Kinda short and doesn't explain what mystery character (not really, you find out who James' reinforcement in like, ten seconds after you read this) said to him to make him change his mind. That's in the next chapter. Just enjoy all the fluff in this one. I'm saying the game started at around 7:45. You'll get what i mean in a bit. And if anyone hasn't noticed when they're on the phone and someone who isn't on the phone talks loud enough for both of them to hear it's in italics. Just. FYI on that.

"LOGAN MITCHELL!"
…

"Oh god. Please. No."
BANG!
"LOGAN MITCHELL YOU PIECE OF SHIT!"
"Why is everyone calling me a piece of shit?"

"Hey, Camille. How ya doin?"
"That southern charm won't work on me Logan Mitchell! Now! Tell me about Kendall! Or so help me, I'll slap you so hard you'll be straight!"
"I think that's physically impossible. All you would do is give me a very big bruise."
"Logan!"
"Fine. I guess you were the reinforcement James was talking about?"
"Yes. Now. Kendall."
"Are we going to have this conversation while you're outside on the phone with me?"
"No. I'm coming in."
"Wait! Camil-"
SWOOSH!
SPLASH!
…
"Is that all you got?"
"You dodged the bucket of vinegar and eggs? Wait- how did you get in my house?"
"James gave me his spare key and told me where every single one of your traps are. I'm coming up and you're going to tell me about Kendall and why you broke up with him."
"We would have had to have been in a relationship for me to 'break up' with him."
"Logan. I don't care. James only told me about you dating someone and you broke up with him. So you're telling me why you did it so I can kick some sense into you."
Clink!
FRWOOSH!
"Fine, even though, let me reiterate: I was not 'dating him.' Just. Don't tell James."
"I won't. Now tell auntie Camille everything."
"I guess it started when he first texted me by accident instead of Carlos."
(Fri. 6:30: p.m.)
James, can you give me a ride?
(Fri. 6:34 p.m.)
The best friend! He can text!
(Fri. 6:35 p.m.)
Who knew since he's been ignoring all my calls and texts!
(Fri. 6:38 p.m.)
I get it. I'm sorry I ignored you. I'm still angry that you told Carlos but I understand why you did.
(Fri. 6:40 p.m.)
Good. You owe me some conditioner. That vinegar egg stuff made my hair all stiff.
(Fri. 6:42 p.m.)
Sure. I'll get you as much conditioner as you want.
(Fri. 6:43 p.m.)
Salon quality?
(Fri. 6:45 p.m.)
Sure, James.
(Fri. 6:47 p.m.)
Cool!
(Fri. 6:48 p.m.)
Now.
(Fri. 6:49 p.m.)
Drive you where? And what time? I'm still grounded. I still can't believe that you weren't.
(Fri. 6:51 p.m.)
A few tears and a fake almost panic attack goes a long way.
(Fri. 6:53 p.m.)
You're evil.
(Fri. 6:55 p.m.)
I'm smart. There's a difference.
(Fri. 6:57 p.m.)
No there isn't.
(Fri. 6:59 p.m.)
James. Focus.
(Fri. 7:01 p.m.)
Fine.
(Fri. 7:02 p.m.)
Where?
(Fri. 7:03 p.m.)
When?
(Fri. 7:05 p.m.)
That's the thing. Right now.
(Fri. 7:07 p.m.)
I can do right now. Where though?
(Fri. 7:10 p.m.)
I don't know if you're going to like it.
(Fri. 7:21 p.m.)
OPERATION: KOGAN IS A GO! I REPEAT! OPERATION: KOGAN IS A GO! MAN YOUR STATIONS FOR THE KOGAN LOVE RIDE!
(Fri. 7:23 p.m.)
James? What?
(Fri. 7:25 p.m.)
FOAM FINGER MAN IS ON THE MOVE! I REPEAT! FOAM FINGER MAN IS ON THE MOVE AND HEADING TO CAPTAIN BLONDIE'S GAME!
(Fri. 7:26 p.m.)
I'm confused.
(Fri. 7:28 p.m.)
LOGAN IS GOING TO YOURS AND KENDALL'S HOCKEY GAME TO APOLOGIZE AND CHEER YOU 2 ON!
(Fri. 7:30 p.m.)
Oh. Great! I think.
(Fri. 7:32 p.m.)
Are you texting in caps because you're excited or cause your phone is stuck in caps lock?
(Fri. 7:33 p.m.)
BOTH.
(Fri. 7:34 p.m.)
I'LL TEXT YOU ONCE FOAM FINGER MAN AND I HAVE ENTERED THE NEST.
(Fri. 7:36 p.m.)
When… what?
(Fri. 7:37 p.m.)
ARGH
(Fri. 7:37 p.m.)
ONCE WE GET THERE I'LL TEXT YOU.
(Fri. 7:38 p.m.)
Oh, ok.
(Fri. 7:40 p.m.)
OPERATION: KOGAN! IS A GO! MOVE OUT!

