Chapter 15: Parting and a Video Camera Prank


"Oh my gosh Aug, he's hot!!"
"Yes, I know"
"So, you think you could hook me up?"
"Julie!!!"
"What!? It was an innocent question!"

August and Julie were sitting on August's bed, talking long into the night like they had always done.

"Do you like him?"
"Well....."
"Don't lie August, I can tell you do."
"Ok, fine, yes, I do. But he doesn't like me, in fact, he hates me"
"Why do you think that?"
"Just how he's being acting towards me lately. He totally bit my head off the other day."

-----------------------------

"Tay? You awake?"
"No Isaac, I'm not awake, yet I'm talking to you" he replied, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Oh, Ok" said Isaac, unfazed by the sarcasm
"Why were you being so rude to August, as well as me earlier?"
"Can we please not talk about it?"
"No. I want to know."
"Why"
"Because. I have a right to know"
"Fine.......Ididn'tlikeitwhenyouandAugustcameoutofthemallholdinghandsandIthoughtshemightlikeyoumorethanme.Sheprobablyhatesmenow."
"Whoa Tay, slow down! Try that again. This time, use sentences"
"Sorry. I said, I didn't like it when you and August came out of the mall holding hands, and I thought she liked you more than me. And she probably hats me now"
"Oh"

Isaac laid back on his bed and stared att he ceiling. Taylor did the same, except he was staring at the bottom of Isaac's bed instead of the ceiling.

"Tay?"
"What Zac?" replied Taylor
"You know, earlier when you radioed out to the tree house?"
"Yea, so?"
"August was up there with me"
"What?!"
"You heard me. She came up there crying Tay. She told me that you hated her. She said she likes you, but nothing'll come of it because you hate her so much."
"Oh man."


The rest of the week passed, Taylor and August never revealed anything to each other. Friday soon came, and it was time for Julie to fly back home. Diana took August, Julie, Zac, Taylor and Isaac to the airport.

"Flight 889 to Chicago is now boarding"

"Well, that's me. This week has been awesome August. I'm going to miss you so much!"

With that, both girls broke down into tears. They shared a teary embrace before Julie pulled away to board the plane. Once she reached the tunnel, Julie grabbed her necklace and held it in her palm. August did the same. It was a Friends Forever necklace that August had given to Julie a long time ago. This sent August into another round of tears.

August held on to her necklace until she couldn't see Julie anymore. She knew that she wouldn't see her for awhile. Little did she know that it would be a long long while.

------------2 hours later------------

"Boys!! Are you ready yet" called Walker
"Yea dad!" came three responses
"Ok!! Then lets get going! Our flight leaves in about 2 hours!"

"This is going to be awesome!" thought August. "New York, here I come."

The entire Hanson family, including August, left the house and headed to the airport. They would take a private plane to New York for a week. From new York, they would fly to L.A., and then to Europe for the next video.

-----------------

The flight to New York seemed like a dream to August. She had never imagined herself on a private jet, with a mega-superstar pop group on her way to New York. They were almost to the airport, they had about 15 minutes left. "There's probably a huge mass of girls to get through" thought August. She stood up and stretched, and looked around. Almost everyone had fallen asleep, even Zac. August quietly opened her book bag and pulled out a camera. She quickly snapped a picture of Zac sleeping, Taylor sleeping, and Isaac sleeping. Then, she got an idea. She turned around to find Walker. He was towards the back of the plane, reading a magazine.

"Walker" she whispered

He looked up from his magazine and smiled

"Yes August?"
"Do you have your video camera?" she snickered
"But of course. Why do you want it?"
"Because the guys are asleep"
"Oo, good idea."

He quietly pulled the video camera on and hit record. He handed it to August.

"Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to the plane. I'm your host, August Mayer. I'm walking towards the front of the plane where my three friends, Ike, Tay, and Zac Hanson, also know as the pop group Hanson, are fast asleep, lets take a look."

She reached the seats that held the three sleeping boys. Each had a pair of headphones on. She swept the camera over all three, and zoomed in on Zac, then Taylor, and finally Isaac. She turned the camera to herself.

"Sleeping Beauties, dontcha think?"

