Sorry it's been so long, the end of my summer's been hectic, so I have many things to tell you before I get to this chapter.

1: My step dad's brother passed away on the late evening of July 31st.

2: My step sister got married on August 13th.

3: My big brother, who is in the army, was shot on August 12th. The bullet entered his hand and came out near his elbow. The bullet didn't hit any bones but did some damage and at the moment he has no feeling in it.

Okay, so this is a re-post. When I first posted this chapter, my computer flipped and put another chapter before it, and I didn't get any reviews over it, so I figured nobody read it, and if you have, sorry for the false hope.

So, now I've told you what I've been doing, let's get to the story.

72. Mischief Managed

"Whatcha doin'?" Carlos asked as he ran into the kitchen where Logan was.

"I'm cooking. What does it look like?" Logan asked as he threw some pepper into the pot.

"Oh...whatcha cooking?" Carlos asked, trying to look over Logan's shoulder into the pot.

Logan side stepped. "Smell it." He said, giving Carlos an evil smirk.

Carlos knit his eyebrows together as he stepped towards the pot. He bent over and took a whiff, quickly covering his face and backing away. "What in the world is that?" He asked. It was really bad if Carlos refused to eat it.

Logan started laughing. "A concoction." He said, walking over to the fridge and taking out the butter.

Carlos took his hands off his mouth. "What kind of concoction? It smells like something died in there!"

Logan smiled as he started cutting the butter. "That's the point."

Carlos tilted his head in confusion. "What does that mean?"

Logan threw the chopped up butter stick into the pot. "It's supposed to smell really bad. Like something from Harry Potter." Logan explained.

"Why are you making a death potion?" Carlos asked, staring at Logan in deep confusion.

"Ha, death potion. I'm using that." Logan sighed with a smile on his face. "James and Kendall threw me into the pool again today, so I'm going to pour this on them. If I can get it just right, the smell will last all week, not matter what they do. And this is the last chance I can do this, because we have to go back to recording next week." Logan said, stirring his 'potion.'

"Oh, can I help?" Carlos asked excitedly.

Logan smiled maniacally. "Of course. I'll be done sooner with a partner."

Carlos' face lit up. "Awesome! What can I do?"

Logan pointed to the fridge. "Get me the eggs."

Kendall was relaxing in one of the pool chairs. James, who was sitting next to him, was rambling on about what he thought Logan was doing for revenge. By this point Kendall, who had heard everything from water balloons to exploding smoothies, was tuning him out and wondering why they hadn't heard from Carlos in a while. "Where do you think Carlos is?" Kendall asked, interrupting James.

James glared at Kendall for a second then shrugged. "It's Carlos; we only truly know where he is when we can see him."

Kendall nodded. He pulled his phone out and texted Carlos.

Where ya at?

-Kendall

It took less than a minute for Carlos to respond.

2J, get up here NOW!

-Carlos

"We better get back to the apartment. Carlos just told me to get there now. And with his Carlos-ness, we better go." James nodded and the two boys got up and walked into the Palm Woods.

Carlos and Logan sat on the orange couch, sun glasses on and water guns filled with Logan's death potion in hand. They were waiting for the guys to either come back, or contact them in some way.

Finally Kendall sent Carlos a text.

Where ya at?

-Kendall

Carlos smiled evilly, looking at Logan, who smirked back. Carlos hit the reply button and typed his message

2J, get up here NOW!

-Carlos

"You ready to get deathy?" Carlos asked, earning a smirk from Logan. "Eh, I couldn't think of anything else-"

Logan cut off Carlos as he heard talking out in the hall. "Get in positions!" He yelled-whispered. He and Carlos jumped up from the couch and got in their places in front of the door, waiting for Kendall and James to come in.

As soon as the other two boys walked hey walked into the apartment and were quickly attacked by Logan and Carlos, who were laughing evilly as they covered Kendall and James in their 'potion.'

"Dudes, what the heck?" Kendall yelled.

"Oh god, what is that smell?" James yelled, smelling his shirt.

"Death!" Logan and Carlos yelled, fist bumping. James and Kendall looked at them confused before going into their bedrooms to change out of there swimsuits.

Carlos watched them leave then looked at Logan. "You said the smell would last all week, right?" He asked.

Logan nodded; proud one of his pranks hadn't back-fired. "If I did it right."

"You know we have to share rooms with them, right?" Carlos asked.

Logan stood frozen for a second, before shrugging. "Oh well. Mischief managed." Carlos busted up at Logan's corny joke.

Yep, that was kind of bad.

Okay, so updates are gonna be less frequent than when they were before because school has started. But, I write when possible and I have a lot of chapters that are close to being completed, so I will work on those and hopefully I will update as late as next weekend.

Ella!

P.s. Who doesn't hear Mischief Managed and think of Harry Potter?
