Well, it has come to my attention that this is the last chapter.
Hard to believe isn't it?
Oh well, here it is!
Ended: 10/30/2012
…
The band stood in the Shake It Up! Chicago studio for the last time, not talking to anyone or looking at anything.
This last two weeks had passed in a blur for the guys. They barely got to see anyone, and now…
Now they'd be leaving.
But at least, they could say goodbye.
…
"And here, giving us their last performance on Shake It Up! Chicago, Big Time Rush." The boys stood in their respective places, not looking at anyone still as the music started up.
They had to make this performance count.
"Wait a minute before you tell me anything
How was your day?
'Cause I been missing
You by my side, yeah
Did I awake you out of your dream?
I'm sorry but I couldn't sleep
You calm me down
There's something about the sound of your voice
I, I, I, I never, never, never
As far away as it may seem no
Soon we'll be together
We'll pick up right where we left off
Paris, London, Tokyo
It's just one thing that I gotta do
Hello, tuck you in every night on the phone
Hello, tuck you in every night
And I can hardly take another goodbye
Baby, won't be long
You're the one that I'm waiting on
Hello, tuck you in every night on the phone, woah
Girl, I'll be thinking about you worldwide, worldwide, worldwide
Girl, I'll be thinking about you worldwide, worldwide, worldwide
Girl, I'll be thinking about you
Yes, I may meet a million pretty girls
That know my name
But don't you worry, no
'Cause you have my heart
It ain't easy to keep on moving city to city
Just get up and go
The show must go on
So I need you to be strong
I, I, I, I never, never, never
As far away as it may seem no
Soon we'll be together
We'll pick up right where we left off
Paris, London, Tokyo
It's just one thing that I gotta do
Hello, tuck you in every night on the phone
Hello, tuck you in every night
And I can hardly take another goodbye
Baby, won't be long
You're the one that I'm waiting on
Hello, tuck you in every night on the phone, yeah
Girl, I'll be thinking about you worldwide, worldwide, worldwide
Girl, I'll be thinking about you worldwide, worldwide, worldwide
Girl, I'll be thinking about you
Whoa, wherever the wind blows me
You're still the one and only girl on my mind
No, there ain't no one better
(Worldwide)
So always remember
(Worldwide)
Always remember, girl, you're mine
Paris, London, Tokyo
It's just one thing that I gotta do
Hello, tuck you in every night on the phone
Hello, tuck you in every night
And I can hardly take another goodbye
Baby, won't be long
You're the one that I'm waiting on
Hello, tuck you in every night on the phone, woah
Girl, I'll be thinking about you worldwide, worldwide, worldwide
Girl, I'll be thinking about you worldwide, worldwide, worldwide
Girl, I'll be thinking about you
Worldwide
Yes, I may meet a million pretty girls
That know my name
But don't you worry
'Cause you have my heart"
There was so much emotion in the guys' voices as they sang that all the girls in the studio and even some of the guys had broken down in tears. If you looked closely at the four young men, you could see they all had unshed tears in their eyes as well. Rocky couldn't help herself; she sprinted into Logan's arms, hugging him tightly as she continued to cry. Tinka soon followed, propelling herself into Kendall's arms. Ty and Deuce looked at each other before copying the two girls, running into Carlos and James' arms as well.
"And that was Big Time Rush. Thanks for watching Shake It Up Chicago," Gary said in a quiet voice, ending the show. The eight teens still stood on the small stage, all in their own embraces. Mama Knight stood off with Kelly, Katie, and Gustavo, who all, besides the large man, had tears in their eyes as they watched the group.
"Oh I can't take it anymore! Kelly, Gustavo, tell them the news!" Mama Knight suddenly cried out as she wiped up her tears. Kelly copied her and nodded at Gustavo, who grunted but walked towards the now curious teens.
"Dogs," he said to the four teens, who all glared him, hoping he wouldn't yell in front of the girls and guys. "Griffin has been made aware of the … situations that have arisen here in Chicago. And he suggested that, if it was okay with their parents, these four may come back to LA with us and become some of your personal back-up dancers. They will need one legal guardian with them though, since they will be living in an apartment in the Palm Woods."
All four guys broke out in a smile as they hugged the others ecstatically before Rocky spoke up.
"Ty, mom's never gonna let us go to LA, especially with a band."
"Oh wouldn't I?" their mom said, appearing as if from nowhere. "Kelly called and explained everything to me. Who do you think is going to watch you all out there? I'm not letting my babies go all by themselves!" she said, hugging her two kids before turning to Logan and James. "If you two hurt either of my children, I will make you regret it till the day you die. Understood?"
"Yes ma'am!" they both said with a mock salute. She glared at them for a minute before breaking out in a smile and hugging the two boys. Rocky laughed and turned to Cece, who stood off to the side, watching quietly.
"You okay with me going?" she asked as she headed towards the surprisingly silent redhead, who still had tears in her eyes.
"No, but this is a great chance for you. Just don't screw it up okay?"
"You know you'll somehow trick your mom into coming and visiting me right?"
"Of course. Don't go finding a new best friend before I can get there oaky?"
"Never." The two girls hugged, both close to crying even more now. While they were hugging, Tinka made her way to Gunther.
