**I do not own Big Time Rush or any of the characters...except Annabel :)**

Chapter 1: No Idea

Ding ding! Annabel rang the bell on the counter in the lobby of Roque Records.

"Be right with you!" She heard a male call in a British accent. A slender tall man with short blonde hair appeared from behind the counter with a clipboard in his hand and a pen behind his ear, "How may I help you sweetheart?"

"Umm, yes, I'm Annabel. I am scheduled to work for Mr. Gustavo Roque today." She fumbled with her own clipboard and handed the man her schedule.

He read it over before eying her down, "Yes, of course." Then he whispered, "How old are you?"

"Eighteen."

"And how are you with yelling?"

She squinted her eyes at him, "I'm…good with it."

He stood up straight and nodded to her before pressing a button on the wall, "Mr. Roque?"

Annabel heard a loud, "WHAT!"

The man flinched but spoke evenly, "I have a miss...," he glanced at his notes,"…Annabel Rossi here for you."

"SEND HER UP! NOW!" He screamed from the box.

"Room B14." The man stated.

Annabel was more nervous than she has ever been in her entire life. She knew Gustavo really needed another assistant to help out Kelly, but maybe she wasn't right for the job. She hated when people yelled and from the sound of it, Gustavo must yell a lot! She liked Kelly though. Kelly is the one who interviewed her and they had hit it off right away. Hopefully she'll have to work with Kelly so much that she will barely ever see Gustavo. There was one thing Annabel tried not to think about…The Boys of Big Time Rush. She knew that she would have to see them because she was going to work for Gustavo, but she didn't want them to mess up her focus on this new job. She liked the band's music and of course all of the boys are gorgeous, but she wouldn't let them ruin this for her.

She arrived at room B14 and took a minute to collect herself. She smoothed the bottom of the red blouse she wore over her black trousers that were so long that they would touch the floor if it wasn't for her black heels. She tucked a strand of dark curly hair behind her ear and knocked on the door.

The door opened to Kelly's friendly face, "Oh Annabel, hi! You are just in time to do some copying for me!" Kelly smiled as Annabel walked into the large room. She looked around and noticed the hard wood floors and the magnificent recording studio in the back of the room. A grand piano stood off to the side and a larger man was sitting on the stool with his head in his hands.

"Gustavo can't find the right harmony for a new song he's writing." Kelly whispered to Annabel. "Gustavo, Annabel is here to help out."

Annabel immediately walked over to greet the world renowned music producer, "Hello, Mr. Roque. It is a real pleasure to meet you and be a part of your tea…"

"YOU MADE ME LOSE THE HARMONY I WAS THINKING OF!" Gustavo shouted, interrupting and scaring the new intern.

"I, I'm sorry." Annabel stammered holding in tears.

Gustavo turned to look at her and his face fell from embarrassment, "Uhh, I'm sorry. It's nice of you to come out and help." He reluctantly turned his attention back to his piano.

"Mr. Roque? What's the harmony you are having trouble with?" Annabel asked curiously.

"Call me Gustavo, and it's just this part of the song," He began to play a tune that had a contagious beat and Annabel started humming instantly.

He stopped suddenly at what Annabel thought would have been the chorus of the song, "There is where I can't figure out what harmony to add." He slumped in his stool.

Absentmindedly Annabel started humming a few lines and then repeated them in different harmonies. Gustavo rounded to look at her and glanced at Kelly who had a look of absolute appreciation on her face.

"That's it!" Gustavo yelped scaring Annabel back into reality. "You know about harmony?" He asked her.

"A little, I mean I sang in choir and I play guitar." Annabel blushed at her lack of anything professional to say.

"I don't know Gustavo," Kelly sang as she pulled Annabel into the office in the back of the room, "You might like this one."

"She is a Dogette, and like the dogs, she must be trained, only this time…by you!" He spun back to his piano and played the harmony his new assistant just sang for him.

Annabel was copying papers for Kelly when she heard the commotion and utter chaos that could only be caused by teenage boys. Annabel peaked out of the office door to see the boys of Big Time Rush cascading into the room all full of energy. James was fixing his hair and patting Logan on the back, while Kendall chatted with Kelly and Carlos buckled his helmet on. All four boys are beautiful, but Annabel had to put them out of her mind.

