(A/N): Okay, so, I had this done yesterday, but then I got distracted by accidently forgetting to start dinner and my sisters yelling at me for it… But then we got take-out so it was all good. I already have a portion of the next one done, so I'll probably be able to post it later and this time, I hope I can do that. Anyways, thank you to oOo KitKat oOo, xSuperChickx, and Milkamoo97 for your reviews! I'd also like to thank treehillgirl1 who posted a review, but it looks like it might have been posted before you could finish…. I don't own Big Time Rush nor do I own the episode Big Time Party which this chapter and the next are based off of.

Don't forget to vote and enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 17: Stop And Stare

"How do we get her to wake up?" Logan asked his friends. They were still standing in front of the super party fun box and Katrina was unconscious in Logan's arms.

"You could always try the fairy tale way," James suggested, "You know, kiss her awake." He, Kendall and Carlos smirked at Logan who suddenly looked embarrassed.

"Oh, um uh, I, bleep blop bloop," Logan couldn't seem to form a sentence so he settled on laughing nervously. He did look down at her as though considering the thought. Walking over to the couch, he put her down gently. James locked up the box and began to move it out of the way while Kendall and Carlos watched as Logan tucked a loose strand of hair behind the unconscious girl's ear.

All thoughts were interrupted when Mrs. Knight walked into the room with Katie, "Hey!" The boys went up to her. "I'm taking Katie on a day trip. We'll be back late."

"We're going to Vegas!" Katie exclaimed.

"San Diego," Mrs. Knight corrected.

"But I get to drive," Katie held up the keys to Mrs. Knight's rental van. Mrs. Knight took them back. Before anyone could say anything else, Katie continued, "What's up with Katrina?" Everyone looked at the passed out teen sprawled out on the couch.

"She might have been knocked unconscious," Logan told them.

"Oh," Katie looked surprised, "I thought that she might have passed out from exhaustion. She doesn't get much sleep. Wakes up a lot with nightmares. Sometimes I hear her mumbling in her sleep about car crashes, fires and gun shots. Other times, she says stuff about fog and shirtless guys." The boys smirked at this. "Once I heard her mention a guy's name, I think it was Evan, if that makes any sense." The guys' smirks disappeared before they turned to look at the teen girl.

"Who's Evan?" They asked. She didn't move.

Katie sighed, "I'll wake her up." She walked over to Katrina and leaned down to whisper something in the teen girl's ear. Then, she stepped away so she and Katrina were a good distance apart. The boys watched with curiosity etched on their faces.

Suddenly, Katrina twitched so much that she fell off the couch. She looked up at the six people watching her. Blowing the hair out of her face, she spoke, "No, I don't."

Shaking her head, Katie stood by her mother's side as Katrina got up and joined the boys.

"What did she tell you?" Carlos asked Katrina.

"That's none of your business," Katie snapped.

"Well, then," Kendall looked over at his mom, "Hey Mom. Would you mind if-"

"No parties," Mrs. Knight interrupted. The boys looked defeated while Katrina tried to fix her hair. "It's a Palm Woods rule. And if we get another strike, Bitters kicks us out. Remember?" The boys looked to the side as they put their hands to their chins. Surprisingly, Katrina joined them.

A gigantic pillow fight was going on in the Palm Woods lobby.

Mr. Bitters stepped forward, "Organizing a Palm Woods wide extreme pillow fight, strike one!" A pillow hit him before the pillow fight continued.

Suddenly, the elevators dinged, opened and Katrina stepped out. She looked over the scene, "What the hell?"

"Come join us Katrina!" Carlos called out to her.

"How about no?" Katrina told him. James skipped over to her and hit her with a pillow.

Katrina glared at him before grabbing a pillow from a nearby person, "I'm going to mess up that hair of yours, Diamond." James shrieked and ran off with Katrina chasing after him.

The boys were laughing at the octopus that had taken up residence in the pool.

Mr. Bitters came up to them again, "Putting a giant octopus in the Palm Woods pool, strike two!" And then he left the scene.

