That particular day she chose to do that. And so did a family of 8 who were on their vacation. And they were no ordinary family, they were the Hanson family. Yes, the famous Walker, Diana, Isaac, Taylor, Zac, Jessie, Avie, and Mac - Hanson family. Stacey lived in Hawaii on the island of Kauai. She just turned 12 years old with brown hair and eyes. Her favorite band, of course, was Hanson. She liked all of the Hanson brothers, she didn't have favorites. She loved the way all of their voices blended together to make an extra special sound, that was made into 13 totally cool songs, that made the CD: Middle of Nowhere.
She also liked to do art, rollerblade, and play soccer. That day she went to her favorite spot, not even noticing the blue cvan parked by the curb. She walked her bike from the street to the corner where she parked her bike. She didn't know that after she went around that corner she would have her biggest dream (to meet or even see Hanson) come true. She leaned her bike on a tree and turned the corner just in time to be hit with a Tarzan scream from Zac, and a soccer ball. "OW!" yelled Stacey clutching her left shin and because of lack of balance, dropped to the grass.
"OOOPS!" said Zac running to Stacey to see if she was all right. "ZZaacc!" said Isaac and Taylor together also running to see if Stacey was all right. "Are you all right?" Zac asked. "I think." said Stacey. "I'll be okay." Stacey looked up and looked at Isaac, Taylor, and Zac. She was speechless. "Are you Hanson?" "Yeah. You've heard of us?" Zac asked. "Heard of you?! Nearly everyone here loves you guys!" Stacey totally forgot her throbbing shin. "Really?" said Taylor blushing.
After an uncomfortable silence Isaac said, "Uh,what's your name?" "Stacey," said Stacey after getting over the fact that she was not dreaming. "But my friends call me Stace. And I know all your names. Your parents are Diana and Walker, and then you guys, then Jessie, Avie, and Mac." "This is mother bird calling baby bird. Baby bird come in, come in baby bird, for the love of Pete come in! This is baby bird...Sorry I was watching court TV. Do you copy, Do you copy? Of course we copy...24 hours a day...In color!" screamed Zac. "What was that suppose to mean?" asked Isaac. "I don't know, I just felt like saying that!" said Zac throwing his hands up. Every one started to laugh.
After all the laughing stopped Diana said, "Would you like to join us?" But before Stacey could reply she added, "It wouldn't be a problem." After Diana reassured Stacey it would be fun to have her join them, Stacey agreed. "Are you really okay?" Zac asked for what seemed like the millionth time someone asked her. "Oh, yeah I'm perfectly fine!" Stacey reassured every one she was fine. Stacey told them that she often rode her bike there to draw, listen to (them) Middle of Nowhere, and just to do something. "Your parents let you?!" Zac said in amazement.
"Well, they don't know I come here. It is summer and my parents both work, and I don't go to summer school...So I just come here." "COOL!!!!!!" yelled Zac with wide eyes. Stacey found the whole Hanson family nice and just a normal family. She also found that Taylor wasn't as shy as BB and Bop magazines make him, and that Ike was not as serious, and that Zac would get along great with her best friend Susie, who was slightly younger than her and Zac.
When nearly everyone was done eating Zac said, "Do you like soccer?" "Like it? I love soccer!" "Well you wanna play? When the ball bumped into you we had just started playing. But since Taylor is better than Ike and I(*author note:I'm not saying Taylor is better, but I'll just pretend that he is.), it was me and Ike vs. Taylor. So you can be on Taylor's team. Okay?" "Okay!" Stacey was nearly screaming. After 5 minutes of playing everyone saw that Stacey was better than all of them (*author note:I'm probably terrible compared to them!).
"Okay, lets change the rules: Don't let Stacey get the ball!" screamed Zac. "Keep-away from Stacey!" Taylor sped away with the ball, but Stacey was even faster and took it away! She headed off with the ball, wizzed passed Ike, but was met by Zac who passed it to Taylor again. Stacey ran to Taylor who fell to the floor, covered his head and yelled, "PLEASE! HAVE MERCY!" Everyone started to laugh again. Zac started singing a part from Madeline, "Madeline, here we go 'round again!" "What a dork
Zac!" Taylor yelled picking grass out of his hair and off his shirt. "You're the dork Taylor, falling down like a wimp!" Ike yelled. Then everyone started yelling someone was a dork. It would have been one of the most funniest thing you would have seen!
After the dork thing stopped Stacey looked at her watch, it was 2:15! She had been with the Hanson's for more than 3 hours! But she knew that she could stay till 5:00 because her parents got home at 5:30. "Do you have to go somewhere?" asked Ike. "No, not yet." "Wanna take a break? I think I need one." Taylor said exhausted. "Sure!" said Stacey with an exhausted sigh. Stacey was about to reach into her backpack but stopped, Hanson soda, Would they think she was obsessed with them? Would they even see its name?
She decided to take a chance. She put her hand all around the can, (or tried to) calmly opened it and took a sip. "What are you drinking?" Zac asked Stacey. :Um, uh........" Everyone gave her a questioning look. She looked around for a fascinating bug or anything! Her eye met what Diana was passing to Zac, Hanson soda! She broke into a smile, "What you're drinking!" Zac looked at what he was holding. "Hey cool! Soda with our name on it! Ike, Tay, look!" "Cool!" said Taylor. "Yeah, where'd you get it mom?" Ike asked. "The store. I thought you'd all like to try it." explained Diana. "Cool, huh?" "Awesome Dude!" Zac said with a surfer accent and a thumb up. "Hey Tay, Ike, wanna go buy out the store?" he asked. "Yeah, sure Zac!" Ike said sarcastically.
