Both concerts were sold out and well received according to the reviews in the papers and reports on ET and mentions by Leno, Letterman, Oprah, Regis and Kathie Lee, Today Show, CBS Morning, and the rest on the following day. Rosie's mention included a phone call to Christopher Sabec who called the Hanson household and ask them to call into the Rosie Show. When Walker explained and asked if interested, the six made their way to the office and dialed up the show, "They tell me they're on the line, Chris Thank You, I'm putting you on speaker phone but if I cut you off I apologize now." Rosie said laughing, "Hello are you guys there, this is Rosie." she answered. "Hello Rosie, I'm Isaac, I'm Taylor, I'm Zac, I'm Mandy, I'm Chele and I'm Jessy. Zac don't do that. Stop hun." Jessy said and giggled. "Zac what is it you're doing or shouldn't I ask." Rosie asked. "Sorry Rosie, I can't resist her charms." Zac teased. "Zac you are full of it. Oh this is Chele." Chele said. "Taylor here, Chele's main man. Zac is putting the moves on Jessy. What else?" Taylor said. "Isaac here. Zac's a goner where Jessy is concerned." Isaac said. "Animal. He's just an animal." Mandy shared. "Isaac again that was my girl Mandy's animal comment Rosie." Isaac added. "Let's see if I have it straight. Isaac loves Mandy and you two go to college together right?" Rosie asked. "Isaac here and you're right on. We start back up in three weeks right babe?" Isaac asked. "Actually dorm assignments in two weeks, classes in three." Mandy added. "Okay next is Taylor and Chele who are seniors but both home schooled and Chele is the dancer. Is that right guys?" Rosie asked. "That's right Rosie. By the way I love your show, you have done so much for today's woman. Thank you for paving the way and making it easier on the rest of us." Chele said. "Taylor here. Chele really is a fan of yours, I don't even get a kiss until commercial breaks." Taylor said. "Couldn't have planned it better, Taylor kiss your woman and we'll be right back and find out about Zac and Jessy." Rosie said going to break and Chris talked with the gang and Walker. "We're back and exciting stuff here. Let's see Christopher Sabec here talking to Walker Hanson and the Hansons and the Younger Years as they are nicknamed. It appears Jessy is wanted everywhere to promote her new album called simply 'Jessy', clever people." Rosie said laughing, continuing, "Now Walker Hanson the Dad biologically of three but Dad to all six, said set them up in the next three weeks before Isaac goes back to school and get this, they're going to do my show first. Yaaaaaa!!" Rosie announced and the audience goes wild. "Sorry guys, I couldn't help overhearing." Rosie teased then continued her explanation, "Last is Zac the drummer who I hear is a goner and puts the moves on his Jessy. Now folks you'll remember the two of them received quite a bit of press earlier, if you remember the rumored Hanson pregnant girlfriend ordeal and into the Mall walks Zac and Jessy because Zac had proposed and Jessy accepted and to prove she's not pregnant she takes a pregnancy test to show she is not pregnant. Now Jessy, girl, you are it. I don't know if I could have handled it so well. You would think the sheer embarassment of being accused of being pregnant would send you screaming, yet, you remained calm and collected and put the press in their place. Right on sister friend." Rosie congratulated. "It really was that big a deal, this is the new millenium where all things are possible. Besides Rosie, I was and am the furthest thing from pregnant, I had nothing to hide and I'm a fan of yours too and I listened to you over the years and I agree with a lot of comments you made about the press. But to be far, in that original group of reporters have come some of our strongest allies and I appreciate them." Jessy explained. "So Zac loves Jessy and they are getting married in November, they're both home schooled supposedly sophomores but a little birdie told me that Jessy has accelerated her schooling, is presently taking college math classes and if she puts her nose to the grindstone she could possible graduate before she becomes Mrs. Zachary Hanson. Is this true Jessy?" Rosie asked. "You have to learn Rosie, don't ever doubt Mom. She's a very special lady in my books. Yes Rosie it's true, I am planning on graduating High School a week before my wedding." Jessy agreed. "Zac here. I'm lucking out, I get to call the honeymoon her graduation present too." Zac teased. "Zac Hanson you buy that girl a gift for graduation. Do you hear me?" Rosie ordered. "Yes Rosie. I already have. Jessy is very determined but so am I, I talked her into marry me this year not in two when she would have graduated." Zac shared. "Sly one Zac. Hanson and the loves of their lives have to go, but you keep watching and I'll tell you when they're coming on. Sometime in the next two week so keep tuned. Be right back." Rosie teased and the six said goodbye and sang 'Boomerang' out to break. Walker and Chris called each other before both of Jessy's families headed out to the lake for the rest of the day before Momma and the boys left the next morning. After lunch, Ash and Nikki showed up and after a game or two of volleyball, Grampa and Walker took Zoe and Mackie fishing and the rest were headed across the lake for a treasure hunt the big kids had planned. As they headed across the lake in tubes, on rafts and some swimming, Momma called to Zac and he returned to shore telling them he'd catch up later. Nick filled in for Zac as the third pirate and the girls took off to dress like natives. Jessy had wanted to be a cannibal and eat the pirates, but the