"Here it is. It's just beautiful. It is so you Jessy." Zac teased picking out a butt ugly dress followed by Tay doing the same thing and the girls headed to the changing rooms to make them sorry. "Oh my God, mine has this bustle thing going on with the huge bow at the butt that's huger than my ass. U-G-L-Y it ain't got nothing going for it. Just plain butt ugly. How you doing?" Jessy called out. "Yours sounds pretty compared to mine. What boobs I have disappeared in all these ruffles. I know I had them when I came in here. Hmmm." Chele wondered. "What Sis?" Jessy asked. "You know those butt ugly tuxes they wore years ago the crushed velvet ones, well I think they'd go real well with this one." Chele suggested and they made their way to the others and when Chele shared the crushed velvet tuxedo idea, the guys finallly got serious and no longer suggested butt ugly dresses. "I think you're having to much fun with my undress, dress, undress, dress stuff.. It's about time to look for tuxes right?" Chele teased. They found the perfect dresses in the next store and then headed for tuxedos and by noon the wedding party was clothed, except for the bride. Isaac and the guys headed out to check out the caterer, reception hall, rehersal dinner restaurant while the girls went in search of the perfect dress. "That's it simple, but elegant just like your dresses." Madeline said pulling the dress from the rack and asking for a dressing room. She was helped into the gown, "Oh yes this is it. What do you think?" Madeline asked returning to the group "Oh it's perfect, like it was made for you." Chele said. "Just like Isaac." Jessy teased. "Yeah it brings out the best of me doesn't it?." Madeline said returning to the dressing room arranging for the dress to be boxed up and delivered. "Shoes we need shoes." Chele said and they headed out shoe shopping finding the perfect shoes for everyone and having them boxed and delivered. "Man we're good. We deserve a treat. What's it gonna be girls a stop by the candy shop on the way to ice cream, the cookie shop, pizza, pretzels. You name it, I'll...." Madeline was saying, "We'll buy it. So what's you pleasure ladies?" Isaac, Taylor and Zac asked. "You're back." Madeline squealed turning, rushing to Isaac's arms. "You're back." Chele said, turning to find Taylor standing there with a big smile on his face as he opened his arms and she instinctively raced to them. "Hi.' Jessy said turning to find Zac staring at her so she looked at the floor. "Hi Jessy." Zac replied reaching out and touching her hand, bringing her eyes back to his. "I'm glad you came back." she said smiling before she looked down again. "I'm glad you're glad." Zac responded taking her hand in his. "Yeah me too." Jessy answered looking down again as she turned a foot in and the swung it back and forth. "Jessy?" Zac asked. "What Zac?" Jessy asked looking up at him as he opened his arms, "Can I have a hug too?" Zac asked gazing deep into her blue eyes that sparkled as she moved closer smiling, slipping her hands onto his chest running them up over his shoulders as he wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her closer, "You're back." Jessy whispered then kissed him sweetly as she hugged him tight. "You're a great hugger babe." Zac whispered. "I can't believe it, umm Zac I never really liked being touched. I tolerated a few, mostly younger kids. I don't know why but most people give me the heeby jeebies." Jessy explained, shivering for affect, then hugging him again adding, "I like you touching me though." "I like touching you babe. Man it's a good thing Mom is in LA, she is a hugger Jessy. I promise I'll protect you, I won't let her get to you Jessy. If I have to I'll hug you 24/7 so she can't get her hands on you." Zac teased. "You'd do that for me Zac? 24/7? You're so wonderful." Jessy teased back hugging him tighter and tighter. "I give Jessy. I won't tease no more but Mom is a hugger." Zac squealed until she relaxed her grip, adding, "Man you are strong girl." "Zac I got four brothers 2 older and 2 youger and I had to be strong to survive." Jessy explaind. "You decide what you wanted, I'm getting hungry." Zac whispered. "I love pizza." Jessy shared. "Pzza it is. Jessy wants pizza" Zac announced. "Chele wants chocolate and ice cream." Taylor shared. "Maddy wants McDonalds." Isaac added lauging. "Thank God for Food Courts." Ash declared and they all headed in different directions, finally meeting and pulling tables together to make room. They went over everything they'd accomplished as a cell phone rang, "Not me." Isaac, Taylor, Zac, then Ash announced. "It's this purse ringing." Ash announced lifting it in the air. "That would be me." Maddy answered, digging in and pulling out her cell phone, answering it, "Hello." "How come I have to hear from Diana, who's in LA about my own daughter being engaged. Talk embarassing, I can't believe you didn't tell me. I felt like a fool with my best friend letting me know my daughter was engaged. Why can't you be like Isaac, he told his mother." Lucy scolded. "Hi Mom, I'm marrying Isaac. Is that all you wanted?" Madeline said coldly. "I don't care for your tone." Lucy yelled. "We have one thing in common, I don't care for your tone either." she replied without emotion, adding, "Mom he asked me after we left you, and I haven't seen you yet." "Diana knew, he