"Hey watch it!" Kim yelled to the figure that was standing up on one of the large rocks just beside her.

It was fairly early in the morning and Kim had decided to take her morning run, that she had to start up again cause of the basketball decision that her mom had made, into the woods on this fine morning. All was going well until she was almost hit by a paint-ball on that was launched just in front of her by the figure on the rock.

"Sorry!" Isaac said staring down at the beautiful figure that was staring up at him, "I missed the target!"

"No kidding! Last I checked I didn't have a bulls-eye painted on my back!" Kim yelled back.

"No, not you, the moss on the tree behind you."

"Sure." Kim said before continuing her run. "Hey, next time why don’t you make your target some where else besides a walking path." Kim yelled back to Isaac who was now standing in the spot that Kim was standing only moments ago, just watching her run away keeping her face in his memory.

"I’ll see you around?" Isaac said before she left his sight completely.

"Not if I see you first." Kim yelled back not knowing whom she was talking to.

"Wow!" Isaac said out loud, followed by the inside thoughts of, ‘Ike you have girlfriend!’

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

"Jared, I told you! I'll be there O.K.? By myself. Isaac has to baby-sit tonight for the Wilson's and his parents, so he won't be there." Kate said as she opened the door to her own room.

Chrissy was sitting on her bed looking as if she needed someone to talk to.

"I gotta go. I'll meet you there. Bye. Right back at ya." Kate said into the cordless phone before hanging up on it. "Isn't this my room?" She said sarcastically.

"What are you doing in here?"

"What are you up to?" Chrissy asked her without a 'Hi!' or a 'Hello!'

"Nothing. I was going to do some of my homework." Kate said.

"That’s not what I meant." Chrissy said.

"Well say what you mean, not what you meant." Kate cracked a smile.

"Jared. What is going on with you and Jared?" Chrissy noticed Kate’s uncomfortable shift in stance when she asked this.

"Nothing." Kate said hoping Chrissy couldn't see through her.

"Then how come you two have been spending so much time together lately? And how come you told Ike that you were still in dance when you like quit it a month ago?"

"Nothing." Kate was going to say more but…

"Gees, would you quit saying nothing? You’re lying. I can tell."

"Nothing is going on with us Chrissy!"

"Fine. I guess I’m going to have to find out on my own." Chrissy got up to leave Kate's room.

"Oh Chrissy?" Kate asked before Chrissy left, "If something was going on with us why would you care? It's my life and it's not really any of your business."

"Well it kinda is cause I'm going out with Zac and if he is starting to notice that something is up don’t you think Isaac does too?"

"No way." Kate made a weird face, "He is clueless."

Chrissy looked at her sister then slammed the door. ‘There is something going on with the two of them.’ She said to herself, as she walked to her room.

"God Tay you should have seen her." Isaac began to tell his brother about the little incident in the forest this morning, "She had the coolest red hair, the best body I have seen around and she kinda looked a little like Nicki."

"Nicki!" Taylor sighed almost in whisper, "God why did you have to bring her name up?"

"Why not?"

"Cause, well remember last night when she called back,"

"And woke up Mac? Ya I remember." Isaac smiled.

"Well any way, I never got the nerve up to ask her out. Not even to the party tonight."

"What? I swear Tay! Some times I think you that you are from another planet."

"Taylor from another planet?" Zac said as he entered the Hanson’s backyard with his new friend, Micah, "Duh! Didn’t you know that already Ikey poos?"

"Shut-up Zac." Taylor snapped.

"Woof!" Zac barked back.

"Isaac you have to come and make the dinner. And were going right now." Diana told her son from her bed room window.

"O.K. Mom." Isaac said, "Hey, Micah why don’t you stay for supper?"

"Oh thanks I would, but I told Nicki and Kimmy that I would help them with dinner. They can’t do anything with out me." Micah said.

It made the three blondes laugh.