guys insisted they be natives that the pirates take as their personal hand maidens. Ash manned the camera and Nikki helped Ben who dressed in pirate hat, eyepatch, sash and sword, with a stuffed parrot on his shoulder and jug of rum as props to tell the tale of the lost treasure to Avie, Sam, Jessie and Josh and the started their journey with a treasure map. As the party headed into the woods the girls snuck out with a big plywood X they had painted black and placed it on top of where they had buried the chest the day before. Jessy watched as Zac paced terrified by the thoughts running through her mind but returned with the girls to take their spot in the woods. The screams from the girls including Nikki and "Arrgh, Matey" signaled they had made it to the Pirates Den. Pirates Isaac, Taylor and Nick, shang-highed the group to dig for the treasure and carry their plunder. "Get ready any time they should come into the clearing." Chele said, adding, "Sis don't think about it you'll drive yourself crazy besides her come the pirates." As they made their way into the clearing, after a few screams the girls were conquered and served punch in ceramic coconut looking glasses and the all ate fresh fruit. "Here hand maiden carry my bag." Taylor said. "Get real, I should be a cannibal and munching down on you about now." Jessy pouted. "Be away with you wench." Taylor teased. "Sis he called me a wench." Jessy pouted as everyone laughed and Ben quickly added that the was the routine of stand up comedinne Wenchy Woman. "I bet you'd taste good." Jessy teased grabbing her little brother Sam as cannibals appeared from the woods and everyone screamed. Soon they were surrounded by spears and selected Wenchy Woman as their sacrafice. Quickly tied to a board Jessy was hoisted up and carried away. "Go after them, get Jessy back. Who are they we didn't have cannibals in the script." Chele said smacking Taylor in the arm. "Me. Why me?" Taylor asked. "You got the sword, you go get my sister back." Chele screamed. "Here you can have the sword." Taylor said pointing it at her. "That'll be the last thing you point at me. Now go get my sister." Chele warned. "But baby." Taylor whined. "No butt, no kiss, no nothing until you get my sister back." Chele threatened. Soon they banded together to free Jessy and headed out to find the cannibals back at the piled up picnic table throne, offerring Wenchy Woman as a sacrifice to King Zac now with Walker manning a camera. "They better come soon my arms are starting to hurt. Tay's probably too chicken to come." Jessy complained. "Hang on Princess, I think I see them." Grampa said. "Me Essy." Zoe said sitting at Zac's side. "Hey baby girl. My Zac." Jessy said looking at her upside down. "No, no, no me Zac." Zoe teased hugging King Zac as the troups finally made it Taylor and Isaac laughing their butts off. "Turn me aroun here natives and pointing me at that Pirate with the big mouth." Jessy ordered and the cannibals pointed her at Taylor. "Where you been? Probably necking with my sister while they're about to give me to old King what's his name to have his way with me. Now do something about getting me out of here." Jessy ordered as the Pirates pulled guns on the cannibals and the cannibals pulled a cannon on the pirates, water cannon and proceeded to drench everyone until they surrendered. King Zac declared Wenchy Woman his and the rest could have their freedom for a treasure. "Here we have a map for Treasure King Zac. Let us go." Chele said handing him the map, adding, "How much for my sister? I'll trade you for big mouth Pirate here." Chele said grabbing Taylor's arm. "Hey that's not fair." Taylor complained. "Nah. Don't want him. How about you?" Zac asked winking at her. "Hey cannibal man turn me back around to King what's his name. As soon as the cut me loose I'm going fix that twitch in you eye there." Jessy warned. "What twitch?" Zac asked. "It better be a twitch or you in big trouble King boy." Jessy threatened and everyone laughed. "Oh that twitch." Zac said winking at her, finishing, "You find the treasure and return with it and you can have your sister Wenchy Woman. But until you do, can I play with her?" King Zac asked. "I don't know. What do you think Wenchy, I mean sis?" Chele asked. "Look at that face, how could you ask?" Jessy said and everyone looked at Zac who started making faces and everyone laughed. "I see what you mean. Let him have her." Chele ordered and they freed Jessy as they headed off following their map to the X and began digging. Soon they returned with the chest to buy Jessy's freedom, who then informed them King Zac had grown on her and she was staying and invited everyone to a feast as soon as they took apart the throne. They had supper then swam, played volleyball, fished, built sand castles, and ended with a bon fire, singing songs and telling tales. Jessy held a sleeping Zoe while Zac held her, "She definitely looks happy these days." Barbara said gazing at the sight. "It's contagious." Diana said pointing at Chele with Mackie asleep in her lap as Taylor held them. "I can't imagine being married at sixteen but I won't stand in their way. Somehow it just seems so right." Barbara announced as Zac repeated it for Jessy who sushed him, "Zoe's asleep hun. I heard." Jessy whispered as she leaned back to kiss him. They packed up and headed home and after Jessy put Zoe to bed she returned to find out her mother was headed home, deciding to drive at night and she would fly down when needed to sign the marriage license. The family stood around her as she waved goodbye to her family, "Ready to go home Grampa." Jessy asked and he and the girls headed out.
