A/N: So people...aren't you guys glad I could finally update on a Friday? Lol. So! In order to not waste any of you guys' precios time here are some very special thank you's to the awesomest people in the whole wide world (a.k.a my reviewers)

SHOUTS OUT!

-SuperNeos2: I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter and I trust you'll enjoy the ones to come as well. Mia will have a very important part soon so be ready for that...well, James wasn't the only one with rather inappropriate comments, Carlos had his fair share in them too, to be fair. Lol. As it is, thanks for reviewing and enjoy the chapter!

-November 2 1990: I'm glad you liked last chapter, hopefully you'll like this one as well...thanks for reviewing!

-CastieCampbell: Yes, indeed they are. Thank you for reviewing and enjoy the chapter.

-OuToFmYmInDbAcKiN5MiNuTeS: First off, let me start by what an awesome job you did on the last "Aftermath" update...I cannot WAIT for more. Secondly, I'm glad you liked Mia, she'll be making more appearances soon...Frankie and Jo per say won't cause any intentional drama for Kames, however, they might unintentionally cause some tension. Kendall...is on the limbo between James and Jo, I agree. He clearly loves James but it seems he cannot fully let go of what he once had with Jo. We'll see how everything turns out. Thanks for reviewing and enjoy the chapter!

-ChocoChocoBloo: Well...this next part isn't smut if that's what you meant. There'll be some smut coming soon, trust me, it's just a couple of chapters away I expect, we'll see about it. Urgh, I hear you about exams, good luck with them! As it is, I hope you enjoy this chapter and thanks for reviewing!

-EagleAce11: Oh I love Kames as well, don't worry. We'll see about the wedding, though, there's LOADS of drama to come! To be fair, there's also some fluff coming up so no worries...thanks for reviewing and enjoy the chapter.

-LoveSparkle: Yes, indeed he is. And yes, indeed SHE is, lol. Hope you enjoy this chapter and thanks for reviewing!

-Cashmeere: I'm glad you enjoyed last chapter and you'll see more of Mia later on, promise. I'm glad you enjoyed the guys' playful banter with each other and I trust you'll like this chapter as well. Thanks for reviewing!

-Anime-tv-manga-books: Lol. This isn't actual smut, I'm warning you, it just has slight mentions of what happened. As it is, do not despair, there'll be some hot smut coming up pretty soon, just need to wrap up and introduce certain things...as it is, I hope you'll still enjoy this chapter and thanks for reviewing!

Ch.26: All About New Relationships

(The Next Morning...)

"Ow…did you guys really have to go all rough on me last night!" Carlos asked, annoyed, for the millionth time the next morning.

"Hey, you were totally asking for it," Kendall said absent-mindedly as he played with his iPad while waiting for James to finish combing his hair so they could all head to the set.

"I can't even get my clothes on without feeling any pain!" Carlos hissed as burning, searing pain flashed across his back while he attempted to pull on his pants.

"Aw, 'Los, maybe you should think about this next time, and keep your little, pretty, slutty mouth shut," James said as he came out of the bathroom.

"I know I deserved to be punished for what I said…" Carlos said "But were the two of you inside me at the same time really necessary?"

"Oh, it was totally necessary," Kendall said before smirking "Besides, don't act like you didn't like it…we didn't hear any complaints from you last night, you whore…"

"That's because you gagged me!" Carlos complained.

"You got hard," James said, nonchalantly "And you had an orgasm. That must've meant you liked it, at least a little,"

"Alright maybe I did…a little," Carlos allowed grudgingly "But still!"

"Just don't repeat your mistake Carlitos, and we'll never do something like that again," Kendall said "Now hurry and get dressed or James and I are leaving without you and telling Elena you were too lazy to get out of bed today…"

"You might want to help me since you two are the cause of my discomfort," Carlos grumbled.

"Sorry buddy, no can do, Kendall and I don't dress other people, we undress them…" James said with a smirk, making Kendall laugh.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever, you know what? Fine! Tell Elena I'm too lazy to go to work today…I'm feeling sick as it is…" Carlos grumbled before getting into bed again, attempting to forget the burning, stinging sensation that ran down his backside and stomach.

Kendall and James stopped smiling and looked concernedly at their friend.

"Maybe we DID get a bit carried away," Kendall said worriedly "C'mon Carlos, we'll help you up…"

He and James each took one of Carlos' hands and pulled him up before helping him put on his shirt and loose pants, jeans being way too tight and uncomfortable for him.

Once they were finished helping him get ready Carlos grinned.

