1ST POV- this ones a long one guys.

Me and the boys rushed to Gustavo's desk and looked at him with anticipation. Gustavo and Kelly don't say anything and just look at us.

"Well?" We asked. Gustavo pulled one box and Kelly pulled another box that had Big Time Rush and my CDs.

"Oh!" Logan stated.

"Schbingo." Gustavo stated as he held their CD and Kelly held mine. We grabbed our CDs and started freaking out.

"And people can buy this...in stores?" Kendall asked.

"Not yet." Kelly said which made us frown in confusion.

"The record company will not release it until they announce your Big Time...tour!" Gustavo told them as he revealed a map with Big Time Rush stickers on it.

"Ahh!"
"What?"
"What?"
"We're going on tour?" They exclaimed.

"Wait why doesn't Hayley go on tour?" Carlos asked.

"Because i got the call from New Town High and got the part. So, I'll be acting while you guys go on your tour." I told them. You could tell they were a little bummed out about me not going on tour with them but nonetheless they understood.

"And your concert along with Hayley's is in two weeks." Gustavo stated. The boys  started to imagine what their concert would be like and moved as if they were performing in front of a crowd.

"Should I tell them that preparing for a concert will be the hardest thing they've ever done? And that it's not in Times Square?"Gustavo asked us.

"Oh, let them have their fantasy." I told him.

"They look happy." Kelly added.

"Fine. I'll give them another minute then I'll burst their bubble." Gustavo stated. The boys continued to imagine their first concert.

—

After Gustavo bursted their bubble, we looked at Gustavo as he was on the stage.

"The concert stage...where you will need intense focus..." Gustavo trailed off.

"Incredible stamina, and..." Kelly trailed off. They both stepped aside and revealed Mr. X.

"Expert knowledge of every inch." Mr. X stated.

"Why are we wearing dog cones?!" Kendall asked as him and the other boys wore dog cones.

"Yeah, how come Hayley isn't wearing one?" Logan asked.

"Because she's a quick leaner and during your concert you got to...look at your fans. Not your feet." Gustavo said into the microphone.

"And to avoid extreme injury, you have to know without thinking, and see without looking." Mr. X told us when he jumped off the stage and stood in front of us. 

"Flippy flip!" He exclaimed making hand motions. When training began, they made the boys stand on the stage.

"What if we have an itch?" Logan asked.

"Don't!" Gustavo exclaimed.

"Places. Focus. Begin." Mr. X stated as he pressed the stereo. The boys did a cool pose before Kendall and James walked into each other which made them stumble back. they did a spin but Logan and Carlos fell onto the drum set.

Mr. X stopped the music and turned to us.
"They actually lasted longer than I expected."

"Again!" He told them. This went on for hours as they kept messing up. At some point Gustavo, Kelly, Mr. X, and I were playing cards. The boys started to get a little better slowly but surely.

"And lastly, the spotlight test." When they got the dancing right and posed. Gustavo brought the spotlight and turned it on but it was too much light considering he blinded them making them fall off the stage.

Gustavo pushed the light off to the side with a heavy sigh as I went to their aid.

"I will x-pediate their training and have them x-ready." Mr. X told Gustavo as he made an X with his arms.

"Great, now let's move on to the hard part of your training." Gustavo told them.

"Awesome."
"Right on."
"Run!" They exclaimed. Kendall grabbed me with one arm and took off with the others. They ripped their dog cones off before dragging me into the closet with them.

"Hiding's not gonna solve anything." Kendall pointed out.

"No, but it will temporarily keep us alive, and I don't know about you but I like living!" James exclaimed.

"I thought training was kind of fun." Carlos said with a smile.

"That's your concussion talking." Logan told him which made Carlos faint.

"Look, guys, Gustavo might be loud, mean, obnoxious, self-absorbed...unattractive." Kendall said which made me give a weird look at the "unattractive" part.

"Get to the point." Logan and James cut him off.

"Put it in hockey terms." Carlos stated as he raised his hand. We helped him up as Kendall gave a speech, "In two weeks, we have the biggest game of our lives. We have to train our butts off for it, or we could lose. No matter how rough the first period was, we have to get back on the ice."

"Hey, you wanna be singers? You wanna be famous? Well that comes with prices to pay and training just happens to be one of them." I told them which gave them even more motivation. That's when a crash came from behind Kendall and i which made us leap back to not get hurt.

"Gustavo wants-" freight train was interrupted by the boys.

"We're coming. We're coming." They stated.

"Really?" Freight train asked making them nod their heads.

"Oh, well...one of you guys want a ride back to the stage?"  Freight train asked us.

"Oh, I'll take one!" Carlos said before hopping into freight train's arms.

—

This time I stood with them on the stage.

"Okay, time for fan preparedness training with the number one teen idol. Dak Zevon." I looked at Kendall to see him roll his eyes as he shook his head.

"Guys, fans are your friends but they can be so frenzied, which is why lesson one of the Zevon method is: proper fan interaction, or P'FIE." Dak told us which made me tilt my head at that abbreviation. That's when he blew a whistle and a swarm of people came and stood at the stage making us back up.

"Okay, now, observe carefully how I demonstrate the mosh pit hand slap." Dak said, now on stage with us. He quickly slapped their hands as he briskly walked.

"Now, James, you try." Dak told him.

"Alright." James said.

"Yeah, James!"
"Let's go, James!" The boys exclaimed.

"You got this, James." I said

As he went to slap their hands but he got pulled into the crowd.

"Oh, no, James!" We exclaimed.

"That was wrong. We'll find James later. Now you guys try it. And remember slap the hands quickly." Dak stated as he stood in front us. We slapped the fans hands quickly as Dak blew his whistle.

"Excellent." Dak stated.

