AN: New chapter! This chapter isn't as cohesive of a story/overall theme as some of the others have been, but I still do like how it turned out. The only real note to make about this chapter is that Roger, a character who appears in one scene, was inspired by Brandon Rogers, one of the few YouTubers I actually watch. You by no means need to know it's him to picture the character, but if you already know who Brandon Rogers is, it's a nice easter egg-y kind of bonus.

The other thing I thought I might point out is that this chapter focuses more on the boys than I had initially anticipated. Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing, honestly.

Irrelevant side note: Today is my 23rd birthday. Happy birthday to me!

As always, all reviews are incredibly appreciated!

As the boys walked out of the recording studio, they were surprised to see all four of the girls sitting on one of the couches in the hallway, all huddled over Auden as she read a tween magazine. Raising an eyebrow, Kendall asked "What's with the gossip mag?"

Brooke looked up, as she answered "We're seeing which Big Time Rush boy is our soulmate."

At this, Carlos perked up. "Did the magazine say that we're soulmates?!"

Blonde curls shook as Brooke replied "I got Kendall."

"So did I." Callie replied from the other side of Auden.

"And my answer was Logan." Delia added.

With a shrug, Kendall let out a small "Huh. Weird."

Carlos shook his head "That can't be right!"

With a roll of her eyes, Callie explained "It's just one of those weird teen quizzes, they don't actually mean anything."

"With all due respect, Logan is my soulmate." Delia argued "Platonically, anyway."

"Why are you guys taking this, anyway?" James questioned.

Brooke answered "We get our first teen magazine quiz in next month's issue of this magazine. We just wanted to see what sort of questions they'd be asking us."

"HELL YEAH!" Auden cried, throwing the magazine in her hand onto the floor "I got Carlos. Which means I didn't get Kendall or Logan, like you losers."

"HEY!" Kendall and Logan cried in unison.

James pouted "So no one's my soulmate?"

"Not according to this quiz." Callie responded blandly.

"That's no fair!" the tallest whined.

With a smirk, Auden offered "Hey, in a week you'll be able to take our quiz to see which one of us is your soulmate."

"Really?" Logan questioned, scrunching his nose up "Aren't these aimed at like little girls in a very heteronormative society?"

"Times are changing!" Callie reminded him "And tween magazines are gender neutral."

With a nod, Kendall supplied "She makes a good point."

"Is Gustavo making you give super specific answers again like on the Mary Hayes show?" Logan asked with a worrisome quirk of the eyebrow.

Auden's grin in that moment could truly be described as shiteating. "Gustavo is in New York for conferences. Brought Kelly with him. Apparently another big corporate shakeup is in the works."

"Is Karen leaving?" Carlos asked, wide eyed before admitting "I miss Griffin."

"Who's Griffin?" Callie asked, raising an eyebrow.

With a shake of his head, Kendall replied "That's not important. What is important is figuring out what we should do now that Gustavo's out of town."

"Roque Records will be a hell of a lot easier to break into." Auden agreed.

Delia turned her head to her green-haired companion, eyes narrowing as she stated "We're not breaking in."

"You're not breaking in…"

"Auden, can we not?" Callie asked, her tone authoritative.

"You know what we should do, though?" James' voice had a mischievous undertone to it. "We should have a party."

An eyebrow raised, Delia was not the slightest bit amused as she questioned "Really?"

"No, no, he's got a point." Callie agreed. "Not like, a huge party party or anything. Just the eight of us, like when we shot the Christmas video."

"Our interview is tomorrow, so it can't be tonight." Brooke reminded Callie, before turning to the boys and offering "Tomorrow night? After our magazine interview?"

With a nod, Kendall declared "Sounds like a pretty solid plan to me."

"I'm the only one who thinks this is a bad idea, then?" Delia questioned, entirely in shock.

With a pat of the shorter girl's head, Auden answered "Fraid so, cupcake. You don't have to get your drink on if you don't want to, but the rest of us are gonna have a good time."

With a snort, Kendall asked Auden "What, so you can black out again?"

"I heard someone kept drunk dialing Brooke to make sure I wasn't dead, so if I were you I'd watch the smartass attitude." The green hair girl bit.

"Just no more Never Have I Ever" Logan pleaded "After you and Kendall blacked out somewhere things got…weird."

With a smirk, Auden replied "Logan, please, I am the queen of drinking games. I gotchu."

