TIS HERE XP Frosty, you best be happy with this (see how I turned that around? CARPE DIEM!)

Anyway, excusing our lame inside jokes, I wrote most of this out on paper at school and I am just typing it up now. Hope it doesn't feel... rushed? No... it's just... not the best I can do, but I have some personal issues right now.

Also, Sora the Mangaka drew a lovely picture of the boys on deviant art. The URL is: http:/ browse. deviantart. com/ ?order=5&q= patchwork quilt#/ d36991q

My cousin saw that he drew a picture and since she's an amazing artist as well and promised a picture too! So expect to see hers eventually also!

AND I would appreciate it if you would go and read my other stories as well and review cuz I know it would make me feel better :)

Chapter 2: Roles

By the time the new limo picked the whole crew up at the LA airport it was late and everyone was tired.

"I'm sending a car to pick you guys up at 7 a.m. sharp. Don't talk to anyone at the Palm Woods just yet, I'll tell you why tomorrow. Kale, you and your girls, Bethany and Libby, will be staying in apartment 3C. Tanner, you and your family will be in 3D. Mattias and Blix, you will be in 3E along with Felix, Danny, and Lia." Hawk tossed a different key to Tanner, Kale, and Felix. Mattias growled but Felix ignored it.

Everyone but the boys and Hawk were sleeping so when they pulled around into the Palm Woods lot, no one moved. There was a lot of effort put into getting everyone up and inside. The limo sped away and the families trudged inside.

X~X~X~X~X

Not that it helped to get only 4 hours of sleep, but the boys got up early to be ready for the 7 o'clock pick up.

Mattias was up first one up in 3E so he grabbed his grabbed his unpacked suitcase from the floor in the room he shared with Felix and Danny, and he headed to the bathroom to change.

He slipped into a pair of baggy blue jeans and a grey button up. He decided to also put on a little black vest to add a little something to the outfit. He took a look in the mirror before wrapping his light blue scarf around his neck.

He walked back to guys' bedroom and found Felix awake and dressed also. He looked as though he wasn't trying to impress anyone with a red tee, black basket ball shorts, and ruffled hair.

"Ready to go?" Felix whispered, as to not wake up Danny. Mattias nodded and followed Felix out the door. They stopped in front of 3D to knock quietly to get Tanner's attention. Tanner quietly exited his apartment in the same clothes he had on the night before, accidentally falling asleep on the floor upon arrival. Just then the door to 3C opened and Kale appeared in a pair of grey semi-skinny jeans and a tight green tee, thinking he might as well be comfortable for the first day. As they stepped outside, they saw there was a car there already, waiting just for them.

They entered the studio and took in their surroundings. The building's interior was decorated with a lot of shades of blue and green and it looked very nice.

"BOYS!" They all snapped their attention to their right, where Rebecca stood, holding a clip board and a cup of coffee. "Follow me please" she stated sweetly.

"Oh, now she's nice." Felix whispered to Tanner, who laughed. Rebecca hissed at them both.

They entered Hawk's office, silent, because they were scared of Rebecca and still extremely tired.

"Gentlemen, look at what I have in my hands. It's a laptop. Do you want to know what I'm doing? I'm going to show you a video. It's a video showing you the level of dance I want to see you all achieve. It's a clip from the British TV show called Skins—"

"I LOVE Skins!" Kale exclaimed, his English accent seeming more evident than ever.

"I'M NOT FINISHED!" Kale got quiet again; scared again. "Oh, wait... I guess I was. Just watch." He pressed play and Kale immediately recognized it as the first episode in the second season. The episode was all about Maxxie, Kale's favorite character. The clip was of the dance right at the beginning of the episode; the dance Kale had already taught himself.

When the video was done, everyone looked content, excited even, except Felix, who looked skeptical.

"I already know that dance!" Kale exclaimed proudly.

"I never said you wear doing that exact dance. But it's good to know you are already at that level. And that was just the first thing I needed to talk to you about. The second: your roles."

"Our... roles?"

"Yes. Roles. As in the parts you each are... responsible for in the band. First, Mattias. You will be called Mattie, because that's cute. You are the cute-slash-adorable one. The baby faced one. The innocent one. So stay innocent." Mattias just nodded. "Next is Tanner. You are the lovable klutz."

"Hey, I'm not a klutz!"

"Hon, you tripped on your way up the stage when you tried out" Rebecca pointed out. Tanner 'hrmph'ed and crossed his arms.

"Okayyy, Kale! You are now the official leader of the band." Kale now had a huge smile gracing his lips after hearing that.

"WHAT?" Felix shouted, now officially pissed. "I am so much more the leader type! He's so... scrawny and weak! I knocked him over just by accidently brushing shoulders!"

