"Hello." Naomi scratched out answering the phone, moaning as she read the clock 6am. "Morning Babe." Isaac exclaimed. "What's wrong?" Naomi asked as she woke suddenly. "Nothing Babe. I just miss you is all." Isaac answered. "Nothing is wrong and you call me at 6am. Believe me something is wrong. Oh no I'm awake now. Isaac I love you but why are you calling this early." Naomi pouted "I guess you're just lucky. I'm wide awake here. Zoe's tired of playing with me and all she can say is Nomi here, so I decided it was time to call you. Talk to her a minute." Isaac said holding the phone to Zoe's ear. He watched as her face lit up and she squealed with joy. "Mommy. Mommy." Zoe screamed as she toddled off. "Wow you just made her day. How about mine?" Isaac teased. "Make your day huh?" Naomi asked. "Yeah I deserve it." Isaac insisted. "Okay close your eyes and listen, don't interrupt. Isaac you know how much I love. I love you so much that even though I'm thousands of miles away from you, last night, well, last night after the latest run in with the press, I was scared of what they'd ask next. I didn't want the girls to see so I headed for a shower. Well first what do I do, I cry like a baby and I thought I'd never stop but I did. I stopped when I thought of you. I envisioned you walking into my shower, wrapping me in your arms the way you do, making me feel so safe. You know in your arms I could handle the worst of news. Well anyway, I wasn't scared anymore in your arms and you looked down at me the way you do, you know you're always liftng my face up to yours. Isaac I imagined you kissing me and whoa was it good. One of those that race through my whole body, even curls my toes. My whole body came alive from that kiss. I wasn't crying when I opened my eyes. Sad you weren't in my shower, but I had managed to pull myself back together. So what did that do for you?" Naomi asked and Isaac moaned, "God I miss you. When are you coming home?" "Oh Isaac you won't believe what the hotel arranged. Appointments at Jose Eber's for the three of us. That's like next to impossible, you have to call at least a year in advance to get in there. Isaac I want to go." Naomi explained. "Sure babe, you should go. The girls will love it." Isaac shared not letting his disappointment show. Naomi picked up on it though, "You'll die when you see what I've bought for you." she teased. "You bought me something huh?" Isaac asked perking up. "Oh we've been busy buying you lots of somethings. You are going to be so happy when you get your presents." Naomi teased. "What? Tell me?" Isaac pleaded. "To be honest it's something for both of us." Naomi explained. "What? Hey you said you bought me something." Isaac pouted. "You will definitely enjoy it, even if I get it first." Naomi teased. "What? You are a tease Naomi Merchant." Isaac complained becoming quiet. "Hun don't get mad. Isaac. Are you there?" Naomi asked. "I got it. I sure hope they're lacy, no silky, no lacy. Did you get me any silky lacy ones?" Isaac asked. "You butt. You guessed. Isaac Hanson how did you do that?" Naomi pouted. "I read you like a book baby." Isaac teased. "Yeah I guess you do." Naomi admitted. "What? You agree." Isaac replied totally shocked. "You sound surprised?" Naomi asked. "That you'd admit it yeah." Isaac answered. "I'm not always stubborn Isaac. Just most of the time." Naomi said, quickly adding, "I can't believe I said that. Admitted that. What have you done to me?" "I know what I'd like to do to you." Isaac whispered. "I can't take this Isaac. Stop please. I miss you enough as it is." Naomi pouted. "Sorry babe. I miss you too. We'll be together soon enough." Isaac shared. "No we won't." Naomi complained, adding. "Maybe we'll just come home." "Naomi Merchant stop this. Go have a good time please for me." Isaac asked, adding, "You know you'd do anything for me.' "Oh my God you are so full of yourself. Isaac you go take a shower, you're so spoiled you stink." Naomi teased. "That's my girl. Babe you have a good time. Call me when you get back. I love you." Isaac said as Naomi headed to wake the girls for their make over. They were so excited that in a matter of no time, the three had showered, dressed and were down waiting for the limo. "Excuse me Miss Jessy? There is a call for you. You may take it on the blue phone over there." the front desk informed. "Excuse me Miss Chele, I have a call for you now. The courtesy phone right next to you." the front desk shared. " Hello." Chele answered. "Hey Chele it's me Taylor." Taylor said. "Hey Tay. Did you hear, we're headed to Jose Eber's!" Chele shared excitedly. "Yeah babe, that's sort of why I'm calling and now that I have, I feel majorly stupid." Taylor shared. "Jordan Taylor Hanson feeling stupid. This you must explain. Please?" Chele asked. "You know Isaac just shared you girls' plan for the day. Chele you know what I said?" Taylor asked. "No Tay, what?" Chele asked riveted to his every word. "I said "She doesn't need to go, she's perfect the way she is." Taylor answered, adding, "Chele I think you're so beautiful and I can't imagine what they would do for you." "Oh Taylor that's about the