, and Kate's parents will be likely to notice so much liquor missing.
They all put the liquor away just for Chloe's sake. Now the liquor begins
to take its course. Zac and Kate, being the smallest there, got drunk the
fastest. Kate and Zac went upstairs, and as they did, Isaac yelled to them
"Don't do anything I wouldn't do," and gave them a wink. Zac just laughed
as they walked up the steps. Chloe told Taylor and Isaac that she was really
worried that something bad might happen. Taylor and Isaac, now being effected
by the alcohol, didn't seem to care and said that Zac and Kate would be
fine. Isaac walked over to Kristey and lifted up her shirt a little ways
and began kissing her stomach. Kristey pulled away from him and told him
that she wasn't about to do anything with him since he was drunk.
******************************************************************************
Zac and Kate had barely made it up the steps into the hallway, when
Zac pulled Kate to the ground with him. He began to kiss her mouth and
Kate definitely kissed him back. The two were so out of it that they both
were up for anything. Kate moved from his mouth and tried to take of his
shirt. Zac let her and then did the same to her. All of the sudden, Taylor
and Chloe ran up the steps and practically tripped on Zac and Kate. Taylor
just laughed and kept walking, but Chloe was a little more concerned. She
told Kate to slow down before following Taylor. At this point, the mood
was completely lost for
Zac and Kate, and Zac got sick and had to run to the bathroom. Kate
tried to put on her shirt, but had trouble because she had lost her coordination,
due to the alcohol. She ran after Zac to help him.
******************************************************************************
Isaac and Kristey were still downstairs, in the basement. Kristey agreed
to let Isaac kiss her, but she wouldn't go any farther than that. The two
kissed for a while and then broke apart and just sat beside each other,
watching tv. Isaac felt fine, because the alcohol hadn't effected him as
much as his brothers.
******************************************************************************
Taylor and Chloe were in Kate's bedroom. Chloe was kind of upset with
Taylor for drinking and all. She kept asking him why he did it when he
knew it was wrong. Taylor could only say he was sorry and that he shouldn't
have done it.
