Disclaimer: I do not own Big Time Rush..or Wal-mart. Or anything but the OC's and plot.
The song mentioned is 'Raise Your Glass' by Pink. I dont own that either!
"BIG TIME RUSH! That's it you guys! Big-Time-Rush!" Lauren exclaimed, jumping up excitedly.
"What?" Kendall said with raised brows, sitting back down.
Then Jessie caught on, she grinned.
"Yesss! That's perfect! It's catchy, and it breaks dads 'boyz' tradition. He's not gonna like that one."
"Who cares! Since when did we ever listen to Gustavo Rocque?" Lauren grinned.
"Never!" Jessie laughed.
"OH! I just thought of a way to get your jobs back!" Lauren said excitedly.
"Does it involve a wedgie catapult and a huge pile of cow poop?" Carlos asked.
"No… but great idea. I might just have to use that one someday." Lauren said thoughtfully.
"Hello! Mind explaining what you two are going on about?" Kendall exclaimed confused.
Both girls grinned at him.
"The name of your guys' new band!" Lauren stated.
"Big Time Rush!" Jessie finished.
"Hmm, I like it, it fits." Kendall agreed, the guys nod in their agreement.
"And our jobs?" Logan asked.
"Simple, just compromise with the dope and BAM the dogs are back in business, and Jessie is a brat once again. Besides, Griffin wants a boy band by the end of the week, and Jessie is in contract with Griffin AND Dad. Her contract can't be terminated without the boss mans say so." Lauren said with a shrug.
"I can't believe I didn't think of that one!" Jessie said, feeling stupid as she facepalmed.
"There is a reason Jayde reads over every document we sign Jessie…" She said with raised brows
They all agreed to give Laurens plan a shot tomorrow, but right now they all sat around the fire and talked, getting to know eachother. The guys learned that Lauren was a hockey fanatic, hence the slightly damp Los Angeles Kings jersey that she wore. All of the Rocquet Gurlz played hockey, but none of them were as crazy for it as Lauren was. She and Kendall agreed to get together and have a friendly match sometime, Big Time Rush vs. Rocquet Gurlz. The sun went down and the mosquito's started biting…
"Well I think it's about time we headed home Jessie." Lauren said after she slapped another blood sucker off of her arm.
"What! You're crazy if you think im going back to that house tonight! No way in hell man." Jessie shook her head, a look on her face that said 'you-cant-make-me."
"Well were else do you suppose you'll sleep!" Lauren sighed as she stood up and stretched.
"I'll sleep right here if I have to, wouldn't be the first time." Jessie shrugged.
"Fine, but im staying with you." Lauren insisted, sitting down next to her sister.
"You girls can't sleep out here." James stated with a shake of his head.
"I can, and I will." Jessie said.
"The mosquito's will eat you alive!" Carlos exclaimed as he smacked one off of his neck.
"You'll catch your death out here, with west nile disease going around." Logan stated as he swatted at the little annoying insects.
"How about bunking out in 2J tonight, then in the morning we can all go down to Rocque Records and get our jobs back." Kendall offered as he absent-mindedly chewed on his nails.
"Hmm I dunno, are you sure your mom wont mind? It's your guys' first night here, we don't want to intrude." Lauren said looking at Kendall.
Kendall smiled at her.
"Course not, my moms cool."
"What do ya say Jessie?" She asked, turning to look at her.
"I don't have a choice do I." She sighed.
"Of course not! Now come on, you're bunking with me!" James grinned as he yanked Jessie up and threw her over his shoulder.
Kendall and Lauren shared a smirk as they followed behind James as he carried Jessie back into the Palm Woods against her will.
.
.
"James effing Diamond! Put. Me. Down!" Jessie demanded as she kicked her legs and beat her fist into his back.
"No can do Jessie-boo." He laughed as they all entered the elevator.
Carlos eagerly clicked the button to their floor.
"You put me down now! Or so help me God, when I get down from here I am punching you in the wiener!" She threatened.
"You do that." James said with a smirk.
He lifted his hand and slapped her on the ass…hard!
"Ouch! HEY!...LAUREN? Lauren! Why the hell aren't you helping me!" Jessie shouted.
Lauren stepped behind Kendall.
"Oh man im trying! But Kendall's holding me back." Lauren said lamely, reaching over an amused Kendall's shoulders like she was trying to get to Jessie.
With a loud sigh Jessie went limp and stopped fighting, because fighting was getting her nowhere and all she was doing at this point was wasting her energy.
The elevator doors opened two floors before their stop, a group of three stepped in and hit the lobby button, looking weirdly at James and Jessie.
"Bye." Jessie waved cheerfully at the people in the elevator as they reached their stop and James walked out.
"We're back Mom!" Kendall shouted as they entered 2J.
"Oh hey boys." Mrs. Knight said as she walked out of the bathroom, bandana around her head and a scrub brush in hand.
"Hello Mrs. Knight." Jessie said casually.
