Home To The Future Famous, And Now Us!

(Alice's POV)
"I need to ice my body." Riley moaned.
"I thought Coach Wray was a jerk." Avery complained.

"I've never been so sore in my life." Ava whined. After minutes of silence, the girls looked around for the fourth complaint.

"Alice?" Riley questioned, "This is where you start complaining about the world is a terrible place and that you never want to see Gustavo's face again."

"Actually, I feel amazing! Unlike you guys, I do yoga, which-"
"Stretches the mind and body." A voice behind me finished. I turned to see none other than the Logan Mitchell from BIG TIME RUSH.

"Hi. I'm Logan." He said sticking his hand out.
"Alice Carson. These are my friends-"
"We can introduce ourselves." Riley jumped in. "Riley Jameson."
Avery smiled and waved form where she was sitting. "Avery Sanders." Ava was sitting there like a doll.

Alice went behind Ava and poked her in the ribs.
"Eep! Uh... Hi... I'm Ava Carter."

"So you girls are the 'new' dogs Kelly's been talking about, eh?" It doesn't take the girls long to realize that behind the Logan the other guys are behind a bush.

"You know... If your friends want to meet us so badly, hiding behind a bush with a poorly made tree hat, they should just walk over here." Alice said smugly.

"I worked hard on these!" A blond haired guy with... bushy, bushy eyebrows said, popping up from behind a bush.
"No you didn't!" A small brunette, around ten shouted from across the pool deck.
"Not helping, Katie!" He shouted back to her.

"Dude... Are those caterpillars on your face?" Alice asked staring at them. He blushed a little and turned pulling two boys up by their collars.

"Meet Carlos and James."

"WATCH THE HAIR!" James shouted. Riley giggled, thinking, 'Oh god, he's just like me...great. Two completely...eh, how do I say this...I talk to my reflection. People must think I'm nuts...but maybe I'm not the only one...'

"Blah!" Kendall shouted in his face, storming away.

"Look we didn't mean to insult him or anything, it was an honest question!" Alice whined, feeling bad she'd upset the blond.

"Oh don't worry, Kendall's just not used to people asking him if he has caterpillars on his face," Logan explained. They all laughed, just as a young boy with red hair came by them.

"Oh, hey, it's that kid from the juice commercials," Ava pointed out.

"Hey Tyler. Need to hide again?" The boy nodded, sneaking behind the bush where James and Carlos were. A few seconds later a woman calling for the red-haired boy appeared, calling his name.

"He went that way!" the entire group called, pointing somewhere towards the left. Once the woman had left, the boy came out of hiding.

"Name's Tyler. I'm an actor, but I really just want to be a normal kid, instead my mom makes me go to all this auditions...you know what that's like.."

Ava, Avery, Alice and Riley exchanged looks, "Actually we don't."

We stood there awkwardly until a girl with curly brown hair walked up. "Logie-Bear!" She shouted. She hugged him, attacked him with kisses and then turned to us.

"Girlfriend?" Avery asked Logan.

"No."

Camille slapped Riley and shouted at her, "YOU! How dare you steal my LOGAN FROM ME!"

"What?"

"And you," She rounded on Alice, "You kissed my brother?" She slapped her.
"Camille, they're new. Let's not scare them away now," Logan said gently.

"Oh, you're the new ones every one's been talking about. Gustavo's new guinea pigs..."

Avery turned to Alice, "I thought we were monkey dogs?"

"That would be us." James and Carlos volunteered to Logan's head drop.

"Well, anyways, welcome to the Palm Woods, home of the future famous." and then Camille hugged both Alice and Riley, then Avery and Ava.

Camille walked away and Logan looked at us, "Sorry about her-"

"Logan? You've got lipstick... Everywhere." Ava pointed out.

James whipped out a mirror from his back pocket.

"A mirror? What else do you keep in your back pocket?" Avery asked. To her surprise both James and Riley answered at the same time, "Lucky comb and...head shots!" both Riley and James pulled pictures out, each describing what the look was supposed to be.

"One sexy cowgirl," Riley said, showing one photo, "One greasy mechanic," as it was James' turn. "One Miss America." Riley said, holding up a photo of her with a Miss America sash. "And one Mister Universe."

