Rebecca called her parents as soon as they were in the hotel suite.

"Hey Mom!"

"Hi Sweetie! How's New York?"

"It's SO awsome! We're going on Jay Leno tonight!!!"

"Really?! That's great!"

"Make sure you watch,and call Grandma and Grandpa!"

"Ok. Bye!"

"Bye!" She hung up and walked back into the kitchen.

"So Zac...what time are we leaving?"

"At...i don't know. Probably at like 7. Untill then..."he finished with kisses on her neck.

"Where are your parents?"

"Shopping."

"Little kids?"

"Shopping."

"Other 4?"

"Lobby."

"We're alone?"

"Yeah." His answers were short only because he was still planting soft kisses on her neck. She dragged him into her bedroom that she shared with Amy and Katherine. As he slid her sweater over her head,they heard the elevator that went straight into the suite open.

"Zac,get off!"she said in a loud whisper. She put her sweater back on,and he ran to turn the TV on.

"Hey kids. We're back,"Walker smiled at the two 13-year-olds laying on the bed,watching TV.

"Hey Dad."

"We're leaving at 7:00. Be ready."

"Ok."

"What time is it Zac?" Rebecca asked.

"10."

"We've got all day."

"I know! Let's go down to the lobby." He jumped up and reached his hand out to her.

"What do you say Babydoll?"

"Let's go!" They got some money from his parents,and headed to the lobby.

"Ok Babe,what do you wanna do?"

"Uhm,let's go downstairs. I think someone said that there's some cool cafe down there."

"Ok." They walked down the stairs and into the cafe.

"May i take your order?"the waitress smiled politley.

"One chocolate milkshake,two straws,"Zac ordered.

"Hey,I know you. You're Zac Hanson!"

"Yeah,yeah i am."

"That's so cool that you're here!" Her outburst caught the attention of a few girls. Rebecca eyed them,then Zac. He had a weak smile as the girls ran over to their table,squealing.

"Can you make that milkshake to go?"he whispered.

"Sure thing." The waitress walked away,but the girls didn't. The 3 of them talked all at once. Zac just smiled.

"Who is this?"asked one,pointing to Rebecca.

"This is Rebecca...my girlfriend." His smile widened.

"Oh..."the girls looked close to tears.

"When did you get a girlfriend?"one asked.

"A few months ago."

"Oh,ok. We have to go. We'll watch you on Jay Leno tonight."

"Thanks!" They walked away just as the waitress walked up with the to go milkshake. Zac paid,and they walked out.

"That was THE funniest thing i have ever seen!"Rebecca laughed.

"Those girls were..nevermind."

"When did you get a girlfriend?"she mocked the girls. He smiled side-ways at her.

"Arcade!"he squealed. They ran into the arcade. The day was passed with video games and air hockey. Zac glanced at his watch.

"It's 2,we've been here forever!"

"C'mon let's go to the suite."

"Alrighty." He put his arm around her and they walked to he elevator. Rebecca quickyl pushed the thought of the French elevator out of her head. That had been the absolute worst experience of her whole life,and she didn't wanna think about it ever again. They walked into the suite and sat down to watch TV. The rest of the day passed,and at 5:30 everyone started to get ready.

"Amy should i wear my black leather pants or silver ones?"Rebecca asked.

"Silver. Let Kat wear the black ones. And i'll wear my purple velour pants."

"Ok,sounds good." At 6:50,everyone was ready. As they entered the studio they passed through a big group of excited fans. Zac had his arm around Rebecca's waist,and was holding her tightly and close. The fans grabbed at all of them,even the girls. Rebecca ducked her head into Zac's neck as a girl tried to pull her hair. They entered safely.

"They tried to pull my hair out,"Rebecca yelled.

"You ok?"Zac asked,rubbing her head.

"Yeah,i'm fine." He gave her a soft kiss on the lips,as Rebecca and Zac planted soft kisses on eachother,Diana and Walked came in from the other room.

"Kids! Hello?"Walker shouted. Zac looked at his dad,annoyed.