"Yes." The boys simultaneously said as we have high fived each other. The fans threw James back on the stage, he stumbled as he stood up.

"My underwear is gone." He stated after moving his legs.

"Now, security guards will protect you from 99% of the crowd." Dak said as Freight Train stood at the front of the stage keeping the fans at bay.

"But 1% of your fan base will be insane and get to you." Dak stated, a fan girl hopped onto Kendall which made him stumble and run back and forth trying to get her off.

"Oh heck no!" I said before trying to get the fan girl off of him. He wouldn't stop moving which made it difficult for me so I stopped and stood next to Dak.

"What happened to Logan, Carlos and James?" I asked him.

"The fans grabbed their legs and pulled them into the crowd." He answered.

"Oh." I stated.

—

I was standing with Dak, Gustavo and Kelly with Freight Train behind us as the boys were sitting on the couch.

"Boys, I am proud of you!" Gustavo stated. Kendall still had the crazed fan girl on him and the security struggled to get her off.

"Oh, come on." I said before walking over to Kendall and ripping the girls arms off of him making the security guy take her away. After that problem was dealt with I stood next to Carlos' chair.

"This concert is gonna take B.T.R and Hayley Morgan to the next level. And you have your first dress rehearsal in three days." Gustavo told us.

"We want you to invite all of your friends from the Palm Woods so you can practice your stage swagger." Kelly said, showing us V.I.P. badges and threw them to Logan.

"So you're gonna drive us back to the Palm Woods, right?" Carlos asked.

"No. A concert can last two hours, and you'll need more endurance then a marathon runner carrying a cow." Mr. X answered as he made an appearance.

"Which why you'll be running back to the Palm Woods, carrying these microphones." Dak stated as him and Kelly tossed the microphones to us. I caught mine effortlessly while the boys let out a yelp or cry of pain as they caught theirs.

"Move. Move. Move it. Move it." Gustavo instructed into the megaphone. We got up and started running to the palm woods and sang into the microphones.

—

"Are you guys gonna make it the next two weeks to your concerts?" Jo asked as she and Camille handed us waters. The boys dumped their water bottles on themselves which made me quickly get up and stand by the girls.

"Yep. And it's gonna rock!" Kendall exclaimed.

"And you and all the Palm Woods are invited to our dress rehearsal..." Logan stated as he threw Camille the V.I.P. Badges.

"Cool. We're V.I.Ps." Camille told Jo.

"Someday we'll be able to say we knew them when." Jo stated as she smiled at us.

"Hey, someday is today. I have dreamed about this for so long and it's finally gonna happen." James stated. That's when the fangirl from before jumped on James this time. Jo and Camille looked worried but Carlos reassured them,
"Don't worry, it's part of our training."

—

After training a few more sessions we were ready. I'm going to go first for dress rehearsal then the boys will go. I walked on stage and got ready to perform;

"Woah ooooh
Yeah Yeah
I hear melodies in my head
Find little notes in my bed
I've got songs tangled up in my hair
I see piano keys everywhere
My heart is a beating drum
Repeating my favorite song
I hear Beethoven number nine
All the time
And its kind of like do re mi
About as easy as a b c
Beautiful like a symphony
I'm talking about you and me here
I hear melodies in my head
hear melodies in my head
I was a little off key then you
Melodie me and I'm better than ever
I hear melodies in my head
hear melodies in my head
I had the beat a bit wrong
but I got a new song now
So I put my headphones on
plug into you, plug into you
Boy your my favorite song,
plug into plug into you
woah oh woah

I wake up in the middle of the night,
I can't stop all the melodies that
I hear melodies baby
I hear melodies all the time
And I'm about to go crazy,
I keep on singing about you
cause see baby you're my Melodie..
and I I hear melodies in my head
Melodies in my head
I hear melodies in my head
hear melodies in my head
I was a little off key then you
Melodie me and I'm better than ever
I hear melodies in my head
hear melodies in my head
I had the beat a bit wrong
but I got a new song now
So I put my headphones on
plug into you, plug into you
Boy your my favorite song,
plug into plug into you
woah oh woah
I put my headphones on
plug into you, plug into you
Boy your my favorite song,
plug into plug into you
woah oh woah."

I ended with a pose, everyone was applauding which made me smile more. I left the stage and the boys were there with huge smiles.

"So? How did it feel?" James asked.

"So exhilarating. James, you're gonna love it. Now go guys, it's your time to shine." I told them. They quickly high fived me as each of them went on stage. I made my way through the crowd and stood with Camille and Jo. 

"Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
And everyday feels like the other
And everywhere looks just the same
When every dream seems like forever
And your a face without a name
Maybe now is our best chance
To finally get it right
Just look at the world as an apple
And its time to take a bite
Someday it will come together
Someday we will work it out
I know we can turn it up all the way
('Cause this is our someday)
Someday is what we make it
Someday is like here and now
What way what way what way
'Cause this is our someday
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
There are times, times we wonder
Will the spotlight shine on me
Don't let the waves go and pull us under
I missed the opportunity
Don't look down or look back
Its not that far to go
'Cause if we never trap it
We will never really know
Someday it will come together
Someday we will work it out
I know we can turn it up all the way
('Cause this is our someday)
Someday is what we make it
Someday is like here and now
What way what way what way
'Cause this is our someday."

The crowd cheered as they finished their song.

"Watching you boys go from nobodies to somebodies has been more thrilling than hunting humans, which is why it hurts me to say the album, tour, and this concert...are cancelled. So is Hayley's album and concert." Griffin stated, my eyes widened as I looked to him and the boys.

"What?" Gustavo and Kelly exclaimed.

"What?" The boys exclaimed.

"What?" The crowd exclaimed.

"What?" Me, Jo and Camille exclaimed.

"What? I mean yeah, Hayley and Big Time Rush are dead." Griffin said.

