`Great, now we are all going to die of food poisoning and then I'll never get to meet the girl of my dreams all because my two little sisters don't know the different between vanilla and toxic chemicals.' Zac thought to himself.
"What is it?" Mack asked.
"Brownies!" Avery smiled wide as she set a plate of brownies topped with a ton of powdered sugar on them.
Dessert together in the Hanson household wasn't that important so they all split up with Jess and Avery sitting at the table with Mack and Zoe as Diana and her husband (Walker) washed the dishes. Isaac, Taylor, and Zac took some brownies on a separate plate and decided to sit on the front porch and eat them. All the fans had gone home for dinner; so the brothers could actually sit and eat their brownies outside in privacy.
"Do you think they are edible?" Ike said banging a brownie onto the table. The brownie was rock solid.
"No!" Zac laughed throwing the brownie into the street. With his luck the brownie broke once it hit the road and splattered all over the road.
"Hey! You're going to clean that up you delinquents!" Some old lady walking her dog yelled to the guys.
They all started cracking up.
"So Ike, tell me about this Jake guy's sister," Zac said once he had stopped laughing.
"Why are you so obsessed about girls all of the sudden? Did the hormones finally kick in?" Ike laughed.
"No, I'm not a horny bastard like Taylor over here," Zac laughed.
"Ouch?" Taylor said sarcastically not really caring about the comment that was just made about him.
"It's just- I'm fourteen and haven't had a girlfriend!" Zac replied almost whining.
"What about Jamie, Amy, and Katie?" Ike asked attempting to break another brownie.
"They don't count," Zac put it simply.
"Oh okay…" Taylor rolled his eyes at his younger brother, "Whatever."
"What is that? Your new word?" Ike asked getting annoyed by Taylor's constant use of the word `whatever'.
"Whatever," Taylor replied again.
"Shut up!" Ike groaned jokingly throwing a brownie at Tay's head.
"Ouch!" Tay said rubbing his head.
"Oh come on! It's a brownie!" Zac said.
"No, it's rock that looks like a brownie- I will NEVER eat anything Jess and Ave cook again," Taylor said in a regretful voice.
"I will never eat brownies again-period!" Ike laughed.
"So anyway, Jake's sister…" Zac reminded Ike trying to get back on the subject.
"Lucy?" Ike asked.
Taylor burst out laughing as Zac groaned.
"What?" Ike looked so confused.
"That stupid name! It doesn't leave me alone!" Zac whined.
"Anyway, she's cool Zac." Ike said.
"Does she know that you're famous and all?" Tay asked before Zac could. Taylor like to do that to Zac- Taylor could always read Zac's mind so he either always asking questions or answering them before Zac could. It used to bother Zac a lot; but he got over it- just like how he was still trying to get over how overwhelming fame was- three years AFTER he's famous.
"I don't know I have only talked to her like once. You'll probably like her." Ike managed to give a weak smiled as he chewed one of the softer brownies.
"Is she hot?" Taylor asked. This was one question that Zac hadn't thought of asking YET. He was trying the `looks don't matter' approach.
"Why don't you guys come over for yourself to their house tomorrow and you can meet Jake and Lucy," Ike suggested.
"Sounds like a plan," Zac nodded as he looked towards the direction of the city. The Tulsa skyline was a beautiful site. And since they lived just out of the city into the suburbs they had a great view of the sun setting.
"Okay, whatever- I like need sugar. Do you think mom will let us have some ice cream or something since these brownies totally suck?" Tay asked.
"Yeah, but we promised Jess and Ave we'd eat all of these…"
Ike's voice trailed off as he shuddered at the thought of consuming another piece of those. Isaac was the only one actually brave enough to eat a brownie. Taylor and Zac were smarter- they opted NOT to eat a rock…or what tasted and felt like a rock.
"I say we give them to the neighbor's dog," Zac suggested.
"Yeah, and then when we get a call saying there dog died from our sister's brownies how are we going to explain how they got there?" Ike asked.
"They will never know they are our sister's brownies you nerd," Zac said taking the plate of brownies and dumping them over the fence into the neighbors yard.
"Okay, let's go get some ice cream," Taylor laughed getting up.
"We are so dead if anyone finds those stupid brownies," Ike shook his head.
"No, we are only dead if you blab." Zac said crumpling up the foam plate and throwing it at Ike.
"Well, hopefully we won't be literally dead…" Taylor's voice trailed off.
"SARCASM Taylor," Zac shook his head in disbelief that his brother had like no sense of humor whatsoever. Taylor just took everything so…literally. Actually, Tay DID have a sense of humor- a very odd one; he laughed at all the stupid things.
