"Hey guys!"
"Hey Lise," Taylor said.
"Ugh," Zac said,his eyes never leaving the Super Nintendo. Lise smiled faintly.
"So how's the record company hunting going?" She asked Taylor.
"Well," Taylor said,his eyes sad. "I think it can best be expressed as 'Ugh'."
"I'm sorry Taylor. I don't get what these record companies are thinking! I mean,you guys are great!! You write your own songs,you play your own music,you have GREAT voices,I mean,your almost as good as me! AND your so young-ok maybe I do see whats wrong. You guys are perfect. Maybe they think your staged?"
"Thanks Lise," Taylor said sarcastically,smiling. "you always know JUST what to sayto make me feel better!!!!"
"Hey,your smiling aren't you? Thats good enough for me!"
Just then,Isaac came in,still cluting his stomach.
"Dang Lise!!!! You've got alot of straingth. Have you ever considered trying out for resiling?"
"Oh Isaac,just because you're a wimp doesn't mean you have to emabaress yourself in front of your brothers." Lise said rolling her eyes.
"Hi Ike," Taylor said smiling.Zac smirked.
"So," Lise said,chaging the subject. "what are you guys doing for my birthday this year?"
"Oh yah!!!!!" Isaac said. "you have a birthday this month. When is it again? What do you want to do?"
Lise frowned. "Its tommorow. I'm turning 10. You forgot?"
"Sorry Li, there was the record thing,and the news about Mackie... you can see how we got sidetracked," Taylor said sheepishly.
" What news about Mackie? Is he ok?" Lise asked anxiosly.
"Yah,its just that he was at Devin's and when he got home,Devin's mom called and said Devin had the Chicken pox,so we're all worried. Maybe you shouldn't be here." Taylor said.
Lise smiled. "don't worry. I had the chiken pox when i was 4. BUT, what I want to do for my birthday is go play layser Tag!"
That got Zac's attention. "YAH!!!!!!!! LAYSER TAG!!!!!!!!! ALL RIGHT!!!!!!!!!" Zac said really loudly.
"ZAC!!! SHUT UP!!!" Lise and Taylor yelled together.
"Well you were louder than me." Zac grumbled. Lise and Taylor grinned at each other.
"Hey,break it up you two!" Isaac said grinning. "Taylor,you trying to steal my woman?"
"YOUR WOMAN?!!" Taylor said. "Nu-uh. She's my woman. Always has been always will be. Don't even try and steal her because you'll only be hurting yourself!"
With that,Isaac and Taylor started rolling around on the floor yelling things like "MINE!!!!" "NO TAY,SHE"S MINE!!!!"
Lise looked at Zac. "they were just looking for an excuse to do that weren't they?" Lise asked.
"Yep."
"I think Its time for me to break in."
"Yep."
"Don't you ever say anything besides 'YEP'?"
"Yep."
"Don't you think you aughta go befor they bring you into this?"
"Yep!" Zac yelled racing across the room and hurring up the stairs. Lise shaking her head,smiling, she turned back to the guys who were still saying things like "MINE!" "NO MINE!".
"Ahem. Excuse me fellas,can I say something?" She asked.
"Sure!" Isaac said.
"I AM NOT,and I repeat,AM NOT ANYONES EXCEPT Gods! I DO not BELONG TO EITHER ONE OF YOU!!!! IS THAT CLEAR?!!"
"Yes ma'am. Sorry." The boys replied together.
"Thank you. Now see you tomorrow. Goodbey." Lise walked out the door.
"Isaac?"
"Yah Tay?"
"WHere's Zac?"
"Upstairs?"
"Lets go." They raced upstairs. Moments later A scream could be heard through the whole house.
