A Big Time Rush Story: Fame & Fortune

The elevator doors opened and we headed out, in search of our room.

"8J… 8J…" Haley muttered, searching around for the number. "8J… here it is!"

I just then realized something. "I don't have a key." I stated.

"Let's just bang on the door then."

And we did. If Bitters heard us, we probably would have got our first strike then and there.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, I'M COMING!" My aunt yelled and I heard footsteps coming down a hallway. She opened the door and rolled her eyes. "I should have known it was you two knocking like crazy. What took you so long?"

"We met some people." I said, simply. If I didn't need to, I wasn't going to tell her about them being guys.

"Who? Were they nice?"

"They were the boys of Big Time Rush, yes, and they were HOT!" Haley said, excitedly.

~James's POV~

There were two new girls at the Palmwoods and they were good looking too. Megan had brown hair with dark purple streaks that blended in with her hair that she flipped out and she had pretty blue-green eyes. And freckles were a plus. The other girl, Haley, I think her name was, had brown shoulder length hair and chocolate colored eyes.

"James? James? JAMES?" Kendall asked me, waving a hand in front of my face.

"WHAT?" I yelled. 'I was thinking!"

"You? Thinking?" Logan asked, shocked and then chuckled. "Girls?"

"Yeah." I replied, trying to act casual.

"Was it about the new girls?" Carlos asked me. "You can't call both of them, you always get the girls!"

"No, only…" I trailed off. They didn't need to know all about my love life.

"Only who?" Kendall asked, eying me suspiciously. I think all of us were affected by Megan and Haley. I mean they weren't drop-dead gorgeous like some girls but they had a nice personality about them and they were cute.

"Megan's pretty, isn't she?" Logan said, lightly. "It would be nice to ask her out..."

"Don't you even DARE!" I yelled. Whoops… I guess my secrets out now. So much for keeping it quiet.

"You like Megan!" Kendall, Logan, and Carlos said in unison.

~Megan's POV~

I had to tell Aunt Diana everything, thanks to Haley and like all adults; Aunt Diana asked tons of questions. Most of them I tried to blow off, but one I couldn't avoid.

"Do you like any of them?" Aunt Diana persisted farther.

"Sure, I like them. They're nice." I stated.

"I mean like, Like."

"Uh… I don't know…" I mumbled.

Aunt Diana rolled her eyes. "We'll continue later. Take your things back to your room. You two have to share a room. Is that fine?"

"Yeah, of course!" We both said. "We've known each other forever."

"Okay. That's good. Your room is past the living room and you turn right."

We headed to our room, dragging our bags behind us. Our mouths dropped open. The room was spacious and had two beds, a flat screen TV, two desks, and a mini fridge.

"A mini fridge?" Haley exclaimed and she flopped on the bed.

"So the Palmwoods has nice rooms." I told Haley but when she didn't answer, I turned and found her asleep. "Of course…" I muttered, shaking my head and laughing.

I unpacked my things and half of Haley's when she woke up. Aunt Diana had already gone to bed and everything was silent.

"Hey, Meg… what time is it?" she asked, groggily.

"Uh… around 10, I guess."

"Oh my gosh! I need to unpack! Let me unpack the rest." Haley jumped off the bed and walked over to her bags.

She unpacked in silence while I took a rest on the bed. Flashes of the boys in the lobby were in my head. I couldn't shake the image of James and the look on his face when we saw him. Kendall was friendly too though. I had to get my mind off them. "Haley, you want anything from the kitchen?" I asked her when I was at the door frame.

"Sure. Get me some chocolate or Oreos and milk or something."

"You're going to be up all night." I told her.

"Yeah, I know but I need to go over my lines for the commercial tomorrow."

"I do too. Oreos and milk it is." I went out to the kitchen quietly, afraid to wake Aunt Diana. I found the pack of Oreos, a carton of milk, and two paper cups. "Here we go. Snack for two."

"Awesome! Double stuffed!" That was just like her. We ate the Oreos in silence until Haley asked the question I was trying to avoid. "Do you like any of the guys that we met?"

"Uh… why do you ask?" I said, trying to stay calm.

"Just wondering. I mean we're like sisters right, so we can tell each other anything. I kind of like Carlos and James and Kendall are cute but Logan's super nice…" She trailed off, thinking about the boys.

"Haley, I don't think it's a good idea to be crushing on all four."

"I won't crush on the one you like. C'mon, tell me!" If Haley was like she always is, she was going to keep on bugging me.

"Okay, okay, okay! Pushy much… I guess James or… Kendall."

"You and James would be cute together. He wanted to know our room number!"

"Yeah, I guess so…" We thought about it in silence till I heard Haley's quiet snoring. "Haley… Haley… Haley…" I left the room as quietly as I could with my script in hand. I tip-toed through the kitchen so I would make no noise getting to the door. Once in the elevator, I thought about Big Time Rush. They were hard Not to think about… I sat down on a couch and said my lines out loud. Everyone was asleep so I didn't need to worry… well, except for Mr. Bitters. I was way past curfew.

"…And if you buy Captain Crunch, for a limited time you'll get a free toy inside." I laughed at myself, I sounded so stupid. I tried to say my lines again but I got too…

"Hey, Megan! Megan, wake up! I don't think you should be sleeping in the lobby." A distant voice said.

"I think we should push her off the couch!" Another voice said, excitedly.

"If she's like me, she would probably want her beauty sleep!" Yet another voice said.

I then felt my body hit the floor and I shot up quickly. "Hey! Did you really have to knock me off the couch… Carlos?"

"I wasn't the only one that did it… Kendall did too!"

"I really don't care. Why'd you guys wake me up?

"You were asleep in the lobby." Logan pointed out.

"So?"

"Mr. Bitters would kick you out, literally."

"Oh, well… thanks than I guess."

Carlos picked my script off the floor. "Ooh! Captain Crunch! Can you bring me a box?"

"I don't know, Carlos! It's a prop!"

"Fine, then. I just wanted some Captain Crunch." Carlos started to mutter.

"How come you were down here instead of in your apartment?" Kendall asked.

"Since when do you have to know everything about me?" I asked back.

"We're just curious." Kendall grinned.

"Whatever." I looked and all of them and groaned. "If you have to know, it's hard to practice when your best friend is asleep in your room and when you can't practice anywhere else because of an aunt who thinks every tiny noise is some killer so I came down here."

"Oh, that makes sense."

"Now it's your guys' turn." I looked at all of them. "I've spilled about everything. Why are you guys up this early?"