Katrina hesitantly stepped forward, "How did you get a giant octopus anyways?"

"I know a guy," Carlos shrugged as if it was no big deal.

She raised an eyebrow at this, "If I ever need anything outrageous, I'm coming to you first." With that, she walked away, leaving Carlos smiling and the others confused.

"Right," The boys remembered simultaneously.

Katrina shivered, "I really have been around you guys too long if I'm joining your joint flashbacks."

Katie opened the door and pointed to the two X's on it. "But did he have to put them on our door?" She walked down the hallway.

Mrs. Knight turned back to the teens, "Be good." Kendall stepped forward and kissed his mom's cheek. Katrina had looked away at this. Mrs. Knight gave all of them a warning look, "I mean it." She left, closing the door behind her.

Kendall turned back to his friends. James spoke before anyone else, "We have to throw a party. We're teenagers! If we don't party, we could die."

"I don't need a party," Katrina shrugged. They looked at her like she had just said that she was an alien.

"That's because you work all the time!" James reminded her. For some reason, this made Katrina mad.

Carlos pumped his hands in the air, chanting, "Party! Party!"

"We can't party at the Palm Woods," Kendall told them. Logan, James and Carlos looked disappointed again. "But," Their faces lit up. "There's nothing saying we couldn't have a 'get together'." Katrina facepalmed.

"Or," Logan joined in, stepping over to Kendall's side, "A social gathering."

"Social gathering!" James and Carlos began to dance. "Social gathering!" Katrina shook her head.

"Katrina," Logan addressed her, "If you don't want to be here, then go."

She sighed, "I can't. Work's closed due to Gustavo's party and Brandon's been in the mood for a party anyways. I already promised him one to celebrate the opening of Penny's Pet Care headquarters."

"Then you should join us," Kendall suggested, "It won't be a party, but a celebration."

"Celebration!" James and Carlos picked this up for their chant as they danced to it too, "Celebration!"

Katrina nodded so Kendall went into his leader role, "James, Carlos. You two transform 2J into a cool club atmosphere. And get some snacks and sodies." James and Carlos pulled a 2 liter bottle of soda and a bag of chips out of nowhere making Katrina go wide eyed. "Katrina, you might want to watch them."

"Yeah, I probably should." She was looking around, trying to figure out where the boys got the soda and chips from.

"And we keep the guest list short," Logan warned them, "Say, three people each which is not a party, but a get together."

Carlos and James began dancing again, "Get together! Get together!"

They stopped when Kendall spoke again, "And I'm going down to the pool right now and invite Jo cause I kinda got a thing for her." That said, he grabbed something and left.

"Who's Jo?" Katrina asked the other three.

"The girl Kendall likes," Logan answered because James and Carlos ran off to prepare the apartment. "You'll meet her tonight."

"Right," Katrina nodded her head, "Will Camille come too?"

"Probably," Logan shrugged, but Katrina tensed at this.

"I should let Brandon know about the social gathering," Katrina pulled out her cell phone.

"And I should let my guests know," Logan told her, but he didn't move.

"Um," Katrina gave him an awkward smile, "I'll take this in the other room." She walked away, leaving Logan staring after her. Once the door shut behind her, he sighed.

"If you were waiting for a moment to ask Katrina out," Carlos called out from the kitchen, "That was it." Logan looked over at the two boys watching him.

"Maybe I'm waiting until the get together!" Logan defended himself.

"Dude," James piped up, "What about Camille?"

"Two girls in love with you at once," Carlos noted, "You're lucky."

"Katrina doesn't love me," Logan insisted.

"Yes she does!" Both Carlos and James told him.

Logan just shook his head, "I've got to go invite people." With that, he left the room.

When Katrina came back in the room, James and Carlos were almost done setting up. They had shopping bags near them and as soon as Katrina came in their view, they smiled at her.

"What?" She asked. They continued their smiling. Katrina backed up slowly, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"What were you planning on wearing to the social gathering?" James spoke up.

