Many things will happen in this story...many things that will have you squealing with excitement. Or crying. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DO.
I hope you can forgive me being away and all. I have a lot to do, you know? Sorry for the mistakes you might see ...

There were sighs in the room of 2J. James was hanging upside down on the orange couch, Kendall was face down next to him, Logan had his face in his hands sitting on the other side, and Carlos was lying on the floor.
The air was drained of it's excitement and floated bare and gray. Kendall turned himself over and broke the silence. "We have to do something about this," he spoke. "We can't just lie here and do nothing all summer long!"
James turned his head toward Kendall's, blinked a few times, and said, "Kendall," James began, "What do you propose we do to to change this boring summer?"
Kendall narrowed his eyes and thought of a million ideas that they could do, but shook his head to all of them. Suddenly, a lightbulb appeared above his head. "I know what we could do," he said, gaining his friends' attention. "We could go on a long road trip!"
"One problem," Logan spoke up. "How are we going to get Gustavo to let us go?"
"We're on summer vacation," Kendall said the obvious. "He has to let us go."
All but Logan smiled. A road trip could be fun. Singing along to the radio, feeling the cool wind blow against your face, snacks on the road; it was the perfect plan! And best of all, they won't have to work or hear the loud shoutings from Gustavo telling them that their dancing was way off, or they were off key.
Kendall's plans never failed. Not once. "So are we going to ask him, or not?" Logan, James, and Carlos all stood up and nodded. "Then it's decided. We go on a road trip!"
"My dogs...go on a road trip...alone?" Gustavo repeated several times, looking at the four boys like they were idiots. "Let me think, no!"
"But Gustavo, it's summer vacation! We need to go on a road trip, or we'll die!" Carlos told him.
Kelly turned to Gustavo. "It is summer vacation," she said. "And it would be nice if the guys had some time alone on the road."
All four of them shut their eyes tight, crossing their fingers.
"Fine," Gustavo gave up. "I'll let the dogs have a break."
"YES!" The four said in unison, high-fiving each other with joy.
"Hold it," Gustavo said, putting his finger up.
"What?" Kendall stood still.
Gustavo sighed. "I want you nowhere near anyone who looks like they might be insane," he warned. "It's a strange place out there. I just...want my dogs to be safe."
"We will, Gustavo," James promised.
"You can count on us!" Carlos shouted.
"If you need anything, you have my phone number," Gustavo said. "And here's a little spending money for the journey." Gustavo put his hand in his pocket and handed Kendall a stack of dollars.
"Whoa, Gustavo, how much is this?" Kendall asked, mouth agape.
"Just four thousand dollars. Not much,"
"It is to us!" James yelled.
"Don't make me change my mind. You guys should go while you can," Gustavo motioned to the door.
The four excited boys quickly rushed out the door and ran to apartment 2J for some snacks. Carlos opened the refridgerator and grabbed bread and other sandwich items, James grabbed a pack of Gatorade and some string cheese snacks, Logan was smart and put the first aid kit on the counter next to the cooler just incase of an accident, and Kendall brought his iPod to hook up in the car and jam out to some tunes.
They almost forgot one thing. Mrs. Knight and Katie. They were out shopping...he almost forgot. Kendall whipped out his cell and dialed Jennifer's number.
"Mom, me and the guys are going on a road trip for summer vacation," he said into the phone.
"Right now?"
"Well, we are a band!"
"Well, all right then...be safe! When will you planning to be home?"
"We don't really know,"
"You can be gone as long as you want, Just don't take a century! I already miss you enough when you go on tour,"
"All right, mom," Kendall said. "Tell Katie I said bye. See you soon!"
"I love you! Bye," The call ended.
Kendall cracked his knuckles, smiled and said, "Let's pack up and hit the road, guys!"
And so they did. They put all of the food into the cooler, packed their clothes; sat in the Big Time Rush mobile, and took a deep breath. Kendall put his hands on the wheel and stared straight ahead. "So the journey begins," he said. "Where do we go first?"
"We could go to Chicago," James suggested.