"Hello Jes- I don't even want to know." Mrs. Knight said as she looked up and seen Jessie on James' shoulder.
"Mom, this is-"
"Lauren Rocque!" Katie exclaimed, cutting off Kendall.
The ten year old raced across the sitting room and hugged Lauren, who returned the hug. Katie was a big fan of Rocquet Gurlz, owning both of their albums. Lauren was her favorite out of the group though, ever since that concert James took her too nearly seven months ago for her tenth birthday, Lauren sort of became her idol.
"Uh, who are you and what have you done with my baby sister?" Kendall demanded, not used to seeing his little sister act like this.
Katie let go of Lauren and lightly blushed, shooting a glare at her brother.
"Just because I don't act like a ten year old most of the time doesn't mean that im not one! Besides, Lauren is my favorite artist, you should know that big brother." Katie shot.
"I knew that." James spoke up.
Lauren looked between the little girl named Katie and James with a thoughtful look on her face. She knew these two from somewhere, she knew she did! She just couldn't place her finger on it.
'Hmmm Katie…katie…Why does that name seem so familiar…' Lauren thought to herself. Then she remembered what Jessie just said, she said 'Mrs. Knight' Knight!... Katie Knight!
"I knew I remembered you from somewhere!" Lauren exclaimed as she pointed at James.
"What?" Kendall asked as he looked between the two.
"About seven months ago! March fourth. My Sweet sixteen birthday bash concert in Minnesota. Carmen and Jayde did double spin backflips off of the twenty foot speakers at the end of 'Raise Your Glass'. They had to carry Carmen off stage because she busted her ankle and then I drug Katie onstage to fill in for her and sing her parts through three songs. Then when Carmen came back out in a foot brace we all sang happy birthday to her. Remember James? You should, you were there." Lauren finished.
"Oh yeah, I remember now." James said as he looked up and to the left, seeming to have a flashback.
"I remember, best birthday ever!" Katie said with a grin, and with that said she pulled out her DS and walked toward her room.
"Uhhh James? Could you PLEASE put me down now! The blood is rushing to my head back here." Jessie spoke up after a moment of silence.
"Oh sorry." He said and sat her down.
She threw her hair back off of her beet red face and shot a glare at James. He just grinned at her and ruffled her messy hair.
"Jerk." She mumbled, smacking his hand away.
"Anyways! Mom this is Lauren, Jessie's sister. They're going to camp out here tonight, you don't mind right?" Kendall asked, looking at his mother with wide 'please-say-yes' eyes.
"Of course I don't, it should be a nice change from being around all you boys 24/7." Mrs. Knight said with a grin.
"Thanks mom." Kendall said sarcastically, then he hugged his mother.
.

The boys were sitting on the couch, flipping through the channels on the old television set, Lauren and Jessie had decided to do something useful and help Mrs. Knight clean up the apartment. They were running around, passing sponges and cleanser sprays back and forth. Sweeping the floors and wiping sweat from their brows.
"Trust Bitters to give you guys the crappiest apartment in the whole building." Lauren spat as she scrubbed black grime out of the bottom of the bathtub.
"I wonder why that man is so hateful." Mrs. Knight said as she poured bleach into the toilet.
"I think it's because he couldn't pick up a lady even if he paid her." Lauren said, turning the shower on to rinse out the grime that she managed to scrub up.
"Lauren! That is so mean." Mrs. Knight exclaimed, trying hard not to crack a smile.
"What! Its true, and you know it!" Lauren said grinning.
"That is not true, Im sure there is a woman out their somewhere, waiting to be swept off their feet by Mr. Reginald Bitters." Mrs. Knight said as she swished the toilet brush around the bowl.
"So you're saying that you would date him?" Lauren asked with brows raised.
"Absolutely not!"
Lauren and Mrs. Knight both burst into light laughter as soon as the words left her mouth.
.

Jessie was sprinkling carpet freshener out onto the nasty carpet, wrinkling her nose up in disgust as she dumped a little extra on a gross stain.
"Feet up boys."
They lifted their legs up, not removing their eyes from the television. Then leaned to the side when Jessie walked in front of them and blocked their view as she sprinkled the new carpet scented powder around the sitting room. After that was done she started up the vacuum, running it around the floor. When she pushed the vacuum against the couch, the legs gave out from underneath it and the boys bounced a bit when it hit the floor with a thump.
"Jessie, why are you cleaning our apartment?" James asked with a confused look.
"Are you guys going to clean it?" She asked as she rolled up the vacuum cord, just having finished getting up the powder.
The four boys stayed quiet.
"Of course not, so stop complaining and let me clean." Jessie insisted.
"But you girls are our guest, you shouldn't be cleaning!" Kendall protested.
"Either you let me clean this nasty place up, or I go sleep by the pool." Jessie stated.
"You're going to be a good housewife someday Jessie." James commented with a smile as he watched her wipe the dust off of the TV screen and roll the vacuum into the corner.
