That evening, Dawn and Steven went back over to the Hansons'. Ike and Steven dissapeared within 5 minutes, leaving Tay and Zac with Dawn. (The other Hansons are yet to be seen...)
"So, um, what do you guys wanna do?" Asked Zac, getting bored already.
"Something indoors. It's cold outside." Stated Dawn.
"Good plan." Said Tay.
"So, uh... what?" Said Dawn.
"A movie?" Suggested Zac.
"Sure, I guess. What one?" Said Taylor.
"I dunno, we've watched all ours, I guess." Replied Zac.
"Oh! I have a good one! I'll be right back, ok?" Dawn raced out the door, back to her house, before the guys could answer. A few minutes later, she returned, a movie in hand.
"What movie is it?" Asked Zac.
Dawn grinned. "My favorite. It's really scary! Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds". I love it so much!!!"
"Cool. That's really old, isn't it?" Said Tay.
"Yeah, it is... they use all real birds in it too! None of 'em are animatronic like movies now... that makes it even creepier!" Dawn exclaimed proudly.
(**Author's Note: Seriously, guys. This movie rocks. I love it soooo much. It's a little violent, but it'll make you a little wary of your feathered friends for quite awhile...**)
They all sat down to watch the movie, Dawn on the couch, Taylor not-so-close beside her, and Zac sat on the floor in front of Dawn.
This is how the movie went:
Taylor's thoughts: << This movie is SICK!... Those birds are scary... Dawn is hot.. I wonder if she likes me too... What's with her and Zac?... >>
Dawn's thoughts: << I love this part! Ahahaha!... Zac is so cute, I don't care how much younger he is... I wonder what he'd do if I tried to french-braid his hair... Why is Taylor staring at me? What's with him today? Does he like me that much??? >>
Zac's thoughts: << This movie is weird... but I like it... I wonder why Tay is acting so strange around Dawn... it's getting annoying... she's my friend too!... What's she doing with my hair?... Dawn's pretty, maybe that's it... >>
So, after the movie, they were all lost in their thoughts. Then Dawn announced she had to leave very soon.
"Why do you always have to leave? And what did you do to my hair???" Zac whined.
"I have really strict parents, Zac. They're nice, though. And I french-braided your hair. It looks neat, I've wondered what it'd look like, like that, since we met... I'll take it out now, if you like..." Dawn explained.
"Oh, okay. Well, leave it in. Please stay a little longer, though? Please???"
"Oh fine. What will we do? I'll stay for 10 minutes, but after that, I'm dead."
All this time, Taylor was sittng there, still in his own little world. He still couldn't figure out if there was something going on between Dawn and Zac. So he decided to put it to the test...
"Let's play Truth or Dare." He said, out of the blue.
Zac looked at him, surprised. "Okay."
"Tay, since you suggested it, Truth or Dare?" Asked Dawn.
"Um, truth."
Dawn sat for a minute, then thought of something to ask. It wasn't very good, but it'd do. "What's the most embarassing thing that's happened to you, recently?"
"Uhhhhhhh...... Last week in L.A., we went to a realy cool restaraunt, our stylist made me wear uglier clothes than usual, and these cute girls were pointing at me and laughing. I was mortified, and I wanted to kill someone! Zac and Ike always get nice clothes..."
"Oh, ha ha ha ha, wow. You guys have a stylist??? That's an obvious clue that I'm obliviously hanging with celebs... but you're so normal!!!"
"Whatever. Just don't think of us that way. Figure it out on your own, 'kay?" Said Zac, grinning.
"Anyway, it's your turn Zac. Truth or Dare?" Said Taylor, changing the subject.
He thought about it for a minute, then said "Dare!".
"Ok, uh......" Thought Taylor. Then he remembered that this was his plan. "I dare you... to, um... kiss Dawn!" Inside, he was laughing evilly, but on the outside, Taylor just looked like a cruel big brother.
"Whaaaaat?" Squeaked Zac, in disbelief.
"You heard me..." Tay said, grinning wickedly.
Zac sighed, and Dawn smiled encouragingly. "I don't bite, Zac." She said, reasurringly.
"I know..." Zac said meekly, while looking at the floor nervously. He had never kissed a girl before, and Taylor knew it!
Then Dawn glanced at her watch. "Look, we'll do this someother time maybe? I really have to go home. Call me later?" She said.
Zac looked up quickly, relieved, and Taylor seemed a little upset, for some reason that Dawn couldn't quite figure out. She couldn't leave the Hanson boys like this, so she bent down to grab her movie, and when she stood up, before anyone could think, she gave Zac a kiss on the lips, and smiled when she broke away. Without a word, she ran up the stairs, and out the door.
"Um, bye Dawn!" Zac stammered, blushing furiously.
"See ya!" The door closed loudly, as Dawn ran next door, and up to her room, where she broke out laughing. "Hee hee hee... Poor Zac, he looked so embarassed! Ha ha ha ha! I didn't mind the job though!" She said between giggles, to no one in particular. "I hope he calls me."