"Yeah?"
"Kendall! Where are you, dude? Everyone's waiting for the pep speech from the great and awesome, Kendall Knight: Team Captain!"
"I'm not in the mood, Carlos. You or Gustavo do it."
"I can't do a pep speech, and the last time Gustavo did he made Dak cry!"
"I'm just not in the mood."
"Come on, dude. Logan'll come around. Just give him some time to mope and pout. He'll come around in no time!"
"I'm not sad because of Logan."
"I never said you were, but we both know you'd be lying if you said you weren't."
"I just don't get it! I've never been this distraught over getting in fights with friends before!"
"Distraught?"
"Logan rubbed off on me."
"I bet he did."
"What?"
"Nothing. Come on, Kendall! Turn that frown upside down! I'll get my brother to get you another pink smoothie before the game starts."
"I think he's done giving me pink smoothies. He glared at me the last time you made him get me one."
"That's his way of showing he cares! Come on, you give a speech, drink a free pink smoothie, play the hockey game, and beat those snobby Eveleth kids!"
"I don't know. Maybe I should let Dak lead the team tonight. I'm not feeling it."
"No. You can do this Kendall. You're my best friend and you've been through worse. We both know it. This game and then we can have a sleepover at my house and you can tell me all about how Logan's being a stupid head."
…
"Do I get free pink smoothies?"
"My boss gave me a spare to the restaurant. We can make you as many pink smoothies as you want."
…
"Ok."
"That's the spirit!"
(Fri. 7:57 p.m.)
FOAM FINGER MAN AND MODEL BEST FRIEND ARE IN THE NEST! I REPEAT. FOAM FINGER MAN AND MODEL BEST FRIEND ARE IN THE NEST.
(Fri. 8:00 p.m.)
Great you need to get Logan to like call Kendall and apologize like right now!
(Fri. 8:02 p.m.)
What happened?
(Fri. 8:05 p.m.)
We're like losing super bad right now Kendall just can't focus and still looks all sad and angry now too.
(Fri. 8:07 p.m.)
ON IT. MODEL BEST FRIEND OUT.

"Argh!"
Click!
"Whoever you are. I don't want any."
"I guess that's a good thing because the only thing I could possible sell you are some pain killers, and I do not want you to get addicted. Then the intervention would have to be for you and not James."
"Logan?"
"Do you not look at your caller ID?"
"I'm in the middle of a hockey game."
"Not from what I'm seeing. It looks like your coach benched you for punching that guy from the other team."
"Well… he was in the way."
"Sure he was."
…
…
"Why are you calling me? Now of all times?"
"Bones just wants to apologize to Kirk."
"Don't kid right now Logan. I-fuck- I told you about my dad and you still ignored me."
"Look! Kendall's fighting with his boyfriend!"
"I will dig your eyes out with my hockey stick, Wayne-Wayne!"
"That seemed a bit much."
"Wayne-Wayne's been annoying me all week. I'm not in the mood to take his shit."
"Please, Kendall. I'm sorry I ignored you."
"Tell me why you ignored me."
…
"I was scared."
"Of what? Me getting hurt? News flash Logan: everyone gets hurt. That's part of life."
"I wasn't scared of you getting hurt. I mean, that move on the ice you did at the last game to show off was completely unnecessary but that's not the point."
"I wasn't showing off…"
"Sure you weren't. Look. I wasn't scared about that."
"Then what? What got you so scared you cut me off?"
…
"I was scared of losing you too."
…
…
…
"Logan. That's not going to happen."
"You don't know that! I lost my brother and I don't wanna lose anyone else! Especially you!"
"Logan?"
"Keep watching the game, James."
"You're here?"
"How did you think I knew that you got benched for punching that guy?"
"I don't know. You're Batman?"
"You're Batman from what I remember."
…
"Logan. You're like one of my best friends. I'm not going to leave."
"How are you so sure?"
"Because I'm Kirk and you're Bones. Would Bones let Kirk die after saving the Enterprise from crashing to earth? No. He brought the dude back. I'm not leaving because you're not going to let me go."
…
…
…
"Go win this game. I'll be cheering you on."
"Heh, alright Bones. Where are you so I know to look at you when I make the winning point?"
"I shouldn't be that hard to find. I'm waving my foam finger in the air."
"You still have that thing?"
"Don't mock the foam finger. My foam finger is still cool."
"Sure it is, Logie."
"Hey! Gustavo! Let me back in the game!"
"Are you still pmsing dog?"
"Nope. I'm good."
"Alright. Next time out you're taking your spot back from Dak."
"Great."
"I gotto go."
"Beat those guys for me?"
"Sure thing, Logie."
…
"Bye, Kendall."
"Bye, Loges."
…
…
"You didn't hang up."
"Neither did you!"
"You need to get back to your game, Kendall."
"And you need to get back to cheering me on, like the good best friend you are."
"I will. Once you hang up."
"You hang up first."
"No, Kendall. You hang up first."
"No, Logie, you-"
"Oh my god! Let me do it!"
"No! James! Sto-"
