"Whoa, hey Tay!"
"Yeah Zac?"
"I thought you might like to know... it's about Elspeth."
"What about Elf?"
"Bree thinks she likes you." He teased.
Taylor looked a little startled.
"Ahh, she does?" he repeated.
"Yeah. Maybe you should ask her out."
"Oh, I don't know." Taylor hesitated. "I mean, she does live in Australia. I'd never get to see her."
Zac frowned at him.
"Oh, c'mon Tay! You the one with 'Tay loves Elf' written all over your stuff! Don't you think you could at least try?"
Zac was enjoying watching Tay squirm.
"Uhh, yeah. Well, uhh, umm. Whatever, talk to you later."
Taylor left abruptly. Had he turned around, he would have seen a huge, knowing grin on Zac's face.
"Round one to us." He chuckled.

"So guys, how are things on the road?" asked the DJ.
"Yeah it's cool." Isaac answered. "Been playing lots of video games and having water fights and -"
"And pulling pranks." Zac added cheekily. "We've pulled some beauties eh Hot-lips?"
"Shut up Zac."
"Is that nick name the result of one?" asked the DJ.
"Ahh, you could say that." Isaac grinned.
"Do tell."
"Oh, we'd like to." Zac answered. "But it's more fun not telling you and having people ask 'please tell us how he got that nick name'."
"It's not my nick name, Zac just thinks it is."
"Oh, never mind Tay, I'm sure there are lots of girls out there who would agree with him. About you having hot lips that is." The DJ teased.
Thank goodness it was radio; the audience couldn't see Taylor blush.
