Carlos's POV

Carlos and Logan chatting it up with some fans that had arrived early. James and Kendork were still in their dressing room that the boys shared. James was still obsessing endlessly over his hair, while Kendall was desperately searching for his favorite pair of blue vans.

The very same pair that Carlos had hidden. In a trash can. He smiled just thinking about it. Kendork would get his shoes back, of course, but Carlos was going to make him sweat it out just a little bit longer. Besides it was always hilarious playing pranks on the other guys, especially Kendall, who always took things way, way too seriously. That dweeb!

" Carlos! Snap out of it! This very beautiful girl is trying to talk to you!" Logan snapped, practically shouting in my ear, all the while still grinning at the girl.

Reluctantly, Carlos " snapped out of it " as Logan would say, but he still smiled to himself, inside.

" Well, hello madam, how may I assist you? " Carlos said while bowing and smiling goofily. This girl was indeed very beautiful. She had long brown hair, dark eyes, and was wearing a light blue, sparkly tank top, and a long white skirt. Wow!

She laughed and shook her head, causing her long brown hair to go flying. She said," Why hello there kind sir, my name is Taylor, and my friend, Ally and I would just love it if we could have your autograph." She was still laughing as she said this.

" Well, I can't actually just up and let you have my autograph, you know, but what I can do for you, you see is I can give you a copy of my autograph, so that you can actually keep it and I won't have to take it back the next time I need to sign something." He said trying and failing epically to hold in his smile.

It was then that he noticed the small girl standing slightly behind her. She was absolutely stunning! She was short, had short fluffy blond hair, piercing green eyes, and was wearing a small lacey sweater, with a dark blue tank top underneath, and a pair of sparkly dark blue jeans with a pair of black converse. She looke absolutely amazing, and from the look on her face, he was willing to bet that she had no idea how great that she looked. She looked at him, plucking nerviously at her sweater. He could tell that she was really shy, though, and there was something else about her that he just couldn't put his finger on. Was it fear he saw in her eyes? No, that couldn't possibly be it, because why on earth would she be afraid of him?

Suddenly a picture of him and the rest of the gang was thrust in his face, breaking his concentration. It seemed that Taylor was very insistent about getting his autograph. But, he just couldn't stop staring at Ally. She was staring at him, too, but she was fidgeting and looked quickly away when he saw her staring at him. When he continued to stare at her she blushed, and stared at her feet for a moment, then glanced up to find out that he was still staring at her. She blushed again and looked away. Yup, she was definetly shy. Right then and there he realized that he liked her very much. But, he was now sure that what he saw in her eyes was fear, but he couldn't understand why!

Then, Logan cleared his throat loudly, and whispered furiously in his ear," Dude, just sign the pictures already, and stop staring at her, you're creeping her out, can't you tell? Not to mention that you're also creeping me out!"

Carlos grinned again, and said," Sure thing Logie, anyhting for these two beautiful girls." He took the picture out of Taylor's hand and signed it with a flourish. hen Taylor nudged Ally, who came forward almost reluctantly, and handed him her picture to be signed.

" Here," she said in a soft, quiet voice," can you sign mine also?" she was now talking to Logan.

" Of course," Logan said, smiling genially at her. But Carlos noticed as he himself was signing his picture before handing it to Logan, that there was a wierd look on his face. A look of curiosity, and he thought he must be mistaken when he thought this, but also a look of suspicion. Not angry suspicion, just concerned suspicion.

Then, Taylor asked Logan, " Can I please have a hug?" And of course Logan abliged and gave her a quick hug. Then, she hugged Carlos, with like no warning at all. She gave him a fierce bear hug. He hugged her back, but not that hard. He couldn't help wincing when she finally let go of him. " Damn, that girl is strong," he thought to himself.

Aloud, he said, " Thanks for the hug, but warn me next time so I can prepare myself. You're pretty strong," he said laughing.

Taylor laughed and said, " And you're pretty cute. So where are James and Kendall?" She was curious.

He couldn't help laughing. " Oh, James is still working on his hair, and Kendork is searching for his shoes. But he won't find them, not for a while at least. I hid them-"

" Hid them where Carlos Pena?" said a voice behind him. It sounded like Kendall, and he sounded angry!

" Uh-oh," Carlos muttered fearfully, looking at Kendall sheepisly.

Without another word, Kendall grabbed Carlos's ear, and dragged him towards their dressing room, muttering obsenities all the way.

Ally's POV

Logan looked at us apologetically, and said," Well, I'd better go make sure that Kendprk doesn't kill Carlos... or vise versa. Catch you later, girls." With that being said, Logan hurried off to catch up with Kendall and Carlos.

We looked at each other for a minute, then simultaniously, we burst out laughing.

Then, Taylor said, " You totally have a crush on Carlos, and don't you even try to deny it! I can always tell when you like someone! Plus, you two would make such a cute couple!" She started laughing again, probably at the expression on my face.

Sure, I thought Carlos was cute and really funny, but he was also kind of scary, and he probably didn't like me anyway. So whatever.
