Three hours and a bunch of toilet unclogging later, the entire group managed to meet up in the Palm Woods Park. They filled Jo in on what they were doing, and even though the girl thought the game was extremely stupid and dangerous, she decided she wanted in on it anyways.

Carlos had chosen his evil successor already: Logan. Logan was excited; he immediately rushed off so he could prepare his plan, telling the rest of the gang to go to the pool in an hour and witness "The greatest evil you've ever seen!"

Even though Carlos was still banned from the pool, it didn't take him too long to sneak in due to the fact that Bitters was on one of his infamous five hour lunch breaks.

The group of teenagers looked around the open pool area and saw…nothing. Nothing out of the ordinary, that is.

"So…what exactly are we supposed to be looking for, here?" James asked. Everything looked to be about normal.

"It might be a trap." Kendall said, "Maybe…maybe the chairs are rigged so you get stuck on them when you sit down!"

"…How is being stuck to chairs evil?" Jo asked, "That sounds more like a 'prank' than an 'evil plan' to me."

"Well, you can't underestimate Logan's smartness." Kendall replied. He felt Jo didn't quite understand what he was getting at, so he explained, "Look…Logan is definitely a genius, right? Like...once built a fully functioning robot just so he could replace Camille."

"WHAT?" Camille interjected, "When did he do that!?"

"When you went on that double date with Jett. Anyways, what I'm saying is that the pool area might look untouched and normal to us, but Logan's IQ is over 140! Who knows what booby-traps he could've laid in an hour!" Kendall said. "Just picture this…"

It was a bright and sunny day at the Oak Forest apartments. It was on perfect days like these where singer/songwriter/musician Kevin Kite would spend all day relaxing by the Oak Forest poolside. The pool was a social hub; actors, singers, and models all joined together at the pool to blow off some steam and have fun with their friends. Kevin was looking forward to that.

When he got to the pool though, he saw the strangest thing. The normally populated area was empty! There wasn't a kid in sight. Kevin was confused as to where they could be, but he decided not to dwell too much on it-he came here to relax, not socialize, anyways.

Kevin walked over to the nearest chair and sat on it. That was when he realized something was wrong. His chair started shaking uncontrollably; the arm rests grew over his own arms and locked them into place. He tried kicking with his feet, but the metal chair legs had already twisted over his own, preventing his escape. Overhead, he heard a distinct cackle. Kevin could recognize that laughter anywhere. It came from the Oak Forest apartment's resident genius—

-DOCTOR HUGGLES! Doctor Huggles loved giving people hugs. Big hugs, small hugs, side hugs, you name it, he gives it! He's been sad lately though 'cuz people haven't been giving him that many hugs! People are like, "Eww, Doctor Huggles stop, you have cooties." And that just isn't true because only girls get cooties so—

"Carlos! You interrupted my story!" Kendall said, "I was just getting to the good part!"

"I still don't understand this whole 'Logan booby-trapped the chairs!' idea you have." Jo said.

Kendall replied, "Well, you would've understood my reasoning if Carlos didn't interrupt me like that!" He looked at his friend, "Doctor Huggles? Seriously?"

"Hey, Logan loves giving hugs! I think." Carlos said. He looked at Camille, "Does Logan like giving hugs?"

Camille, who had somehow acquired a seat from the movie theater, sat on it while munching on some popcorn. "I'm not sure. But keep telling your story, I wanna hear the rest!"

James pulled up another movie theater chair, and sat in it. Before anyone could question either of them to where they got those seats from, James pulled out a pair of 3-D glasses. "Camille, don't forget to wear this!"

"Thanks!"

The two teens put on their glasses, and immediately gasped, ohh-ing and aww-ing at the amazing 3-D effects. Kendall and Jo were both dumbstruck to what was going on, which gave Carlos the perfect chance to continue telling his story.

