Chapter 25: Training Dogs And A Cat
"Boys," Gustavo began, "Our album comes out in three months." The boys looked really excited about this. Katrina was sitting in the nearby circle chair, watching with confusion. For some reason, Gustavo had asked her to stay. Brandon left to go get the stuff for the floors that he and Katrina would be working on later. "And given our recent web video DISASTER," The boys backed away a little and Katrina smirked cause for once, she wasn't in trouble too. "It's time for phase two of my get Big Time Rush on the web so people will know about you and buy your album in three months."
"Is that phase two under the sheet?" Kendall asked. There was something under a big red sheet in the room that all five teens were curious about.
"Guys," Kelly started, "Get ready because today, Big Time Rush is spending-" She pulled the sheet off, revealing a computer, "A day with Deke."
"Hollywood's number one entertainment blogger," Gustavo added.
"Is that why I'm here?" Katrina piped up.
"CAT! BE QUIET!" Gustavo yelled at her. Katrina glared at him, but didn't say another word.
"Guys," Kelly went on, "Dak Zevon was a nobody until he spent the day ice fishing with Deke. Then, he became the 'reel deal'."
"And today," Gustavo continued, "It's Big Time Rush at the famous Palm Woods pool!" The guys began to cheer.
"Oh, this can't be good," Katrina mumbled so no one could hear.
"Cool, so we just have to hang out with this guy and be the real us," Kendall commented.
Gustavo and Kelly started laughing and then cut off abruptly, "No." And then the boys were confused.
"I don't want him anywhere near the real you," Gustavo told them. "You'll just knock him into the pool or slice off his arm with a hockey stick."
"He's got a point," Katrina added. "You do tend to cause mayhem wherever you go and with whomever you hang out with."
"Cause that's bad, right?" Carlos mentioned. Katrina facepalmed.
"Yes," Kelly nodded her head with wide eyes, "Because if you have a bad day with Deke, your careers could end up like Tanyon Levelle's."
"Who's Tanyon Levelle?" The boys asked.
"Exactly," Gustavo and Kelly responded. The boys were even more confused.
"And now," Gustavo began, "I present to you, my day-with-Deke-big-time-dog-training preparation team!" He pointed at the door as Kelly used an air horn.
Suddenly, a bunch of people showed up in front of the door. There were two people in suits, three stylists, and a guy wearing a martial arts uniform.
"Katrina, go join them," Gustavo told her.
"What? Why?" Katrina looked confused now.
"Because you had a great day with Deke two and a half years ago, so you're now a part of my team!" Gustavo explained. Katrina groaned, but then got up and stood next to the guy in the martial arts uniform.
The team began to make signature moves, but when Katrina just stood there, they stared at her, waiting for a move. She sighed as she put her hands on her hips, spread her legs and stared at the boys with a military like gaze, her hair somehow flying back like a fan had been placed in front of her. The guys looked scared of the entire team.
"CHANGE THEM!" The people in the business suits yelled. The stylists ran forward with clothes in their hands and began to change the guys, right there in the practice room. Katrina looked away so she wouldn't see anything.
After a lengthy process, the boys were changed and so was the practice room to make it look like an area at the Palm Woods pool. The business suit people were standing in front of the boys with Gustavo and Kelly. Katrina was sitting on one of the chairs facing the boys.
"Boys," the woman began, "We've not only recreated the Palm Woods pool setting for your day with Deke-" She and the man pulled out a cardboard cutout of Deke to show them. Katrina raised her eyebrows at this.
"We've also recreated Deke," the man finished.
"He's so tiny!" Carlos pointed at the cardboard cutout.
"Please don't say that when you see him!" Gustavo told him, almost yelling. "Because it is very important what he thinks of you, got it?"
"Got it," The boys responded.
"Now," Gustavo addressed all the boys, "Good luck with your training, my young padawans. It begins, NOW!" He clapped his hands and both he and Kelly left.
