"Okay, this is getting reeeeal boring." Zac complained. The girl on the cloud next to him threw him an annoyed look. "Sorry." he said. He went back to watching his brothers. They were watching tv in Alexis and Isaac's house. Alexis walked into the room and sat down with him.
Zac looked up again. He sighed. After years of watching from his cloud, it was starting to get old. He decided to ask for permission to go down for a closer look.
Zac headed over to the huge Castle. It's where his master lived. He knocked on the huge door. "Come in." a voice boomed. Zac walked in nervously.
10 minutes later, he walked out with a huge grin on his face. He got permission to go watch his family from a closer view. He waved goodbye to the girl that lived next to him and hurried down to Earth.
Withen seconds, he was in the same room as his brothers. Actually, he was on Taylor's lap. 'Ooops,' he thought, 'bad landing'. Taylor spoke up. "Whoa!"
Zac hurried off his lap. Did Taylor see him? No, he couldn't have, could he?
"What's wrong?" Isaac asked him.
"I just got this really wierd feeling. Like, oh, I don't know." Taylor looked frustrated. "It felt like something was like, in me. Like a spirit."
Isaac looked at him strangely. "Yeah, Zac just came over and sat on your lap."
At this comment, Zac burst out laughing.
Isaac looked up in surprise. "I heard something." he said, scared. He glanced at Alexis and Taylor. "Wh..what's going on?" 'Hmm,' Zac thought, 'I won't get in too much trouble if...nah!' He was thinking of showing himself to his brothers. But his master wouldn't be too happy.
"It sounded like Zac." Alexis said. She was white as a ghost. Zac frowned. They still knew his voice? Then it hit him. Since he didn't grow, and would be 11 forever, his voice didn't change. That meant he was stuck with a high voice.
Then Isaac let out a little laugh. "Jess, Avery, and Mac are upstairs,
right?"
Alexis and Taylor nodded. "Well, they must be playing a joke on us. I
mean, Mac's voice sounds exactly like Zac's did."
'Wait a minute, what do you mean, DID?'
Isaac froze. He glanced around. "Zac?" he called meekly.
"Yup. In the flesh...well, not really." Zac replied.
Taylor stood up. "Where are you?"
"Right here." Zac said, grinning. This was gonna be fun.
After 5 minutes of them searching, Zac decided to help them out.
"Okay, Tay, I'm standing right in front of you now."
Taylor stretched out his hand, but he only touched air.
"You can't touch me." he informed them.
"Great, now he tells us." Isaac said sarcastically.
Alexis was still sitting on the couch. "Come on guys, the kids are just playing a joke on you. How could Zac be here?" Isaac and Taylor looked uncertain.
Zac took it upon himself to prove to them. The remote control was on Alexis's lap. He picked it up. "What do you guys wanna watch?" he asked, flipping through the channels. "Whoa! Ike, whoo, you sure get EVERY channel." he teased, referring to the barely dressed girls on the screeen. But Isaac was still staring at the floating remote. He tried to grab it but it pulled away.
"Oh c'mon, I haven't watched tv in years, can't I have 10 minuts?"
Chapter 5--Isaac
Isaac was completely amazed. His little brother was back. "Zac, can we see you? Like, can't you show yourself?" There was a long pause. "Well, I guess for a little while." Isaac watched as Zac materialized in front of the tv. Isaac's jaw dropped. Zac looked exactly the same. He was still 11. Taylor rushed over to his brother. Man, what a comparison. Taylor was about a foot taller than Zac. It was so wierd. The last time he saw Zac and Taylor together, Taylor was 14. Now, he was 20. ***AUTHOR'S NOTE--Okay, this might be getting confusing, but it's like, been a while since the wedding. Ike is 22, and Alexis is 19, almost 20. And, obviously, Zac is 11.***
Taylor was crying. "I can't belive you're back."
Alexis hurried over. She looked closely at Zac. "Oh my God." she whispered.