sweetest thing.ever. I love yo.... I mean, I, I , I .. can't believe I said that." Chele said getting quiet. "Chele I'm glad." Taylor whispered. "You're glad?" Chele asked. "I'm glad because that's how I feel but I've been afraid to say so. Afraid you'll think I was crazy. You know we did just meet but I've known you forever." Taylor answered. "Now I'm confused." Chele shared. "All my life I've been looking for someone special. Someone who could make me laugh. A nice soul caring about others even mre than herself. Smarter than me but doesn't let me know it because she makes me feel so important. You're that girl, my someone special." Taylor confessed. "Oh Taylor that about the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me." Chele gasped. "Babe I didn't say it to make you cry. Please don't cry baby." Taylor whispered. "I'm not." Chele whimpered. "That's my girl." Taylor said. "Can I be?" Chele asked with a sniffle at the end. "You already are? DIdn't you hear the reporters." Taylor teased. "Oh that's right, I am." Chele agreed and the two talked a few minutes more before Chele explained the limo was here. "Sis you won't believe it?" Jessy and Chele asked in unison. "Tay loves me." Chele blurted out and all three girls screamed. "My call was Zac and he said not to change a thing I was perfect and he loved me." Jessy shared and the three jumped for joy. "Excuse me Miss Merchant a call for you. I'll put it in right there." the front desk informed her. "What you want to bet, it's Isaac telling me to get overhauled." Naomi teased picking up the phone. "Hello" she answered. "Naomi it's Chris Sabec. Isaac told me how to get in touch with you." Chris said. "Hi Chris. What can I do for you?" Naomi asked trying not to laugh over her Isaac comment. "Actually I was wondering if the three of you would like to go to Planet Hollywood tonight, my treat." Chris asked and Naomi relayed the message. "In LA?" Jessy asked. "Yes Jessy." Naomi answered. "Yes." Jessy answered. "I'm game." Chele said. "Well they'd love to, so I say yes we'd love to Chris." Naomi answered. "That's great. Now an offer from Seventeen Magazine, they'd love to follow you to the salon for the make over, provide the new wardrobe and do a two page article on Hanson's loves." Chris asked and Naomi relayed the message. "We'd love to Chris. I'm assuming you ran this past the guys' dad?" Naomi asked. "Actually sweetie it was Walker's suggestion. He is so happy the way things have turned out, your marrying Isaac, Chele and Tay, and Zac and Jessy." Chris explained. "Then set it up Chris. You know we're happy the way things turned out too." Naomi shared. Chris put her on hold to arrange for the interview. "You work fast. Two Seventeen reporters just introduced themselves." Naomi shared names to verify wit Chris before they said their goodbyes and the girls posed for a few shots, chatted with the reporters, answering their questions before heading to the limo. They were greeted by the owner himself, "Lovely, simply lovely but when we're finished, we'll make sure everyone turns their head and takes notice." Jose shared as he introduced the staff and the process began with a "Before" picture with Jose taken then the girls were whisked away and dressed in robes and slippers. Their day began with full body massages, relaxing them for the adventure ahead. They took mud baths, had facials, leg waxing, pedicures, manicures, and even lunch before they ever reach the stylists who had been watching the girls off and on all morning trying to envision their style. It was decided that long hair was in and the trimming and shaping began. "You sure you don't want to be blonde too." The stylist asked Naomi. "I'd never considered it, changing the color." Naomi answered and it was decided to add blonde highlights. The three were under dryers with cucumber slices over their eyes, "I can't believe you took that picture." Naomi complained. "Can't be as bad as the ones of us in the mud baths." Chele shared. "Or the one of my ugly green facial, grrrreeennn, yuck!!! It's a good thing Zac loves me already, when he sees that picture, I wouldn't have a chance he'd been running and screaming." Jessy insisted. "You! They took a picture of my foot. You know with the spacers in it spreading the toes. Real Ugly!" Chele shared. "Hmmm, excuse me for complaining about taking the picture, I had no idea you had spared me. Thank you." Naomi apologized. "No problem. Your fiance got me this gig. We met years back and even though he was a kid, we'd gotten along real well and he said he'd help me all he could. I was just starting out and you know he came through for me." the photographer said. "Thanks for sharing. I knew he was special but thought maybe it was just me. He spoils me so." Naomi explained. "Now that doesn't surprise me. You know he was young, maybe not even a teenager when we met in Tulsa and you know he was looking for you then. I remember thinking he isn't old enough to date yet but he's looking for his dream girl, his soul mate already." he shared. "I've heard that alot, how he's looked for me forever. It makes it even more special that we have found each