Chapter 68

A couple days later, they had another interview with Bop:
Bop: Congradulations on your Grammy's, that was really sweet of you 
     guys to give your third one to Northern Lights.
Zac: Yeah, it was all my idea.
Bop: I'm going to ask you six each six question and each answer has to 
     be a person you would want with you. You're walking to your car late 
     at night in a deserted parking lot...
Kate: David, this really hot guy who went to my church in Minnesota.
Kristin: That cumo wretler guy on the Olympics. The bad guy would 
     bounce right off him.
Beth: Nate...oh...um....opps.
Taylor: Beth!
Beth: What? He's like my best guy friend, besides I was just kidding.
Zac: I would want my body guard
Isaac: Yeah, same for me.
Taylor: Bodyguard or Dad.
Bop: You're going to Disney World...
Kate: David
Kristin: One of my friends
Beth: A friend.
Zac: An alien
Isaac: Jessie, Avie, or Mackie
Taylor: Family or a friend
Bop: You're facing Kemp theropy for cancer...
Kate: David.
Kristin: Zac, he'd make you laugh.
Beth: Diana
Zac: Mom or Dad
Isaac: My friends
Taylor: My parents
Bop: You're babysitting for three rambuncious boys/girls...
Kate: Someone who can teach them a lesson
Kristin: A guy who likes kids
Beth: Some kid. No! That bum from L.A. See there was this homeless 
    guys who limped across the road in front of the van singing, "Ah, he 
    ran over my toe."
Zac: Uh, a girl
Isaac: It depends on how old they are
Taylor: Same as Zac
Bop: You witnessed a robbery and are eing held hostage...
Kate: A guy named Joe
Kristin: Normally I'd say Zac, but in this case he'd probably get us 
    shot or he'd be freaking out.
Zac: I would not be freaking out!
Kristin: Oh really? Take a look at how freaked you were at Parmas 
    Park, NJ.
Zac: Oh, well, Ike your turn
Isaac: Dad
Taylor: My father
Zac: Dad
Bop: You just broke up with your boyfriend/girlfriend...
Kate: David
Zac: Would you shut up about this David dude? You're obsessed!
Kristin: Friends
Beth: Friends
Zac: Uh, that wouldn't happen because I don't have a girlfriend
Isaac: Same as Zac, but friends or family
Taylor: It took me a lot of guts to ask Beth out, I'm not planning on 
    breaking up with her any time soon
Beth: Uh, Taylor? I don't like you anymore
Taylor: Huh?
		End of interview
"Beth, we need to talk," Taylor said as he led Beth into the hallway, 
"What do you mean, you don't like me anymore? Are you dumping me?..
euh...Not only do you have to dump me in front of my family, you have 
to do it on an interview!" "Wait Taylor! I didn't mean it. You were 
wide open for a comment. I'm really sorry. Sometimes I don't think 
before I speak, and that's bad. I'm sorry, I didn't think you'd take 
it that way. I'm really sorry, really. I didn't mean it. I do still 
like you. If I really dumped you, I would have the ring off. Please 
forgive me. I didn't mean it," Beth pleaded. "Ok, I forgive you. Just don't do
anything like that again. Promise. That really freaked me out in 
there," Taylor said, relieved. "I promise," Beth answered.


The next day everyone was back in Tulsa. For school, they had to watch a National Geographic video. During the theme song, at the beginning, when a drum beats twice, the girls clapped. Beth ran up to the VCR and re-wound to that part. "Everyone has to clap at that part," Beth said as she pressed play. The guys had no clue of what to do, so they clapped at the wrong time. So Beth kept re-winding the video until everyone clapped at the same time.

The next day, everyone went to Australia for two days, then Japan for three, and to Italy for four. After Italy, they all went home to Tulsa. On March 9th, Hanson had a meeting to organize when they were going to start working on a new album. The meeting was a semi-formal dinner so Isaac was wearing black pants and a black, blue, and white striped shirt. Taylor was wearing khakis with the black Adidas imposter shirt. Zac was wearing brown cords and a green shirt with a blue and white stripe across the middle. Kristin was wearing brown and tan checkered pants with a brown shirt. Kate was wearing black flare legged pants and a white Abercrombie, long-sleeved shirt. Beth was wearing tan flare legged pants with a blue Sugar shirt. Walker and Diana said that if Isaac drove to the resterant with the older five, that they could stop at Laser Quest on the way home. He agreed. The dinner meeting ended at about 10:00 pm. Everyone played a couple games of laser tag, then headed home at about 12:30 pm. There was one other car on the road besides Isaac. Isaac was driving, Beth was in the front passenger seat, with Taylor between her and Isaac. Kate, Kristin, and Zac were in the back seat.

Everyone at the Hanson house was asleep, when there was a knock on the door. Diana got up and answered it. "Are you Mrs. Hanson?" asked the police officer at the door. Walker came to the entry way to join his wife in the worry. "Yes, what's wrong?" Diana asked. "I'm officer Reed of the Tulsa police. I'm sorry to disterb you at this hour, but their's been an accident..."
