Big Time Rush:

Future

Kendall had been mulling it over for months, he talked to the guys about it, he talked to his baby sister, he talked to his mother, he talked to Camille, he talked to Kelly, and he even talked to Gustavo about it. Kendall had been trying to figure out over the course of the last couple months if he should ask his girlfriend of seven years Jo to marry him. Once he decided he was ready to be married which only took about ten seconds after he thought about it he spent the rest of the time trying to figure out whether or not she'd say yes.

Everyone of course believed Jo would say yes but Kendall kept thinking about all the reasons she could say no. Camille had told him flat out there was no reason in the world she would ever say no.

Kendall finally managed to convince himself that there was no reason he should have to be nervous and took his sister with him to go look for a ring. He figured having Katie with him may make it easier to pick out the ring. They found the perfect ring. It was a silver ring with four prongs holding the blue stone in place.

Kendall thought the ring was absolutely perfect for Jo. It was simply elegant and something about it screamed Jo when he saw it sitting in the store. Katie had thought it was perfect for Jo as well. Jo wasn't a complicated person, she wasn't into huge fancy things, and Kendall thought this ring represented that. Now all he had to do was find the right time to ask. He'd already gone through the painful process of asking her father for her hand in marriage. He'd managed to convince her father to give him his blessing. Her mother couldn't have been more thrilled when she found out Kendall wanted to marry her daughter, she gave him her blessing without hesitating. That annoyed Jo's father on the other hand.

Kendall was shaken out of his thoughts when his sister tugged on his sleeve. Kendall looked down to his baby sister who had a very regretful look on her face as she pointed over to the front desk. He looked over to the front desk where she was pointing and saw something he was never expecting to see again: Lucy Stone.

Kendall's eyes widened. That's not good, he thought. Lucy turned around and saw him standing there, dumbfounded with his sister, and she waved at him. Kendall felt a moment of panic wash over him but then he decided maybe it was just better to stand his ground and talk to her. Kendall took a deep breath as Lucy walked over to him with a small smile. Kendall smiled just a little as she walked over to him.

"Hi," Lucy said.

"Hi," Kendall answered. "How are you?"

"I'm good." Lucy smiled brightly. "How are you?"

Kendall nodded slipping his hand into his pocket. His fingertips brushed the soft felt box that remained hidden in his jean pocket. A grin broke out onto his face as he thought about what he was planning to do with that ring. "I'm perfect, actually." He answered once he thought about it.

For once everything was going well in his life. It was absolutely perfect.

"So," Kendall began. "What brings you back to the Palm Woods?"

Lucy didn't say anything for a moment as she mulled over her answer while studying Kendall's face intently. It was like she was trying to read his mind by staring at him in such a manner. Kendall wondered for a moment if his face was practically screaming that he was planning to propose to his girlfriend in the very near future. He knew there was a smile practically permanently etched on his face. He wasn't sure there was anything that could remove the smile aside from Jo saying no to his proposal.

"I came back for you." That did it, he thought.

The smile melted from his face as well as all the color as he tried to process what Lucy had just dropped on top of him. She came back for him? Why? He hadn't exactly given her any indication he wanted her to come back! He hadn't spoken to her since she left the Palm Woods! Why would she come back for him?!

"Me?" Kendall was beyond baffled. "You came back for me?"

"I don't want any regrets in my life." Lucy said softly. "I don't want to walk around for the rest of my life wondering what could've happened if we had actually gone out on a date. I don't want to wonder whether or not it would've worked with you. I've been trying to forget about it ever since I left but I just can't. I can't move on until I know what would've happened between us.

If it had been a cartoon Kendall's jaw would've been on the floor but since its real life he settled for it just hanging open. Katie who had been listening to this conversation waved her hand in front of her brother's face. He didn't move, at all.

"He's frozen," Katie said.

"Is he breathing?" Lucy asked. She poked him in the chest.

"WHAT?!" Kendall yelled.

"I think we should go on a date," Lucy said. It came out slightly unsure.

Katie snapped her fingers in front of Kendall's face this time and he didn't move once again. Katie looked at Lucy who was waving her hand in front of Kendall's face.

"He's frozen again," Katie pointed out. She took a quick look around. "He'll get back to you on that. Guys!"

The other three guys were hanging out by the pool and heard Katie yelling for them. They ran into the lobby to find out what Kendall's little sister wants with them. They slowed down as they spotted Lucy standing beside Kendall. Katie quickly took charge.

"He's frozen, I'll explain, grab him, and take him up to the apartment." Katie began walking over to the elevator. The guys picked Kendall up and followed. Once they were inside the elevator. "Oh, and someone call Jo. She's going to want to hear this."

Katie explained everything once Jo joined them in the apartment while the guys tried everything to unfreeze Kendall. Camille who had been with Jo when they guys called her even tried slapping Kendall to wake him up but it didn't work. Kendall just sat frozen on the couch while the guys around him listened to Katie.

"Oh, for crying out loud," Jo said exasperated. She walked over to Kendall. "I'll unfreeze him."

She grabbed him by his shirt and tugged him to her. She planted her lips on his firmly until he melted into her kiss responding enthusiastically. When Jo pulled away Kendall was grinning as Jo took the seat beside him.

