Chapter 18: So Happy Together


Zac looked around as the passengers of the plane exited the plane. He didn't see his friend. He sighed then looked at his brother. "Taylor, I swear, if you don't put that goofy sign away I'm going to beat you with it" he grumbled. Taylor covered his mouth to suppress a laugh. "Here Zac," he said, "you can hold it." He handed the giant sign to Zac for him to take. "I'm no psycho Alanis Morissette fan. Throw it away. You look like a teenybopper. I swear to God, Taylor. If that doesn't go in the trash in thirty seconds, I'm going to shoot you in the face with a bazooka" Zac said. Isaac now laughed at how bazooka threats ran in the family. "Zac, I'd advise that you be quiet," Isaac said with a grin, "you're starting to sound like Mom and her bazooka baloney" Zac rolled his eyes at his brother.

A flash of red and black caught Zac's eye. He looked up. "Divia!" he shouted and ran toward her. She smiled. He hugged her tight. "OW! Zac! Stop I'm going to die!" she said and laughed. He looked at her strange. "I broke my ribs when I accidentally fell down a hill" she said. She looked back at Alanis with a look that Alanis didn't need telepathy to read.

'Don't tell. Zac's sensitive'

Alanis nodded.

The ride home was happy. Everyone started singing along with the radio. Zac looked over at Taylor. He seemed to be getting along well with Divia. They were laughing and talking a lot. Isaac just snickered a lot at Taylor for his own personal reasons.

"Deprivation, dude. It's harsh. Isn't it Zac?" Taylor said with a smile. Zac looked at him with a confused look. Taylor glanced down real quick at Zac's hand on Alanis's and made sure Zac got the point. Zac stared at Taylor with an agitated look. Taylor just laughed. 

~* Later That Night *~


"Where are the girls going to sleep?" Isaac asked. Taylor shrugged. Zac concealed a grin. "Ok, it's settled. They all sleep in the closet" Isaac announced. Taylor groaned. Divia giggled. "No, I protest against this act of cruel and unusual punishment" she declared with a grin. Isaac laughed.

"The sink?"

"NO!"

"Shower?"

"Isaac, be serious…"

"The toilet?"

"Ike!"

It was then that Isaac received a couch cushion to the face. "All right, all right, they get to sleep in the… DUN, DUN, DUN same room as Taylor and Zac. Just as long as there is nothing like what was on last night's Discovery Channel. Got it?" Isaac settled. The room burst into giggles. "WHAT NOW?!?" Isaac demanded. There was more laughter then Zac finally caught his breath. "You and me, baby, ain't nothing but mammals. So let's do it like they do it on the Discovery Channel!" Zac sang. Taylor shouted up next. "Do it again now!"

"You and me, baby, ain't nothing but mammals. So let's do it like they do it on the Discovery Channel!"

"Getting' horny now!"

The room went back into hysterics. Isaac rolled his eyes as the moment of funniness went to another person. He went down the hall to where his old room lay.

"And if you look behind door number 3,629 you will find a bunk bed with blankets and mattresses. This is where the males of the species will sleep. On the floor are where the UN-dominant females sleep. In the night there will be no interaction between the males and females. I have made sure of this by controlling their environment and setting up an observation platform outside the gazing window. In the morning both males and females will be sent out to graze. Then I will inspect the habitat for foreign objects. This concludes this Wild Discovery, until next time!"

"Look in the window and die Ike!" Zac shouted and raised another cushion as a weapon. Alanis stuck out her tongue at Isaac. Taylor grinned and put his arm around Divia. "You can't stop this interaction!" and burst out laughing. Divia laughed so hard she fell off the couch and pulled Taylor down with her. "Oh yeah, baby" Taylor said with a laugh. Divia laughed out loud. "Perves at work!" Alanis and Zac shouted at the same time. Everyone looked up when Jessica stepped in the room. "Mom says for all the perves by the names of Isaac, Taylor, Zac, Alanis and Divia to go to bed. And she also wants no Discovery Channel nonsense." She said. The room giggled again. Jessica rolled her eyes. "Nutballs, I swear" she grumbled and left the perverts to themselves.

"But I want the purple sleeping bag! It's a Teletubbie color!" Zac said and grinned. "You wanna sleep on the floor? If not then stop arguing" Taylor said and handed Zac the sleeping bag. "NO! The OTHER purple one! With the monkeys on it!" Zac said. Taylor put his hand on Zac's forehead then looked at him seriously. "Zachary Walker Hanson, we have never had a purple sleeping bag with monkeys on it in our entire family history. No way are you getting that kind of sleeping bag." Taylor said. "I know! But you said that if I wanted to sleep on the floor to keep arguing. So, here I am" Zac said with a grin. Taylor groaned. Taylor tossed all the contents of Zac's bed onto the floor. "You sort it out! I am done with it!" He threw up his arms in frustration and crawled into his own bed. He snuggled under the warm blankets then came out of it for a minute. "If I wake up in the night to any, well, WEIRD sounds. Sounds that are not normally made in the sleep, then all of you can make your weird and unusual noises OUTSIDE, in the RAIN" then he went back to his warm nest. He opened one eye at the words "wet sex" and retaliated with. "Don't even think about it. And if you do the evil booger man will suck out your dirty little minds through a straw. Goodnight" he said then closed his eye. Zac and Alanis giggled. Divia hid her head under the covers so she wouldn't wake up Taylor with her laughter.

"Zac! Get that flashlight out of my face! I'm going to be blind!" Divia breathed this threat. The cover suddenly went dark. "I said get it out of my face! Not turn it off! Gimmie that!" Divia screeched. "Divia, shush. King Taylor is sleeping" Alanis whispered. Zac giggled. "Time for Truth or Dare" Zac whispered.
