"....And then, you were going out with Tay, and I was going out with Zac, and then we went on tour with them,, and it was soooooooo cool. And we went to Universal Studios, and I was a singer, which is weird, since I can’t sing! But then in the middle of the performance we called you up on the stage and you performed MMMBop with them with you and me as back-up singers....." Tamarah blabbed on and on, on their way to Hanson's second concert of the '99 tour where her and Amanda were gonna meet Hanson backstage with Amanda’s Moe passes.
"Okay, Tams, I get your point, now will you shut up!!!!!" Amanda yelled as she straightened out the red and blue tank top she was wearing and re-applied her lipstick in front of the little Cover Girl mirror she carries around everywhere she goes.
"NO!! Why should I? You should be happy to hear everything because after all...you were going out with Taylor!!" Tamarah pointed out and elbowed her in her stomach to remind her about how much she was in love with Taylor.
Amanda Speakman had been in love with Taylor Hanson since the moment she saw the blonde on MTV on him and his brother’s MMMBop video.
It got even worse when she became friends with them online through a mutual friend. That’s when she realized she was completely in love with him.
It was the same case between Tamarah Sikorski and Zac Hanson. She also became friends with Taylor and Zac through the same mutual friend. Taylor was like a big brother to him. Although they never met, and today was the day, she was going to surprise them backstage at the Cincinnati Hanson concert, with her best friend Amanda, after not talking to them for almost 2 years now.
"Haha HA, and you were going out with Mr. Pukkerbutt a.k.a. Zac, so I wouldn’t be talking, sista friend!!" She exclaimed and elbowed Tamarah back.
"ARE WE ALMOST THERE, MOM??" Amanda yelled to Mrs. Speakman who was driving us in the passenger seat.
"Yes, angel, just 15 more minutes and we’re there," Judy replied.
"WAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Amanda and Tamarah both screamed.
15 more minutes were wasted as the 13 and 15 year olds touched up their make up.
As they pulled up into the parking lot, there were millions of girls everywhere screaming with signs that read "I love Zac" or "WE LOVE YOU".
"What time are we supposed to go backstage, Amanda?" Tamarah asked brushing her hair one last time.
"17 more minutes ‘till then," she screamed jumping up and down.
"Thanks for the ride, Mrs Speakman, we’ll see you in about an hour at the seats!! Tamarah informed her friend’s mother.
"All right, you tell those boys I said hello!" She told us and gave us each a peck on our forehead.
"WHOO BUDDY, we are FINALLY gonna meet our men, Tams!!"
"Neh shit, doodle!!" Tamarah replied.
Doodle was the nickname Zac had given her 10 months earlier. Zac named Tamarah Noodle. The 2 girls had nicknamed, Zac Toodle, Taylor Zoodle and Ike Poodle and had called themselves the "Oodle Clan".
As they made their way up the stairs towards the stage, they tried to figure out what they were going to say.
Just then Zac came into view who was chasing Mackie around as if he were some monster.
"TOODLE?!?!" Tamarah questioned.
Zac looked around wondering where the word "Toodle" had came from.
"OVER HERE!!!!" Amanda yelled and started waving her hand in the air.
Zac walked over still not knowing what was going on. After all, he’d never seen a picture of us, and certainly didn’t know we were coming to the concert, and forget coming backstage. He was wearing dark blue baggy khakis with a white t-shirt to match. Zac had a pair of wrap-around silver sunglasses on.
"Sorry, did you just call me Toodle?" He asked with a frown on his tanned face.
"Yeah, got a prob with that Mr. Pukkerbutt??" Tamarah shouted holding her fist up.
"Toodle? Pukkerbutt? Why do I have a feeling I know you from somewhere?" He questioned.
"Because you do," Amanda informed him.
"Oh my Gooooood, Tamarah? Amanda? Is that you?" Zac asked looking at us with his eyes halfway closed.
"Yup, that’s us!!" Amanda replied.
"WOW!!!!!!! Hey you guys!! What are you doing here? WOW!!!! I’ll...I’ll be right back, I’ll go get Taylor! Ike went out to get food with my parents!" He said and wondered around for Taylor.
As he went out of view the 2 girls started screaming and jumping like crazy.
"AAAHH THEY REMEMBER US TOO!!!!!" Tamarah screamed pulling her hair, "WOW!!!!"
"Chill girl, come on, stay cool," Amanda said waving a hand in front of her face to cool off a bit.