"Ha, you guys totally fell for it and I got you to help me," he said smugly.

James and Kendall's mouths dropped open in disbelief.

"You mean you were faking this whole time?" James asked incredulously.

"About being sore from last night? No. About being TOO sore to go to work…heck yeah, don't get me wrong guys, you two are A LOT to take in…but I'm also tough to break…" Carlos said.

"Ass," Kendall grumbled, hitting Carlos in the back of the head.

Carlos smirked, not minding the pain from the blow.

"You know you love it," he told Kendall before he limped outside, following the other two.

They went down to the Lobby to grab some breakfast before heading to the set and met with Logan.

"Carlos…you're alive," Logan commented, smiling relieved at his boyfriend who only quirked an eyebrow at him.

"Yeah, no thanks to you," he said a bit reproachfully at Logan "You abandoned me last night!"

"Sorry…" Logan said apologetically "But, be honest, do you really think I could've overpowered both James and Kendall?"

"Guess you have a point," Carlos admitted grudgingly while Kendall and James only smirked smugly.

"You're limping," Logan noted, watching as Carlos struggled to walk normally "Does it hurt really bad?"

"Don't worry Logie, nothing I can't handle…" Carlos mumbled.

Logan glared at James and Kendall.

"You could've gone easier on him!" he said, annoyed at the pair.

"Logan, it's done and the boy says he can take it…why are you the one complaining?" James asked.

"'Cause I'm the guy whose boyfriend you two practically raped last night!" Logan exclaimed.

"Whoa…rape is a strong, strong word man; you don't want to use it…" James said "Carlos loved every second of it, didn't you? It's only the aftermath which is uncomfortable…"

"He's right…" Carlos told Logan "Now c'mon, let's hurry up, they all need us on-set…"

The guys gobbled down their breakfast and headed towards the set.

(At the set...)

"Alright boys, so, we've had a little change of plans," Elena told them, smiling apologetically at them as soon as she saw them.

"How so?" Kendall asked, growing concerned.

"Well…originally we'd meant paperwork and you guys' parents and all those every-day things to be the ones preventing you guys James, Carlos, and Logan from joining Kendall in New Town High…" Elena said slowly.

The guys all nodded, they'd all been aware of that.

"Well…along with our screenwriters we've sort of…added another plot twist. James, you have new lines, can I trust you to learn them by tomorrow? You guys can have the rest of the day off in that case…" Elena said.

"Um…sure," James said "What's going on?"

Suddenly, a slender curly-haired, blonde and hazel-eyed girl approached them. Despite the fact that all of them were gay (or bisexual in James and Kendall's cases) they all had to admit she was pretty attractive.

"Guys, this is Natasha Rivera" Elena said "She's-uh-going to be in the movie too…and the reason you guys can't leave Europe…"

"How so?" Logan asked.

Elena bit her lip and seemed nervous.

"Read your script," she told James simply.

James read over the lines and his eyes widened.

"I can't do this!" he exclaimed.

"What? What's wrong Jamie?" Kendall asked worriedly, Logan and Carlos also seemed worried.

"She's my girlfriend!" James exclaimed looking at Natasha "She's my girlfriend AND she's pregnant with my baby? That's why I can't go with you?"

Kendall's eyes widened and he snatched James' lines from him.

"Elena this is going too far…" he said sternly "You expect James to act out a sex scene? AND to have to kiss-her-while he's not even a main character?"

"Here's the catch…" Elena said before sighing and looking up at them "He's not a main character in this movie…but he WILL be in the series. The studio has seen what we've recorded of the movie so far and they love BTR's appearance on it…they're offering all of you guys a contract for next season… that's IF James agrees to this."

James bit his lip and appeared troubled.

"But-I can't…" he said "Kendall…"

"I'll be fine," Kendall said immediately "If this is our only way of being on the show…then fine. So be it…"

"I'm really sorry too," Natasha said, looking apologetically at Kendall "I know he's your boyfriend and all…I'm sorry…"

"Don't worry about it," Kendall said, offering her a weak smile "It's not your fault either…"

"Okay fine, I'll do it," James agreed grudgingly "I'll have the lines memorized by tomorrow…"

"You guys' conversation with Kendall changes too so…here are your new lines, have them memorized by tomorrow," Elena said, handing each boy a new copy of the script "Off you go now; you have the rest of the day off…"

The guys offered her half-hearted smiles and headed towards the cafeteria area on the set since their driver wouldn't be back 'till the end of the day to take them back to their hotel.

At the cafeteria...

To their surprise...they came across Jo and Frankie who were kissing.

