As we stood in line we looked at all of the deals on the other roller coaster around the world "Hey that one looks cool!"I yelled! "uh this one has a 50 foot drop"Zac said "Uh haha I would not go on that"I told him "Ya me either". He said to me. We finally got on the ride. We started up the mountain. "Hey look it says only the brave go on here! Ya were brave!"I yelled "Ya were Totally BRAVE!!"Zac yelled. "AHHHHHHHHHHH!"We both screamed as we went down the hill and over more. "Oh man I got soaked on that ride"Taylor said "Ya me 2 but wasn't that fun?"Ashley asked us." Ya it was cool!"I yelled "Uh why don't we go on the Nightmare next?"I asked. "Ya that ride is awsome!"Zac told us. We ran all the way to the nightmare. Luckly the park wasn't that full so we got on fast. It was so fun and again I say by Zac. It was so awsome we went straight down and over lots of hills and around and around and around till we got dizzy."Hey why don't we get our pictures taken next?"I asked "What do you mean?"Isaac asked. "Well they have this picture deal that you can dress up and take picture like they used to it's really fun camon lets go!"I told them. "Hey mom can we go get our pictures taken?"I asked beggingly. "Okay uh how about yall all get one picture togther and seperate pictures too?"Dianna asked. "Ya thats cool!"Taylor said. "OKayz lets go!"Ashley yelled as we ran.

When we got to the place the people told us what we could pick from. We were gonna get 3 pictures one was Ashley and me togther (were gonna be suthern girls) and then Isaac, Taylor and Zac in one(they're gonna be something) and then all 5 of us togther (were gonna be like saloon people) We got our costumes and went to get dressed. Ashley and i had beautiful dresses for our first ones. We also got big hats and umbrellas. I walked out and said "why look at me i'm just a little souther bell" Everyone laughed. I love to be funny. "hello gentlemen my name in Elliy may""Hi my names Jethro"Zac said. We all started laughing. "Okay now here's your spots uh sweetie can you move over ya thats perfect."The lady said. She took the picture and we changed into our "Saloon Girl"outfits. We came back out in time to see the Boy's first picture we giggled can it was rather funny. "HEY CUTIES WHERE YA'VE BEEN ALL MY LIFE"I yelled really loud. Everyone on the sidelines watching cracked up. Lots of hanson fans and Carnation fans had come to see us. Me and Ashley started doing the Can Can and singing it. We saw so many camera's flashing it almost blinded me. "Okay guys get changed for your next deal"The guy photographer said. they went and got changed while we got our head geer and stuff. We both got feathers for our hair and we got fans of feathers and they gave us garders. When they came out I saw Zac blushing again. "Man I feel weird wearing this"I said. "Wearing what."Taylor asked. "This garder is not cumfy.""Oh okay" he said. They told Ashley and me to get up on this ledge and for the guys to stand up. They got guns and beer bottles . "Okay now girls kinda hike up those dresses so we can see the garders."They dude said. we did hey he told us to. We all posed and then took it. "Man this dress itches"I said. "So does these pants"Zac and Taylor said.

"Lets get something to eat."Isaac said "ya i'm hungry too"I told everyone. "Oky well Tammy i'm gonna give you some money so yall don't have to worry about us."my mom said. "Okay thanks mom"I yelled as I ran away with the money. We stopped at a little burger joint and ate. Then we played games so the food would digest. "Hey lets go on the silver bullet next."Taylor said. "Okay that looks fun"I yelled "lets go!"Zac said. And again guess who I sat but? Give up Zac yep Zac again. This day was gonna be so fun although I spent all of my moms' money they next day was gonna be brighter.

"Hey Tammy there's something in the mail addressed to you"My mom yelled. I got the letter it was addressed from Mercury records. I sent them our indepent recording to check it out. I opened the letter as fast as I could. Dear Ms. Smith, blah blah blah OH MY GOD!!!"Mom they want to sign me and Ashley up oh my GOODESS!!""Hey whats all the racket about?"Zac asked. "Well see I wrote Mercury Recoreds and gave them our Cd and asked to check us out and they want to sign us up for a contract!!!!""Really wow you guys made it"He said as he hugged me. "Hey mom I'm gonna go tell Ashley uh tell the others if they come to.. I ran outside as quickly as I could.Knock Knock "Ashley open up i got some good news"" what is it?""Mercury Records wants to sign us up and they want to be there tomorrow to sign it!!!""OH MY GOD!!! Were gonna make a record!!!"We danced and danced and danced. And we ran to my house where we were geeted by so many Congradulations and wow were on the same label. "Uh but you see they want us to be there tomorrow"Well we better get packed and ready."My mom said. "Uh well actually you already have tickets because tomorrow both bands are gonna be on the Rosie show and I got tickets because they rote me telling me the news."Walker said. "WEll we better get packed we have a long trip tomorrow"Diana said.

