i was originally gonna have this idea in my story "Big Time Rush: Behind the Scenes"... but my colaborative-writing partner said no... so HERE IT IS!

DISCLAIMER: i own nothing but this plot :D

"A friend is a brother who was once a bother." ~Author Unknown

POV: James Diamond

"James! Catch!"

I turned around and saw a guitar flying at me. It landed in my hands.

"Run!" Kendall ran past me.

"Why?"

"That's Guitar-Dude's guitar!"

"Jesus!" I ran like hell down the nearest hallway.

Somehow, I had lost all the guys and came to a dead-ended hallway.

"James."

I whirled around and saw Guitar-Dude standing there.

"Just give me my guitar, man, and we'll all be cool."

"Will you hurt me if I give it back to you?"

"Maybe, maybe not. But if you don't, I will hurt you."

I looked at the guitar. It was a nice one.

He took a step towards me.

I yelped, dropped the guitar, and ran like hell (again :D ) back to 2J.

A note was taped to the door:

James,

Find the man with the bologna. Look in his office mini-fridge.

So I had to go to Bitters' office. Awesome, right? Yeah, didn't think so.

There were these notes everywhere, leading me all over the Palmwoods, across town, and surprisingly not back to Minnesota. There was no obvious point to this, but the other guys were probably trying to keep me out of 2J for my own benefit.

But, being me, I needed something to do, so I went along with them. It was actually kinda fun not having Logan there to do all the thinking. I have a brain, too, even though I don't use it as much as I should.

Wait for someone new to sign in. Greet them, and give them a tour of the Palmwoods and Palmwoods Park. We won't let you into 2J until you have. We'll be watching.

It's like they plan these things. As soon as I looked up, there was some guy standing there with a single suitcase and a nervous expression painted on his face. He looked very approachable, but needed to be warmed up to it.

I went up to him. "Hi, I'm James Diamond. And I'm gonna give you a tour. Who are you, by the way?"

"Joey Parker, and thanks." He smiled. "It's nice to know that this town isn't full of narcissistic hypocrites."

I blinked a couple times. "James not good with words."

"People who only care about themselves."

"Oh, I get it. Well, let's get this tour done."

"Yeah. Thanks again."

When he was staring in awe at the pool, I had a good opportunity to take in his appearance. He looked a lot like me. We had the same confident posture and profile – I'd had enough practice staring at mine. We had the same hair style, but Joey was blonde. Our only other physical difference was our eye color – his were blue.

"This is… amazing," he sighed.

"You'll get used to it." I led him on; only wanting to see what was in store for me back at 2J.

It was like Joey and I had bonded over the short tour that I'd given him. It was much different and easier to talk to him towards the end.

Heading back to 2J, my heart was beating furiously with anxiety and anticipation of what waited for me behind the door. I honestly didn't know what they had planned.

I opened the door and was greeted by a plethora of streamers and confetti. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAMES!"

With Guitar-Dude, the notes, and Joey; I'd forgotten that it was my birthday. Honestly. And it's very hard to make me forget a day that was all about me.

Kendall, Carlos, and Logan surrounded me in a life endangering hug. I didn't mind that I almost couldn't breathe. It felt good to be close to my brothers.

REVIEW PRETTY PLEASE!