Zac looked up for a minute. "He says 'what?'"
Alexis burst out laughing and wrapped him in a bear hug. "It's so good to see you again. So much has happened. Me and Ike got married..." Zac cut in. "I know, I was watching from my cloud. It was pretty cool. I wish I could've been there."
Isaac thought for a moment. "Hey, I'll call mom and dad. I'm sure they'll want to see you. And Jess, Ave, and Mac are upstairs. But, Mac doesn't really remember you. He was too young."
Zac looked horrified. "No! They can't see me. Only you guys can." Taylor frowned. "Why not?" He sounded slightly angry. ***AUTHOR'S NOTE--Hey hey, MMMBop just came on VH1! YEAH! Whoo hoo! Ike is fine. hehehe. MMMBop!!!! Man, I still haven't seen IWCTU! Okay, I'm done.***
"They'll want me to stay." Zac simply said.
"You...you aren't staying?" Isaac stuttered.
Zac gave him a funny look. "Well, seeing how I'm dead, no. "Oh, yeah, that's right." Alexis said. "Well, listen, I've been wanting to tell you guys something, and since Zac's here, he should hear it too."
Isaac looked at his wife. "What is it?" he asked, worried. She hadn't mentioned anything to him.
Alexis smiled. "I'm going to have a baby."
Taylor and Zac started congradulating them, but Ike barely noticed. He fainted. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ When Isaac awoke, he saw two faces peering down at him. It was Alexis and Taylor.
"Bro, you okay?"
"Uhh, yeah. I guess I was too...excited."
Taylor helped him off the floor. "Where's Zac?" he asked, looking around.
Taylor and Alexis also looked around. "I don't know." Taylor said. "He was here a minute ago." Alexis added.
After 10 minutes of searching, they gave up. "Maybe we imagined the whole thing." Isaac suggested.
Taylor shook his head. "All three of us imagined the same thing?"
"Good point." Isaac said.
"Well, he'll probably come back. We'll just have to wait." Alexis said. They all sat on the couch. Then Isaac remembered. He and Alexis were gonna have a baby!
"Lex, do you know what it's gonna be?" he asked excitedly.
Alexis shook her head. I'm about 2 and 1/2 months pregnant. You can't tell yet."
Isaac sat back, dreaming about what the baby would be.
Chapter 6--Zac
'Oh boy, I'm in trouble.' Zac thought. His master had called him. And, he had to leave immidiately. He couldn't say goodbye to Ike, Tay, or Lex at all. Well, they were busy anyway. Ike had passed out when Alexis told him about the baby, and they were making sure he was okay, so Zac just left quietly.
He walked into the huge castle, ready for a lecture. He knew he wasn't supposed to reveal himself, but it was too hard to resist. Jessica
***AUTHOR'S NOTE--Okay, in the other chapters, I think I said Jessica was 16, but I messed up. She was, uhh, 13, and now she's 14. Okay, I also messed up and Avery and Mac. Mac is now almost 8, and Avery is 11.***
Jessica was sitting in her room with her boyfriend, Joey. She was supposed to be at her brother, Ike's house, watching her little brother and sister, Mac and Avery, but she had gotten bored. 'Avery is eleven.' she had thought. 'She can watch a seven year old.'. She knew very well her parents, Ike, everyone, would be pissed, but she didn't care.
She had went back to her house, where no one was home, and invited her Joey over
She turned to Joey, who was sitting next to her in her room, watching tv.
"Man, this sucks."
He turned to her. "What does?" She had to stop herself from giggling. He was 14, and his voice was changing. She remembered how Taylor's was. Whoa, his was very wierd.
"Nothing exciting ever happens." she complained.
He looked at her in amazement. "Jess, you're in an EXTREMELY popular music group, you win awards every year, you travel all kinds of places...what's not exciting?"
