Recap: Some boy named Aaron just texted Marie, trying to get ahold of Alyssa and for some reason this bothered Nick\"Ooo! Who\'s Aaron? Is he your boyfriend?\" Joe asked.\n\"No, he\'s just a friend. We don\'t have boyfriends,\" Alyssa told him. Nick looked relieved.\nJoe just nodded. \"So, where are we anyway?\" he asked.\n\"The middle of the boondocks,\" Marie replied.\n\"AKA Nowhereville USA?\" Nick suggested.\n\"Yup.\" Mariepushed her bike into the ditch by the mailboxes. Only a quarter mile left to go. She pulled out her cell phone and went to sounds. \"One of my friends put my dance song on here,\" she explained.\nShe played Trashin\' the Camp from the musical Tarzan. The song was interrupted by Hey There Delilah when Aaron texted her again. All it said was \"what?!\" Marie turned her phone off.\n\"So why are you guys doing a concert in Madison? We never heard about it,\" Alyssa asked.\n\"It was supposed to be a surprise visit,\" Kevin explained. He loosened his scarf thing tied around his neck.\n\"What are you wearing?\" Marie asked.\n\"It\'s a table cloth,\" Joe cut in.\n\"Ha ha. No. It\'s a bandana thing.\" Kevin pulled it off and shoved it in his pocket.\n\"Oh. This is my grandparents\' house.\" Marie pointed to the tan comfortable looking house. She led the way to the front porch and then inside.\nInside, the house was cool anddark, which was welcome after their long walk.\nAlyssa sighed heavily and stretched out on one of the couches in the living room. Marie showed the Jonas Brothers around the small house. They each picked their own room. Then Marie went out to the living room while they put their stuff away and got changed into something more suitable for the weather.\nNick was the first one back in the living room. Kevin was next and Joe was last.\nMarie checked the clock. It was 12:30.\n\"Do you guys want to go over to my house for lunch?\" Marie asked.\n\"I\'m starving! Let\'s go!\" And they all had to agree with Joe.The walk to Marie\'s house was both short and shady. Huge oak trees were spread along the way. Marie\'s house was a lot bigger than her grandparents\'. (It was also yellow with a light green tin roof.) Despite the size, the house was still crowded. In the living room were three chairs, two couches, aloveseat, a fish tank, a computer, a piano, and a drumset. To get to the kitchen they had to walk through the living room, the pool (billiard) room, and the dining room.\n\"What do you want to eat?\" Marie asked.\n\"Mac and cheese, please!\" Joe said in a little kid-ish voice.\n\"Is that okay?\"\n\"Yeah,\" everyone replied.\nMarie put water on to boil and then ran upstairs. She came back down right away carrying a fat orange and white cat.\n\"Meet Franklin, my sister\'s cat.\" Marie set the cat in Joe\'s lap. Franklin looked at him and started purring.\n\"Ha ha! He sounds like a boat!\" Joe started scratching thecat\'s ears. It purred louder.\n\"Isn\'t Franklin a turtle and GARFIELD a cat?\" Kevin asked.\n\"Yeah, but remember, he\'s my sister\'s cat.\" Marie sat down on the floor because all the other chairs were taken.\n\"Can I hold the kitty?\" Alyssa asked Joe. Joe handed him over. Alyssa hugged the cat and rubbed under his chin.\n\"Cats or dogs?\" Marie asked suddenly.\n\"Ummm... I like cats a little bit more,\" Kevin confessed.\n\"Either or,\" Joe admitted.\n\"I like dogs a little bit more...\" Nick said. He stood up and took Franklin from Alyssa.\n\"Cats!\" Alyssa said happily.\nMarie looked thoughtful. \"Animals. Dogs justa little bittle more,\" she decided.\nThe water started to boil so Marie added the noodles and set the timer for seven minutes.\n\"So what are we gonna do today?\" Joe asked.\nThe phone started to ring. Marie answered it. \"Hello?... Nothing, just hanging out... Me, Alyssa, and the Jonas Brothers... Really?! When?... Can we sleep at Grandma\'s tonight? Otherwise it\'ll be too crowded... Okay, bye.\" Marie hung up the phone.\n\"What was that about?\" Alyssa asked.\n\"My mom cheching in. My cousins Kylie and Chelsea are going to be here by five!\" Marie grinned as she stirred the noodles. \"Oh,\" she added, \"we have to feed calves though?\" She made a face.\n\"Can we help?\" Nick asked.\n\"If you really want to?\"\n\"Okay.\"\nThe buzzer went off and Marie finished making the macaroni. \nOnce they were done eating, Joe asked, \"So, now what do we do?\"\nMarie and Alyssa exchanged glances. \"We could go swimming...\" brothers, For, jonas, love, of, OneTrueMedia, the
