When they got back to the Palmwoods and made their way to their apartment, they all screamed when they saw a sight that was about as terrifying as James's mom. Sadie's parents. They both stood there with their arms crossed and they did not look happy. Kendall's mom sat on the couch, looking like a punished child.
"Mom? Dad? What are you doing here?" Sadie asked after she and the guys stopped screaming. "And, how did you get here so fast?"
"Never mind that one." Her Dad said.
"We're here to stop you from joining Big Time Rush and taking you home before you make the worst mistake of your life." Her mom explained, gesturing to the huge rolling bag at her side. Sadie shook her head.
"What? No! Mom, I want to be in Big Time Rush!" Her mom shook her head back.
"Sadie, I watch the news. Don't you know what happens when you're the only girl in the middle of a boyband? Things happen." Her dad made the word shame in sign language at the boys, who gasped.
"Hey!" Then Kendall stepped up.
"Mrs. Wits, this is crazy. We would never do anything to hurt Sadie." Logan nodded.
"Yeah, she's one of our best friends! She's practically one of the guys!"
"Except, she's not a guy." James added quickly. Carlos just wrapped his arms around Sadie in a tight hug.
"We don't want to lose you, Sadie!" He shouted. Sadie patted his arm and smiled triumphantly at her mom.
"See? And I don't want to leave! I love being here in LA!" Her mom shook her head again.
"Sadie, if you stayed, where would you live? Your father and I don't want to stay."
"Too hot!" Her dad said, fanning himself with his hand.
"I'll stay here with the guys! I can share a room with-"
"YOu are not sharing a room with one of the guys!" Her mom shouted. Sadie sighed.
"Katie!" She and the guys yelled in unison.
"I can share a room with Kendall's little sister!" But Mrs. Wits still wasn't convinced.
"No, Sadie. YOu're going to come home. And become a lawyer!" Sadie's eyes widened.
"What!? That's the worst idea you've ever had!" Her dad looked upset.
"I'm a lawyer." He said quietly. Sadie gestured at him.
"Exactly! I'm not going to work with Dad! I'm going to stay here with my friends and become a singer!"
"NO!"
"Mom!" Kendall yelled at his mom. "Can't you talk to her?" Mrs. Knight shook her head.
"I'm sorry, guys, but this isn't really my decision. That, and they scare me!" Then Sadie thought of something that was sure to change their minds, and pulled out her contract, with her paycheck.
"This is sure to change your minds." SHe said. "And you guys are going to get fifty percent of it." Her parents' eyes widened at the amount she was going to earn, then gave her a look.
"Make it seventy five percent, and you have got a deal." Her dad said.
"And I want daily video chats." her mom told her. Sadie grinned and nodded.
"Done!" Then she shook hands with both her parents and turned to the guys. "I get to stay!" They all cheered loudly, all three parents covering their ears, but smiling at the teens.
Later that day, Sadie had convinced the guys and Katie to come with her for shopping for her half of the room, and the guys were bored stiff as Katie and Sadie were deciding whether or not to paint half the room a different colour or not, and if so what colour.
"We could do a white with black polka dots thing." Katie said.
"Nah, that's too basic." Sadie told her. THey looked at each other.
"White polka dots on black." They decided. The four guys gave each other a look, then went down by checkout to wait for the girls.
"Man, how did Sadie convince us to go shopping with her and Katie?" Kendall asked.
"I don't know." Logan said. "But her mom was right, she'd make an amazing lawyer!" Then Carlos came over with a cart.
"I've got an idea!" He said, his eyes gleaming. "Racing shopping carts!" The other guys whooped, then got three more carts and got ready in four different aisles.
"Ready!" Carlos called.
"Set!" James shouted.
"Go!" Kendall yelled, and the four guys pushed their carts and jumped in, the four of them zooming down the aisles.
"Geronimo!" Logan screamed. That was when he saw the two girls walking across one aisle and into his.
"Sadie! Katie! Look out!" He called, and both girls screamed as he came their way, getting hit by the cart and falling in with him. Logan managed to turn the cart too late and they went flying into Carlos' cart, then into James, then Kendall, and the six of them all screamed as they hit the registers, the carts got demolished. They all groaned.
"You guys can't be left alone for more than five minutes, can you?" Sadie asked them. Then the cashier came over.
"You are all going to pay for this damage! You could have killed me!" He shouted angrily. That was how the girls were lucky enough to afford the paint and the bunk bed they needed, but not anything else they wanted for the room. In the car, the guys tried to apologize.
"Sorry, girls." Kendall said.
"But we were so bored! You guys were taking forever!" Carlos told them pitifully."
"We were actually going to take you guys out for smoothies later with that money." Sadie told them. Their eyes widened.
"R-really? Why's that?" Logan asked.
"Because you guys weren't complaining." Katie told them matter of factly.
"Ooooohhhh." THey said in unison, and when they got back to the Palmwoods, Mrs. Knight stood there with her arms crossed.
"You six crashed four shopping carts into a register!?" She shouted at them with her arms crossed. Katie and Sadie pointed at the boys.
"Their faults!" Then they ran to their room, leaving the guys in trouble.
