Disclaimer: I do NOT own Big Time Rush or Lab Rats! All I own is the idea of this crossover, nothing more! Thank you and hope you enjoy!

James sighed dejectedly to himself, pulling off his loose gray beanie and running his hands through his short, spiky mane of chocolate hair.

Being a freshman college student really sucked!

This year was supposed to be his year to start over; leave high school days behind and just have a fresh start with new people, in a new home away from home, and a new chapter in his life. This year was supposed to be the first milestone in graduating with a double major in Music and English.

The first step that can either go for his old childhood dream to become a famous singer, or to go for a life-long career in poetry, that had been his plan from the get-go.

Key word: Had…!

Now, not only was he having a hard time overcoming homesickness, balancing the work load for all his classes, keeping up with the Choir and juggling practice for swimming, track and soccer but he had to deal with two boys!

Two boys, fighting over him because apparently both had HUGE crushes on him!

How did this happen again?

"Hiding out in the library again, James?" The brunette nearly leaped out of his chair via heart attack when Quinn's voice broke his train of thought, his eyes on the smart glasses-wearing girl.

"Sheesh Quinn warn a guy won't you, for a second I thought I was in for it!" James hissed back, light brown eyes meeting her dark ones. The pale-skinned girl only sighed, her long, brown hair falling over one slender shoulder as she sat down and leaned in closer.

"Will do, now why are you hiding out here for the sixth time this month?" She cut to the chase, toying with one of her braids as she spoke.

James sighed as his thin eyebrows sharply pulled together. "You know why, because of Adam and Kendall…"

"They're still at it?"

"Yep, and it's driving me crazy! I mean, I can't really escape Kendall since we're both freshmen and roommates and Adam is on the swim team! If I don't see one of them during those times, I end up seeing them both on campus, Quinn help me with your genius-ness, tell me how to solve this!" James exclaimed, blushing in embarrassment when some students turned from their work and shushed him.

"Sorry…!"

"Well James what do you want me to do, I could try sending Adam to the moon or have Kendall have an accident where he's in the hospital for a week but that's not going to change the fact you're in love with TWO guys at the SAME time! I mean, do you even know who you want to be with?!" Quinn hissed back, James' expression hitting rock bottom.

"I-I don't, I just don't know okay? I mean, Kendall's been my best friend for years, heck since we were in diapers in the playpen! He's always been there, always had my back and I had NO IDEA he liked me back until he told me last week, you know when we went back to Minnesota for winter break! He told me during a movie/video game/ pizza night; one minute we were just jamming to The Beatles, the next he was telling me that he's liked me since we were thirteen and that he might be in love with me! I was so shocked I grabbed my car keys and left him without a word on it! That's why it's been awkward between us lately…" James explained, soft eyes taking on sad hue of brown at the end; Quinn frowned and clasped his hand, rubbing his knuckles in comfort.

"Okay, you and Kendall have a long history together; what makes the situation so difficult, it's obvious he means a lot to you and you to him", She pointed out, the pretty boy tugging on the collar of his dark, loose gray sweater.

"Because…well because I thought I'd have no chance with Kendall, he may be bi but a lot of girls threw themselves at him so I decided to give moving on a try. So when we graduated from high school I promised myself I would try to move on from him and find someone else, you know like a boyfriend. And that's when I bumped into Adam while me and Mom were on a campus tour…" Quinn's eyes went wide at this; she didn't know much about how her pretty boy friend met the ditzy yet sweet and funny athletic junior.

This was new news.

"Wait, campus tour?"

"Yeah, the first one the university had set up; of course I didn't pay him much attention, I was so into learning about the music programs and such that I barely even noticed he was the college junior giving the tour. But then during the luncheon for the new students and parents with the staff, we sat at the same table and started talking. We talked about random stuff, like which high schools we went to and the sports we liked, what majors we were working on and our families, I ended up learning most of his life story in an hour, and…well, I liked him; he was always making jokes, some made me laugh and some stunk, he was always smiling and acting goofy I found it hard to believe he was a junior here! From there…I spent the whole day with him, Mom teased me about it the whole drive back home." James explained with a nervous chuckle, rubbing his neck with his free hand.

"OMG, you totally flirted with a hot older guy, and he totally flirted back! Adam Davenport is like totally crushing on you! Oh, I see the problem now." Quinn said, biting her lower lip.

James sighed and put his head down on the table. "You see the problem now: I use to like Kendall, I find out he likes, no LOVES, me when I thought I'd never have a chance with him, I meet Adam and we, you know, get along and I end up liking him, he hints that he likes me back until bam! He decides to tell me he really likes me the day AFTER Kendall confesses to me! And now, they're both heated on each other because of me and I have no idea, absolutely no idea WHO is the guy I WANT! My number one is Kendall Knight, who's really sweet and a leader who's been my best friend for years! And my number two is Adam Davenport; a goofy and funny guy who one time went to swim team practice in jeans and water-proof shoes! Quinn, help me because I could be in love with both!"

Quinn immediately sat up straight, "Hold your horses pretty boy, I was just kidding about being in love with the two of them! Wait, you seriously think you love both of them?!"

"Hey, shut up or get out! Some of us are trying to work here!" Jett Stetson growled two tables away, completely ignoring the heated glare the nerd doing his homework was shooting at the back of his blonde head.

Quinn just wanted to get up and tell the stuck-up jerk off but James held her back, shaking his head. "Let's just split, okay? My dorm's better to talk in, come on." He offered his arm to her and off they went, pushing their seats in and gathering their books; they as quickly as possible walked down the long, metal staircase and left the main door of the library, arms locked as they picked up where they left off.

