December 24th

The day previous to the big event. The day granted the title 'Eve'. Every heart on the living Earth is anticipating the greatest day of the year. The final day before all things became silent, and peaceful. The holy day celebrating the birth of our saviour. A day for love, hope, joy, all things wonderful and miraculous. Everyone is eager for the following day, and today is just the right time to be filled with holiday cheer and Christmas joy. From the flashing lights to the top of the tree, everything is marvelous.

The barely bright sunlight that passed through the gray clouds lit the inside of James' house, where four sleeping boys were all cuddling close to each other, one on top of the other, limbs tangling that no one knew what was who's. Logan had his head fitted in the crook of Kendall's neck as Kendall had his arms around him and holding him gently. Carlos rested his head on James' chest, listening to his soothing heartbeat, counting a constant rhythm that was like a lullaby for the boy.

Their natural body alarms signaled their awakening, as all four boys awoke from their slumbers at their different times. Logan was the first awake, a bit uncomfortable sleeping where he was. Another night where he awoke seeing blonde. Only this time, it was blissful to see. He was happy seeing him, and knowing in his heart that he did indeed love the boy in front of him. Yes, it was a very special Christmas miracle.

"Logan, you awake." Carlos asked as he awoke, and he noticed Logan shuffling in his sleep.

"Yeah, just got up," Logan replied, getting up hastily from his seat and the blood drained from his head.

"C'mon let's go get changed before these guys get up. We got a big day ahead of us." Carlos said, getting up on his two legs, pulling Logan along with him. Still full of exhaustion, they started stumbling on their feet, almost falling over. Luckily they didn't so they just laughed it off, before going up to take a shower.

The hustle and bustle of the city was all so intriguing. A giant Christmas tree hung in center square, filled with lots of ornaments and bright lights, stuffed boxes of presents underneath it. Many shops hung signs of last minute Christmas sales, flashy lights appealing to the consumers. Crowds flooded the streets, traffic occupied the roadsides, and that's where they were, standing there, taking in this big city life.

"Wow, the city. It's so big," Carlos marveled at the tall buildings that reached towards the sky. It made him dizzy and nearly toppled over on his two feet.

"No wonder why Babe got lost here," Logan said, just as stupefied at this as Carlos is.

"Okay, enough chit chat. We got five hours to come up with a completely new look for Christmas. Then we gotta go to the central square where the Mayor is. Everyone got that?" James said, seeming controlled and demonstrating his leadership potential. Everyone nodded at him before they began walking off down the labyrinth of the city streets. It could have easily made someone lose sight of where they're heading, and from their group of friends. So Kendall and Logan held hands to weave through the crowd safely. As well did James and Carlos, plus Carlos and Kendall so they all stayed together without losing a single head.

Reaching the streets with all the designer label clothes, they began looking around the elegant stores, decorated with plenty of variety for the boys to choose from. With James' fashion eye, it wasn't long for them to settle on a particular store. Inside, there were sales of Christmas clothing, where they all went to first.

"Okay, what shall we settle with?" James asked, already going through the racks, looking for something half decent to be considered fashionable and Christmas themed. Carlos stayed with James, since he knew how to dress up his boyfriends. Logan stayed with Kendall, who was already picking a costume. He decided on a red button up shirt, with a matching candy cane striped tie to go with it. He wore dark skinny jeans with a pair of red converses to match.

When he got changed into it, he really was a sight to behold. Everything hugged him well, that it made Logan a bit jealous. But no matter, he was just drooling over him anyways. Kendall did a turn to let Logan examine him in his full glory, and he swore a little drop fell out of his mouth.

"Looks like we have a winner." James complimented him when he saw his attire. Everyone agreed so Kendall decided to buy it for tonight.

"I don't like this store, let's go somewhere else," Carlos complained, already taking James with him to the next store, Logan and Kendall following behind once he paid for the clothes of course. Exiting out to the now snowing streets, Carlos made his way to another store a few blocks down. Not wanting to spoil his new clothes, Kendall threw his coat over his clothes as the snow fell endlessly.

Hours into the afternoon, everyone found something to wear for their concert. Carlos, with the help of James, decided on a plain red v neck, since James liked v necks, plus a black and white jacket, with baggy dark washed jeans and white sneakers. James decided on a very tight red and white tee with white jeans that look like wintry frost. This in itself was such a turn on for Carlos, he wouldn't even stop putting his hands all over him. Logan wore white. Basically the meaning of a white Christmas. He wore a white tee with snowflakes on it, and similar white jeans to James, plus white sneakers. He stood out the most, since he didn't wear red.

"Hmm, I know," Kendall said running into a store, dragging Logan with him. He didn't want to be the only one wearing a tie so he grabbed a bright red one and hung it around Logan's neck. It brought out it's colour from the white shirt it was on. He proceeded to tie it around his neck, when he paid for it first.

"Isn't it a little weird wearing it like this. It works with a collar shirt like you're wearing, but this is a tee."

"Nonsense, Logan. It can totally be pulled off. At least do it for me. So we can be all matchy," Kendall convinced him to do, the taller man still had so much power over him, so Logan complied to his request.

"Come on, you two. We gotta get to city center in an hour," Seeing the Christmas night cover the town, they came running out and followed James who was chasing down Carlos.

"How are we getting there, James?" Carlos asked, stopping in his tracks.

"It's a twenty minute trip by bus, and the bus stop's right there." James guided them all there, as the bus began to pull up.

