From here on out, anything sang is italicized.

P.O.V.: Krystyna Louisa Mitchell

"Guys! Can I get a little help?" I asked as I tried to carry my brother to the car.

"You knock him out, you get to carry him," Ken Doll said. James was about to help me when Kendall stopped him.

"For the sake of punishment, James," he said. I scowled. I lost my balance and fell backwards, Logan on top of me. I shoved the unconscious boy off of me, catching my breath before standing up.

"He shouldn't be out much longer…" I said, panting from carrying Logan's weight. Carlos sighed and helped me support my unconscious brother, taking his left arm as I took his right. We all piled into the car. We soon got to Rocque Records and Carlos and I took Logan inside. We saw Gustavo, a large man with sunglasses on.

"What happened to Logan? And who's this?" Gustavo said.

"He was attacking me and my girlfriend, and she hit a pressure point and knocked him out," James said.

"And I'm Logan's sister-slash-James' girlfriend," I said. Logan started to stir.

"What happened?" he asked.

"Are you okay to stand?" Carlos asked. Logan shook his head, indicating that he wasn't.

"Okay, boys, and sister-slash-boyfriend, I want to try something. Girl, what's your name?" Gustavo said.

"That's Krystye," the boys said.

"Okay, can you sing?" Gustavo said.

"Yeah," James said dreamily.

"She can totally sing. She and James sang a duet in our school's talent show freshman year. They won first prize," Kendall said.

"Interesting… I want to try something. Krystye, get in the booth. I'm gonna audition you," Gustavo said. Kendall took my place in supporting Logan, but Logan insisted he could stand, but failed in proving it by stumbling. Carlos helped him to a nearby couch.

"Okay, do you know anything at all about music theory?" Gustavo asked. I nodded from inside the booth.

"Sing me do, mi, so, do on key of F," Gustavo said, giving me the key on a nearby piano. I did as told. James looked as if he was starstruck. He fainted, falling back into Carlos, who caught him.

"Not bad. Sure had an effect on James… Sing the first song that comes to mind when I say the word duet," Gustavo said.

"Logan's a nerd!" I sang to the tune of Joy to the World. Logan stood perfectly and entered the booth. I sang the line again.

"Logan's a nerd!"

"Shut it!"

"Make me!"

"Shut it!"

"Make me!"

"Shut it! You made the key too high!"

"I really do not care! You sing like a girl anyway! You sing like a girl anyway! You si-ing, you sing like a girl anyway!" my voice rang out.

"You're good. I declare that one or more of your demo songs be a duet with her! I may even add her to the band! It'll increase your currently nonexistent fanbase," Gustavo said. All three of the conscious guys smiled, nodding their heads. James woke suddenly.

"Did you say Krystye may be in the band? If so, I'm all for it!" James said.

"Let's write your first hit!" Gustavo said as he sat at his piano.

"You're dismissed, all five of you!" he shouted. We all left with a goodbye, piling into the car.

"I think Gustavo really likes you, Krystyna Mitchell," James said, kissing my forehead.

"You think so, James Diamond," I said.

"So, why'd we go up there?" Kendall asked.

"I don't know, Ken Doll," I said.

"Don't call me that!" Kendall protested. James and I burst out laughing. Carlos suddenly seemed to get an idea.

"Krystye, sing a note, any note, and sing it on 'ooh!'" Carlos said excitedly. I shrugged and sang a note near the middle of my range. Carlos sang a note an octave below. James sang a note three steps lower than my note. Kendall sang a note two steps higher than Carlos' note. Logan finished off the chord by singing the note two steps higher than mine. It made a pretty chord.

"That was AWESOME!" Carlos said excitedly.

"I loved your song, Krystyna," James whispered in my ear. I giggled.

"Camper on camper!" Logan shouted. James moved back to his seat, pouting. I giggled.

"Hey, Mitchell twins, put in your earphones!" Kendall said. We did as told, and soon, I was listening to my favorite song, unable to hear anything but the music.

P.O.V. change: Kendall Knight

"Okay, guys, can you hear me? Okay. Guys, it's their birthday tomorrow. Let's take them home and we'll go present shopping. Sound fun?" I asked James and Carlos.

"Totally!" Carlos said. James nodded and gave a thumbs-up. He tapped Krystye on the shoulder and motioned for her to take her earbuds out.

P.O.V. change: James Diamond

She smiled.

"Hey, we're taking you guys home, and then Carlos, Kendall, and I are going to run some errands," I said. She nodded, smiling. We arrived at the Palm Woods, Carlos and Kendall pushing Logan and Krystye out of the car. Once the doors were shut and we were going again, I started yelling.

"What the hell was that for?" I shouted.

"I don't know," Kendall said.

"If Krystye has any scratches because of you, I'll wring your necks!" I shouted.

"Chill out, James!" Carlos said.

"Fine. But the threat still stands. Now, let's find some presents for the twins!" I said. We went from store to store, finding nothing suitable for either of the Mitchell twins!

"Okay, it is official! Logan and Krystye are HARD to shop for!" I complained. I then remembered what Krystye had wanted for her birthday! And it wasn't even that expensive! I took off running, Kendall and Carlos trying to follow. I walked into the next shop and bought Krystye's birthday present.

"Dude, what'd you buy?" Kendall asked.

"Nothing too expensive," I said as the clerk went to the back to gift wrap it. He handed me a small orange box with a black ribbon and red tag. I signed my name on the 'from' line, and wrote Krystye's name on the 'to' line.

"Orange and black?" Carlos asked.

"Her favorite colors," I said back.

"How much did you spend?" Kendall asked.

"Not much," I said, looking at my receipt in the middle of my words.

