Hi guys! I'm not dead! Don't worry I haven't abandoned this story XD For those who are reading my other story Gallagher Girls in London, I'm sorry to say that I might abandon that one because I'm running out of ideas. Anyway, back to this one. SORRYY for the slow updates! I'm kinda going through a little writers block this is just a filler chapter, maybe... not sure yet. Plus I'm also working on a U-KISS fanfiction AND I'm in year 11 so A LOT of homework, so again sorry for the slow updates. I'll try to update faster. I'm also trying to make each chapter at least 1500 words, so yeah...

Special mention to all of my reviewers and followers and favourite-tors (Yep so not a word :P)! I LOVE YOU GUYS! Anyways ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter Four

"Wait, Ari? Kwon Ari, as in Ari nicknamed "Queen of K-pop" by her fans the Riri's? Cousin of Kwon So-hyun from 4minute?" I asked.

I noticed everyone staring at me. "What? I've started listening to k-pop," I shrugged and turned back to Ari.

"That's me," Ari smiled. "It's great to meet one of my fans."

"You're English is pretty good," noted Carlos, as I opened my mouth to say something.

"I was born California actually, hence why, my English is good," she said, as if she had said it plenty of times before, which she probably had.

"I love your new song Oops," I said, smiling calmly even though inside I am jumping up and down. Thank god I was famous before and had met a bunch of other stars.

"Oh, thanks! The music video was so much fun to shoot," she replied.

"I still need to watch that, haven't had the time. Anyway, what brings you here to L.A?" I asked.

"I'm actually here to record some songs for my new up and coming English album," she said. "My record company, S.M entertainment just sealed the deal on a collaboration with some American record company. I can't remember the name right now."

"It wasn't Hawk records was it?" my brother asked, as he, Carlos, James and Logan got uncomfortably close. Ari tried to move back, but she was against the lobby check in desk.

"Okay guys, back it up," I said, pulling them back behind me. I turned back to Ari. "Sorry about them, they had a few issues with Hawk records manager a while back trying to break them up and destroy our producer's life."

"Wait you said before they were you're band mates, what do you mean break them up," Ari asked, looking confused.

"Oh they better know now as Big Time Rush the boy band, but before that I was in the group as the only female member, before I left that is," I explained.

"Big Time Rush, that's who you guys are, I knew you looked familiar!" she exclaimed.

"Yep, that's us," Carlos, James, Logan and Kendall said together, laughing.

"You guys are great singers," she replied.

They opened their mouths, but before they got to say anything, their phones beeped simultaneously. They took out their phones and checked their text message.

"Gustavo wants us at Rocque records," Kendall explained.

"Rocque records was the name of the record company my label made a deal with," Ari said. "Can I come with you guys? My manager said I had to go visit it sometime today anyway."

"Sure, hey Neens wanna come?" said Logan.

"Sure, it'd be good to see Kelly again," I said.

"Let's go!" said James and Carlos.

"Hey Katie, tell mum that Gustavo wants us at the studio." I said.

"Yep," she replied, walking off.

As we walked to Rocque Records, I got to know more about Ari.

"So, Ari how'd you come to work for S.M?" I asked.

"My friends back then bugged me about auditioning until I finally agreed. I guess I'm pretty thankful that, if they didn't keep bugging me then I wouldn't be where I am today," she smiled.

"We're pretty much the same, if James over here didn't persuade us to audition, there wouldn't even be a Big Time Rush," I said, lightly punching James.

"So, you said before you left, where did you go?" she asked.

"Oh, I went to England to study for a while I wanted some time where no one knew who I was, you know? England was one of the countries that didn't know who Big Time Rush was, so yeah. I went there and these guys over here decided to come and bring me back to America." I said motioning to the Big Time Rush boys.

"Oh I know how you feel, sometimes being in the spotlight can get annoying. I guess you would know how happy I felt when I heard I was coming here," she said.

"Yeah, having a few weeks of being nobody or being with your family can be the best way to relax, in my case the latter won't work for me because living with those knuckle heads is a nightmare," I said.

"You know you love living with us Neens," said Kendall, obnoxiously.

"Do you have any siblings Ari?" I asked.

"I have a sister, she likes to...let's say mess my life and my friends. We're not really as close as you, your brother and sister are," Ari replied, sadly.

"Well, you've always got us, just think of us as your extended family," I said, hugging her.

"Yeah," the guys chorused.

"Thanks guys," she smiled. "You guys are all so nice and you just met me."

