This chapter goes out to Pigfarts Pigfarts Yum Yum Yum for giving me the idea for this chapter. Thank you. (:
But anyways I hope all of you enjoy this chapter. 333
Christmas the time of joy, its also called the most wonderful time of the year. Christmas where family and friends come together, and celebrate. Also the time of giving an receiving. But of course none of Big Time Rush and the girls have anything to give.
So, this is why they are all getting ready to go to K-Mart for Christmas shopping. But Logan the only one not knowing they were going to get distracted.
"Christmas shopping, nothing else right?" Logan asked zipping his jacket up.
"Of course Logan, what else would we do?" James and that grin. We all know what's going to go down when he does that. What Logan doesn't know though is everybody else is going for messing around not to shop.
"Alright lets go." Logan said skeptical.
*At K-Mart*
"Please Logan," Carlos was on his knees. "Please, please."
"Carlos stop it, your making a scene." Logan smiled at everybody who went by, trying to draw attention away from Carlos who was slowly begging him.
"Carlos no, we are here to shop not mess around." Logan glared at his other friends who were all giving him the puppy dog face.
"But Logan, we don't want to shop we want to have fun." Everybody entering the store just stared at the teenage boy on the ground acting like a two year old having a fit.
This embarrassed Logan to higher extinct. This more embarrassing then everything he has done with his friends in all the other stores. Just plain out embarrassing.
"Fine we can. But were suppose to be shopping, for Christmas which is in three days I repeat three days." Logan grabbed Carlos by his arms and stood him up.
"Thank you Logie, you wont regret it." Carlos and everybody went in before Camille kissed Logan on the cheek a silent thank you.
Walk up to an employee and ask: "Can I help you?"
Carlos
"Can I help you?" Carlos asked an employee.
"Um, excuse me?"
"Yes, I'm asking you!" Carlos said in an annoyingly perky voice.
"But I don't need h-"
"Denial. Tsk tsk. You my good man, are about to go on a life changing program."
"Er...what?"
"You see, I am a representative from the 'I need help and I'm proud of it' company, and I'm here to help you!"
"Me? But I don't-"
"Don't interrupt me when I'm speaking!" Carlos snapped.
"S-sorry." the man fumbled.
"I noticed that you really need help because," he started to count the reasons off his fingers.
"One, your sloppy posture suggests that you are lazy and not 'The Perfect Employee'." The poor guy realized that he was slouching and stood up, his back straight as a ruler.
"Two, your attire. Your pant's pulled up waaaay above your waist and that just screams 'dork'." Carlos said, with so much sass.
"Three, your face. Thin, oily, pimple-y. I mean, is any part of your face not covered with pimples? And your eyes! Don't get me started! Blurry and unfocused. Did you play video games up until the wee hours of morning?" The man cleared his throat. "Um... 'Knights and Dragons in the Castle' is not a video game, it's an interactive-"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever!" Carlos yawned. "All these signs hint of imperfection, geeky-ness. But more importantly, geeky-ness."
"So what can I do about it?" the man asked timidly, hoping that it didn't involve needles or operations or diets.
"Nothing!" Carlos answered in a chipper voice.
"Wait, aren't suppose to help?"
"Yes! Help you realize that you aren't perfect and need help."
"Umm... but I didn't even realize I was imperfect before you came."
"That's your tiny brain in denial. But I'm here to help you embrace it. I want you to scream: I need help and I'm proud of it!"
"I need help and I'm proud of it." the guy squeaked.
"Louder! Say 'I'm an imperfect nerd and I'm proud!'"
"I'm an imperfect nerd and I'm proud." he said in his normal voice, gaining confidence.
"Louder. 'I need help and I'm proud of it!'"
"I need help and I'm proud of it! I'm an imperfect nerd and I'm proud! I need help and I'm proud of it!" he yelled, his volume rising with every sentence.
After yelling about being proud of himself for several minutes, Carlos shook his hand.
"Congratulations! You've just completed the 'I need help and I'm proud of it' program! Here's an official badge!"
He took out a transparent plastic bag full of bright yellow badges from his... pocket? And handed him one.
The man pinned on the button and flashed it proudly. "Thanks so much... sir. I couldn't have done it at all without your help! Thank you!" The emotional man actually had tears in his eyes.
"No problem!" Carlos grinned, like he actually did a good deed. "I, uh, gotta be some where for a motivational talk, so I'll...uh see you soon! Bye bye now!"
