Chapter 2
Joe and Dani were doing yoga on the back porch, while Nick and Kevin were eating at the table. Joe and Dani were doing one of those partner moves, and Kevin was reading a magazine.
The doorbell rang. "Mom's not going to get that, is she?" Joe asked.
"Rights of freedom, my man." Kevin replied, flipping through the magazine.
Dani smiled and let go of Joe. "I'll get it."
She headed to the door and opened it. When she opened it, she screamed. "Dann-ie! Whass up, my girl?" a loud and annoying voice said.
Joe came running to the door with a bat. "Back off! She's a minor!"
A red-headed guy raised his hand in surrender and walked in. "Whoa chill dude." He had a basket of muffins in the other hand.
"JONAS IN THE HIZZZ!" the kid yelled.
Big Man came out of nowhere. "No strangers in dah houzeee."
"Oh...I'm not a stranger...I live next door." He smiled at everyone. "The haters call me...Dennis Zimmer...but the players...they call me DZ."
"You brought muffins." Kevin stole the muffin basket.
Big Man stole the basket next. "Let me run these to the lab..." He walked off, starting to eat one.
"So!" DZ clapped his hands together. "When's the party?"
"What party?" Joe had his arm around Dani protectively.
He laughed and mumbled something. "Let me break it down to you, okay guys? In L.A, if you don't throw a party, you don't get invited to the parties. Then the paparazzi forgets you. Then the media forgets you. Then the fans forget you."
Dani squirmed in fear of both this guy and her brothers' decrease in fame. "How do you know so much about this?" Joe asked.
"I watch a lot of 'Where Are They Now?' shows..." DZ said quietly.
"I actually think this SneeZee guy has a point."
"DZ." he corrected. "Gracias." He went to sit on the couch.
"Look..." Nick turned to Joe, Kevin and Dani. "If this is the way this town works...I say 'bring it'. We're known for our parties, right?"
"I thought you were known because all the girls think you're cute." Dani put in.
"True that," Joe chuckled, and patted her head.
"Hey." Nick looked over at DZ. "Thanks for the tip. We're gonna announce ourselves with authority. I'll take care of the guest list."
"I'll take care of the music!" Kevin offered.
"I'll take care of my looks." Joe said.
"Nice Joe...way to be a team player." Nick rolled his eyes at him.
"Hey. Gotta look good for Macy."
Dani smiled and patted him on the back. "I'll help." She said to Nick and Kevin.
"Oh!" DZ stood up. "What can I handle?"
Big Man came and handed DZ the basket. "Refill...this..."
Joe and Dani walked down the sidewalk window-shopping for potential outfits.
"Have you called Macy yet?" Dani asked.
"No." He looked at his watch. "You think she's off the plane now?"
Dani rolled her eyes. "Joe, their plane came two hours ago."
He smiled sheepishly. "Oh...right."
He took out his phone and dialed her cell. When it got to her answering machine, he left a message.
"Hey Mace. Hope you landed okay. Anyway, we're throwing a party tonight. Can't wait to see you-"
"Hi Macy!" Dani shouted.
Joe rolled his eyes. "And Dani can't wait either."
"Can't wait to tell you in person that, you're dating a dork!" Dani interrupted again.
"Anyway," Joe said loudly. "Hope to see you there. Bye."
He hung up and gave his sister a glare.
"Thanks a lot," he said sarcastically.
"Hey, I did both of you a favor." Dani defended. "You would've gone farther about how much you miss her and how much you love her oh-so dearly."
"So?" Joe asked.
Dani stared at him. "Joe, after hearing about it for the first ten...no, million times, it gets old fast."
Joe glared. "Yeah, wel-"
He didn't get to finish, because he didn't see where he was going and bumped into someone.
"Oh. Sorry." Joe said.
"It's fine. I'm fine." the person said.
Joe took a look at the person.
"Wow. You're Joe from JONAS." she said.
"Vanessa Page?" Joe took a look at her.
Dani looked at him. "Who?"
Joe covered her mouth with his hand and smiled at Vanessa. "Your show rocks." he told her. "Me and my brothers never miss an episode of Malibu High."
Dani mumbled incoherent words and Joe's hand was still firm on her mouth.
Vanessa smiled. "Thank you so much. Because I love your work."
Dani snickered quietly and Joe gripped tighter.
"Seriously?" Joe asked, ignoring his sister for a moment.
"So seriously. Your last album helped me get through a really bad haircut." Vanessa replied.
Joe smiled. "Glad I could help."
Dani rolled her eyes and bit Joe's hand with her teeth.
"Ow!" He pulled his hand away.
Vanessa noticed her and smiled. "Oh, and who's this?"
"Dani. JONAS's little sister." Dani told her, casually.
Joe could sense her getting really ticked off and turned to Vanessa. "Um, well it was nice meeting you, but we have to go shopping."
"Ooh, I have an idea. How about we go shopping together?" Vanessa suggested, smiling.
Dani glowered. She knew she was gonna be the third wheel in this very soon.
Joe bit his lip looking at his sister, then the actress. "Um, I'd love to-"
"Great!" Vanessa smiled and led the way.
Joe looked over at his sister. If looks could kill, he probably be dead right now.
"It's just one shopping trip." Joe assured her.
"You owe me." Dani said, and walked where Vanessa went.
Joe let out a sigh and followed.
