Just then Taylor and Zac came into view. Taylor was wearing a tight, white t-shirt, black and jeans, and black boots.

I glanced over at Amanda and she looked like she was ready to pass out.

"It’s ok, Amanda!!" Tamarah whispered.

"Hey guys," Taylor said and stuck out his hand for us to shake.

Tamarah and Amanda both decided to ignore the hand and just go with a hug.

"WHAT ABOUT ME?!?!?!" Zac shouted loud enough for his mom to come up on stage to see what was going on.

They both gave him a hug, just 2 seconds before Diana asked………

"Zachary Walker Hanson!! Get your tiny lil’ hands off that girl right now!!" Diana shouted, hopefully joking.

They all looked at her wide-eyed.

"I’m joking guys, geez, take a joke already. Now, are you gonna introduce me to your girlfriends?" She said flipping her hair.

"Diana Hanson, this is Tamarah…….Sikorski, and that is Amanda Speakman," Zac introduced us while pointing to the 2 girls.

"Hi!" They all said to each other. After that Diana went to go look for Mackie who was obviously still running around like a chicken with his head chopped off.

"So, wow……." Taylor said, who was obviously speechless.

"So how are Noodle and Doodle?" Zac asked.

"Just grrrrrreat!" Tamarah said as if she was Tony The Tiger.

"So, wow, I still can’t believe you’re standing here in front of me, how have you 2 been?" Taylor asked tucking a piece of his strawberry blond hair behind his ear.

"Pretty ok. Well, technically miserable, we miss all of your e-mails," Amanda explained as she waved her hand in front of her face, as if it would cool her off since it was really hot inside the building, especially backstage with all the lights around.

"Oh, we are SO sorry, we’ve basically been too busy to write back, we still read them though!" Zac explained.

"Look, Amanda, can I talk to you for a minute? Wanna go for a walk or somethin?" Taylor asked.

"Yeah, sure! Now Tams and Zac can get to know each other, if you know what I mean," Amanda said and elbowed me again.

As Tay and Amanda took off, Zac and I were left by ourselves standing there in silence for about at least 2 minutes.

"Listen, Tammie, does Doodle still like Tay?" Zac questioned.

"What kind of question is that?? Of COURSE she does!! She talks about him alllllllllll the time! Why? Does he like her or somethin?"

"What are you kidding?? I thought he was gonna give him an orgasm over her! But we were talking about it, when I came to get him, and…..we’re gonna be the hosts of "The Dating Game."

Tamarah agreed to being a host with Zac, and laughed.

In the mean while where Amanda and Taylor were, they were talking about……..

"So is Noodle still in love with Mr. Pukkerbutt?" Taylor asked her.

"Tay, that is about thee stupidest question you’ve ever asked me in the history of our friendship!! That girl, whew, she is NUTS about him! Why, does he still like her?"

"Yeah…..we were talking about it, on our way back to you guys after he came to get me. He said she’s about the "hottest noodle" he’s ever seen. That’s why I asked you to come for a walk, we gotta be matchmakers for those two soon-to-be-lovebirds."

Amanda laughed, and soon they started walking back to wherever Zac and Tamarah might be.