"I was just going to wear this," Katrina held out her hands so they could see her outfit better. It was her usual uniform of shorts and a t-shirt that advertised her business. That day, her shirt was green.

"No no no," Carlos told her, "Wearing that is social suicide."

Katrina looked insulted, "I don't have anything else to wear!"

"We know," They chimed.

"That's why we bought you a couple outfits too," James added. He pulled a box out of one of the shopping bags and shoved it into her arms. "How else are you going to demand Logan's attention?"

"You didn't have to do this," Katrina insisted, but they gestured for her to open it. She did and furrowed her brow. "NO!" She pulled out a sequined pink tube top and a very very short skirt.

"Well why not?" James looked very upset at this as he stomped his foot.

"Because I'll be gaining attention for all the wrong reasons."

"It's fine, Katrina," Carlos told her, grabbing the box from her. He pulled out another one and handed it to her. "We got another one just in case."

Katrina raised an eyebrow, but opened the second box. "Hey, this isn't that bad."

"So you'll wear it?" James asked.

Katrina closed the box and stuffed it into James's arms. "I think I'll stick with what I'm wearing."

Before either boy could say anything, Katrina walked off.

"Darn it!" James yelled out, "She would have looked hot in that one."

"Let's just finish getting ready," Carlos picked up the shopping bags and the boys ran off to change.

Kendall, Logan and Katrina stared at the boys wearing animal print suits.

"They've gone mad," Katrina deduced. Carlos and James turned to the other three teenagers.

"Guys," Kendall began, "It's just a small gathering get together."

"Dude, we're not in Minnesota anymore," James explained, "This is the big leagues."

"Our big time Hollywood party cred starts tonight," Carlos continued. He and James started making hand gestures with their words. "You start small, but you start hot."

"And before you know it," James went on, "We'll be known as the Hollywood Super Party Kings of Hollywood." Both he and Carlos whooped twice.

"You said Hollywood twice," Logan and Katrina pointed out. They glanced at each other for a second before going back to looking at the party obsessed boys.

"You bet I did," James told them. Katrina and Logan stared, confused.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang and James and Carlos ran to answer it.

James opened the door, greeting the people, "Welcome to the get together."

"Snacks to the left," Carlos began the directions, "Dance floor straight ahead and good times all around!"

Katrina watched as Camille and another girl that she assumed was Jo walked in. Logan had gone into the kitchen and Kendall had gone to the VIP area so Katrina found herself alone. She hid over by the slide to spy on the two new girls.

James and Carlos stepped in front of them and Camille spoke first, "Hey! Where's Logan?" The boys pointed to the kitchen and Katrina scowled as Camille ran off.

"And you can find Kendall that way," James told the blonde girl as he and Carlos gestured toward the VIP area.

"Thank you." She began walking toward Kendall. However, she stopped when she noticed Katrina. "Hi! I don't think I've seen you around before. I'm Jo."

"I'm Katrina."

"Oh, the guys have told me about you. You're the one in charge of Penny's Pet Care, right?"

"Right."

"So, which of them do you have a crush on?"

"Who said that I have a crush on them?" Katrina began to laugh nervously, but Jo could tell that Katrina was looking over at Logan in the kitchen.

"I would stay away from Logan," Jo warned, getting Katrina's attention. "Camille is very possessive. She told me that Logan was hers." Katrina didn't get to speak because Jo walked over to where Kendall was standing in the VIP area.

Katrina didn't stay alone for long because Brandon appeared by her side. "Hey! Why aren't you on the dance floor with Logan?"

"Because he's got a girl already." She pointed at the kitchen where Camille had pulled Logan into her arms.

"Huh," Brandon looked stumped, "Then let's go make him jealous by hitting the dance floor."

"Brandon, he knows you're gay," Katrina reminded him, "You're not going to make him jealous."

"But James and Carlos are both straight," Brandon suggested, "Why not dance with one of them? Or even both of them?"

Katrina just rolled her eyes, "I need some sugar."

"I don't think-" Brandon was cut off by Katrina's glare.