Suddenly, Zac started to talk. August turned the camera to him

"Tay, I don't want the red ones, I want the yellow ones" he muttered

August snickered. She felt a tug on her shirt. She looked down. Mackenzie was standing next to her, rubbing his eyes.

"What are you doing?" he whispered. He put his arms up, a signal that he wanted to be picked up. August turned the camera to him.

"Hi Mackie, say hi to the camera."

Mackenzie giggled. August bent down and picked him up.

"I'm taping your brothers. They're asleep."

He giggled again

"Hey Mac, you wanna wake them up? I'll tape it."
"Yea yea yea!!"
"Ok, quiet. Go wake Zakky up first, ok? Put your hand over his mouth and pinch his nose, ok?"
"Hehehe, ok August."

August set Mackenzie down and he made his way over to Zac. He climbed onto Zac's stomach. He put his little hand over Zac's mouth and pinched his nose, just like August told him to. After about 30 seconds, Zac woke up, gasping. Mackenzie almost fell off him laughing.

"Guys, shhhh" laughed August. "Mac, jump on Tay"
"Ok"

Zac picked him up and set him on Tay's stomach.

"Wake Up Tay-Tay!!! Wake Up!!! Wake Up Tay-Tay!!" he chanted as he jumped on Taylor's stomach.

Taylor woke up immediately. He pulled off his headphones

"Mac, how many times have I told you not to do that?"

Mackenzie just laughed.

"Why'd you do it man?"
"Cuz she wanted me to"
"Who wanted you to?"

Mackenzie laughed and jumped off Taylor. He ran and hid behind August's legs. She just stood there with the camera and laughed.

"You put him up to that? Ah! No Camera!!! Turn it off!" he groaned
"Shhhhh! Tay!! We still have to get Isaac!!"
"O! O! O! I know what to do!" whispered an excited Zac
"Ok, what do we do?"
"I'll be right back!"

He rushed over to his bag and pulled out a can of Whip Cream.

"Zac, why do you carry a can of Whip Cream in your backpack?" asked August
"Just incase this position comes along" he grinned. "We need a feather"
"Ok, let me think, O! Avery has a Barbie that has feathers in her hair. We can use that!"
whispered Taylor.

He walked over to Avery's bag and pulled out a feather. She was still asleep.

"Ok, Zac put it in his hands." whispered Taylor, a smile beginning to form

Zac quietly walked over and sprayed the Whip Cream into Isaac's hands. Almost laughing, The rest of the group, which now included Walker, walked over. August had the camera ready.

"Do it Tay"
"Ok" he laughed.

He walked over to Isaac and tickled his nose with the feather. Isaac moved, but nothing happened. Taylor did it again. This time, Isaac brought his hand up to scratch his nose. He brought it up fast, and got the Whip Cream all over his face. He settled back, unfazed, and clueless. Taylor tickled his nose again, only more. This time, Isaac brought both hands up. Still, he was unfazed. Taylor did it one more time. He tickled his neck and his chin. Suddenly, Isaac woke up.

"What the!?" he cried, now noticing the Whip Cream on his face and hands.
"Haha, priceless" laughed August
"Tay, you're dead"

"Ah!" cried Taylor. He ran behind August and grabbed her waist.

"I know you wouldn't get August. So, she'll be my hostage."
"Tay, no!"
"Sorry babe, gotta do it"

Suddenly, Taylor realized what he had said. His face turned a bright shade of red, along with August's.

"Ike, buddy, pal. Don't get me! I'm you're friend!" cried August

Isaac kept walking towards them, a wicked smile on his face, and they kept walking backwards, August still with the camera. All of the sudden, the camera was swiped from her. Zac had taken it and now he was taping this whole "episode". He was laughing hysterically.

"Ike, buddy, it was Zac's idea, I just made Taylor do it cuz I was taping!"
"You taped that!?"
"Uh, I mean, Um, ooppss"

She quickly ducked. She pulled Taylor's hands from her waist and darted behind him, switching places with him. Taylor had liked the previous position, but he liked this one too. They continued like this until the captain told them that they would be landing soon, and to sit down and get ready.