"We've gotta go meet up with Jay in 10 minutes,that is if you can keep yourselves off of eachother,"Diana continued.

"Funny Mom,really funny. We'll be ready. Bye."His parents walked away and Rebecca walked over and sat on the couch. He sat down and motioned for her to sit in his lap. She did.

"It's been forever since we've done more than just kiss,"he whispered. She didn't answer. Soon,the others all came into the small room and siad they had to go meet up with Jay.

"You guys are really like friends with him?"Katherine asked.

"Uh huh,Jay is my fiend,"Mackie smiled. He was holding a finger painting to give to him. They all shook hands with him,and then for the rest of the time left,hung around getting ready for the interview. The guys didn't go on unitl 11:40,so the makeup people didn't swamp them untill about 11.

"We don't want any make up crap!"Zac yelled at some idiot guy trying,very unsuccessfully,to out make up on Zac.

"I'm sorry but i was instructed to do so,"the man said with an accent.

"I don't care what you were told!" Rebecca was in the corner of the room laughing,he really could be a baby. After that,Walker said that they were fine without all the camera makeup. That's what happened everytime. At 11:38 they went to commercial break and the guys went to their instruments then. At exactly 11:40,Jay intoduced them as they started their new single,'Forever'. The song was a beautiful ballad,and Rebecca was quite happy,along with alot of other girls,that Zac finaly got to sing lead on a single.

'When your head spins

When you fall down

When no one seems to care at all

Run to me cuz...

I love you forever

Ever and ever

Untill this world is dust

I'll still be loving you'

Zac's voice filled the room as he sang the chorus perfectly. Rebecca stood on the edge of the stage,Amy was smiling down at her. She knew that the guys had written that song not too long after Rebecca moved,but they never had the heart to sing it. Until now that is,with Rebecca beside them.

'I'll still be loving yooouuu'

They held the last note for a few seconds,then the audience went crazy. They went to commercial break and the guys walked over to take their interview seats.

"Hey guys,how have you been?"Jay Leno started when they were filming again.

"Great! We've been recording,and having a break,"Taylor smiled.

"Cool. Now that was your first release from 'Now and Forever'?"

"Yes,the CD was released today i think,"Zac answered.

"We hope it does as good as Middle of Nowhere,"Isaac chimed in.

"Oh it will. There was a line at Virgin Records and Sam Goody's this morning waiting to get it."

"Cool!"Zac screamed. The crowd went wild at his outburst.

"We dropped him on his head when he was little,"Tay laughed.

"I can see that,"Jay said,"Oh,and i heard that 'Forever',the song you just sang,is dedicated to someone. Is that right?"

"Yeah,yeah. Rebecca,our very close friend moved away when we were really young,and we wrote that after she left,"Ike said,with a serious tone. Rebecca's jaw dropped.

"Here Honey,look at this." Diana smiled as she handed her the lyric insert for the new CD. She opened it and looked above the lyrics to 'Forever'...This song we would like to dedicate to our dear friend,Rebecca. We love you Babydoll. She was too stunned to cry,she just stood there.

"But she's home now,"Zac smiled.

"And i heard that you were really excited about that,and that maybe she wasn't just your friend..huh?" Zac's face turned red,and he couldn't help but smile.

"Well,yeah."

"What does that mean? Are you going out with her or something?" The crowd was panicked,screaming crying,some being too quite.

"Uhm,yeah. I am going with her actualy."

"So you finaly found a girl huh?"

"Finaly,and so did those two." The crowd was totaly silent now,it was scary.

"Let's bring the girls out." Rebecca said a silent prayer that this wasn't gonna make all the girls in the universe hate her. Amy and Katherine sat on the end of the couch,and Rebecca managed to sit in the chair with Zac. The crowd started screaming.

"So,i take it your Rebecca?"Jay asked,pointing to her.

"Yes,I'm Rebecca." She that her face was hot,and she knew that she must be blushing. But when she felt Zac slip his arm around her,she calmed down,and relaxed.

"How does it feel to be Zac Hanson's girlfriend?"

"Hmmm...it's just like having a normal boyfriend,i mean,i've always known him so i never like had this star-studded crush on him or anything."

