A/N: Happy 2012 everyone! Welcome to another one of my spontaneous head rambles that you have decided to read. No idea where this is going but I'm going to write it anyway with no clear plan.
Before I start, I just want to already say thanks to BaronofDenmark because he's great and why wouldn't you want to say thanks to him?

"Who's next?" a voice bellowed.

"I am." a tall boy boldly stepped forward and combed his hair after doing so for a long time before. He wanted this moment to be perfect. The boy stepped onto the stage and stood in front of the microphone. The spotlight shone so brightly that he could only make out the large man he was trying to impress and his associate next to him sitting on a table before the front row. He was aware there were other people in the crowd that may have slipped security but he didn't care; more of an audience. This was where he belonged.

"Name." the larger man announced.

"James Diamond."

"Ok, James, start singing."

And sung James did. It was beautiful, as if sung by angels themselves. He knew he had won the crowd's hearts after the first few notes. This was the moment and he had been preparing for, for pretty much all his life. Once he had finished singing, he stared into the spotlight so that his eyes twinkled just as the icing on the cake. James knew he was amazing and was trying his best not to look too smug and looked down at the man who seemed speechless. Bingo.

"Gustavo?" the person sitting next to him said, waving his hand in front of Gustavo's face.

Gustavo closed his gobsmacked mouth and shook his head to check this was happening, "Carlos, go tell everyone else to go home, hearing them would just waste my time."

"But Gustavo, what about the others, don't you wanna-"

"SEND THEM HOME!"

Carlos quickly scurried out of the auditorium to go deliver the bad news. It was best coming from him because Gustavo just made people want to cry. James just stood there as Gustavo looked through some papers. He was completely dumbfounded. He knew it was going to happen. Anyone who heard him sing would have told him that, and he prepared himself for the yes, just, he didn't prepare himself for the wave of happiness that followed. Carlos returned quickly and sat in his seat waiting for Gustavo to speak.

"James Diamond, aged 23, how would you like to become famous?"

James's smile stretched even more, "More than anything, sir."

"Good, you just need to sign some things and we'll take you to L.A first thing tomorrow." James started walking offstage, "And call me Gustavo."

James was ecstatic; he was so close to living his dreams. He walked across the stage and went towards the stairs. He didn't realise how small they were and how large his feet were. Then it happened. Two steps down and James misplaced his footing and went crashing down to the floor. It felt like a long fall, but looking back, it seemed like a meter at the most. The height of the drop wasn't what bothered James, it was the shooting pain in the back of his head. He must have whacked it on the floor as he fell. He felt light headed and his vision was partially blurry. He heard movement and found out it was Carlos who had rushed to his side.

"James?" he shook him, "James, can you hear me? James?"

"James!" the voice had changed now, something more familiar, "James God damn it, wake up!"

James stirred in his bed as a figure loomed over him, "Logan, what are you doing here?"

"Today is the day, James. You need me here to keep you from crazy!"

"How am I going to go crazy?"

"James, this is you and a chance to be famous. I have seen this before. You're going to kill yourself and others out of bursts of random singing and excitement."

"Oh Logan," James said getting out of bed, "my pessimistic friend. I'll be fine. But I'm glad you're here! I want someone I know to be there when he tells me how amazing I am!"

"Who says Gustavo will like you?" Logan called through the bathroom door as James got in the shower.

"Of course he will, I've had dreams about it. You know my dreams are psychic!"

"James you are not-" his voice was drowned out by the sound of rushing water which he knew meant James was ignoring him, "Ok then..."

"Logan!" James moaned, "Hurry up!" as he ran towards the theatre.

"I'm coming! Slow down!" Logan called after him, knowing his efforts were useless.

James ran ahead into the theatre as Logan caught up. He saw James on a seat with one next to him as he went to go to sit next to his friend.

"Name please." this woman said bitterly.

"Oh no, I'm not auditioning, I'm just here with a friend." Logan said, slightly blushing.

"Only those who are auditioning can go through."

James heard and sprang up off his chair, "Please let him come through. He's my good luck charm."

"Whatever." the woman rolled her eyes and Logan sat next to James and waited.

Lots of people filled the building, all budding singers wanting their chance of fame. James wasn't scared at the competition at all. He thought it was cute to let these other people try their best, and it would save the best till last – which was apparently him – to show off real talent. Logan sighed at the prospect of waiting for so long. Last time he did something like this was to camp out for the last Harry Potter movie. He would go to his grave in saying that it was worth it.