The tweeny magazine office was a lot more colorful than any of the girls had been expecting. A magenta wall connecting to a lime green one, which connected to a baby blue wall on the other side. A couch was coated in denim, and the girls felt oddly uneasy. "Are we sure this isn't a porn studio?" Auden whispered to the others, and got only a shrug from Brooke for an answer.

Suddenly a very skinny, very tan man with very curly hair all but sashayed over to the group "Welcome, welcome!" his voice rang out almost like a 1940s musical number. "I'm Roger, and it is an absolute pleasure to meet you ladies! Let's take a quick selfie for the twitter feed." The girls all smiled awkwardly as the springy young man snapped a picture. "Well no time for standing around and dillydallying! Let's get you into wardrobe!"

"Wardrobe?" Brooke repeated quizzically.

Hands flopping onto his knees with a wheeze as though the blonde's question had been the funniest joke he'd ever heard, Roger replied "For the photoshoot, of course! Gotta have pictures of you ladies featured for the quiz! And we'll probably release a poster or two in a future issue!"

"I suppose that makes sense…" Callie replied, a little uneasy.

An hour and three Gatorades each later, they sat on the denim covered couch in colors and fashions that didn't exactly line up with their usual looks. Brooke's hair had been braided and was currently sitting over a bright blue t-shirt dress which was paired with white and black striped leggings. Delia sat next to her, her long hair which was almost perpetually let down now up in a high ponytail, while the green flowy top she had on was cut off at the elbows, the soft material contrasting starkly to the leather leggings she had on underneath. Auden's green hair was out and curled and looked very vibrant against the black lace top she was in, which hung over a pair of red jeans. Sitting on the armrest on the far side of the couch was Callie, who felt both a little too warm and a little too cold in a navy blue jacket that was left open overtop of nothing but a grey bandeau until her matching grey pants.

Perched across from the girls on an orange spinning office chair was Roger, who began to explain "So this next part is as easy as feeding a dog who'd missed breakfast! I'm just going to read off some questions, and record each of your answers! Those are gonna be what shows up on your quiz and how your fans will get to know each of you!"

"Seems easy enough." Brooke replied, with a bright smile.

"Lovely! So let's get started, shall we?" he questioned, before flipping open his notebook and reading off "So, where did you meet your current crush?"

Immediately, and in perfect unison, all four girls replied "Roque Records."

Their eyes all went wide as they glanced at each other, before Delia finally offered "I suppose…my answer could just read 'at work' if that would suffice…"

"And I've met a lot of hot people at school, so…." Auden offered.

Callie then spoke up "And you've got to have the basic 'at the club' answer so that could be me."

"And Carlos and I really met at the park one day." Brooke admitted.

With an awkward smile, Roger simply muttered a small "Alright then." Before looking back down to his notes and bringing on the next question "And what is your dream date?"

"Rock concert." Auden replied automatically. "Like Aerosmith, Blink-182, or Lucy Stone."

"A nice dinner," Brooke supplied "Anywhere with good food."

"Something a little quirky, you know?" Callie began "Like mini golf, or to an aquarium."

"I want to be absolutely spoiled." Delia confessed. "I am a princess and deserved to be treated as one."

With a snort, Auden chirped "Straight guys won't do that, sweetie."

"Now now," Roger interrupted "There are no wrong answers here. I want to encourage openness, so long as it's rated PG. Now for the next question – what is your favorite flirting technique?"

Callie raised an eyebrow "Like which move do I like to use, or which move do I like used on me?"

"Remember you gotta keep it PG." Auden chided, lightly nudging Callie with her elbow.

"Either or!" Roger beamed gleefully. "Again, no right or wrong answers here!"

Brooke spoke first "I love it when someone can make me laugh. Having a good sense of humor is important."

Delia fidgeted with the edge of her top, eyes downcast as she cautiously attempted "I'm not entirely sure if this is PG or not…"

"There's no wrong answers, sweetie." Roger promised.

"Oral fixation. Not like, the actual psychological need to have things in your mouth, but when you use it as a flirting technique, like when you make eye contact and lick your lips, or slowly sucking a lollipop-"

Auden couldn't contain herself "DAMN Delia for a virgin you're into some kinky ass shit!"

"I'll just say blowing kisses…" Roger muttered to himself as he jotted some notes down on his notepad.

"Well I like a challenge." Auden replied, hoping to ease some of the new found uneasiness hanging in the air around them. "Best way to get my attention is to be like 'hey Auden I bet you can't eat more peanut butter than me!'"

"Isn't that…your entire relationship with Kendall?" Brooke asked with a slow raise of her eyebrow.

