"Guys, come on, get up!!" Jessica whined.
I opened my eyes slowly and there was Jessie.
"Hey Jes, since when are you in charge of waking us up?" I joked.
"Since daddy, told me to," The sweet girl replied.
I stepped out of my bed and looked around the room. Amanda in the bed next to my bed, and Zac snoring on the couch. "Need help?" I asked her.
"Yeah, my brothers are SO hard to wake up!"
"GUYS, COME ON GET UP!!!!!!!!!" I screamed.
Just then everyone’s eyes slowly opened. "Wow, magic. Thanks, sis," Jessie said.
"Sis? Yeah, okay, no prob," I replied surprised by Jessie calling me sis.
"Well, you ARE like a sister to me, so I might as well start calling you sis."
"Oh, okay, kewl kewl kew," I said as she walked back to her room, "Come on guys, we gotta go to Universal Studios today, LET’S GO!!!!!"
I ran into the bathroom, took a shower and got dressed into my white tank top with real baggy overalls, and decided to wear the same white shoes as Jessie bought last week at the mall, which she was also wearing today.
When I came out of the bathroom I found Zac, Tay and Ike dressed, watching cartoons with a dressed Mackie while Amanda, in her payamas, lay on her bed reading this month’s Seventeen.
"It’s about damn time you’re done!" Amanda said and ran into the bathroom.
"Hi guys," I said and gave Mac a big kiss.
"Aww, Tamarah, did you HAVE to? Yuck, I got lipstick all over my NOSE!" Mac said and ran into the other room screaming to his mom for a kleenex.
I jumped on the bed and grabbed the Seventeen, Amanda was reading. In about half an hour Amanda came out of the bathroom ready to go.
"Hey babe," Ike said.
Just then Diana and Walker walked in the room, with Zoe in Diana’s arms and Avery and Jessie behind them. "You guys all ready to go?" Diana asked.
"Yeah, finally. It took those girls hours to get dressed!" Zac yelled.
"Shut up, you goof!!" I said and threw a pillow in his face.
We all got up and went downstairs with the elevator, with thankfully no mobs.
Mackie ran to the van with Avery running after him, they were so excited about going to Universal Studios that day.
Zac and I walked hand in hand while Ike and Amanda did the same thing. "Here Jess, give me your hand," Taylor said to his younger sister.
"No, I ain’t holding on to your hand. How old do you think I am? 3? Correction, I’m 10!" Jessie replied.
We all got settled in the van. It was an hour drive there. On the way there we sang along to tapes.
When we got there was a long line up in front of the cashisters.
"Oh great, I just hope there won’t be any mobs," Jessie said.
Finally after a long 20 minutes of waiting we got into the park.
"Come on guys, let’s do this quick, so that we can enjoy the park later!" Walker yelled.
We practically ran to the stage. When we got to the stage there were people setting up all the seats. The stage was completely empty though, except for some speakers.
"Where are my drums?" Zac yelled.
"Yeah, where’s my keyboard?" Tay asked.
"And WHERE is my guitar?" Ike asked.
"And where in the hell is my microphone?" I screamed.
"We gotta set it all up, guys!" Some guy from behind us yelled.
"Crap," Walker said. "Well, guys, you have fun, I’m going to see the park, with Jess, Avie, Mackie and Zoe, I’ll meet you guys at the exit by 5," Diana said, took her kids and walked off.
"Well, guys, let’s get started with MY drums," Zac yelled and started running towards the stairs which took you up to the stage.
"Hey, wait up!!" I yelled and started running after my boyfriend, with Walker, Tay and Ike with Amanda holding on to his hand, running after us.
It took us about an hour to get the damn drums on stage and all plugged in and, y’know how it goes.
"My drums are ALL ready to go guys. Can you believe it? YAY!!!!" Zac yelled and sat on the drummer’s seat and grabbed his drumsticks, as if it were his first time.
"Hey, can I try and play something?" I asked and sat on Zac’s lap, took his drumsticks and just goofed around on the things for the next 20 minutes, while they set up Ike’s guiter.
After about 5 minutes they finished.
"Hey, Tammie, come over here and I’ll teach you the first chords to Mmmbop!" Ike yelled, holding out a guitar for me to grab.
I got from behind the drumset and went over to Ike and grabbed the guitar out of his arms and hung it around my neck.
"Where did the name Tammie, come from, Ike?" I asked.
"I dunno, I like it!" Ike said and taught me the chords while the rest of the gang went down and sat down in the seats and watched me being taught by Ike.
By the time the whole crew finished clapping and cheering for my "wonderfull performance" it was already 4:30.
"Okay, guys, it’s already 4:30 we better start cleaning up for tomorrow, cuz we were supposed to meet Diana and the rest by the exit in half an hour!" Walker informed us.
We all started cleaning up a bit, just to get everything outta the way in case it rained tonight. Although it didn’t look like it was.
Before we knew it I was walking hand in hand with Zac, and Ike and Amanda behind us arm in arm walking toward the exit with Tay looking pissed off and Walker, he was just same ol’ Walker.
