"Your Mom is sitting with my Mom and sisters. She told me to come up here." Jessie explained as Jessy pulled her headset off. "Cool. Have a seat. Any hotties back there?" Jessy asked. "Nah. How about up here?" Jessie asked and the two were soon in a deep discussion over hot guys, guys, even jerks and dweebs. "I was like so totally embarassed. Why of all the guys there." Jessy exclaimed sharing the time a dweeb asked her to dance. "Oh you know you couldn't hurt his feelings." Jessie suggested. "I guess you're right but it was so embarassing." Jessy moaned pulling out her candy stash and sharing. "I wish I went to school. At least you've been to a dance." Jessie complained. "Don't go to school? Home schooled I bet. Oh I have begged for years. I guess I'm glad though. You know I wouldn't be here right now if I hadn't gone to public school." Jessy shared. "How did public school put you in first class headed to LA?" Jessie asked. After explaining, "So you want to come with me? Got to be a hottie or two on campus. Don't you think?" Jessy asked. "That'd be so cool. I'm so glad Zoe toddled off now. Your Mom had my Mom in stiches and I think she forget all about punishing me." Jessie exclaimed. "Momma's good at that." Jessy said staring. "What you staring at? Do I have candy stuck on my teeth?" Jessie asked. "No. I'm sorry. It's just... For a minute there I thought I knew you or something. Man it's your eyes, I know your eyes..." Jessy explained staring again. "Oh oh." Jessie gasped. "What do you mean oh oh?" Jessy asked. "Your Mom was going to threaten you about not screaming before we got to this. Maybe I better go." Jessie said turning away, looking at the back. "What? Me scream? Why? Oh no. Zoe. Jessie." Jessy said her eyes getting big. "Please don't scream. I'll be in trouble all over if you scream." Jessie pleaded. "Jessica Grace?" Jessy whispered. "Uh huh." Jessie answered shaking her head yes. "Oh my God." Jessy gasped placing her hands over her mouth muffling the scream as she stomped her feet. "Is it okay? I mean are you okay? Jessy don't let it change things okay? I really like you." Jessie asked. "No wonder you're so cool. This is so awesome. I know you." Jessy whispered. "Yeah cool and I know you too now." Jessie replied and the two were in deep conversation again. "Momma you'll never guess." Jessy squealed as her mother approached. "Hanson is on the plane." Barbara answered. "Oh you guessed." Jessy replied rolling her eyes and laughing. "You seem to be handling this well." Barbara exclaimed at her laughter. "Oh Momma Jessie is swell. We're having a blast." Jessy explained. "Well good. I was coming to tell what you already figured out and let you know that I offered them a ride since a limo is picking us up and their van is at home." Barbara shared. "Hey you lied. I asked if there were any hotties back there and you said no. Now your brother is a hottie." Jessy exclaimed turning back to Jessie. "My brothers! Not!" Jessie squealed. "Way!" Jessy squealed. "Way Not" Jessie insisted and the two laughed. "Where's Zoe?" Jessy asked. "Diana. Diana. She figured it out and didn't scream. Come on." Barbara said waving Diana in, adding, "Since you handled this so well... Diana and I are going to sit first class and you can go help Jessie watch the younger ones." "Okay I guess." Jessy replied. "Oh come on this is better than any other punishment I've gotten." Jessie whispered. "Oh yeah. Let's split then." Jessy said meeting Diana Hanson before they headed to the back. "Me Essy." Zoe squealed. "Down Zoe. What you squealing about." Zac complained to her squealing and jumping in his lap. "I've never seen her so happy to see her sister." Taylor added as Zoe slipped from Zac's lap and toddled down the aisle. "Zoe." Jessy squealed racing to her and sweeping her in her arms, adding, "I missed you." "Daddy this is my friend Jessy." Jessie introduced. "Mr Hanson it's nice to meet you. I adore your daughter. Make that daughters." Jessy said extending her hand before nodding at Jessie and kissing Zoe. "It seems mutual." Walker exclaimed watching Zoe hug and kiss Jessy. "Whoa. Who's the major babe holding Zoe, talking to Dad?" Isaac asked. "Where?" Zac and Taylor asked in unison. "Man why can't you do that we you need to? All we have to do is say 'We're Hanson' in unison but no.." Isaac complained. "In the aisle by Dad. From the backside she's a knockout. Too old for you, she's mine." Taylor exclaimed staring at Jessy. "What you mean yours? You can't tell looking at her butt. Nice butt though." Zac complained zoning out staring at Jessy's butt. "You two are embarassing. Zac you're drooling. Taylor your fly's open." Isaac teased receiving no response, nudging Taylor, "She