Lise stood in front of the hanson's doorway,waiting for someone to answer it. She heard punding i front of the door and Jessica answered.

"Hey Lisie,Luke and Tim," Jessica said."Happy birthday!" "Thanks Jessi! Where are your brothers?"

"They're upstairs putting on cologne-opps! I wasn't supossed to tell you!"

"Thanks Jessi! Thats exactly what I need to tease them with for the rest of the day!!!!"

"No problem Lise. "

Tim laughed. "You are hopeless."

Lise grinned. "But of course!" turning back to Jessi,she said, " You always were my favorite Hanson!"

"I thought I was your favorite Hanson?" Came a voice from the doorway.

"What bout Me?"

Looking up Lise saw Mackie and Avie standing in the doorway.

"Ok,its a toss-up. I love you all!"

"Oh,let me get my camera! I just live SAPPY moments!" Came a high pitch voice from inside.

"Isaac. You are annoying!"

"I know. Isn't it fun?"

"Isaac,"Tim said. "You know no one can annoy Lise." Lise smiled thankfully.

"No one except me of course!"

"Tim!"

Luke smiled,always the peace maker. " You guys,you are always annoyong each other. Lets make our birthday a day of peace."

Lise and Tim looked at each other...

"Ok. " They said together.

" . Hey Tay,Zac. WOW! Did someone take a shower in cologne? It smells in this doorway. You know,there's a time when CK gets a LITTLE strong,don't ya think?" Lise said.

"I can't belive that!" Taylor said.

"Your just mad cause you lost.:" Lise said.

"Come on,I'll buy you lunch."

"No I'm not hungry."

"What? Your not hungry? Are you feeling ok?"

Lise placed a hand on his forehead.

" You're cool. No fever. I'm really worried about you."

"Lise,I'm fine. Don't worry. I'mjust not hungry."

"Thats what worries me."

"Come on. Lets head back."

"Where are Ike and Zac?"

"Out in the car."

"Oh."

10 minutes later.

"SUPRISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Lise stood in shock at the doorway of her house.

" WOW" was all she could say.

"Are you surprised?" Avie asked.

There in her livingroom was the whole hanson family, Her parents,older sister,her best friends Lindsey, Allison Tiffany,Ruth, and ...Desiree!!!!

"Desi? How'd you get here?!!" Lise asked excitedly.

"Well," Lise's look-alike-friend said. "aparently, a Taylor Hanson wouldn't stop calling my house for a month until my foster-mom said I could go." The tall girl with dark blond hair and blue eyes explained. After her father killed her baby brother and mother was arrested for drunk driving,Desiree had been passed from foster family to foster family until coming to live at Dawn and John Ramsha,the paster of Lise's church. The girls were instant best friends. When Desiree was moved to a differenty home in Oklahoma city,The girls couldn't see each other much. Also,there was a THING going on between Desi and Luke. Lise looked at Taylor with tears in her eyes.

"Thank you."

He hugged her and whispered,' meet me outside by the hammock in 5 minutes'. She looked at him questiningly,but he wouldn't return her gaze.