other." Naomi said with a smile of contentment. "Wow I'd love to get a shot of the two of you if just talking about him makes you look this good." he insisted. "I'll tell him. Does he know how to reach you?" she asked. "Yep I'll ask him when we talk later. I'm sure he's just checking up on you." he teased. " Oh Isaac. Can you tell him I'm fine, just fine please? He's just so worried. You do know what happened?" Naomi asked. "Yes and I'm so sorry. Sick people everywhere." he replied. "Well my body has healed but it's not so easy for Isaac. He.... " Naomi stopped fighting back the tears. "It's okay Sis. As you can imagine, Isaac feels personally responsible for that sicko's actions. We all know it isn't true and tell him constantly but he still feels it's his fault." Chele finsished as she patted Naomi's hand. "Please if you talk to him, tell him I'm fine." Naomi said with a sniffle, adding, "Even when I had my massage this morning, I wasn't sore anymore." The girls headed to wardrobe next and had a blast looking freaky, sexy, hot, like a Valley girl. They decided on the hot look, dressing in leather Jessy and Chele on skirts. Jessy with a bodice and Chele with a tube top. Naomi wore pants, tight fitting pants. with a tube top like Chele. Next came makeup and then back to the stylists. Jose was smiling from ear to ear in the "After" shot as their limo arrived to take them to Planet Hollywood. The girls were floating on cloud nine by the time they arrived and shocked to find reporters. "Must be for someone else. Wonder who's here?" Naomi asked. "Hanson. Aaaahhh." Jessy screamed. "No they're in Tulsa you idiot." Chele teased. "Then it can't be anybody important." Jessy replied. As they stepped from the limo the questions started, "Are you all Hanson sweethearts? Which Hanson are you going with?" the reporters asked. "Umm I'm engaged to Isaac." Naomi said raising her left hand. "I'm her younger sister and I'm thrilled she's marrying Isaac. So is Zac." Jessy shared wrapping an arm around Naomi's shoulder kissing her cheek. "I'm the middle sister and I'm elated she and Isaac found each other. So is Taylor." Chele said wrapping an arm around Naomi's waist and the three smiled for pictures and answered a few more questions before they made their way inside to even more attention "Who do they think they are?" Britney asked as reporters left her for the girls. "Jessy are you going to marry Zac?" a reporter asked. "He hasn't asked yet, we've just talked about it." Jessy answered confidently. "If he did ask?" the reporter asked. "Do you know something I don't?" Jessy asked getting in the reporters face embarassing him. "No I haven't talked to him." the reporter said and then apologized for getting her hopes up as everyone laughed. "Who are you?" Britney asked as she approached. "They're Hanson's girlfriends." a reporter told her. "Whoopie." Britney replied turning her back to the girls, adding, "They're nobody then right." "Excuse me I didn't hear you." Jessy said stepping around her facing her, extendng her hand, "I'm Jessy." Britney just stared. "Are you all right?" Jessy asked. "Who are you?" Britney asked. "Someone you feel you can talk down to but I want you to know that you're wrong." Jessy said glaring at her, adding, "If you haven't got anything nice to say, t's best to say nothing at all." Britney came unglued, "You think you're better than me. You're a nobody. You may be going with someone important but you're nobody. I'm somebody."she screamed. "But why are you proud of it. I'd be ashamed of myself if I behaved like you are." Jessy said. "You bitch. You are not better than me. I'll show you I'm somebody." Britney said storming off and soon it was announced she would perform her latest release 'From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart'. "See I'm somebody." Britney said getting in Jessy's face. "Yeah somebody who can barely sing that had her boobs done to attract away from that fact." Jessy said getting angry at her rudeness. "It's okay Sis. Remember the other night when we were goofing around?" Chele asked. "Great idea Sis. Britney can we have your permission to do one of your songs." Naomi asked. "What? You do what? I don't care." Britney said and the three headed to the stage. After speaking with the stage manager, the three were fitted with head mics. They gathered in a circle going over things as Jessy knelt down, "It worked for Zac." Jessy laughed and the girls then headed to the stage and the announcer introduced them and 'Baby Hit Me One More Time'. If their voices weren't enough to get everyone's attention as the three started dancing, the entire restaurant were on their feet cheering them on. As they finished the number, "You heard them here first folks, umm, umm, Hanson's Girlfriends, I guess we'll call them." the stage manager announced as the reporters surrounded the stage, snapping pictures and asking questions, "Do your boyfriends know you guys rock?" "I'll answer that, No idea. You girls are good." Isaac answered. "Isaac." Naomi squealed looking around the room, beaming as their eyes met. "Hey babe." Taylor said loudly. "Taylor you're here." Chele answered