Here's the next chapter I hope you enjoy it. This one includes Big Time Secrets. I always wondered what Carlos said that made the rest want to take him down. Here's my version. Anyone else notice in this episode Gustavo is stuck on the last song on the album but in the previous episode, Big Time Superheroes, the album was done? Silly show writers, keep your plots straight.
"Kylie dances worse than Logan." Gustavo said.
"Thanks." Kylie answered sarcastically.
"You took ballet for a couple years though didn't you?" Carlos asked.
"Yes and Gymnastics where I had to do some sort of artistic floor routine but that doesn't mean I can dance." Kylie said still trying to fight off yawns.
"Get in the studio and we'll figure something out."
Sure enough they with Mr. X made up a routine that played Kylie's strengths which included a lot of stunts and spins and the like. Kylie was super tired when they got back to the apartment later that afternoon though the boys seemed more wired than ever.
"Boys, Lucy invited you down to her apartment when you got home and Kylie, I want you to—" Mrs. Knight started.
"Going to bed. Can't stand much longer. Or I could use some caffeine." Kylie answered.
"No, no caffeine or sugar. Bed." Mrs. Knight demanded.
"Yes Ma'am. Tell Lucy I said hello." Kylie yawned.
The next morning Kylie walked out the living room to find Carlos sitting on the couch, his arms crossed over his chest, helmet on his head, and an angry glare on his face. James on the other hand looked scared.
"Everything ok in here?" Kylie asked cautiously.
"It's been 14 hours. He's going to burst soon." Logan said to James.
"What did you do?" Kylie asked.
Finally Carlos snapped letting her know part of what had happened. "How could you do this to me? Heather was the love of my life."
"Heather? Heather Fox? The girl from Camp Wonky Donkey?" Kylie asked knowing she was the only Heather Carlos knew.
"Yes." Carlos answered stubbornly.
"Dude, have you thought about her in years?" Kendall asked.
"Probably not until she became the new Face Alive model." Kylie said. Carlos picked up the magazine and showed them her photo then the commercial.
"And her name is tattooed right here." Carlos pulled up his sleeve and showed them a heart tattoo on his shoulder.
"Ok that is a temporary tattoo." James said sitting up a slight bit to glare at Carlos. Carlos glared at James and he sunk back into the couch.
"Carlos, calm down. She's probably forgotten all about camp Wonky Donkey." Kylie said.
"She had a crush on me." Carlos said.
"And you're just finding this out now? Eight years later when she's probably forgotten all about that crush?" Kylie said in disbelief.
"You still have a crush on the same guy you were crushing on in second grade." Carlos said.
"Shut up." Kylie said pointing a finger at him. "How'd you find out about Heather's crush?"
Carlos explained what happened then pointed at James. "I've been wronged." Carlos said.
Kylie jumped between him and James and held up both hands. "Wait. I know you've been wronged and James will fix that because when you wrong a friend you have to make it right but—" A smell assaulted her nose cutting her off. "Is that ...?" Kylie questioned.
"Snickerdoodles," the four boys said. Then the five of them bolted over to Mrs. Knight who was holding a plate of them.
"So why aren't you at the studio?" Mrs. Knight asked.
"Gustavo is stuck on the last song for my album, something about the music just not fitting with the bass part and we don't have rehearsal for two more hours." Kylie answered.
"He's very grumpy." Logan said.
"Well no one can resist my Snickerdoodles. Maybe that can cheer him up." Mrs. Knight said.
"Momma, don't do that. We all know what happens when you give a mouse a cookie or in this case a man." Kylie said but Mrs. Knight was already dragging Katie out the door claiming she needed to be nicer to people.
"Now where were we?" Carlos asked as the door shut behind them. "Oh yeah, I WAS WRONGED!" Carlos cried.
"Yes and he'll make it right." Kylie said as Kendall and Logan spun around to face James and Carlos. "Because we all know about the best friend code. And the reason why the four of you should never keep secrets."
"Right. Now, later," Kendall said making for the door.
"Wait, where are you going?" James asked.