"I know you have some," Katrina accused. Brandon sighed and then pulled out a bag of Skittles for her. She grabbed them and ran off.

Katrina watched the events take place from the balcony, munching on the Skittles. Each one was making her feel bolder and by the time that Mercedes had shown up to the party, she had enough.

"Oh, it's on," Katrina hissed. She slid down the slide and danced over to James and Carlos. They looked surprised to see her.

"Hey Katrina," Carlos greeted her. "What's up?"

"Where's that second outfit?" Katrina got right to the point.

The boys shared a knowing look before James told her, "It's in my room."

"Thanks!" Katrina danced away.

"Is it just me or does she seem different?" Carlos asked James.

"Yeah," James noted, "But it's probably nothing."

"This was supposed to be a small gathering," Kendall told James and Carlos who were on either side of him, "And now it's an uncontrollable party that gets us kicked out of the Palm Woods!" All three of them were looking around 2J. It was filled with dancing teens. There wasn't much room in the apartment.

Suddenly, they heard "OPA!" coming from behind them. They turned to see Russian acrobats come into the apartment.

"Serge! Irena!" Carlos greeted them.

"You have Russian acrobats in your contact list?" Kendall looked shocked.

"I'm a people person," Carlos explained.

"Emergency party plan," Kendall told them, "I'm going to go get my date, who doesn't like hockey!" Carlos and James did a spit take with their drinks. "I know, right! And go downstairs and keep an eye on Bitters so we don't get our third strike-"

Kendall was about to continue when the music suddenly changed to something slow and sultry. The crowd parted to reveal that the door to the bedrooms was open and someone was standing in the doorway. Mouths were agape at the girl who began to walk slowly down the pathway between the parted people. James's, Carlos's and Kendall's jaws dropped at the smirking girl heading for them. Not used to seeing her wearing something other than her advertising t-shirts made them have to have a second look to be sure. It was Katrina.

She was wearing a zebra print dress that ended just above the middle of her thigh. It had one thick strap along the right shoulder, but no strap on the other one. The dress hugged the girl in all the right places, making the boys in the crowd whistle as her hips swayed while she walked. Her heels were high, but she walked as confident in them as if they were sneakers. The heels that strapped her feet in were black, but underneath it was white. Her chocolate colored hair with the blonde streaks was half up, falling over top of a hair clip that gave her hair a bump in the back. A couple strands were loose in the front to frame her face. Her blue eyes shined bright through the smoky make-up around them that looked as though it was done by a professional. She had some black and white bracelets that matched the black and white beaded necklace around her neck. Somehow, her hair never seemed to get tangled with the dangling earrings she had on that were made of three silver metal feathers and one white real one each. Her red lips, being the only color in her outfit, showed bright as she smirked at the staring boys in front of her.

Katrina stopped at the end of the pathway, right in front of the boys, and took a pose. Her smirk got larger when they stayed frozen in shock.

"Do you remember when Griffin said that my siblings and I were on our way to stardom before the accident?" Katrina spoke up at last. They could barely nod. "Well, I was on my way to being a model." The cups that James and Carlos were holding dropped to the floor.

(A/N): Woah. Katrina got a makeover! Didn't see that coming, did you? What's going to happen now? What would happen if she had even more sugar? Would she be bold enough to, say, take on Camille? Find out in the next one! Hint: it's got a shocker to it! Also, I've noticed that you guys didn't like my author's note before, so I'm going to be nice now and pull out a few plot twists. Katrina won't end up with the possible OC except for at the beginning of the second season if he's voted in. She also won't end up with Kendall. Although I could probably write it, I'm not feeling that couple. The same with Katrina and Carlos. It's not going to happen. Maybe I'll add an OC for one of them later, but not now. Notice I didn't deny James or Logan. I still haven't decided on which one yet. We're getting closer to where Katrina reveals her past and I still want there to be twists, so that's it. I should stop my rambling now.

And here are the choices for the voting contest again:

1. A girl bully.

2. A boyfriend for Brandon.

3. A stray animal.

4. A boyfriend for Katrina.
