When Veronica got to their house they all decided 
on going to a movie.  They went to the movie theater 
and their only choices were Men In Black or George Of 
the Jungle.  They had a few problems deciding on a 
movie.  Isaac and Veronica wanted to see Men In Black, 
but Taylor and Zac wanted to see George of the Jungle.  
They ended up going to MIB. 
   They spent another hour at the mall after the move 
and then they went back to the Hanson house.
   Laughing, Veronica noticed what time the clock said, 
it was almost 5:00pm, "Uh, I gotta be home soon, I 
think I should get going."  She stood up. And then, 
like a chain reaction, Tyalor stood up.
   He walked her to the door.  Zac looked at her and 
said, "I love you man!" and then added, more calmly, 
"Bye, Veronica."
   "C-ya!" Isaac called from the near by living room.
   With a small laugh she yelled back, "Bye, Zac!  Later, 
Ike!" 
   Taylor opened the door to let her out.  "Bye, Tay," 
she said happily and smiled.
   He smiled back and said, "Bye.  It was fun.  Maybe 
we can get together again soon?"
   "Sure!  I'll call ya later!" she waved as she walked 
out the door and down the street.

   Taylor walked alongside the river that was just about 
half a mile behind his house.  He looked around, it was 
night-time.  The town's light seemed to distant to him.  
But the site of it gave him chills, for he enjoyed just 
looking upon them, pondering, sorting out things in his 
mind.
   The nights breeze, cool and soft, whirled through his 
hair, blowing it all around.
   Continuing to walk on towards the river, he let his 
mind stop on Veronica.  He wondered what his feeling were 
for her.  He couldn't decide weather he thought of her as 
just a friend or something more.
   Just then, he spotted Veronica sitting on a huge rock; 
her back facing Taylor.  He decided to take this to his 
advantage.  I'm gonna sneak up on her, he thought 
silently to himself.
   He snuck up on her and gently tapped both of her 
shoulders using both hands and all four fingers.  "Boo!" 
he screeched.
   "Oh, hi, Tay," she said in a very calm voice.
   He put on a fake pout, "You mean I didn't scare you?"
   "You'll have to be more quiet than that fi you want to 
scare me."
   He looked out at the river..  the water gently splashing 
up against the other side where there was a drop of about 
4 feet.
   "Wanna go for a swim?" she asked.  She turned and faced 
him for the first time, Whoa.. she looks really gorgous!
   Even though he knew the water was extremely cold, he found
himself saying yes.
   They waded out into the water; farther and farther.  
Taylor held her hand as they went out.
   It seemed only a short time, and what had happened was
all just a blurr in his mind.
   He was freezing!  But his mind soon forgot that when he 
relized what had happened.  Veronica had gotten caught in 
the current and was underwater.  Bubbles floated to the top 
above her as she let out air.  He swam under, franticly trying 
to find her.
   To what seemed like forever to Taylor, but really only a 
minute or two later he, too, got sucked under.  The speeding 
current, which seemed rather calm from the view he had had 
sitting on the shore, took him farther down the river.  He 
struggled to breath, taking deep breaths every time he got 
the chance.