They had been sitting there for almost eight hours before James was called. Logan lost count of how many people had ran out of those doors crying while a loud, "NEXT!" boomed through. Finally it was James's turn. He got up and pulled a dreary Logan with him to the doors.

"Come on Logan it's my turn!" he said, with a large grin on his face.

"Hey! He can't go in there! No audition, no entrance!" the woman barked.

Logan sighed and sat on the chair right next to the door. James pouted at him, which Logan returned with a wink. James resumed his grin as he walked through the doors. It was exactly like his dream as he walked up on stage and the spotlight was on him exactly like he knew it would. He even only saw a bored looking Gustavo Rocque and Carlos at the table in front of him.

The woman had stopped staring at Logan and went back to reading a magazine by the table she was stationed at. He took his opportunity and ran in and silently manoeuvred himself to the back row and kept his head down so no one spotted him. He was certain James couldn't see him, so Logan took his phone out and started recording him with it. It was going to be used as embarrassment later for when he messes up like Logan hoped he would.

"Name." Gustavo said.

"James Diamond."

"Ok, make it quick."

James couldn't promise that as he wanted this moment to last forever. He picked a simple song, 'Livin' On A Prayer' by Bon Jovi. Where could he go wrong with that? It was a classic that everyone knew and really showed off his voice. As he started to sing, he felt the rush of performing fill him with energy as he started punching the air and marching around the stage a little. Logan sat at the back laughing. He had heard this rendition many times before, not by choice, but the improvised 'dancing' was new and he couldn't help but laugh.

As James was nearly over and Logan ready to record Gustavo's reaction, he felt a hand on his shoulder, "Hey you, I told you no entry. Get out!"

"But I have to see my friend. Please!"

"Get out of this theatre or I will call security."

James finished the last note and Logan reluctantly left to wait on the streets. At least he saw the performance, James could understand that. And what a performance it was. He always knew James was a good singer, and he was sure James would become famous, that's why he supported his friend's dream, no matter how many people told him he was crazy.

James stood on stage pretty pleased with himself. Even Carlos looked happy. James hoped that was because after spending all day listening to complete nut jobs they had finally found a star.

"What was that?" Gustavo huffed and Carlos shot him a surprised look.

"Excuse me?" the spot light dimmed a little and James could completely see his unimpressed reaction.

"That was singing?"

"Well yeah. It was great."

"Well I'm not looking for great. I'm looking for excellent! Leave please."

"But-"

"LEAVE!"

James walked down the stairs, luckily not falling this time, utterly heartbroken. He was great, he knew it! Carlos knew it! James gave a quick glance to Carlos, hoping he would give him some sympathy and talk some sense into Gustavo. He got none. Carlos just gave him a sad pout in return. Wow, Gustavo was tough. He knew Logan would come and stick up for him; he just had to tell him. As James left the auditorium, he scanned the room for Logan. No sign. He walked outside to call him to see where he had gone to find him sitting on the curb. He looked up and saw the disappointment in his eyes.

"How'd it go?

"He hated me." James said bluntly.

"What? I saw you man, before THAT BITCH threw me out." he frowned, hoping the woman at the table heard, "I recorded you singing though, and your dancing was funny!" Logan tried to laugh and lighten the mood, but James just glared. Logan quickly changed the subject, "You know what, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!"

Logan turned back into the theatre and once again was stopped by the woman.

"Mr. Rocque is seeing his last audition. Please go home."

"How can there be any more people?" James exclaimed, "I was the last!"

"Actually, I saw someone walk in." Logan said, "He must've gone to bathroom as you were coming out." he put his arm around James, "Come on, let's just go back to your place."

A week later, Logan was once again round James's who had refused to leave until he was happy, which he also said would be never. Logan understood his pain and just had to ride the wave until James recovered. He already called in his work saying he'd probably take two weeks off due to an 'illness'. Logan switched on the news as James slumped his way into the living room in his apartment.

"Gusatvo Rocque has found a new singing sensation right here in Minnesota!" the presenter said. 'Oh God' Logan thought. This couldn't be good. He reached for the remote to change it over, but James stopped him.

"I wanna hear it!" he said.

"Kendall Knight made a surprise late appearance to Gustavo's auditions and will now be moving to L.A to begin a career of his dreams! Look out for him! We suspect he'll be topping our charts very shortly."

James sat up wide eyed, "Who the fuck is Kendall Knight?"