"None of your business," Kendall answered. Kendall left and Kylie shook her head.
"Well that's not secretive or anything." Kylie rolled her eyes but went back to her room to listen to some of her older songs. After practice for the music video they all split up again.
Later that day Kylie across Lucy who looked annoyed and stressed out. "You alright?" Kylie asked.
"No, Logan is convinced Camille and Kendall are secretly dating and wants me to help him prove it."
"Why does he think that?" Kylie asked. Lucy explained seeing them together and how they were acting. "That's not Kendall dating. He doesn't act that way. I'd say dancing but since there's no code against it so they must be ... ice skating. More specifically, figure skating." Kylie said.
"Why doesn't he just tell Logan?"
"Because of what happened with the stupid Camerellis. Where we grew up figure skaters and hockey players always had it out over ice time. The Camerellis hated us and thought that no hockey player could be as good as a figure skater even though I beat them two years in a row. The boys made a pact to never figure skate because figure skaters are evil and they hate them."
"Ah I see."
"Please don't tell Logan. He'll freak and I don't need that right now."
"Alright I won't tell." Lucy agreed.
The next morning after Kendall's and Camille's practice, and before James and Carlos met with Heather, Big Time Rush met at the studio and ran through choreography one last time.
"Can we just film this and get it over with?" Kylie asked.
"If you think you're ready." Kelly said. Everyone nodded and they shot their video with Kylie doing a lot of gymnastics and ballet moves. When they were cleared Carlos and James rushed back to the Palm Woods to meet Heather and Kendall rushed to meet Camille.
"Logan, you do know that Kendall would never date Camille right? At least not without your permission."
"Just like I'd never date his sister?" Logan snapped at Kylie before storming off. Kylie hung her head then went back to the crib.
A few hours later Kylie came out to see Gustavo, Kelly, and Katie biting into cookies that smelled like burnt metal.
"Oh that stinks." Kylie waved a hand under her nose. "What are those supposed to be?"
"Snickerdoodles," Katie said.
"No way." Kylie gave the counter a once over and then picked up the recipe card. "Mom's Super-Secret Snickerdoodle Recipe." Kylie read. "Who puts bottle caps and tooth paste in a recipe?"
"I knew that didn't sound right." Kelly said.
"That's probably why they taste horrible." Kylie smirked. "Hi Mom." Mrs. Knight had just entered with a bag of groceries.
"You planted a fake recipe card?" Katie asked holding it up.
"Yes." Mrs. Knight said.
"Otherwise she would have had to clean up the mess you three would have made while looking for the real recipe. Not like it's actually written down." Kylie said.
"Kylie." Mrs. Knight warned.
"Sorry Mom." Kylie said.
"Is this song really getting to you?" Mrs. Knight asked turning to Gustavo as Kylie rummaged through the bag.
"Yes!" Gustavo said loudly.
"We need to finish her second album and we can't do it without your recipe." Kelly said.
"And you were just saying this morning how they are family." Kylie said pulling out the chocolate bar.
"That's for after dinner." Mrs. Knight said pulling it from Kylie's grip.
"And if you want me to be nicer to people you should set a better example." Katie said.
"Fine," Mrs. Knight said. "Kylie."
"In fifth grade there was a pee wee hockey bake sale. Mom forgot about it until I reminded her the day of and she didn't have time to make anything from scratch. So I told her to go to the store and pick up a tube of ready-made Snickerdoodle Mix and a bag of sugar. We mixed it together and the kids got a sugar high and the parents loved the taste but they started asking for the recipe." Kylie explained.
"So I made up the part about it being a secret family recipe." Mrs. Knight said.
"That way she wouldn't have to admit that her 10 year old daughter was the one who came up with it and let them know it was a cop out like Mrs. Diamond did when she just bought a plate of pre-made brownies." Kylie said.
"You add a whole bag of sugar?" Kelly asked.
"You want the recipe or not?" Mrs. Knight asked.
Kelly and Gustavo held out their hands and Mrs. Knight tossed them the ingredients.
