A/N: Hiya people!

First of all, I want to say, I'm sorry. I know I couldn't update yesterday like I'd promised BUT my school's had this Leadership Seminar I've had to attend both yesterday AND today PLUS I had my last exam in my French classes today to pass to Niveau 3-this is to say Level 3, lol. SO, I've had a lot more activities in my agenda than I'd originally envisioned.

SO, for the sake of not losing any more time, I am sorry, this chapter will NOT include my normal shout outs section, I just don't have the time guys.

IF you reviewed however, know that you are awesome, that I appreciate like you have no idea and YOU are the main motivation and the reason this is up here at all.

This is for you guys!

Enjoy,

Cheers,

Franshes

Ch. 22: Welcome to Rome, Big Time!

"Wow…I can't believe our time in Paris passed so quickly!" Carlos said, gazing longingly out the plane's window.

"I can't either," Logan said, hugging Carlos to him "But cheer up! Rome's cool too!"

"I'll have so many good memories of Paris," James said as he too gazed out longingly the window before glancing down to the engagement ring on his left hand.

Kendall smiled before extending a hand to caress James' hair.

"We all have them, baby, but Logan's right…Rome will be a new adventure and, besides, you know…even after all this traveling is over, there's still an even more exciting event waiting for us back home…"he said.

James rolled his eyes.

"You know, planning a wedding is not ALL fun and games right?" he said "I've heard from some people that it can be really stressful…"

"Did your mom tell you that?" Logan asked with a smirk.

"Yeah," James admitted.

The other three laughed.

"So, James," Kendall said, smiling at his boyfriend "I haven't really been able to talk with your mom about all this…what do you think? Will she be waiting for me with a gun at the airport?"

James laughed.

"She's fine with it, she told me that when I spoke to her about it on the phone, I've told you that before…" James said, grabbing Kendall's hand "She knew it was coming, remember? She was the first one to admit we were both going to get married someday…"

"She probably meant it as a joke James," Carlos said "Or if not, she probably wasn't expecting it while you were still seventeen…"

"But I won't be, for long," James said proudly "I'm turning eighteen in two weeks' time…"

"Yeah, that's right…speaking about that. How do you want to celebrate it, Jamie?" Kendall asked, pulling his boyfriend in for a hug "Eighteen…it's an important birthday after all…"

"Well, I don't care, so long as my two best friends and my awesome fiancé are there to celebrate it with me…" James said, before his eyes lit up and he raised his eyebrows suggestively "We might even have some fun time together afterwards…"

"Sounds cool," Logan said, grinning.

"Looking forward to it," Carlos said with a nod.

Kendall just winked at James who blushed.

"Guys," Logan said, growing serious "I need to speak to you two about something important, however,"

"What is it, Logan?" Kendall asked, snapping into leader mode.

"Well," Logan bit his lip nervously "As you guys know…the four of us have sort of, been playing with each other for the last couple of weeks…and I was wondering, I mean, I love our time together but…you know, you guys ARE getting married so…how will this affect our relationship?"

"Relationship?" James said sharply, sitting upright "Logan, there IS no relationship. You know that. Before we began all this we thought you guys had it very clear, you and Carlos were a couple, me and Kendall were another. We could share one another amongst ourselves but…the couples would remain the same. I mean…I love you guys, but just not in THAT way…"

Kendall also looked apprehensive.

"No, we know that," Carlos said quickly "What Logan meant, I'm sure is, well…after you guys get married will we still be able to- have fun- with each other from time to time or will these meetings have to stop?"

Both James' and Kendall's faces visibly relaxed at this.

"Oh, that," Kendall said "Well…personally I see no reason why being married should change the fact that we can have fun together- in all senses- I mean, we're still going to hang out together, work together, go on tours and trips together, why shouldn't we- you know- be together as well?"

Carlos and Logan smiled, relieved.

"Guys, we're here…" Katie said looking up from her iPad as they all felt the plane begin to descend "And next time…discuss these things in private, will you? I really didn't have to know what you guys are doing behind closed doors! You're just lucky Gustavo and Kelly are in another cabin in this jet and that mom's asleep!"