Alice looked confused. "I thought it was Miss Universe."
"Miss Universe is rigged!" Avery shouted. Everyone looked at her. "What? All the winners are from Earth...Duh!"
"Sweetie? You need a nap." Ava said, placing a hand on her back.

"I don't need a nap! I'm fine, I could stay up forever...see, I'll be fine. Oh wait, don't we have to meet Griffin in an hour?" she added. Instantly the boys started whimpering.
"Wow. He can't be that bad." Alice said disbelievingly.

"You haven't met Griffin yet though! He's the devil in warm pants!"

"Devil in warm pants?" Alice asked raising a disbelieving eyebrow.

"You don't want to know." Riley looked at Ava, and they in turn looked at Avery. It looked like the poor girl was falling asleep on her feet. The plane ride out had been alright, they'd just waited in the airport since five that morning. They'd been up a long time the way it was, excitement keeping them from sleep.

"QUICK! COFFEE!" Riley started running off, on the search for a Starbucks.

"Guys? There is a coffee machine, right there."

"Is it Starbucks?"
"No?"
"Then it won't wake her up."

"Why not throw her in the pool?" Carlos asked.
"Because! Unlike you, I don't want to die a horrible and painful death!" Ava shouted at him.

"Easy. No body's going to die. We just have to find a Starbucks for her, and then we can give you some pointers on how to stay on Griffin's good side." Kendall said.

"Kendall?" Logan asked. "The nearest Starbucks is three miles away. The girls have to meet Griffin in thirty minutes."

"Then why are we standing here?"

As fast as the girls can, they race to the nearest Starbucks with Kendall yelling advice to them. It's a few moments before Logan realizes it's actually closer to Gustavo's office then he thought. Riley, being she used to work at her local Starbucks in Greendale, orders coffee for the entire group, having learned the Starbucks lingo at an early age.

"C'mon...wake up...wake up!" the three girls are crowded around Avery, who, after smelling the coffee, begins to drink it, and wakes right back up to her usual perky crazy self.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We are the crowd, we're c-comin' out
Got my flash on, it's true Need that picture of you
It's so magical, we'd be so fantastical..."

Alice leads the pack as they sing the song they've chosen, and it seems to fit the moment perfectly. After years of growing up on Soccer games, the girls had always dreamed of chasing down the players, and taking pictures. So the four had wrote a song, appropriately titled, "Paparazzi."

"Leather and jeans, garage glamorous Not sure what it means
Put this photo of us it doesn't have a price Ready for those flashing lights..."

"Cause you know that baby, I..." Avery voice hits the pre-chorus line spot on the way they've rehearsed. It sounds amazing, and when the chorus comes, all four girls sing their hearts out, knowing that this moment could either make or break them.

"I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me Papa, paparazzi
Baby, there's no other superstar, you know that I'll be Your papa, paparazzi
Promise I'll be kind But I won't stop until that boy is mine
Baby, you'll be famous, chase you down until you love me
Papa, paparazzi..."

"I'll be your girl backstage at your show Velvet ropes and guitars
Yeah, cause you're my rockstar in between sets Eyeliner and cigarettes

Shadow is burnt, yellow dance and we turn
My lashes are dry, purple teardrops I cry
It don't have a price, loving you is cherry pie..."

Riley can't help herself from finding the rhythm on the song and moving with it, her left foot seems to have a mind of its own, as it's tapping in time with the beat as she sings.

"Cause you know that baby, I..." Avery's two for two on the song that could launch them into a whole new world. All of the girls realize it, of course, and are trying their best to impress.

" I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me Papa, paparazzi
Baby, there's no other superstar, you know that I'll be Your papa, paparazzi!"

Griffin was silent and it was scaring them. Gustavo and Kelly were shaking.

"I think they're better than your boys, Gustavo. Now...Who's up for more warm pants?"

*AN: Yes I know Paparazzi is originally by Lady Gaga. But it had to flow with the story, so we changed it. But we know who it's originally by! We don't own it! There. That should take care of any copyright stuff."