"So, you like Davenport and Knight?" She asked in a normal pitch, the high Los Angeles sun beating down on the large, open space that was the Palm Woods University campus.

James sighed again and glued his eyes to the shoes he was wearing: a pair of black Vans with blue laces, a pair he borrowed from Kendall the week the blonde 'fessed up.

"I-I think so, maybe? Look, they're very different but that's what I like about them. Kendall's a bit short-tempered and he's a schemer but he's still a cool guy and always there for the people he cares about, like his mom and little sister. He's smart, caring, cute and confident of himself, there's nothing he won't set his mind on and get it, he's got the 'fire' plus that's just who he is. Kendall Knight has always had my back, through the bullies and my parents' divorce; you name it, and he was there. But…" James trailed off, eyes narrowing.

"But what James, what is it?" Quinn gently pressed him, squeezing his well-toned bicep in encouragement.

"Kendall, I've always been a little jealous of him. I mean I'm The Face and all, but he's good-looking and has spunk; I had my share of insecurities and still do, we sometimes have fights so bad because how we're so different that I think he doesn't know me at all sometimes. It's not like that with Adam."

"Meaning, go on."

"Meaning, with Adam…I can just kick my insecurities to the curb because he jokes about them. Not in the mean way, not like that but he makes me laugh about how silly I get over them; he shows me that everyone has flaws but they should like that about themselves, it's who we are and we should go with the flow, live life you know? Adam is a bit on the ditzy side but he's lovable, it's hard to be mad or sad around him because one lame joke or a fake madman laugh and you're sour mood is out the window. I know he's older than me and has more experience college-wise but…I don't know but there's just something special about him, Adam Davenport sure is something."

Quinn pulled lightly at his arm so that they both stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, they not too far from the cafeteria. "So let me see if I got this equation clear: you are X, Kendall is Y and Adam is Z; it used to be X+Y until X decided to subtract Y and group up with Z, now Y wants to be with X to be XY and so does Z for XZ so because of them heating on each other it's Y/X/Z now?" She asked, somehow not lost by that; James nodded.

"Math is right, Quinn-a-rella: it's Y/X/Z with Y having no clue how to solve the problem."

"Shoot, that's one heck of a math problem!"

"Jamez, hey!"

"Jamie, wait up!"

Two different voices said James' name (well forms of his name, anyway) at the exact same time, making him and Quinn look away from each other to see who was calling the pretty boy.

A tall, light-skinned boy with wiry muscles and dark brown hair spiked upwards in the front, decked out in a purple and white Palm Woods Uni. hoodie and light-washed skinny jeans, bag hanging from one shoulder as he waved with a big boyish smile from where he stood; he had a nice face, high cheekbones and full lips, while his cheeks were flushed pink from the heat. He was the one who called the male brunette Jamez, going for the z instead of s because to him it sounded so cool. He wasn't taller than James, around the same height probably, and he sure looked a year or two older.

Adam Davenport, or as Quinn dubbed him: variable Z in this really confusing equation.

The other boy was James and Quinn's age, a tall (well to Quinn's standards, James' not so much) dirty blonde with a sun-kissed light tan and bright green eyes, wearing a simple blue plaid button-up over a plain white tee and dark-washed skinny jeans, a guitar case on his back and a plain gray trucker's hat on his head, a slightly nervous smile on his nice face; his thick eyebrows hovered like cute fuzzy caterpillars over his deep eyes, dimples sticking out from the sweet smile. There was no guessing wrong that he was the one who called James Jamie.

And Kendall Knight, who Quinn dubbed variable Y to James' X.

Look at that: X, Y, Z, all together on one page.

Man did life hate on James or what?

"U-Umm, hey guys…! What's up?" Quinn chided, jerking James out of his horrified trance; the pretty merely smiled tightly back, heart pounding as the two approached them.

It wasn't easy to ignore the mild glares Adam and Kendall exchanged.

"Adam." Kendall said, trying to keep his smile going.

Adam's smile was as stiff, though his eyes were careful. "Kendall."

"H-Hey guys, what's up? Me and Quinn have some studying to do, you know for exams and such." James lied weakly, hoping the two didn't see sweating bullets under his sweater; exams weren't until the week after this one coming up, oh he hoped they didn't point that out!

Adam didn't seem to. "Oh right, okay I know you two are in a hurry but James, I really have to ask you something."

"Me too, Jamie I need talk to you!" Kendall butted in, looking determined; James felt all the blood leave his face, oh no…!

"Umm guys sorry but can't, you know this stuff wait? Me and Quinn are kind of in a hurry", James began when Quinn stepped in.

"Look we're on a tight schedule so you two got two minutes, same time: GO!"

"James, will you go out with me?" The two said the exact same thing word-for-word, that throwing James and Quinn for a loop.

"Say what now?" James choked out.

"Wow, did not see that coming…!" Quinn whispered, Kendall and Adam turning from their stare down to James.

"Will you go out with me?" Adam repeated, Kendall quick to catch on.

"With me, will you go out with me on a date, Jamie?"

"…" James was speechless, Quinn knowing his frozen face on spot; she stepped in front of the trembling, wide-eyed pretty boy and gave the guys a smile, trying to quickly and carefully pull James behind her and drag him in the direction of the dorms without catching the two's eyes.

"Oh time's up, ha got to go hit the books! See ya, guys!" Adam and Kendall had no time to protest before they were left in a cloud of dirt, Quinn practically dashing down the sidewalk with a zombie James on her arm.

"Okay, we SO got to solve this equation before we can't piece it back together at all later!" She hissed as they bolted through the front door of the first floor boys' dorm; James was stiff in the face but his mind was reeling.

His number one, his number two-both just asked him out!

And he…had no idea what to do!