"Ohio is close to Chicago, to we could go there next," Logan added.
"Sounds awesome!" Carlos shook with excitement.
"LA to Chicago is about a day away," Kendall looked at the guys. "We might need to check into some hotels to sleep," he planned out. "We could add another place to go."
"New York?" Carlos said.
"So we go to Chicago, Ohio, and then New York!" Kendall shouted, switching the car on. "It's the perfect road trip plan!" Kendall turned the GPS on and set the destination.
About five hours passed, Carlos had his head rested on James' shoulder. "How much longer?" He whined, stretching his arms.
"Twenty-four more hours," Logan said, glancing at the GPS. "It's okay, those hours will pass quickly."
Carlos snuggled closer to James. "Well, I'm going to take a nap," he yawned. "Wake me up when we get there."
James looked at Carlos' sleeping form. "Sleep tight, Carlitos,"
"Turn right at...next turn," the GPS said.
Kendall obeyed the GPS and turned right. But the GPS beeped and told him to turn around. "What's up with this GPS?" He hit it a few times.
"Turn left at...next stop sign,"
Kendall shrugged and drove forward until they saw a stop sign. It seemed fine...until they got to a dead end. "Why are we at a dead end? It told me to keep going until I saw a stop sign!" Kendall shouted with anger.
Carlos moaned and repositioned himself. "Two corndogs, please...thank you," he mumbled in his sleep.
James smiled. Carlos could be so funny sometimes. He turned his head and focused on Kendall. "Are you sure you programed it right?"
"Yeah, It was working fine a few hours ago,"
"Turn right, drive forward at next...exit," the GPS sounded. "Turn left at...next lane." The GPS glitched and froze.
Logan pinched the bridge of his nose. "I knew this was going to happen," he sighed. "Just turn around and look for someone that might be able to help us."
"Logan, nobody is going to be in the middle of nowhere at midnight," Kendall began to turn the car around.
"I could find out which direction we're going if I could see the moon," Logan looked up to the sky. "But it's too cloudy."
James looked around the dark sandy area they were in. "Isn't there another way to find out where we are?" he asked.
"Well, the GPS says we're in Spain right now," Kendall glared at the device. "Stupid GPS..."
"Doesn't it have a digital compass?" James asked.
Logan looked around the GPS and searched for it. "A GPS that doesn't even have a compass," he buried his face in his hands. "Wow."
"Look, we can do this," Kendall said. "We just need to focus and have hope. It's not like we came unprepared."
"I know we didn't come unprepared, Kendall," Logan sighed. "But we only have so much food. It isn't going to last long. We need to find somewhere to stay for the night."
"I agree," Kendall nodded. "Can you please take a turn driving now?"
"Sure," Logan said, getting out of the car and switching seats with Kendall. Logan rubbed his arms with his hands. The wind blew against Logan's legs and face making him shiver. Summers weren't this cold...where were they?
Kendall and Logan closed the car doors as they sat into the switched seats. Logan drove the car forward, looking left and right for somebody, anybody to tell them where they were.
Twenty minutes, still no sign of anyone. Kendall looked behind him to see Carlos and James asleep, heads leaning against each other. Kendall yawned. It was 12:43am, way passed his usual bed time. He snuggled into the car seat and leaned his head against the window. "I'll be taking a small nap," he took a deep breath. "Wake me up if you get tired..."
Logan sighed and continued to drive, looking everywhere for someone to help them. He looked at the car's gas meter. It was full? He remembered that he had the car running on battery the whole time, which was a good thing. At least now when the battery runs out, they still have a full tank of gas.
Logan's stomach growled, asking for food. He pulled over to the side of the road and made a quick sandwhich to sooth his aching stomach. He sank back into his seat and released a sigh as he ate his quickly made sandwhich. He looked out of the windows...nothing but sand. Logan squinted, looking way forward. He could see...lights! Headlights from a car!
He sighed with relief. Someone was going to help them locate where they were. Logan finished his sandwich, rolling his window down, and waving his hand to get the driver's attention.
