Ok, all of you guys are seriously curious to what James wants to do. Well, this is day one's adventure. Let me remind you that if you don't like this one (which I personally wasn't too fond of), there will be lots more in the next few chapters.

Oh, and a happy 22nd birthday to Carlos Pena!

Disclaimer: Sorry, I don't own that band. What's it called again? Oh right, BIG TIME RUSH!


After their conversation, James was so exhausted, he fell asleep. Kendall, Carlos, and Logan pulled his blankets over him and watched him for a second before they quietly left. Almost as soon as they closed the door, Kendall heard his phone go off.

"We're halfway there, we're looking good now. Nothing's gonna get in the way. We're halfway there and looking back now, I never thought that I'd ever say we're halfway there." Hearing James sing those words brought a pain to Kendall's chest because there is something that's getting in the way, but he ignored it and answered the call. "Hello?"

"DOGS!" Kendall heard Gustavo yell. "GET TO THE STUDIO!"

"Gustavo, we can't do that…" Kendall started.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I'VE GIVEN YOU FOUR DAYS OFF- FOUR DAYS! - AND YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU CAN'T COME?"

"Can I talk to Kelly, please?" Kendall said, trying not sound too annoyed. He heard Gustavo grumble and then calling for Kelly.

"Why can't you come in?" Kelly sweetly said.

Kendall took a deep breath. "You know how James hasn't been feeling well?"

"Yes."

"Well, we took him to the doctor… and…"

"Kendall, what's wrong?"

"James has leukemia." Kendall's voice cracked at the end and fought off the tears.

Kendall heard Kelly breathe in fast and heard her calling for Gustavo. "Kendall? Are you being serious? Because this is not a joking matter."

"I'm not joking, Kelly. His first chemo session is in a week and we want to spend this week with him and doing everything he wants to…"

"I understand, Kendall. Take this week off. And don't worry about the hospital bills, we'll take care of those."

"Thanks, Kelly," Kendall said and he hung up the phone.


"Guys, I really don't think this is a good idea," James said the next day when Kendall, Carlos, and Logan decided to take James to do one of the things he's always wanted to do.

"Nonsense, you said you've always wanted to do this," Kendall said as he signed the papers and handed them to Carlos to sign.

"This was just some stupid dream I had when I was nine, it doesn't matter," James argued.

"Are you scared, Jamie?"

"No, I just think this is a bad idea."

"But is it or is it not something you've always wanted to do?"

"Well, it is, but-"

"Then we're doing it. James, you have one week before you start chemo, and as much as much as you or I don't want to admit it, you won't be able to do much after you start. You're going to get very, very weak. So, this may be your last chance."

Tears started to form in James' eyes, but he refused to cry, he's done enough of that already. "Ok, I'll do it."

Kendall smiled and Logan handed the papers for James to sign. He hesitated at first, but then went ahead and signed his name. They started walking to the double doors to start, but James pulled Logan back for a second. "Um, I forgot to thank you for helping me that night in the bathroom. So, thank you."

Logan sighed. "I should have known what it was. You had some of the most obvious symptoms and I did nothing about it. I am so sorry I was so... so stupid."

"Logan, even if you noticed, it wouldn't have changed anything. I still would have cancer. So, don't blame yourself, please don't.

Logan nodded (even though he still felt guilty) and hugged him and James hugged back. Then they followed the others to the double doors.


"Ok, so basically, I'll be giving you a flight suit and I'll bring you guys up," they guy's instructor, Bryan said. "Some people consider this to be dangerous and don't do it, but if listen to me and follow all the necessary safety precautions, it's perfectly safe.

"Once we get up, you'll each get a turn. You'll basically jump into a large tube which will be blowing so much air it'll keep you up. This will make it feel exactly like skydiving." Bryan continued.

That's right. Every since James was nine-years-old, he had always wanted to go skydiving. Since Kendall, Carlos, and Logan couldn't exactly take James and actually go skydiving, this was the next best thing. They had seen the signs all over L.A. for this sort of thing and always said they would go, but they never did. So, they decided to go today.

"Alright, I'll start the video which will go further in explaining everything. I'll go get the flight suits and by the time I get back, the video should be just about finished," Bryan said as he turned on the TV. Once the opening credits started, he turned and went through a door that said Employees Only.

The four boys turned their attention to the video. "Your instructor will lead you to the opening of the tube which is located at the top. He or she will then tell you when you are allowed to jump. You will be able to 'fall' for approximately fifteen minutes before the air will die down and eventually stopped when you reach the ground. Another employee will be there to assit you afterwords."

The video went on for another ten minutes, explaining rules and safety precautions. Once it was over, Bryan returned and handed each of the boys a flight suit. After they changed, Bryan led them through another set of double doors and up a very long stairway. James was first, followed by Carlos, Kendall, and finally a reluctant Logan. Bryan stood aside and held up his arm, signaling one of the boys to jump. James flashed a smile to the other guys, took a deep breath, and jumped.


I know, I know, corny. But if you had the chance, wouldn't you do this? I know I would...

Ah, darn, you guys. I start school tomorrow, so let me warn you that updates may not come as often as they have been over the summer. But I've written ahead big time, so that shouldn't be happening for a little while, it just depends on how busy I am. Just to let you know I haven't forgotten about you...