"You boys need a lift?" The driver asked awaiting at the bus stop. With nods, they hopped on board. Sitting comfortable in their not so cozy seats, they awaited their journey to their destination. The traffic at night was much worse than it was in the day. When moving at one mile an hour, it'd take them a while to get there. Time in which they did not have. The loud blaring noise of the various honks and toots were starting to get on their nerves,

"Can you go any faster?" James sat up, irritated and argued with the bus driver.

"We've gotta get to center square," Carlos joined,

"And sing some carols," Kendall put in,

"And spread some Christmas cheer," Logan said too.

"Sorry boys. If traffic's not moving, then neither are you. Sit down!" The gruff driver told them, which they complied. Getting bored with their long trip, the guys groaned and moaned, in their seats, restless until it got on the bus driver's nerves.

"If you need to get there so badly, fine," Then the four boys found themselves kicked off the bus, "Walk there. I'm sure it's much faster. Merry freaking Christmas," he said, then closed the door on them and honked the horn along with the other cars.

"Now, what do we do?" Carlos and Logan looked towards James, seeing as this wouldn't have happened unless James got himself involved.

"Look, it's only twenty minutes away if we run. We're on last, so let's go," James and Kendall began sprinting down the frosty streets, trying to dodge upcoming people. Logan and Carlos followed far behind, trying not to lose them within the crowd. But within a big city, anything is possible.

"W-Where did they go?" Carlos asked, knowing they found themselves hopelessly lost in the bustle of the city.

"I-I dunno. I hate to say this but I think we're lost." Logan said defeated. Carlos latched himself onto Logan, hoping that he didn't lose him, but not even Logan knew what was going to happen. Then, out of the corner of his eyes, he saw something shining catch his eyes. He saw the large star that was hung on the Christmas tree in the center square.

"Follow me Carlos," Logan proceeded to pull Carlos with him, through the snow, down the street, across the road and right to the square. There he saw James and Kendall waiting.

"Thanks for waiting for us," Logan said sarcastically through his tiresome voice. Carlos was also panting beside him, glaring at them as best he could.

"Sorry guys, we thought you were following us," James said so harmlessly. Of course there was harm done.

"Couldn't at least look behind ya to see we were gone," The argument was gone once the mayor came by to wish them luck.

"Your up guys." He patted on their backs before turning onto the stage. They all collected themselves in deep, long drawn breaths before getting ready to get on stage.

"Now, I'd like to welcome to the stage, Big Time Rush." A thunderous applause came from the audience as the four boys got up on stage. They stood upon that stage that overlooked the whole town. Logan could see, far off into the distance, his dad and his mom, both his parents were there to watch him. Did his dad get the Christmas break he's been hoping for? Everyone could see that they're parents out in the crowds, close enough to each other. They're glad that their parents are such good friends with each other.

Logan, Kendall and Carlos began to start the song, creating the back track for James to sing the words solo. Him being the better singer, he could reach the notes. The whole world hushed, awaiting the carol to be sung

"O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining, It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth." James sung absolutely fascinating, as his voice radiated through the crowd.

"Long lay the world in sin and error pining. Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth. A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn." Kendall, Carlos and Logan began to elevate their voices, creating the background track, making the song seem much more special. Everyone marveled at their song, feeling the depth of emotion in the song.

"Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! O night divine, the night when Christ was born; O night, O Holy Night , O night divine! O night, O Holy Night , O night divine!" James echoed his voice, spreading it through the entire city, Kendall, Logan and Carlos, harmonized some of his words, and let the emotion cry out to high heaven. The crowd cheered and applauded, screaming in praise and clapping in reward. They smiled at all of them, before moving onto their next songs.

Singing favourites such as 'Silent Night' and 'Hark! The herald angels sing,' They stayed them, taking in the welcoming, praising atmosphere. So this is what it's like being famous. They all really liked it, the attention, the applause, the deafening praise, it was all so wonderful.

"Before we go, we just want to say; Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Seasons greetings, God bless and think peace. Good night, and have a pleasant morning," James finished off, taking in one last round of applause before getting off stage. All the four boys hugged each other, really proud of what they achieved today. They talked among themselves, thinking how great they were. Then a large, burly man came along and wanted to talk to them.

"Whoa, you're Gustavo Rocque!" James exclaimed, seeing the big man in a winter coat and sunglasses. He took off his sunglasses to take a good look at the boys.

"Er, I saw your performance up there, and I was wondering, if you wanted to become famous? Huh, whaddya say?" He had a smug grin on his face but this was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Like all opportunities, you've got to grab onto it, and go Big Time.

"Y-Yes, of course we will." James was the first to answer when he shook of the shock that they had all received. No one protested so yeah, why not go for it.

"Great, here's my card." Gustavo gave James the card, looking like the leader of the group. He stared blankly at the card, thinking this could not be true.

"I-I can't believe it. We get to record songs with the legendary Gustavo Rocque! I can't believe this, we're going to become famous." James jumped up and down, followed by the other three boys as they hopped around, looking like crazy people.

"Whoa, whoa, what's with all the commotion?" Mr Garcia, Carlos' dad came asking as all their parents came to greet their sons.

"W-We just got asked to become famous! Can you believe this!" Carlos informed his dad and all the other parents, whose sons were still shocked to respond.

"That's great. You should take it," Mrs Diamond encouraged them. They all went over to their respective parents, talking about this particular offer. It seemed none of them seemed to disagree, seeing as how the argument was that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Soon, they all decided to get home for the night, as the snow began to fall again. The sooner they can get some sleep, the sooner the Christmas day is. Logan was the most excited though, when his dad told him the absolutely greatest news he's heard; that his dad's staying for Christmas, and New Years too. He was too happy, like he was a kid again.

So now he can't wait to get into his bed, and waking up one Christmas morning.