However, before they reached them the two pulled away rather quickly and blushed, avoiding to look at one another.

Kendall tried very hard to ignore the jealousy that was eating at him, urging him to punch the living daylights out of Frankie. However, he took a few deep calming breaths instead and listened to what they were saying.

"I'm sorry," they heard Jo tell him "We-we got carried away and…I'm sorry,"

"Yeah, me too," Frankie said, blushing as well "I'm sorry, it shouldn't have gone that far…"

"Hey guys!" Carlos called, alerting them of their presence. This only made Jo and Frankie blush harder.

"H-hey guys," Jo said after a while of uncomfortable silence "W-what are you doing here? Shouldn't you guys be filming your scene right now?"

"There's been a change of plans," James said "Here, have a look, Elena told me to give you this anyways,"

Jo took the script James handed out to her and quickly read over it.

"Whoa," she said "And I thought my scenes with Kendall were uncomfortable…they expect you to act out all this?"

"Yep," James said glumly "At least it's no heavy scene tomorrow…I'll just be telling the guys I'm a soon-to-be father and therefore can't leave Paris to attend New Town High…"

"And you guys will be video-chatting," Jo noted while reading further on "Seeing as Marco's supposed to ALREADY be in Rome for this one…"

"Yep," Logan said "And Carlos and I are supposed to say we can't go either because we have to stay and help James-ahem- Andrew with his girlfriend and kid…"

"That's one hell of a plot twist," Jo commented.

"That's 'cause the guys are joining us with the rest of the New Town High for next season…" Kendall said "So, apparently they have to have more of a story-line…"

"That makes no sense," Jo said "How can they be a part of New Town High if our show regularly takes place in the U.S and you guys are supposed to be in Europe?"

"Elena said the first couple of episodes we'll be filming as if we're video-chatting," Carlos said "And then some of the show's twists will include us coming here along with James' baby and girlfriend…"

"Do you even know how to hold a baby?"Jo asked James questioningly.

The brunette shook his head.

"I'm telling you, this is all very awkward for me…" he said.

"No kidding," Frankie said "It took me a while to get the hang of things when I was first learning to take care of Mia…"

"Well…it won't be for real," James said.

"But you'll have to make it look real…" Jo said "Which means…"

"You'll have to practice," Frankie completed Jo's sentence for her, making her blush.

"So…does this mean you two are-dating?" Kendall asked, eyebrows raised at the pair.

"I- uh-I don't know…" Frankie said awkwardly while staring at Jo "Jo? Are we dating or not?"

"I-uh-I guess…" Jo said before breaking into a nervous smile "I wouldn't mind being your girlfriend at all…"

Frankie smiled tentatively at her.

"Then…I guess yes," he told Kendall.

"That's great," Kendall said smiling. Inside, he was feeling very jealous of Frankie, but he knew it was better this way for Jo. It was time for them to start letting go of one another, no matter how much it hurt them both...

"Hey then, since, uh, we're dating and all…Jo, would you like to go out with me tonight, there's a cute little restaurant not far from here I'd like to try out with you…" Frankie said.

"Sure…" Jo said "But who will watch Mia while we're gone?"

Frankie looked at James and Kendall imploringly.

"Would you guys mind?" he asked them "Besides, it'd be a great way for James to start practicing his father skills…for the movie," he added quickly when Carlos and Logan snickered and James and Kendall winced.

"I…guess," James agreed hesitantly "Fine, we'll do it, but don't come home too late…"

"Oh, we won't," Jo assured them "Thanks a million guys!"

"We'll help you guys," Carlos offered, ignoring Logan's frantic 'no' gestures "She'll be staying in our shared room after all…"

"Thanks Carlos," Kendall said gratefully "I would've thought you'd be the last one to offer us help today…"

"What can I say?" Carlos said with a laugh "I'm a very forgiving guy,"

"And you drag your unwilling boyfriend into messes," Logan grumbled.

"C'mon, Logie, it'll be fun!" Carlos exclaimed.

The other three just offered him brave smiles, hoping against all hope that what Carlos had just said was true…

A/N: Ta-da! So...Frankie and Jo are dating! Yay for them! Is Kendall REALLY okay with it, however? Plus, now he'll have to watch his boyfriend perform a sexy scene with a really hot actress...hmm...are the warning bells going off in you guys' minds yet? AND, let's not forget we'll get some more Mia next chapter!

As always, please leave a review,

I LOVE REVIEWS! THEY'RE THE AIR I BREATHE! MY MUSE CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT THEM!

See you all next Friday, Saturday tops okay?

Cheers,
