Author Note: My Hidden Journal series is one of my most popular concepts. I originally wrote it for Jonas Brother fandoms (including a spin off and sequel) before converting it to McFly and now BTR. Though the main concept and title is the same, each of the fics are completely and uniquely different. I hope you enjoy it as much as my other readers have.

Hidden Journals

Chapter 1: Pranking too Far

"Carlos!" a voice boomed through Apartment 2J causing two of its residents to snicker while another one silently shook his head before continuing to flip through the latest copy of Science Magazine.

"Did you switch his toothpaste and face cream again?" Kendall grinned, slapping his buddy on the shoulder as the sound of running water returned to their ears followed by frantic gasps.

Carlos simply grinned shaking his head, "Nope, even better!"

"Clear wrap over the toilet?"

"Amateur."

"Hid his lucky comb?"

"Nope."

"Baby oil instead of face wash?"

"Getting closer."

Kendall wiggled his eyebrows trying to think as the shorter boy jittered around in his seat anxious to share his ingenious prank.

"Switched his conditioner with Shampoo so that he would shampoo twice?" the blond was starting to run out of ideas.

"Warmer…"

"Oh, would you just tell him already," Logan piped up trying to suppress his interest by hiding his gaze behind the magazine.

Carlos' grin widened as the sound of running water ceased and heavy footsteps were heard hustling around the bathroom. "Wait for it," was all he said before grabbing a hold of his helmet, tapping it twice before jumping over the back of the couch and crouching down low to conceal himself as the bathroom door flew opened.

"Where is he?" James growled stalking out in nothing but a towel slung around his hips and one wrapped tightly around his mop of perfect auburn hair. "I'm going to kill him."

"What's his crime this time?" Logan threw the magazine down onto the coffee table before studying his band mate, trying to find any clues to what the big mystery was.

James held up what appeared to be an ordinary Cuda Man hair product, "He put hair dye in my Cuda Conditioner! So now instead of silky strands of perfection," he waved his fingers in front of his face, "I have blue hair!"

Kendall and Logan both glanced at one another before bursting into laughter.

"It's not funny!" James cried out, "He ruined my hair!"

"It's not permanent!" a muffled voice resounded from behind the couch.

"I'm going to kill you Garcia!" James growled before taking a flying leap over the back of the couch. Carlos screamed, ducking just in time, James grabbing a hold of his ankle before he was able to escape.

Logan and Kendall looked at each other before shaking their heads, "Juveniles," Logan rolled his eyes before picking up a rather large book. "Instead of wasting my time on some adolescent prank, I'm going to do something more productive."

"Like what? Read about clogged arteries?" Kendall snorted.

"Exactly!" Logan answered, lifting up the book in search of the tiny corner he had folded over to reserve his place, "Who knows, I could end up saving your-" he never got to finish as his book fell opened and a cloud of white powder covered his face. "Baby powder? Really?" he exclaimed in frustration rubbing his eyes while trying to shake the powder out of his hair.

Kendall laughed pointing at him, "You are too easy!"

By then Carlos had finally manged to escape James grip. With a battle cry, he sprung up from behind the couch, a towel with blue streaks in his hand as he somersaulted over the furniture, landing in crouching position as a blue haired James appeared.

James squealed as he saw the shorter boy holding the towel in victory, his hands flying to his hair trying desperately to shield it from prying eyes.

"Missing something, Buddy?" Carlos smirked, swinging the towel over his head.

"Oh, you're going down," James answered his challenged in a deep voice before climbing over the couch and picking up a hockey stick. Carlos screamed, diving into Swirly in an attempt to escape.

With the powder finally cleared enough out of his eyes where he could see, Logan glared at Kendall who met his eye, grinning as he took a small bow, "Didn't see that coming did you genius?"

Logan couldn't take it anymore. It had it with the foolish pranks. It was ok from time to time, but lately, the two were relentless and now they not only messed with James' perfect hair, they messed with his text books.

With a resounding bang, Logan through the medical book against the wall before storming into his and Kendall shared room. The door slamming caught everyone's attention, including Carlos and James who had stopped, mid battle at the top of the swirly slide.

"What's wrong with him?" Carlos asked before diving head first down the slide, landing on his head as he hit the bottom.

Kendall shook his head making his way over to his bedroom door. He tried the knob first, but it was locked, "Logan?" he called through the thick wood, pounding on it with his fist, "Logan, I'm sorry. Open up! It was just a joke."

"Screw you Knight!" Kendall jumped as what sounded like another heavy text book slammed against the other side of the door.

"I think he's mad," Kendall shrugged turning to his other band mates.

"Yea? No shit," James seethed, his fingers running frantically through his bright blue locks before disappearing below the railing only to appear seconds later at the bottom of the slide.

Kendall blinked, his eyes doing a double take before bursting into another fit of laughter.

"I know! It's blue! It's not funny!" James growled.

Kendall shook his head, trying to catch his breath. When he couldn't find the words, Carlos answered for him, "Missing something Diamond" he asked holding up not one, but two towels.

James face turned red as he looked down, quickly grabbing a throw pillow up form off the ground before sitting his way back towards the bathroom, "Not cool guys," he sighed before slamming the door close.
