Chapter 43

As Taylor and Beth walked down stairs, Ike, Zac, Kristin, & Kate walked out of the living room and stood at the foot of the steps. Taylor and Beth stopped in their tracks. "Uh, could we get by now?" Beth asked. "Where were you planning to go?" Kate asked. "Oh, I don't know. It's 6:30 at night so it seems like it's about time for diner and I smell something cooking in the kitchen," replied Taylor. "Hmmm.... that sounds logical. I guess you can pass," Kristin said as everyone moved out of the way. Beth and Taylor started walking to the kitchen. "Hold on a minute," Zac said. Beth and Taylor turned around. "Why?" Taylor asked. "So?" Kristin asked. "So, what?" Beth asked confused. "Beth, don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about," Zac said. "We don't," Beth and Taylor said at the same time. "Uh huh," Kate said. "Ok, guys. We're just going to get something to eat," "Ok, but you owe us an explaination after dinner," Kristin said. "We don't owe you anything," Taylor said. "Don't talk back to me! I'm older than you!" Zac screamed at them. "Yeah Zac, and I'm the Queen of England," Beth said sarcastically. "You are?! Beth how come you never told us? How come your not there? You probably could have been part of the Spice Girls instead of Northern Lights!" Kate exclaimed. "It was a figure of speech," Beth said. "I was just joking! Let's go grab some dinner you two!" Kate said."Kate you trader!" Zac yelled after her. "So I like them better than you guys. What's the big deal?" "Why don't we all just go get dinner," Taylor reasoned. "Why didn't we think of that?" Kristin asked no one in particular.