called her." Lucy yelled. "Mom please don't yell. Nah go ahead and yell your head off if it makes you feel better. Might I suggest this is why I didn't feel the need to call you and share the fact that Isaac had proposed. Besides Zac called Diana and you know what Mom, you want me to be more like Isaac, well I suggested Isaac tell his mother, so there." Madeline said as Lucy hung up on her. "Way to go Mom, just hang up, real mature. That always makes everyhing better." Madeline said as she turned off her cell phone. "Maddy." Isaac moaned. "Isaac" Madeline moaned back. ""Forget it I'm not going there. I know I'd be wrong." Isaac laughed. "Oh you do do you. You're getting too good at this Isaac. You already know when I want to pick a fight. We'll never have a reason to make up, you won't fight with me." Madeline pouted. "Oh baby, we've been working on this all our lives. I mean I'm a little slow but I'm not stupid." Isaac teased. "No you're not stupid it only took 18 years to get you to this point. But Isaac I miss fighting with you . We used to have some doozies. Remember?" Madeline sighed laying her head on his shoulder. "Yeah I remember. Those were the good old days, but babe we were young and you know we bounced back a lot faster back then." Isaac teased laying his head on hers. "Remember the time I got bent over that fan that kept showing up at the old house." Madelines asked. "My little spitfire. Man that chick was two, three times your size and my little stick girl here bolts out the front door when she hollered "Isaac I love you still and I'm having your baby.' You came totally unglued." Isaac explained, adding, "You still haven't learned not to let it get to you." "Man Dad was tripping as Maddy bolted out the door and we're all behind him. Maddy marches up to this chick 'How can you totally diss yourself that way. Screaming to the world your in love with my boyfriend and having his baby when he hasn't done anything more then shake your hand if that.' That chick was speechless and started crying. Our little Maddy, man she could always put the fans in their place, out there teaching them to respect us." Zac added. "Dad built the new house for Maddy. The constant guard dogging was taking it's toil. The fans got kookier and kookier and he just got afraid of something happening to her, always confronting the fans like she did." Taylor explained. "Oh my God you're the girl on the bus. When Tay is giving the tour of the bus and his bunk and Isaac did the stuffed doggie bit." Jessy gasped. "She is. She's the girl behind Isaac when he opened the curtain. Man we froze frame so many times trying to solve he mystery of the long dark haired girl, knew it wasn't a Hanson not with that hair." Chele added. "I didn't realize it was in there. You don't know how much footage we couldn't use because Maddy was hiding from the fans." Taylor said. "Not anymore I'm not." Madeline said her thoughts drifting off. "Oh boy watch out. This usually means work for us." Zac said of the look on Maddy's face. "Baby what is it?" Isaac asked lifting her face. "Isaac that's it. Tay you're wonderful, that's the answer. You know that picture the folks took, putting the two of us in your basinette. We could start with that and us toddling together hand in hand. You know the picture that makes Mom cry everytime she looks at it. Her Isaac protecting little Madeline. But Tay the pictures from Mayfest, the Tour, backstage at Leno, Rosie. Isaac that's how we show them we are meant to be together by showing them we always have been." Maddy shared. "Maddy that's it. Knew you could do it." Isaac said hugging her tight, adding, "Let's head home to start pulling out pictures. Hey the next issue of MOE, let's put it in there and let the fans know first." Isaac suggested. "Great idea bro. Scoop the news by letting the fans know first and the picture story, MOE is the place for that." Taylor insisted. "Maddy that picture of you and Isaac going to your Prom. Man you were beautiful. Knocked the old man's socks off." Zac teased. "Yeah babe that was a good time. Guys how about the picture of Maddy and I at Gramma's funeral, that was a biggie in our lives." Isaac suggested as Madeline's eyes filled with tears as she looked up. As a tear broke free and raced down her cheek, she smiled and heaved a big sigh, then blew a kiss upwards. "Bet you didn't know Maddy was the reason we wrote 'With You In Your Dreams" did you?" Taylor asked. "Maddy is the inspiration for most of our songs." Zac shared before leaning and hugging Maddy. "I love you too little brother who's way bigger than me. You know you're almost as tall as Isaac and I don't think you're done." Madeline replied leaning her head on his shoulder. "I can't help it Sis, it's just the me I gotta be." Zac teased. "Oh God Jessy I;m so sorry." Madeline teased. "It's okay Maddy, I think I can handle the me he's gotta be." Jessy teased. "Good he's all yours then." Madeline teased pushing Zac back her way. They finished their lunch and returned to the guys' house, digging out pictures as Jessy scanned them and Chele started a story layout adding quotes for the guys as they explained each picture and why it should be included in the story of Isaac and Madeline. "Man you're good. Look Isaac, Madeline, see what Chele has done." Taylor exclaimed beaming. "Isaac that's it, that's what I wanted." Madeline