"Ain't nothing better, look how far we've come together, i'm glad we didn't listen, look at what we would be missing, they said....."
"Shut up?"Taylor inquired.
"No,"Zac replied, shooting Taylor a look, and carrying right on with Shania Twain.
"They should have."
"You must have been watching "Daria" again,"Zac commented, referring to Taylor's obsession with the show. The downside to this was, however, that Taylor was moody, sarcasstic and critical for anywhere from an hour to a whole day after watching it.
"La la la la la,"Taylor intoned.
"Yup,"Isaac stated nodding,"he's showing the signs."
"Why do both of you think your ready to take on Saturday Night Live when you aren't funny in the least little bit. Someone half of Jessie's age wouldn't find you amusing,"Taylor informed them.
"Oh your just mad cos you can't find a girlfriend!"Zac accused. Isaac nodded in agreement. Taylor shot them both a scathing look.
"Because I don't want girls like you 2 have...I want a woman,"Taylor snapped.
"But Tay....if you can't find a girlfriend how are you going to find a woman?"Zac asked in mock confusion.
"Oh just shut up, both of you,"Taylor muttered walking out.
Zac rolled his eyes at Isaac.
"He is sooo annoying,"Zac complained.
Isaac nodded. "It's hormones."

*DING DONG*
Taylor who was sitting in the same room as the door, sat there defiantly so Zac or Isaac would have to come downstairs to open the door.

*DING DONG DING DONG DING DONG*
Taylor slammed his book down and stalked to the door.
"What?!"he snapped, jerking the door open. He gasped in shock at what was before his eyes.

It was his best friend Brad Koehler standing with an MTV camera crew.
"Uh.... huh?" Taylor muttered, a little confused. Brad stepped forward.
"Well Taylor it's my surprise to you and your brothers! You've been chosen by MTV's Fanatic to meet the BackStreet Boys! Surprised?!"Brad exclaimed.

Taylor narrowed his eyes.
"You have no idea. Let me call the guys,"Taylor told them flatly.
"Isaac! Zac! Get down here! Prepare yourself!" Taylor shouted. Brad snickered.

Isaac and Zac came walking down the stairs very slowly.
"What's going on?"Zac asked slowly. Brad once again explained.

Isaac gaped at him in astonishment. Brad KNEW that the BSB were their enemies! What kind of sick joke was this?!
"Ok,"Isaac started, clearly struggling for words, "We're, Hanson, going on Fanatic to meet the BackStreet Boys?"
Brad grinned. "Yes!"
"Turn the camera's off,"Isaac ordered.
"Why?"one of the cameramen questioned.

"Because I'm about to murder Brad and I want no evidence. Leave before your a witness and I have to kill you too,"Isaac told them all, deadpan.
Brad shifted uncomfortably.

Finally a woman who was in charge told them to go pack some clothes as quickly as possible. As Taylor walked off he looked back at Brad.

"Payback's hell,"he mouthed silently. Brad swallowed and began to think the ultimate joke wasn't too very funny anymore.

"This is not in the least little bit funny and we would greatly appreciate it if you would try to regain some composure,"Taylor snapped prudishly as Brittany, Hope and Jenny screamed with laughter.

"Ok we're gonna be ok, it's truly sad and demeaning to you,"Jenny sympathized then snorted and burst into laughter again.
"Oh shut up,"Taylor muttered and stalked out of the room.
"Oh what a baby,"Brittany criticised.

"We don't think it's funny either,"Isaac snapped, speaking for both him and Zac,"And we're leaving now."

With that all three brothers stormed out. Brittany, Hope and Jenny looked at each other solomly.
"Oops,"Hope mumbled.

"Backstreet's back alright!"Brittany exclaimed. All three girls started laughing again. They scrambled up off the floor and raced to the window to watch their friends go meet the BackStreet Boys as their biggest fans!
"I guess the reason we like their music so much is because it's all just words you know? It doesn't really make you think because it's not hmmmm very deep. Don't you guys agree?"Taylor adressed his brothers but kept staring in the camera as they cruised towards their MTV provided hotel room.

"Yeah,"Zac agreed nodding,"Also they're really easy to sing with because I mean they don't get very high or hold their notes very long so basically anyone can sing along,"Zac added.
Isaac nodded. "Both points are true. And I'd like to add that they're very down to earth. I guess what I'm trying to say is that since they're not extremely good looking, smart or funny that they'd be easy to relate to,"Isaac finished as they pulled into the parking lot of their hotel.
"Well we're gonna go try to get some sleep so we'll be looking and feeling our best when we meet the guys tomorrow!"Taylor exclaimed slamming the door to their room.

All three brothers turned to Brad who had been nervously standing by the bathroom door.

"Now that we're FINALL Y alone we can have a little conversation about this whole exciting day,"Taylor announced moving closer to Brad.

