After everyone was done shopping, got a bite to eat, and went to the Hansons' house. "Let's see what's on tv." Zac said. "What?? No sci-fi channel?? How can I live?!" Beth moaned, a hand across her forehead. Jeff laughed. "I guess you'll just have to abduct yourself from now on." Beth stuck her toungue out at him and laughed. "Hey, at least they have Comedy Central." Mary added. "Yess!!!! Southpark!" Melissa yelled. Everyone laughed. "Aah! Grease is on VH1! Keep it on!" Mary cried, and made Taylor stop channel surfing. "What teen doesn't love this movie?!" Isaac commented. Beth shrugged. "Who knows?" Ike settled down on the floor next to Beth, and leaned his back onto the couch. They started watching the movie a little after the beginning, where Oliva Newton-John is singing about John Travolta and the "summer nights". Beth hummed along, and Ike laughed. "What?" she said, a questioning look on her face. "I bet every single person on this planet knows every tune in this whole movie." he whispered. She giggled. "What are you giggling about Beth?" Mary accused, a smile on her face. "We were talking about how annoying you are." Beth shot back. Melissa laughed. "Well, you know, Grease is back in theaters. We should go see it." "How about after dinner?" Zac suggested. "sures" and "okays" sounded from the group of teens. Isaac stood up. "Beth", he said in a sweet-yet-serious tone "I'd be honored if you'd be my date for tonight." Beth blushed and took his hand. Everyone clapped, and laughed. "Oooooh It's sooo romantic!" Zac squealed. Melissa giggled. "Come on, everyone needs a date. I've already got mine! We have to act older (and I have no idea why) but we just do". Isaac said triumphantly. Gingerly, Taylor leaned over to Ami and gave her a small kiss on the cheek. "Will you be my date?" He whispered. Ami changed a light shade of pink and nodded, a small smile on her lips. Zac tried singing his offer to Melissa in the key of MMMbop, but unsuccessfully. Melissa was laughing her head off and said yes immediatley. Jeff watched Taylor closely. 'How does he do that?' he thought sadly. He turned to Mary. "Will you be..my date?" He said quickly, his eyes cast down. Mary tilted his chin up. "I'd love to." she replied, and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Beth looked at them. "Taylor, I think blushing is a family trait." she said, giggling. **7:00pm** The boys escorted the 4 girls to the Hanson's van, and they drove down to the movie theater place. A sign Grease was lit up in front of the theater. After they payed for the tickets, Zac bought 2 monster buckets of popcorn and some lemonades. "Okay, who's gonna sing with us?" Mary asked, looking at the guys. "I will!" Zac piped up, and Beth laughed. "Okay, now who's willing to sing and do the Hand Jive with us during the movie?" She asked. The guys giggled, and finally obliged. "Yess!" Melissa said, and gave a high-five to Ami. The teenagers finally picked the second row from the front, and then the movie began. "Grease is the time, is the place, is the notion..." Beth sang along softly. Ike looked at her, and grinned, and joined her. She smiled, and he reached over and held her hand.
