"Imma pick you up, Imma pick you up. Whatcha tryna' say to me. Catch a train at two, whatcha tryna' do? Are you gonna play with me?"

-Adam Lambert; Pick U Up

Near the back of the train in the first class cart, were four boys. The four boys known as BIG TIME RUSH, James, Logan, Kendall, and Carlos.

"Ugh. I am so pissed off that we are riding in a train. Nobody rides the train," Kendall said sounding annoyed.

"Well, then, apparently we're nobodies," responded Logan.

"Guys, guys, guys. I'm sure there's a good reason we're riding to New York in a train," James said calmly as he swept the hair from his eyes.

The train hit a bump so hard, that it sent the boys who were sitting there at least a foot off their seat.

Kendall gritted his teeth together. "Yeah there better be one damn good reason we're on this train."

Carlos ran in out of breath. "Dude! Come quick! There's a buffet cart two carts down!" he exclaimed.

The boys struggled out the doorway to get to the exit door of the cart. They looked down to find that, obviously, the train was moving. They all looked at each other nervously.

"We have to jump across?" asked James, looking wide-eyed and scared.

"Hell yeah," said Logan grinning from ear to ear.

Carlos ran back to the compartment, grabbed his helmet, and slapped it on his head.

"Carlos. The helmet is just for the show, isn't it?" asked Kendall.

"If I fall, this could save my life," replied Carlos with all seriousness.

Logan leaped across the carts with no problem, followed by the other boys who had a tad more trouble than Logan did.

Their eyes widened three times their normal size to the sight of what seemed like a never-ending buffet. To make matters better, they were alone.

While the boys began to stuff their face, back in compartment 21D, Ellie and Kaila were deciding on what to eat. Ellie dug through her snack bag, only to find that everything got squashed. Ellie hung her head as her stomach rumbled. Kaila took out her train guide and scanned it.

"Oh, look! There's a complimentary buffet in the cart next to us," said Kaila as she smiled.

"Do you wanna check it out? I bet there aren't any lines since it's like almost 11 o' clock at night," replied Ellie.

"Sure, why not?" Kaila replied cheerfully.

"OMGOMGOMGOMG. We have to jump across this? While it's moving?" asked Ellie practically yelling due to the sound of the wind and the train itself.

"We'll jump on three," started Kaila, "one…two…THREE!"

"AHHHHH!" yelled both of the girls with their eyes shut.

The girls landed on the other side safely. As Ellie got up to brush herself off, she noticed a crosswalk that the girls could've walked across all along.

"Unbelievable," mumbled Ellie as she followed Kaila into the cart. Before Ellie turned her head to the front, she ran into Kaila as if she had run into a brick wall.

"Kaila, what are you doi—OH MY BIG TIME RUSH," stuttered Ellie.
