Bethany's POV:

I opened the mail I got this morning, ripping the paper gently, to reveal an invitation to my parents' house for the holidays. "Yay," I cheered in sarcasm. "Just what I want to do during the holidays, spend time with my parents!"

I walked into the bathroom and began to get ready for work. I put hair dye in my hair to turn my nasty brown roots into bleach blonde to match the rest of my head. I set the timer to 30 minutes, which I was supposed to do, and went into the kitchen to make some coffee. I sat at the table, drinking my coffee, when the phone rang. I looked at the caller ID to see it was Kendall, my boyfriend.

"Hey hon, I was just meaning-" I began sweetly, but he interrupted.

"Bethany, I hate to say this, with the holidays coming up and everything…"

Hold that thought, I just wanted to say that my parents invited us to go to their house upstate for the holidays. And I know you don't like them, I hate them too but…" I rambled on and on, until I hear Kendall scream on the other end.

"Bethany, I'm breaking up with you!" he yelled. My heart shattered, and I felt my face growing hot.

"You're what?" I protested. "No no no, you can't do this to me! I need you!"

"I found someone else, it's not you. But, I think we should see different people."

"Wow is this scamp! Doesn't she know that we are a couple?" I was going ballistic, and I didn't want to stop there. "And who are you to break up with me threw the phone! Be a man and say it to my face!"

"I sorta can't now, that's why I called you. I didn't want you to go on through the day thinking everything was ok when it wasn't."

"You son of a bitch! I fucking hate you, I never want to see your sorry ass ever again, you hear me?"

"I understand you're upset, but let's be rational about this."

"No, I like yelling, it's better. Goodbye you scumbag!" and with that, I forcefully hung up the phone and slammed it against the table. After another few seconds, the timer for my hair went off and I slid my feet towards the bathroom to wash out the dye. I felt completely miserable, but hey, at least it's the holidays *sarcasm*!

Carlos' POV:

I hopped into my car, on my way to Dunkin Donuts. My eyes were fixed to the rode when my phone started to vibrate in my pocket. I know better than to answer it while I'm driving, but I wasn't thinking at the time. I reached for my phone and looked at the screen; it was my girlfriend, Monica.

"Carlos, I have something to say to you." she said song-like. I signed and asked her what she wanted to ask me. "My parents are inviting us to their house this Christmas, so, wear something nice."

"Ok, Monica, just give me a few hours. I need to eat and I want to drop off our dry cleaning."

"Ok, Carlitos, but promise me that you will be there?"

"Yes, cross my heart. I got to go, I'm driving. Love you." I said to her.

"Love you too, see you later!" and with that, she hung up. I rolled my eyes at the screen; I love Monica and everything, but sometime she can annoy the hell out of ya! I pulled into the parking lot and opened the door. When I got in, I saw a girl, standing about 5 foot 4; she seemed to be looking at me. But, hey, that wouldn't be the first time, I do consider myself decent looking.

I went over to the cashier and placed my order. After getting a mocha frap, I walked over to a seat and placed my jacket down. I kept looking at the girl, who was now freaking me out, and she seemed to be smiling at me. But this wasn't a sweet kind of smile, it was almost devious. I decided to brush it off, then I got up and went to the bathroom after throwing out my drink. I just didn't know that I would ever go back.

I felt something on my back, so I straightened up. I looked behind me, but whoever it was prevented me from looking at them. Then, I had a pair of hands place a bandana over my eyes; I was completely blind at this point. Then, the hands roughly moved me to a door and I felt the air hit my mouth. After a few minutes, I was in, what felt like, a car. I heard the door shut on my side, then open and close next to me. I began to scream, but before I could get any louder, I was choking on a piece of clothing. I tried to spit it out, but it was too far in my mouth. \

My hands were handcuffed to the handle hanging from the top of the car. I struggled to get free, but I couldn't. After trying to be released for what seemed like 10 minutes, I gave up. By now, the car was moving to God knows where, and all I was thinking at the time was 'This person is a psycho!'

Suddenly, I heard someone talk to me and it sounded like a girl. "If you want, you can take the bandana off."

"Oh, gee, I would love to, but… I'M HANDCUFFED TO THE HANDLE!" I yelled with pure anger escaping my lips.

"Oh, sorry, forgot. Here, let me help you." I felt soft fingers touch the top of my forehead and pull the blindfold down towards my neck. Fear was erupting in me, because all I could think now was that she was going to suffocate me.

But, she didn't. Instead, I saw who it was… the girl from the shop.

"You! You were giving me creepy looks ever since I walked in! How could I not think it was you?" I said to mostly myself.

"Look, I'm seriously sorry, but I have a huge problem that I think you can help me with." She said sweetly, but I wasn't buying it.

"Ok, and coming over to me and asking for my help was too much for you?"

"No, but this is more fun, you gotta admit that. I mean, with you freaking out and everything… aww, hilarious."

"You. Sick. Bitch!" I yelled at her. She seemed taken aback by my comment.

"Whoa, calm down, I'm not going to kill you. But I need you to do me a favor. Oh, by the way, name's Bethany. And you?" I didn't answer her; all I did was glare at her. She looked away from my eyes, and turned her attention to the road ahead of us. "Ok then, well, all you need to know is that whoever you are will become Kendall Schmidt for the week."

"What? You want me to be a different person?"

"Just for this week, then you can go back to your regular life and never see me again!"

"Fine," I said with a sigh. After 20 minutes have passed, I broke the silence. "Carlos, Carlos Peña."

"That's your name? Cute, and do you really have the little swiggley line over the 'n'?"

"Yes." I said simply.

"You know, we are going to be driving for a long time to my parents' ranch, so, let's play a game. How about 20 questions?"

"Why are we going to your parents' house?"

"Oh, you want to start, that's fine. We are going because it's the holidays and I want to be with my family."

"Then why-"

"Uh uh uh, you don't get another question until after my turn. Ok, um, do you have any sibling?"

"Yes, two. Would you like my social security number to you psycho?" I spat at her.

"Ok, I understand why you are upset. But I promise, this isn't torture, you'll have fun. Ok, you ask now!"

"Why am I with you right now? And I want the full story."

"Ok, well, I woke up this morning, thinking I was dating my lovely boyfriend, Kendall. But he called me saying he wanted a breakup. I got pissed at him and we didn't speak after that. But my parents think I'm a fail at life, so when they heard I had a boyfriend, they were ecstatic. So, if they heard that we broke up, they will continue thinking I'm a fail. So, I saw you and thought 'Hey, this guy's good looking, and he looks exactly like my ex-boyfriend, let me take him'. So, that's how you're here. You are going to pretend to me my ex-boyfriend, just to impress my parents. Then, after the weekend is over, I will drop you back at Dunkin Donuts and we will never see each other again. So, you in?"

I didn't bother telling her that I have a girlfriend; I thought I would bring too much drama. So, I looked down at my tied up feet, which I just realized now that they were tied, and nodded slowly.

"Oh my goodness! Thank you!" she squealed. I smiled at her then brought my attention to the window. This was going to be a long weekend.

HEY, SO HOW WAS IT? PLEASE REVIEWW ! IT WILL MAKE ME HAPPY :DDDDDD!