"I'm better now," Kendall said. "Thanks."

"Anytime," Jo leaned into Kendall who happily wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"Dude, what are you going to do about Lucy?" Carlos asked.

Kendall shook his head. Jo looked over at him curiously. "Do you ever wonder what would've happened if you had actually gone on that date?"

"What?" Kendall asked shocked.

"I mean, you did ask her out. So, there must have been something you liked about her enough to actually get up the courage to ask her out." Jo explained. "Do you ever wonder what would've happened if you actually had the date? Do you think you would've had a good time? Do you think you would've had a terrible time? Do you think there wouldn't have been a spark? Do you wonder what would've happened? Because if you do, then maybe you should."

Kendall almost fell off of his seat instead he just stared at his known for being jealous girlfriend in complete and utter shock. He had no idea what to say. The guys were making some kind of motions behind Jo but Camille smacked the three of them to get them to stop.

"He's frozen again!" Katie yelled.

Camille slapped him again making Kendall and Jo jumped. "Will you stop doing that?!" Kendall demanded.

"I don't wonder what the date would've been like." Kendall said. "It doesn't matter. I believe in fate. The kind that you not only make happen but the kind that is set in motion by some other kind of force. I wasn't meant to go on that date with Lucy. I firmly believe that. I don't need to actually go on a date with her to know that. I know I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

Kendall chuckled softly. There's no such thing as perfection, Kendall thought. So maybe he should pick the moment closest. He smiled softly. They were surrounded by their friends and family. What more could he ask for?

"I was planning to do this somewhere with candles, outside, under the stars, and alone but I think this moment is better." Kendall slipped off the couch and knelt on the floor. "I want to erase any doubt in your mind that I need to go on a date with Lucy to know my future. I know what my future is. It's with you, forever. Jo Taylor will you do me the honor of being my beautiful bride?"

Kendall slide the box open and held it out to her. Jo started tearing up and they both heard Camille go 'aw' in the background. Jo smiled softly.

"Yes," she whispered softly.

Kendall pulled the ring from its slit and slide it onto her ring finger thinking that one day a wedding band with join it. The thought made his heart do back flips and his the green monster inside him grin. A nice public way of saying 'she's taken, back off!' Kendall let the grin on his face get even wider as he hugged Jo tightly.

"I love you," Jo whispered.

"I love you too," Kendall whispered back.

"Uh, you do know that doesn't solve your Lucy problem though, right?" Carlos pointed out.

"Carlos!" Everyone yelled.

Kendall took a deep breath. He could do this, he thought to himself. Then he thought he really needed to stop having conversations in his head with himself. Kendall nodded and kept walking. He was on his way to find Lucy. Someone had told him she was hanging out down by the pool. Kendall took a deep breath again as he walked through the lobby. He just needed to tell her he was getting married and he doesn't want to go out with her.

"Lucy," Kendall said.

"Kendall," Lucy said in the same tone he used. "I see they managed to unfreeze you."

"Yes," Kendall said. "Look, we need to talk. I'm not entirely sure how to say this but I don't want to go on a date with you. I'm engaged to Jo."

"But you're not married?" Lucy asked.

Kendall shook his head. "No, but-"

"Then you're not tied down." Lucy said. "It's just one date, Kendall. I just want to see what would've happened. Don't you?"

"No, see that's the thing. I've never been surer in my entire life. I want to marry Jo and I've never wondered what could've been between us."

"What?" Lucy folded her arms across her chest. "Are you afraid you'll change your mind about marrying Jo? Afraid you'll see what you're missing?"

Kendall briefly wondered if she was baiting him. He's never really backed away from a challenge and that definitely sounded like a challenge to him. Kendall took a deep breath and tried to ignore the whole challenge.

"Look, Lucy," he began. "You're a great girl. But I'm in love with Jo. You know what would've happened on that date? Nothing! We would've had a great time, laughed all night, enjoyed each other's company, but you know what? It wouldn't have meant anything. When I kissed you I felt something but it's nothing compared to what I feel when I kiss Jo. There's no spark between us. The date would've gone great but we would've learned we're better off friends. Jo and I aren't. I'm sorry, if I hurt your feelings, but I needed to say that."

Lucy shrugged. "It's okay. It was worth a shot. I figured if I waited this long either you would've been single and without Jo so we could try or you'd be married to her already. I'm surprised it took you this long." Lucy smiled as she walked away. When Kendall turned around to watch her leave she winked at him making him roll her eyes.

"Did she wink at you?" Jo asked suddenly appearing behind him.

"Unbelievable," Kendall said. He turned around to find Jo smirking at him. "That's not funny."

"The look on your face was though." Jo teased.

Kendall started moving towards her grinning like he was going to do something very devious. It was a smile that made most people run in terror and Jo grin in anticipation. "Don't make me throw you in the pool again?"

"Oh, I'm so scared!" Jo mocked. She turned on heel and took off running. Kendall shook his head laughing too hard to follow her, the look on her face when she said she was so scared was priceless. It was too funny.

"I'll get you!" Kendall yelled. He clutched his sides laughing so hard they hurt. He wheezed trying to get some air into his lungs so he could talk. "Eventually!"

"Good thing we have forever together!" Jo yelled running away.