"Do you think they will let me go to the LA with the Big Time Rush?" she asked, eyes clearly hopeful.
"I think so."
"I am going to miss you Gunther. We are never apart. Not for long."
"No, but you will be unhappy here if you stay." She just nodded. "I will miss you Tinka."
"I am Tinka." Gunther smiled at her attempt to cheer her up.
"And I am Gunther!"
"And we are… THE HESSENHEFFERS!" they said, each breaking out in laughter as Gunther hugged her.
"He makes you happy?"
"Yes."
"Then go to LA. I will call and let them know."
"Thank you." Deuce watched all the friends saying goodbye before looking at Carlos.
"I can't dance," he said, looking at his boyfriend with wide eyes, who just smiled.
"We have a choreographer. He'll teach you. If you still want to come with me that is?"
"I'd follow you even if you didn't want me to." Carlos smiled and kissed his forehead as the others joined the group.
"Everyone," Kelly said, joining Gustavo. "We leave early tomorrow. So go pack. Your new life awaits."
…
*~* Epilogue: Back At The Palm Woods *~*
As the band and their newly acquired back-up dancers made their way through the lobby, they got many stares, and even some whispers.
"Something's up," Logan whispered to his friends, who all nodded in understanding. And then, two voices broke out in loud yells.
"LOGAN!"
"KENDALL!"
The two boys looked up and their jaws dropped as Camille and Jo sprinted to them, knocking their bags out of their arms. Kendall was the first to speak.
"Jo! What are you doing back here?"
"Filming wrapped up early so I got to move back. I thought – well hoped really- that we could start back where we left off at," she said, eyes hopeful. Kendall's heart sped up but then he looked over at Tinka, who was watching warily.
"I'm sorry Jo. But I just got back from Chicago and I … met someone there."
"Oh… Well then this is embarrassing," she said, letting go of him and helping him pick up his bags. "I'm sorry about that. I should've known you would've found someone. I mean, it is you after all. I hope you two will be happy together." Kendall nodded as Jo stood there awkwardly with him as they watched Camille squeeze the breath out of Logan.
"OH LOGAN I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Camille cried out dramatically as her hold tightened. Logan gasped for breath; Kendall took that as a sign to pull the dark-haired girl off of his best friend.
"Camille!" Logan gasped out, taking deep breaths. "I missed you too."
"Of course you did. Now, we need to start planning our "welcome home date-""
"Camille. I need to tell you something."
"Oh? What is it?"
"Well… while we were in Chicago… I met someone."
"Y-you met someone? B-but we've always been on and off. How can we be on and off if you've met someone new?" Camille asked, not seeming to want to believe Logan's words.
"Listen Camille. I like you. I really do. But… I love her." Camille just gasped dramatically.
"L-long distance relationships never work out!" Logan sighed but looked at Rocky, who moved to stand next to him. Camille's eyes widened and glazed over with unshed tears.
"Camille, meet one of our newest back up dancers, and my girlfriend, Rocky."
"Hi," she said nervously. Camille was just silent; her face had gone pale and her eyes dazed.
"Hello," she said, voice monotone before eyes shifted to Logan. "Congratulations." With that, she turned and walked away to sit out by the pool. All the onlookers quickly looked away from the group while Jo looked at Kendall.
"Let me guess. The blonde girl behind you is a new back up dancer?"
"And my girlfriend… Tinka." Tinka waved and smiled.
"Hello. I am Tinka." Jo looked at Kendall, an odd look on her face before looking back at the other girl.
"Hi. I'm Jo. It's nice to meet you, Tinka." Jo then turned to follow Camille before turning back. "Who are the two guys with you?"
"They would be our special friends!" James and Carlos exclaimed together, pulling their respective boyfriends against them.
"Ty," James said, making said boy smile and wave at Jo.
"And Deuce!" Carlos finished, making the shorter boy wave embarrassedly. Jo giggled but nodded.
"Well then… I'm gonna go find Camille. Welcome to the Palm Woods everybody." She quickly turned and walked away, shoulders seeming to shake in silent laughter.
"Well, that's one way to introduce everyone," a snide voice said, making eight pairs of eyes fall to its own.
"Hi Bitters. Did ya miss us?"
"Ugh," is all the man said.
"Oh come on Bitters. You know you missed me," Katie said, popping up out of nowhere.
"You kids are lucky I didn't rent out your room while you were gone. I should've. Probably could've made some good money," he grumbled before his beady eyes landed on the newcomers. "Oh no. They're with you," he said, venom hanging off his every word.
"Yup. They've already met us before you could bad-mouth us," James said with a devious smile.
"Which means… we should bad-mouth you while we've got the chance," Carlos finished, both of their smiles growing. Bitters smile fell before he spoke to the Chicago gang.
"Be careful around these four. Nothing but trouble." They guys just shook their heads before pulling the others away and towards the elevator.
"Well, guess it's a little late, but welcome to the Palm Woods," Kendall said, arms wide in a sweeping motion. "Or I guess it'd be better to say, welcome home."
…
And that is the end of Big Time Rush's journey to Chicago.
I hoped those that did read this enjoyed every bit of it.
And thank you all for reading and reviewing my first crossover.
