"Zac - wheres Mama?"

Taylor looked at Zac.

"I don't know." said Zac.

"Oh I hate this cat," said Tay. "It's forever going missing."

"Boys, we don't have time to worry about the cat at the moment. She'll turn up," said Mrs Hanson (aka Mum) 'Dad'll find her now go pack you're bags because we're leaving in an hour."

"But Mum, if she doesn't turn up Ike will have a breakdown because he loves her." said Tay.

"Just go pack. Do want to go to Los Angeles or not because if you don't go pack now you'll be staying at home." warned Mum

"Oh okay," said Taylor. "Come on Zac."

"Ahhhhhh!" Mackenzie ran through the living room at 100 miles an hour. "Mum where's Taylor! Some person is at my window looking for him!"

"Who is it honey?" asked Mum.

"I dunno." said the hyper child.

Mum got up from putting away the dishes and went into Mackenzies room where about four girls were standing at the window looking very excited with pen and pad in hand.

"I'm sorry girls but Taylor -"

"What about Zac!" a girl screamed.

She shook her head. "I'm sorry but I'll have to ask you to leave the property because it's private and there is a sign, but the boys are getting ready to go to Los Angeles at the moment and they are appearing in the mall in town when they come back in two weeks okay?"

"Okay thanks Mrs Hanson!" they said.

"Thanks future mother-in-law!" said a fan.

Mum laughed and shut the window. "Mac, I'll be in in a second to pack your bags. Can you tell Jessica and Avie to make sure the're packing their bags."

"Yep." said Mac and he ran out of the room.

Back in the boys room, Taylor was having a terrible time deciding what to take.

"What should I take you guys?" he said.

"What ever you want," said Zac. "I'm not taking much because they provide what ever we want anyway."

"I suppose thats true." said Taylor.

"Hey guys, where are we staying?" asked Isaac.

"Some where called 'Rockkapella Hotel'." read Zac off a nearby brochere sitting on the dresser. "It's quite new I think."

"Sounds cool,"said Isaac. "Is it near the studio?"

"I hope so," said Zac. "Because if it's too far and the fans find out where we are staying it'll be impossible to get out of the hotel without being mobbed!"

"Why do we have so many fans?" said Isaac.

Taylor and Zac looked at eachother, knowing Ike didn't have near as many fans as them but they weren't about to say it - Isaac's just too sensitive.

"I don't know," said Taylor. "They must really love the music huh?"

"Yeah," Ike nodded and went back to packing his bags.

"Hey guys, do you think I should take my orange doc boots?" asked Zac.

"If you want to," said Tay.

"But I don't have anything to go with them!" said Zac.

"Yes you do , what about that orange top you have?" replied Tay.

"I used to have it but thats the one that got ripped by that freaky girl at our last performance in New York, remember?" said Zac.

"Oh yeah."

"That was funny," said Ike, laughing.

"It was embarrasing!" said Zac.

"Don't worry about it Zac. Just get one of the stylists to get you another one." said Taylor.

"Okay I will." said Zac and put the doc boots in his suitcase.

"Hey guys, finished packing yet?" Mum came in to room.

"Nearly."said Zac.

"Good." said Mum. "By the way, did any of you take my Aretha Franklin CD yesterday?"

"Oh yeah I did," said Isaac. "Here you are mum."

"Thanks Ike," said Mum. "When you've finished packing put your bags on the veranda and Dad will load them into the van for you."

"Okay mum."

"Okay everyone in." said Dad.

Everyone climbed in, Isaac, Taylor and Avery in the backseat, Zac and Jessica in the middle and Mac sitting in the front between Mum and Dad.

As the van pulled out of the driveway, the hordes of fans who were sitting down on the side of the road suddenly jumped up and started screaming and ran after the van.

"Wave guys!" said Zac.

They boys waved.

Some girls were crying.

"Man do we ever cause a reaction!" laughed Isaac.

"Tay, blow that girl a kiss," said Jessica. "It'll be funny!"

Tay sat up and blew a girl a kiss.

"Ahhhhh! Oh my god!!" the girl cried and collasped on the ground.

"Ha, ha!" said Avery. "That girl just fainted."

"TAYLOR!!" Dad yelled. "I've told you not to do that. If that girl is not alright I will not be happy at all."

"Dad, she'll be fine I'm sure. It has happened before." said Taylor.

"I don't care. If you do it again we'll just turn around the van and go home and you can stay in your room for the rest of the day." said Dad.

"Okay," Tay slunk down in his seat.

When they arrived at Tulsa airport, hundreds of girls had lined the streets eagerly waiting to catch a glimse of their favourite band Hanson.(and their favourite guy) People were screaming, people were crying, people even had to be held back by security guards to stop them running out onto the street.

"How did all these people find out we were going to be here!" said Ike.

"Thats what I want to know." said Dad.