"But I thought that you guys were going to come over before the party anyway, ya know so Isaac can come and get Maggie and Jacob to baby-sit them?"

"Well I thought Kim was going to baby-sit with me? Here?" Isaac sounded a little confused.

"Oh Isaac I forgot to tell you." Taylor said, "Kim got into the basket ball thingy and she has a practice tonight so Nicki and her were wondering if you could look after the others too till she gets back?"

"Well thank you Tay for telling me." Isaac said getting up to go make dinner.

"I had other things on my mind at the time Ike! Look I'm sorry," Taylor pleaded following his brother into the house, "I didn't think that you would mind, I mean you were going to be here any way and it wont be that long."

"What ever." Isaac rolled his eyes.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

"Where were you this morning?" Mr. W asked Kim as she started to come down the stairs to say good bye to her leaving parents.

"I went out. So where are you guys going anyway?" Kim said changing the subject.

"We will be..." Mrs. W began to say.

When the kids all had said goodbye to their parents and they had left, "So where were you this morning?" Nicki asked looking up at her sister who was standing on one step up from the step that she was sitting on, near the bottom of the stars.

Kim looked down at Nicki and sat down beside her. "Almost getting killed by a paint ball."

Nicki smiled, "What?"

Kim began to tell her all about the guy that was trying to practically kill her. "So any way about last night you know when I freaked out at you?"

"Ya."

"Well I’m sorry."

"So where’s supper?" Jacob asked as he made his way into the house.

*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

Nicki was excited about the party, and she hoped Taylor would be also. It was 7p.m. And Nicki was already worried about what she was going to wear to the party.

"OMIGOD! Kimmy! Help me! What do I wear!" Nicki said nervously.

"Nicki, um, wear your jean flares and that cute little halter top you have..."

"No! I wore that halter-top to the pool party on Wednesday! I do not want Taylor to think I only have one shirt!"

"Then wear your red tank top with the blue stripes..."

"Okay... that’s cute! Now how do I wear my hair?"

"Umm... wear it up, like in a messy top knot thingy..."

"Great! Awww, Kimmy, you are the best!" Nicki threw on the outfit Kim had just described. She looked good. Damn good. She only hoped Taylor thought so too. "So what time do you think you'll be home from practice?"

"I don’t know!" Kimmy said as she put her hair up in a lose pony tale, preparing for her basket ball practice.

"Well Mage's is ready to go right?" Nicki asked.

"Ya, Jacob is playing with her down stars." Kimmy looked from the mirror to her sister, "Why?"

"Cause Isaac is going to be here any min to pick her and Jacob up."

"I still don’t feel comfortable leaving Maggie with Isaac. I mean we hardly know them." Kim told her sister as she placed her basket ball shoes on.

"It'll be fine. And when your done you can go and pick her up."

Just then the doorbell rang. Nicki looked at Kim with a huge smile, "Its them!" She yelled.

"Oh my god! Ok well how do I look?" Kim started to freak out too.

"Kimmy! You look fine. Besides, why should you care what you look like? You don't even like Hanson!" Nicki asked placing her hand on the doorknob to her room's door.

Nicki and Kim walked down the stairs with Nicki leading, to see that Jacob had already let them in, "Wow. Nicki! You look, umm, good." Taylor mumbled.

"You look pretty cool yourself!" Nicki exclaimed. And he did look good. He wore his jeans and a striped shirt that was two different color greens.

"Hey its you!" Isaac said as he looked directly at Kim.

"Huh?" Everyone else said.

"You!" Isaac pointed to Kim, "The chick I almost hit today!"

"That’s was you!" Kim said back, "You could have killed me!"

"I said I was sorry!" Isaac said.

"So you're the one Isaac was telling me about." Taylor asked Kim.

"What?" Kim asked looking at Isaac who was now turning a very cool shad of red.

"And you're the one that Kim was telling me about." Nicki asked Isaac.

"What?" Isaac asked looking at Kim who was now turning red herself.
