NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month. A fanfiction is not a novel and writing three separate stories in one-shots is not a novel, either. But, it's up to me and this is what I want to do. I hope this keeps my creative juices flowing all month. I am working on three stories and since I don't do Sundays or Thanksgiving that should be eight one-shots each with one getting an extra, if all goes well. Good luck to me! Check out my profile for a more detailed explanation.

Big Time Halloween Party

Logan sat on Camille's bed as Jo worked on her makeup. She had already done him up to look like a vampire. Not just any vampire. Dracula. Not just any Dracula. Dr. Acula. Yes, Logan was a vampire doctor. Jo was currently finishing up the makeup on his sexy vampire assistant.

"OK, Logan, I need you to put your fangs right here." Jo pointed to a spot on the right side of Camille's neck.

"I vant to suck your blood," Logan spoke in a bad imitation of a Dracula accent.

"That tickles," Camille giggled when Logan's fangs touched her skin.

Jo marked where each fang touch Camille's neck and then went to work making it look like he really did suck her blood.

"Perfect," Logan commented when Camille stood up to show off Jo's work. "Makes me vant to suck your neck some more." He put his arms around his girlfriend.

"Enough, you two. I need to change and then I'll meet you with everyone else down in the lobby."

The four guys and their girlfriends were all going trick-or-treating around Palm Woods on that 31st of October also known as Halloween.

Just kidding.

With Bitters's approval, they were actually hosting and performing at a Halloween party that covered both the pool area and the lobby. Bitters's approval was contingent on him being able to make balloon animals (and Big Time Rush autographing 100 photos that he "promised" not to sell online).

Dr. Acula, wearing a white doctor's coat, a stethoscope as well as a "bloody" surgeon mask hanging around his neck and a head mirror, his face painted a pale white, and sporting fangs, led his vampire nurse, wearing a sexy white nurse's outfit, a white nurse's hat, carrying three tongue depressors in her pocket for some reason, pale white makeup on her face, fang marks on her neck, and her own set of fangs, down to the lobby to meet up with the rest of the guys and girls.

The lobby was decorated with spider webs; orange, purple, and black balloons and streamers; jack-o-lanterns; an animated bat greeted people getting off the elevator while an animated werewolf greeted those coming in from the pool and an animated witch greeted those coming in the front door. Sitting on Bitter's desk was a huge brown bowl of candy when someone reached in it screamed and sometimes grabbed their hand. It was a fright! The lights were dimmed. Candles were lit. Music was spooky. The lobby was ready for the party.

"Ow," Kendall exclaimed as he and Jo stepped off the elevator into the highly decorated lobby. "Why are we going barefoot anyway?"

"It's part of our costumes. We're country bumpkins and everyone knows a true country boy or girl goes barefoot as much as possible," Jo explained.

"I think I stepped on a tack." Kendall lifted his foot to reveal nothing.

"Stop your complaining."

Since Jo was from North Carolina the couple decided to go as something southern and Jo came up with the idea of the country bumpkin. Each wore a straw hat. Kendall had on a plaid shirt and overalls. Jo wore a plaid shirt tied at the waist to reveal her belly button and raggedy denim cut-offs. Her hair was in pigtails. Neither wore shoes on their feet. Each had a couple teeth blacked out. Kendall chose his two middle teeth and Jo chose a bottom right one and a top left one. Freckles dotted across her nose.

"Hey, you girls did a great job with the lobby."

"And you guys did a great job with the pool."

"Thank you."

The pool area was decorated much like the lobby. There were spider webs everywhere with candles glowing giving off an eerie feel. The pool was filled with black, orange, and purple balloons. Animated ghost were set up against one wall and a bandstand was set up near the fire pit. More jack-o-lanterns were scattered over the place. Whoever carved them had a marvelous and busy time. Currently, a DJ was over there playing canned music, but later in the night Big Time Rush would take the stage for a few tunes.

"Why didn't you dress up, Kendall?" James asked climbing off the ladder he'd used to hang the last streamer. He was wearing a white t-shirt, black leather jacket, black leather pants, and black leather biker boots. Sitting in a pool chair was a black biker helmet that belonged to him.

Kendall gave him a sarcastic laugh.

"Where's Lucy?" Jo asked.

James pointed to the DJ table where Lucy, dressed practically identical to James which Jo thought didn't really look much like a costume, manned the music.

"I'm a Biker Dude and she's my babe," James said.

The lobby and pool area were fairly empty as the party had only just begun, but slowly more people gathered. There were ghosts and goblins, ghoulies and witches, hippies and beatniks, and even someone dressed up as Bitters.

"Who are you supposed to be?" James asked when Katie walked into the pool area fully decked out in a pair of tight black jeans, white v-neck t-shirt, black vest, black Converses, and a short brown wig parted on the right side with side-swept bangs.

"See my pretty face." She wiggled her fingers in front of said face.

"I don't get it."

"Have you tried any of my Barracuda Man Spray?" She waggled her eyebrows.

"You wear 'Cuda, too? I thought that was just for men."

"She's you, you dingbat!" Lucy appeared by his side and playfully slapped James's arm.