"That is so sexist." Jessie laughed as she went to the kitchen and began to wipe down the counter tops with disinfectant wipes, her neat freak coming out. If their was anything Jessie hated, it was messiness.
Messiness and bad hair days.
Time went by and before they knew it, the cleaning was finished. The teens, along with Katie were sitting around the table playing spades.
"Do you have any threes?" James asked, looking toward Jessie who had just facepalmed.
"James, we're not playing Go Fish! Guys, I fold and im helping this derp before he goes completely broke." Jessie insisted as she slid her money pile of dollar bills and loose change across the table and walked around to stand behind James' seat.
He seemed to be a confused little boy as Jessie picked through his cards and placed some of them in new places in his hand.
"He raises to a dollar."
"I do?"
"You do." Jessie nod, throwing a buck into the pot.
"MOM! Im hungry, whats for dinner?" Kendall asked as he checked and threw a dollar into the growing money pile.
"Im not sure about that boys, there is absolutely nothing in this apartment to make!" She said as she shut the empty fridge door.
"No food! What! How are we going to live if theirs no food!" Carlos exclaimed when he heard about the fridge and cabinets being empty.
"Go to the market." Katie stated as she flipped a card from the deck onto the table.
"With what? My good looks?" Mrs. Knight said sarcastically.
"Don't you have the grocery money?" The small girl asked, raising the bid up to two dollars.
"No, I left it on the mantel back at home!" The woman groaned lightly.
"Don't worry about it Mama Knight, Gustavo Rocque has it covered." Lauren said as she dug in her pocket and pulled out a credit card from her wallet.
She handed it to Mrs. Knight.
"You have his credit card?" Kendall asked with a raised brow.
"And his social security number, and his drivers license, AND his buy one get one free smoothie card." Lauren listed off with a smirk.
"Fold…why?" Logan asked, looking up with wide eyes.
"Reasons." Jessie grinned.
"I cant take his card!" Mama Knight protested, handing back the card like it burned her.
"She's right, first offense identity theft is worth up to at least two and a half years in the federal state prison." Logan said smartly.
"Thank you Jayde…" Lauren said sarcastically with a frown on her face.
"Ive been thinking the same thing all day." Jessie said with a smile.
"What?" Logan asked, very confused.
"Your smartypants talk and your big boy words are just like Jayde's. Dumb it down a bit for the lesser intelligent people." Lauren said as she threw thee bucks into the pile.
"Okay, if Mama Knight uses that card, Daddy Rocque will get very very angry and Mama Knight will be sent straight to a very very bad place with very very bad people for a very very long time." Logan said to Lauren, acting like she was a two year old.
"I understood you the first time, I was talking about James." Lauren said, flicking a penny at Logan's head.
"Hey! Be nice to James! He's learning." Jessie defended, patting the insulted brunette on the shoulder.
"What Jessie said!" James stated, looking upwards to Jessie with a grin.
Lauren stuck her tounge out at her sister then turned toward Mrs. Knight.
"I understand why you don't want to use the card, so would you like me and Jessie to go pick some things up for you? We aren't worried about credit card fraud."
"No, I couldn't. That's your father's money…" Mrs. Knight declined.
"Don't worry about it Mrs. K! He has plenty! And I did say last week in Minnesota that all your expenses would be taken care of right?" Jessie reasoned.
"True." Kendall nod.
"Exactly, and it's the least we could do for you letting us stay here tonight." Lauren insisted.
"Oh okay!" Mrs. Knight caved.
They group finished up their spades game, Katie winning of course. She beat James' full house with a royal flush. The clock read 9:23 pm, with a stretch the girls got up from the table and slipped their shoes back on. Lauren dug through her backpack and pulled out two wigs and beanies, she handed one to Jessie.
"What are those for?" James asked as he watched Jessie slide on a bleach blonde shoulder length wig and purple beanie.
"Why am I not surprised?" Kendall asked as he seen Lauren pull the strange items out of her back pack.
"Quiet you, these- 'Lauren motioned between herself and Jessie's heads'- are what we use to keep attention from ourselves in public places." Lauren said as she slid her dark brown wig and red beanie on.
She topped it off by throwing on a pair of horn rimmed glasses on.
"Paparazzi folk are some animals, its best that we keep a low profile or we won't get any shopping done." Jessie stated as she ran her fingers through the wig hair, knocking out the tangles.
"Here, I wrote a list of all the things I need." Mrs. Knight said, handing the paper to Lauren that had various food items written on it.
"Kay, and we'll try to be back before ten." Jessie promised as they walked toward the door.
"Wait!" Mrs. Knight called as they began out the door.
"Yes?" Jessie asked, poking her head back into the apartment.
"Why don't the boys go with you? I don't like the thought of you girls being out so late by yourselves." She suggested, her motherly instincts kicking in.
"Sure." Jessie shrugged.
The guys threw their shoes on and walked out of 2J.
"So, where are we going?" Kendall asked as they walked down the hallway.
"Wal-mart!" The girls chorused together with matching grins.
