"Thank you for coming. I'm Jessy and I'm here to help you. If there is anything you need, feel free to ask. If I can't do it, I'll find someone who can." Jessy said over and over as she greeted the performers. Things were going great. Everyone was showing up as promised and the arena was beginning to fill. "I can't believe this is really happening." Jessy said to her cousin Chris. "Believe it kiddo. Jessy you have worked so hard at this, of course it's happening." Chris said patting her on the back before adding, "Mr. Matlin is so impressed with you. Rumor has it that you'll be offered a fulltime position and the company will take care of your education." "What? No Way!!" Jessy squealed in disbelief. "Yep kiddo. You done good." Chris said again as Jessy shook it off and headed to the door to greet the next performer. "Welcome Britney. My name is Jessy. On behalf of SouthWestern Bell, thank you for coming today. If there is anything you need, just let me know." Jessy repeated. "Yeah. You out of my way. Where's someone important." Britney replied rudely making her way past Jessy and heading down the hall. "You'll have to excuse her. She gets a little hard to take before a performance." someone said and Jessy turned to see what she assumed were her dancers. "A little huh?" Jessy teased and they all laughed. "Man you're lucky you still have your head." another added and soon stories were flying as Jessy showed them to their dressing rooms. On her way back to the door to wait for more arrivals, Jessy pulled up her notebook, checked off Britney's name and did a mental review of who had arrived and who was still to come. "Please God. I won't ask for another thing, just help me act normal when I meet them. Please help me not to scream or wet myself." Jessy said looking upward noticing Hanson without a check mark. "Hi I'm Jessy..." Jessy began to say once again. "So you're Jessy. Nice to finally meet you. Seems like we've known each other forever the number of times we've talked. Can't believe we're finally just now meeting. You sure are pretty Jessy." Isaac said taking her hand. "Oh Isaac. You sure are the romantic. Such a sweet thing to say." Jessy replied blushing as he hugged her and kissed her cheek. "Oh I'm so thrilled you came. Hi Zoe, I'm Jessy." Jessy said bending down to her size. "No no no. Jessie." Zoe insisted pointing at her sister. "Yep that's Jessie your sister. I'm Jessy too only with a y." Jessy said. "Jessytoo." Zoe asked. "Sure I'll answer to that. Let me start all over, I'm Jessytoo and on behalf of SouthWestern Bell, thank you all for coming. Mr and Mrs Hanson welcome. I've saved you the largest dressing room hoping that all of you would come. I have seats reserved if any of you would like to enjoy the show?" Jessy greeted. "Really. That's nice of you. Dear interested in seeing the show?" Walker asked. "Did he come? I heard that Billy Joel was supposed to perform. I heard you got him and Elton John to make a cameo. Right off their tour, you got them to stop by. Is it true? How's his voice holding up? He is such a fantastic piano player. The Piano Man, that's what they call him." Diana asked rambling on nervously. "Yes he did, they did and are. His voice is okay I hear. I take it the rest did him a world of good. Would you care to meet him? I truly enjoyed meeting him. You do know he has been writing some classical pieces. Just like his father after all." Jessy offered. "Really? Oh what would I say?" Diana fretted. "Try this. Hi I'm Jessy and I am fan of yours. You guys rock. Thank you for coming, Isaac, Taylor, Zac." Jessy said turning to greet the guys, shaking each hand. As she extended her hand towards Zac, his deep brown eyes penetrated hers searching deeper. As his hand touched hers, shivers raced throughout her body just like electricity would and a warm smile appeared on her face. "Nice to meet you Jessy." Zac said not taking his eyes off of her as he smiled back, adding, "Thanks for inviting us." "If it wasn't for you guys, I never would have given this any thought. This is all because of you guys. It all started at Hanson.net. You guys asked what we'd like to do to change the world. Man at first I did like everyone else. You know the world peace, end hunger... typical answer stuff. But for some reason I wasn't satisfied being like everyone else. I wanted more than a stock answer and started giving it some serious thought. A day or two of some serious soul searching and it hit me. You know the one thing that affects everyone the same way. I decided a sick kid was something everyone had a hard time dealing with. They're so innocent and pure at first, it's hard to hear about and impossible to accept. It was a toss up between 'Make A Wish' and the 'Children's Miracle Network' but along with the impossible to accept concept, I figure "Make A Wish" in a way is accepting so I chose CMN." Jessy explained, rambling on nervously. "We did this?" Zac replied as he grabbed her notebook, looking at the list of performers then teased, "We're good. Real Good!" "Smart Aaa. Ooops I Did It Again! Make that Smarty Pants. You're funny Zac." Jessy replied as she began to laugh. "You're funny too. I like." Zac shared with a chuckle and a soft touch to her hand. "Yeah you told us in your letter when you first invitied us Jessy. We're glad we could help." Isaac reminded stepping between the two. "Like I said this is all because of you guys. When you accepted my suggestion and agreed to perform if I could make this happen, well I blew the big shots away when