"You know, I was about to say the same thing." Mason commented.
Hanson and Fair Dinkum were both scheduled to be on the same show. It was a new one, hosted by the Olsen twins.
"I checked out schedules." Jo commented. "Our tours keep bumping into each other."
"Really? Cool." Zac replied.
"But right now, we're on the same show." Jim said. "When are you on?"
"Umm, a little before halfway through." Isaac answered.
"We're a little after." Drew smiled. "Cool."

"Wow guys, I just have to say, that this is a fantastic record." Mary Kate said.
"Yeah, Mary Kate's been blaring it out of her CD player for days on end." Ashley teased.
The guys laughed.
"Well, thank you." Taylor said,
"Hey, you're welcome! So what's been -" she cut herself off and stared.
They all stared. Until now, relatively unnoticed, people in black outfits had been making for and standing in strategic positions around the studio, taking out security where necessary. What had caught Mary Kate's attention, was the one in the middle of the stage area holding a gun to Jo's head!
"Ladies and gentlemen and everyone else." The man, presumably the leader, announced. "My friends and I have decided that this show needs a little livening up. You might noticed some bags right about now. They're for your cash, credit cards, jewelry, cell phones, you get the idea. Anyone trying to make trouble or is discovered holding back gets a slug through your head… or maybe through this pretty little girlie here."
Isaac, Taylor, Zac, Mary Kate and Ashley looked at each other and at Jo.
*Wow, Jo is doing a really good job at looking scared.* Isaac commented to Taylor.
*Ike! She is scared!*
Isaac was confused.
*Why should she be scared? A bullet, even through the head is not going to kill her. She's invulnerable remember?*
*That's the point. If he shoots her at this point black range she won't die. And everyone will wonder why for surely the bullet can't miss.*
*If he shoots her…* Isaac realised. *If he shoots her, they'll find out what she is. Or at least, figure out that she's not a normal human.*
*Assuming they don't go and jump to the 'she's an alien' conclusion.*
