We began walking slowly and casually towards the table where the 3 girls were sitting. They had just given their order to the waiter and were just sitting and talking. As we began getting closer to their table, we could faintly make out what they were saying, since they were talking softly. They were saying something about performing today. I couldn't believe that they were going to perform 4 days before Christmas Eve! Usually people aren't doing gigs and concerts this time of year because of the stress. But from the look of them, they weren't stressed at all! Then, we reached the table. My heart was pounding a million miles an hour. But I didn't dare show it or else we might look pretty stupid. I started to speak. But for some reason, no words came out of my mouth. Luckily, they hadn't noticed that we were standing there yet, so I quickly made my way for the bathroom that was about 10 feet away. Ike and Zac followed me, I guess they were a little nervous too.
"Tay, what's wrong?" Ike asked with concern when we were in.
I sighed, and confessed," I just don't know what to say! Don't you think it'd be a little weird if we walk up to them and say 'Hi, we're Hanson, do you mind if you could autograph this CD for me? By the way, we're big fans of you, do you think we could sit with you and chat about music since we can't with our fans cause they'd faint?' C'mon Ike, help me out here!" then I looked over at Zac and he gave me this 'Get A Grip Tay' look. Then I glanced back at Ike. I could tell that he was trying to think of something to say.
"Well, we could ask them for their autograph and hope that they invite us to sit with them and talk. We don't have to tell them we're Hanson, we could use our first names and Zac's middle name!" Ike suggested. I shrugged in agreement. I really liked the idea of not having to tell them our real names. I just hoped that they wouldn't know it was really us.

*JESSICA*
"Man, did you see those guys that just walked past us?! They are total hotties! Do you think they saw us?!" I asked Binkies and Lo lo. They nodded in agreement.
"Ya know, they kinda' looked like Hanson! The hair, the bodies, the faces!" Binkies added. By then, I hadn't really noticed the resemblance. But now that she mentioned it, they did!
"Yeah, if they talked to us, then we could tell by their voices if they really are!" Lo lo said as she sipped her soda.
"Yeah, but what are the odds that they really are? C'mon people, they are busy guys! They're probably in Tulsa getting ready for Christmas or something." I saw the excitement slowly fade from their eyes. Great! Just leave it to me to burst the bubble! I had to do something to save the thrill!
"Well, just in case, we had better touch up! Make-up out everyone!" I said, then we all excitedly got our make-up out. Cha Ching! Excitement restored!
"Okay, enough of that. Let's get back to business!" I encouraged. They agreed and put away their make-up back into their back-packs.
"Okay, now I think that we should start sending out our CD's to some more record companies. So far we've been rejected be every single one!" I started. Then Binkies and Lo lo got these serious looks on their faces, and I could tell that they were ready to work now.
"Well we have only tried 10 companies so far! I think we should try sending out another 10 and see how that goes." Suggested Bianca as she let the waiter place her hot dog in front of her.
"Yeah, we could do that. And we could also try to get some auditions with talent scouts and they could introduce us to some people." Lo lo added.
"Oh my gosh! Why didn't I think of this before! There's the O' brian and Rottman Talent Agencies about 10 minutes away from here on Sunset! I'm sure that if we auditioned as a band we'd get an agent!" I enthusiastically exclaimed.
"Well, I'm not sure that would be the best way to do it." Bianca disagreed. "Didn't you say that the last time you made the final cut they wanted like $2,500 for head shots?"
"Oh yeah, I guess you're right. Oh well, I tried." I replied.
*TAYLOR*
"Okay, so are you ready to go over and talk to them?" Ike asked me. I sighed and nodded.
"Okay, let's go!" I replied as I opened the door and walked out. Ike and Zac followed behind me as we made our way back to the table where they were being served their food. I glanced over at Ike and came to a halt in front of them. Then they looked up and saw us.
