" Freedom!" yelled Zac the day after their punishment was over. " Finally! Come on, Tay, let's get out of here. Or so you want to call Sierra."
" Well, actually, yeah," answered Taylor.
"Oh, come on Tay. You never do anything with us anymore."
" Yes I do. I went to that press conference with you yesterday."
Zac rolled his eyes. " You had to do that. You never do anything fun with us."
"Okay, okay. What do you want to do?" asked Taylor as Isaac walked in the room.
" Hey guys, guess what? They're showing Austin Powers at the movie theater today. You wanna go?"
"But that's already out on video," said Taylor.
" So?" said Zac. " I love that movie! Let's go see it, guys." Taylor and Isaac agreed, so at 12:00, they headed to the nearby movie theater. Once they were there, they found their seats. The movie started and the movie started.
"Zac, you better not say the lines before they say it," whispered Taylor.
" What are you talking about?" Zac said innocently. " I've been frozen for thirty years. Throw me a fricking bone here. I'm the boss, need the info," Zac said along with Dr. Evil. A few people glanced back at Zac with annoyed glances.
"Zac," Isaac said, giving him a look." Do you want to get kicked out of the theater?"
" That's so groovy, baby!" Zac said. Isaac and Taylor got up and moved to another seat, away from where Zac was sitting. They could hear Zac talking to himself during the movie and quite a few people got up and moved. Soon, Zac was the only one in the seating area around him. Taylor tried to concentrate on what Austin Powers was saying in the movie.
"Who... does...number 2...work for?"
"That's right buddy, show that turd who's boss." The audience laughed.
Finally, we're done being grounded! I can't wait to see Sierra. Taylor caught himself thinking. He tried to watch the movie, but decided to leave as soon as Dr. Evil and Scott were in counseling.
"I just think he hates me. I really think he wants to kill me," said Scott.
" Now Scott, no one wants to kill anyone in here. We might say we want to sometimes."
" He's right, I really am trying to kill the little ****, but so far he's been...."
Taylor got up." hey, where are you going?" asked Ike.
" I'll see you later. I don't feel like watching this," Taylor explained. Ike just stared at the screen. " Okay, bye." Taylor said as he left. Once he was out of the theater, he decided to walk to Sierra's house. Halfway there, he saw her come running towards him.
"I was just coming to see you," she gasped, out of breath from running.
Taylor laughed." I was just coming to see you." He noticed that she had ben crying. " Hey, what's wrong?" he asked.
" Can we sit down somewhere?" she asked. Thay sat down on some steps in front of an apartment complex. " I have to tell you something. It's my cousin, Lisa. She's really sick and is the hospital. So I have to go back home to visit."
"Well, that's okay. I mean, it'll only be a couple of days, right?" Tay asked.
"Well, my parents are like, if you're going to be back here, you might as well come back to live with us. I have to stay there!" she cried. Taylor felt dizzy.
" But... can't you just... when are you leaving?"he asked feeling sick. She looked at him and sighed.
"Tommorrow."
"What?! Tommorrow! But, that's tommorrow," Taylor complained.
"I'm sorry Taylor. I don't want to leave you either. But there's nothing I can do, really, my aunt already bought the plane ticket and everything. Taylor sighed.
" So this is it."
" It doesn't have to be. We still have the rest of the day," she said trying to be cheerful.
" I guess." They stood up and Sierra turned to face Taylor.
"Look, I know that long distance relationships never work, so I won't be mad if you want to see other people..."
"No way. I don't want to break up with you, Sierra."
"How could we break up if we never really went out?"
"Okay, do you wanna go out with me?"
"Okay," she replied. "Whew, I feel better now. But I still have to leave tommorow."
" Let's not say good-bye yet. We still have the whole day."
"Alright," she agreed." Tay," she leaned up and kissed him. And this time there was no brothers spying in the backround.
"No, I definetly do not want to break up!" said Taylor. He took her hand and they walked along the streets, not really going anywhere, but just happy to be together.
