James, Kendall, Logan and Carlos all sat down on the living room sofa awkwardly. The air was so thick with tension that you could cut it.

"Well," Logan said, finally breaking the silence. The rest of the boys just stared at him and bit their tongues. He frowned and shut up.

"We were drunk last night," James said quickly.

Instantaneously Kendall agreed, "Yeah."

"O-oh yeah, totally drunk," Logan chirped in. He grimaced with his teeth showing.

"We all like girls," James said. "Well at least I like girls."

"No, we like girls," Carlos said. They all nodded to each other and mumbled the same sorts of things.

"Then there's no issue, right?" Kendall asked, making a desperate smile. "I like girls. We like girls. Things happen, but, we…all…like…girls."

"I like girls and I definitely do not like guys," Logan said monotonously.

Just then, Katie came out into the living room. She was still in her pajamas. "What are you guys talking about?" She asked.

The boys all turned and looked at her. Carlos started hyperventilating, and he quickly yelped, "We were just talking about how much we like GIRLS. Because we all, uh, hooked up with girls last night. Right? Because we like girls."

Logan planted his face in his own hands, but James and Kendall agreed. Kendall smiled smugly and tried to act like nothing was wrong. Katie narrowed her eyes. There was an awkward silence.

"Yes, we…" Logan said with a sigh. "We all hooked up with girls last night. But I don't think we need to discuss this any further with you." He jabbed Carlos in the ribs.

"Whatever," Katie said. She looked at them all suspiciously and slid over to the kitchen.

"Quit saying stupid shit!" Logan whispered sharply into Carlos's ear.

"Sorry I was nervous!" Carlos whispered back. "And I sort of did hook up with a girl last night!"

"What are you talking about?" Logan hissed.

"You have a butt like a girl!"

"Shhhhh!" He put his finger to his mouth, trying to shut Carlos up before he talked too loud.

"What are you whispering about?" Katie asked blankly as she poured herself a bowl of cereal.

"I'm just trying to teach Carlos basic manners," said Logan. Katie rolled her eyes.

"Good luck with THAT," she said. The boys laughed nervously.

"Your butt is really cute, by the way," Carlos leaned into Logan's ear again and whispered more. Logan's face lit up, and he shushed him again.

"What is he telling you?" Katie asked. "Are you talking about me?"

"Noooo-oooo," Carlos and Logan said simultaneously.

"This is getting awkward," James announced. "I don't know why you keep whispering about Katie behind her back, but, uh, I'm going to goooo….do something else!"

"Um. Yeah. Me, too!" Kendall followed. The two of them got up and quickly ran out, leaving Carlos and Logan to explain their strange behavior to the young girl. Katie walked over to the boys with her hands on her hips.

"What's going on here? You all are acting really, REALLY weird," she said.

"Uhhhh," Carlos and Logan said. They looked to one another with sheepish grins. Then they turned back to Katie.

"We were, uh," Carlos tried to explain. Logan clapped his hand over the boy's mouth and said, "What Carlos is trying to say, is…"

"You know what?" Katie interrupted. "I don't even want to know. But when you all get in trouble, don't come crying to me for help."

She took her cereal and left. Carlos and Logan sighed in relief.

"Oh my GOD!" Logan suddenly shouted. "You seriously need to chill the fuck out."

"Me? Me chill out?" Carlos asked with a frown. His face fell emotionless and he added, "Yeah. I guess I should."

"So you think I have a girl butt?" Logan asked quietly. Carlos nodded. "But it's cute, right?"

"Oh yeah, totally."

"You've always been looking at my butt like that?"

Carlos looked away shyly. He said, "yeaaah" in a small voice. Logan giggled. He skootched closer to Carlos and grabbed his hands.

"You like my butt?" He asked. Carlos nodded again. They stared at each other for a minute, and then exchanged a small kiss. Logan purred quietly. They kissed once more, this time longer. Mid-kiss, a voice came running in and said, "I knew it!"

Carlos and Logan pulled away from each other and started screaming. Then they turned and screamed at the intruder. It was Katie again. Carlos and Logan screamed more.

"KNEW WHAT!" Logan yelled in the middle of his screaming.

"I knew what you were doing last night!" Katie insisted. She ran up to the boys and pointed in their faces. "I heard it all. Who didn't?"

"Ttccch," Logan winced. His face turned bright red. "Don't tell anybody, okay?"

"I won't…" Katie said casually.

"You would!" Carlos yelled.

"I wouldn't," Katie rebutted. The boys leered at her.

"Sure?"

"Suuurre," the girl said. Logan didn't buy it.

"What do we have to do for you?" He asked.

"Nothing. Well, nothing right now. But I would expect you to comply if I need any favors."

"Deal!" Carlos interjected. Logan groaned in agony.

"Wait, Katie," Logan tried to squeeze his words in, but she shook her head.

"Carlos said deal. And we have a deal." She winked and ran out of the living room. Logan frowned at Carlos.

"Great," he said. "Why'd you have to say that?"

"'Cause I didn't want her to tell anybody!" Carlos argued.

"But we could have manipulated her offer. Now we 'owe' her."

"Yeah, but how bad could it be?"

The boys took a few moments to think about what arduous tasks Katie might make them perform. They shunned at the possibilities.

"Couldn't be…that…bad?" Carlos mumbled desperately.

"I just wonder what she's going to do with Kendall and James."
