Chapter 2: Fire Breathing Dragons of Doom
PALMWOODS LOBBY
The girls couldn't believe they were here. In LA! All of their dreams were coming true. And the best part is, they were going to spend it with their best friends. Maggie was practically bouncing of the walls as they stepped up to the front desk.
"Can I help you?" a fat, balding man asked Maggie disgruntitdly. Mr. Bitters the name tag read.
"Yes, hi. My name is Maggie Diamond, Gustavo Roque was supposed to rent us an apartment here." She replied as nicely as she could to this bitter man. (pun intended)
"Oh, here it is. Apartment 2K. Mrs. Knight will be your parental guardian while you are here?" he asked Maggie. As every child resident needed adult supervision while staying at the palm woods.
"Yes sir." Maggie said. A large plastic smile still plastered on her face. Mr. Bitters threw the keys at her, but she caught them with no problem.
"I can't believe we are actually going to do this!" Jamie said as Maggie rejoined the girls.
"It's unbelievable." Isabella replied. Katie had yet to comment. She just stared idly at the elevators…. Or the teenage boy near the elevators.
"Ga,, ga,, guys. Car.. car..Carlos!" she whispered. All of the girls snapped their heads to the elevators. "Don't look!" Katie cried.
"You know what? Who cares about the boys! So, they didn't call us, who gives a flying frick? I sure as hell don't. Kendall and James can just shove it up their butts. Because I DON'T CARE!" she yelled causing everyone in the lobby to stare at her. Which included Carlos.
"No way!" he yelped. Then proceeded to run into the closest elevator.
APARTMENT 2J
Kendall sat on the sofa with Jo on his lap. He couldn't be any happier. He had his three best friends around him. (Well, two right now, but Carlos just ran to get some food.) And his girl in his arms. Nothing could rock him off cloud nine. The door slammed shut.
"Um Guys. We're in trouble." Carlos gasped as he ran into the room.
"Why? What's going on?" James asked, not looking up from his Call of Duty.
"I just saw Maggie in the lobby." Carlos replied still trying to catch his breath. Crap, Kendall thought. He had totally forgotten about Maggie while he was here in LA. But surely it couldn't have been her. I mean, James would've know. She is after all his twin sister. Logan must have been thinking the same thing for he replied.
"Are you positive it was her?" There was no reason to panic. Maggie surely wasn't here.
"Who is Maggie?" Jo asked. But we all shushed her waiting for a reply from Carlos.
"Who else would have a Dragons sweatshirt, with the name Diamond on the back?" He asked.
"Well, I did give one of my few to Rachel in apartment 5N on our last date." James added. I exhaled the breath I hadn't realized I had been holding.
"With the number 37?" Carlos asked. Crap. She was here! And she was probably pissed at me.
"Who is Maggie?" Jo asked again.
"My little sister, and one of our best friends. Unfortunately none of us bothered to call her while we have been here. So she is probably pissed at of her mind, and she has a wee bit of a temper." James said.
"Yes, if you call smashing the Red Bend's Center Forwards face in for tripping Kendall, a wee bit of an anger issue. She is like a fire breathing dragon of doom," Logan said.
"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK" came from the door.
"Hey, Jimmy! Open up!" Yelled a voice from the hallway. James took a deep breath and prepared himself for the wrath of his little sister. It wasn't that he didn't love her, all of the guys did. It was just that they finally felt bad for ignoring her for the past 9 months.
"Hey Magpie? How is life?" all of the boys sighed as Maggie had seemed to calm down in the time that they had been gone.
"Good. Really Good. I actually have a surprise for all of you, just give me a second. And where are the others?" She asked James, as they were still in the hallway, and she could not see the boys.
James led her into the living room, and Kendall had to take a second to catch his breath. Before him was no longer the awkwardly tall younger sister of James, and his right hand man on the ice. But a tall, curvy, beautiful woman. She had her chocolate curls head back in a pony tail and was wearing denim shorts that made her legs look like they went on for miles.
"Hey guys!" Maggie cheered as she saw all of the boys. Logan and Carlos ran up to give her a hug. Kendall still had Jo on his lap.
"Hi, I'm Maggie. James's sister." Maggie said, reaching out to shake Jo's hand.
"I'm Jo, Kendall's girlfriend." Jo replied in a way seemed nice enough. But to a girl, it was catty, and possessive, and Maggie automatically wrote her off as a bitch.
"I see that." Maggie said stiffly. James knew about Maggie's crush on Kendall and decided to interfere before things turned ugly.
"So… Magpie, what is this amazing surprise you have for us?" James asked. Maggie was still glaring at Jo, and Jo still seemed to be returning these looks while perched on Kendall's lap. Maggie finally broke the stare to smile at her brother.
"Oh right! Yes, well. Me and some of my friends were offered a recording deal, in LA with Gustavo Roque!" she announced.
'Wait! Kelly went to find you?" Kendall asked shocked. It had merely been a suggestion. Kendall had only heard Maggie sing in her early morning workouts on Wednesdays with Carol, the figure skating coach.
"Yeah! So now we are here in Los Angeles Baby!" Maggie yelled.
'Wait, what friends are we talking about here?" Carlos asked. Already scared for the answer.
"Oh you know, the obvious." She replied.
"Jamie Bennett." Logan said blushing. Maggie nodded.
"Isabella Fuentez" James added looking down.
"Bingo" Maggie replied
"And lastly would be, Katie Daddario." Carlos said, collapsing on the couch.
"Yes" Maggie replied.
The boys sighed. The girls that had been their best friends. The girls, who they thought would hold their futures back in Minnesota, were now here in LA. And they finally felt bad for thinking they could avoid them, without it coming to bite them in the but.
Because Logan was right. Even though they were on the Dragons Hockey team. The girls were fire-breathing dragons of doom.
A/N! Thank you to everyone who reviewed. I am sorry that this is kind of filler for the next chapter.

Five reviews to get the next chapter, next Sunday, if not it will wait another week! Thanks again! And feel free to review.