—

"What do you mean Hayley and the band are dead?" We asked Griffin as we stood in front of him.

"The accounting has just released their risk and feasibility report on Hayley and Big Time Rush, and they decided it's too risky and not feasible." Griffin told us as his guard threw the report at Gustavo.

"Oh!" Gustavo let out as he caught the report.

"We're shifting our strategy to children's books on tape. No tour support is required, they have a profit margin and are super cheap to make." Boss lady informed us which made us irritated.

"Which is why tomorrow Gustavo will be producing "can you foo?" As read by actor-environmentalist Ed Begley Jr." Griffin stated.

"But, Griffin, this is our someday." James told him.

"Close. This is your last day. Sorry fellas, I like you; I do. But as we say in business...that's business." Griffin said making my heart break but I kept my face somber.

"You can't do this! We've been working our butts off! Our concert is in one week." Gustavo told him.

"Don't worry, that's why I'm giving all of you...fruit baskets." Griffin said.

—

The next day, I was at the pool with Camille and Jo as Kendall and Logan stood in front of us.

"I know this town crushes dreams but not when they're so close to coming true." Camille stated.

"I'm really gonna miss all of this." Kendall stated. I looked at him just when he looked at me.

"I'm also gonna miss...I mean...you know, uh...I'm not good at goodbyes." Kendall told me which made me give him a sad smile.

"Me neither, truth be told. So, here's something to remember me by." I said before pulling him into a long kiss.

"Oh." I heard Camille and Jo let out.

"Wow. She's really good at goodbyes." I heard Camille say. That's when I pulled back and looked at Kendall with a small smile.

"I never thought we would have a last kiss." Kendall stated as we continued to look at each other. A slap made us turn around and look at Camille as Logan was on the ground. Camille shrugged which made Kendall sigh.

"I just can't believe we're going back to Minnesota." Kendall stated. When him and Logan left the pool and I saw James, Carlos, Katie, and mama Knight pass through from the pool. That's when I forget to give Kendall something and say goodbye to the others.

"Wait!" I called out as I ran into the lobby which caught their attention. I hugged Kendall and waved for the rest to join in. We pulled back, I put something in Kendall's hand and closed his hand. He went to open his hand and look at it but I stopped him.

"Don't look at it til you land in Minnesota." I told him with a small smile. He nodded his head even though you could tell he was a little confused. I stepped back from them and waved at them. They sadly smiled back at me and walked out of the lobby. I stood there for a few minutes; tears prickling my eyes but I wouldn't let the tears fall.

I took deep breaths and wiped my eyes before walking back to the pool where Jo and Camille were waiting for me.

3RD POV

In Minnesota, the Knight family and the boys got off the bus and were in front of 'Market Sherwood.'

"Okay...now I believe it." Kendall stated. Remembering Hayley's words; he took out that something she gave him and flipped it around to see it was a photo of her.

He nostalgically smiled at the photo before putting it away.

"This dream is so real. This totally looks like Minnesota." James said in denial as he grabbed onto Kendall and Carlos.

"Kendall, you're back. Can you take the afternoon shift." Kendall's old boss stated as he was rolling the shopping carts.

"I..." Kendall got cutoff by his old boss.

"Great." Kendall's boss said as he gave him his old red apron.

"No!" James screamed as he ran away.

—

Kendall was putting shopping carts away as Katie was trying to sell Big Time Rush merchandise.

"T-shirts! Get your Big Time Rush T-shirts! It's all good for cleaning rags and organic dog food." Katie was talking loudly; trying to get people to buy merchandise.

"Katie. Not helping." Kendall told her.

"Yeah but the pool display is. Whoo! Whoo!" Carlos exclaimed as he was in a kiddie pool.

"If you close your eyes and Carlos splashes water on you, it's like your still at the Palm Woods." Logan stated as he let out a laugh which made Kendall laugh.

"We have to keep the band going. We'll keep rehearsing and get back to L.A. We cannot give up." James said as he walked to Kendall.

"We're not giving up. We're moving on. And I'm not gonna waste a perfectly good day of my life feeling sorry for myself. None of us should." Kendall told them.

"I smell speech." Logan said.

"Logan, was it your dream to be a Hollywood pop star or a doctor?" Kendall asked him.

"A doctor." Logan answered.

"Then call up that prep school you say all the doctors come from and get an interview." Kendall told him.

"Good speech so far." Logan stated as he stood from his chair.

"Carlos, what was your dream?" Kendall asked.

"To be hit by a radioactive meteor and fight crime as...meteor man." Carlos replied and posed as a superhero. Kendall had bewildered look to his face as he looked at James who pointed at Carlos for Kendall to explain.

"Okay, we can work with that." Kendall said.

"Those dreams are stupid! And you're stupid because Gustavo's coming back for us." James told him.

"Coming back? He didn't even say goodbye." Kendall reminded him.

"You're not even fighting for Hayley. So, what kind of boyfriend does that make you?" James asked. That made Kendall's face drop and he was a little mad by what James said.

"Don't bring Hayley into this. And last I checked she said goodbye to all of us and she would want us to move on even if it hurts. So like I said before, don't bring Hayley into this." Kendall snapped.

"Look around, James, there's nobody pulling up in a shiny car offering to make our dreams come true." Kendall continued. That's when a shiny car pulled up in front of them.

"Kendall Knight?" The man asked.

"Yes?" Kendall asked.

"I'm the athletic director at Minnesota university. And this is an invitation to skate with the team on Saturday." The director said as he handed him an envelope. James rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"This is the golden gopher high school all-star skate. How did you?" Kendall went to ask but the direct threw a jersey at him.

"Your mom told me I could find you here. And I hope to see you there." The director stated before the car drove away. The boys laughed in excitement and disbelief but James walked away from them in disappointment.

