I bet just by the title you're wondering who the funeral is for. You'll find out soon enough so read on! (I actually thought about incorporating this into my other story, Big Time Break, but decided it would be better if I just made it a one-shot instead).

Big Time Funeral

"Gustavo really pushed us to the grindstone today," Carlos said tossing his helmet on the counter as the boys entered their apartment 2J of the Palm Woods.

"If I never do another back flip again it'll be too soon." Logan collapsed on a stool at the counter.

"I don't know what you're complaining about. He said my dancing was spot on," James walked in happily.

"I think that's the first compliment he's ever given you." Kendall followed.

"I got a call from Minnesota today," Mrs. Knight spoke up from the orange couch. "Mrs. Majecowksi passed away last night."

"Oh no," the guys said together. They crowded around Mrs. Knight and Katie on the couch.

"The visitation is Thursday and the funeral is Friday."

"We're definitely going," Kendall said.

"No, you're not!" Gustavo shouted at them the next day in the studio. "We've got a tour coming up that you guys need to rehearse for!"

"I think we should let them go," Kelly said.

"It's Mrs. Majecowski!" Carlos said.

"I don't know who that is," Gustavo started in a shout and ended in a normal voice.

"If it wasn't for her we never would have made it to the audition," James said.

"What did she have to do with that?" Gustavo asked.

"She drove us there," Carlos said.

"I thought Logan drove you there?" Kelly questioned.

"He did," Kendall explained, "but all he had was his learner's permit. We tried contacting our parents but couldn't get a hold of anyone so we went to my next door neighbor, Mrs. Majecowski, and offered to shovel her sidewalk,"

"Which we never got to," Logan interrupted.

"But, we did make up for it by offering to mow her lawn," James added.

"Which we never got to."

"Enough about how you guys are horrible people who never make good on your promises!" Gustavo shouted.

"We made up for it by giving her Sebastian," Carlos countered.

"Anyways," Kendall continued, "Mrs. Majecowski didn't think she was able to drive at night, but we were able to use her car and she sat as the adult so Logan could drive."

"Without her we would have had to walk," Logan added.

"And since we barely made the audition as it was we would have never made it had we walked," James finished.

"If we missed the audition you wouldn't have us," Carlos wrapped his arm around Gustavo's shoulders.

"All right, all right!" Gustavo knocked Carlos's arm off him. "You can go. You'll leave Thursday and return Friday night after the funeral. I'm working you extra hard until then to make up for the time we'll be missing."

Finally, Thursday morning arrived and the guys flew from California to Minnesota with Mrs. Knight and Katie. Griffin had arranged for a car to take them to the visitation, the funeral, and to the Knight home where they would be spending the night. They didn't want to make a big to-do about them being in Minnesota but each boy had called his parents. Well, not Kendall seeing as his mom was with him. After the visitation they planned for everyone to have dinner at the Diamonds, since it was the biggest of the four houses.

They stepped into the funeral parlor to an open casket at the front of the room. An older man they assumed was Mrs. Majecowski's son sat in a chair near the front. Quietly, the four boys walked to the front of the room. Mrs. Knight and Katie hung back to give them space.

"Of all the things we did," Logan began.

"We never said thank you," Kendall added.

"Thank you for everything you've done," James continued.

"We could have been more appreciative about it," Carlos finished.

"She was real proud of you boys," a voice said behind them.

"Sebastian!" James exclaimed turning around to see his old butler/chauffer.

"Hello, James, boys. Every time she heard your songs on the radio she made me turn it up real loud."

"She always said 'if not for me there would be no Big Time Rush," another voice said. "I'm Thomas, her son."

"Sorry for your loss," Kendall said.

"She lived a good life," Thomas replied.

The four boys, Sebastian, and Thomas bowed their heads in remembrance not knowing what else to say or do. Mrs. Knight and Katie joined them.

"She was a very good neighbor," Mrs. Knight said to Thomas. "If ever we needed anything—"

"Like a drive to an audition," Carlos interrupted.

"Like a drive to an audition," Mrs. Knight repeated, "or someone to watch Katie or Kendall when he was younger, she was always there for us."

"That's Mom."

"Mrs. Majecowksi was a wonderful lady and I'm proud to have known her." The speaker stepped down from the podium and made his way back to his seat.

"Thank you for the kind words," Thomas spoke. "And now I'd like to introduce four boys who owe a lot to my mother: James Diamond, Carlos Garcia, Kendall Knight, and Logan Mitchell."

"We're really singers not speakers," Kendall began.

"But we owe a lot to Mrs. Majecowski," James continued.

"So we decided it was best if we said a few words," Logan added.

"Thanking her for everything she's done for us," Carlos finished.

"As you probably know we are Big Time Rush," Kendall kept going. "But, we wouldn't be Big Time Rush without Mrs. Majecowski." He began the story of using the sweet lady next door to help them get to Gustavo's audition.

"Without her," James concluded. "Kendall'd probably be playing professional hockey, Logan would be a doctor, Carlos would be, well, no one's sure what would happen to Carlos, and I would not be fulfilling my dream. We might very well be separated now attending different colleges in who knows where. But, thanks to Mrs. Majecowski being home and having a car we were able to make it it to the audition, fulfill my dream of becoming famous, and fulfill Kendall's dream of being together."

"Thank you, Mrs. Majecowski," all four boys said simultaneously.
