~CHAPTER 1~

The humid air hit Elaine's face as she stepped outside her home. Her friend was waiting for her. The girl's were excited and filled with joy. Today was the day of the concert. Not just any concert. Hanson's concert. They were lucky to have gotton tickets. They were even luckier to have gotten front row. The girls were going three hours early to try to find them enter and to see if they could get an early glimpse. Elaine's dad was taking them. Brooke (Elaine's best friend) had brought tons of her Hanson stuff. Elaine grabbed everything she could that she had of the three brothers. Elaine's dad came outside and told them to get in the car. They didn't have to be told twice. They jumped in without hesitation. Elaine shook with nerves. She couldn't believe she was getting ready to see Hanson. Brooke was bouncing in her seat. She was already hyper and this was not helping.

Elaine was thirteen years old. She was tall for her age at 5'8". She had brown hair just passed her shoulders that she wore in a ponytail today. She had blue eyes and wore glasses that she wasn't to fond of. Brooke was fifteen. She was, I guess what you could say, short. She stood only 5' tall. She had dark brown hair a little shorter than her friend's. She also had blue eyes. She would always say how lucky she was not to have glasses.

Today the girls wore the cutest outfits they had. Elaine wore a pair of baggy jeans and a Hason t-shirt. She wore shoes that were lifted up a bit. her hair was tied back in a Hanson scrunchy she made herself. Elaine had her dangley LOVE earings in. She wore the best friends necklace that her and Brooke had bought together. She also had on her four friendship bracelets her and Brooke had made with "friendship string". All of which were on her right arm. Brooke had on a pair of jean shorts that were shorter than than end of her fingers. She also had on a Hanson t-shirt. Hers was shorter and tighter. She told Elaine earlier that she "wanted to be noticed." She had on her black ADIDAS. Her was in two braided pig tails that hung over her shoulders. In her bottom holes of her ears she had on silver hoops. In her second holes she wore small, emerald jeweled earings. In her top hole on her right ear (the piercing was up in her cartlidge) she had another silver hoop in the was a tad smaller than the others. Brooke had her best friends necklace and a charmed choker around her neck. Her wrist had six friendship bracelets on. Four were on her right wrist and the other two were on her left. They were ready to go.

The girls had a poster the made themselves that read "HANSON. Where music is headed." "Tay, Zac, and Ike" along with "MMMBop, MON, Boomerang, Three Car Garage, and Snowed In" were written in scattered places along the poster. A few pictures were pasted on along with a HANSON symbol in each corner. The girls were extremely happy about the way it came out. They also had a stuffed animal for each boy. Elaine had a lion for Ike, a monkey for Taylor, and a dog for Zac. Brooke had a rabbit for Ike, a monkey with a banana for Tay, and a raccoon for Zac because he always got into mischief. Elaine and Brooke also made a friendship bracelet for each one each. They hoped Hanson would get atleast one the things they gave to them.
The girls were sitting in the car with their seat belts on now. Elaine's dad had agreed to put in Middle of Nowhere for them. "This day couldn't be any more perfect", Elaine thought to herself as her dad pulled out of the driveway with Brooke yelling the words to Thinking of You beside her.
