A/N: So this is going to be a threeshot, and the third chapter might go up on Friday depending on what I can get done tomorrow, sorry. Anyways, enjoy!
Thanksgiving Afternoon: The Arrival
The time was two o'clock in the afternoon on Thanksgiving day. The location was a second floor apartment at the Palmwoods in Los Angeles, California. And the situation?
Logan Mitchell sat on the infamous orange couch in apartment 2J, arms crossed, and not without a pout. In the kitchen to his left his surrogate mother and sister were cooking all of the dishes for that evening.
Carlos Garcia sat beside him, staring at him and saying, "C'mon, Logie! It's not that bad! There will always be other Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parades! Stop pouting, please!"
Logan sat like a brick for a while, not responding and pouting. After a awhile, though, he couldn't ignore Carlos any longer.
"Ok Carlos, I'm SORRY that I missed my favorite part of Thanksgiving just because YOU and JAMES and KENDALL couldn't get your act together and help me!"
"What do you mean? We all helped! Eventually…"
"Yeah, you helped, after the HOUR it took to get that card off of your finger and the TWO hours that it took for James to choose an outfit and the FIVE hours that it took for Kendall to be on his date, you all helped alright. But it didn't matter by then, because the parade was already OVER!"
Carlos sat and looked down sadly for a moment, but then looked up with a smile. "Well, would you be happy if I told you that we recorded it?"
Logan gave Carlos a glare. "That's not even funny, Carlos. Stop teasing."
"But I'm not joking, Logie! We all knew that you were going to miss at least part of it, so we taped it from beginning to end!" Carlos said.
As if on cue James appeared behind the couch and dropped a black tape in Logan's lap.
Logan's eyes immediately lit up, and he rambled on thanking James and Carlos. He pulled the two in for a hug and squeezed them so tight that they turned blue, until James spoke up, saying, "Logan…choking us!"
Logan let go immediately and blushed, rubbing his neck bashfully.
There was suddenly a loud knock that rang throughout the apartment, and everyone looked towards the door.
Except for James, that is, who immediately let out a high pitched shriek and yelled, "No! I'm not ready yet! I'M NOT READY!"
He ran to the bathroom and slammed the door loudly.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Knight was approaching the door, and everyone was rising to greet whoever it was.
She grabbed the handle and slowly pulled open the door.
"Hey!" she said to whoever it was. "Come on in!"
"Thanks." A voice replied and it was revealed to be Camille.
"Wow, am I the first one here?" She asked looking around.
"Yeah, but someone always has to be first, right?" Mrs. Knight said.
"I guess yeah. Hey guys!" she said.
Carlos and Logan went over and gave her a hug, with Logan's lasting a bit longer.
"So where are Kendall and James at?"
"Oh, Kendall is in the shower and James is…being obsessive."
"Ah.." she said and nodded.
As if on cue James arrived from the bathroom, smiling and hugging Camille.
Mrs. Knight and Katie went back to cooking in the kitchen, which just left an awkward James, Logan, Carlos and Camille.
"Soo…." Camille said, looking around awkwardly.
"Want to…watch some TV?" Carlos asked.
"Sure, I guess." Camille said.
And so they watched TV.
Of course, until there was another knock on the door, this time by Tyler and his mother, who went to watch TV and talk with Mrs. Knight while she was cooking, respectively.
Then there was another knock, this time by Buddha Bob and Bitters.
"Why did we invite Bitters?" James asked Logan.
"I think Mama Knight felt bad for him or something…"
Then there was another knock, the final one which was by, of course, Jo and her father.
They stepped into the small apartment after James opened the door for them, Mr. Taylor with his arm around his daughter.
He was actually smiling, until Jo asked quaintly, "So where's Kendall?"
James opened his mouth to respond, but said boy appeared out of his room in the hallway by the front door.
"Hey." He said with a large grin on his face.
"Hey." She replied.
With her father being there and all, they decided to just shake hands.
Jo went to the couch to watch TV with everyone, while Mr. Taylor went to the kitchen and sat on a stool with all of the other adults. Jo noticed out of the corner of her eye her Dad looking over occasionally, though.
