Zac had spent the morning talking to some of his... girlfriends who lived in Tulsa. He was not a time waster: Zac had asked all six of them out on the first date. And of course he had informed them that he wouldn't tell the media that he was dating because he didn't want the other fans to get jealous and try to kill them. Yeah, sure Zac, whatever you say... Of course the truth of the matter was that he didn't want to say 'yes' to the girlfriend question because the next question after that would probably be 'what's her name?'. And Zac was not in the habit of dating girls with the same name.
Anyway, Zac had chatted to all six of them on the phone and then he rang Cassie and gloated about it. Cassie was a little disgusted at first, I mean, six girlfriends in the one city? (not to mention 25 more in other cities...). However, other than Isaac and Taylor, she was the only other person who knew, and Zac thought he would burst if he didn't tell someone.
Then he went on the internet. Zac was full of little games he would play to entertain himself. Aside from the girlfriend thing (31 and counting...) he also liked to go on the internet and tell people that he was Zac Hanson (and see how many accused him of being a poser) or an alien. It was always funny pretending to be an alien. He got all sorts of reactions, everything from 'Yeah, right' to 'Really? So am I!'. In fact, once someone had actually believed him and he spent two whole hours talking to this kook about being stranded in Milwaukee, and wanting to go back home to Albertane. By the end of the conversation, he had been so amused that he had the giggles for the rest of the week. Which was a long time considering it had been on Monday...
Zac had done the alien one again today. No crazy kooks actually believing him this time. A few others had joined in and said they were also aliens. Nothing particularly exciting. He had been jokingly informed by a fan that he would have to find a big-toed bald man sitting at a bus stop in Milwaukee who was talking on a yellow walkie talkie if he wanted to get to Albertane. To which Zac has responded with...
Hocus_Pocus: Albertane? Wheres that?

Freak_of_Nature: Better luck next time fellow alien
Zac reread the conversation that had passed. A line, something he said seemed to echo in his mind... 'I wish that I was there. I wish that I was there. I wish that I was there.' Now inspired, Zac headed to the garage to play his heart out.
