It was the morning of their flight and everything was hectic at the Hanson's house. Joey and her family were there because Joey was going to ride to the airport with the Hanson's.
"Joey" Taylor called her and pulled her into his room. "Joey I was wondering if you like wanted to go steady with me and be by girlfriend."
"Yes, i would really like that" Joey exclaimed and jumped into Taylor's arms giving him a long kiss. She was gald now that Taylor wanted to have official relationship with her.
"I guess we should be going now" Joey said as they parted apart. "I have to say good-bye to my family."
"Bye Joey we love ya and going to miss you." Joey's mom said as she gave her a hug. "Make sure you call me every day."
"All right Mom. I'm gonna miss you all" Joey ran over and gave both her sisters a hug."Bye Julie, Bye Alex."
"Bye." They both said together. "have fun."
"Hey what bout me." Joey's dad asked her.
"Bye Dad I'll miss ya too."
"I'll miss you too have fun now."
"I will."
"OK bye"
"Bye everybody" Joey shouted as she got into the Hanson's van next to Taylor.
"OK guys here we are." Mr. Hanson told everyone as they got to the hotel. "Let's see now Isaac and Taylor you can share a room and Zac and Joey is it all right if you share one. If it's not then Zac you can stay with us and Jessie and Avery can be with Joey."
"No that's all right I'll share with Joey. Is that OK with you." He turned to her.
"Yea." "To bad I can't be roomed with Taylor." Joey thought to herself.
"OK guys here's your key I hope I can trust you guys.
"Yes Mr. Hanson." Yes Dad." Joey and Zac said together.
Taylor went over to Joey and put his arm around her. "To bad I couldn't be paired with you."
"I don't think you parents would really go with that." Joey told him as he helped her with her stuff into her room.
"Hey Zac don't be making any moves on my girlfriend."
"Trust me Taylor I Wouldn't even if I could." Zac smiled looking at Joey.
"Zac that wasn't funny." Joey ran over to him and started hitting him with a pillow.
"Pillow fight" Taylor screamed joining them in on the fight.
"Zac" Joey called from the bathroom in their hotel room. "I don't feel well."
Zac came into the bathroom and saw Joey sitting on the floor by the toilet. "Joey" Zac ran to her and sat beside her. "Whats the matter." He asked with concern.
"I don't know, all of a sudden I felt really bad and throw up. Now I have a killer headache and feel weak."
"Let me help me to your bed. Now stay here I'll go get you some Tylenol and water for your headache."
Zac returned 5 minutes later with some Tylenol.
"Thanks Zac your the best." Zac headed her her water. "Ya know what. I'm glad I get to share a room with you. Your a good friend and fun to be with."
"Thanks Joey so are you." Zac leaned over and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
"I guess I'll get some rest now. Nite Zac."
"Good Nite Joey." And soon they both fell asleep.
"So Joey did you sleep well last night." Taylor walked over to her and gave her a kiss.
"Yea. Except for the fact that I got sick but I'm fine now."
"What happened you should have gotten me." Taylor asked her concerned.
"Nothing really it must have been something I ate, besides Zac took good care of me."
Taylor looked across the table at his brother eating waffles.
"What. All I did was help Joey to her bed and give her some Tylenol."
"So guys what are we going to be doing today." Joey asked trying to get off the subject of her sickness.
"We have to do something for MTV but then we have the rest of the day off to do whatever." Isaac answered her. "is there anything you would like to do."
"Well maybe we could go to Central Park."
"Yea that sounds fun we could go rollarblading maybe even the zoo." Isaac suggested.
"That does sound like fun. Zac we could take you to the zoo to see your cousin."
"Ha ha ha. very funny Tay."
"No" Joey jumped in laughing. "We could go there to visit all 3 of your guys cousins."
"Hey your suppose to be on my side Joey. I am your boyfriend."
"Sorry Tay I couldn't resist."

"Dad" Taylor went up to his dad. "When did Mom say she was going to be here?"
"I thought she said 2 but its all ready 2:20."
"Do ya think that they could have gotten lost."
"I don't know."
"Taylor"
Taylor turned around and saw Joey running towards him. "Where have you been?" he asked her after giving her a quick kiss.
"Well your mom was so nice and on our way here we stopped at this store and she got me this necklace." Joey hold up a silver choker with butterflies all around it.
"That's really nice." Taylor said holding it in his hand. "Do you want me to put it on you?"
"Yea, thanks." Joey turned around and lifted up her long hair as Taylor clasped the necklace around her neck.
"Hey guys." Zac came skating towards them. "are you ready to go. Joey put your skates on we're going now"
"OK am hurrying." Joey quickly put on her skates and skated with Taylor holding her hand, over to the rest of the Hanson's.
