"Shana!" Shannon shouted as she rubbed her eyes. She had just woken up and Shana wasn't there.

Getting a little nervous and freakish, Shannon got up and wen to the bathroom door it was open and on one was inside. She went out onto the balcony. It was empty too. She sat down on her bed and decided to wait a while before she went ballistic and really hurt somebody.

~ Almost Twenty Minutes Later ~

Shana was running to get inside the hotel. She was getting breakfast at the store in the corner and some one actually recognized her and wanted her autograph. She quickly jumped at this chance. Smiling the whole time that she had chatted with the fan and the time seemingly had slipped away.

"She's gonna kill me. She's gonna kill me. She's gonna kill me." She said over and over as she took the elevator up and went to her door.

Taking out the key she went to unlock it when the door swung open. 'Oops.' Shana said to herself. 'I'm dead.'

"Where have you been?" Shannon asked as she pulled Shana into their room.

Shana lifted up the grocery bags for Shannon to inspect them. "Since I screwed up breakfast yesterday I went and got some stuff to make up for it." She explained slowly.

"And it took you over twenty minutes to do that?" Shannon questioned as she started to take deep breaths.

"Actually I met a fan who wanted my autograph. They wanted to know where you were too. But I didn't think that you wanted me to bring them here just so that you could autograph a napkin." Shana said smiling knowingly.

Shannon smiled a small smile up at Shana. She could never stay mad at her best friend for more than two minutes. It was virtually impossible for her to. "Well, if you did bring them here they would have gotten a first hand look at one of our fights."

Shana laughed. "See that's why I didn't do it. Besides," She said changing the subject. "I got bagels."

Quickly Shannon grabbed one of the bagels and headed for the shower. "I'll be out in a second. Call Casey and say we might be a few minutes late."

"Okay." Shana called back as she went over to the phone.

~ Four Hours Later ~

"Izzy?" Casey called out.

They had just finished the master tape. Everything was done for their album. Everything was ready to start the video. Except Shannon and Shana that is.

"Yeah?" Shannon asked over her shoulder.

"Are we going to do the rain in the video?" She asked as she looked over a few papers.

"I don't know. Who's directing it?" Shannon asked as she walked over to Casey.

"Well, since I know how much you like Hanson and all and Tamra Davis is a real close friend of mine..." Casey hinted around.

"She's gonna direct it for us?" Shana asked excitedly.

Casey nodded smiling. "So what about the rain?" She asked.

Shannon shrugged her tense shoulders. "I don't know right now. Why don't we all talk it over with Tamra tomorrow? That way no one will be in the dark and everything will be in the open." She suggested. She was tired and she wanted to be in her nice bed at the hotel.

"Okay, sounds fair." Casey said as she started to pack up. "We're going to do the railroad scene first though. So we'll call you in the morning telling you where we are, okay?" She asked as she slung her bag over her shoulder.

"Sure." Shana answered for them as they started walking out of the studio. They got to the parking lot and smiled at what awaited them.

"Bored?" Shannon asked as Zac got off the hood of Isaac's car.

Isaac was leaning up against it and Taylor was sitting down on the pavement with his back leaned up against the passenger side door.

"Just thought that you might want to do something fun after a days work." Isaac said smiling as Taylor stood up and brushed off his pants.

"Do you think that we don't have fun in there?" Shana asked smiling too.

Taylor shrugged at this. "We know how frustrating it can get sometimes. I guess that's why you have to love it to do it."

Shannon smiled at him. "Well, we do love it and we actually just finished recording the album."

"And tomorrow we start on the video for 'Let's let Go.'" Shana added.

"Cool!" Zac shouted, wanting to join the conversation.

"So what are we going to do?" Shannon asked as she got in the passenger side.

Taylor, Shana, and Zac squeezed into the back seat, and Isaac slid into the driver’s seat. He smiled at her. "Can't tell ya. It's a secret."

Shannon rolled her eyes. "Oh goodie, goodie, goodie." She said as she clapped her hands. "I like surprises." She said rolling her eyes.

"Am I detecting a little sarcasm?" Zac asked smiling at Shannon.

"I should hope so, 'cause I am laying it on pretty thick." Shannon said shrugging slightly and smiling back at him.

"Well, all that we can tell you is that this place is really cool and fun." Taylor said smiling.

"That's a big help." Shana said laughing. "So Izzy, have you figured it out yet?"

"Funny, Sparky." Shannon said as she watched as the city whizzed by her as she gazed out the window.

~ Two Hours Later ~

Shannon looked at Isaac, Taylor, and Zac. They had gone to a small amusement park type thing and ridden go-karts for the past thirty minutes. They also played the virtual reality games and other the arcade games, along with a small game of lazer tag.

Shannon was on Zac's team and they were against Taylor, Shana, and Isaac. They had won due to the fact that Shana kept shooting a teammate and herself.

Watching as Isaac and Zac were shooting in another game Shannon wanted so badly to go over to them and tell them the whole truth. The whole truth, from them running away and the reasons why, to everything that she thought that she should mention.

Then she saw it. Feeling slightly numb she went to find Shana watching Taylor in a racecar shifting gears. "Skyye." She said weakly.

Shana looked up at Shannon. She was instantly worried when she saw that her friend had no color in her face.

Shannon simply just pointed to the wall. Looking, Shana didn't see what Shannon was pointing at, at first. Then she saw it too. Shannon Morrow and Shana Reed's faces were smiling back at them on a 'Missing Poster’ It was them. And Zac was looking at it.

"We have to get rid of that without drawing attention." Shannon whispered as they went back to looking at Taylor still shifting gears and driving in the car. They saw him, but they just weren't paying attention.

They turned around and were about to take the poster when it was already gone. "Oh, no." Shannon whispered loudly. "We're gonna get caught." She said as she turned to Shana.

"Now we don't necessarily know that Zac took the poster or not." Shana said trying to calm Shannon down. "Just play it cool and act normal." She instructed.

Shannon was still looking at the empty space that once held their picture. "Okay." She said as she nodded her head absentmindedly.

~ Half An Hour Later ~

"Bye." Shannon said smiling as she got out of Isaac's car. "Thanks, that was heaps and heaps of fun."

Isaac smiled back. "It was. I had fun too."

"Me three!" Shana shouted as Taylor let her out and he got into the passenger side.

"We all did." Zac said as he stared at Shannon and Shana.

Soon the guys left and Shannon turned to Shana. "Zac knows." She stated softly.

Shana nodded her head. "I know. I saw him staring." She replied.

"This makes what? Plan four?" Shannon asked Shana as they walked into their hotel
