Isaac, Taylor, and Zac Hanson sat in their studio basement trying to write a song, but making no progress. Jessica came downstairs, “Hmm…I feel another Hanson drought coming on,” She laughed to herself.
“Jess, shut up!” Taylor said rolling his eyes scratching out another line on his pad of paper.
“We just have writer’s block,” Ike assured her.
“Yeah…just like in 1999,” Zac nodded.
“Umm…the problem there was that you had no girlfriends because you guys are losers!” Jess laughed again.
“Okay, now you can shut up and go back upstairs- you’re no longer welcome down here,” Ike said.
“Hey!!!” I walked down the steps to see Ike, Tay, and Zac with pads of paper scratching stuff out and fiddling with their instruments.
“What’s going on?” I asked.
“No inspiration,” Taylor sighed putting his head in his hands.
“Hanson drought?” I guessed pathetically.
“We’re not water! We’re not potatoes! There is no such thing as a ‘Hanson drought’ why do you girls say that?” Zac asked.
I laughed along with Jessica.
“What you need is some girlfriends…come on Ike, what about Melanie? Whatever happened to her?” Jessica asked.
Ike sighed.
“Jess, what do you want us to do? Go up to random people and ask them out?” Taylor ran his fingers through his hair.
Zac walked up to me, “Hey Christina? Wanna go out?”
“No you idiot! Come on...Ike seriously- your in love with Melanie…or were. Write a song about it!” Jessica encouraged them.
“Sorry Zac,” I laughed at his joke.
“Jess, you’re a genius!” Ike suddenly jumped up.
“I’m glad someone is finally giving me credit,” She said looking at her nails.
“We’re going to go find Melanie,” Ike said at once.
Zac laughed, “She moved to Los Angeles! And Dad is not going to go anywhere, and after what happened in September…they aren’t going to let us take a plane.”
“We could always drive,” Taylor suggested.
“Yeah, that would be a great idea. You guys are sure to find some inspiration driving to LA,” Jess rolled her eyes.
“We’ll make it a road trip!” Ike agreed.
“Count me out,” Jessica said.
“We never invited you,” Taylor replied.
Jess stuck her tongue out at him.
“It sounds like fun to me…that is, IF I’m invited by Taylor,” A smile spread across my face as I looked into Taylor’s eyes.
“You can come,” He smiled back, “So can you Jess.”
“Sorry, a 14 year old girl doesn’t have any time to go on a road trip with her brothers and best friend,” Jess laughed walking upstairs.
“I feel bad for you if she’s your best friend,” Taylor shook his head.
“SO ANYWAY,” Ike said, “back to the road trip…”
“My parents are gone for the first half of the summer so I can go- how long will we be gone?” I asked.
“We’ll figure it all out tonight and call you in the morning…and figure out if anyone else is going,” Taylor told me.
“Who else would want to go?” Zac asked.
“Hello! We are international superstars!” Taylor exclaimed, “The whole world would want to go on a road trip with us!”
“Umm…WERE international superstars,” I hesitated trying to give them a smile.
“She’s right, I say we head out really soon, we’re musicians…and are fans need more music,” Ike agreed.
“What fans?! Don’t you get it! We’re dead!” Zac yelled standing up.
“Chrissy…maybe you better go now,” Taylor suggested sensing a fight about to come on.
“Yeah, umm…don’t forget to call me?” My hands fell to my side as I walked up the steps.