Kevin Kite was like, "Doctor Huggles! This is like, so totally uncool!" But Doctor Huggles was like, "No, you're so totally uncool!" and so Kevin said "? But I was voted 'Gnarliest Teenager Ever'! I must be cool!"

But then Doctor Huggles said, "No way José! You're not cool!" And that made Kevin confused, so he said "Ummmm Doctor Huggles, my name isn't José?"

Doctor Huggles gasped, "Wait…if you're not José, then where is he?"

Then, a storm of lightning happened. Out of the clouds flew 10, maybe even 15 bats! They all came together and turned into José! The roughest-toughest cowboy of the wild west!

"Yippee Kay Yay" José said-

"What kind of story is that?" Kendall interrupted, "You made Kevin sound like a cross between a valley girl and a surfer dude!"

"Yeah, well, José's a cowboy." Carlos said, then jumped right back into his tale.

"José! Like, totally tubular entrance dude. Rock on." Kevin said, "But you gotta help me out bro, Doctor Huggles is totally wigging out again. He trapped me to this chair, dude. Totes unreal."

José then was like, "Well, ain't that some sticky situation ya got yerselves in right thar." He put on his ten-gallon hat, and looked at Doctor Huggles. "Now let me tell ya straight right here partner, I came from the south and back down there we don't tie our friends up when bored. Naww, we just lay around in the hot sun all day while the missus churns the butter—

"Hey, I'm from the south, and we don't do any of that stuff!" Jo said, lightly elbowing Kendall to get his attention. "Tell Carlos that I've never churned butter before."

"Out of all the things wrong in that story, you pick 'Churning Butter' as the thing to get mad about?" Kendall said, "Carlos turned Kevin into a surfer dude!"

"And a valley girl!" Carlos said, "Don't forget that."

Kendall shook his head, "I was just trying to tell a story on why we shouldn't underestimate Logan's smartness. It's getting late, we should just go look for whatever 'evil plan' Logan made so I can get my turn at being the villain."

"Or," James started to say, standing up from his movie chair, "You guys can all sit back and listen to the glorious story of Jackson Anthony Michelangelo Elmer Silver!"

"I'd rather not—" Kendall began to protest, but was cut off when James started telling his story:

Jackson Anthony Michelangelo Elmer Silver, having heard everything, stepped out from the shadows. The sunlight shimmered sensationally on his sun-kissed muscles, putting a sparkle in his perfect hazel chocolate eyes. His windswept hair was styled perfectly, as always, for Jackson Anthony Michelangelo Elmer Silver was the perfect human being.

"Friends!" Jackson Anthony Michelangelo Elmer Silver bellowed out in his rich voice, "Let us not fight! Remember the good times we have had together! Remember how we met, how I was always and shall always be the handsomest of us all? Why don't we stop our arguments, join hands, and sing great song praises off of our latest album?"

Everyone immediately agreed. After all, Jackson Anthony Michelangelo Elmer Silver isn't only the handsomest man alive, he's also the wisest, smartest, kindest, loyalist, most amazingest human being in the universe. To be friends with Jackson Anthony Michelangelo Elmer Silver was such a dream come true for the others. Together, they sung smash hits off of their newest album. They sang fan favorites such as "Shine Bright Like A Jackson Anthony Michelangelo Elmer Silver", "Music Sounds Better With Jackson Anthony Michelangelo Elmer Silver", and the all-time favorite piece, "Jackson Anthony Michelangelo Elmer Silver Knows He's Beautiful."

-THEN SUDDENLY, A SPACESHIP ATTACKED! EVERYONE DIED, EVEN THE CHILDREN! ESPECIALLY THE CHILDREN! THE HORROR! THE HORROR—

"Carlos, what are you doing!?" James asked, "I was getting to the good part! Then you killed everyone!"

"I got bored." Carlos replied, "Can we just find Logan and ask him what his 'evil plan' was supposed to be so we can move on?"

"That's what I've been trying to say this whole time!" Kendall said, "Let's find Logan."