my presentation included a commitment to perform from Hanson. Thanks again guys." Jessy shared as she showed them to their dressing room before returning to her duties. "All here now." Jessy said crossing off the last performer who had arrived. "Hanson, Billy Joel, Elton John, N'Sync, Britney Spears, 98°, Jessica Simpson, Back Street Boys, Christina Aguillera, Sisqo, Macy Gray and.... Man this is gonna be awesome. Wish I was watching." Jessy said making her way to Billy Joel's room to arrange a meeting with the Hansons. "Jessy. Hey Jessy." she heard and turned to find Justin Timberlake. "Yes Justin. Is there something I can help you with?" Jessy asked. "Oh yeah. You sure are hot." Justin said looking her up and down. His look unnerved Jessy and she immmediately stepped back, "Hot. No I'm not hot. Actually I'm quite comfortable. If you're warm I can adjust the air in your dressing room." Jessy replied hoping he'd take the hint. "You know what I mean." Justin said moving closer, trying to pin her to the wall. "I was hoping I didn't. Justin what about Britney? I didn't hear anything about you two breaking up." Jessy asked. "Oh that. It ain't nothing serious. We have this understanding." Justin said leaning against the wall trying to confine her. "An understanding huh? I don't know if I'm into understandings. I sure don't want any trouble." Jessy said moving in the nick of time. "Ah come on baby." Justin complained as he moved her way again. "Justin you're not listening. That isn't part of my job." Jessy said pushing his hands away. "Come on baby. You know you want me." Justin said moving her into the corner. "Justin please stop." Jessy asked as he moved in once again. "You bitch. He's mine and you damn well know it. Everyone knows it. You leave him alone." Britney screamed as she entered the room. "Gladly. I don't want him it's the other way around." Jessy replied. "Liar. In your dreams." Britney accused. "No way. I definitely do not dream of Justin Timberlake." Jessy insisted. "Admit it. You want him you slut." Britney demanded. "No way. He's all yours. You deserve him." Jessy replied. "Don't listen to her. She was all over me. I told her about us and she just didn't care." Justin said making his way to Britney. "Oh come on now. I saw the whole thing. She did no such thing." Taylor informed entering from an adjoining hallway. "Justin Timberlake you are in so much trouble. You swore this would never happen again." Britney screamed. "He said you two weren't serious and you had an understanding." Taylor shared. "Oh my god. You did see. That's what he said." Jessy gasped suddenly feeling embarassed by the whole ordeal. "Britney baby. Don't listen to them." Justin called out to her as she turned in a huff and made her way to her dressing room with him hot on her heels. "Thanks for speaking up Taylor." Jessy said smiling then looking away. "No problem. What is his problem anyway?" Taylor replied making his way to her side, adding, "I was wondering.." "You wonder? Huh! Didn't take your for a wonderer." Jessy teased. "Ah come on now. Everybody wonders about something at sometime. Heh I ought to write that down." Taylor complained suddenly off in thought. "Uh. Ahhem.. Excuse me Taylor you were wondering what?" Jessy asked noticing the glazed over look in his eyes. "Huh? Oh man sorry. Sometimes I zone when I get an idea. I was wondering huh? Oh yeah. Earlier when we met. Man how do I ask this? He'll hate me if he finds out I butted in. I guess maybe I want to know for me though not him." Taylor rambled on. "Taylor Hanson what are you talking about? He who? Butting in on what? You not him? You are a piece of work. Maybe you ought to write it down next time." Jessy teased, adding, "How do you ask what?" "I'm just gonna ask. Jessy do you like my brother?" Taylor spit out. "What? Yes Taylor, I like your brother. All three of them."Jessy squealed intrigued by the question, hoping he met Zac because Zac wanted to know. "You know what I mean. You know when you met Zac, you two sort of. You know." Taylor moaned at teasing. "Yes Taylor. I like your brother Zac. He makes me laugh. I mean.. Gees it's just I was like so uptight at the thought of meeting you guys you know and he made it okay. Why do you ask?" "Kool." Taylor sighed with a smug look, quickly adding, "I mean.. I told him so Jessy and he goes like Nah she was just being nice. Can you figure?" "He's right I was being nice. You should see me when I'm not." Jessy teased. "Yeah right." Taylor laughed. "I was headed your way when Justin interrupted me. No make disgusted me." Jessy said with a chuckle before continuing, "I talked to Billy Joel and he'd love to meet you guys. You think Mom can handle it?" "You better stay close in case she can't." Taylor teased and they headed to his family. "Well you get your wish Mom. Billy Joel would love to meet us." Taylor announced entering the door, adding, "Jessy came along to make it happen." "That's what I'm here for.. making things happen." Jessy exclaimed following him into the room. "Jessytoo." Zoe squealed. "Zoe." Jessy squealed back bending down opening her arms, sweeping her into them twirling her as they giggled. "She sure likes you." Diana gasped, adding, "She really doesn't warm up to people like this." "I have a way with kids. Momma teases it's because they know I am one." Jessy explained placing Zoe on her hip as she made her way to Diana. "You ready to meet him. He is like so cool to talk to." Jessy exclaimed. "Oh my, what will I wear? What will I say?" Diana fretted.