"Okay, we're in… wow," Kendall said as he looked around. The store was full of girly things like dolls, make-up, clothes, accessories, and a few other various items.

"I don't think shopping for Logan would work in here," Carlos said.

"Naw, duh. Now, let's get out before someone makes fun of us," I said. Kendall and Carlos left without protest. I followed. We went into a different store to search for things both twins would like.

This continued for three hours. We had 12 boxes to carry total, and I had to get my phone out to call Krystye or Logan. I did so without dropping the boxes. I hit the speed dial.

"Hey, Krystye! We'll be home real soon! Yeah, we finished all of the errands! Yes, I missed you. Okay, love you, bye!" I said, then dropped my phone. I managed to put the boxes in the car neatly and pick up my phone all in one move. Carlos and Kendall did the same with their boxes. We drove back to the Palm Woods.

"Guys, I think they'll think we're carrying their presents if we do it like this!" Carlos said.

"Okay, I think I have a plan! Camille!" Kendall shouted, and the mentioned girl appeared in front of us.

"Okay, can you distract the Mitchell twins from 2J?" Kendall asked.

"Totally. Take the back elevator, and I'll distract them to the front elevator," she said as she went to the elevator up to 2J. We took the back elevator.

"Let's hide them in my room," Carlos said.

"Couldn't agree more," I said. I peeked around the corner, and Camille was running. The twins were running after her. We ran to the apartment and to Carlos' room. We stowed them in the closet and ran to the living room. Logan slammed the door open.

"I can't believe Camille stole it!" Logan complained.

"I know, right? Ella es muy, muy loca," Krystye agreed. She'd been speaking Spanglish since she learned Spanish in the tenth grade.

"What'd she steal?" Carlos had the bravery to ask.

"She stole my first place spelling bee trophy from fourth grade!" Logan complained. Krystye sighed.

"Come on, the only reason you won that is because I was sick!" Krystye complained. Logan shot her a death glare.

"You are NOT the smart one! I am!" Logan said.

"No, I am!" Krystye replied.

"I am!"

"No, I am!"

"No, I am!"

"No, I am!"

"Will both of you just shut up!" Kendall shouted.

"I'll be in mine and James' room," Krystye said before leaving.

Time skip: the next morning

P.O.V. change: Logan Mitchell

I woke with a start at the crack of noon. Gustavo didn't want to see us today, so I slept in. I felt a whole year older. It's my birthday, which made me seventeen. I got dressed in a sweater vest and jeans and walked to the living room, where Mama Knight greeted me with a birthday greeting. I heard excited screaming, and saw Krystye run out of her bedroom fully dressed in her forest green dress. She was holding a card that looked handmade.

"Look what I found under my pillow this morning!" Krystye said.

"I made that by hand just for you on your seventeenth birthday," James said as he embraced her from behind.

"Happy birthday, buddy," he said to me.

"So, what are the plans?" I asked.

"You guys are going to eat brunch before you pass out from hunger, then you'll open your presents," Mama Knight said, handing us each a plate with eggs and bacon.

"Thanks, Mama Knight," I said as I sat down at the table to eat. Krystye was trying to get James off of her so she could eat.

"Okay, you love me, it's my birthday, now GET OFF!" she said. James obeyed with a smile.

"Happy birthday, you guys!" Carlos said as he embraced me and my sister at the same time.

"Thanks, guys," I said, shoving Carlos off of me.

Once we finished eating, Carlos and Kendall went to fetch the presents. They came out stumbling to keep the boxes balanced. Carlos had Krystye's while Kendall had mine. I gave Krystye the one I got for her, and she gave me my present from her.

"Krystye, open the blue one first!" Carlos said excitedly. Krystye smiled and unwrapped the small box.

"Sweet! How'd you know?" Krystye said as she looked at the gift in her hand. Carlos had gotten her the newest album from her favorite artist, Jordin Sparks.

"Open the one I gave you, big bro!" Krystye said. I grabbed the yellow box and opened it. Inside was a trophy. I looked at the engraving and read it aloud.

"To Logan Mitchell for being the best twin brother ever. Love, Krystyna Mitchell," I read. I heard Katie, Mama Knight, James, and Carlos all 'aww' at the present.

"Thanks, little sister," I said as I hugged my twin.

"You needed another trophy for your room. I saw it and thought of you," she said.

"Open mine," I said to her. She opened it to find half of a silver friendship necklace. She looked at me, and I revealed that I was wearing the other half.

"Thanks, Logan," she said as she put it on. In the end, I had a stethoscope, a medical book, a wig (very funny, James), and a few other items. Krystye had a small pile of CDs, a bracelet, a dress, and one unopened present that James had instructed her not to open just yet. We thanked everyone for the presents and went to put them away.

P.O.V. change: James Diamond

After Krystye went to our room with her gifts from today, I joined her, holding the gift she didn't take with her; the gift I told her not to unwrap just yet. She was startled when she saw me.

"God, quit scaring me like that!" she said as she placed the last CD down on the dresser.

"Sorry," I said, "do you want your present? You can unwrap it now." Krystye smiled and nodded. She sat down on her bed with the gift and lifted the lid. She gasped in excitement.

"A necklace?" she said, gazing at the jewels.

"The jewels are fake, but if I could, I would have gotten you real ones. They're supposed to be diamonds, from your James Diamond," I said, laying a hand on hers. I took the necklace and put it around her neck, on top of the friendship necklace Logan had given her. She turned to face me and kissed me on the lips, catching me off-guard. Once she broke the kiss, I smirked my usual heart-warming smile.

"You're cute when you smile like that," she said.

"I know."
