"Hey Mom?"
"Yes Zac?"
"I was wondering, could I invite up a friend for a couple of weeks?"
"Well, I see no reason why not. Who is it?"
"My friend Bree from Australia."
"Isn't she your online friend?"
"Yeah, can I? Please?"
"Oh, I don't know Zac. How do you know Bree is really who she says she is?"
"How do you know she isn't who she says she is?"
Diana gave him a look. Then she smiled.
"Let me talk about it with your father. We'll see what happens."
"Great! But soon ok? Really soon."
"Ok. Now, you better run along, I believe Tay is after your attention."
"Oh, that attention-seeker." Zac joked. "Ok, later!"
Zac bounded off towards Taylor.
"Why are you so happy?" Taylor asked.
"Bree might be coming up for a couple of weeks. Whoo hoo!"
Taylor laughed and smiled at his brother.
"Whoa hey man, watch where you're going!" Isaac said when Zac nearly ran into him.
"Oh, uh, sorry dude. So, we gonna get started?"
"That's the general idea."
Taylor laughed as Zac bounced over to the drums.
"Do you think he's in a good mood?" he joked.
"Who? Zac?" Isaac replied. "Never."
