A/N: Yes, that's right, I'm already posting a second one. I'm just that good. Well, not really. I've had this basically planned out for a while now after seeing the rerun; I just haven't taken the time to actually type it. So here's the 2nd installment of the collection.
*Insert disclaimer*
You're My Type
James knew exactly who he wanted to ask to go to the dance with him. The only problem was he knew they were planning on asking someone else.
"So, what's your game plan, mon ami?" James asked, knowing Logan's response even before he could attempt to answer.
"Ah, you know I was thinking about possibly asking um…"
"Camille! Yea, she's cool. And not my type." With this James paused and stared at Logan. At least if he wasn't going to be brave enough to ask, he could hint at his desires. But Logan was too busy watching Camille. "I approve. Now go." Well that was a complete fail.
But Logan was in full on panic mode. He reminded James how he's never actually asked a girl out, only going on double dates with James. If only they weren't double dates, James lamented to himself. I guess I'll just have to show him.
"Hey," James said as he leaned over to the nearest girl, "would you go to the dance with me?" The whole time while he was asking, James tried not to look at the girl. It was bad enough he couldn't ask Logan, now he was asking some random girl to go? And of course she agreed.
"Now, go!" James really was not in the mood to be doing this, having to literally push Logan away from him while doing the same emotionally. He hoped it wasn't too obvious, but he had a feeling that, if Logan looked at him, all the secrets would come pouring out.
So Logan stumbled over to Camille, still unsure of what was happening. "I was wondering… Me and James…" unable to form a complete sentence, Logan looked back at James for help.
He just said 'me and James.' Why do I have to deal with this… so James did the only thing he could think of every time he looked at Logan; he smiled and encouraged the smaller boy. Logan always did need a bit of assurance, even if he did know how smart he really was.
But still Logan's attempt at asking out Camille failed. Not that James was too upset, smiling at Logan as he wrapped a hand James' arm. But Logan was still determined to ask Camille out.
James' next idea, aside from hiding in bushes and getting overly close to Logan, was a slightly more direct approach. And this new idea could possibly solve both his and Logan's date issue. All he had to do was use cure cards, and he could ask Logan directly without things getting too awkward. I should have tried this first, I'm such a genius; James never was one for modesty.
"Will you, go to, the dance, with me?" How much more obvious could he get before Logan caught on? Of course, he hadn't planned on another random girl walking by, and didn't expect her to, for some stupid reason, think James would want to ask her. What is with these girls? Why do they think I would ask THEM to the dance? James also never was one for sympathy. "Now, let's do this!"
With that, Logan stood up, still unaware of James' actual motivation. When James realized that his crush was still unnoticed, he was forced to push Logan away again. This time, he was sure the anger and hurt was splashed across his face.
And then it was time. Logan looked up, and there was James, holding a giant poster asking him to go to the dance. But Logan stuck to the plan and read the card to Camille. At first, James thought, since Logan was looking at him, they would finally be together. The next thing he knew, another girl was agreeing to go to the dance with him.
WHY DOES NO ONE GET IT? I'm not asking any of you out, I just want Logan! Luckily, he was still too uncoordinated for words, but he made a face of disgust as the girl walked away. This was just not his day.
For his next attempt, James decided to be slightly less direct with Logan and more defensive instead. Everyone knows that Logan's not the best dancer of the four, but that's only because he's not exactly coordinated. So when it comes to hurling objects through the air, Logan is not someone you want aiming.
So James created a "Will you go to the dance with me" flying disk, which he of course gave to Logan. Not only was it another way to asked Logan, but if that failed, he knew Logan wouldn't even come close to getting it to Camille. That's where he underestimated Logan.
Logan's throw got close to Camille alright. It hit her square in the stomach, sending her into the pool. James knew it was not the best time, but he was so tempted to just fall over laughing at the poor girl. So instead he fixed his hair in hopes that Logan wouldn't notice.
Ok, that plan was just mean, so how about a gentler one? Give Logan some flowers, and whisper in his ear that I want to go to the dance with him. James thought he had finally come up the perfect plan.
"Testing, tesing, will you go to the dance with me?" James looked right at Logan, expecting an answer from him. But instead, yet another unknown girl acted like James wanted to go out with her. They are RUINING all my good plans!
And then there were the bees. James knew bees loved flowers, who doesn't know that? But he hadn't planned on them loving the plastic flowers he decorated his bush helmet with. But in the end, James was appreciative of them; the bees foiled another of Logan's shots at asking Camille.
And James didn't even feel guilty this time.
So when James had run out of ideas and Logan finally decided that James might not be the best person to ask for tips on girls, they both went in search of Kendall. Kendall knew that Logan had a thing for Camille, everyone did. But he also knew James had a thing for Logan. Kendall is the leader after all, he can tell when something's not right.
Kendall knew immediately when he asked about dates that this was one of those times with things were definitely not right. He same James look at Logan, then back to Kendall as if to say 'I've tried, he really doesn't get it,' and he saw Logan's usual I-don't-get-why-this-doesn't-work that came around when logic failed him.
So it became Kendall's job to try to sort things out. He knew James just wanted to spend time with Logan, and he knew Logan wanted to give Camille the proper flourish she wanted, so he came up with a plan to solve both problems, although in a slightly devious way.
James would have never agreed to this if it hadn't been Logan asking. Put this face inside of a horse's head? Yea… not going to happen. But it's for Logan… So James agreed to be Logan's "steed" for the night. If only Logan hadn't hit him for emphasis.
And then James found out that Gustavo wanted them to sing Stuck for the students. What song could be better to sing after all of this? James was constantly tripping over words, never able to completely admit his feelings for Logan.
But there's always tomorrow.
So, really need some feedback on this one. I had to watch the episode on while writing this. I didn't want to alter the episode that much, 'cause to me this just seemed like what was really going on. I mean c'mon, James didn't remember asking those girls out? And the faces he made when they responded to him? He was so not interested in them…
But yea, reviews would be great. Be it about the prompt, the flow of the story, the grammar, whatever. I really need to edit my stuff, but I hate doing that. Much easier to just type it!
P.S. This episode was when it hit me. Kendall has dark blond hair. Katie has brown. And Mama Knight has a reddish color. How does that work? And it's the only clue I know of about the M.I.A. dad, who has been gone since when Katie was at least 3, probably a while before that even.
