Taylor expected Isaac to go and change cloths for the concert when they got there but he didn't he stayed in Taylor's shirt and jeans and Airwalks and just undid his hair, he looked extremely comfortable

Taylor went to the announcer before the show.

“Hello, Taylor."

"Hi. I was wondering if you could only announce me I wanna do my brothers."

"Sure no problem, Taylor."

Taylor smiled.

The show was about to begin

"Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to present to you Hanson!!" The crowd went wild "Here he is Taylor Hanson."

Taylor ran to his keyboard. "C'mon guys give it up for Zac Hanson." The crowd screamed wildly. "And now give it up for Isaac Hanson!!" The crowed went semi wild.

"Guys what do you call that? Are your voices getting tired? I said give it up for Isaac Hanson!!!" The crowed went even wilder than when Taylor had gotten on stage.

The concert went without a hitch everything was great they sounded great everything.

"Guys, did you guys see all of those people with signs. I've never seen my name in so name in so many colors and different shapes. Tay did you see that one chick that was eyeing you all concert?"

"Did you see the whole group of girls screaming for Ike? I think they were upset cuz they weren't closer to you."

"You're making that up!" Ike said.

"No, I saw 'em. They were going crazy whenever you had a solo. " Zac said

"And I swear they thought you were singing "A Minute Without You" just to them."

"No way."

"Way Ike!" Zac and Taylor said in unison.

Ike had a goofy grin on his face for the duration of the evening.

When they got back to the hotel, Isaac was still in a daze from the wonderful day he had just experienced. Taylor watched as he headed over to the window seat and stared out into the night.

"Hey Ike. Whatcha think'?"

"How'd you know I was thinking?"

"I now you do it a lot."

"Oh. Actually I was thinking that I wish you would get your prank over with so we can all get back to normal."

"What prank?"

"The one that involves you being especially nice to _everyone_ today."

"It's not a prank, Ike. I was thinking after our talk- if you could call it that- the other night. What I did to you was horrible and I don't know how you ever managed to forgive me- or keep yourself from beating the crap out of me.

"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry. I never- ever want to hurt you like that again. You're the best big brother a guy could ever have and I'm so glad that I have you in my life."

Ike was shocked into silence for a few minutes. "Thanks Tay...you don't know what that means to me."

"I think I do. I love you Ike!" He said and for the first time in as long as either boy could remember, Taylor hugged his brother. He held on to him as if he might never see him again when he let go.

Ike could only return the embrace and pray that the tears would stay at bay until he was alone.

After Ike was sure both of his brothers were asleep he crept out to the lobby and saw the old woman

"Hello, Ike dear."

"Hello, Mrs. Sanda"

"Would you like some cocoa?"

"Yes I would, and I would like for you to join me too."

The old woman smiled and got the cocoa and Ike settled in the chair by the fire

December 1, 1997

WOW! What an awesome day. Tay was a saint today. I don't know what came over him. I like it though. He made me feel special. He made the little ones feel special today too. I don't know what to say except WOW I'm glad my brother's selfish streak is over. Mom had told me that I had gone through one. I don't remember but I'll take her word for it. Ahhhhh man that means Zac will go through one too... ::sigh:: "here we go round again here we go here we go" hahaha. Oh well that's it for tonight

Ike

Mrs. Sanda sat next to Ike and handed him the mug.

"So what is on teen sensation Ike Hanson's mind?"

Ike smiled and recounted his day to her.

"Seems as if Zachary got his wish."

"Huh?"

"Little Zachary came down here the other night and told me that he wished that Taylor spent a day in your shoes."

"No, Tay was just nice today."

"No, little Zac's wish came true. Magic was in the air that night, I could feel it. Taylor now knows what it feels like. I expect him to never treat anyone bad ever again. Good night, Isaac."

The woman got up and Ike never saw her again. But just as she forecasted Taylor never was mean to Ike or anyone else for that matter ever again.