squealed hugging Chele, adding, "Sis come to work for the guys. I mean guys if you don't hire her, I'm going to be so disappointed in you." "Babe we're used to you telling us what to do, especially me." Isaac said wrapping his arms around her. "And you always come up with the best suggestions and this is another of your better ones Maddy." Taylor added wrapping his arms around the two of them. "Hey that's it. We can hire the girls to run MOE and of course they'd have to travel with us so they could get the scoop on what we're up to." Zac suggested. "I think you guys have a great idea there." Ash shared as Jessy headed out of the office with a worried look. "Jessy wait. Jessy what is it? Jessy please stop." Zac called after her, adding as he caught up with her, asking, "Jessy you're crying. Why?" "Zac this is too much. Maybe Chele can up and move, leave her family. It's not going to happen for me. I mean there is no way my Mom is going to let me move at fourteen. I don't know if I could. Leave all I've every known. I can't drive, well I can, I just can't get a license because of my age. How'd I get around? I'd have to change schools. I've gone to school with the same kids all my life." Jessy rattled on with a lost look in her eyes. "But Jessy we could be together." Zac insisted and Jessy looked at him with such a look of desperation, questioning everything. "Maybe I was wrong. I thought you liked me." Zac shared. "I do but does my life have to end because I do? Zac I'm scared." Jessy said as the desperation turned to tears. "Don't cry Jessy. I'm sorry Jessy honest I didn't mean to make you cry. I just was so happy that I wasn't going to lose you, that you'd move here." Zac insisted as Jessy layed her head on his shoulder and they discussed the whens and hows about the pendng move. "Jessy. Babe dial your house, I want to talk to your mother." Zac asked. "Hey Momma. I'm fine and I love Maddy, she's about the best. Sis and I both adore her. Oh be patient." Jessy scolded Zac. "No I won't." Zac replied taking the phone, "Hey Jessy's Mom, I'm Zac, Zac Hanson and I want you to know you did a great job raising Jessy, she's just about perfect." Zac shared. "Why thank you young man. I agree, she is special." Barbara answered, adding, "So how did the two of you meet, I thought you were in LA?" "We were but my oldest brother goes with Maddy, actually he's marrying Maddy. Isn't that great?" Zac shared his excitement evident. "Why I'd say you are as fond of Maddy as you appear to be of my Jessy." Barbara asked. "I guess I am. Maddy and Isaac have always been together, since they were babies and I guess when they shared they were getting married, I realized she really wasn't my big sister and now she will be. Anyway back to the important stuff, your Jessy. Man I can't lose Jessy now that I finally found her, I just couldn't face it. Since I met her for the first time everything finally makes sense. That probably sounds stupid, I mean everything I've already done in my life and now it makes sense because of Jessy, but it's true. Just holding her hand makes everything so much clearer. Please help me not lose her?" Zac pleaded. "My, my, I don't know what to say. My baby and Zac Hanson, whoa. You're so young, how can you be so sure. Zac have you even dated anyone else? Jessy hasn't. She's had a couple of crushes but how would she know... Do you have any idea how long she has loved you, the public you?" Barbara asked. "What? She's a, she didn't say. I can't believe this." Zac exclaimed turning his attention to Jessy. "How could you keep this from me, like it wouldn't make any difference in how we feel about each other. Jessy you're a, how could you not tell me that you're a.... Jessy you're a, a, ..... Fan." Zac teased. "Oh that, I didn't tell you babe. Must have slipped my mind. Yeah I sort of dig Hanson. I guess I forgot that's who you are you know." Jessy answered kissing him sweetly, batting her blue eyes at him. "Sort of digs Hanson. Don't believe it for an instant. She is majorly obsessed, probably knows more about you that you do Zac. She probably has 50 pics and posters on her walls around her bed, she's been sleeping with you since 97 Zac. Her collection is overwhelming but you would know that if you ever read your fan mail, she sent you a picture of her and her collection along with your birthday present that she designed and tortured me into helping her sew so it would get done. Man she was mad at me for not getting it done and in the mail until your birthday. But I figured you were in LA, what did it matter?" Barbara shared. "It matters. First thing, I'll go find it." Zac answered. "Well sweetie, she's written you a lot, sent you a gummi foot for when you put it in and then a gummi tongue so she could say she swapped tongues with Zac. I imagine she can say that anyway now." Barbara hinted. "Gees Mom, kind of personal there." Zac exclaimed turning red. "What'd she say? Momma don't be telling him everything, you'll scare him." Jessy teased and the three talked deciding that Zac would speak to his parents and Barbara would give it some thought. "Sis, Momma wants to talk to you." Jessy said taking her the phone. Zac persuaded the guys to pick up the fan mail they'd missed while in LA so he could search for Jessy's letters while the girls headed to the printers with Chele's wedding invitation design.