"This parking lot has been very good to me." Kendall stated with a smile.

"You are all quitters! Big Time Rush is not dead!" James exclaimed before riding his bike away.

—

"Okay, I think I finally got this place cleaned up." Ms. Knight only for their to be boxes everywhere.

"Ugh, Katie, donate these t-shirts and posters to charity!" Ms. Knight exclaimed.

"I will not donate my life savings." Katie told her as she  stood up from behind the boxes and walked away making Ms. Knight walk after her.

"Okay, what's on day three of our 'rebuild our Minnesota dreams' schedule?" Kendall asked Logan.

"10:00 am: get doctor's coat for interview at Crestview. Done.
Noon: super Carlos arrives." Logan stated.

"Never fear! Meteor man is here!" Carlos exclaimed as he made his way through the boxes. Kendall and Logan just stared at him.

"It works." Kendall stated.

"But you can't use meteor man there was a movie in the 90's." Logan countered.

"How about asteroid boy?" Carlos asked still in a superhero pose.

"Catchy." Kendall said.

"Yes, but will work when you're 35?" Logan asked.

"Gugh, it's got to be space-rock-themed, okay?" Carlos told him.
"Now, doctor dude, hockey boy, we must right what we wronged in Minnesota. When we left this great land from the Western Metropolis." Carlos added.

—

"We're so sorry. We-we know we let you down, but we're back, and we want to make it up to you." Kendall said to Mrs. Majakowski.

"I don't need my walkway shoveled now. I needed it last winter, when you boys promised." The Mrs. Majakowski told them.

"What else can we do? Name it." Logan asked her.

"Well, my lawn needs mowing." Mrs. Majakowski stated.

"We'll be here first thing in the morning, Mrs. Majakowski. We promise." Carlos told her.

"And put this on my car. I can't drive anymore, I have to take the bus now." Mrs. Majakowski stated as she gave a for sale sign to them.

Kendall put the sign on the windshield and stepped back. Logan, Carlos, and Kendall looked at the car with nostalgia.

"It's the car that started it all." Logan stated.

"We drove James to that audition with Gustavo in this car." Carlos added.

"And now he's not talking to us." Kendall concluded.

"What do you think James is up to right now?" Logan asked.

"Oh, riding around town, waiting for fame and fortune to hit." Kendall stated.

—

James was riding his bike until he crashed into someone's car.

"UGh." James groaned in pain.  That someone happened to be Hawke.

"James diamond?" Hawke asked before continuing.
"The name's Hawk. Caw!"

—

"The application asks what my biggest weakness is." Logan stated as he read from the pamphlet.

"You can be indecisive." Carlos pointed out.

"Right, I'll put that. Wait, no, should I? I mean, yes, I could put it but I don't even know if I want to put that." Logan rambled proving he was indeed indecisive.
"Weak bladder." He wrote that down. Kendall stopped wrapping his hockey stick with duct tape and went to answer the door.

"Ho-oh! How about comet dude?" Carlos asked.

"Eh..." Logan said which made Carlos think of more superhero names.

When Kendall opened the door he saw Gustavo and Kelly.

"Hello." Gustavo greeted with a wave. Kendall fainted and fell on the boxes.

—

"I'm putting the band back together." Gustavo stated as he held a tea cup.

"And we're doing the concert." Kelly added.

"Yes!" Katie exclaimed as she popped up from the box making everyone look at her before turning back to the conversation.

"So, what do you say, guys? You want to come back to L.A. and take one more shot at the Big Time Rush?" Gustavo asked them. Kendall looked at Logan and Carlos before making an answer.

"No." Kendall said making the tea cup in Gustavo's hand break.

"Gustavo, we're tired of being pushed around. We're gonna be a band. We're not gonna be a band. What you want. What Griffin doesn't want. I want a hockey scholarship." Kendall ranted to Gustavo.

"I want to be a doctor." Logan stated.

"And I want to make the world a safer place." Carlos added.

"You didn't even say goodbye." Kendall reminded him.

"I'm not good at goodbyes!" Gustavo yelled which made Kelly smack his head.

"But I believe in you and you've taught me things, other things that...I'm not good at, like friendship and loyalty...and family." Gustavo told them. He turned to Kelly and asked, "Can-can I stop now?"

"You're doing great." Ms. Knight told him.

"If we go back, our album will be released, right?" Carlos asked.

"Once people see your concert everything else will fall into place. I'm almost positive." Gustavo stated as he stood up from his chair.

"So you want us to pack up everything, again, for a concert that may or may not launch our album." Kendall stated as he stood up from the couch.

"So, we got a deal?" Gustavo asked, unsure of their answer. Kendall took out the picture of Hayley and stared at her for a minute before putting the picture back in his pocket.

"Yep." Kendall, Logan, and Carlos simultaneously said as all of them were up now.

"Yes!" Katie exclaimed.
"Yes!" Gustavo and Kelly exclaimed.

"Okay, let's get James." Kendall stated before they left.

—

"Yeah, sorry, guys. James left an hour ago for L.A. with a producer named, uh...Hawk." James' dad told them. The boys looked at Gustavo with panic.

"No!" Gustavo yelled but sputtered when his throat got dry.

"Water, please." Gustavo asked, Kelly gave him a glass of water. He took a sip before he continued to yell.
"No!"

—

"We are back!" Carlos exclaimed as the boys walked to the studio with Ms. Knight, Katie, Gustavo and Kelly behind them.

"Now, all we have to do is find James and tell him the band's back together, and..." Kendall trailed off as he looked around the place.

"Oh my gosh, the studio's been robbed." Logan stated.

"This looks like a job for...el hombre del flaming space rock man." Carlos said as he revealed the top of his costume.

"Not even close." Logan told him as Kendall made a buzzer sound.