James refused the idea, "But I wasn't done with my story."

"It wasn't supposed to be your story, or Carlos's story…it was supposed to be my story. But you two ruined it." Kendall looked around the seemingly normal pool area. There wasn't anything evil in sight. "Where would Logan be?" He wondered aloud.

Camille answered, pointing from her chair. "He's in the third cabana from the left."

The teenagers all looked at her in confusion. She shrugged, taking out her phone. "Yeah, I installed a tracking app on his phone. It's fun; you'd never guess where he goes Tuesday nights…"

On that note, the gang all walked over to said cabana. Lo and behold, Logan really was housed inside, just like what Camille said.

He looked at them, smiling. "Hey guys! Didja like my evil plan?"

James answered, "Uh, no, because we didn't see any 'evilness' around the pool."

Logan furrowed his eyebrows, "Really? But…" He got up and walked outside. He looked around for a few moments, then turned back towards his friends. "…It looks like my plan is still in motion. You guys haven't figured it out yet?"

"Nope." Carlos pouted, "Just tell us what you did already!"

"Well…okay." Logan said. He walked back into the cabana for a few moments before reappearing with a bunch of towels. "Here, take one." He said.

The five other teens each took one, but weren't sure what to make of it. "It's…just a towel." James finally said. It was an ordinary poolside towel, given for free to the Palm Woods residents.

Logan explained his motives, "That's not actually a plain old towel!" He said excitedly, "This towel's fabric has a high grams-per-square-meter count, making it more suitable as a bath towel rather than a pool towel. And these towels haven't touched fabric softener at all, making them scratchy and annoying when used to dry oneself off-hey! Where are you guys going?"

The others had dropped the towels Logan had given them, and begun to walk off. Logan hastily began to pick up after them. "It's against the rules to leave towels on the floor!" Logan called after them, but was ignored.

Logan threw the dropped towels back into the cabana and ran to catch up to his friends. "Leaving your towels on the floor like that is a major pool hazard." He said, "That wasn't very nice."

"Well, you weren't being very evil." James replied. They walked into the lobby, parking themselves on some empty couches. "Jackson Anthony Michelangelo Elmer Silver would've been so disappointed in this outcome."

"Who's that?"

"Don't worry about it." Camille said, "Just tell us who's going next!"

"But…you guys didn't foil my evil plan…"

Kendall smirked, "Yeah that was SOME evil plan…" He said sarcastically. "I told them to not underestimate your genius…"

Logan didn't catch the sarcasm. "Thank you! I worked really hard on it and I'm glad someone appreciated it."

"Just…tell us who the next villain is." Kendall said.

Jo chimed in, "Remember that I'm playing this round!"

"Me too!" Camille said.

Logan sat back, thinking about who should go next.

Meanwhile, back at the pool, a teenaged boy was sobbing, holding a towel in his hands. "This is…way too fluffy." He cried, "Perfect for bath time, but horrible for pool time. Its grams-per-square-meter count is too high. And worst of all, it's scratchy! SCRATCHY!" He violently threw the towel behind him, not wanting to look at it and its scratchy fabric anymore.

The towel landed on the floor, right in front of a girl carrying a platter of three smoothies. She stepped on the scratchy fabric and slid, falling into the pool. The smoothies flew into the air, each one hitting a different Palm Woods resident.

The first smoothie-covered resident screamed, knocking various people into the pool and onto the floor as she looked for a towel. When she found one, she was relieved until she realized something—the towel was scratchy.

The second smoothie'd resident lost his footing and fell into the pool, thus gunking up the waters and eventually causing the pool to be closed for the next three days for cleaning.

The third resident that got hit fell backwards, knocking into a boy carrying a platter of lemonades.

The cycle continued as more and more Palm Woods residents knocked into each other, spilled their drinks, and fell victim to the scratchy bath towels. The residents all wondered about who could've been evil enough to do something as awful as this to them.

Xx
