| <~~ Back ~~> Back Home 4 Months Later “Taylor, did you dust the garage like I asked you to?” Isaac asked Taylor who was sitting on the floor. “Yes, Ike.” Isaac was in Spring-Cleaning Mode, and he had everyone in the Hanson family cleaning every inch of the house. Taylor hated it when Isaac was in these moods. “Zac, would you quit running circles around the couch and pick up the Lego’s you have lying around the house?” Isaac asked Zac, annoyed. “Aww, do I have to??” Zac asked, still running in circles. “Yes!! Don’t mouth off to me boy!! Tell ya what,” Isaac said to everyone in the living room, “if we can get the whole house cleaned in 30 minutes, and I mean spotless, then I’ll take everyone out to see that movie you’ve been begging me to take you to.” Everyone in the Hanson clan let out a cheer and got to work. “Ike, do we really have to do this now? I mean, we’re famous, and in a very successful band. Shouldn’t we be practicing or something?” Taylor asked. “Yes, we are, but we’ve still got a house to run, we still have little siblings, and we have to keep this place clean. Family comes before music. Now, how about you take a break. You’ve been working hard all day,” Isaac said, patting Taylor on the back. Taylor roller bladed to the Mall of Tulsa, hoping some of his friends would be there. “Oh my god!! It’s Taylor Hanson!! AAAHHH!!” A girl yelled. Suddenly, a group of girls starting running towards him like wild animals. Fearing for his life, he started running as fast as he could through the mall. He turned around to see how far ahead of the girls he was, when he ran into someone. “Oh, I’m sorry,” He said. “That’s okay.” The girl said, with annoyance in her voice. “I really didn’t mean it, I was just running from those girls who were chasing me and--” “What girls?” The girl asked, cutting him off. He turned and saw all the girls had disappeared. “Um, well, there were about 100 girls chasing me, but...” He trailed off. The girl rolled her eyes. Taylor noticed they were the most interesting shade of gray he had ever seen. She picked her bags up off the ground and then walked away. “Hey, wait a minute,” Taylor yelled, chasing after her. She stopped and turned to him. “What?” She asked. “Well, umm, what’s your name?” He asked. “Why do you care?? You’re Taylor Hanson, you’re famous, plus you guys suck.” “Why does it matter if I’m famous?? I just want to know your name,” he said, defending himself. She sighed. “Madeline, my name is Madeline,” She said, walking off. “Wait! Why do you keep running away from me?” Taylor pissily asked. “Because!! Why do you keep asking me so many questions?” Madeline retorted. They angrily stared at one another, and then in the heat of the moment, started violently making out. “Tay!! What took you so long??” Isaac asked as Taylor walked into the house, 3 hours later. “I was just hanging out at the mall. What’s up your ass?” Taylor asked. “What’s that on your neck there?” Isaac questioned. Taylor felt his neck. Uh oh, he though. “I don’t know. Something must have bitten me. It’s not a big deal,” Taylor replied, taking his hair out of the pony tail so it was resting on his shoulders. “Taylor, did you make out with a girl?!?” Isaac giddily asked. Taylor smiled a little and finally said, “YES!! Oh my god, Ike!! It was so weird! I was just in the mall, and then these girls started chasing me, then I ran into this girl, and then one thing lead to another and we started making out!!” Taylor exclaimed. He jumped up and down in excitement. Then Isaac joined him. “What’s going on??” Zac asked as he ran into the living room. “Nothing, Zachary. Nothing at all,” Isaac said to him. “There has to be something going on, because you guys are all excited, Doode,” Zac said. “Zachary, did you clean the restroom like I asked you to??” Isaac asked, changing the subject. “Yes, Mommy Isaac. Like, forever ago, yo! Tell me what happened!” Zac whined. Taylor and Isaac stared at him for a few seconds, and Zac got restless with waiting, so he started running circles around the couch again. “Did you get her number?” Isaac asked Taylor once Zac was involved in his running. “Yep! Her name is Madeline, is that not ironic?!?” Taylor exclaimed. “Oh Li’l Bro, you’ve done well for yourself this year!” Isaac said, his eyes tearing up a bit. “Ike, don’t get all mushy on me!” “I’m sorry, I know. I’m sorry, it’s just, my Li’l Tay-Tay is growing up,” Isaac wept. “Ike, don’t cry. You’re gonna get all flustered,” Taylor said, handing him a tissue. “I’m sorry, I know. Excuse me, sweetheart,” Isaac said as he went to the restroom. Taylor heard Isaac put on his favorite Barbara Streisand record. He looked at Zac, who was still running circles around the couch, his favorite pastime. He dug his hands in his pocket and took out Madeline’s phone number. He put it next to the phone so it‘d be there if he ever felt like calling her. Isaac came out of the restroom, and Zac stopped running around the couch. They took a seat on the floor by Taylor’s feet. “You know what I’ve realized,” Taylor said to them. “What’s that?” Isaac asked. “I’m the hottest guy in the world, I mean, come one, I’m Taylor fucking Hanson, and I can’t keep a girlfriend!! Ike, what should I do???” “Well, Li’l bro, there’s not much I can tell you about that. You just gotta keep getting out there and trying new things,” Isaac replied, giving him an encouraging thumbs up. “Still. Is there something wrong with me?? All 3 girlfriends I’ve had this year have broken up with me.” He sadly sighed to himself. Suddenly Zac jumped up. “Taylor, I know what can cheer you up!!” Zac exclaimed while bouncing up and down. “What?” Taylor quietly asked. “MAKEOVERS!!!” He continued bouncing up and down and giddily clapping his hands. Taylor and Isaac looked at each other then jumped up and joined him. “We haven’t done makeovers in forever!!” Isaac blissfully exclaimed. They stopped jumping up and down and did a giggly group hug. “Screw girls, all I need are my brothers!!” Taylor affectionately said. The three handsome Hanson brothers embraced once again before running hand in hand to their bedroom. And they lived happily ever after. The End p.s.- There was a lemon, too. |