seems to be your sisters not yours." "What? Huh?" Taylor asked looking at Isaac briefly before turning back, adding, "Where'd she go?" "She's sitting with the girls." Zac said his eyes still glued on them, adding, "I think she's my age." "No way. She looked more my age." Taylor argued as he rose and stepped over Zac and headed her way. "Where's he going? Who does he think he is? Why does he always do this?" Zac mumbled grabbing his backpack from the overhead, retrieving his CD player before sitting back down and plugging in. "Don't just give up Zac. If you like her go for it." Isaac insisted. "Yeah right. Like she'd see me over him, Mr Perfect." Zac grumbled turning up the volume and turning his back to Isaac. He watched as Taylor used Zoe to get Jessy's attention. When Taylor convinced Jessie to trade seats, Zac fumed, "Why? Everytime I like somebody he moves in on her." he mumbled. "Now you know how I feel. Everytime I make a friend it's either she was using me to get to one of you or you guys hit on her. Just once..." Jessie grumbled. "I'm sorry sis. I guess it's the pits being our sister." Zac said taking off his headset and offering it to her. "Really. Man Zac you never share. Thanks." Jessie replied reaching for his CD player. "I'm really sorry sis. I guess we forget how hard this is on you guys." Zac expressed as she took the player. "Okay what do you want? You have to want something. You're being nice to me." Jessie exclaimed. "Nothing. Just thanks for putting up with all this is all." Zac repeated. "Me too Jessie. I know it can't be easy making friends with all our travelling. We love you, you know that." Isaac shared. "Now you want something too huh?" Jessie teased and the three laughed. They were having so much fun Jessy turned to smile. "So you play volleyball huh?" Taylor asked. "Huh? Sorry Tay I didn't get the question, I was..." Jessy apologized turning back. "I said.. Never mind. You ever been to LA before Jessy?" Taylor asked. "No. I haven't traveled alot. This is kind of exciting." Jessy answered. "Yeah at first it was. Maybe I can show you around when we get there?" Taylor asked leaning her way. "There he goes, moving in for the kill." Zac grumbled. "Zac I told you if you like her go let her know. Don't just give in to him. Stand up for yourself." Isaac insisted. "Who knows, maybe you're the hottie." Jessie shared. "What?" Zac asked. "She told me my brother was a definite hottie but didn't tell me which one. She didn't say brothers, she said brother when she figured out who I was." Jessie explained. "She's a fan?" Zac asked. "Yeah she is. Her Mom was worried she'd scream when she found out and was going to threaten her but she did okay." Jessie shared. "Well she didn't scream when Taylor moved in on her now. Did she?" Isaac hinted. "Nope she didn't. Ike's is definitely too old. I think she's your age." Jessie added. "My age? I thought so." Zac replied staring at Jessy again only to find Taylor still trying to move in closer. "Um Tay excuse me a minute." Jessy said rising and moving past him into the aisle with Zoe still in her arms. "Hey Mackie. Sweetie do you think you could change seats with me so I can talk to your Daddy a minute?" Jessy asked when she approached them. "Go ahead son. Go sit next to Taylor for me." Walker suggested. "Will you talk to me next?" Mackie asked. "Wow you want to talk to me? Cool. Yeah, when I'm done talking to your Dad, I want to talk to you." Jessy answered bringing a big smile to his face as he headed across the aisle. "That was sweet of you. Zoe why don't you give her a break and sit with me." Walker asked. "No Daddy me Essy." Zoe insisted hugging Jessy tighter. "It's okay Mr H. I adore her. She's so cool." Jessy said taking the seat next to him, placing Zoe in her lap and pulling her necklace out for Zoe to see, knowing she'd be fascinated with it. "That should keep her happy. Mr H I was wondering if I could ask you your opinion on something. You know I think you've done a great job with the guys, I mean the band. And you've done such a fanastic job as a Dad, it's just.. I really respect your opinion and I love to know what you think." Jessy explained. "That's such a nice thing to say. I'd love to help sweetie." Walker replied as Jessy shared the offers she'd received. "It's just so overwhelming. I'm not sure if it's really what I want. You Know." Jessy finished and the two were soon in deep conversation. "Man she gets along with Dad real good." Isaac mentioned. "Yep." Zac mumbled not taking his eyes off her. "She's fun to talk to. You should try Zac." Jessie suggested. "Nah. She probably wouldn't like me." Zac mumbled. "You're pathetic." Jessie squealed stepping over him and heading up the aisle.
