Kendall, Logan, Carlos, and James all sat around the breakfast table within Apartment 2J. Although it was still early in the morning, they had finished their meals ages ago. Today was their first day off from work in weeks, and they wanted to make the best of it, however they just couldn't decide on what to do with their free time.

On free days, Kendall and Logan normally would hang out with their girlfriends, Jo and Camille. The problem was that it was 8 AM in the morning; way too early for any teenager to be awake on a weekend. The boys didn't like being awake this early either, however they were so used to waking up at 7 o'clock in the morning for work that they actually couldn't make themselves sleep any later.

As a result, the four band members were the only ones awake in their apartment, and probably will be the only awake teenagers of all the Palm Woods for a short while. They decided to spend most of their free day together—Of course, they'd have to agree on what they should do first.

"I say we go to the pool." James said, "We'd beat the morning crowd and get the best pool toys!"

"James, the pool toys are locked in the shed until the lifeguard's on duty. And that won't be for another four hours…and besides, Carlos is banned from the pool for the next week." Logan added, glancing at the shorter boy sitting next to him.

Carlos shrugged, "How was I supposed to know that alligator's weren't allowed in the pool?"

"…Right. So pool's out. And we can't watch TV because mom and Katie are still asleep." Kendall said, "Maybe we could go to the mall. The mall's open, right?"

"Yeah, but Carlos is banned for a week, remember?" Logan replied, looking at the shorter boy once more. Carlos merely shrugged yet again, "How was I supposed to know that alligator's weren't allowed in the mall?"

Logan rolled his eyes, but didn't bother trying to question his friend's logic. "We could do our homework. It's due Monday, and I know for sure that none of us have even star—"

"No." Came the collected answer of the other three boys whom were seated around the table, and that suggestion was immediately dropped.

The boys continued to offer ideas on what they should do, but each suggestion was shot down for one reason or another. Should they go surfing at the beach? No, it was too far away. Should they go to the movies? Nah, they've seen The Unicorn Princess II already. Should they play sports in the Palm Woods? No, none of them felt like it. 8 A.M was slowly turning into 9 A.M, and no one could agree on an activity to do.

"This is hopeless." James said, "There's nothing for us to do this early in the morning. We should still be in bed, getting our beauty sleep. Especially you, Kendall."

"Wh—hey!" Kendall exclaimed, "Rude." He glared at the boy next to him for a moment before continuing, "Look, we live in L.A. There has to be something for us to do here, no matter how early it is. We're not in small-town Minnesota anymore, where nothing is open before noon. We live in Los Angeles, guys. It's the city that never sleeps! There has to be something fun in this city for early-birds to do."

Logan nodded, "Good speech, except for when you said that we lived in 'the city that never sleeps'. You're thinking of Las Vegas."

"No, I'm pretty sure he was thinking of New York." James commented, with Carlos speaking up right after. "New York? I was thinking Manhattan."

"Manhattan is in New York, Carlos."

"Guys." Kendall said, trying to bring the conversation back to its original topic, "That's not the point I was trying to make—"

James cut him off, "Whatever point you were trying to make, it wasn't good. 'Small-town Minnesota'? Dude, we lived in Minneapolis! The biggest city in Minnesota!" He scoffed, crossing his arms and leaning his back into the chair.

Logan spoke up, "Yeah, James is right. I retract my statement about Kendall's speech being 'good'. It's too riddled with errors."

The blond sighed, looking at Carlos when the helmet-clad boy started to speak. "Does anyone else think Kendall's speeches haven't been that good lately?"

James and Logan murmured in agreement to Carlos's statement while Kendall rolled his eyes. "Speech-making is hard work, you know. You can't expect every speech I make to be a winner."

Excitement suddenly lit James's eyes, "A winner!" he repeated, "Remember the last time we had a prank war? No one won, it was just a tie. We could have another competition, and this time, we'll crown an actual winner instead of ending on a stupid tie."

Although Kendall was thankful for the sudden topic change, he had some reservations with James's idea. "A competition does seem interesting…but Katie would kill me if we did another prank war and didn't include her, or the other girls…and you know that they won't be up until later." Kendall replied, shuddering at the thought of what might happen to him if he did another prank war without including his sister. Katie may be young, but she sure is devious when she wants to be.