"The studio wasn't robbed." Kelly stated.

"I had to sell everything to buy Big Time Rush from Griffin, including...my mansion" Gustavo started to cry.

"Don't worry, Gustavo. We won't let you down." Kendall reassured him.

"And you can stay with us at the Palm Woods." Ms. Knight told Gustavo.

"Yeah, there's no money for the Palm Woods." Gustavo informed them.

"Then where are we staying?" Katie asked.

"Ehhh." Gustavo let out.

"Welcome to the Rocquewoods. It's not much but...well, it's not much." Kelly said as Gustavo and Kelly showed them where they would be staying. Makeshift beds were in the dance studio.

"And it's only temporary until you guys rock the concert in four days. And Big Time Rush gets some Big Time investors." Gustavo reassured them.

"Then we go on tour, get your album released." Kelly added.

"Then I get my studio and my mansion back." Gustavo finished.

"This'll be fine. We can make this work. And see how positive I'm remaining?" Ms. Knight said as she sat down on a makeshift bed.

"But before we do anything, we need to find James and get rehearsals started up again." Gustavo told them.

"Got it: we'll go straight to the Palm Woods so I can see Hayley." Kendall stated before running out of the studio.

"What he means is, maybe somebody at the Palm Woods has seen Camille-I mean James." He chuckled before leaving too. Carlos looked between the doorway and them.

"This looks like a job for my still unnamed superhero." Carlos stated before jumping into the hallway and falling on his face making everyone slap their foreheads.

—

"This place is so depressing since the guys left." Camille stated as she put her magazine down.

"And the music doesn't help." Jo said which made guitar dude stop playing the somber music.

"Oh, uh, sorry." He told her.

"What's everyone so down about?" Kendall asked as he tried searching for Hayley.

"Kendall?" Jo asked as she stood from her lounge chair.
"Logan!" Camille exclaimed.

"Carlos." Lightening barked as he jumped into Carlos' arms.

"Logan." Camille stated as she hugged him.

"Lightening! Oh! Okay, guys, um, after the concert, I need to get a girlfriend." Carlos stated as he held onto lightening.

"Where's Hayley?" Kendall asked which made Jo and Camille look at each other.

"She's at her apartment." They told him making him nod his head.

"Wait, the concert's back on?" Jo asked.

"As soon as we find James." Logan told them.

"Yeah, has anybody seen him?" Kendall asked.

"Uh, yeah, he's living here in your old apartment." Camille told them. Logan and Kendall looked at each other before looking at them then guitar dude played ominous music which made everyone look at him.

—

"Okay, first James then Hayley." Kendall stated before he rung the door bell which made weird music play. The door opened and an old man revealed himself which startled them.

"May i help you?" The old man asked.

"Yeah, we're looking for James." Kendall told him.

"Do come in." The old man stated as he opened the door wider for them.

"We shall come in." Logan said as the boys walked in their old apartment.

"This is our old apartment?" Kendall asked.

"Irasshainase!" The boys heard from their right making them turn to see two sushi chefs.

"Those are sushi chefs." Logan pointed out.

"Oh! And what happened to swirly?" Carlos asked noticing the swirly slide wasn't there.

"Hey, what are you doing here!-" James enthusiastically went to ask before changing his tone.
"I mean what are you guys doing here?"

"Big Time Rush is back together." Kendall told him.

"Yes, so...let's get dressed and go." Logan added.

"Yeah, and what happened to swirly?" Carlos asked.

"We got to get back to Rocque records to get ready for the concert." Kendall told James.

"Yeah! No. You see, Hawk signed me to a three record deal, modified the crib to suit my personal style, and gave me...Sebastian!" James stated.

"Hot towel, sir?" Sebastian asked as he came over with a tray of hot towel.

"Ooh, why thank you." Logan said as him, Carlos, and Kendall put the towels on their faces making them crumble and scream in pain. 

"Oh, and as I recall you were the ones who told me to get real and move on, so I did." James told them when they got up from the floor.

"Megaphone for emphasis, sir?" Sebastian asked James.

"Ooh, yeah." James said as he grabbed it.
"I rock!"

"James, I was mad, okay? We shouldn't have broken up the band. But we always promised since we were peewee hockey players that we would stick together." Kendall told him.

"Ooh, and you've never broken a promise?"James rhetorically asked. They went to deny until they remembered the promise they made to Mrs. Majakowski.

"We might be horrible people." Logan stated.

"We'll fix it. But first, we need to fix the band. James, we're sorry. Now, let's go." Kendall stated.

"Come on." Logan said. Before they could go anywhere they heard Hawk's voice.
"He's not going anywhere, because he's got everything he needs here. Right, James?"

"Some toys or money, sir?" Sebastian asked James. James put his drink on the tray and picked up a rubics cube.

"You guys told me to move on so...I did." James stated.

"And now my assistant, Rebecca, will show you the door." Hawke stated.

"She's gonna show us to the door?" Carlos asked as the boys didn't believe she could. She laughed fakely before going into a karate stance. She threw Kendall and Carlos out.

"I'm leaving, I'm leaving." Logan said as he rushed out of the apartment. She closed the door on them making them sigh in defeat. They heard a piano playing in Hayley's apartment making them open the door to see Hayley playing the piano and her mom watching her with a small smile. Andrea looked at the door and her eyes widened when she saw the boys. They put their fingers to their mouths for her to not give themselves away. She nodded her head and paid attention once Hayley started to sing,

"I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd
Need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie
Is made up on your side
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missin' you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missin', too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you
I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do
Reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missin' you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missin', too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you
We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were
Yeah, yeah
And all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do, I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe; I need to feel you here with me
Yeah
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missin' you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missin', too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear
Will always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you." She finished with a sad smile.

"That was beautiful, sweetheart." Andrea told her daughter from her spot on the couch.

