After the long plane trip, they finally arrived in Oklahoma City.
    "OK, everybody, stay close to your bodyguard," said Walker. 
    "Bodyguards? Where are our bodyguards? XAVIER! YAPO! MARTINIQUE!" 
screamed a frantic Beth. 
    "We're right over here! Is it time to go already?" asked Xavier. 
    "Uh, yeah", said an embarassed Beth. 
    "OK then! Let's get going into that crowd!" readied Yapo. 
    (A.N.: Xavier is Beth's bodyguard, Yapo is Kate's bodyguard, and 
Martinique is Kristin's bodyguard.)

    They went right to the auditorium, did the sound-check and 
concert. Then they went to a nearby Taco Bell to eat after the 
concert. The hungry bunch ran into the building. 
    "Taylor, where's Mackie?" asked an edgy Diana. 
    (Let's just say, she didn't have a lot of fun getting through the 
enormous crowd of people and you can't blame her.) 
    "I thought it was Ike's turn to watch him", said Taylor. 
    "No, it's your turn!" Exclaimed Isaac. 
    "Taylor, where is he!" said a now franticly worried Diana. 
    "Mom, he's in his carseat sitting in the van," explained a very 
hungry Zac. 
    "Well why didn't you bring him in?" asked a now relieved Diana. 
    "I didn't bring him in because it wasn't my turn!" Zac said matter
of factly, as they went to find a place to sit. 
    "You six can sit at that booth", Walker pointed to a booth in the 
corner for Hanson & Northern Lights to sit at. 
    "The rest of us will be sitting over here." When the 6 teens were 
finished with their tacos they waited for Avery, Jessie, & Mackie to 
finish theirs. 
    While waiting, Beth grabbed a packet of hot sauce that was laying 
in front of her. She started hitting it softly with her fist, then 
started hitting it harder. Suddenly, she hit it so that it burst open,
spraying her in the face. Everyone at the table started laughing at 
her. 
    "Well, that was stupid!" Exclaimed Isaac who was sitting across 
from her. 
    "Ouch! Quick, get it off of me! It's in my eyes and it stings! 
Owie! Owie! Owie!" exclaimed Beth as everyone took napkins and wiped 
it off of her. 
    "That was NOT funny!" said Beth as everyone, including Beth, 
started laughing again. 
    After everyone was done eating they all got into the vanand headed 
for the Hanson home in Tulsa. Taylor, Beth, Zac, & Kristin sat in the 
very back. While Isaac & Kate sat in the seat directly in front of 
Beth, Kristin, Taylor, & Zac. Next seat up was Jessie, Avie, & Mackie. 
Walker drove while Diana rode shot-gun. They arrived at the Hanson 
home about 1:30am Saturday morning.