James obviously didn't think the same way as Kendall, rebutting his concerns. "Oh, come on. You can't have a bunch of girls who aren't even awake yet stand in the way of Big Time Pranks, part 2!"

"Big Time Pranks? Is that really what you're calling it?" Logan questioned, "Puns based on our band name is kind of lame."

"It's not lame!" James argued, "Remember that time when we adopted all those dogs? I call that event 'Big Time Rescue'."

" 'Big Time Rescue' is a pretty cool name." Carlos said.

"No, it's not! If we were in a 'Worst Names Ever' competition, 'Big Time Rescue' and 'Big Time Pranks' would tie."

"No, they wouldn't. It'd have a winner, and that winner would be you, Hortense Mitchell."

"Hey! We swore to never speak of my true name again."

"Hortense, Hortense, Hortense, Hor—"

"Guys, calm down." Kendall said, raising his voice over James's taunting chatter, "Stop acting like you're in some sort of 'Big Time Act Rude' competition."

James glared at the blond. "That's not how the naming system works." He huffed, "The correct name would either be 'Big Time Rude', or 'Rude Time Rush'."

"Does it really matter, James?"

"Uh, yeah, it does, Kendall. If we're having a competition on who's the meanest, we're giving it the correct name."

"But we're not having a meanness compe—"

Logan cut Kendall off. "James, being 'rude' and being 'mean' aren't the same thing. Gustavo is rude, but Hawk is mean. We need to clarify what we're doing before the competition begins."

"Logan, you seriously aren't—"

"We should make it an evil competition, where we do evil things. Like that time when Hawk stole our second album and we had to be superheroes? Only we're the super villains!" Carlos exclaimed, with James and Logan nodding in agreement.

"A Big Time Super Villain sequel to an event I call 'Big Time Superheroes'? I like the sound of that." James said, high-fiving his friend across the table. "But...if we're all super villains, then don't we need a super hero to try and stop us?"

Kendall tried speaking up again, "Guys, I really don't think this is a g—"

"We could all be super heroes!" Logan said, quickly thinking it over. "One of us will be the villain, and the rest of us will try to stop him! If the villain is stopped, he'll choose one of us to be the next bad guy. At the end of the day, when Mrs. Knight calls us for dinner, we'll vote on who was the best villain of us all."

The blond sighed; this really wasn't a good idea. When they tried being superheroes all those months ago, they ended up in jail. And that was when they attempted to be good, so who knows what would happen to them if they actually tried being bad?

"This isn't a good idea. What 'evil' things are we supposed to do?" Kendall said, "Kidnap people? Steal money? These are all crimes, you know."

"Well, we won't actually do anything to break the law." James said.

Logan agreed, "Right. If any of the Palm Woods residents get caught up in what we're doing, we have to tell them about our competition. They could even join if they wanted!"

"I want to play, but…what if it's dinnertime and not all of us got to be villains?" Carlos asked, "That wouldn't be fair."

"Well, then that's just tough luck." James explained, "If you want to have a chance to be a villain, then you have to stop the current one as soon as possible."

"Yep, and no one's going to stop me; I'm going to win."

"Oh, you won't win, my little Hortense." James said, eliciting a glare from his friend, "I will win. And I shall be crowned the superior villain."

Kendall watched as his friends continued to bicker, flinging petty insults at each other about who the 'best villain' was. He still didn't really think this was a good idea, but…it did seem like it could be sort of fun, especially if he got some of his Palm Woods friends to back him up when it was his turn to be villain.

Alright, he'll play. And he'll win, as well. All they needed to do next was to choose who got to go first.

Who gets to be the first evil super villain? You decide! Leave a review saying who you want to go first-Kendall, James, Carlos, or Logan.

Eventually some of the other Palm Woods residents might get to join in on the fun as well, but not yet!(They're still getting their beauty sleep, after all!)

After a predetermined amount of time, I'll tally up the votes to figure out who the first super villain will be! Stay tuned!

Edit: Voting is closed for chapter one! The winner is James!
