This was a real pain in the butt to write. I swear I was stuck on this for a whole freaking 2 days and had to keep erasing because I hated everything I was writing. The story I decided on isn't really a "vacation", more like a break.
Theme 21: Vacation
The guy all trudged into their apartment after a LONG day of work and school. It was almost 10:00, they were tired, and they still had homework they had to finish.
Carlos lay down on the couch "I just wanna go to bed. I'm sleepy." He mumbled tiredly.
"Well don't because we have homework." Logan said and put all their text books on the table then rested his head on the table "I'm tired." He said.
"We need a vacation." James said as he sat on the couch and lifted Carlos's legs into his lap.
"That's actually a good idea." Kendall said.
"What are you talking about?" Logan murmured.
"I bet I can convince Gustavo to give us a day off tomorrow and we can just ditch school tomorrow" Kendall said.
"Mama Knight won't let us ditch school though." Carlos yawned.
"Nah she won't mind." Kendall said.
"I'm in." James said.
"Mhmm. Me too." Carlos said.
"No! I'm not going to ditch school and risk getting suspended." Logan said.
"My mom can just call us in sick from… food poisoning or something." Kendall said "And I'll convince Gustavo to let us have the day off." Kendall picked up the phone. He dialed Gustavo and James and Carlos both looked at Logan who still looked unsure about playing hooky.
"Please Logie." Carlos pleaded.
"Logan you can either take a day off with us, or stay here and be exhausted."
"Uhhh." Logan thought "I guess" he slowly said, still unsure. Logan always gave into peer pressure.
"yay." Carlos tiredly said. Kendall put down the phone was sat on the couch next to James.
"We get the day off tomorrow." Kendall said.
"Awesome! We should do something." James said.
"Like what?" Carlos asked.
"We should go to the museum." Logan suggested.
"Why?" James asked.
"Because I'm giving up school to go on a little vacation with you guys. The least you guys can do is come to the museum." Logan said.
James was about to protest but Kendall said something before he could. "Fine, we'll go to the museum with you." Kendall said.
"What?" James asked.
"Let's just go to the museum. It might be fun." Kendall said. Logan smiled, he felt very satisfied that they could finally go to the museum. Since they moved to L.A he hasn't seen anything there except for the Venus exhibit.
"We should finish our homework now so we don't have to worry about it tomorrow." Logan suggested, not that Carlos and James heard him because they fell asleep on the couch. He and Kendall finished their homework then retired to their rooms for the night.
Next day they arrived at the museum and James and Carlos couldn't be less excited. They got out of the Big Time Rush mobile and paid the entrance fees to get in then they went to the space exhibit first.
"See isn't this place great?" Logan asked and looked around. The room they were in had dim lighting and the ceiling looked like space with all the stars and stuff. There were ramps that led to several attractions. Kendall, Carlos, and James went to go look at a list of constellations and tried to find them on the ceiling, while Logan wondered elsewhere. When he returned to the others he held four tickets in his hands. "I got tickets to see the next planetarium showing." Logan said.
"When's that?" James asked.
"In five minutes." Logan said "LET'S GO!" he demanded. Kendall and James groaned and followed the smart boy to the planetarium. They didn't go far before they noticed Carlos wasn't following.
"Dude come on." Kendall said.
"I don't wanna." He said sheepishly.
"Carlos just come on. It's not as boring as you think." Logan said then grabbed him by the hoodie and did his best to drag him, though he was resisting. Finally James got tired of walking behind them and picked up Carlos and tossed him over his shoulder.
"Guys I don't want to go in!" Carlos complained. They entered the theater and took their seats and waited for the show to start. When it started Carlos's stomach jumped. He hated these things. Everything about them made him nervous, the life-life graphics, the loud sounds, but what bugged him the most was knowing if you got sucked into a wormhole you'd be lost forever.
"Guys can we go now?" Carlos asked.
"Why?" Kendall asked.
"I don't like this." He said. James could sense the discomfort and tension in Carlos's voice. He stood up and said "I'll take Carlos to do something else." James offered.
"Fine, fine." Logan said and continued to watch the presentation. James and Carlos both left the theater and went back into the exhibit.
When the presentation was over Logan and Kendall found the other two playing with wet, slimy, red sand that was supposed to represent Mars. "What are you guys doing?" Kendall asked.
"I think its Mars." James said scooping up a handful of the stuff.
Carlos flicked a bit at Logan. "Isn't it awesome?" he asked with a smile.
Logan wiped off his face. "No, not really. I want to go to the next exhibit now." He said.
"Fine just give us a minute." James said then both he and Carlos went to the sinks nearby to wash off.
The next exhibit was the dinosaur exhibit. Logan was just fascinated from all the ancient fossils and the bones. While Logan was taking pictures of all the dinosaurs, Kendall, James and Carlos found amusement in the 'Kids' Fun Zone'. They each kneeled down at a little table and looked at the supplies. Kendall was the first to pick up a crayon, that was more like multi-colored waxes molded into one cake like crayon, and a piece of paper and put it over a dinosaur mold. James and Carlos did the same and the three of them each ended up having some lovely dinosaurs.
"Guys stop fooling around. Let's go see the human body exhibit now." Logan said. The other guys groan and got up, bringing their dinosaur drawings with them of course.
The human body exhibit was what Logan wanted to see the most. He loved seeing the blood cells, human bones, brains and veins. Kendall, James and Carlos roamed around with him. Carlos got excited when he was in the food groups. It was his favorite part, well it was until he saw a corndog. He thought it was real and took a bite out of it, turns out it was just rubber. Logan thought it was hilarious and took a picture of Carlos taking a bite into a fake corndog.
James and Kendall wondered around and looked at a diagram of what a baby looks like as it's growing inside a stomach. Then moved on and saw some graphs of what a lung of a smoker looked like. Most of what they saw was pretty discussing but they loved it.
Next they went to see the 'Coins and Minerals' exhibit. Logan saw it as beautiful, while the others saw it as a bunch of rocks with labels on them. They were so board. Finally they finished the coins and minerals and Logan said they could go.
"That was the most boringest thing I've ever done." Carlos said as he climbed into the back seat of the Big Time Rush Mobile.
"I agree with Carlos." James said.
"Next time I'll pick what we're doing." Kendall said.
"Whatever." Logan said started the car to go home.
A/N: I hated that. That was like Theme 8 all over again. It was supposed to be cute but it wasn't. But you know what, there are 100 themes and I'm gonna end up writing some bad ones. I promise the next one will be better. I'm probably going to end up posting like 3 or 4 themes at a time cuz I'm gonna be writing a lot while I go to my grandma's for Independence Day. It's gonna be a whole 3 hour drive into the Rockies so I've got that whole time to write and I'll have NO distractions and I'll be surrounded by gorgeous scenery, though I will be searching for that rainbow bear I swear is hiding in the forest while writing. Have a good 4th of July everyone!
