They were back in Australia. The brothers they had met last time there were there - Jarod and Nick, met them at the airport. They would be their 'hosts' while they were in Sydney. Mainly because their show - Hot Stuff - was the first Australian appearance Hanson would make this trip.
"Hey Jarod!" Zac yelled, waving maniacally.
"Uhh, guys..." Nick shouted, his eyes wide. "Stampede!"
Sure enough, a great big mob of screaming fan was flooding in from behind them. Isaac, Taylor, Zac and a few of the more targeted members of their party ran to the bus. The others would be picked up in another.
"Whoa." Isaac gasped. "I wasn't expecting that!"
Nick and Jarod grinned. They chatted about nothing for the next couple of minutes.
"Hey, wasn't there gonna be someone else meeting us as well?" asked Zac. "I remember you saying something about a chick."
Taylor whacked him over the head.
"Zac, you're worse than Ike."
Zac poked out his tongue at him.
"Yeah." Nick chuckled. "Our co-hostess Babsie was gonna be here, but at the last minute she was asked to help out at her Aunt and Uncles' club. There were short of entertainment people."
Walkers' mobile phone rang. He picked it up. The other kept talking (although a little more quietly) while he spoke to Diana.
"So, do you boys know of any good places to eat?" Walker inquired after a while.
"Yeah, Nick and I were planning to go down to the club afterwards. The food's cool." Jarod said.
"It's a family one, don't worry. We like watching Babsie perform. She's pretty damn good." Nick added.
"What does she do?" asked Isaac.
"She's an impersonator."
"Cool." Zac replied, his eyes lighting up with glee.
"Ok then. Is it far from here?" Walker asked.
"No. Just tell the driver to go to the Masters Variety club."
"Ok."
Walker informed Diana of this, and to the Masters Varity club they headed.
"Say, is Rita performing tonight as well?" Nick asked Jarod.
"Probably." Jarod turned to the others. "Rita is Babsies' cousin. I think she's born the same day as you Taylor."
Taylor smiled.
"Cool."
"The whole fam works there. Rita's bro Kevin is an apprentice Chef and her sister Mary is one of the waitresses." Jarod continued. "Rita and Babsies' mothers were identical twins, but Babsies' mum is dead and her dad walked out on them."
Jarod leaned closer to them.
"It would be best if you didn't ask her about that."
A few minutes later they turned into the car park of the club. They all got out of their respective buses. Taylor looked around and his eyes widened.
"Oh my gosh." He whispered. "Could it be?"