Raising a finger in the air, Auden screeched "Irrelevant!"

"I!" Callie shouted over the noise "Am a fan of light touches. Like touching a shoulder or something. Creating a light intimacy."

Roger nodded, and jotted some notes down quickly. "So next question…"

The rest of the interview had gone more or less as expected. Though Callie and Brooke both had that nagging thought in the back of their minds – who at Roque Records were the current crushes of Auden and Delia? Auden hadn't been romantically interested in anyone since either girl had met her, and Delia's penchant for falling for men who prefer men really narrowed down her pickings.

This thought was still buzzing around in both of their minds as Auden explained the first game. "Okay, so this game is called Most Likely. I wrote down a bunch of high school superlatives, and each turn I'll read one. Then we'll all point to the person we think is the most likely to do that thing. For each person that points at you, you gotta take a shot. So say six of you pointed at me and two of us pointed at Brooke, I would have six shoots and Brooke would have to take two."

"How can we be sure you didn't pick things specifically to get certain people drunk?" Logan asked suspiciously.

With a shrug, Auden confessed "I got em off of Google." As she reached out and plopped a very large bottle of tequila in the middle of the circle – not unlike when they played Never Have I Ever – she instructed "We'll play until the bottle runs out – first up – most likely to be president."

Auden, Delia, and James pointed at Logan; Callie, Carlos and Logan pointed at Kendall, and Brooke and Kendall pointed at Callie. With a small smile, Callie grinned at the two boys who'd also been pointed at as she cried "Bottoms up!"

As the drinks were downed, Auden picked up the next card she'd written "Most Likely to cheer you up."

Auden, Brooke, Kendall and James pointed at Carlos; Callie and Delia pointed at Brooke, and Carlos and Logan pointed to Kendall. As they all downed their shots, Callie mused "Five shots already, it's a good night to be Kendall."

"Most likely to crash on your couch." Auden read out.

While Auden pointed to James, and both Logan and Callie pointed to Kendall; Brooke, Delia, Kendall, Carlos and James all pointed to Auden. "YAS BITCH!" she cried as she lined up her five shots before downing them. "Wow, okay, Delia, you may need to start reading these off, shit. Okay. Most likely to get married first."

All fingers pointed to Brooke, except for her own finger which pointed to James. "Really?" the blonde questioned, as she lined up seven shots.

"I'm more surprised that you think I'm going to get married." James chuckled.

The game continued on like this until they did eventually run out of alcohol. "New game!" Auden cried, taking the now empty tequila bottle and laying it on it's side, still in the center of the room "One that doesn't need alcohol. Spin the bottle."

Immediately, Logan bit his lip in uncertainty "Are you sure this is a good idea, Auden? Some of us are in relationships."

"Yeah, and you're all in the same room." Kendall replied with a roll of his eyes "It won't mean anything."

Brooke turned to her boyfriend and asked "Are you okay with this?"

Carlos shrugged, but smiled "Only if we both agree it won't change anything."

The blonde smiled and nodded, before turning to the girl next to her. "What about you, Callie?"

"I'm down." The brunette replied nonchalantly.

Auden tilted her head to the side as she looked to Logan once again "Looks like you're the only one who's naysaying around here."

With an exasperated sigh Logan conceded "Fine."

"And for being such a good sport," Auden smiled cheekily. "You can go first."

Logan rolled his eyes, but decided to just spin the damn bottle and get it over with. And as the spinning of the bottle stopped, so did his heart, as it landed on the absolute last person in the room that he wanted to kiss.

Delia, it seemed, was unfazed by this turn of fate, as she moved to her knees and leaned closer to him, motioning for him to do the same. With a nervous gulp, his eyes darted to Auden once more "Do I really have to kiss her on the mouth?"

"Yes!" Auden replied, as though it was the most obvious thing in the world. "And a real kiss, too! None of this pecking business!"

Logan looked to Callie in a last ditch attempt, but the brunette only offered "We already all agreed it wouldn't mean anything. Just kiss her and get it over with."

Another nervous gulp, and Logan went for it. It wasn't nearly as offputting as he would've initially thought. She tasted like peppermint, and it seemed as though she had very good oral hygiene. She was also very, very good at it. He wasn't sure why, but he had definitely expected her to be less skilled. In an odd way, it sort of reminded him of kissing Camille. Except he had feelings for Camille. He didn't have feelings for Delia. At least, he didn't think he did. Maybe he did? Maybe his feelings for Callie were just stronger? The new comparison was slowly terrifying him.