"Bye! And thanks for everything." the now confident employee paraded around the premises, puffing out his chest, showing off his 'I need help and I'm proud of it' button. "Good morning, mam!" he greeted one of the customers as he sashayed past her. "I need help but I'm proud of it! You should be proud too!"
He didn't turn back, even as he realized that he forgot to shake Carlos' hand. If he did, though, he would've seen Carlos on the floor in a heap, laughing to celebrate a job well done... or maybe he was laughing at his 'customer'...
Ask for soap.
Kendall
Wrapped up in a towel, shirtless, but having his boxers on underneath, Kendall strutted around. Surprising that he made it through the front doors without being caught or thrown out.
People staring. Everybody thinking he is only wearing a towel, but they don't know he has his boxers on underneath. This is what makes it much better.
Strutting like a model, Kendall made his way up to an employee. Not being embarrassed at all.
"Where can I find the soap?" Kendall pointed to his body. "I need to shower."
"Sir there are families in here." The small man tried blocking Kendall, but Kendall being to big compared to the employee; it didn't work.
"So, just tell me where the soap is." Shrugging his shoulders, Kendall pointed to his body again.
The employee still ignored Kendall's question. The small man grabbed a shirt from a rack, and shoved it in Kendall's face. "Put that on."
"I will not, just tell me where the soap is!" Kendall threw the shirt in the employee's face.
"Put the shirt on sir, like I said before there are families here." He threw the shirt at Kendall again.
"If you tell me where the soap is then I will leave."
"Fine I'll go get the soap, stay here." The employee walked off to go get the soap that Kendall wanted to badly.
Of course Kendall didn't stay, he walked off laughing. Finding his friends, so he could put his clothes back on.
The small employee came back to see Kendall not there. Just great.
"We have a code 23, code 23." The employee said into his walkie talkie.
Scream every time the check out person scans an item.
James
A 21 year old woman stood with the cashier at the check out line, checking out her items, well trying.
The cashier grabs a Pepsi and scans it. Out of no where James comes out screaming 'AHHH!' Scaring the 21 year old and the cashier.
The cashier gave James the what the hell look. While scanning a pack of gum.
'AHHH!'
"Sir are you okay?" The cashier asked while scanning a chocolate bar, earning a scream from James 'AHHH!'.
"Sir are you okay?" The cashier asked again scanning a bag of chips.
'AHHH!'
"What is your problem?" The cashier scanned a white t-shirt.
'AHHH!'
The 21 year old just stood back and watched. She was trying to fight the grin on her face but she couldn't. It was obvious every time the cashier scanned an item the very handsome boy would scream. It was just plain out hilarious, she did not want to ruin her fun so she is not saying anything.
"Sir, what is wrong with you?" You could tell the cashier was getting aggravated. She scanned a pair of blue jean pants.
'AHHH!'
"You are getting on my last nerves." She scanned blue nail polish.
'AHHH!'
Scanning a hair brush, the cashier had a scowl on her face.
'AHHH!'
She scanned her last item hair bows "I'm about to-"
She was cut off by James screaming. 'AHHH!'
'Well I had a fun time, we should do it again." James smiled and walked off. The cashier look dumbfounded she just stared at the scanner everything finally come to her. The 21 year old grabbed her stuff and left while laughing.
Ask how much for the big K out front.
Katie
That K would be a great addition to my room.
You need patience to wait in line, and that's something I don't have. Katie thought to herself as she walked to the customer service line.
After about 20 taps of the foot, and 10 sighs it was now Katie's turn.
"How may I help you?" A woman wearing glasses asked.
"Yeah, I was wondering how much the K out front cost." Katie bluntly said.
"Um…what did you say?" The woman asked completely confused.
"I didn't stutter, but I said I was wondering how much the K out front cost."
"The K out front is not for sale." The lady pushed her glasses up.
"And why not?" Katie tapped her fingers on the desk that the woman was occupied behind. "It would be a great addition to my room."
"I bet it would be, but its not for sale because without that K the store would be called mart, and the name of the store is K-Mart." The lady said to Katie being a little bit bitchy.
"So, just tell me how much it cost." Katie demanded.
"I don't know how much it costs, the owner of K-Mart knows, and I'm not the owner." Rude much?
"Well you just wait Alisha." Katie read her name tag. "When I own this town, I will own this store then the K shall be mine." She walked off.