Diana was waiting impatiently at the exit with Zoe in her arms, while trying to calm down the hyper Macster, and an impatient Avie, while Jessica was sitting still on a bench near by eating an ice cream cone.
"It’s about time, you guys show up!" Jessica yelled impatiently.
"Well, let’s go back to the hotel for dinner, shall we?" Walker suggested and leaded the rest of his family and me.
We all jumped into the van, with me, Zac and Mackie between us all the way in the back. Walker behind the wheel, with Diana in the passenger seat. Avie, Jessica and Amanda were behind them, with Tay and Ike behind them. I kept noticing how Tay was staring at Amanda, and Ike staring at Tay staring. Zac was busy trying to keep Mackie entertained, while Jessie, Avie and Amanda all played Barbie’s, and Diana and Walker kept a convo going in the front. After a long hour drive we finally got to the hotel.
Amanda and I headed straight up to our room, with Ike, Tay and Zac following us into their room.
We all decided to get into something clean for dinner.
When Amanda and I got downstairs we found the whole family sitting at a table talking.
"Hi guys!" I said as I picked the seat beside Mackie’s and sat down.
"Hey," Zac said and came over and kissed me on the cheek.
"Oh God, Zac, quit the mushy stuff!" Avie joked.
Amanda took the seat beside Ike and sat down.
"So, are y’all excited about your gig tomorrow?" Walker asked.
"Ohhhhh, yeah!!" We all chanted.
"So, Diana are you coming to the park with us for the whole day as well?" Amanda asked.
"Of course, I wanna get great seats to see my boys perform!" Diana joked, since she knew, no matter what she would get great seats.
"Hey dad, are we meeting fans backstage?" Zac asked.
"Nope, I just want you guys to do your show and get back to the hotel right after. Although I do think you’ll have to do some interviews for Access Hollywood and ET and stuff like that," Walker informed the four of us.
"What are we doing on Sunday?" I asked.
"We’ll be going back to the park and clean all of it up, and then after that, we’re heading straight to the airport and fly to London!" Walker replied excitedly, "So that means we’ll all have to pack our bags tonight!"
"Dad, do we have to come to Universal tomorrow AND Sunday?" Jessie asked her father annoyed.
"I’m afraid so. Tomorrow you guys can just do your own thing, hang out in the park, but Sunday you’re gonna have to come or else we’ll miss our flight as soon as we’re done cleaning up," Walker told his daughter.
Just then our orders were served.
We talked and joked while munching down our large pizza that we had ordered.
After that we all went back to our rooms, to pack our bags.
"Wow," Amanda started, "I can’t believe we’re going to London on SUNDAY!!"
"Ohmigod, I know, it’s gonna be so exciting. I have never been there before! I can’t wait to see if the people believe me with my British accent!" I joked.
She laughed. "Tamarah, I think I am gonna break up with Isaac. I just seem to like Tay more, y’know!" Amanda explained to me.
"It’s your thang, girl!" I said and went over to the closet to get more clothes.
Just then Isaac and Zac walked in the room.
"Hey guys, whatcha doin?" Zac asked as I took my underwear out of my drawer not even noticing them coming in. I turned around facing Zac.
"Zac, damnit! Scared the livin shit outta me!" I said as I put my underwear behind me and stuffed it in my suitcase without him seeing.
"Isaac I need to talk to you…….." Amanda said as she sat down on the bed and motioned for Isaac to sit down.
"Guys, can you leave us alone for a sec?" Amanda asked me and Zac.
Me and Zac went into the boys’ room where we found Tay watching cartoons with Mackie and Avie.
"Isaac, listen. I think we should see other people. I mean, that night at the beach was great but today I just realized I liked Tay. I have always liked Tay, since the moment I saw Mmmbop on MTV for the first time, y’know. Please understand!" Amanda explained.
"Oh, okay," Ike started a bit dissapointed, "I kinda thought you liked Tay. The way you always giggle at his jokes and stuff. But, okay, I’m sure he’ll be really happy. He really likes you, Amanda. He got up and went in the boys’ room where he told me, Zac and Tay the depressing news.
Zac, Tay and I walked into our room.
Where I tried to finish packing but Zac wouldn’t stop making us laugh with his weird soundin voices.
Tay and Amanda were talking but I couldn’t make out the words.
By ten o’clock we had all finished packing, and we all had gotten into our PJ’s into our comfy beds.
Me and Amanda were reading the YM’s and Seventeens we bought downstairs in the tabacco type store.
"Tamarah," Amanda started looking up from her magazine.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Me and Tay," she started, "are sorta……goin out?"
"Nah ah, are u shittin me?" I joked.
"AAAHHHHH NO!!!" Amanda screamed.
"Wow, cool!" I said and went back to my magazine while in the boys’ room………
"Guys," Tay started.
"What?" Zac’s voice was the only reply he got since Ike was obviously sleeping.
"I’m going out with Amanda."
"Oh cool," Zac replied sleepily and after that, we all drifted off into a nice, goodnight sleep.