"I'm right here; I can hear what you're saying..." Kale said, disappointment now painting his face.

"I know, but seriously! I am—"

"Felix! Enough. You're role is the Bad Boy. And that seems to fit you even better." Felix sat back down, now content with his role.

"Hell yeah. I can so do Bad Boy."

"I know. So, Kale, I trust you can handle being the leader? So I need to set a few requirements for each of you. Mattie, you need to get a cute companion. I recommend getting a cute little puppy that you can fit in a tiny bag. Tanner, you need ripped jeans. Makes you look like you've had some accidents. Kale, you need a girlfriend. Make it a cute girl with ambition. Felix, you need to flirt a lot. You also need dark clothes and guyliner."

"How am I supposed to get a girlfriend?"

"Why do I have to get a dog?"

"I need money to buy jeans..."

"I already have the things I need!" Everyone stared at Felix. "What, I flirt a lot, and I own dark clothes. I can borrow some eyeliner from Blix or Libby." Kale rolled his eyes.

"I have one requirement for all of you. You need to hate Big Time Rush with all your hearts. We hate them. We hate Rocque Records. And so do you. Kendall Knight, the leader if Big Time Rush," Rebecca showed them a picture of a tall blond with bushy eyebrows. "You hate him. James Diamond, The Face," Rebecca held out another picture, "You hate him. Carlos Garcia, the fun loving maniac," another picture, "You hate him. And Logan Mitchell, the brains," picture, "you hate him too. Oh, and they all live at the Palm Woods. You only speak to them if you're fighting. You diss them constantly and never shall you enjoy their company. Stay away from them otherwise. You are dismissed for the day. Remember what you were told." Then Rebecca promptly pushed them out of the studio and into the same car they arrived in.

"I don't know how to get a girlfriend..."

"This is why I would be a better leader, but alas, I'm an even better Bad Boy. Here, as soon we get back home, you are going to flirt with the first girl you see."

"I don't think I can do that."

"You are going to. I am not letting you disobey the bossman!"

"Fine" Kale grunted.

"I need to go shopping. Mattie, you with me?" Tanner asked.

"I guess. I need to get a dog..."

X~X~X~X~X

Upon entering the Palm Woods, Kale saw that there still weren't many people in the lobby; it was still early. Unfortunately, he spotted a short blond girl sitting on a couch with a script in front of her. And of course Felix saw her too. Without hesitation, he pushed him in her direction, hard.

Being as light and easy to push as he is, he pretty much flew into the seat next to the girl. The initial impact to the couch caught her attention.

"May I help you?" the girl asked in a semi sweet, semi nasally voice.

"Um, hi, I'm Kale,"

"I'm Piper. And I like you accent."

"Thanks." Awkwardness. Crap, what do I say? "Um, so what are you reading?" She laughed.

"I'm going of the script of the musical I'm in."

"Ah, you sing. Well, so do I. I'm in a boy band" She laughed very hard that time.

"Boy band? Are you serious?" He nodded. She stopped laughing. "Oh. Well... that's interesting. Hey, so you're like Big Time Rush!"

"Well, yeah, but we were told not to like them."

"Well that will be hard. They are so super nice! I met them the other day when I got here. Kendall is so sweet—"

"That's great. Listen... my boss is making me... get a girlfriend cuz it would help with my role as leader of the group—"

"You? Leader?" she started laughing again and he waited until she calmed down to continue.

"And I'm just trying to get on his good side. Can you help me out?" Even though you're kind of rude and a little weird... he thought. She paused for a moment. Suddenly she had moved in close and forced his arm to wrap around her shoulders.

"Sure. You're kinda cute so why not." Felix saw most of this from afar and was pretty much laughing his ass off. He didn't think he had pushed Kale into such a controlling girl but it seemed to work to Hawk's plan perfectly. She is ambitious... She definitely knows how to get what she wants. A second later he saw the girl stand up, holding onto Kale's hand with her own. He saw Kale say a few words and she physically pulled him up and forced her lips onto his. Felix collapsed on the floor, laughing and Kale was shocked into submission; he let it happen. She pulled away from him, picked up her script, and walked away.

Felix managed to get back up and walk over, still chuckling, to the dumbfounded Kale, who hasn't even moved. "So..."

"That was Piper. My girlfriend... I think..." And that just made Felix laugh more.

:PP I'm sorry, I had to. Rawny said she wanted to be in the story because she helped me come up with the title. SOOO expect some crazy-bitch-Piper because Rawny is sometimes one crazy bitch. But I LUH YOU STILL! As for you, Miss Frosty, I'm sorry, but she said she wanted Kale :P If you're upset about it you can just punch her again. LOL I have weird friends.