"Star Wars reference," Katrina observed, "Nice."
"Boys," the woman got the guys' attentions. "We've analyzed every one of Deke's celebrity blogs and have the questions he's most likely to ask."
"Or you could just ask me," Katrina mentioned, "I mean, that's why I'm here!"
The business people ignored her as the man started talking, "So let's get started. Kendall, how would you describe BTR's music?"
"Oh, um," Kendall began, "I'd say it's got some rock and-" He was cut off by a buzzer. Katrina jumped in her seat.
"Too long," the woman complained, "Deke wants juicy soundbites he can sink his blog into."
"No, he likes long things because they give more information," Katrina told them. The business people ignored her.
"Say, 'Big Time Rush is a fun mix of rock, pop with a dash or R&B.'" the man lectured. Katrina rolled her eyes, but the business people didn't notice.
"Logan," the woman started, "If you weren't in a band, what would you be doing right now?"
"Studying to be a doctor," Logan answered. The buzzer went off again.
"Wrong," the man told him.
"What's wrong with that?" Katrina complained.
"Deke is going to think you're geeky," the man continued to ignore Katrina. "Say you'd rather be snowboarding."
"Snowboarding?" Logan looked hesitant.
"Snowboarding," both business people confirmed.
"Okay, that does it," Katrina got up getting everyone's attention. "If you're going to make these guys change who they are then I'm not going to be a part of it." She walked over to the door and tried the handle, but it wouldn't move. She paused for a second before trying it again. Stopping, she turned around, "Why is the door locked?"
"Gustavo thought the boys would run," the woman told her.
Katrina waited a second, thinking about her options, "You know what? You guys just do your thing and I'll just watch." She walked back over and sat down on the seat facing the boys.
Time passed by as Katrina watched the boys give wrong answers over and over, her headache coming back from the constant buzzing. Although, when Logan shared a sad story from when he was seven, Katrina found herself wanting to run over and comfort him and tell him her sad stories, but the buzz broke her out of that thought.
"Violence!" Carlos answered the last question.
"Carlos," the man scolded, "Violence is never the answer. The correct answer is seven." All four of the boys looked defeated.
"Okay," the woman began, "According to those answers, we predict that Deke will think you're slightly more advanced than cavemen who like corndogs."
"Or, he'll think that they're normal boys!" Katrina finally spoke up. She was lying down on the chair, her feet dangling off the side.
James screamed and stood up, "We can do better."
Logan joined in, "We are way more developed than cavemen. Cro-Magnon even."
"And we like hot dogs too," Carlos added.
"We're just four hockey players who love singing and we can't wait for people to hear our first album," Kendall finished.
A ding went off as the woman spoke, "Congratulations. Deke now thinks Big Time Rush is four dedicated, smart and fun loving guys who share a passion for music."
"And," the man went on, "He's looking forward to your album."
"YES!" The boys cheered.
"This isn't going to go well," Katrina noted.
Suddenly, the man that was wearing the martial arts outfit popped out from behind a plant. Katrina screamed and ran over to the boys, hiding behind them. They watched the man with their eyebrows raised as he pulled a table out from behind the plant that had a bowl of biscuits on it. The man joined the business people.
"Sit down," the business man told them. The boys sat down, leaving Katrina standing there.
"You will join them, Katrina," the woman addressed her.
"What? Why?" Katrina looked confused.
"Because you are not being a good example to the boys," the woman answered. "So, we're going to train you too." Katrina rolled her eyes, but sat down next to James.
"Boys and Katrina," the business man began, "Say hello to body language expert to the stars, Mr. Fong." The man in the martial arts outfit bowed.
"What's with the biscuits?" Kendall pointed at the bowl of biscuits.
Mr. Fong immediately grabbed a biscuit and threw it at Kendall, "No pointing! Deke will think you are accusing. Offer a gentle smile instead."
"What the hell?" Katrina commented and a biscuit was thrown at her.