Wow that girl scares me. Alisha watched Katie walk off.
Fill up your cart with as many things as possible and tell the cashier you've decided you only want the gum.
Camille
Camille pushed her cart full of groceries towards the row of cashiers. She patiently waited for the line in front of her to move.
Finally, she reached the counter and began to transfer the items in the cart to the counter and the cashier began to scan the items simultaneously.
Working very quickly, the 88 items in Camille's cart were neatly packed in 10 bags. "That would be $174.65, please."
"$175.65? I'm sorry, but I didn't expect it to be so expensive!"
"It's alright! Maybe you'd like to remove something..."
"Hmmm..." Camille pretended to mull over the matter. "Ok, I've decided. I want the gum."
"Only the gum?" The cashier asked, incredulous.
"Yes. Only the gum."
Oh my gosh! This woman is insane. The cashier dug though the 10 bags in search of the gum. There was no gum.
"I'm sorry, but there is no gum."
"No gum? Oh, I must have forgotten! Silly me! Here." She grabbed a packet of gum from the rack next to the counter and handed it over to the cashier.
The originally perky cashier was now very, very irritated. Talk about mood swings. She scanned the barcode.
"75 cents, please." the cashier said through gritted teeth.
Camille handed her the money and exited the store holding a packet of gum.
Strut like a model
Logan
We are suppose to be Christmas shopping not strutting like a model. Lets just get this over with…
Walk, walk, walk, turn, pose.
Walk, walk, walk, pose, turn.
Strut, strut, strut, lie on the ground and pose.
Strut, strut, strut, double spin, smile.
People stopped and stared at the boy who was walking like a model. Most people found this funny, and the rest found it disturbing.
Walk, walk, swing arm, swing arm, pose and smile.
Slow walk, slow walk, slow turn, and slowly pose.
Strut, strut, triple turn, and hip thrust.
Walk, strut, slow walk, slow turn, turn, double spin, triple turn, swing arm, pose, slowly pose, smile, and last but not least back flip. Saved the best for last, but that did make me dizzy.
People were fascinated by what Logan just did, Logan found it fun, embarrassing and dizzy.
Put a lot of stuff in your cart and pay for it with a dollar.
Jo
Jo put almost $650 worth of merchandise into her cart and waited in line. "Hello," greeted the cashier in a friendly tone. Jo greeted her bad and started to put her purchases on the counter.
Beep, beep, beep.
The cashier ran the items past the scanner and before she could even announce the total price of the stuff, Jo handed her a dollar.
"Keep the change," She said smoothly and collected the bags in her hands.
"Wait mam!" the cashier chased after her. "You only paid $1 for your things when it's $639.41."
"Not a problem!" She put the whole load of shopping bags into the arms of the employee and fished out a permanent marker from her pocket. She took his bill from the cashier and promptly added three zeroes behind the '1'.
"Mam," the cashier was struggling with the bags. "Now the note is worth nothing."
"How can you say that? My one thousand dollar bill is perfectly fine and not worthless."
"This is discrimination! This is unfair! I'm going to Target where I'm sure my money can be used! Good day!" he seethed then stormed off."
The cashier sighed and returned back inside. She was met with her co-worker who spat icily, "Good job, Dee! Another customer lost to Target. Why does it always happen to you?"
Play Limbo with the brooms.
Everyone
"Grab the broom!" James said to Kendall.
"Which one?" Kendall asked looking at each individual broom.
"What does it matter, they are all brooms."
"Hey it matters." Kendall grabbed the longest broom and held it up so everybody could start going under it.
"Alright, you may begin." Kendall started humming the song to Limbo.
After a while Carlos got out, him being the one that has no balance. Katie got out, after falling down. Logan got saying 'this is bad for your back' tantrum. James got out with his nose touching the broom. Camille got out after collapsing on the floor. So this left Jo to win.
"I did it, oh yeah, I did it, in your face." Jo danced out of the store in victory.
"Yeah you did do it Jo," Logan unlocked the van doors. "You beat us all."
"I know."
They all buckled up, and started leaving the store parking lot, when it all hit them. "Christmas shopping!" Logan did a U-turn parked the van, and they ran inside for the second time today but this time they are going to shop.
Author's note: This was my third time writing this chapter! Everything was messing up on me, I was so pissed yesterday.
But its all okay now, I got it done. I hope you enjoy, review, and have a HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
