Rocque Records
All the boys are in a state of near panic because they can hear their various ring tones going off inside the secure bag. Kendall winces as he recognizes Jo's ring tone of Worldwide as it goes off in the bag. Logan's eyes go wide as his ring tone for Summer (Nothing Even Matters) joins the cacophony caused by the ringing cell phones. James and Carlos look at each other meaningfully as their cell phones join the discordant sounds as they realize who is trying to check up on them. They all groan as their phones beep to let them know they have multiple missed calls and multiple voicemails. Suddenly Gustavo jumps up and hurries his fat ass into the studio to the amusement of all four boys who follow him into there with more than a passing interest. He turns around and tells them, "Dogs, I have the next Big Time Hit! I knew making you have ring tones of your own band would be beneficial. We are going to release a special mega-mix of all your songs rolled into one. A few lines from Any Kind of Guy followed by some from Stuck, I can see it all in my head!" He sits down and feverishly starts rearranging their hits to make a new super-song. They groan as they sit down because each time he hits on the song he made them choose as their ring tone it makes them miss their significant other even more.
While Gustavo is engrossed in his new project Logan gets up and sneaks into the hallway and motions for the other boys to join him. As the final member Carlos bumbles his way into the hallway Logan says quietly, "we need to get our phones back and at least let our friends know that everything is alright. Here is my plan for getting or phones back." The rest of the group looks impressed that he thought up this plan in just a few minutes. They split and go their separate ways to looks for the phones. James sneaks into Gustavo's office, Kendall tries the dance rehearsal room, Carlos checks the recording booth, and Logan is searching everywhere else. All of a sudden James lets out a bird call and the other three boys hurry to Gustavo's office o find James being held off of the floor by Freight Train. Griffin steps out from the shadows and laughs evilly as he lectures the boys about needing to keep a low profile and how Freight Train is going to help him make them keep a low profile. They all groan and sink down into the vacant chairs in the office wondering if they will ever get to speak with their loved ones again.
The Palm Woods
Stephanie is sitting down in the lobby talking to Camille. "I'm sorry for slapping you Camille; I thought you were trying to make a move on Chris and I didn't want that to happen." Camille gives her a quizzical look and Stephanie sighs and continues to explain. "He is always trying to do the sweetest things for me, but he has the most spectacularly bad timing of anybody I have ever met. He cooked an amazing meal for me but I had just gotten back from a casting call in which the casting director wanted me to perform favors for him so I would get the part. I wasn't in any mood for anything or anybody trying to be romantic." Just then Camille's eyes harden as she sees Johnny walk into the Palm Woods with his two cronies flanking him. Stephanie follows her friend's eyes to the offending trio and gets up and goes to confront them when she feels a hand on her arm. She looks down to see that it is Chris's and that he shakes his head no and goes over to the trio himself.
They are about to say something mean in the direction of the two girls when all of a sudden Chris appears in front of Jonny. Jonny goes to say something smart ass about Camille and Stephanie when all of a sudden the air is driven from his lungs by Chris. Jonny drops to his knees and tries to catch his breath as his two friends gasp because they have never witnessed something like this up close. All three feel like they are untouchable. Jonny is still on the ground so Chris turns around to see and talk to Stephanie only to find both girls are nowhere to be found. He growls in frustration and kicks Jonny in the ribs as he stalks off trying to figure out how to next impress Stephanie. He stalks away and accidentally bumps into Gwen and knocks her to the ground but doesn't even notice and keeps walking.
Gwen sits up and looks around hoping for Carlos to come and help her up. She sighs as the guy she is falling for is nowhere to be found. She climbs to her feet and brushes herself off; she checks her phone hoping against hope that Carlos has contacted her and returned her many phone calls and text messages. She is left bitterly disappointed by the fact that her phone tells her there are no missed calls and no unread text messages. She sighs to herself again and sadly walks to her apartment wondering why Carlos has suddenly cut her out of his life.
Johnny and Katie watch her as she leaves and then they go back to playing Castle Smashers together. Pretty soon they get bored of that and they both stop playing their games at the same time. They don't even have to talk because they can see the mischievous gleam in the other's eyes and they take off running to get a smoothie. Before Katie can order her smoothie, Johnny kisses her swiftly on the cheek then turns bright red but doesn't run away. Katie turns slowly towards him and gives him a quick peck on the lips before blushing as well. They both stand there lost in the moment and unsure what else to do. She takes a deep breath and grabs his hand and they walk away from the smoothie stand without purchasing anything. They smile at each other has they are lost in puppy love.