It was 6 in the morning when our flight left. We had one of those big rows in those big planes. I was sitting in the middle. Ashley was beside me and so was Zac. I was drawing while listening to music and so was Zac. What I diddn't know is that I was singing along to it. Ashley told me I was and I quited down. But I was just so excited.

We got to N.Y.C around 11 and rushed to our hotel because we were suppose to be there at 12 and so we unpacked and got in a Cab and left. We got there around 12 and when we got there the studio was packed with signs for hanson and us suprisingly. "Hello guys again and this must be Tammy and Ashley""Yes were the Carnations ""I heard about your contract with mercury congradulations""Thanks Rosie"Ashley said. They put 5 chairs out there because hanson was going to come out first and then we were gonna join them. Well we were waiting backstage so nervously. We were wearing the same outfits and our bestfriend necklace and i was also wearing the necklace that Zac gave me . Appearntly it was giving me good luck. "Okay now time to meet the band witch is opening up for hanson and is going to get their own album pretty soon it's the Carnations"We ran out and sat by Rosie" SO where are yall from""Well were from Tulsa"I told her. "Really did you ever know them before no but they do live near us but no we never did"Ashley said. "Well do you know what the album is gonna be called yet? and when your gonna work on it.""Well no we don't know the Tile because well we just signed up and we have to write more songs and then like uh write all this stuff but for a little while were gonna not be touring with hanson because we'll be recording"I said in practally one breath. "So do you like any of the guys in this group""I have no comment on that"I said "Me either"everyone laughed. "I'm not gonna tell because they right here"I explained."Oh I can understand that so what instruments do you play?""I play the drums and Ashley plays the keybord and Mostly Hanson does help us out by like the background vocals and maybe some music too""And how old are you?"Were both 13""Oh and aren't they just Cootie Patooties?""I hope so you know I just hope so""So all the guys are probably asking themselves this but have you ever had boyfriends?""Uh no both of us haven't""Not unless you count online boyfriends i've had lots of those""Uh actually were gonna stop touring until their record is gone because were gonna like sing with them and actually were gonna do some duets and trios"Taylor told everyone"Really well thats gonna be exciting""Oh Tammy thats a pretty necklace you have there wher'd you get that?""Well actually Zac gave it to me for my birthday""Oh how sweet ain't he sweet""Ya he's very sweet actually they all are they seem just like brother I never had"I said "So what other family members do you have"Well I have 2 brother Travis and Thomas uh Travis is married and is a very suscessful buisness man and Thomas is 3" I told everyone"Ya and i'm an only child so it's intresting around my house""Well uh whos gonna play what?"Rosie asked"Well first hanson is gonna play and then us and then a little duet that we have made." "Okay yall ready to play?"Ya"We all said" Okay first hanson is gonna play River"We got to our tamborines and started while they sang. "Next it's the Carnations playing your my lover. We played and did very good I sang hehe. Next it was Zac and me's duet to a Whole new World. And then we left to go to mercury records to sign.

We got there and we signed and they were suprised to see hanson here. He signed up to do 7 records and about 19 singles. They said that we would start recording in December and It was almost december in fact in 2 weeks. We thought we would stay in N.Y.C for 2 weeks and then go to L.A to go record. Tonight we were gonna see the Phatom of the Opera. It was beautiful and I saw Zac peeking at me a couple of times. That night after the show we ate at a replica of the Brown Derby (I forgot what it was called) When we got to the hotel we were all exhausted. Me and Ashley were sharing a room and and next door was Isaac Taylor and Zac. Me and Ashley sat in our room trying to think of songs we thought of 3 and then went to bed. "Hey Tam I think Zac likes you""Why?""Well he's always staring at you and blushing I think he totaly likes you.""Well I think taylor likes you because he was always asking you on those rides rember?""Hey look at this picture we took I just noticed something."Ashley told me."What is it ?""Well in this picture there is something written on Zac and Taylor's hands I can't read it but it says something.""Well hey I know a person who can see it well and he lives in N.Y.C."Lets go check it out tomorrow."She said "Okay well night Ash.""Okay night Tam and How about we go shoping too?""Okay."
