Chapter Seventeen

"Isn't that cool that they get to go to Space Camp?" Ike said the next morning.

"Yup. I still think it would be even cooler if we got to go with them." Zac added to the conversation.

"Yeah...but how would we pay for it. Plus, Ike and I are in a different age level group than you." Taylor said to Zac.

"Oh, don't be such a poop. We'll figure something out."

"Sure...whatever." Ike said shaking his head.

"I will....somehow" Zac mumbled.

**At the Girl's house**

"I still can't get over that we get to go to Space Camp!" Megan exclaimed.

"Yeah I know. We're going to the one in Alabama though. So the way I figure it, is that you can come to Tennessee for a while before camp, and then we could go there together." Emily started babbling.

"I would love that! I miss Tennessee so much.....I could visit everyone!"

"Yeah..that would be so great!" Emily said, both girls getting very exited again.

The girls babbled on their plans, and got ready. Megan descided on wearing khaki avalon shorts, and a star trail tee. She did her hair in two french tail braids, and wore brown Dr. Marten sandals. Emily grabbed a pair of blue jean shorts, and a blue tee with the numbers 55 written on it. She left her hair down, with a clip in the front.

"Hello?" Megan asked as she picked up the phone while slipping on her sandals.

"Hey girl..it's Shelly. Wanna' go to the mall or something?" Shelly asked on the other line.

"Sure. Meet in an hour. I'm gonna' call the guys." Megan said in reply. The girls agreed to meet in the food court, and both hung up. Megan called up and told Zac to meet them at the food court. Everyone finished getting ready, and head out for a day of fun.

"Hey babe." Zac greeted Megan as she and Emily walked in the food court to meet up with everyone else. Megan smiled at him, and everyone else, and sat down at the table.

"So what are we going to do today?" Shelly asked. "Dance on the tables?" she asked with a sarcastic voice.

"Hey...now thats and Idea." Taylor agreed.

"Ha Ha" Emily said, knowing that if an idea got in a Hanson's head, you'd better change it soon!

"Hey...look. It's Karioke!" Ike exclaimed. Everyone looked up at the mall stage, and saw that Ike was right. It was karioke day, and anyone could sing on stage.

"Hey, lets do a doo wop!" Zac exclaimed.

"Not me!" Shelly said. "I'll watch you guys make fools of yoursleves!"

"Okie Dokie." Zac said getting up. He pulled Tay and Ike up with them, and they started singing "Where's the Love". (Of cource, it's an unknown song now)

Something has been going on and I don't know what it is
You don't mind the taking girl, but you don't know how to give
You drove me crazy but I don't know baby
You're thinking that it's me you're fooling
Where's the right in, all of our fighting?
Look at what you're doing
Where's the love
It's not enough
It makes the world go 'round and 'round and...
Where's the love
Give it up
It makes the world go 'round and 'round and 'round
Can you tell me what you see whenever you look around?
We're tripping all over ourselves and pulling each other down
We're separating, consciousness is fading
Are you thinking that it's me you're fooling?
Where's the right in, all of our fighting?
Look at, look at, look at what we're doing

(Repeat Chorus)

Dark clouds all around, lightning, rain pouring down
Waiting for the bright light to break through
Face down on the ground
Pick us up at the lost and found
We've got to change our point of view, if we want the sky blue
We're segregating, consciences are fading
You're thinking that it's me you're fooling
Where's the right in, all of our fighting
Look at what we're doing

(Repeat Chorus)

Won't you, won't you give it up

While singing the song, the girls could have sworn that they were looking directly at them. Naturally, they were flattered, and surprised at how they could actually sing desently. Not only was it descent...it was wonderful.