"Anytime, now come on, Rocque Records is just over there," I said.

"DOGS!" Gustavo yelled.

"Dogs?" Ari asked me questionably.

"For some unknown reason he calls them dogs," I said.

"There are reasons but they change every day," said James.

"Okay..." she replied,, totally weirded out.

"So dogs-" he started.

"Nina, you're back!" Kelly interrupted, hugging me tightly. "It's so good to see you! You're staying right? If you are, thank god because trying to manage both Gustavo and the boys is hard work without you here."

"I'm staying this time," I laughed, hugging her.

"Oh, Nina's back," said Gustavo. "You going to re-join Big Time Rush?"

"Yep, I can't let my brother have all the fun can I?" I replied.

"Great, because I wrote the perfect song the other day and thought if only Nina was still in Big Time Rush," he said.

"Hey, how come you don't call Nina dogs like us?" asked Carlos.

"BECAUSE," he yelled, but then he lowered his voice. "She's the only one out of you Dogs that listens to me."

I stuck my tongue out at them as they started complaining.

"So, dogs and Nina, Griffin has sealed the deal with a Korean record company called S.M entertainment. One of their k-pop stars, Ari will drop by soon. You, now 5 will record a song together that will be released as her first English single. I don't want ANY of you messing this up! You got it?! She will be dropping by sometime today," said Gustavo, half yelling.

"Actually, we've already met her," said Kendall.

"You have?" Kelly and Gustavo asked.

"She's right over there," we said, pointing at Ari next to me.

"Annyeonghaseyo," she greeted in Korean. She did 90 degree bow before continuing. "I'm Ari Kwon, pleasure to meet you."

"Hello, I'm Kelly. Nice to meet you Ari," Kelly replied.

"Gustavo, I write, record and edit the songs," said Gustavo. "Dogs, Nina, why don't you show Ari here around. Meet back here tomorrow at 9:00 to record the new song."

"Alright," we shrugged.

"We'll show you around," said James.

"Alright," she replied, following James, Carlos and Kendall. Logan and I were lagging behind.

"Hey Neens," Logan smiled his adorably bright smile.

"Hey Logan," I smiled. He looked so cute, wait what are you thinking Nina. He's your best friend and nothing more.

"So, how was England," he asked.

"It was really good. I made a couple of really good friends there and apart from the break up with Fabian everything was fine. I expected the break up anyway, it would've happened sooner or later," I shrugged. I looked over at Logan. His face looked like it brightened up a little; it fell as soon as it had appeared. I quickly shook it off, it must have been my imagination.

"I'm sorry to hear that, Camille and I broke up last week," he said.

"Yeah, I heard. Sorry about that, I know how much you liked her," I replied, sincerely.

"I guess I'm better now. It still hurts, but I'm better now than I was a couple days ago," he replied, looking at me. My heart did a little back flip. I blushed at the way he was looking at him. I quickly turned away to hide my red cheeks.

"Well, I'm glad. I guess we're both going through heartache this month huh," I said, laughing a little.

"Yeah, but I'm better now that your back here in the states with us Neens," he smiled, making me blush furiously.

"Hey, guys hurry up! I wanna get back to Palm Woods soon, we have the late night sing off soon as well," my brother said, making us jump apart.

"Yep, so let's go or else none of us get to hear one of Neens amazing songs," said Carlos.

"Aww thank you Carlos," I said. I quickly checked the time on my phone. It said that it was close to 8:00 and it takes half an hour to walk back to the Palm Woods, plus we have to eat before the late night sing off. "Oh, yeah we better get going if we want to eat before the late night sing off."

"Yeah, I didn't get my corndogs before," Carlos said, pouting. We all rolled our eyes at him.

"Wait, what's the late night sing off?" Ari asked.

"Every Friday night at 9:00 the Palm Woods holds a singing contest," explained Logan.

"And Nina is going to sing for us today," said Logan.

"Oh really?" Ari asked. "I can't wait to hear it."

"Can you give us a hint on what the song sounds like?" James asked.

"Nope, you just have to wait for an hour," I smiled, mischievously. "Now come on before mum starts worrying."

So how was it? Boring, meh? Review your answers please? I love constructive criticism, just no flames thankyou.

P.S Guest: Why don't you like Ari? Oh well, she's my OC (I just had to put a kpop idol in here ^^) I'm glad you like this story :) Thanks for the review! I love each and every one of them! Hope you like this chapter!