"And that's your secret. Speaking of I have to go make sure the boys haven't killed each other." Kylie said. "Mainly Kendall and Logan. Bye." Kylie grabbed her car keys and cell phone and rushed downstairs. She raced through the lobby to the front walk to see James and Carlos holding hands and staring at the shuttle as it pulled away. Then Logan raced out the front door wielding an ax shaped guitar. As Logan chased the shuttle Lucy, who had been chasing him came out.
"Wait, wait. What's going on?" James and Carlos shouted stopping Lucy. Lucy explained it and the boys freaked. "Kendall broke a code?" James shouted. They turned to chase Logan but Kylie stopped them.
"Car's faster." Kylie said.
So James, Carlos, Lucy, and Kylie piled into Kylie's car and raced to the arena.
"Ice rink?" Carlos asked.
"Just help me find Logan." Kylie said not answering her friend. Soon James, Carlos, Logan, and Lucy were standing between the Melrose Rink-A-Rena and Camille, Kendall, and Kylie.
"You broke a code." James said using the hand that was still attached to Carlos's to point at Kendall. They pulled their hands apart and Kylie turned to Logan.
"Give me the guitar because it's only shaped like an ax. It's not real nor is it sharp." Kylie demanded. Logan sighed but handed it over. "Thank you. Now will you tell them or do I have to because this is getting crazy." Kylie turned to Kendall.
"We're ... we're ..." Kendall trailed off.
"He's figure skating." Kylie snapped knowing Kendall couldn't say it. All three boys shrieked as Kendall pulled off his jacket revealing a purple, sparkling leotard then Carlos fainted.
"Ok I'm better now." Logan said.
"Thought so," Kylie said.
"OK, but we hate figure skaters." James said.
"Hey." Kylie snapped. "Camille and I both figure skate. It's like ballet on ice."
"No James, we hated the Camerellis." Kendall corrected as James looked confused about Kylie's admission. "And they always said we couldn't do it. And yes the outfit is hideous."
"True, I will take my hockey uniform over these horrid figure skating leo's any day." Kylie said.
"But I always said I would prove them wrong. And I didn't tell you guys because of the code." Kendall said.
"And because you guys would freak." Kylie said.
"Well in that case." Carlos said getting back up. "Go get 'em my shiny, glittery, best bud."
"You prove the Camerellis wrong." James said. "And skate, skate like the wind." He used his signature move.
"Wait, you guys aren't mad?" Kendall asked.
"No." Logan said as the boys came down the few steps between them. "We're ... proud of you." Logan finished patting Kendall on the shoulder then looking at his hand as though it were infected.
"The lesson we learned here, it's ok to break a code as long as there's a good reason." Kylie said.
"Now you get out there and show the world that hockey skaters can skate just as good as figure skaters." Logan said. Everyone cheered and Kendall and Camille headed inside. Just before Kendall and Camille went to warm up, Kylie pulled Kendall aside.
"Whatever you do, whatever you try, do not under any circumstances; do not try the death spiral. It gets its name for a reason. Please I'm begging you Kendall." Kylie said.
Knowing how important this was to his sister by the look in her eyes Kendall agreed. "Fine, I swear on my MVP hockey trophy that I will not try the death spiral."
"Great. Break a leg." Kylie said.
Kylie, James, Logan, Carlos, and Lucy sat in the audience and watched the performances.
"Kylie, what do you mean you're a figure skater? You hated the Camerellis as much as we did." James said.
"True but when we were taking ballet I realized how much I loved it and wondered if figure skating was a lot like it. I tried out in ninth grade and I liked it. Especially when I beat Mimi Camerelli in the woman's final figure skating competition. Two years in a row. Wiped that dirty little smirk off her prissy little face. I was stoked for weeks. Y'all made the vow I didn't. Figure skating isn't evil just the Camerellis." Kylie said.
"I would have loved to see that." James said smirking.
"Yeah me in a leo. You saw that in ballet, not gonna happen again." Kylie said.
"They'd make a cute couple." Lucy whispered to Logan. Kylie was still watching James but he didn't seem to hear her. Logan only stared at Lucy.