She attempted to escape the studio all together without being noticed but Kelly caught sight of her, "Oh! Boys, I would like you to meet my new assistant Annabel." Annabel waved shyly and noticed that they were staring at her.

"Hi, I'm Annabel. It's nice to meet you boys." She said as she walked over to shake their hands.

"I'm James." He said very seductively. Annabel shook his hand and rolled her eyes at his attempt to be sexy.

"Hi, I'm Carlos." Carlos greeted her by shaking her hand and bear hugging her until she felt she couldn't breathe.

"I'm Logan." Logan took her hand and kissed the top before blushing.

"And I'm Kendall," Said the tall boy as he shook her hand and brought her in for a hug.

Annabel admired the traits about each of the boys that are always emphasized in teen magazines. James's perfect hair, Logan's gorgeous smile, Carlos's fun personality, and Kendall's gentle and haunting green eyes. Each of the boys stared at her like she was a new toy and it made Annabel uncomfortable.

"So, Annabel, Where are you from?" Kendall asked still holding onto her hand.

"San Clemente," Annabel answered looking at all of the boys.

"Awesome! I visit my aunt there sometimes. I love it!" Carlos smiled wide and tapped his helmet with his hands.

James trotted over and draped his arm around Annabel's shoulders, knocking Kendall's hand from hers, "So where will you be staying?" He smiled down to her.

"It's a hotel called the Palmwoods."

All of the boys gasped and smiled at one another, "That's where we live!" Carlos shouted excitedly.

"What room will you be staying in?" James asked winking at Annabel.

"Her room is none of your business and I will not have you four bothering my new intern, especially on her first day!" Kelly nudged James aside and pulled Annabel to her by the arm. "Oh and Ann? Whenever Gustavo and I don't particularly need you for something, you are free to do as you please. But remember that your job is to help me make any and all of our guests welcome, whether it's Griffin, other singers, or even the boys. Got it?"

Annabel nodded as Carlos's face lit up, "Wait so she is like our servant too?"

"You may ask me for anything you need." Annabel grinned at Carlos who playfully hit Logan's arm.

"Within reason!" Kelly added, "This is a bit of a thank you from me to you boys but Gustavo's orders and my own always come first."

Logan laughed, "So If I wanted some fruit punch…"

Annabel raised an eye brow, "Coming right up. Anyone else?"

The other three boys raised their hands and laughed, not believing that this girl was catering to them.

Kendall started to follow Annabel out, "Hey let me help you with that." His green eyes were glowing and a sincere smile played on his face.

"Oh that's not necessary Kendall. I can handle it." Annabel tried to sound certain but she could hear her voice shake as she watched him study her face.

"Nah, it's cool. Gustavo wants to work on Logan's solos today anyway. I don't think they will mind." He placed a hand on the small of her back as he led her out the door.

Down the hall was the lunchroom decorated with everything Big Time Rush. BTR cups, plates, streamers that said "This City is Ours" and balloons with the boys' faces on them everywhere.

Annabel looked around and just laughed. She knew that the record label was still celebrating their most successful boy band.

"So why did you want this job, Annie?" Kendall asked her as he got some cups out of the cabinet.

Annabel had never been called Annie before and she didn't know if she liked the new nickname. "I read in the newspaper that Gustavo was looking for more help and I have always wanted to work for a record label. I love music." Annabel answered, retrieving the punch from the small refrigerator across the room.

"And you love Big Time Rush. " Kendall smirked at her and she couldn't help but smile.

"Of course, I'm a total rusher!" Annabel squealed in her best fangirl voice.

They both laughed.

Annabel found herself staring into Kendall's deep green eyes and became lost. No! You cannot get distracted! Not with this job. This boy is not important.

They returned to the studio with four cups of fruit punch and set them on the table.

"DOGS! ANN ISN'T HERE TO WAIT ON YOU ALL THE TIME. SHE HAS WORK TO DO AND SO DO YOU! IN THE STUDIO. NOW!" Gustavo screamed as the boys all rolled their eyes and marched into the recording booth. Kendall shot Annabel an amused look before she returned to work.