"I didn't know you missed us that much." Kendall stated making his presence known.

"No way." Hayley whispered as she froze. She turned around and saw her boys. She started to smile as she made her way to them. Hayley hugged Kendall and pulled Carlos and Logan into the hug. They hugged her back with smiles on their faces. Andrea looked at them with a smile because her daughter was happy. 

"I'm so glad you guys are back. Wait, why are you guys back?" Hayley asked as she pulled out of the hug and took a step back to look at them.

"Gustavo's bringing the band back together but We needed to find James." Kendall stated

"Which we did but he doesn't want to come back because Hawk gave him a record deal." Logan added.

"And we need to tell Gustavo the news and figure out what we're going to do next." Carlos concluded.

"Well, let's go." Hayley told them before kissing her mom on the cheek and leaving with the guys.

1ST POV

"What do you mean James isn't coming back?" Gustavo asked the boys. We were having pb&j sandwiches over stacked boxes as a table.

"He got a three-record deal." Kendall told him.

"And he has his own Sebastian!" Carlos added.

"I could get you a three-record deal and a Sebastian." Gustavo stated before asking Kelly,
"What's a Sebastian?" She just mouthed 'I don't know'

"Gustavo, we're eating pb&j's on box furniture." Logan reminded him making him turn to see box furniture everywhere.

"You just have to nail this concert!" Gustavo exclaimed.

"What concert? There's no Big Time Rush without James." Katie stated.

"She's right." I told them pointing to Katie.

"Then we'll find a new James. If he thinks he do without us, then we can do without him." Kendall stated.

"He's right; bands replace members all the time." Kelly agreed with Kendall.

"The Rolling Stones has three guitarists." Ms. Knight pointed out.

"Destiny's child replaced every member except for Beyoncé." Kelly added.

"And there have been three Britney Spears." Gustavo added which made me confused.

"Valid point but no one can beat or have a similar voice as James." I stated which made them nod.

"Wanna bet?" Kendall asked.

"Yeah, winner wins 5 bucks." I told him.

"Deal." Kendall and I shook hands before the boys stood up and simultaneously stated,
"Let's find a new James."

—

The boys, Gustavo, and I were sitting on a box makeshift judge table.

"Okay, guys, time to find new James." Kelly stated behind us.

"Let's do it!" Gustavo exclaimed.
"Alright." The boys said.

The first guy came walking had James' style and did the hand motion he always does but he sang horribly.

"Next!" Gustavo yelled.

The second guy was rapping and was terrible at dancing.

"Next!" Gustavo yelled.

The third guy was Hispanic, playing the guitar, and was singing in a broken English accent.

"Aye caramba." We exclaimed.

"Next!" Gustavo yelled. The next five James wannabes were a disaster. The sixth one was an Oprah singer who cracked Gustavo's glasses with his voice.

"Kelly, is there anybody left in the hallway?" Gustavo asked.

"Just some guy named Skippy Hickenlooper." Kelly answered.

"Okay. Alright." Gustavo stated as we gave up and put our heads on the box table.

"If you want it all, lay it on the line.
It's the only life you got, so you gotta live it big time." The last guy sang which made us pick our heads up and look at him. He dressed like James and did a backflip. We stood up and clapped.

"Welcome to Big Time Rush!" Gustavo exclaimed.

"Yes!" The boys exclaimed.

"Yes!" The seventh James wannabe exclaimed.

"Great audition." Kendall told him before turning to me with his hand held out. I sighed as I gave him 5 bucks which he took with a smile.

"I'm so excited. I must now tell my dark overlord, Zorblok." Seventh wannabe told us before looking to the ground.
"Lord Zorblok, the time of prophecy is upon us.
Bli-bli-bli-bli-bli-bli-bli."

We looked at each other before looking back at him.

"Maybe we can't replace James." Kendall stated.

"I told you so." I told him in a smug tone before holding my hand out for my 10 bucks. He sighed, giving me my 5 bucks back and his 5 bucks.

"Uh, thank you." I stated as I put the 10 bucks in my pocket making him playfully roll his eyes.

"Hey, Big Time Rush is now a trio." Gustavo stated. We agreed before leaving the room.

—

"You wanna be famous

You wanna be the one who's living the life
You wanna be famous

You wanna be the one who's taking a free ride..." the boys were singing as we watched them.

"Stop, stop, stop, stop. Stop!" Gustavo exclaimed making them stop and give him their undivided attention.
"Need I remind you that we have a concert in two days? And I put everything on the line for you, and you stink?"

"Yeah, well, the choreography is completely different with just the three of us." Logan retorted.

"Everything's different with just the three of us." Carlos added with a solemn look.

"Look don't worry. We'll figure this out. Have we ever let you down?" Kendall asked. Gustavo started laughing which made them look at him.
"Have they ever let me down?" He asked us which made Me, Katie, Ms. Knight, and Kelly shake our heads.

"That's not the point. The point is James is never coming back. Now, I don't care what you sing, but look like you're enjoying, or I will destroy all of you!" Gustavo yelled at them. The guys looked bummed out but Kendall eyes lit up.

"Oh, you're such a turd
Oh, yeah, a giant turd
You look like a turd and you smell like a turd
Oh, you're such a turd..."

"Well, they do seem to be enjoying it." Kelly stated. Gustavo just made a face before we continued to watch the boys.

"And you sme-ee-e-ee-ell like a turd." James sang.

"Oh."
"Yes." The boys simultaneously stated.

"Oh my god." I said before running and hugging James.

"I'm gonna be rich!...I mean hooray for friendship." I heard Katie say. I let go of James as the boys came and greeted him with open arms.

"Big Time Rush is back together-whoo!" Carlos exclaimed.

"Yeah, I felt bad knowing how much you all missed me." James stated as he put his arm around Carlos' shoulder.