"And which one of you is Amy? And which one is Katherine?"

"I'm Amy." Amy raised her hand.

"And i understand you go out with Isaac?" The crowd screamed yet again.

"Yes i do."

"And Katherine must be the other beautiful one down there?"

"Yeah,this is Katherine,"Taylor smiled.

"And you are with Tay?"

"Uh huh."

"So girls how does it feel to be going out with the guys that most girls your age dream of?"

"Like Rebecca said,we've known them forever,we're all next door neighbors,so we've never been like screaming fans or anything to them. So that makes it just like going out with anyone else in the neighborhood,"Amy said,rather calmy.

"That's great. Well,i've enjoyed talking to all of you. And here they are everyone...Hanson who just released a new CD,go out an buy it!" With that the show was over,but the fans didn't leave. Along with heavy security,the guys went to the audience to sign autographs. Everyone was asking questions. The autographing only lasted a couple of minutes.

"That crowd is crazy!"Taylor yelled,backstage.

"I know,they were like pulling at my shirt,"Zac complained.

"Well,considering the things the interview revealed. Thank God no one has found out about the baby,"Diana said. You could tell from her voice that she was happy,not only about people not knowing that Amy was pregnant,but she was happy that she was going to be a grandmother. Sure she had been disappointed in her son,but she had expected something like this.

"I know,really. How do you think the interview went?"Amy asked.

"It was awsome,except all of you were blushing the whole time,"Walked laughed.

"I don't blush!"Zac argued.

"You do too,"Rebecca argued back at him.

"Uh uh,no i don't."

"Baby,you do blush,you were blushing before we came out there."

"Man,i should have let them put that stupid makeup on me." They gathered anything that they had brought,and walked to the door with the security. As the door opened you could hear the fans,and see the press.

"Shit,the press has already gotten this,"Ike whispered to Rebeccca. She forced a fake smile. As they pushed through the crowd and to the limo the news reporters were going crazy....Who are these girls? How serious are you with them? Are you sleeping with them? Anything they could think of,they were asking.

"That's a mad house out there!"Amy shouted when they were in the limo.

"I know,those reporters and press are idiots,"Taylor sighed. They reached the hotel,to find the same thing. As they were getting out of the limo,Zac grabbed Rebecca's hand. When they stepped out of the limo,hand-in-hand,he pulled her close to him,and kissed her sweetly on the lips,right in front of the fans,but mostly press and photographers. They all ran inside,and all the way to the suite.

"Zachary Hanson! I cannot beleive you just did that!" You would think it was his mother or father yelling,but it wasn't,it was Rebecca. They were in his room.

"What? Do you not want people to know that i love you?!"

"Zac that's not it! Your fans were standing right there! And for the ones who weren't,that picture will be EVERYWHERE by tommorrow morning!"

"I don't care! If they're true fans then they'll stick by us,no matter what. Rebecca,i love you,and i want people to know it." He wrapped his arms around her.

"Really?"

"Yes really."

"I love you too." She reached up and felt her silver necklace.

"How about we finish what we started earlier?"

"What was that?"

His answer was a kiss,or two.

"Oh,that. Ok." He laid her on the bed and crawled ontop of her. He excitedly unbuttoned her shirt and took it off of her,as she did the same to him. They kissed intensivly,and he started to mess with the side-zipper on her pants. As her pants fell to the floor,and his hands played with her,he became more excited. She moved her hands slowly down him,and then to the buttons on his pants. As she took his pants off,her head was spinning. She knew what he wanted,but she couldn't,not after what happened with Amy. He groaned quietly as she rubbed him.

"Rebecca please?"

"Zac..." She was so confused. More than anything she wanted to make love to him right then and there,but knowing what her friend was going through. "Zac no. I'm not ready,you know that. I'm just not ready."

"I know,i'm sorry." He could tell by her voicec that she was confused,and close to tears. Rolling over to lay beside her,he stroked her face. She looked over at him and smiled.

"I love you Zac."

"I love you too." He planted a kiss on her nose,then threw her her clothes.
