"UH! KATE! CLAIRE! GET YOUR BUTTS IN HERE!" the 16 year old girl yelled.

Taryn had been waiting for her friends for 30 minutes and they just walked in.

Kate and Claire were 2 of her really good friends. Taryn was 15, Kate was 13, and Claire was 10. Sure, thier ages are sorta spread, but they like grew up together baisically, so it really didn't matter. Plus, the younger 2 are pretty mature for they're age.....Well Taryn's best friend in the whole world was this guy, (not her boyfriend) named Isaac. He lives parralel to her-Her backyard is separated from his back yard by a fence, which they purposley cut down a peice for a door so they could get through whenever they wanted.

Anyway, Ike (as they all called him) was in the music biz with his bros. He was 15, like Taryn, and he is in this band called "Hanson" with his brothers, Tay (who is 13),and Zac (Who's 10). It started out pretty small, but when they started performing and all, they got big around Tulsa, but then they got a record deal with Mercury Records, so they were gonna go record in a few months.

Ike was Taryn's best friend in the whole world because she could tell him anything, and he could tell her anything. The two teens spent tons of time together. Taryn would give up anything to make him happy, because he was so sweet to her.

Kate and Claire walked into her room.

"Could somebody PLEASE tell me why we are here?" Claire asked. You see, me and Kate had been talking, and discovered we both had this thing...well I'll get to it later...and we wanted to talk to Claire about it.

"OK. Now Claire lets all sit down, alright." Taryn said

"OK!" She was a bit of a hyper chick. Kate and Taryn both started at the same time "Um....." they both said together.

"Taryn and I have been talking, and uh," Kate said, biting her lip and looking at Taryn, giving her the 'this is it' look. Taryn nodded at her. "Look, I'll make it short. I like Tay and Taryn likes Ike."

"WOW!" She shouted. "Like I didn't already know this!" She didn't get it. "I knew that! hello, you're best friends!" She said with a really dorky phony smile.

"No no no...You dont get it..." Taryn said. "We like them....as in....boy friend and girlfriend, couple, whatever you want to call it, we LIKE them."

"Oh now I get it."

"Oh my gosh." Claire thought 'yes! I can't believe it! I totally felt the same way too about Zac. Wow.' She looked up and smiled, thanking God they said it first, so she wouldn't have too.

"OH MY GOSH! GUYS THATS FANTASTIC! Yes! I feel sooo the same way about Zac! Oh gosh I am so glad you told me!" She said.

Kate and Taryn smiled at each other. They all hugged.

"Now guys, one prob." Taryn said. "Should we tell them? Should we tell our best friends that we want to be more than friends?" She asked.

Kate chimed in- "Well you know, ok this is what could happen. number 1, they could say they feel the same way, which we would like to happen." She ran her fingers through her long brown hair. "But, number 2, they could say they DONT feel the same way, and it would never be the same again."

They all looked around at each other, Taryn could tell everyone was dreaming of what number 1 would be like.

"Taryn, your the oldest." Claire said. "You decide. Whatever you say, I'm with you all the way." Claire and Kate looked at Taryn. She gave them a pleading look, like 'Do I HAVE to do this?'

"Ok. I'll decide. but you gotta have to promise not to be mad at me if the worst happens, k?" Taryn said

"Ok." Claire and Kate both said.

Taryn sighed a deep sigh. She looked down, covered her eyes, and looked up again. "I say we tell them."

Claire and Kate nodded. They all hugged again. Taryn picked up the phone in her room. It rang.

****In the Hanson house, the same time Kate, Taryn, and Claire are talking.****

"IKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Taylor yelled. He needed to talk to his brothers, Zac, and Ike badly. Zac was in the room already, and Taylor was just yelling for Isaac. "COME ON!!!!!!!" he said loudly.

"OK OK I'M COMING!" He yelled. "WHAT?!" he said entering the room.

"I have to you both, it's very serious." Taylor said.

"What about?!" Ike demanded.

"Kate." Taylor

"Yea, what about her?" Ike asked.

Taylor gave him a look. "If you let me finish, I'll get to that." Taylor said, trying not to scream.

Zac sat there waiting for Tay to talk. I hope this is what I thought it was going to be about...

"OK look. You have to promise not to tell ANYONE this!" Taylor said loudly.

"Promise." Zac and Ike said in unison.

Taylor took a deep breath. "Kate. I like her....more than a friend. How do you guys feel about Taryn and Claire?"

Zac let out a huge sigh. "YES!!!! WOO HOO YOU SAID IT!!! AHH PHEW!! YAY NOW I DONT HAVE TO SAY IT FIRST! YES! YES! I LIKE CLAIRE!" Zac screamed.

Taylor sighed a huge sigh and lifted his arms up and thanked God. He knew he wasn't alone anymore. He had liked Kate, my best friend, for about a year now, and he had to tell someone. Taylor and Zac looked at Isaac.

"Well?" Zac asked. "Do you like Taryn?"

Ike smiled a huge grin. They knew what he meant.

"So should we tell them?" Ike asked.

"Uh, I think so....it could be bad...but could be A LOT better...I say we go for it." Taylor said proudly.

