“So, you want to do beach themed? I mean, what all does that entail?” Peyton asked, as the three girls sat in Katie’s office. Elisabeth sat in Katie’s chair with Isabella in her lap. Peyton sat in one of the chairs on the other side of the desk. Katie was writing on one of her red office walls with a black Sharpie.
“It was just an idea. It’s almost May now, so if we decide to do it in July, that gives us almost two months.” Katie said. “We’ve been done painting for a week, so a lot of the major remodel work is done. There’s not a lot left to do.”
“But, what about the Grand Reopening?” Elisabeth asked.
“I just figured it would be them playing some songs and it would be just like a giant luau.” Katie explained, looking at the wall. She had just finished writing the lyrics to ‘Hello, Beautiful’ on the wall by the door.
“Have the guys agreed to perform?” Peyton asked.
“Not yet.” Katie replied. “They have already done a few thumb wrestling competitions to figure out what they want to do.”
“Have you even fully thought this crazy harebrained idea of yours through? What if they decide to go on tour? Will you go with them? Can we go with them? If you let all of us join them, what will we do with the store? What are you going to do with Bella? What if you get pregnant while on tour?” Elisabeth asked.
“Okay, so I haven’t fully thought it all through. But, whatever they guys choose, we’ll be okay with it. We’ll figure everything out. This is something that it’s okay not to know all the answers to.” Katie answered. “Besides, Kevin keeps coming up with all these random questions at random moments. Last night, he woke me up at one in the morning to ask if I knew if we should get a tutor and keep Frankie with us at all times.”
“You two have a very strange relationship.” Peyton replied, as Katie started writing something else on the wall.
“Do you think they’ll really go back on tour?” Elisabeth asked, as the store phone rang.
Peyton answered and quickly put the phone on speaker. “First off, let me say happy second anniversary to Sil and Kevin.” Joe’s voice said, as Nick’s laughter was heard in the background.
“Thank you Bil.” Katie said, not tearing her eyes away from the lyrics she was writing on the wall.
“Bil, Sil.” Nick chuckled as he spoke into the phone. “Hey, are you guys sitting down?” He asked.
“All but your sister.” Peyton answered.
“I’m in the middle or something.” Katie replied.
“Writing the lyrics to ‘Inseparable’ is going to wait.” Elisabeth said, watching Katie groan and walk over to the desk. She took a seat in the empty chair by Peyton.
“I’m sitting, why are we sitting?” Katie asked.
“Because we’re getting you ready for a surprise.” Kevin said, as the office door opened.
Joe hung up his cell phone while Peyton took their phone off the speaker. The three guys took off their sunglasses while Nick pulled out a map and a piece of paper.
“What’s all that?” Elisabeth asked.
“It is the plan for the Jonas Brother’s new tour.” Joe said.
“Starting with your grand reopening party.” Kevin added.
“This means you three girls have a band to call.” Nick finished.
“You guys are doing it?” Peyton asked.
“We’re doing it.” Kevin replied.
“And, Nick and I know about the baby.” Joe added. “Or what would have been our two year old niece or nephew.”
“You will have to be very careful if you get pregnant. I’m not helping deliver a baby on a tour bus.” Peyton said.
“Well, we thought about it and we wanted to start small. We want this tour to mostly be clubs and such.” Nick said.
“Ah, are we going in a van?” Katie asked.
“What’s wrong with that?” Joe asked.
“I’m driving the Jeep.” Katie said, getting up and going back to work on the wall.