"And you're not gonna miss the cool pad, the hot towels, and Sebastian?" Logan asked.

"Yes, no, and yes." James answered.

"Well don't sweat it because once we nail this concert, we're gonna go back to the Palm Woods and get our own Sebastian, right?" Kendall asked Gustavo.

"And what about Hawk?" Kelly asked.

"We'll talk about your Sebastian later. And we've got bigger problems than Hawk as in the concert is in two days. And we haven't sold a single ticket and all the posters are now wrong!" Gustavo exclaimed. We looked at the poster which contained the three of them with the concert info.

"Don't worry, Katie will donate her posters." Ms. Knight stated showing the poster that had all four of them.

"No I won't." Katie said.

"Katie donate them!" Ms. Knight yelled.

"Okay!" Katie exclaimed. She then wore a Big Time Rush t-shirt and cap.

"But I get concession space for my hats and T-shirts." Katie stated.

"Deal." Gustavo stated then asked,
"Kelly, what money do we have left in the budget for street team advertising and local tv spots?"

"We got 5 bucks and a punch card for one free Schmetzel's pretzel." Kelly told him which made him make a face.

"We'll go back to the Palm Woods and get some street team volunteers." Kendall stated.

"And I think I may know a way we can get some free tv spots." Logan added.

"Well, what are you waiting for? I can't sell this band to investors if we don't sell out the concert. Go! Go! Go! Go! Get out of here!" Gustavo exclaimed making us run out of here.

—

Me and Kendall put Big Time Rush and my posters on the brick wall next to the music box. We stood back and looked it before rushing to our next spot.

At another brick wall that had papers on it; I put the poster on while Kendall put a sticker on it that said the time on it. Kendall dumped more posters which we planted all over the papers.

Kendall was having trouble with his so I pushed him out of the way and put one on.

I was on Kendall's shoulders putting more posters on the wall before going to the next spot.

After posting more posters we met the others at the music box and looked to see tickets were sold out.

"YES!" All of us cheered.

—

I stood on the stage with the boys as everything was getting prepared for the concert.

"Okay, all that is left to do is-oh, right-the concert." Gustavo stated.

"Gustavo..." Kendall started.

"Have we ever let you down?" The boys asked as they did a pose.

"I'll let you know after tonight. Now, get your butts to the dressing room and get ready to rock this place for your fan and my big investors." Gustavo told us. The boys rushed to theirs as I rushed to mine. I walked into my dressing room and grabbed my outfit but before I could do anything I was grabbed roughly.

"Wha-" I got cut off by someone covering mouth; I was muttering into the persons hand as they dragged me out of my dressing room. I was relentlessly trying to get out of their grip which made them tighten their hold on me. They dragged me to the boys dressing room which confused me. Next thing I know, I'm being thrown into the boys dressing room.

"And Hayley's here?" Kendall stated in confusion. We heard a clanking noise and the room started to rumble.

"And it's rumbling." Carlos stated. I stood up and turned around to see some chick.

"Make yourselves at home boys and Hayley." The chick told us before closing the back.

"And it's a trap!" Logan stated making us run and bang on the back of the truck.

—

We were all tied to chairs in some abandon warehouse.

"Are-are you gonna kill us?" James asked Hawk and Rebecca. Yeah, the boys told me who she was.

"Don't be stupid." Hawke stated making them sigh in relief.
"But when Hayley and Big Time Rush misses their first concert and tour. Their music careers will be dead." Hawk said which made James scream.

"And more importantly so will Gustavo's chances of ever topping me on the charts again." Hawk added.

"We'll tell Gustavo where to find you and your phones once the crowd boos and abandons the concert." Rebecca said as she held our phones. God her voice is annoying; I can't wait to punch her in the face.

"When you mess with the Hawk you get all ten talons." Hawk told us as he stepped closer to us.

"Hawks actually have eight talons." Logan corrected him.

"I don't care!" Hawk exclaimed making the boys lean back while I remained unfazed.

"Ok, just telling you." Logan stated.

"But I do want to catch your concert so I don't miss the look on Gustavo's face when he loses everything." Hawk stated as he let out caw sounds.

"Thanks for the villain monologue. I will deal with you when I eventually get out of here." I told him making him stop and look at me. I gave him a sarcastic smile as he walked to me and leaned his face towards mine.

"Well, you're never getting out of the ropes since they're so tight. You should be scared knowing that your music career will end along with theirs." Hawk said making me drop my smile and spit in his face. As he backed away from me to wipe his face, Rebecca came over probably to harm me but he stopped her.

"No. No. We don't harm them not unless you want to deal with lawsuits." Hawk told her before walking away. She glared at me before walking after him.

"Woah, I can't believe you spit in Hawk's face." Carlos said with admiration.

"Well, he was annoying me." I told him.

—

"Help!" The boys were screaming.

"Don't worry best friends of mine, this looks like a job for..." Carlos trailed off and started to move his chair.

"Carlos, not now." Kendall told him.

"Yes, now. 'Cause it's time...for..." Carlos kept moving his chair closer to the stairs.

"Carlos!" I worriedly called out to him.

"I can do this!" Carlos exclaimed.

"Carlos, you don't understand." Logan told him.

"No, you don't understand." Carlos retorted.

"Carlos, we're trying to help you!" Kendall exclaimed.

"I'm trying to help you." Carlos argued.

"You're not looking where you're hopping!" James exclaimed.

"I can do this. It's time for..." Carlos let out a scream as he fell down the stairs. We winced as we heard him shout and things break.

"Well, we tried to tell him." Logan stated, we nodded our heads in agreement. Carlos jumped up from the stairs; unscathed and free.

"Ha! You really are a superhero." James told him.

