Okay, I know I say this every time, but I'm sorry that it's been so long since I've updated. Actually, I thought it had been longer than it really was, which is saying a lot since it's been months. School was just eating away all my time and besides that, I kind of got out of the writing mode. But the new episode of Big Time Rush, "Big Time Returns", inspired me to continue the story. SPOILER ALERT: I'm so happy Logan and Camille are back together. :) After all this time of wanting them to be back together, it happened in one episode that I wasn't expecting. I mean, did it even come up in the promo at all? I don't think so. Anyway, here's the story, and a recap.


Previously on 'For the First Time'…

"Okay, I thought long and hard about this and I want..." Logan started to proclaim. The three boys waited impatiently. Carlos was smiling, because he was sure that Logan would pick him. "...Kendall to be my best man."

Upon hearing the disclosure, Carlos' smile immediately faded.

"What?" James exclaimed, standing up, "How could you pick Kendall over me? I would have been a way better best man!"

Logan sighed, "James, you don't even know what a best man does."

James tried to think of a comeback, but ended up lamely replying, "So?"

"So, I just think-" Before Logan could finish his sentence, Carlos stood up and ran out the door.

And now…


For the First Time

Disclaimer: I do not own Big Time Rush.

Logan quickly exchanged glances with Kendall and James, before running after his helmet-wearing best friend. He sprinted out the door of the apartment, deciding to go to the right. Down the stairs (because the stairs are quicker) and through the double doors leading to the pool, Logan easily found Carlos, who was facing away from him on the lounge chair furthest from the door.

Logan took a seat next to him and was grateful when he didn't walk away. "Carlos, can we talk?"

"What, do you want to tell me that Kendall is a better friend than me?" he replied, without meeting Logan's eyes.

"Carlos, you know that you are all equally my best friends."

Carlos took a deep breath, finally looking at Logan, "Yeah, but how could you pick Kendall over me? We're like brothers! Remember all the good times we've had? You know, the good luck patrol, that time we were trying to catch the ghost, when we helped that old lady cross the street and she ended up threatening to call the cops on us?"

Logan cringed at the last part, remembering the memory of the old lady. That was not a pleasant experience. "Well, you see," Logan struggled to come up with the right words, "I just think Kendall's more… reliable than you."

"Oh, so you think I'm not reliable?" Carlos accused.

"No, of course not! I… well, yeah, kind of," he worriedly glanced at Carlos, who was staring at him with big eyes. "Well come on, you have to admit, you can be a little irresponsible sometimes. Like, that time when we had that big project due and you said you would finish it at home, but you ended up getting distracted by the ice-cream truck and totally forgot about the project?"

"Yeah… you really shouldn't have trusted me to finish that…" Carlos softened slightly.

"Look, the point is, you, Kendall, and James are all my best friends. But I look to each of you for different things. When I need to talk seriously to someone, I go to Kendall. When I need help with my hair, I go to James. And when I need someone to cheer me up, I always go to you. We all have unique characteristics, that help each other with certain issues. You know what I mean?"

Carlos looked thoughtful for a few seconds, before smiling, "Yeah, when I used to need help with my math homework, I always went to you for help."

The two boys chuckled and Logan was happy to see his friend in a better mood.

"So, are we friends again?" Logan asked.

"Yeah, we always were," Carlos replied, starting up the secret handshake they had made one boring summer day when Kendall and James were on vacation with their families.


Okay, I know what you're thinking: "That was it?" Well, I was thinking of going right to the wedding next and I thought it deserved it's own chapter. Anyway, thanks for reading! :)
