Nickle: Here's chapter four, I hope you guys like it
Jen: Here's chapter four if we don't have to send you to the hospital, you mean. Right, Miss Klutz?
Nickle: Dude, I'm not that clutzy, I went iceskating the other day and didn't fall. Not once.
Jen: Ok, explain the stitches in your knee, then.
Nickle: I told you, Jeremy kicked me with his iceskate!
Jen: Suuuuurrrree, Anyway here's the story. We don't own Big Time Rush
"It's four, where are they?" Katie asked, looking at her watch again.
"They'll be here. I trust them." Kendall retorted, resuming his pacing.
"Oh my god!" Katie gasped, falling out of the tree.
"Katie! Are you okay!" Kendall panicked, running to her.
"I'm only a year younger than you!" She exclaimed, jumping up and dancing.
"That's what that was about? Really?" He scoffed.
Smiling, she climbed back up into the tree and they watched for James and Logan. About fifteen minutes later Katie spotted them and jumped down from the tree as Kendall hid.
"Okay, what's wrong, Katie?" Logan asked, thinking the serious situation should be taken care of first.
Obviously James thought the opposite, because he interrupted him asking, "Where's Kendall?"
Kendall took this as his cue and walked behind them and put a hand on each of their shoulders. Then, leaning by their ears as they tensed up, he whispered, "Right here."
They each yelped and jumped away from him, nearly knocking over Katie who was too busy laughing to care. "Jeez, Kendall, don't be so dramatic." Katie smirked. "That's James' job."
"Hey!" James glared, crossing his arms.
"Oh my god...you weren't kidding." Logan choked out.
"Why do you need out help?" James asked, completely ignoring Logan.
"You guys...should've...waited...for...me..." Gustavo panted, leaning against a tree to catch his breath.
"Gustavo!" Kendall gasped. "I never thought I'd be happy to see you."
"Well I'm not happy to see you. What the heck did you dogs do this time!" He bellowed, scowling behind his sunglasses.
"We need Carlos, too." Katie said with a worried expression when she realized he wasn't there.
"I don't think that's going to happen, Katie-cat." Kendall sighed.
"Why?" Both Katie and Gustavo asked.
"Because." A voice behind Logan and James said. "He made bad choices, didn't think, and basically messed up." James and Logan turned to see Carlos walking up, and gasped. He gave them a look that said, 'please forgive me' as he said, "messed up enough that I didn't trust my best friends. But I should have."
"Okay." Kendall stated, walking to the middle next to Katie. "Now we can explain."
"First explain to me why they don't remember Big Time Rush." Gustavo glowered.
"That's what we're getting at." Katie glared back.
Kendall smiled at her before explaining everything, from Big Time Rush, to Mr. Bitters, to the time machine. Katie climbed back up the tree, letting Kendall do the convincing.
"We...we really were in a band! Sweet!" James exclaimed, dancing in place.
"You never explained why Katie made the time machine, or how everything was messed up." Logan said quietly.
"Oh, uh, just for, you know, fun?" Her uncertainty made it sound like a question and Logan was far from convinced.
"You wouldn't make a time machine just for fun. There had to be something in the past that you wanted to change." He argued, his logic side taking over.
Kendall sighed and walked over to him. "Logan...remember how I was killed in that hit and run?"
"Yeah...?" He stared at Kendall with fear in his eyes.
"The person who killed me had...tried to kill your mom. So Katie made the time machine to save her. James and I pushed her out of the way and he must've seen me because he wanted revenge and went after me." He explained, wishing he didn't have to tell Logan the inevitable: They were going to have to kill his mom.
"So...wait...to fix this, we have to let my mom die?" He gasped.
I guess I didn't have to tell him, he told himself. "Logie, we messed with time and we have to fix it."
"You won't be able to fix it!" The strange man Kendall had seen in the white place shrieked. He ran to Kendall who jumped up and dodged him.
"Who the heck is that!" Everyone but Kendall yelled.
Kendall was pinned under him and he leaned down to get into the blonde boy's face. "You can't fix this. And you don't have long, either." He swiped at Kendall and disappeared.
Kendall let out a cry of pain and his friends rushed to him, while Gustavo stayed back and continually pinched his forearm.
"What just happened?" James asked.
"He's trying to capture me because I'm a ghost." He explained in a breathless, pained voice.
"What did he mean 'you don't have long'?" Carlos asked. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine...I think. Whatever he did weakened me...and I have a bad feeling that I'm not going to be here to see this plan work out."
"So what are we going to do?" Gustavo asked, trudging over. "I swear, if you guys don't fix this and I'm stuck running that ridiculous scooter store-"
"We'll fix it. Logan, Katie and Gustavo, you guys rebuild the time machine, James Carlos and I will make a plan." Kendall stated.
Nicholas, the man that Kendall had seen, watched in disgust. Then an idea came to him. Adam, the man who killed Kendall, might just get out of jail today...
"So you're serious? They all did it?" Adam asked, fingering his gun.
"Yes, and Kendall came back as a ghost and told them it was you, so you'll be sentenced to spend the rest of your life in jail." Nicholas explained.
"Where can I find them?" He opened his drawer and pulled out a larger gun as an evil grin came onto Nicholas's face.
"I'll show you."
"Okay, so the first time we saved Mrs. Mitchell we were standing by the alley, so I think this time we should stand farther back in the alley and stop us. We'll have to literally hit the ground running, though." Kendall said.
"Okay, so when we get there we'll run and stop ourselves, let his mom...yeah, and then everything will be better? Are you sure?" Carlos asked, glancing at Logan who hadn't talked since he learned his mom's fate.
"I hope so." He murmured.
Suddenly a gunshot echoed around them and Katie screamed, diving to the ground, while James and Carlos guarded her.
Logan stood slowly and looked around, "It came from...that direction." He whispered, pointing west of where he was standing.
"I'll go check it out, because I can't get hurt. Hide the time-machine, and take Katie to our hide out." Kendall ordered.
"Good luck, soldier." Carlos smirked, saluting him.
Kendall saluted back and then ran towards the gunshot.
"Come on, Katie." Logan said softly, helping her to her feet.
"It's hidden." James stated, stepping out from behind a bush.
"Okay, let's go." Carlos said, as the five of them ran towards the abandoned warehouse they considered their hideout.
"Just like old times." Logan laughed as James stopped to fix his hair and Carlos tripped.
"Wait...up!" Gustavo gasped, stumbling towards them.
"Do you think Kendall's plan will work?" Katie asked, looking up at Logan.
"It's Kendall, he's too stubborn for a plan not to work." He replied, not giving a straight answer.
"And on top of that," James said walking to them. "We're Big Time Rush, we're a band."
"Like Kendall said, if we stick together we can do anything." Carlos added.
"But what if this is all fake!" Logan's skeptical side took over and he realized it couldn't be real. "What if we're all just being sucked into some game?"
"Logan, a person we have never met knows everything about us, and remembers the same things Katie does, and Kendall's back." James glared. "And if it is just a game we can get back to our normal lives as if nothing ever happened."
"You better be right."
Nickle: Like it yet? Should I change anything? Can I come out of hiding? lol, anywho, please review and whatnot.
Jen: Kendall's not alive yet, Nikki, you said he wouldn't be a ghost long-ARE YOU GOING TO COMPLETELY GET RID OF HIM?
Nickle: It's not Nikki and would you please stop giving away stuff, or at least let me erase what you type when you do?
Jen: Nope.
