Chapter 15: .Another."Teeny".Situation. "Excuse me, Taylor? I don't mean to bother you, and I know you were sleeping, buttttttttt..." a very teenybopperish voice spoke.
Taylor opened his eyes to see who had addressed him, and when he saw this girl, he wished he could close his eyes again and make her disappear. She appeared to be no older than twelve, and she was dressed in a pair of shorts and an oversized Hanson t-shirt. Around her neck, she wore a homeade necklace that said "I love Taylor" and at this point, she was jumping up and down wildly. "LOOK, Tay!!! I have a ring just like yours!!!!" she screamed proudly, showing him her hand.
"Oh, that's um...very cool," he yawned. He had just opened his eyes, so he sounded very groggy.
"Ooooh!!!" she squealed. "You sound sooo hot when you just wake up! OH - MY GOD! I am like, your BIGGEST fan! I have ALL your CD's and I have your water bottle from one of your concerts!! It's still filled with water and even your spit, because I KNOW you backwash!!! It's in my room! My walls and ceilings are like COVERED with posters and pinups!! It's a Hanson shrine, like totally!!!!! My sheets and pillow cases on my bed even have your pictures on them!!! HEY! I EVEN HAVE HANSON UNDERWEAR!!!!!!!!!! I can show you if you want!! It's a matching bra and panties set, not to mention the socks!!!!!" she yelled, crying, and started to lift up her shirt.
"Um...nooo...WHOAAAAA...thats, that's okay," Tay said as he patted her hand so she didn't lift them any farther.
"OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! TAYLOR JUST HELD MY HAND!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! I CANT BREATHE!!!!!"
"Um...yeah. What's your name?" he asked, annoyed.
"You can call me Jackie!" she exclaimed.
"Nice to meet you, Jackie. You, uh, certainly do have a great deal of energy, don't you?"
"Not always!"
"Oh...ok," Tay waited, observing that this girl was just staring at him. "is there something I can do for you?" Tay hoped she'd pick up on the hint.
"Yeah! You can kiss me!!!" she giggled.
"Uh, sorry. I, um, I can't do that," he smiled unsincerely, and a bit awkwardly.
"Ohhh, darn. Can I get your autograph?" she asked.
"Ummm..."
"I already got Ike's and Zac's! You don't have to worry about your brothers' rules!" she told him.
"Okay, then..." Tay answered, obviously confused. No one had told him about ANY autographing rules.
"Here, sign this picture! Here's a pen!!" she said, handing the two objects to Tay.
Without even thinking, he printed the "T", made a wide "a", didn't loop his "y", made a straight "l", and then connected the "o" and the "r". He then handed it back to her, thinking hse'd be satisfied, but she just stood staring with a frown. "What's the matter now?!"
"Well, it's just that I've seen your autograph on pictures over the internet and...well, it doesnt look like that," she said.
"Oh, well I'm always changing my signature around. It looks a little different every time, and I'm half asleep," he lied convincingly.
"Oh...that's cool! I get it!" she said and winked her left eye. Then she proceeded to sit on Tay's lap, causing him to react by jumping and yelling "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!?!"
"Sitting down, silly! What does it LOOK like I'm doing?" Jackie giggled once again, uncontrollably.
"Man...you can't...I mean why can't you...you can't sit on my lap!" Taylor finally said, and proceeded to firmly push her off his legs.
"TayTay, if you wanted to play like THAT, why didn't you just say so?! I didn't know you wanted to slap my butt, even though I KNOW it is just so irresistable and cute! You could have told me, you know. I would have..." Jackie spoke, suddenly cutting herself off. It took her a minute to actually register the whole event because she was as dumb as a cow, before she started crying hysterically "Taylor Hanson just touched my butt!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!! His hand was on MY butt!!!! I'M GOING TO FAINT!!!!!!!!"
Taylor dramatically slapped his palm over his forehead and began mumbling incoherently, until he was interrupted by the flight attendant.
"Excuse me, is everything all right here?" she asked a bit angrily.
Jackie whipped around to face the flight attendant with a dreamy look on her teary face. Taylor took this as an opportunity to wave his hands frantically back and forth, shaking his head "no", and then pointing to Jackie and then the exit door.
Laura, the flight attendant, had no idea what he was trying to tell her, but took the hint anyway. "Are you supposed to be here, Miss?"
"I'm with my Tay!!" she answered indignantly.
Tay continued his utter nonsense of trying to rid himself of the teeny.
"You do realize this is the first class section, don't you?" Laura questioned.
"Well, duh!" Jackie replied.
"You ALSO know not all passengers can be here?" she proposed, raising an eyebrow.
"Welllll..."
"May I see your ticket, please?"
"My dad has it..." Jackie trailed off. "...out there," she sighed, knowing she was defeated.
"Come on, I will take you back to your seat," Laura said, winking at Tay, who in turn mouthed "thank you" a hundred times.
For a while, Tay heard her screaming his name, but when she finally cooled down, he leaned back in his seat, letting a sigh of relief, fatigue, and frustration escape his mouth.
"Get used to it," Zac laughed.
"You dont mean..."
"Yep, there's a ton more where she came from. They aren't always that bad, but we do get a few extremities..." Zac said laughing.
"UGH!!! How was I able to stand it before?!" Tay asked, grasping his head, causing his whole family to break out into a round of laughter.