Everyone talked and watched TV for a while, until about twenty minutes later when Mrs. Knight called out, "James, honey, can you come watch this stuff in the oven while I give everyone a tour of the apartment?"
James reluctantly went to the kitchen and listened as Mrs. Knight told him instructions for everything. He nodded blindly even though he wasn't really listening, and then he was alone in the kitchen.
He leaned over the counter and thought about random things like beauty products and hot girls until he was pulled out of his thoughts by a distinct odor.
He sniffed a few times and looked around for the source of the smell, until his eyes landed on the oven, which had smoke bustling out of it.
James gasped and dashed over to the oven, throwing the door open and jumping back when flames exploded out at him.
James started panicking and got handfuls of water out of the sink. It wasn't very successful, though, because by the time he reached the oven most had spilled on the floor.
He quickly closed the oven and called out, "Logan, can you help me with something?"
Logan looked over irritated, saying, "Can it wait because I'm kind of talking to Camille right now, so…"
"Logan get your ass in here this instant!" James yelled.
Logan sighed and trudged over to the kitchen, where he asked annoyed, "What?"
James brought Logan to the oven and opened the door just a slit.
A bit of fire pushed its way out and Logan immediately became alert.
"Why did you let it light on fire?"
"Oh, yeah, Logan, because it totally asked me whether it could do it or not!"
"It doesn't matter, you should've been paying attention!"
"I zoned out, okay! My Bad!" he said, putting his hands up.
"Yes, it is your bad! Now quickly get the fire extinguisher before somebody smells smoke!"
Too late.
"What's that smell?" Jo asked from the living area.
Logan gave a slight chuckle and said, "Oh, you know, just food, haha, bleep blap bloop!"
"THen why is smoke coming out of the oven?" Kendall asked.
But before anyone could answer, Camille said, "You lit the oven on fire, didn't you?"
"Yes, alright! We lit the oven on fire, so somebody, please just find the fire extinguisher!" James said.
Everyone sprang up from the couch and ran around the apartment looking for one.
"I don't think there is one!" Kendall yelled frantically.
"Ohmygosh fire is so exciting!" Carlos yelled.
"Carlos!" everyone scolded.
"Maybe we can just use water?" Jo asked.
James was one step ahead of her, getting a bucket and filling it with water.
"On three." He said to Logan and he nodded.
"One…two…THREE!"
Logan threw the oven open and James threw the water at the fire, but instead of putting it out, it only caused the fire to explode even more.
"What do we do now?" James asked frantically.
"I don't know, but maybe you should close the oven before the fire spreads!" Camille pointed out.
Logan kicked the oven door so it closed, but it didn't matter because the glass exploded and fire burst out.
"What's going on down here…OH MY GOD!" Mrs. Knight yelled as she ran out into the kitchen, followed by all of the adults and Katie.
She went behind a small table by the door and pulled out a fire extinguisher, yelling, "OUT OF MY WAY!"
Everyone obeyed and jumped out of her way as she ran forward, pointing the nozzle of the extinguisher towards the flame.
Once she was close enough, she pulled the pin from the top and squeezed, aiming towards the center of the flame.
After about a minute of spraying, she stopped and set the extinguisher down with a sigh.
Everyone stood in shocked silence for a while until Carlos realized something and dropped down onto his knees.
"All of the food is burnt! NOOO!"
"No, no, the turkey is fine because it is in the top oven…unfortunately I can't say the same for all of the sides…."
A/N: So, I know that was the worst possible ending, but I couldn't think of any good endings, so that's what you get!
Sorry if this chapter sucked, but I was irritable while writing it because every time I capitalize a letter at the beginning of a word, the second letter would get capitalized too, like if I typed Carlos it always comes out CArlos. And on top of that, my family was watching a movie that would get silent for like 5 minutes a lot, and that annoyed me.
But enough about my issues haha…
So, I've listened to Elevate, and it is AMAZING! All Over Again is my favorite and it almost made me cry. I can't stop listening to any of the songs either….
So, I'll stop rambling now. Review please? The more reviews I get, the more likely it is that I will update tomorrow instead of Friday!
Bye!