"Uhhhhh I need a shower,"Brad interrupted and ran in the bathroom slamming and locking the door.
"Run now! But you can't run forever! And when you eventually stop we'll be there!"Isaac threatened.

The sound of water followed this threat so they decided to turn in and dream about their revenge.

"Hope....tie my shoe for me,"Brittany begged sweetly.

Hope sighed in annoyance but did what she was asked. For some reason now that she was designated shoe tier Brittany and Jenny's laces didn't wanna stay tied.
"I can't wait for FANatic tonight!"Jenny exclaimed.
"Oh I know,"Hope agreed nodding, "I can't wait to see what happens. Everybody's gonna dog them so bad!"

Brittany giggled. "Wonder if they'll sing to them?"

They all laughed and got their stuff together to go to the store and buy 3 VCR tapes for each tv so they'd have 3 copies of Hanson humiliation!

"Ok look....there's no way to get out of it now. Just try to act cool and soon this will all be over with,"Taylor instructed his brothers calmly,"And you! You just sit there! You've done quite enough for this whole year and we WILL get you back."

"Blah, blah. blah shut up about it ok? It's time to go in so just get it over with and stuff it,"the rather rude cameraman ordered.

"Geez,"Zac muttered,"Do you know who we are?! We happen to be-,"
"5 4 3 2 1, Walk in!"A voice ordered.

The three brothers walked in slowly with big smiles pasted on their faces. Zac was the first to step forward.

"Hey I can't believe we're meeting each other!!"Zac exclaimed.
Taylor frowned. He had told them to try and get through this....not bubble with BackStreet Boy excitement.

They all said hello and Zac went right over and sat down between Howie and Nick, seemingly having a great time.

Jenny howled with laughter at Zac.
"Oh my God I will NEVER let him forget this!"she gasped.

"Look at Isaac!"Hope exclaimed,"He doesn't know what to think!"
"Taylor does! He's soooo pissed off at Zac and Brad! It's gonna be a chilly flight home!"Brittany predicted gleefully. It was prehaps a little mean to enjoy this so much but it's not every day you witness a thing like this!

"So how do you guys feel about your success??"Zac asked eagerly.

"Well we appreciate and love all of our fans out there but sometimes we do wish that we were just the average guys we used to be. You know like going to the mall and movies and having a few friends know you instead of EVERYONE knowing who you are,"Brian answered.
Zac was smiling and nodding in agreement. Taylor was red with outrage at his brother's behavior and Isaac was merely bewildered.

Taylor leaned over towards Isaac.
"I can see the headlines now...'Pop sensation Hanson splits up when youngest brother joins BackStreet Boys',"Taylor hissed.

Isaac nodded.

"Well before we go we have a song for our biggest fans," Nick announced.

Taylor glowered at them in hate. Isaac shook his head a little and Zac........well the traitor clapped.

"Oh God oh God my stomach hurts,"Hope gasped.
"Mine too,"Brittany put in then snorted when Zac started tapping his feet.

"Brad is a genius. I would never have the nerve to do this but it's absolutely brilliant and very gutsy!"Jenny praised.
They all turned their attention back to the T.V.

"I'll never break your heart, I'll never make you cry, I'd rather die than live with you, I'll give you all of me honey that's no lie,"The BSB sang loudly, nearing the end of their song.

Taylor rolled his eyes dramatically.
"I'll never break your heart, your tearing up my heart when i'm with you, blah blah blah whatever end this please,"he muttered sullenly.

The song finally ended and Taylor quickly jumped up to leave. Isaac also got up and started inching towards the door of the small room. Zac was exchanging email addresses with Brian because of a similar interest in cartoons and animation.

"Well it was nice meeting you but we have to go now! Thanks for the song! Goodbye! Have fun! Later!"Taylor called walking out the door.
"Come on Zac!"Isaac ordered grabbing his arm and dragging him out of the room.
"What is wrong with you guys?"Zac asked as they were walking down the hallway.

"What's wrong with you?!"Taylor exclaimed.

"Me?! What did I do?!"Zac questioned loudly.
"You humiliated us on national television! That's what you did!"Isaac answered.
"How?!"Zac exploded indignantly.

"I myself thought Zac was very attentive and interested,"Brad put in.

"Exactly!"Taylor exclaimed triumphantly,"So Brad saw it too!"

Zac shook his head in disbelief.
"You guys are so dumb. They were really kewl and all you did was pout and look stupid on national television so don't say anything to me!"Zac ordered stomping off.
"He just doesn't know what he's done to us,"Taylor lamenated shaking his head.

Isaac nodded in agreement.

"Next week on FANatic Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Spice Girls meet their biggest fans!"the voice announced as the show went off.

"Oh that was great!"Hope exclaimed.
"That part at the end when Taylor wigged out....that was priceless,"Brittany stated.

Jenny just grinned and sat back, anticipating Zac's arrival and showing him his less than kewl appearance on MTV.
