Tulsa, Indiana, and the Middle of Nowhere
Chapter One- THIS IS 100% TRUE!!!!
Months
and months of exciting anticipation were finally over. Amy,
Mel and Cari were finally on their way to Tulsa, Oklahoma!!! They
had been planning this trip for months and after stopping at Taylor University,
James Dean's grave, and a Holiday Inn express, they were finally in the
city limits of Tulsa! They had their mission- to find Isaac, Taylor
and Zac Hanson's house and find the places they had read so much about.
After checking into their hotel and taking showers, the girls were on their
way to find the Hanson's house and begin their mission. Cari drove
the car and Mel opened the map- ready to navigate. They put Middle
of Nowhere in the CD player and their excitement began to build as MmmBop
began to play and as they crossed the Arkansas river. After an hour,
they were still lost and finally decided to look for someone to ask
directions. A nice woman who was out walking directed them back a
few turns and they finally turned on the right road. As they drove
by the house Amy, Mel and Cari gasped as they saw a big white van, a red
jeep, a minivan and a red Camero parked in the Hanson's driveway.
Cari quickly turned the car around and parked behind a big white van
full of other fans from Texas. "Please! We came farther than them,
hello!" Cari said sarcastically, still tired and agrivated from all of
the driving she had done so far that day. They stared at the house
in disbelief and after a few minutes a girl walked up to their car.
She showed them a card with a picture of the boys on it. "Did you
get one of these in the mail? It's about the fan club" she said and the
girls shook their heads to say no. The girl handed them four cards.
At that moment a little boy with blonde hair and wearing a black shirt
came out the front door and began dancing around. He wasn't out long
before turning back around and going back through the door. Amy,
Mel and Cari gasped. The girl who had given them the cards
smiled and said "Yeah, that is their brother. Their mom is here,
their sisters are here and the baby's here. Their dad is with them
working on things for the fan club in L.A." "You say they aren't
here?" Amy asked. "Nope they're not" she replied and with that she
walked back to the other van to talk to the other fans. At that moment,
their brother- Mackenzie- came out again, this time with another little
boy. They danced around for awhile and then began to play with a
small white keyboard. Amy, Mel and Cari looked on with amazement.
A little girl with blonde hair and an orange shirt came outside and they
gasped again. "Avery...."Mel whispered barely able to speak and not believing
her eyes! A little while later all of the kids went inside with the
two girls that had talked to the fans. Mel and Cari got out of the
car and began to take pictures. Soon people begain coming out
of the house and the girls stopped and stared as a woman with long blonde
hair came out of the house carrying a baby. They couldn't believe
their eyes! They were seeing DIANA Hanson- the boys mom and their
new baby sister Zoe!!! One of the girls from the house shouted to
a guy who was in the yard- "Ashley, do you have keys to the red
car?" he nodded and moved the Camero in front of the house so that
the mini van could leave the driveway. Amy thought to herself, "Where
have I heard that name before?" and realized that Ashley was the name of
one of Taylor's friends that he had mentioned in interviews! They
were looking at one of Taylor's friends!!!! Everyone seemed
to be leaving. Diana, Zoe, Ashley, Mackenzie and Avery stayed but
the two girls and a woman had left in their minivan and the big van with
the other fans from Texas left too. After everyone had gone back
into the house Cari started the engine and they were on their way too.
As the days went on the girls went by the house A LOT and at different
times of the day. They also went to Laserquest,
Rex's, The Blue Rose Cafe,
Woodland Hills mall, Bell's amusement park,
and they saw the statue of the Golden Driller.
They left a package at the house for all of the Hanson kids: passes for
Laserquest for Isaac, Taylor, and Zac; stickers for Jessica, Avery and
Mackenzie; and a teething ring for Zoe.
It was finally their
last day in Tulsa and Amy, Mel and Cari packed up the car and checked out
of the hotel. They went by the house and noticed that the garage
door was open! They quickly turned the car around and parked near
the garage. They took a good look and could barely believe their
eyes! Hanging in the garage- in full view was the big yellow and
black pansy from the MmmBop video. The girls gasped and began
to excitingly take pictures and Amy zoomed the video camera in to capture
the moment. After awhile a jeep came into the driveway and a woman
got out. She walked into the garage and soon the
garage door began to close. The girls let out a sad sigh...
