He watched as Shannon and Shana were pushing Zac and Taylor, and they were pushing them back. Laughing and joking around. While he was sitting on the hood of his car complaining to himself.
'Said yes, yes, yes I am. Yes, I am a crazy man.' Isaac sang to himself over and over as he continued to watch the four play around.
'I wonder why he isn't joining us.' Shannon asked herself as she pushed Taylor into Shana and started laughing when they both fell down.
Then Zac tried to tackle her but they just stumbled a little and started laughing out loud.
She looked back up at Isaac and he was nodding his head a little. Sighing, Shannon started to walk over to him. 'Why can't he just apologize, and why can't I wait 'til he does?' She thought as she sat next to him on the hood of his car.
"Hey." She said softly.
He looked away. "Hi."
Shannon sighed. "What is up with you? Why don't you join in the fun?" She asked as she watched as Taylor and Zac ganged up on Shana and started tickling her. She smiled to herself.
Isaac shrugged. "Not in the mood I guess."
"Is it me? 'Cause if it is, I can stand out while you hang out with them." Shannon offered kindly. She didn't want him to feel left out or anything because of her.
"That's not it." He said shaking his head.
"Then what is it?" Shannon questioned. She was getting frustrated. And when she got frustrated she'd have an emotion overload and explode. Which is not a pretty sight.
"Well, it definitely isn't you." He replied.
Shannon rolled her eyes. "GOD!!" She shouted out in her obvious frustration. "I've apologized to you three times. What more do you want?"
Isaac looked at her. "I want to be friends." He said quietly.
"You have a funny way of showing it." Shannon grumbled. "I only wanted to be your friend too, but you were angry and you wouldn't let me."
Isaac turned away. "You know the reason for that." He mumbled.
Shannon heard him though. "Yes, and you know the reason why I HAD to. And I apologized. THREE TIMES. And when I apologized, it wasn't just words that spilled out of my mouth because it fit that moment. I did actually mean them." She said trying to look at him. "I still do."
"You think they're gonna be friends again?" Shana asked quietly as they spied on Shannon and Isaac.
Taylor shrugged. "Hope so." He replied.
"They will." Zac said confidently. "They are both stubborn. That's what makes them out to be perfect as friends." He said smiling.
Shana smiled at him. "I hope that you are right. 'Cause if this goes on for very much longer, I'm gonna snap."
"We know what you mean." Taylor said shaking his head and laughing.
Zac laughed also. "So are we allowed to call you Skyye? Or is it Shana?" He questioned.
"It's Skyye in public with people around. But when we are like this, just around each other, Shana works fine." Shana said laughing.
"Okay, good." Zac said nodding his head before all three of them turned their attention back onto Shannon and Isaac.
"So?" Shannon asked as she stared at Isaac.
Isaac stared back. He knew what Shannon was waiting for. He swallowed the lump in his throat and smiled at her weakly. "Shannon, I'm sorry." He finally managed to choke out.
Shannon smiled at him brightly. "See." She said laughing. "It was hard, but you did it. Now, aren't you proud of yourself?"
Isaac laughed a little. "Yeah, I guess I am."
"Good. Now can we be friends?" She asked him as she held her hand out to him in a truce.
Nodding, Isaac briefly shook her hand. "Friends." He said smiling.
"Finally." Shannon said sighing as she leaned her back up against the windshield.
Isaac did the same and they stared at the bright blue sky in silence.
"Yes!" Shana said excitedly as she watched Shannon and Isaac shake hands. "They've called a truce." She exclaimed smiling at Zac and Taylor.
They were smiling too. "Great, now that's settled." Zac said in relief.
"Hey, umm, Shana? When do you have to leave?" Taylor asked a little uncomfortable with the idea of his new friends having to leave and be separated from each other again.
Shana was silent for a moment. "Not for about another week or so." She saw the sad looks that crossed over Zac and Taylor's faces. She had to cheer them up. "Did I tell you about the elves?" She asked smiling evilly.
Taylor and Zac gave her a strange look. "Nooo." Zac said carefully.
Shana's smile broadened. "Well, let me tell ya." She said before she started into the whole 'There are elves in my head that are mighty powerful and strong' routine.
"So when are you and Shana being separated?" Isaac asked gently.
Shannon turned and looked at him. She shrugged. "I don't know. After our video comes out for play I guess."
"So it's gonna be a while?" Isaac questioned.
"Yepperroo's." Shannon said as she started looking at the sky again.
"Shannon..." Isaac started.
"Please, Shann will do just fine." She interrupted.
Isaac nodded. "Shann, I am sorry about not forgiving you."
"You've already said that." Shannon replied.
Isaac nodded again. "And I'm really sorry that you and Shana had to run away to do something that you love and that you are great at."
Shannon looked at him and smiled. "That means a lot. But I'm glad Shana and I ran away. We've had loads of fun; ton's of freedom, and a lot of responsibilities that most teenagers don't even worry about. It's been a great experience." She said shrugging.
"I'm not regretting it one little bit." She said when she went back to looking at the sky.
