"Hey sorry dude." Isaac said to his pouting brother. "I guess you'll just have to wait until we return to Australia."
"But it sucks! Why can't Bree come? All our other friends get to hang with us for a few days."
"All our other friends live in Tulsa not in Australia. There's a big difference between other side of the country and other side of the world."
"It still sucks."
"Look, you probably wouldn't have had a lot of time anyway. We do have a record to make."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Zac grumbled.
"Don't worry. You'll get to meet her." Isaac said, patting him on the back.
Zac stiffened.
"Ike? Don't do that." He said, moving away. "That's just scary."
"Why?" Isaac asked with a frown. 'oh, never mind, I don't really want to know how your demented mind works."
"Uhh, yeah. Bye."
And on that Zac hurriedly left the room, leaving Isaac rather confused.
"Umm, ok. I wonder what's gotten into him." He mumbled to himself.
"Hey Ike."
"Huh? Oh hi Laura."
"Is something wrong?"
"Umm, I'm not sure. It's just that Zac has been acting kinda weird around me lately." He paused. "And, come to think of it, so has Tay."
"Oh, they're probably working on another prank. Just humour them."
Isaac nodded.
"Yeah, probably."
