Big Time Rush:
Halloween
It was Halloween time at the Palm Woods again and everyone was getting ready for Big Time Rush's Haunted House at Rocque Records. The guys had promised to scare everyone silly with their haunted house. The guys set it up so that in order to get to the party you have to go through the haunted house they had put together. It took a lot of arm twisting with Gustavo in order to get him to let them do it but he finally agreed when the guys promised to let the executives in as well and perform a new song from their third album.
Kendall kept expecting for something to go horribly wrong in the middle of everything but so far nothing had. Carlos came running into the apartment looking absolutely terrified. The three guys were sitting on the couch with Katie getting ready for the party when Carlos just took one look at them before running into the bathroom. He locked the door behind him and yelled something that none of them understand. Apparently Kendall had thought too soon, something was about to go horribly wrong.
"I'm not here!" Carlos said. "Don't let her kill me!"
Kendall looked at the other three guys who just shrugged in response they didn't have a clue either. Kendall turned to his baby sister with a raised eyebrow and folded his arms over his chest. Katie held up his hands like she was innocent.
"Don't look at me. I haven't talk to Carlos since breakfast when you were all sitting here." Katie shrugged. "His terror has nothing to do with me."
Katie left the living room while the other three guys went over to the bathroom door. Kendall was the first to speak.
"Uh, Carlos why have you locked and I'm assuming barricaded yourself in the bathroom?" He said trying to twist the locked knob.
"She's going to get me!" Carlos yelled.
"Who?" Logan asked.
"The ghost," Carlos answered in a bare audible whisper.
"There's no such thing as ghosts!" The three guys said. They rolled their eyes and walked away from the bathroom door. Carlos was losing it and he wasn't in any real danger so they had nothing to worry about. Carlos yanked open the door and came running outside. He kept looking around as though he would be attacked at any moment.
"Why are you so freaked?" Kendall asked. He put a hand on Carlos' shoulder. "Didn't we prove once and for all there is no such thing as ghosts? It's probably just a trick of some kind."
"Then how do you explain that?" Carlos motioned to the room. There was a thick fog rolling in. Logan looked over at the windows but they were shut and locked. The sun was still shining brightly outside and no one outside seemed to be seeing fog out there. Logan walked over to the vents but they weren't on either and the fog didn't seem to be coming through there at all.
"It's a trick," Logan said. But he still seemed somewhat unsure. James walked over to Kendall and Carlos. Carlos was still having a mild panic attack; he didn't seem to know what to do. Kendall took charge immediately.
"Alright, everyone just calm down." Kendall said. "This has to be some kind of trick, Carlos tell us what's going on."
"Well, I was hanging out down in the lobby and I was talking to Jo who told me about this creepy woman who was murdered in her sleep by her husband because he wanted to be with someone else. She said it happened on All Hallows Eve. On every Halloween she came back as a ghost and took her husband with her for all eternity. Now every Halloween she goes looking for another victim to keep with her." Carlos took a deep breath. He scanned the room like this ghost might burst through at any moment. "I told Jo that it was a crazy story and I didn't believe a word. She told me not to say that, the last person in her hometown where this happened who said that died and the cause of death was never found. She said that that's how she picks her victims anyone who doesn't believe is next.
"I scoffed but on my way up here I saw fog and I swore I heard a guy screaming. I think she's after me. I'm going to be next!" Carlos had grabbed Kendall's shirt in his fists. "I don't want to die! I haven't seen everything yet! I haven't had a real girlfriend yet man!"
"You're going to be fine." Kendall said removing Carlos' fist from his shirt. Kendall shook his head with a small smirk. "Don't you see? It's just Jo; she's probably messing with you. Come on let's go talk to her. We'll all go."
The four guys went up to Jo's apartment and knocked on her door. Jo opened the door with a warm and cheery smile. "Hey, guys! What's up?"
"Jo, could you please tell Carlos you were messing with him before with that story and that it's not true? Along with that it was you behind the fog." Kendall said softly.
"Carlos it's just a creepy old Halloween story from back home. But I wasn't the one doing the fog, I've been here since the last time I saw Carlos. You can ask my dad. I didn't use any fog." Jo shrugged.
"Then who was behind the fog in our apartment?" Logan asked suddenly alarmed.
"There was fog in your apartment?" Jo asked.
Carlos grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her gently. "Is that bad? Am I going to die? I don't want to die! I believe the ghost exists! Please don't let her take me!"
"Me either!" Logan and James insisted. Jo looked over at Kendall helplessly and he pulled Carlos off of his girlfriend. He shook his head at his friends. They had all fallen to the knees with their hands clasped together begging Jo to help them.