"You didn't tell anyone we were going away did you guys?" said Mum.

"Only Craig and Phillip," said Isaac. "But no one else."

"I told Jake and Ashley and Henry because Jake asked me to stay the night on Friday but I couldn't." said Taylor.

"What about you Mum when those girls that came to the house today," said Mackenzie. "You told them."

"Oooh!! Spin Doctors! Crank it up!" said Isaac.

"No, I'm trying to concentrate on my driving and not hitting any annoying little fans." said Dad through clenched teeth.

"Any way, Mackenzie, about those girls, there is no way they could have told anyone because we left almost straight after I told them to leave ." said Mum.

"You never know," said Isaac. "She may have told someone we were leaving."

"She probably did." said Taylor.

"Mum, I have an idea!" said Jessica. " Why don't we ask the people where they heard it."

"Okay!" said Zac. "Tay, wind down the window and ask them."

Tay hesitated. "Dad, should I?"

"Yes Tay, just do it!" shouted Zac.

"Oh well, be prepared to be deafened." said Dad.

Tay wound down the window and waved. Zac hung out the window and yelled "You guys Rock!"

Screams filled the air and tears started to flow rapidly.

"Hey guys, can you please just be quiet for a minute!" said Taylor.

"Yeah, we know we are pretty cool but can you just stop screaming for one minute while we ask a question!" shouted Zac, trying hard to be heard over the noise.

"Quiet!" yelled Ike.

"It's no use guys," said Mum. "Just ask when we get to the airport, hopefully they would have sealed the airport off."

"I don't think they're allowed to Diana." said Dad.

"Well lord knows how we are going to get our luggage into the airport then!" exclaimed Mum.

The van drove through the crowd and through the airport gates into the airport. Luckily there were no fans in the carpark so Dad parked the van and sent Taylor and Zac to get some trolleys for their luggage.

"No signing autographs!" called Dad after them.

When the boys rounded the corner the first thing they ran into was a famly with - just their luck - four girls about 8, 11,13 and 15. The three youngest nearly died when they saw them and then they sreamed.

"Can we have your autograph?" asked the middle one.

They pulled out pens and paper out of their backpacks.

Zac and Taylor looked at eachother. "Should we?"asked Zac.

"Please!" pleaded the 13 year old.

"So this is Hanson, is it?" said the mother.

"yes!"

"Okay, we'll sign autographs." said Tay.

"Even though we're not mean't to!" laughed Zac.

They signed the autographs and got the trolleys amd ran back.

"What took you so long?" asked Mum.

"We... er... couldn't find the trolleys." said Zac.

"But you've been here enough times." said Mum.

"The've shifted them." said Taylor quickly.

"Oh," said Mum. "We'll have to remember that."

Zac pressed the button for the hundenth time. Seated in first class, the Hanson family were getting alot of attention from everyone but even the stewardress was getting rather sick of Zac's mischevious actions on the plane. He was jumping around in his seat annoying everyone especially the people sitting in front of him. A couple of times he dropped chips on their heads which they were not happy about at all.

The stewardress came running and said, "What is it this time Zac?"

"Well cosidering I don't know your name but you somehow know mine, I can't tell you." he said.

"My name is Sally."

"Oh, Sally, can I have a drink?"

"Of what?"

"Coke - what else. I've had coke every other time."

"I just thought you might have wanted a change." she said, sounding annoyed, and she walked off to get his drink.

Zac laughed.

"Zac Hanson, I'm sick of you being smart to the air hostesses,"said Mum. "The're just being nice and helpful."

The air hostess returned with Zac coke and smiled politely at him.

When she was walking away, Tay chucked a paper aeroplane at her which hit her in the head. She looked extremely mad and was going to come back and shout at them but decided not to and stormed away.

Zac and Taylor exploded into a fit of giggles and lucky for them, Mum and Dad hadn't seen.

"Ike you're being very quiet." pointed out Taylor.

They looked at Ike expecting an answer but he was fast asleep.

"Must have been that late night." said Zac.

"It was too much for him." said Tay.

Zac pressed the button again.

"What this time Zac." said Sally.

Zac smiled.

"Yes, I'll just go get you your coke."

"No, hold on, I think I'll have fanta actually."

After a hectic time getting away from fans at Los Angeles International Airport, the Hanson clan had arrived safely at their hotel, the Rockapella hotel, and were unpacking their bags. At the airport they had managed to find out how everyone had found out about them coming. The story went like this: One of the girls that Mum had told to go away had rung up her friend on her cell-phone who had rung up the radio station which of course broadcasted it straight away and another radio station heard it and so on and thats how everyone knew.

At the airport Hanson had experienced all the normal stuff like screaming, crying, fainting, etc... and had signed a few autographs before making their getaway.

While unpacking their bags Ike said the strangest thing which took everyone by surprise.

He turned completely white and whispered, "Where's Mama?"
