Ashley and I walked up to the stage and then behind it. I saw someone and I asked "Excuse me but where is hanson?"the stranger said "Uh go around the corner and then make a left""thank you" "Uh pardon me for asking but who are you?""

After he left we both jumped up and down. We were gonna sing and play with hanson...AHHHHHHH!!!!!

We finaly saw hanson. They were praticing mmmbop. We diddn't want to interrupt them so we waited, and then applauded. "Hey we diddn't know anybody was over here"Taylor said. "Oh well sorry if we startled you but we meet your dad and he said you need some help with vocals and music and we agreed to help."I said" Really thats great!"Zac excalaimed! "Oh by the way uh i'm Taylor this is Ike and thats Zac" We all shook hands" I'm Tammy and this is Ashley.""HI" "Uh so I guess we should teach ya the part"Taylor said" Uh actually no you don't becuase one day at school we were playing alot of your songs and we played tamborne and we know all of your songs."Ashley said. "Well thats good because it's 9 already and we start in 2 hours."It's amazing"Zac said"What is?"I asked. "Well if any other girls were in your place they porbably wouldn't stop screaming!""Well we truly don't like to scream because were musicans too and well we recorded an independent album and well we kinda know how it feels"Ashley told them"Really yall recorded something cool whats yall's name?"Ike asked. "were called the Carnitaions kinda dorky but oh well."I told them kinda proudly" Cool what do you play?"Tay asked" Well I play the drums and Ashley plays keybord and we usually have an extra musician to play guitar although I do play guitar and piano sometimes"I told them evan more proudly" Really i've never meet another girl drummer before!

"But unfornautly our stuff is at home""Uh well I'll let you borrow my drums and i bet Tay will let you borrow his keyboards"Zac said. "Ya sure i dont mind""Well Ashley we better practice we need lots"

As we practiced Hanson sat in the audience and started clapping to our songs. Ashley and I had about the same amout of songs for solos and duets for were evan on that. And then for their treat we preformed weird and boy were they suprised and Ashley sang on it because her voice is lower. When our last song was done they came up on stage and said "Wow yall are great!!" and of course we said thanks." Hmm well now we have about 30 mins before they let the fans in so we better get ready."Tay said. "Hey Ashley you know those twin outfits we have well I brought mine.""Hey and I brought mine!" "Ya so lets wear them!"

We got to meet all of hanson's family. They are really nice and sweet. I like there little sisters. They are really fun to be with. You can talk about anything with them and they'll listen and comment of stuff. but now it is time time for the show.

We both got on stage. Hanson was on the sidelines. We started out first song it was mine. It was Wind Beneath My wings by Bette Middler. It was going swell and the audience loved us! Our next song was a song Ashley wrote and sings called power. Next was the song was looking through your eyes by LeAnn Rhimes and I sang it. Next was Ashleys last song Be what you want to be a song I wrote and Ashley sang. Last was a song we both sang called friends forever wich we both liked and sang. Now it was our turn to play with hanson. We both got our tambornes and started to play and sing MMMbop ,then weird, Man from Milwaukee and last was Where's the love. We had a blast and afterward people who had bought our independent cd had it and asked us for our autographs while the waited for hansons. Later after everyone was gone Ashley,Zac,Taylor, Isaac and me started to run and around and be crazy! And when we were about to go outside for a picnic they asked us if we wanted to open up for their tour everytime. "Well i'm gonna have to ask my parents, uh could my family come?""Ya shure!""And same with me but my dad works and well he owns this theater but he might get time off!""Thats great because we asked our dad and he said okay because they were so sweet""Ya i'm just so sweet and innocent (in my little southern accent)""Hey thats not bad"Tay said." Can you do anything else?""Oh ya I can do lots!""Do another one"Zac asked. "okay here's my english one.ahem. Why i do declare it is a lovly day for a picnic" For some weird reason they all fall over laughing. Ashley and I are like huh? After our Dinner I asked them if their family would like to come see my house and meet my family. "They said ya we might let us go ask us wait in the audience well be right back"Tay said.