"Guys, the fog is probably explainable by something other than a ghost!" Kendall exclaimed. "It's just a spooky story. The ghost does not exist, she is not coming after any of us, and we really need to let it go. Jo just told you a scary story don't lose your heads. Now I'm going to enjoy the rest of my Halloween and get ready for the party tonight." Kendall turned to Jo with a smile. "I'll see you later tonight, milady."
"Absolutely," Jo agreed. Kendall gave her a goodbye kiss before he left his three friends in the hallway. "Guys, it's just a story. Don't worry about it. I was teasing you Carlos. Enjoy your Halloween nothing is going to happen."
"Kendall!" James yelled as the three of them came walking into their apartment an hour later. "We've got the snacks for the party, man. Have you been up here the whole time?"
Kendall didn't respond or move or blink. James, Logan, and Carlos took one look at each other before running over to Kendall. They nudged him hoping to elicit some type of response from him but they got absolutely nothing, less than nothing actually. His eyes were open as he lay motionless on the couch. Carlos shoved Kendall trying to get something out of him because he thought Kendall was faking but nothing all it did was knock Kendall off the couch. He landed on the floor with a thud. He didn't blink or flinch. Carlos started yelling and panicking while Logan tried to get him to stop. James closed Kendall's eyes and lifted his arm which flopped lifelessly back to the floor.
"What are we going to do?!" James said suddenly. "Our best friend is dead."
"It was the ghost!" Carlos said. "She killed him because he didn't believe."
"That's ridiculous!" Logan said. "There is no such thing as ghosts there has to be another solution."
"FOG!" James yelled. "She's coming for you next!"
The fog that had disappeared earlier came back but this time it was twice as thick. The three guys yelled before they grabbed Kendall's body from the floor and bolted from their apartment like they were on fire. They didn't bother stopping to use the elevator. James had started to go there but Logan said they'd be in a little box held up with a wire. With a ghost after them did that seem like the safest place? Instead they took the stairs to the third floor where they started pounding on Jo's door. Jo opened the door looking concerned and even more so when she saw her boyfriend.
"What happened?" Jo asked as they pushed inside. Camille was sitting on the couch as they came storming in but she moved when they placed Kendall on it. "What's wrong with Kendall?" Jo asked.
"He's dead," Logan said in rush.
"We're next!" Carlos yelled.
"I'm too pretty to die!" James said.
Jo who was trying to process the news of her boyfriend's death went over to Kendall's body. She gently pushed the hair out of his face.
"The ghost you told us about is after us!" Carlos said to Jo.
"Guys I told you it's just a story!" Jo said.
"How do you explain Kendall then or the fog?!" James said impatiently. "Kendall's dead we're next. Don't you think now would be a good time to start believing in this story you told Carlos?! What are we going to do?!"
Jo had Kendall's head in her lap and she was fighting hard to stay in control of her emotions. Jo smirked at the three guys.
"I can help." Jo said softly.
"How?" Logan asked.
"We'll do anything!" Carlos declared.
"Almost anything," James clarified.
"You can start with an apology for saying girls can't terrify guys." Jo said folding her arms over her chest. "Right?"
"BOO!" Kendall yelled suddenly sitting up.
The other three guys nearly jumped out of their skin and it didn't help when Katie popped up from behind Jo's couch with another 'boo.'
"You claimed girls can't come up with anything that could scare you guys. So I enlisted their help to terrify you three." Jo pointed to Camille, Katie, and Kendall. "Kendall was in on it the whole time. Camille was responsible for the scream and the fog as Carlos was heading back to the apartment. Katie never lied when she said she wasn't responsible because at that point she wasn't. But she was for the fog in your apartment both times. Just before when Kendall was alive and after when he was 'dead.' I didn't even lie when I said I wasn't responsible for the fog in your room because that was all Katie. That was a nice touch by the way."
"Thanks," Katie high fived Jo. "Still think guys can't be scared by girls?"
The three guys shook their head and apologized to Jo, Camille, and Katie. Though they couldn't help but tease Kendall by saying it was no wonder Kendall loved Jo so much. She was just as evil and devious as he is.
"Well, this Halloween has been very fun." Jo said. She was leaning against Kendall's chest at the party later that night. They were dressed as Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala from Star Wars a favorite movie between the two of them.
"So, I just have one question about that story you told the guys." Kendall said. "Was that at all real?"
"No, I made it up." Jo smiled devilishly.
"Evil girl," Kendall said. "The guys are right. It's one of the things I love most about you."
"Same," Jo agreed.
Same evil minds, devious thinking, and resourcefulness Jo and Kendall are a match made in Halloween Heaven.