As they broke apart and moved to sit back down, Callie questioned "See, that wasn't so bad, was it?"

Logan didn't answer, or even look at his girlfriend. He stayed silent, eyes never leaving Delia as she then spun the bottle, only moving from the redhead to see it had landed on Brooke. The blonde's eyes widened considerably as she admitted "I've…never kissed a girl before."

Auden shrugged. "It's easy. It's just like kissing a boy except their lips are softer and their faces are cleaner."

With a reassuring squeeze of his girlfriend's hand, Carlos promised "I really won't be jealous now."

That seemed to ease the tension a bit, as she leaned forward, kissing Delia softly. It only last ten seconds, but it was long enough for Auden to label it a 'real kiss', allowing Brooke to then take her turn, spinning the bottle.

With a deep breath, she let it spin, silently praying it landed on either her boyfriend or one of the other girls. When it fell on James, her heart dropped to the pit of her stomach. The smile on his face looked incredibly sleezy to the blonde, as her skin felt as though it was crawling as he joked "I won't bite. Unless you want me to."

"Let's just get this over with." Brooke muttered, wanting for it to be over before it began. It was exactly as she was picturing, too, which made her dislike it even more. James was an incredibly sloppy kisser – very wet and kissing much too hard. She really, really, didn't like it. She pulled away after only eight seconds – shorter than her kiss with Delia, even.

He was still smirking as he took the bottle and spun it – though his eyes widened when it landed on Carlos. "Oh…kay…" James exhaled.

With an oblivious grin, Carlos chirped "Now you'll get to kiss both halves of Hollywood's cutest couple!"

James shuddered, but knew he had to man up and do it. After all, Brooke kissed Delia. If he didn't kiss Carlos, that would be a double standard. So he took a breath, and kissed his best friend. Carlos, he noticed, wasn't very good at kissing back. Brooke would have to work on that with him.

Settling back into their spots, Carlos then took his turn. He watched in anticipation, as the bottle finally stopped, pointing towards Brooke. He let out a sigh of relief, and gladly kissed his girlfriend. "GET A ROOM!" James cried.

Callie rolled her eyes "You're just jealous cause they both kissed you but they'd still rather kiss each other. Which only means you are a bad kisser."

"I am not!" James cried, offended by the accusation.

As Brooke and Carlos broke apart, smiling giggling, Auden announced "So, Brooke, since you already had a turn, you now get to choose who gets to spin!"

"Callie?" she offered.

Callie shrugged "Why not?" before grabbing the bottle and giving it a good toss. She watched it go round and round until it landed on Kendall. With a quick inhale, she glanced at her boyfriend "Are you going to be okay with this?"

"Hmm? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." His voice was dazed and distant, and if Callie hadn't taken so many shots in the game before, she might have noticed how distracted Logan was, or that his eyes were still on Delia.

But, she was under the influence, and she didn't notice, and she got on her knees, kneeled forward and laid a wet one on Kendall, who was very enthusiastic in reciprocating. In fact, he definitely slipped her the tongue, which she took as her cue to pull away. With a sheepish grin, Kendall did offer her a genuine "sorry."

With a warm smile, Callie promised "It's okay." Before Kendall took his turn in spinning the bottle, having it land on Auden.

The greenhaired woman let out a dejected sigh of "of course" before getting onto her knees, beckoning Kendall over while blandly calling "Come 'mere, lover boy."

Kendall was more than happy to lean right into this kiss, his hand pressed firmly against the small of Auden's back to prevent her from falling back to far, while his other hand reached to comb through her hair.

Delia glanced at James briefly, commenting "They're the ones who need to get a room."

They continued to tangle in further into each other for the better part of 90 seconds before Auden eventually pulled away, patting Kendall on the top of the head as she stated "Well that's enough of that."

With a slight pout, Kendall returned to his seat, and Auden gave the bottle one final spin, sighing as it landed on Logan – who was still lost in his own head, attempting to sort out the whole Delia situation. "Well, better than nothing." Auden shrugged, before roughly grabbing Logan by the collar. Logan was only half there, which Auden definitely noticed. Breaking the kiss, she commented "Did you take a sleeping pill or something? That was hella drowsy bro."

Logan simply nodded, before voicing. "Sleep…sleep would be good."

Getting up the next morning wasn't as much of a task as Logan had assumed that it would be. Even if it was quarter to 11. The other three boys were already up, Kendall flipping through TV channels at random, and James and Carlos both eating some toast. "Morning sleeping beauty." Kendall smirked. "How's the old noodle today?"