"No swearing!" Mr. Fong scolded, "Deke will think that you are rude and violent."
James pulled out his lucky comb and began fixing his hair. Another biscuit was thrown at him. "Ow!"
"Deke thinks you are shallow and only care about appearances," Mr. Fong explained.
"Uh, is that bad?" James asked.
For an answer, Mr. Fong threw another biscuit at him. All five teens crossed their arms to protect themselves only to have more biscuits thrown at them, "NEVER CROSS YOUR ARMS! Deke will think you are closed to him. You want to be open." He held his arms open as if by an example. The teens followed this and opened their arms. "Better." They sighed and relaxed. "NO SLOUCHING!" And more biscuits were thrown.
When Mr. Fong stopped throwing biscuits, he started asking for poses, "Show me, Deke thinks you are engaged." All of them put their hands to their chins as though they were thinking about something. "He thinks you are cool." While the guys adapted their 'cool' poses, Katrina did hers, putting her arm on the back of the seat, tilting her head up and giving a peace sign with her fingers. "ECLECTIC!" All of them did weird poses, Katrina sat down on the back of the seat, resting her arm over the top of her head as she smirked. "SMOKING HOT!"
Kendall rested his arms on the back of the seat, giving a 'come hither' look. Logan flexed one of his arms, showing a lot of muscle. Carlos had leaned forward to rest his elbow on the fire pit and rest his head on his hand. James leaned back, putting his hands behind his head.
"Wait, where'd Katrina go?" the business woman commented. Everyone looked over and noticed that Katrina had disappeared.
Suddenly, as if on cue, two hands appeared and smacked down on the back of the seat right behind Logan and Carlos. They jumped and parted as everyone in the room turned to watch the hands. There was pressure put on them as Katrina pushed down on them and appeared. Her mouth was slightly open, she had a lustful look in her eye and somehow, her hair was flying back. She pushed herself up onto the back of the seat so that she could lie across it on her side. Her hand began moving up her leg, seductively. All four guys stared at her with mouths open.
"She wins," Mr. Fong noted, stunned into surprise too.
Katrina smiled as she moved to sit down in between Logan and Carlos, "Naturally. I was trained for this." The boys snapped out of it as soon as she had moved out of her 'smoking hot' pose.
"Now," Mr. Fong bowed to them, "You are ready for your day with Deke." The teenagers began cheering and the business people bumped knuckles.
Mr. Fong pulled out a biscuit and the teenagers screamed, huddling together to keep from getting pelted with biscuits again. "What?" Mr. Fong looked at the innocently, "Fong is hungry." He then bit into the biscuit as the teens relaxed.
Gustavo, Kelly and the stylists came back in the room as the business man addressed them, "Boys, this is a test you cannot fail."
"You need to make this a day Deke will never forget," the woman added.
"What he thinks is what is," Mr. Fong advised them. Katrina furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
"And remember," Gustavo finished, "Our album comes out in three months and the web is a powerful tool that can take BTR right to the top and Deke," He took off his sunglasses in emphasis, "Is a powerful man."
"Am I done now?" Katrina asked.
"Yes," Gustavo answered.
"Great," Katrina mentioned, "Then I'm out of here." Before anyone could do anything, Katrina sprinted from the room all the way to the elevator where she pressed the button for the floor above.
Once she reached Penny's Pet Care, she found Brandon there waiting for her.
"Where have you been?" Brandon asked her.
"For some reason the guys WON'T LET ME WORK!" Katrina explained, clearly aggravated. "Don't they realize that we're opening on Monday? It's almost like they're distracting me from something." Suddenly, her face got a look of realization, "WHAT DID YOU TELL THEM?"
"They probably realized that you're stressing about the opening and want to keep your mind off of tomorrow," Brandon let her know. "We should probably get to work on the floors." He held up some tiles to prove his point. Katrina shrugged and picked up a couple too so she could help.
