Before they knew it they'd arrived back at the hotel. Ike parked the van and they all jumped out.
"Uggghhh!" Zac moaned. "That McDonalds food made me sick!" He announced making barfing noises.
"What are you talking about?" Theresa asked as she poked him in the stomach. "I thought it was pretty good!"
"Did you know that the fries are eighty percent chemicals?" Katie flaunted her knowledge of McDonalds French Fries.
"EEEEEEEWWWWWW!" Isaac exclaimed in disgust. Everyone laughed at his reaction, as they walked into the main lobby, and took the elevator to the girls' floor. Amanda slipped the key into the door and let everyone in. Everyone found a place to sit in the room.
"We have to check out soon." Theresa reminded them. Nobody said anything. Everyone was silent and looking around the room, except for Rebekah who had her gaze on the floor.
Theresa noticed her staring at the floor. "Habeker! Do I have to sing my farm animals song for you?" Rebekah shook her head no, and continued to stare at the floor. Theresa couldn't stand the silence, so she flipped on MTV and grabbed her duffel bag, and began to repack her belongings. Katie also began to pack her things.
"Why are you guys so eager to get out of here?" Zac asked Theresa and Katie, looking a little hurt. "Do you hate us so much that you want to go home?" He asked jokingly with a frown.
"Course not!" Katie answered, "But I was supposed to be home at three to watch my sisters."
"I have to work at five." Amanda added.
"Besides you guys have to leave too." Rebekah reminded them. At this thought Isaac frowned.
"Hey, maybe you guys could go on the rest of the tour with us!" Zac exclaimed.
"Good idea!" Taylor added.
"But we can't this week." Rebekah reminded. "We have the Backstreet Boys concert in seven days."
"August second?" Isaac questioned.
"Yep." Katie answered.
"Okay, here's the plan." Isaac explained. "We have a show in Chicago on July 31st. We can stay in Chicago until the second, then after the concert, we can pick you up, and we can go do the rest of our shows! What time does the Backstreet Boys concert start?" Ike finished.
"1:00 PM." Amanda told him.
"Okay, good, then we can pick you up at five."
"Where?" Erin inquired.
"I dunno. How about we pick you up at the arena or wherever after the concert." Isaac suggested.
"Where is it?" Zac asked.
"The Marcus." Katie answered.
"Okay, we know where that is." Taylor replied.
"Duh, Tay we just played there last night." Zac reminded him.
"Anyway," Taylor said ignoring Zac's comment. "How about we pick you up in the main parking lot."
"The concert will probably be over around three or so." Rebekah reasoned.
"Okay, I know. Amanda, you're driving right?" Taylor asked Amanda.
"Yeah."
"Okay, after the concert Amanda can drive you all to your houses, you can get your stuff together, then be back at the Marcus at five, then we can go. And we'll have a tour bus just for you guys."
"Can I decorate it?" Katie asked excitedly.
"Um, I guess so." Zac answered.
"As long as you don't do anything damaging." Isaac said, showing off his responsibility.
"But whatever rocks your socks!" Taylor stated giddily.
"Whatever floats your boat." Ike added.
"Whatever tickles your…nevermind." Theresa giggled.
"PICKLE!" Amanda rejoiced. They all laughed.
"Is there anyone in the world that's not perverted?" Rebekah asked, disgusted. Nobody said a word. They were all guilty in one way or another. At this time all five girls had their bags packed, and piled by the door.
"Sorry Habeker." Theresa apologized. "I didn't say it."
"Nevermind." Rebekah said. "Should we go up to your guys' room and get you packed?" She suggested.
"I guess we should." Ike agreed. The eight of them stood up and made their way to the guys' room, with Isaac and Rebekah with their arms around each other, and Theresa and Zac holding hands, swinging them as they walked along. Amanda flirted with Taylor, and Katie was giving Erin directions to her house for the Backstreet Boys concert. They reached the guys' room, Isaac, Taylor, and Zac found their backpacks and shoved their belongings that were lying around into their green, red, and black backpacks. Ike and Zac tossed their brushes, shampoo, and conditioners into their bags. Taylor had lost all of his so his hair wasn't looking that great. Zac strapped his bag onto his back and frowned.
"Hey Theresa." Zac said. "Do you want to meet the rest of my family?" He asked her. She hoped this was a sign that they were getting more serious about each other.
"Sure." She replied. He grabbed her hand and led her to his parents' suite. In the guys' room Taylor, Katie, Erin, and Amanda sat on one of the beds, discussing the show they were watching on MTV, which was FANatic. Isaac and Rebekah sat on Ike's bed talking about the part of the tour when the girls would be with them.
"Are you sure it's okay with your parents that we come on tour with you?" Rebekah asked Isaac.
"I dunno. Probably. They're cool, but we might want to check before we get our hopes up. I'll call their room.