Stacey stayed with the Hanson's until Diana said, "Oh my. Come on guys. We have to go to that interview. Sorry." "Oh, Man!" said Zac as he kicked the ground. Then he broke into a smile, "Hey mom can Stacey come?!" Before Diana had a chance to think he said, "She'll be good! Please?!" "Well, what will her parents say? She may, as long as her parents say Yes." "YEAH!!! Stacey call your parents, ask them! Ask them!" Zac yelled. "But she'll have to ride all the way home. Want us to come?" said Taylor. "If you want to, you can." Stacey replied.
"We were hoping you'd say that." Taylor blushed like crazy. "So who is going?" Diana asked. "Ike, you have to stay and help with Mac, Avie, and Jessie." "Okay." Isaac said. "Okay, my house isn't to far, just maybe two minutes." said Stacey. "Yeah!" screamed Zac. "Okay, so how are we suppose to get to the interview?" Taylor asked. "None of us can drive, and if we could, what?" "We'll stay here and clean up then you guys have a head start, and we'll follow you. Will that be okay?" "Fine." said Taylor, Zac, and Stacey, happy that they didn't have to help clean. And off the three went.
Stacey asked how being one of the most famous groups in the world felt. Taylor said it felt like they were gonna be on the front page of every magazine cover for the rest of their life. Taylor asked Stacey how it felt to live in Hawaii. Stacey said it was just like living in any place, only it doesn't snow, or have such big cities or anything. Zac asked how it felt to be walking with people that were one of the most popular people in the world.
"It feels like we have an audience." said Stacey looking at the parade of cars behind them. "Oh, no!" Taylor moaned. "Lets make a run for it!" said Zac running. Stacey and Taylor looked at each other, shrugged, and started to run too. The cars all started to go faster. Stacey saw that in the very back of the line the Hanson's blue van. Ike leaned out and motioned for her to turn right, run, and hide. Stacey nodded. She told Taylor what the plan was, then called Zac back. Taylor grabbed Zac's hand and Zac yanked Stacey's and they all ran across the street.
They ducked behind a bush and waited for the cars to pass. When all the cars went passed (excepted the Hanson's)Taylor, Zac, and Stacey came out from hiding. After Stacey called her parents and got permission to go,(which she thanked them many times for) Stacey called her best friend Susie. She dialed and hoped her friend would be home or not on the phone. It rang twice before Susie answered. "Hi, Susie. Um, I have kind'a big news." she said. "Go on!" Susie urged. "Well, um, hansonisinmykichen."
"Someone ate your chicken?" "No! Um, you knowwho Hanson is, right?" "No duh! Go on! Stacey just say it." Susie was starting to sound desperate. "Okay, No screaming, Okay?" "Okay!" "Okay. Um, Taylor say hi to my friend Susie." Stacey said as she spotted Taylor. Uh, hi!" Taylor said into the phone.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Susie screamed. Taylor jerked back from the phone. "MOM!! STACEY MET HANSON!!! TAYLOR JUST SAID HI TO ME!!!!!!!!!" Taylor looked at Stacey.
"Actually, she's really nice." Stacey explained as Susie's voice kept screaming through the phone. "If I was blind, I would have thought she was on speakerphone! Volume on high!" Taylor said. "Stacey you wouldn't lie to me right?!" Susie asked, sounding a little more calm. "This is the real thing Susie. Just act normal. Hold on." Stacey put her hand over the mouth piece, "Would it be all right if she comes? I'll gag her if she screams." "Yeah, sure. Um, Stacey? Zac and I promised the interview people that we would have girlfriends when they interviewed us and well, would you and Susie take the honors? It would just be an interview?"
Taylor got on his knees and put on a sad face. "Oh, stop it! Well, I guess. I'll ask Susie if she can. Susie? You wanna come to an interviewwith us? Okay, great! See you in an hour. Okay, no, you don't need to get a manicure! All right, not a pedicure either! Okay. Bye!" What strange friends I have, Stacey thought. "So if you're gonna be my girlfriend you just act like you've known us forever, hold my hand, stuff like that. But I will not kiss anyone, okay? I mean unless its to do CPR and you're dying or something." Though I wouldn't mind, he thought. "Deal!"
After Stacey took a shower and changed her clothes only a couple million times. Off they went! When they got to Susie's house she stepped off her porch and said Hi to everyone. "Did you tell her she's gonna be Zac's girlfriend?" Taylor whispered. "I'll tell her." Stacey leaned over to Susie, "Uh, Susie? Um we're going to an interview and...." she told Susie that she was going to have to be Zac's girlfriend and she would be Taylor's. "Oh gosh!" Susie said. "I'll be all over the TV and my friends are all watching, and they'll see me, Susie Alapa, be Zac Hanson's girlfriend!" "Will you do it?" Stacey asked. "Sure!"
"Okay. Zac, you got your girlfriend, Susie." said Taylor. "We have girlfriends, Ike doesn't!" Zac said in a sing-song voice.
