"Wow." Rita murmured, stepping out of the tour bus.
"Say, that's some patch job." Isaac grinned.
They were back in Tulsa. Because the tornado destroyed Taylor and Rita's house, as well, as their parents' house, extreme rebuilding had to take place.
In fact, pretty much from scratch.
When they had come back just after the tornado, this was one of the many thing they all found themselves having to do. As if one house wasn't bad enough! And since they weren't really able to keep an eye on construction themselves, they had their friends keep an eye on the houses for them.
Of course, lots of other houses had needed rebuilding, and as the Hanson's were going to be on tour, their two were, in a sense, 'put on hold'. As it was, they were still in the process of getting rebuilt.
But it still looked good.
"Hmm, they don't exactly look ready to move into though." Taylor commented thoughtfully.
"Ahh don't worry bro. Our house is available." Isaac answered.
Taylor smiled.
"I know, thanks."
"You're welcome."
"It's almost hard to believe that a few months ago this place was…" Rita trailed off.
Taylor wrapped his arm around her. Feeling that she needed a more light-hearted subject, he changed it. Slightly.
"It's a shame about your motorcycles Zac."
"Motorcycles?" Zac repeated. "Why? What happened?"
"Well, they, would have… you know." Taylor gestured to the house.
"Oh, don't you remember? I moved them into Ike's garage before the tour. Y'know, after you backed the car into the door and made that huge dent? I said if you didn't get it fixed you were risking getting robbed."
"Oh, yeah… that's right. I forgot."
"Ha ha. I know you. You were hoping I'd finally get over them."
Taylor gave him a grin.
"Umm, yeah, something like that. What kind of person names his motorcycles?"
"The opposite of the kind of person who doesn't name them."
"Your problem is that you need a woman."
"As I recall. I do."
"A girlfriend is not the same thing as a wife."
"What? You don't think I don't know that? In fact, I think that I know that better then you do. You who have only ever had two girlfriends in your entire life, one of whom cheated on you for most of your relationship."
"You cheated on most of your girlfriends."
"At least I had more then two."
"You two are pathetic." Babsie commented. "I'm going inside and giving Psy a call."
"Isn't Psy in Australia?" Rita asked, glancing at her watch. "It'll be what? One o'clock in the morning down there."
"Yep, it is. That's the whole point." Babsie replied with a gleeful grin, then she laughed menacingly.