The car came to a stop right where they were at. The lights turned off and out came a tall woman that looked like she was in her thirties. Blonde hair, brown eyes, currently in some denim jeans and a white t-shirt with a pink jacket over it.
"Need some help?" She asked, walking to Logan.
Logan blinked. "Uhh, yeah! Me and my friends don't know where we are," he explained. "You see, the GPS was acting weird and it glitched or something..." Logan trailed off.
The woman laughed. "I understand. It happens, don't worry," she smiled. "Well, you're almost at Vegas." she said, pointing down the road.
Logan's eyes widened. "V-Vegas? You mean Las Vegas?"
"Yes,"
Logan scratched his neck. That GPS must of steered them in circles. "Wait until I tell the guys," he mumbled.
"I'm sorry?" she asked.
"Oh, nothing. Me and my buddies were on our way to Chicago," he said. "We wanted to make our summer vacation fun, so we went on a long road trip that went from LA to Chicago, Ohio, and New York...but it didn't end up as we planned."
"Well, I can give you a map. Will that help?" she asked.
Logan nodded. "Hey, if you don't mind me asking, what's your name?"
The woman was inside of her car, searching for the map. She stopped, looking back at Logan. "Crystal," she said, grabbing the promised map and giving it to Logan.
"Thanks," he smiled.
"No problem! Hey, aren't you from that one boy band..." she snapped her fingers a few times, trying to remember the name.
Logan raised his eyebrows. "Big Time Rush," he finished.
"Yeah! That's the one! Won't you please have a look at Vegas? It's so pretty!" the woman smiled. The smile almost looked forced to Logan...
"No, thanks. Just following out road trip plans,"
There was a loud groan coming from the Big Time Rush mobile. "Logie, keep it down! Tryna sleep here," it was Carlos.
Logan glanced at the car and back to Crystal. "Sorry, that was my friend," he said. "Thanks for your help! We'll be on our way,"
"Are you sure you don't want to go to Vegas just for a visit?" she had a sad look on her face. Logan wanted to get as far away from her as possible.
"Yes, I'm sure. Thanks!" Logan shut the car door and turned the car on.
"Who were you talking to, Logie?" Carlos asked, yawning.
"Someone that gave us a map. Apparently, we're on the track to Las Vegas," he chuckled.
James' eyes shot open. "Did you say Las Vegas?"
"Yes, James. And, no. We are not going to the casino,"
"Why not? We have three thousand dollars. If we're lucky, we could win twice as much!" James pointed out.
"All of the machines are rigged, the people in there are thieves, we might get beat up by thugs, and we're underaged,"
"The slot machines aren't rigged! I heard of a woman that won a million dollars from one!" he snapped. "There aren't any thugs, the casinos are filled with security. And no one will know we're underaged. That's what lying is for."
Logan shook his head. "There's no way you can change my mind,"
"I can't believe you changed my mind," Logan said, walking with his three friends into the giant casino.
"You're going to have fun," James tried cheering Logan up. "Stop worrying."
Suddenly, a random crazed girl ran passed them with cash in her hands screaming, "I WON, I WON!"
James nudged Logan's shoulder. "Told you they weren't rigged,"
Kendall looked around the gigantic room filled with noises. "Where do we go first?" he asked.
James smiled and kept staring at the girl at the pub corner. "I'm going to the bar," he started walking.
"James, you can't drink alchohol yet!" Logan yelled, lucky that nobody heard him. James seemed to ignore him. Logan let out a frustrated sigh and pinched the bridge of his nose. Of course they had their own wallets with their own money. Logan was the one with the three grand. He had to be cautious, careful not to bump into anyone crazy.
"I'll be over at the slot machines," Kendall said. "See you later, Loges."
"O-okay,"
A waitress passed Carlos and Logan with a plate of what looked like mini ice cream dishes with cake and whipped cream? "Cake!" Carlos screamed, running after the waitress.
Logan was left alone...one thousand dollars...in his pocket. He patted his right pocket containing the money. He took a deep breath and started to explore around.
It would be a good idea to check in and rent a room for the night. He walked over to the counter and asked the man for a room for four.