"I don't get it."

Katie rolled her eyes.

"Hey, if you're here who's doing the music?" James asked changing the subject.

"Some guy dressed up as a hippie. He offered and I want to hang out with you." She pointed to the long haired hippie guy with a guitar hanging off one shoulder.

"Hey, that's Guitar Dude! We haven't seen him in…" James counted on his fingers, "a long time."

"Whoever it is allows me to dance with you," Lucy suggestively wrapped her arms around her Biker Dude.

"Hey, James," Carlos wearing a brown bird costume with a redbreast greeted his best friend's younger sibling as he entered the party area. Finding the snack table he grabbed a handful of candy corn and stuffed his beak, I mean mouth.

"Carlos!" Alexa dressed as Batman, well Batgirl, whined as she found her boyfriend. "You were supposed to come as Robin!"

"I did." He moved his hands up and down indicating his bird costume.

"No. You came as a robin not Robin, Batman's sidekick. I thought we decided I would be coming as Batman and you would be my sidekick, Robin."

"No. You told me I should come as robin so I went to the store and got a robin costume."

"Next year we're picking out costumes together." She grabbed her bird, fit her head inside his beak, and kissed him.

In the corner opposite the DJ stand Bitters, dressed as a clown, was set up eating popcorn and making not only balloon animals, but balloon other things. He made balloon party hats for The Jennifers who had come as princesses each one trying to outdo the other on the fanciness of their costume. He made a balloon sword for the guy dressed as a knight. He already had a plastic sword but he begrudgingly took the red balloon one from Bitters. When Jo and Kendall walked by he made Jo another pink poodle.

"Looks like this party is a success," Camille commented later that night. Kendall, James, Logan, Carlos, Alexa, Lucy, and Jo sat with her around the bonfire.

"The Hollywood Super Party Kings of Hollywood strike again!" James and Carlos fist bumped.

"You said Hollywood twice," Lucy, Camille, and Jo said.

"You bet we did."

"Look," Jo pretended to check the watch she was not wearing, "it's time for the boys to perform."

Logan whispered something in Camille's ear before she and Jo went to the stage to announce their guys. Guitar Dude turned off the music and handed the girls microphones.

"And now it's time for the best part of the evening," Camille said.

"A performance by our favorite guys, Big Time Rush!" Jo exclaimed.

"But first," Camille kept going. "A fun duet between James Diamond and Lucy Stone!"

Lucy rapidly shook her head. She hadn't prepared anything and she didn't have her guitar. James pulled her up onstage anyway. Camille handed James her mike and Jo handed hers to Lucy.

"I know you know this song." James nodded to Guitar Dude who put on the music track. "I was working in my lab late one night," he sang.

Lucy rolled her eyes and smirked.

"When my eyes beheld an eerie sight," she joined in.

"For my monster from his slab began to rise

And suddenly to my surprise," they sang together.

"He did the mash," the crowd joined in. "He did the Monster Mash."

"The Monster Mash," Lucy sang.

"It was a graveyard smash.

He did the mash.

It caught on in a flash.

He did the mash.

He did the monster mash."

At the end of the song the crowd cheered. James grabbed Lucy and pulled her into a deep and passionate kiss.

"Oooooh!" The boys cheered earning elbows to the side by their girlfriends.

Jo and Lucy ran onto the stage taking the mikes from the kissing couple who had stopped kissing.

"And now it's time for the main event of the evening," Camille said.

"This time I'm positive we're getting a performance by our favorite guys, Big Time Rush, unless Carlos wants to perform with Alexa?" Carlos shook his head. "And Kendall's made no motion about performing with me so I think we're all good there."

"Hey, what about me and Logan?"

Logan vehemently shook his head causing Camille to frown.

"Nothing planned," he mouthed quickly trying to cover his behind.

"Give it up for Big Time Rush!" Jo and Camille said together getting the audience to give a round of applause.

The boys quickly hopped up on stage.

"We didn't think this through," Logan hissed. "I can't sing with fangs."

"And I can't dance dressed as a bird," Carlos added.

"Turn around," Kendall commanded.

Doing so the boys turned from their Halloween costumes into hot boy band members.

"Works every time," Kendall said.

Picture this, first kiss in the moonlight
Slow dance, cover band playing all night
Meant to be, cool breeze feeling so right
Picture this, picture this
Picture this, holding hands on the boardwalk
Perfect date, I'm late, making small talk
Arcade, playing games you can win it all
Picture this, picture this

When the guys finished the song "Picture This", they turned around again and returned to their Halloween costumes. They hopped off the stage and went to their girls.

"What was that about you not wanting to perform with me?" Camille questioned Logan with her arms folded.

"I—I—I—"

"Busted!"

Please don't think I'm making fun of southerners with Jo and Kendall's costumes. I am a southerner and proud of it (1/2 life in GA, ¼ in NC, and ¼ in SC). I just thought Jo should contribute to the costume and came up with a comical look at southerners without going the redneck route.

I am gladly open to suggestions for one-shots. I do not have every day planned so any help will be greatly appreciated.
