Chapter 67
A couple days later they went to Minnesota. It was Sunday, so they
went to Beth's church. They brought Mackenzie to 4 year olds, then
went into the sancutuary. In the middle of the service, Mackenzie's
number flashed on the monitor. Beth was sitting on the end, so she
went to see what was wrong. After 10 minutes had passed, Beth still
hadn't come back. Kristin and Zac went to see what was wrong. "Hey,
what's taking you so long?" Kristin asked. "Mackie has a little
problem," Beth started saying when Taylor, Isaac, and Kate walked in.
"Mac, what's wrong?" Isaac asked a crying Mackenzie. "Mackenzie
doesn't want to stay in here," Beth answered. "Why not?" Taylor asked.
"Well, it's actually kinda funny. See, he kissed Katelyn on the cheek
and the teachers thought it was cute, so they laughed. But that made
him think he was supost to do that, so he kissed her 3 more times.
Katelyn started crying, so Mackie got sad and they called us. What do
we do?" Beth explained. "Mackenzie!" exclaimed Isaac while Taylor
tried to hold back laughter and Zac said, "Way to go, Mac!" Through
his laughs.
That night at the hotel, the guys desided to start the pranks again,
so they opened a can of anchovies that really stunk, in the middle of
the night and set it in the girls room. Around 4:30 am, the girls woke
up. "What's that smell?" Kate asked. "It's really ronchie," Beth said.
"It's anchovies," Kristin said as she picked up the can of fish. "Ok,
maybe I didn't grow out of pranks!" Beth exclaimed. "What do you
mean?" Kate asked. "Shhh! Be qiuet," hissed Beth as she opened the
door, and the girls smuched into the boys room, and dumped to
anchovies all over the room. The next morning, Diana called the boys
room to wake them up, but when they stood up, they stepped all over
the anchovies.
Back in Tulsa- A couple days later
"Hey, Zac. Are you getting worried about this summer? Kristin asked.
"Why would I be worried?" asked a confused Zac. "Because, you're going
into 7th grade. That means you get a physical," continued Kate. "What
do you get in a physical?" Zac asked worriedly. "Oh you go to the
doctors and they check everything to make sure you're healthy, then in
a period of three months you'll get 3 hepititus B shots, a tetanus
shot, and a MRI shot," Beth answered. "Huh? A shot? No, Mom! Do I have
to get a physical?" Zac asked his mother, who was walking by. "I see
you've been talking to the girls, and yes you have to get a physiccal
sorry hun," Diana said. "Zut alors!" complained Zac. "What?" Isaac
asked, who had just walked in the room. "Oh, Kristin taught me how to
say Darn it in French. Zut alors!" Zac replied.
A couple days later they went to do a concert at a mall in North
Dakota. A couple of hours before the concert they all went shopping
(in discise of course!). The boys wore their hair up in baseball caps
and sunglasses on. When Hanson and the girls caught up with Walker and
Diana and the younger four backstage, Zac brought to their attention, "Mom,
can I get my nose pierced?" "Are you crazy! Of course not!" said a
scared Diana. "But Beth got her ear pierced!" Zac complained. "Beth,
is this true?" Diana asked seriously. "Yes, but I already have five
holes in my ears, what's one more?" Beth asked. "You have six earings
now?" asked a suprised Taylor. "Just four in one and two in the
other...don't worry, I'm not getting any more!" "Well, Zac, Beth can
do what she wants, I'm not her mother, but you cannot get your nose
pierced," Diana said sternly.
The night after that, Hanson had to go to the Grammy Awards. On their
way there, everyone was talking and thinking on the plane. Then Beth
started listing stupid things to do on the elevator. When they got to
the hotel, everyone was on the elevator going up to their rooms. The
elevator was really quiet and there was a bunch of people that were
going to be at the Grammy's on the elevator, when all of a sudden Zac
smashed his head up against the wall several times saying, "Shut up!
Shut up! All of you, shut up!" His head was stopped by Walker's hand,
"Don't worry. We're taking him to a phycitrist," Walker told Jewel who
was giving Zac a strange look. Later at the Grammy's, Hanson won all
three awards (A.N. This is a story, we mine as well let them win all
the awards! We all know they deserved them!), and then said their
aceptance speech before they performed Weird. (A.N. We don't know
about anyone else, but we would have rather heard Weird, insteady of
Mmmbop.) "For the past couple months the group known as Northern
Lights had bee staying with us and they taught us a lot," Isaac said.
"Like when you get in an arguement with your older brother, do it
right, because they would give anything to fight with their brothers
again," continued Taylor. "And not to stay up past curfew, and if you
do, don't go outside, you'll probably get locked out of the house,"
chimmed Zac. "And respect your parents," Isaac said. "Because you
never know when they'll disapear," Taylor continued. "And Kristin and
Beth taught me how to say, 'Je voudrais acheter un cerveau et je un
sale cochon', I have no idea what I just said, but I can say it!" Zac
said. "Uh, Zac. They told me what it means and you just said, 'I would
like to buy a brain and I am a dirty pig' in French," Taylor answered.
(A.N. You wouldn't believe the thing we learn in French class!) "What?
But I just bought a brain at the mall yesterday, and I am not a dirty
pig," complained Zac, snorting. "Well, we all talked about it and we
decided to give this award to Northern Lights. They've been through a
lot the past couple of months and they deserve it more than us," Isaac
said. Then they performed and were met backstage by Northern Lights.
Beth ran up to Taylor and gave him a hug and a kiss. "Hey, you kissed
me. Took you long enough!" Taylor exclaimed. "Well I figured it was
about time and I said to myself, 'Self, stop being so shy. You're
supost to be hyper'." Cracked Beth. "You're nut-o," Isaac commented.
(Oh yeah, the Grammy's are a dress up thing, so Kate was wearing a
light yellow florr length dress, Beth was wearing a lavender floor
length dress with a white sweater, and Kristin was wearing a baby blue
floor length dress.)