"You'd already caught us before, baby sister," Kendall said "Why is hearing about it worse than seeing it?"

"It just is…I didn't need confirmation of my theory," Katie said with a shudder.

The four boys blushed but smiled nonetheless.

Rome was going to be fun!

Nighttime in Rome...

"Wow, this place is cool!" James said, admiring the view. Night was already falling in Rome and the many antique-looking buildings were illuminated by a soft golden light. The place was also full of fountains and gardens blossoming with different kinds of flowers were located practically everywhere.

A man approached them.

"Buona sera, Big Time Rush mi chiamo Gianluca, e io sarò il vostro autista a Roma," he said, extending a hand towards Kendall who shook it awkwardly (A/N: Know that I have no clue about how to speak italian, and the only languages I may be held accountable for are english, spanish, and a bit of french, any italian errors, blame Google translate)

"Um...Logan?" he said, turning to the smartest BTR member for help but Logan shrugged.

"Don't look at me," he said helplessly "I don't know italian,"

"He said his name's Gianluca and that he'll be our driver here in Rome," Katie said nonchalantly, coming from behind them.

"You know italian?" Kendall exclaimed, looking at his sister, impressed.

"I've been taking some online courses," Katie said before turning to the driver and briefly asking him in italian if he spoke english.

The man nodded and smiled at them kindly.

"Let me take you all to your hotel to rest now," he said in heavily accented english.

"Ah, yes, that sounds wonderful! I'm TIRED!" Gustavo said, coming from behind them.

"Me-me too..." Mama Knight said trying in vain to suppress a yawn.

Kelly nodded tiredly beside them.

"We should go to bed right away," Logan said smartly "That way we'll be well-rested for tomorrow and can go sight-seeing for a little while. I really want to go see the Roman Colosseum!"

The guys nodded tiredly, not wanting to contraddict Logan and have to listen to him ranting longer than necessary...

At the hotel...

"What do you mean there are only three rooms available?" Gustavo thundered at the poor hotel's receptionist who stammered an apology.

Gustavo huffed and argued with the woman for a while longer before giving up and giving the group a frown.

"What's wrong?" Kendall asked, reading Gustavo's look.

"The hotel made a mistake and only booked us three rooms..." Gustavo grumbled "So that basically means we have no place to sleep while we're here! Unless, of course, we pay for other rooms but we can't afford these Roman prices! Ah!"

"Relax Gustavo," Kendall said quietly "That only means we'll have to share..."

"With only three rooms available, and 8 of us, how does the math work out, genius?" Logan muttered.

"Simple enough," Kendall replied "You, Carlos, James, and I will share a room...ordering an extra bed for you two is bound to be less costly than a whole room. Mom, Katie, and Kelly can share another and Gustavo can have one for himself..."

"Nah, we'll be too cramped if I share with your family," Kelly said "It's alright, I can share with Gustavo..."

Gustavo blushed lightly but nodded nonetheless.

"It's set then," he said "Just let me make the necesary arrangements to get you guys that extra bed..."

"Well this should be interesting," James mused, his eyes sparkling with newfound mischief.

Discreetly, his hand made its way to Carlos and then slapped his ass playfully, making Carlos yelp in surprise and Kendall smirk knowingly.

Logan sighed before smiling at his boyfriend and best friends.

James was right...this would be interesting indeed.

A/N: Okay, so I know this wasn't particularly interesting and it's sort of a filler and probably wasn't worth the wait BUT I tried my best to make it at least a bit humorous and I did have to have the guys arrive in Rome so...what new adventures await for the guys in here? And the four of them are sharing a bedroom! Fun times ahead anyone?

Things are about to get...interesting indeed.

By the way, do NOT be fooled, James' mother's reaction was never intended to be the dramatic one, you'll see what I mean...later on ahead. For now, be expecting a new character soon...SuperNeos2, you know what I'm talking about.

Please please please review!

Next chapter will most definitely be up by next Friday AND will include the shout outs, again, I'm sorry you guys...

But DO let me know what you guys thought of the chapter AND about you guys' suspicions for the drama brewing ahead...

Cheers,