"Not as bad as I thought." Logan admitted. "I don't know if it was all the sleep, or what, but I'm not even really hungover."

Still smirking Kendall asked "Really? Cause you seemed really out of it last night."

"It…may or may not have been the alcohol causing that effect." Logan admitted – though the confession itself was still very, very vague.

Mouth full of toast, Carlos questioned "Dude, what are you talking about?"

With a sigh, Logan asked "Do you think…it's possible…that Delia might have a crush on me?"

"Of course." Kendall smiled smugly "She thinks you're the cute one."

With a sigh and a shake of his head, Logan argued "I'm being serious. I want to know if this is all in my head or what."

"She did seem awful defensive about you being her real tween magazine soul mate…." Carlos offered.

Kendall then added "And she was weirdly defensive about being just friends on that talk show, too."

"Why does it matter, anyway?" James asked, mouth full of toast "Aren't you dating Callie?"

Logan sighed "Yeah, yeah, I am. And my feelings for Callie are stronger, but…"

"HOLD THE PHONE!" Kendall cried, giving his friend his full attention now, hands each resting firmly on Logan's shoulders "Do you have feelings for Delia?"

"I don't know!" Logan cried "I didn't! But then we kissed! And maybe I do!"

"But you're dating Callie." James reiterated.

Logan let out a frustrated sigh "Yes, James, I know that. And like I said, my feelings for Callie are stronger than…whatever that was, with Delia. But when I kiss Callie, it's all new and different. And it's a good different! But when I kissed Delia…it was like I was kissing Camille again."

"Maybe Delia's just a good kisser?" Carlos tried.

"But what if that's not it?" Logan asked "I was in love with Camille…until…you know…" his friends all nodded, all remembering the split very well. "What if that's what I felt kissing Delia? What if that tween magazine was right?"

With a nod, Kendall then spoke "Well, it seems to me like there's only one thing to do."

"Talk to Delia and Callie and try to logically discuss what happened and what my feelings are?" Logan tried.

"Nope!" Kendall cried. "Taking the girl's tween magazine quiz when it comes out next week to see if you and Delia really are soulmates."

"So what am I supposed to do until then?" Logan asked, his voice dejected.

Kendall sighed, before offering "Act like it never happened. If it really is Delia you're meant to be with, you owe Callie to at least pretend like it was her until you know for sure."

"Are you sure it wasn't just the tequila shots?" James tried "I know alcohol has made me almost sleep with some girls who weren't even 8s."

"If it was the alcohol, then why did I feel it when I kissed Auden, hmm?" Logan bit back

Raising his hands up in defense, James yelped "Okay! Just trying to help!"

And for the next four days, Logan had, somehow, managed to act like nothing had changed. All he had to do was not hang out with Delia alone. And sure, blowing her off every time she asked was definitely starting to get to her, and yes, he could definitely tell that it was, but this was what was best for everyone!

Still, by day three, he was avoiding her all together. Less now due to potential romantic feelings, and due more to a horrible sense of guilt. So of course he was shocked when, at 4:30PM on day four, Delia, alongside Callie, Brooke, and Auden, were waiting for him, and the rest of Big Time Rush, as soon as they left the recording booth. "What's with the welcoming committee?" Kendall asked.

Brooke beamed, thrusting forward the new copy of that same tweeny magazine "We thought you might like to be the first to see which member of ABCD is your soulmate."

With excited, grabby hands, Carlos all but ripped the magazine from his girlfriend's hands, flipped the page to the quiz, and excitedly murmured the questions under his breath, before looking up, confessing "I got Callie."

"Me next! Me next!" James cried, taking it from the shortest member. After a few moments, he looked up at the girls with a puzzled expression. "Auden."

Kendall completed it next, and his reaction was perhaps the most smug as he revealed "Auden."

With a deep breath, Logan took it out of Kendall's hands, reading over every question carefully to determine he was fully understanding what he was being asked and what his options were. After taking much too long, he looked up, first to Kendall, then back to the girls. He inhaled slowly, before a light smile traced his lips "Brooke."

"See?" Kendall questioned "I told you it was all nonsense."

"Yeah." Logan smiled, a little too widely for the girl's understanding "I guess it was."

"Wait," Delia paused, before crying "None of you were compatible with me? Logan isn't my soulmate? I have no BTR soulmate? The other quiz LIED?"

"Finally! James cried, tilting his head back dramatically "Someone who understands my pain! Even if it was from a whole week ago!"