"I can't help that I think you're a pretty girl who is too self-conscious. You're gorgeous Kylie and you should show that off more." James said.
"I'm on the cover, currently on the cover, of two magazines. What more do I need to show off? My awesome rock climbing ability?" Kylie said.
"You don't rock climb because you hate heights." James said.
"Hush they're on." Carlos said. James and Kylie went quiet and watched Kendall and Camille.
Kendall kept his promise and instead of trying that he did a double Sal chow managing to not only hurt himself but Camille. When the doctor released them from the ER he warned Kendall to stay off his right foot for about a week and Camille's arm would be in a sling for a couple of days. About the time it took for their assorted bruises and scrapes to heal.
"I have to go fill my gas tank." Kylie said. "Have fun taking a cab."
The guys groaned but took two cabs back to the Palm Woods. When Kylie got back she found the other three boys had Carlos trapped between them and the vending machine. Kylie jumped over both the bench and the shrubs planted there sliding between the three boys and Carlos who was holding his helmet on with both hands. "Guys, guys, guys, guys. What's going on?" Kylie asked holding up both hands to stop them from getting to Carlos.
"We thought we'd play a nice, simple, nonviolent game of truth or dare." Logan said.
"Because that doesn't involve secrets at all." Kylie said. "So what did you find out? And how did it turn violent?"
"You remember ninth grade and the detention we got for trashing the Varsity Hockey locker room?" Kendall asked.
"We got detention for that for a month," Kylie said, "and Coach Carter almost kicked us off the hockey team."
"It was Carlos's fault." Logan said.
"Carlos." Kylie growled spinning around to face him. Carlos yelped. "Why?" Kylie asked.
"You remember the girl I was crushing on? Becky Davis?" Carlos said softly.
"The sophomore who had a senior boyfriend?" Kylie asked.
"Yeah her. She told me she had this fight with her boyfriend and she wanted to get him back so if I helped her trash the locker room Coach Reynolds, the varsity coach, would flip and he'd get the blame since she was going to lure him to the locker room. After I helped her she drags me out front and there I see her boyfriend in detention already. Turns out she knew you four would be closest and her boyfriend couldn't stand James." Carlos gave her the most pitiful look ever and Kylie heart melted.
"So only the four of you got detention?" Lucy asked.
"Yes because Carlos was nowhere near the locker room. You're lucky I was able to convince Coach Carter to let us stay on the hockey team as long as we cleaned up the mess."
"I'm sorry." Carlos said.
Kylie lifted her hand to hit him then lowered it and shook her head. "You're lucky I can't hit you." Kylie said.
"I'm really sorry." Carlos said.
"Why didn't you tell us this back in ninth grade?" James asked.
"I don't know. I was scared you'd be angry." Carlos said.
"It was four years ago. It's over now and it didn't hurt anything. Not really." Kylie sighed. "So no more secrets?" Kylie asked turning to the other three.
"Deal," they said.
"Deal," Carlos agreed over Kylie shoulder.
"Deal, now let's go watch some TV or something." Kylie said.
"Pool," Camille suggested. They agreed and headed for the pool.
Then Kylie pulled Carlos back before they exited the lobby. "If you ever tell anyone about that thing I made you spit swear about in second grade I will kill you, code or no code."
"What thing?" At Kylie's glare he swallowed. "That thing, some secrets are better kept between the two of us." Carlos said.
"And the thing I told you about in seventh grade. Kendall will kill him." Kylie said.
"Those two things will always remain a secret between us no matter what other secrets hurt our friendship. I will never tell him about those two things."
"You'll never tell anyone. He doesn't even know you know." Kylie said.
"But—"
"No!" Kylie demanded.
"Not gonna say anything." Carlos said smirking.
"Thank you." Kylie said. They walked out to the pool and sat down with their friends.
And there you have it. Check out my profile for the link to the photos for this story.
Wonder what it is that Kylie is threatening Carlos about? Well I know but I'd love to hear your guesses as to what you think and who exactly he is that doesn't know Carlos knows. Thanks to everyone for reading, reviewing, alerting, and favoriting my story. Love you all.