"No, I'm a pop star...who wants to rock that concert, get our album released, and get chased by lots of girls." Carlos stated.

"Then untie us!" Kendall exclaimed which made him untie Kendall as we rushed him to hurry up.

—

We ran to a bus stop far away from that warehouse. We looked up and saw we were downtown.

"Oh, we're downtown! We're never gonna make it to the concert in time." Logan stated in a rushed tone.

"No concert means no album means no Big Time Rush." James stated.

"And no to my music career." I added. That's when a limo pulled up in front of us.

"Anyone need a ride to the Big Time Rush concert?" Sebastian asked as he rolled the window down.

"Sebastian? You-you work for Hawk." James stated.

"I quit. Now, get in." Sebastian told us. We hurried inside the car.

—

We were stuck in traffic which made us uneasy and panic more. Kendall checked Carlos' watch and showed me and Logan the time.

"Oh, how I hate L.A. traffic...and superficiality...and-" Sebastian was interrupted.

"Sebastian, we're late!" We exclaimed as we cut him off.

"We've got to get there! Just, please!" James pleaded.

"I'm going to lose my California limousine license for this." Sebastian stated, we looked at him confused. Soon enough, we were zooming which made us let out a yell as we held on to each other for dear life.

—

We arrived at the music box and went our separate ways to quickly change.

We met up behind stage and caught Gustavo just in time as he was about to fall.

"We got you. We got you." We simultaneously told him.

"Sorry, we're late, Gustavo." Kendall told him.

"Yeah, we got a little tied up." Logan stated as we looked at Rebecca and Hawk who were flabbergasted at our presence.

"The people are leaving." Carlos pointed out as we watched people start to leave.

"We're gonna need some microphones." James said which made Kelly give us microphones.

"Gah! Do something!" Hawk ordered Rebecca who got into a karate stand. I rolled my eyes,  walking up to her and punched her in the face successfully knocking her out.

"How towel, sir?" I heard Sebastian ask as he threw one at Hawk who crumpled to the ground. We laughed as we continued to watch him suffer.

"Hit it!" Gustavo exclaimed. I started whistling as I ran to the stage and quickly High fived some fans,

"Never knew the sting of a stranger
Never felt the words like a razor
But I won't give a damn 'bout it later
All the little digs doesn't matter
Writin' down a brand-new chapter
Where there's only love, never anger
So lonely in your bed
Does breakin' me make you feel good?
Guess you don't understand
What goes around, comes around
Don't ya know that I'm stronger?
Don't ya see me in all black?
Don't ya cry like a baby?
Ha-ha-ha, ha, ha-ha-ha
Who's laughing now?
Know that it's over
Don't ya know I won't call back?
Don't ya cry like a baby?
Ha-ha-ha, ha, ha-ha-ha
Who's laughing now?

You'll never see me blue, never bleedin'
Hope you understand how I'm feelin'
I'm turnin' off my phone like I'm leaving (bye)
Pushed me to the edge, now it's over
Shuttin' off the hate, gettin' closure
This will be the dust when I'm older

So lonely in your bed
Does breakin' me make you feel good?
Guess you don't understand
What goes around, comes around
Don't ya know that I'm stronger?
Don't ya see me in all black?
Don't ya cry like a baby?
Ha-ha-ha, ha, ha-ha-ha
Who's laughing now?
Know that it's over
Don't ya know I won't call back?
Don't ya cry like a baby?
Ha-ha-ha, ha, ha-ha-ha
Who's laughing now?
Ha-ha-ha, ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha, ha, ha-ha-ha
Who's laughing now?"

It's comical, hysterical
So ridiculous, think you messed me up
Don't ya know that I'm stronger?
Don't ya see me in all black?
Don't ya cry like a baby? (Oh)
Ha-ha-ha, ha, ha-ha-ha
Who's laughing now?
Know that it's over
Don't ya know I won't call back? (Call back)
Don't ya cry like a baby?
Ha-ha-ha, ha, ha-ha-ha
Who's laughing now?"

I ended with a pose as I breathed heavily. The audience started clapping which made me smile.

"Thank you. Thank you. Now, give it up for...Big Time Rush!" I exclaimed into the microphone. I walked off the stage as i high fived the boys as they ran up the stage.

They started to perform,

"Do you want to ride in a big limousine?
Tell me do you want to take a little bite of the fame machine?
If you wanna be discovered and end up on the
Cover of every star-studded supermarket magazine
You can do it
Stick right to it
It could happen tonight
You wanna be famous (famous)
You wanna be the one who's living the life
You wanna be famous (famous)
You wanna be the one who's taking a free ride

All day, all night the camera's on and it never lies
You're under the spotlight twenty-four seven til the end of time
Whoa, oh
You wanna be famous (famous)
Whoa, oh
You wanna be famous
You wanna be famous (famous)
You wanna be the one who's living the life
You wanna be famous (famous)
You wanna be the one who's taking a free ride
You wanna be famous
Your song is on the radio
Hot rotation video
Bright lights, fan mail
Paparazzi on your tail
Tour bus, private jet
Thinking big ain't failed you yet
Just one thing you can't forget
Takes more than just wanting it
Aim high, never rest
Put your passion to the test
Give your all, never less
Famous means that you're the best."

The boys ended with a pose making the audience applaud even more. I walked back up stage and stood in between James and Kendall. We smiled at each other before smiling at the crowd. That's when the fans climbed on the stage which made us run for our life.

"I think that went well!" Kendall exclaimed as we were running.

"We're gonna be famous!" James exclaimed.

"And get our album released!" Kendall exclaimed.

"And have our own Sebastian!" Carlos exclaimed.

"Yeah about that..." Kendall trailed off.

"What?!" Logan exclaimed.

"How did I get dragged into this?!" I asked as I ran with the boys to get away from the fans chasing us.
