"Dogs, I just wrote the best song ever!" Gustavo said as the guys walked in to the studio. "It's so good that I know you'll love it!"
The guys looked at Gustavo with great anticipation, waiting for this new amazing song to be unveiled. James inched closer to Gustavo. The guys knew James was hoping it would be a solo just for him.
"You dogs better not mess it up!" Gustavo warned.
"Gustavo, when have we ever messed up a song?" The guys said in unison.
Gustavo thought for a minute then finally said, "doesn't mean you won't! "
The guys looked at each other with a that's-true look. They went into the recording booth and waited for directions.
"This song is about when the girl you like doesn't like you back." Said Gustavo.
"Why can't we do a song about monkeys? I like monkeys!" Said Carlos.
"Personally, I'm tired of sappy love songs about girls." Kendall said trying not to think about Jo. James and Logan muttered in agreement.
"I don't care!" Gustavo screamed. "You sing whatever song I tell you to sing!"
The boys, too tired to argue, accepted defeat and started vocal exercises before singing. They read over the song Gustavo handed. James looked at the others eagerly ready to sing. The others just wanted to get it all over with. James began the first verse and then Carlos and Logan began harmonizing. Just when Kendall was going to start the chorus, Griffin walked in with a beautiful girl about the same age as the guys.
"Griffin, you can't just barge in and disturb my recording session!" Gustavo said angrily.
"Yes. I can." Said Griffin coolly as Gustavo rolled his eyes. "This here is my niece, Leila." He continues motioning to the girl. Leila had curly auburn hair and blemish free, slightly golden skin. She had dark blue eyes and a small nose. She was a little shorter than Carlos with a small figure. All the boys stared in awe. "She's the new face of Roque Records!" Griffin announced.
"WHAT!" Gustavo exclaimed. "What about Big Time Rush?"
"They are being put on hold until my niece gets at least 15 songs for her debut album! The only song they're going to record until then is a duet with Leila." Griffin stated.
Gustavo thought about arguing some more but he knew it would be a waste. "Fine! Can the dogs at least record one song?"
"Fine. Leila you can stay and watch while I take your brother to the Palmwoods to check you both in." Griffin said to Leila. "When I come back to get her I want at least one song written for her Gustavo!"
"Uncle Griffin," Leila finally spoke with a sweet, melodic voice, "who are these guys?"
"These guys are Big Time Rush. They are the current face of Roque Records." He answered. "Make sure they all introduce themselves Gustavo. And take good care of her or else!"
Griffin left while Leila went to sit in the corner near the studio window. Gustavo made it so both of them could hear the guys record. Gustavo began the music for the song and the guys began singing. The guys looked nervous. This was the first time anyone other than Gustavo and Kelly heard them recording.
The guys finished recording the song after the second time. They had to stop when James started singing everyone's part. Gustavo made them come out o the studio to meet Leila.
"Leila, these are the dogs." Gustavo said.
"I thought they were Big Time Rush not The Dogs." She said innocently.
"I call them dogs because they never listen to me!" He yelled in Kendall's face. "They need to be trained!"
James pushed the others aside to introduce himself to her. "Hi, I'm James. I like long walks on the beach and take pretty girls like you with me." He grabbed her hand and kissed it.
Carlos pushed James before Leila could say anything." I'm Carlos and I like making girls laugh." He said with a cute puppy dog smile. She shook his hand and opened her mouth to introduce herself but Logan interrupted her.
"Sorry about these two," he said, intercepting Carlos and Leila, "their a bunch of goofballs. I'm Logan by the way." He said extending his hand forward to shake hers.
"It's a pleasure to meet you guys." She shook his hand while scanning the others with her eyes.
Her gaze fell upon Kendall. She wondered why he hadn't introduced himself.
Kendall was in deep thought about his dream and what it meant. It took him a while to realize Leila was staring at him.
"Oh," he thought aloud, "my bad. I'm Kendall."
"I'm Leila." She said shaking his hand. Neither of them let go.
"Sorry, I was in deep thought." He said.
"A deep thinker. I like that. Rare to find these days." She said with a flirtatious smile. They finally let go of each other's hands.