She shrugged. "It'd getting boring. I mean, I like being in the group, but having people scream in your face when they see you, signing autographs all the time....it's annoying."
He leaned over. "I don't scream in your face when I see you." he whispered He kissed her lightly on her lips. She kissed him back. After ten minutes, things started getting serious. He started pulling at the buttons on her shirt. He pulled it off.
She froze for a second, but then kept going. 'I'm 14, I can handle myself.'
When her jeans, along with his shirt and pants, went to the floor also, she wasn't quite sure. She had never done anything like this before. What if she messed up?
"Joey, forget it. We...we can't."
But he didn't stop. He tugged at her bra. For a minute, she just thought it was a horny, 14 year old boy's hormones, but she realized something was wrong. She asked him to stop, but he wouldn't.
"Joey!"
He sat up. She got out of her bed and pulled her shirt on. When she looked over at him, he looked very disappointed.
"Hey, look, I'm just not ready." she said softly.
He nodded. "I understand." he leaned in and kissed her. They fell back on the bed. Jessica'a shirt once again was off, but they didn't go all the way.
They just made out, barely dressed, until they head someone coming upstairs.
"Jess, you here?"
"Oh my God, it's Taylor! Quick, hide!" she whispered frantically. She jumped up and locked the door. Two seconds later, someone tried to turn the knob. "Jess, why's the door locked?" Taylor called.
"Uh, I'm changing." she called back.
Taylor was puzzled. "Why? It's 3 in the afternoon."
"Uh, I spilled sauce on my clothes."
"Oh, okay. Well, i'll wait for you. I need to talk to you." he said. She hurried, threw on a new pair on jeans and a shirt, and stuffed Joey's an her old clothes into the closet, where he was hiding. They landed on him.
"Put them on and be very quiet. At least if he finds us he won't think we were doing anything that bad."
Joey nodded and she shut the door.
"Jess, who are you talking to?" Taylor asked.
"Huh?" she thought quickly. "Oh, it was the radio."
"But I thought your radio was broken." Taylor said. Now he was getting suspicious.
Jessica ran a brush through her hair and opened the door.
"Hey, Tay." she said.
He walked in and looked around.
"What's up?" she asked, trying to distract him.
"Hey, listen, I have something to tell you. About Issac, Alexis, and Zac."
At the mention of Zac's name, she looked up quickly. "What about Zac?" "Well, this is going to be hard to believe....." he explained everything that happened. "And, if you don't believe me, just ask Lex or Ike. They were there."
"Oh my gosh. That's so cool. I can't wait to tell....."
"No." Taylor interrupted, "You can't tell anyone."
Jessica thought for a minute. "Yeah, I guess people would think we're crazy. So, what about Ike?"
"Oh, him and Alexis are going to have a baby."
"Whoa! Cool. I'm going to be an aunt. And I'm only 14."
Taylor nodded. "Oh, you know that cd I loaned you? The Ozzy one?"
Jessica nodded. "I need it back."
"Okay, it's with my other cds in the closet." She said it before she could think.
"Ok, I'll get it." Taylor started walking to the closet.
"No!" she cried. He looked at her in surprise.
"I'll get it." she told him. She pushed her brother on Avery's bed and went to the walk in closet, opened the door as little as she could, and grabbed the cd from the shelf. She felt Joey tickling her feet. She started laughing.
"What happened?" Taylor asked. He walked over to the closet. He saw Joey hiding under a pile of Jessica's clothes.
He looked at Joey, then at Jessica. "I'm not going to tell anyone, but I wanna know what's going on."
Joey came out of the closet. His shirt was on backwards, and Taylor noticed this.
Taylor sighed. "Never mind. Just....you guys are young. Remember that. Don't do anything you'll really regret." He started to leave.
"Tay!" Jessica called. "We weren't!"
But Taylor just walked out.
Jessica turned to Joey. "I think you better go home." she said softly. He nodded, kissed her softly, and hurried out the door.
