"Hello! You must be Cynthia Lambert. I'm Diana Hanson. And your Kara aren't you? The boys can't wait to meet you. Come on in. " Diana said, flashing a stunning smile. Kara and Cynthia walked into the room. The aroma of chicken cooking reached Kara's nose.
"Cynthia , I need your advice on on my chicken dish. Umm.... Kara, the boys are in the family room. Its through that door and to the right." Diana said perkily. Cynthia followed Diana into the kitchen leaving Kara there. She walked through the door and down the hall and saw several family pictures of the Hansons. She looked into one room and saw it was cluttered with instruments, papers and sound equipment. She walked into the family room and there only a few feet in front of her was Hanson playing Sony Playstation. Isaac looked up and saw her because he had heard her come in. He paused his game and stood up.
"Hi. You must be Kara. I'm Isaac Hanson." He held out his hand.
"Hi! Yeah, I'm Kara. Nice to meet you." Kara said, nervously shaking his hand. Isaac sensed her nervousness and flashed her a gorgeous smile. Kara felt a lot better and most of the nervousness vanished. Then, Tay stood up.
"Hi Kara. I'm Taylor, but you can call me Tay."
"OK Tay. Hi!" Kara said
"HEY!!! She's a poet and she doesn't know it!!!" Zac said, laughing at his own joke. Kara started laughing and Isaac threw Zac a 'Be quiet' look and Zac stopped giggling and introduced himself.
"Hello." He began in a deep professional voice."My name is Zachary Walker Hanson and I play the drums in the band Hanson. Pleasure to make your acquaintance ma'am." Zac barely made it through his speech and rolled over into a fit of laughter. Kara was cracking up but Isaac interrupted.
"Don't mind Zac. He's a little excited about you coming."
"Oh shut up Ike! You were too and plus your just embarrassed. I'm just having some fun. Lighten up!" Zac said and rolled into another fit of hysterical laughter.
"Well, I guess you know who we are. I mean, I don't want to brag or anything, but they keep playing us on MTV." Taylor said, trying to change the subject.
"Well to tell the truth. The first time I heard of you was at the beginning of the week. I mean, no offense, but I had to search on AOL for your first names." Kara admitted.
"You've got AOL? What's your screen name?" Isaac asked.
"Yeah, uh, my screen name is Hyperchick314. I take it YOU have it. What's your screen name?" Kara said, sitting down on the beige and purple checked sofa next to Taylor.
"Well, we have several screen names. One is for our fans. That one is MMMBop but since your pretty cool and you probably don't want to wait for several months for us to answer you so you can use our other one. It is ITZHanson." Ike said sitting down in a recliner across from Taylor and Kara.
"OK. I'll e-mail you when you I get home. Soooo, when do you guys perform next? I just want to say that you guys are so awesome. I LOVE your voices." Kara asked curiously.
"Well, thanks." Taylor began, blushing."When DO we perform next Ike?"
"I think we perform on Letterman next." Ike said matter-o-factly.
"WOW!!! That is TOO cool. Letterman. I'll be sure to watch you."
"Thanks, man!!!" Zac said and ran over and hugged Kara. Kara was a little taken aback but managed to say.
"No prob. Zac."
All of the sudden a Mackenzie ran into the room. "Animal-animal!!! Mommy says to tell you guys that its time to eat."
"OK Mac. I'm coming." Zac said and got up and took Mac's hand and left the room.
"Well, guys I'm hungry so I'm going now. Are you coming?" Kara asked.
"Uh..yeah. We'll be there in a sec." Ike said. Kara left the room towards the dining room.
"So Tay. What do you think of her?" Ike asked in a whisper.
"She's really nice and she's cool. Why?" Taylor replied.
"Well, duh. But I mean, do you like her?" Ike said impatiently.
"Well, Ike. I...uh....never really thought about her that way. Do you?" Tay said, dodging the question.
"Of course I like her. She's pretty, nice, and she's not a screaming obsessed fan." Ike replied.
"Oh. Well, we...uh... better go eat now." Taylor said, changing the subject. Ike nodded in agreement. As they left the room, Taylor thought about what Ike had said. 'Man, I DO like her, but I don't want Ike to be mad at me cuz he does. I'll just keep this to myself and let Ike go for her.' Tay thought as he walked out of the room flipping the light switch off.
