Seated on American Airline flight to New York.
******************************************************************************
Taylor:
To much time and not enough to do.......No that’s not what I meant, well you know.
The plane takes off in four minutes and 32 seconds and I can’t find my notes.
Ike:
Hey man don’t sweat it your gonna work your self up for nothing.
Zac:
Oh what’s a matter Taybaby, you gonna cry? (Joking with his older brother)
Taylor:
Shut up fart knocker.
Walker:

Taylor:
(Takes long deep breath) Oh thanks a lot dad.
Ike:
See I told you it was for nothing.
******************************************************************************
The plane lifts off and the Hanson family is on their way to New York.
******************************************************************************
Zac:
Oh man I am feeling air sick. Hey where the heck is my brown paper bag people?
Diana:

Zac:
Mom I need a barf bag.
Jessica:
Here take mine puke boy.
Zac:
Oh nice, I can feel the love on this plane.
Ike:
He does this every trip. (Looking around the plane not at anyone in particular)
Taylor:
Oh now who looks like the chump. (Laughing at Zac, whose head was shoved in a paper bag)
Walker:
Ok boys cut it out.
******************************************************************************
3 hours later their flight lands in New York
******************************************************************************
Walker:
Ok everybody let’s go get our bags and then we can head to the hotel.
Ike:
Oh man look at that! (Pointing to a group of fans)
Taylor:
Wow! how did they know we were gonna be here?
Zac:
They know where were gonna be before we do.
Ike:
Gotta love the their devotion
Taylor:
Oh we love them alright. (Trying to speak over the countless scream of “Taylor I love you”, “Ike will you marry me”, “Zac I ‘m having your baby”)
(Walker and Diana decided to walk ahead to draw some of the attention from their sons)
Taylor:
Hey look over there guys, now that’s something you don’t see everyday. (Pointing to a dark corner near the window in the airport)
Ike:
Hey, wake up are you ok? (Shaking the girl)
Zac:
She looks kinda pale, maybe she’s sick.
Taylor:
Here see if she’ll drink some of this. (Handing Ike his water bottle)
Ike:
Here, try and sit up and drink something.
The Girl:
Where am I?
Zac:
Well your not in Kansas anymore. Try the New York Airport.
The Girl:
Oh my god! This is not happening. I have been sitting here since around 6am just minding my own business, I had no money so I haven’t eaten all day so I was just gonna sit here wait for Hanson to show up, take a few photos and go home.
The Girl:
(Looking up at the three boys standing over her) Hey wait a second, your them.
Taylor:
(Smiling at the girl) Yeah were them.
The Girl:
Oh my god I am such a fool. I have totally embarrassed myself and you probably think of me as some kinda freak.
Zac:
Sure we don’t.
Ike:
Well do you have a name?(helping the girl to her feet)
The Girl:
Oh yes, sorry bout that. My name is Cathleen. Cathleen Cole.(holding out her had to shake Ikes hand)
Taylor:
Well Ms. Cole, you seem a lot better than when we found you, but since you do not have any money and you have not eaten anything today, we insist that you come with us and grab a bite to eat.
Ike:
Yeah were going to the hotel and get some food your more than welcome to come with us.
Zac:
As long as you don’t mind walking through that monster crowd. (Pointing to the crowd of fans near their parents)
Cathleen:
Are you guys sure I don’t want to intrude on your time?
ITZ:
Yes were sure.
******************************************************************************
The Hanson Family and their new friend Cathleen were escorted out of the airport to their awaiting transportation, headed to their hotel.
******************************************************************************
Diana:
So where are you from Cathleen?
Cathleen:
I live here in New York Mrs. Hanson. My parents had said I could go to the airport to watch the plane come in and take a few pictures. My dad dropped me off on his way to work this morning and I was so excited I forgot to get some money from him.
Diana:
Your parents must be really worried. It’s almost 7pm. When we get to the hotel why don’t you call them and tell them where you are.
Ike:
(Leaning over to Cathleen)That’s a mom for ya always worrying.
Cathleen:
Tell me about it. (Thinking about how mad her mom will be)
Taylor:
So what grade are you in and how old are you?
Cathleen:
Well I am 14 ½, I am in eighth grade. I think this is so nice of you guys to help me out.
Taylor:
We were always taught to help someone in need.
******************************************************************************
The Hanson Family arrives at the hotel and begin entering the lobby of the hotel.
***************************************************************************
Crowd:
“Oh my god, their here” screamed one girl. “I love you Taylor” a voice from a girl wedged in the back of the lobby called out.
Taylor:
(To Cathleen) Just smile and wave. Try to head for the elevators.
Hotel
Manager:
Ok girls please let the family through.(trying to make a path for the Hanson family to get into the elevator)
A girl:
Hey who are you?(grabbing Cathleen’s arm)
Taylor:
(Pulling Cathleen’s arm out of the fans hand) She is with us.
Cathleen:
Wow! That sure was crazy.(Entering the elevator) thank you for helping me out back there Taylor.
Taylor:
No problem. The fans sometimes get really pushy, they mean well but some take it a little to far.
Ike:
This is mild compared to what we normally go through.
Zac:
(Turning his head) See this bald spot? Some crazy girl ripped out my hair.
Walker:
Well you boys go drop off your stuff and head to our room so we can plan for dinner. (Letting Ike, Tay, Zac and Cathleen off on the 11th floor)
Ike:
(Looking for their room number) Hey I found it down here.
Zac:
(Running down to where Ike is) Hey cool man open the door.
*****************************************************************************
After fighting over who got which bed and putting their bags away they were off to get some food
*****************************************************************************
Ike:
Hey Cathleen, you didn’t call your parents yet.
Cathleen:
Oh my god, my mom is gonna flip out.
Ike:
(Handing her his cellphone)Here call her now.
Cathleen:
(Dialing her number)Hi mom, yeah I’m ok. Guess what? Guess who I’m standing in an elevator with? No mom, Hanson. Yup. Ok hang on let me ask them.

Zac:

Taylor:

Cathleen:
