Stefani climbed up the ladder and saw Shennan writing in a book. "Hello." She said happily.
Shennan looked at her and smiled. "Okay, what do you want?"
"Just to ask a few questions." She replied.
"Do you want answers to these questions?" Shennan asked as Stefani climbed inside.
She nodded. "It'd be nice." She said smiling.
"About what?" Shennan asked suspiciously.
Stefani smiled innocently at her, "About Isaac."
"You've got to be kidding." Shennan said rolling her eyes and putting her book down to give Stefani all of her attention.
"Nope." She said smiling. "What do you think of him?"
"I can tell you what I'd like to do to him." She said venomously.
"Would you go out with Isaac?" Stefani asked carefully.
Shennan was thoughtful for a moment before she answered, "I'd rather be dragged naked across broken glass and then have salt poured on my wounds." She said as she picked her book back up. "I hope I answered all of your questions now."
Stefani smiled, "Wait. There's one more."
"What is it?" Shennan said sighing softly, growing tired of the game twenty-one questions.
"What do you think of him?" She asked innocently.
"Are we still talking about Isaac?" Shennan asked warily.
Stefani nodded her head.
"Truthfully?" She inquired.
"Truthfully." Stefani said smiling.
Shennan rolled her eyes. "He's annoying, arrogant, and has this weird thing about always being forgiven when he asks for it." She replied shaking her head.
"Why is everything about Isaac all of a sudden?" She asked eyeing her twin speculatively.
Stefani shrugged. "Just curious. That's all."
Shennan nodded. "Yeah, right."
"Well, look at the time." She said glancing at her bare wrist. "I have to get back to Taylor. We're planning on doing something." She said smiling again.
Waving, Shennan replied, "I'm very happy for you. Really, I am."
Laughing, Stefani climbed down the ladder and ran inside.
"Ike, how would you know if someone liked someone?" Zac asked as he walked into his room.
Isaac looked up from his laptop. "Well, who are you talking about?"
Zac shrugged. "Just a friend. I think he likes this girl, but he's like way too stubborn to even admit it. And he does some pretty mean things to her sometimes." He replied busying himself by slightly cleaning up his side of the room.
"Well, he probably does like her, but doesn't know it yet. Or he doesn't want to believe that he likes her, and does the mean things to prove to himself that he don't." Isaac said thoughtfully. "Who do you like?" He asked grinning knowingly.
Zac rolled his eyes. "It's not me! I said it was a friend of mine. Don't you listen?" He asked looking at Isaac questioningly.
He shrugged noncommittally. "Sorry, just thought that you were trying to hide something." He said going back to his laptop.
"By the way, Ike. Would you ever go out with Shennan?" Zac asked smiling.
Snapping his head up quickly, Isaac gave Zac an angry glare. "No." He stated slowly.
"Why not?" Zac asked.
"I'd rather marry Barney, than go out with her." He replied stiffly.
Zac nodded. "Okay. Thanks for the advice. I'll ask my friend about it and everything." He said running out the door.
Isaac shook his head. "Weird kid." He mumbled, before he went back to his laptop. Again.
"So what'd he say?" Taylor asked impatiently as Zac entered.
"He said he'd rather marry Barney." Zac stated simply as he sat down in a chair.
Stefani started laughing. "So Shennan would rather be dragged naked across broken glass, and then have salt poured onto the wounds. And Isaac would rather marry Barney." She started laughing even more. "Now tell me they don't like each other."
Zac gave her a strange look. "Maybe you guys read the signs wrong. Maybe they don't like each other like you think they do."
Taylor shook his head. He was laughing also. "They wouldn't hate each other so much if they didn't like each other."
"Well, did you two hate each other before you figured out that you liked each other?" Zac questioned.
Stefani looked at Taylor as he looked at her. They both smiled. "We weren't as stubborn as them." She replied. "We knew we liked each other. It just took me a little time to figure out that he liked me in return."
Taylor laughed. "It took me some time too, but Stef is right. They are way too stubborn to admit that they like each other."
"So how do we get them together?" Zac asked looking at Taylor and Stefani. "We just can't lock them in a room and tell them they can't come out until they realize how much they like each other." He pointed out.
"True." Taylor said nodding.
"Well, we could always try blackmail." Stefani suggested.
"Or we could always do a small set up. If they won't go on their own free will with each other, and they probably won't do a blind date, so maybe they'll settle for an old fashion set up." Taylor said smiling slyly.
Zac rubbed his hands together. "Ooh, tell me more." He said laughing evilly.
Taylor grinned. "What we need to do is _"
"Shennan, Taylor, Zac and I were planning on doing a little celebration dinner. You know to celebrate you being okay and all." Stefani said as Shennan and her got ready for bed.
Shennan pulled her black hair into a ponytail. "Yeah?"
Stefani smiled to herself. "Well, will you come if we do it?"
"I guess." She said shrugging as she snuggled into her bed.
"Great." Stefani said enthusiastically as she turned out the lights. "Has Mykah been coming in here to sleep with you lately?" She asked as she lay in her bed.
Shennan smiled. "No, he hasn't. He's beginning to trust Ryan now too. Ryan mentioned to me that Mykah had even spoken to him last night. He didn't say much, but at least he spoke." She said proudly.
Stefani smiled. "True. Mykah's a great kid."
"Yes, he is." Shennan said as she yawned and drifted slowly off to sleep.
"Yes, Tay." Isaac replied. His voice was muffled because his face was buried in his pillow.
"Stef invited all three of us to a dinner tomorrow night. To celebrate something." He said forcing himself not to laugh and blow it.
Zac smiled up at Taylor.
"What's she celebrating?" Isaac asked lifting his head off his pillow.
"Umm, uh, you know what? I don't remember. But it will be at some fancy restaurant I know that." Taylor said as he fought to keep from laughing.
"Cool." Isaac said burying his face back into his pillow.
"So are ya gonna come?" Taylor asked. He watched as Zac had buried his face into his pillow, and laughed into it.
Isaac lifted his head again. "Yeah, I'll come." He said laying his head down sideways. "But I am not sitting next to Shennan." He warned.
Taylor bit his fist. "Okay." He managed to choke out. Soon he had to bury his face into his pillow and laugh.
After a few minutes the three brothers fell asleep. Taylor and Zac still smiling about their plan, Isaac was just too tired to think of anything.
"Shennan, what're you going to wear tonight?" Stefani asked as she stretched her arms above her head.
She started rubbing her eyes. "Well, do I have to dress formal or informal?" She asked still tired. She placed her hand over her mouth and yawned.
"Formal." Stefani said smiling.
"Then probably a dress or some slacks. Sound okay?" She asked as she got up and went to the closet she shared with Stefani.
"I think that you should wear a dress. It's a very formal restaurant." She said smiling to herself.
Shennan nodded. "Just don't make me sit next to Isaac the whole evening and I'll be fine." She said as she left with her bathroom kit and some fresh clothes.
Stefani started laughing and picked up her phone to call Taylor. "Yeah, Tay? It's going perfect over here. What about there? Oh, this is going to be a night that neither of them are going to forget." She said giggling.
"I better go too. I still need to get ready. Bye. Love you too." She said hanging up the phone.
Shennan came back in looking for a pair of socks. "Who were you chatting to?" She asked as she went through her suitcase.
"No one. Wrong number." She said shrugging.
Nodding, Shennan grabbed her socks and left.
Stefani fell on her bed in a fit of giggles. "This is going to be sooo good." She said as she continued to laugh.