smiling at him. "You look great babe." Zac hollered over the crowds. "Thanks Zac." Jessy answered then glared at Britney, "And I didn't need a plastic surgeon to look this way." she whispere loud enough for her to hear. Security escorted Hanson to the stage and their girlfriends as the applause started again. One by one they made their way to the right girl, kissing and wrapping an arm around her. "Girls I'd like to represent you." a man said handing a business card and his extended hand towards Naomi. "I'm sorry, we're already represented." Naomi shared puzzling Isaac, Taylor and Zac, who stared at each other. "He's done a great job for us so far. Wouldn't you agree girls." Chele added. "Most definitely." Naomi replied. "I wouldn't put it past him to have set up the Britney Spear angle." Jessy shared . "Ohhhh he is good." Chele squealed. "May I ask who?" the man said. "The man who arranged for our photo shoot, interview, and appearance here tonight." Naomi answered. "That would be Chris Sabec." the stage manager announced, adding, "He also arranged this, now appearing, singing their all time favorite from the latest album 'This Time Around' the single release by the same title. Ladies and Gentlemen, Planet Hollywood, LA, proudly presents Hanson." The guys took their places as the girls took security's help to make it to their table where they listened to the guys perform. "I guess I hadn't tried this part out. I've never waited on Isaac's career before, we met because of my skating. This is diffrent." Naomi shared. "Yeah this is different to say the least. I know they want him. Man that was me." Chele said nodding at the girl screaming "Taylor I love you." "So and now he screams Chele I love you." Jessy shared. "He does not. He screams Chele I love you too." Chele teased. "What was with that Britney. Have you ever known anyone to be so rude." Jessy asked. "She was stinky right from the start." Naomi added. "Excuse me girls but stinky?" a reporter asked. "Yeah stinky, you know, spoiled rotten." Jessy explained putting her fingers on her nose as they all laughed. "Just so you know, she was pissed because you took the attention away from her. "That's pathetic." Chele said loudly without thinking. "What is babe?" Taylor asked as he slipped in the chair next to her. Chele explained all that had gone on, "So that's what my little spitfire was upset about. She should apologize." Zac shared wrapping Jessy in his arms. "She was nasty Zac, acting like you guys were nobodies. I wanted to deck her." Jessy confessed. "I think she wishes you had just hit her and got it over." Isaac said. "Hun I'm really hungry, can we order?" Naomi whispered. "Sure babe." Isaac answered getting the attention of their waitress and everyone ordered. "Who's is it?" Taylor asked of the ringing phone. 'Mine." Naomi answered. "Mine." Isaac answered. "Hello." they both said. "Hey Daddy." Naomi answered recognizing his voice. "Hey sweetie. Umm you were suppose to get a surprise tonight, did you?" Walker asked. "No Daddy we didn't get a surprise unless you mean the guys showed up without a word, like totally blew us away.." Naomi answered. "That would be the surprise." Walker replied. "I think they surprised us more." Zac screamed towards her phone. "What is Zac yelling about?" Walker asked. "Umm when the guys arrived, we had just finished singing and dancing." Naomi explained. "You sing and dance?" Walker asked. "Tonight we did but she made us mad." Naomi answered. "She who?" Walker asked. "Britney Spears. Daddy she was rude and nasty to us and we didn't deserve it. So we sort of put her in her place. We sort of told her she couldn't sing and then showed her how it should be done. Wiped the smile right off that smug little face." Naomi shared giggling. "Won't stand for being treated poorly. I'm proud of you girls." Walker said. "Daddy umm I sort of told this one guy that Chris represented us becuase he had arranged for that magazine interview and stuff. Is that okay Daddy?" Naomi asked. "I'm sure it's okay but I'll call him and tell him." Walker shared. "You will? That'd be great. I don't want Chris to read about and go I am?" Naomi shared as Isaac got her attention. "Babe I'm talking to Chris, he already heard that's why he called." Isaac shared. "Oh Daddy, Chris knows he called Isaac." Naomi repeated. "Good, well mother and I just wanted to make sure the boys found you." Walker explained. "They did, we're about to have dinner and then I guess we'll head home. I'm not to keen on this LA scene." Naomi shared. "Me neither." Jessy said leaning over Zac towards Naomi. "Did you hear Jessy?" she asked. "Yes. You tell her we can't wait until she gets back either. One of you call us and let us know when to expect you." Walker explained and they ended the call as dinner was served. Over dinner they all agreed, going home was what they wanted and after dinner, they headed to the girls hotel suite to pack while Isaac arranged for the jet ride home. "Dad calling to tell you that we'll be home in about three hours." Isaac shared. "Okay son, meet you at the airport." Walker said and the six made their way to the airport and Tulsa.