Zac and Ike nodded their heads. Ike went to pick up so he could phone to ask them to come over, because he had seen Claire and Kate walking into Taryn's house. Taryn was a tall blone-standing strong at 5'7" she had shining sea green eyes and long hair she always wore pulled back. Kate on the other hand was a tiny brunette-she had shoulder length sark hair and dark eyes. Claire was cute with chin lenght blone hair and ice blue eyes.

As soon as Issac was about to pick up the phone, it rang.

"Hello?" Ike asked.

**Back at Taryn's House**

"Ike? It's Taryn." She said softly.

"Hey Taryn!" Ike said, turning around to make sure his brothers new that it was her.

"Uh, Ike? Me, Kate, Claire are all here. We need to talk to you-and Tay and Zac." Taryn said.

"Uh, OK. We'll be right over." Isaac replied.

"ok. Bye!" she said.

"Bye Tar'" (Authors note: "Tar" is short for Taryn. Its not pronounced Tar, its pronounced Tear")

Isaac hung up. He smiled. "They're coming over."

Kate looked up with her eyes, smiling, and silently praying everything would turn out for the best.

'Oh gosh, this better work out.' Kate kept thinking to herself

She could hear them open Tar's front door. We all smiled at each other once more, wishing for the best.

They opened Tar's bedroom door. Ike came in first, then Tay, then Zac.

"Hey guys." Taryn said, standing up to hug Isaac. That was sort of all our's little ritual when we saw them. Each hug our best friend, then say hi to everyone else. She wrapped her arms around him, and everyone knew she was enjoying it. Kate stood up to hug Tay, and Claire staood up to hug Zac. Kate wrapped her arms around Tay, and glanced over at Taryn, who smiled at Kate.

Zac looked down at Claire, she could tell he liked her outfit. They hugged and we all sat down in a circle. Girls on one side, guys on the other.

Kate looked at Kate. She smiled at her,Taryn smiled back.

"Ok guys, we need to talk to you about something serious."Taryn said.

Zac wondered what it was. 'Well, anyway, once they were finished, we were going to have to tell them.'he thought.

"ok look guys...how do I put this?" she said nervously.

Ike said "Tar, dont be nervous, you know you can tell us, or at least me, anything, really."

She looked at the girls. They gave her the 'go on' look and so she had to. "Alright guys, uh, we......Alright I'll say it. Baisically, we," This was her last chance. She knew nothing would ever be the same again, no matter what they said. She looked at Ike for the last time as my best friend. "We like you! There, I said it!" she sighed. "We like you more than friends, more than best friends, if you know what I mean."

Isaac gasped. Oh gosh what was he going to say?

Taylor looked at her. "Are you serious?"

"Dead serious. All of us." she replied

"Oh geez!" Zac said, Ike was speechless. Taryn couldn't tell what they were trying to say.

After about 5 heart-wrenching seconds, Ike blurted out: "Oh gosh. Uh, Tar? Give me a hug." she gave him a strange look, and hugged him.

The reason he asked her to give me a hug was he wanted to make sure the feeling was right. hewanted to make sure that this is what he wanted. He let go,then smiled.

'Oh gosh what is he going to say.'Taryn thought

"Thats it. Ok guys, let me tell you something." Ike said. "Like a second before you called, we were going to call you."

"Uh, for what?" Claire asked. Kate was trying to figure out what Tay was thinking, he was just sitting there going 'Oh my god. Oh my god' softly.

Ike smiled,"The same reason you wanted to talk to us."

Taryn sighed a sigh of relief. "Are you kidding me? Your serious? You like us? All of you?" she said wide eyes.

"Yes!" Zac said.

Ike smiled at Taryn and then leaned over to her. 'He kissed me. HE KISSED ME! On the lips. This was the best day of my life. My first kiss, my first boyfriend, Isaac Hanson.'she thought silently.He smiled at her.

Tay very fastly grabbed Kate around the waist,and started hugging her like mad.

Zac and Claire just blushed. Ike grabbed his brothers and took them to the corner of Taryn's room. He talked to them, and next thing they new was they were down on their knees and all saying in their Rico Suave voices "Will you go out with me?"

Taryn and Kate turned around and grabbed Claire, who was laughing hysterically.

"Oh my gosh guys can you believe this? Pinch me tell me its not a dream!" Kate said.Taryn pinched her.

"Its not a dream dummy!" They all turned around.

"Of course I will" Taryn said to Ike.

"Yea." Kate said.

"Ah hhaaaahhh!" Claire said.

Tay pulled Kate close to him. He kissed her. Her heart totally melted.

'Ok, my brothers kissed their girlfriends. Should I kiss mine? Yea! Go for it Zac! 'Zac thought with an odd look on his face.

Kate looked at Claire. She walked over to her.

'Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Zac is going to kiss me. I'm only 10 and I am going to have my first kiss, Taryn just had hers, and she is 15. I'm lucky! 'Claire kept thinking.

Zac pulled herin. He looked at her, and just went for it. He put his lips to hers, and there they were together......happy.....as it was always meant to be...
