Part Four

They slept most of the way but they arrived at five thirty in the afternoon to the Fox Theater, there was a crowd of 8 waiting for Hanson to come out of the bus. It was all girls, but that’s okay. Since Michelle was there she decided she would get off the bus first. The ten people were silent as the door opened. Michelle walks out and the people are confused. Someone at random screams, “Who the hell are you?”

“I am Michelle. I am the contest winner that spent a week with Hanson.”

“Really!” Another random voice shouted from the crowd.

“Yes and I am here to watch as well as promise you all an autograph and picture with Hanson. Actually, I have a better idea. How about all of you come with me, I have a plan.”

Hanson followed her with a lot of confusion. She went to talk to the manager while the boys signed autographs and took pictures with the girls. She was done talking and the boys were done signing, so she took the girls in another room to explain what was going to happen. Hanson’s manager explained to the boys what was going to happen. Mish picked a song and told the girls that they are going to be dancers for that song. They had a few hours to learn it so they had to work fast. All of them got a studio to work in and surprisingly, they had a pretty good dance to the song Can’t Stop. The guys watched it with amazement. They never did this before so they were a little scared about how it would go over. The concert started and was going great. The dance number was going to be the last song played in the concert. Before the song started, she went out and pumped the crowed up for the surprise. When all the dancers came out and performed, the crowd loved it. Hanson did perform the song, they actually watched them in amazement too. The crowd went nuts and they loved it. Mish had just created a turning point for the band.

          When the concert was over, she was at the front of the building where the people came out. All these people came up to her wanting autographs and everyone seemed to love her. Hanson’s manager saw this happening and realized that the people loved this girl. He decided he would make her the fan consultant. When he told her this, she practically shit a brick. This meant she was going to go on tour with Hanson and she will be able to be with them 24-7. She gladly accepted this job and called her friend Dayna right away. “Oh my god, guess what just happened to me!”

“What?”

“I am now working for Hanson. I was at the concert and I picked a bunch of girls to do a dance and stuff and I was really good with the fans and everyone loved me. They told me I was the fan consultant.” Mish was so excited when she was talking she could barely get the words out.

 “Oh my god! I hate you so much! You have to come get me and we’ll celebrate or something!”

“Okay, I will make an appointment for you to meet me and Hanson too. I know you don’t like them that much but maybe you’ll start like them. I will give you details later. Okay, bye!”

“I’m so stoked for you. Thanks for the invite! Bye! Good luck on the road.” Then she called her mom and other friends to tell them the great news. She was going on tour with Hanson. She brought the dancers too. They worked hard on the dance making it better for each show. Before they knew it, this whole new thing attracted new fans. All the guys loved Mish, so now instead of all screaming girls, there were guys at the concerts too. This really took Hanson to the top. This was the biggest thing since World War II. Not really, but it was huge.

          Michelle still slept in the bus with the boys because she liked it there. Her and Isaac were becoming really close and they were best of friends. Zac and Taylor both had a crush on her. Mish knew it. She wasn’t going to do anything about it because it might cause trouble in the group. They were all just friends. Ike was aware that his brothers liked her and all of them were extremely flirty with her. He noticed Mish always was leading them both on and he knew he had to say something before she got to into it.

“Hey Mish, can I talk to you for a minute?” Ike asked her one day.

“Sure, what’s up?”

“Well I have noticed and I am sure you have that my brothers like you.”

“Yes I am aware. So...”

“Well I have been watching you and you keep leading both of them on and I think you should watch it because we don’t want anything to happened that could affect your being here. I just want to be careful.”

“I know, I can’t help it though. It comes natural to me. I am just a big flirt I guess. Well second to Dayna of course. I’ll try to watch it. I understand what you mean.”

“Okay, I was just letting you know. By the way who’s Dayna?”

“ Uhh, you’ll meet her soon enough!” That was it and she tried to watch what she said and did around them. Sooner or later one of them was going to make a move, but she was trying to avoid it as much as she could. During the summer they did many shows and after every one of them they all signed autographs. Mish was loving it and tried to do something different, so she would take fans onto the stage and just give them things that she found and signed their arm or something. She was being weird, but the fans loved it though. Soon the day came though. One of the boys made a move and Mish didn’t know what to do. “Hey Mish, I need to talk to you.”

“Okay, what’s up?”

“Well I know that we are just friends but I really like you and I want to try and see if we could, well…”

“You want me to go out with you. That’s what your asking isn’t it. This is exactly what I didn’t want to happen. You know your brother likes my too and he will get jealous or something and you two will fight and it will be all because of me. I just wanted for us to be friends and not cause any trouble. I’m really sorry but I got to get out of here.” With those words she took some of her stuff and disappeared. They had a concert to do in 2 days and with out her, people would be disappointed. He went to Isaac right away and told him what happened. He was practically in tears. “Look what I’ve done. I couldn’t just keep my mouth shut. I’m so stupid.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll find her. I knew this would happen.” Isaac tried to find her. New York is a big place but he tried a few places that he new she liked. She told him about her trip to New York in 9th grade. He first checked by the Phantom Of The Opera Theater, no Mish. Then a little gift shop, no Mish. He kept thinking, but he could remember the other place that she liked. Then it came to him, the MTV studios. She was there and got on TRL. Sure enough there she was. Just sitting there looking at the ground. He went up to her and talked to her. “I heard what happened. You knew it was going to happen sooner or later. Just talk to him and straighten it out.”

“I don’t want to talk to him right now so I will just stay put for awhile.”

“We have a concert in two days, what about that?”

“I will be there, but don’t tell him that I will, I think I have a plan.”

“Okay, but don’t be too harsh on him okay, will you do that for me?”

“I promise.” After that Ike left her alone.

He went back to the bus where he practically jumped down his throat. “Did you find her, what did she say, is she coming back?”

“Settle down, I did find her.”

“Well what did she say?”

“She said she was going to stay put for awhile and she isn’t sure about coming back right now.”

“Oh my god, I can’t believe what I have done.” He was beside himself because this sort of thing hasn’t happened to him before. Zac came in and was a little confused because he was gone the whole time this took place. “What happened?”

“Well Tay asked Michelle out and she got upset and ran off for a few days.”

“He did? Is she coming back? Is she okay?”

“She is fine and she isn’t sure if she is coming back.” Zac was surprised that Taylor actually asked her out in the first place but he was even more surprised she ran away might not be there for the concert.
