(A/N): I CAN EXPLAIN ABOUT THE WAIT! On Friday, I wrote all day, but I got about halfway through and it was eleven at night, so I figured that I could finish it up the next day. Well, I had forgotten that I had a bridal shower to go to (my cousin's) and then a 21st birthday party to go to (my friend's), so I didn't get much done yesterday. SO, I then had to finish it today!

On another note, IT'S TIME TO CELEBRATE! Not only has this reached TWENTY chapters, but it's gotten over FIFTY reviews! You guys are all awesome! So, I decided to give you a couple gifts! The first one is in the story (which is why it's so long) and the second one is in the author's note at the end!

Thank you to Milkamoo97, treehillgirl1, and jihanbtr for your reviews! I did not spend these last couple days finding a way to own Big Time Rush, so I still don't own them. I also didn't write the episode, Big Time Jobs that this chapter is based off of.

Don't forget to vote and enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 20: Sometimes Acting Is The Only Way

The next day, Katrina was walking a fully grown Saint Bernard named Jack. She had to keep her attention on him because he had the tendency to be strong and liked to pull. Katrina was holding onto the leash with two hands so he wouldn't overpower her. Walking past the Palm Woods, she heard screaming.

"Oh no," Katrina pulled Jack to a stop with difficulty, "I recognize those screams." She turned her head just in time to see the source of the screams running around the corner. James, Logan, Kendall and Carlos didn't see her as they darted in between trash cans, completely knocking an innocent bystander over. They ran inside.

Suddenly, she heard a woof. She looked down and found Jack staring at where the boys had disappeared.

"Oh no," Katrina repeated right before Jack went sprinting off after them. Katrina had to run at full speed to keep up. "I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT THE RETRACTABLE LEASH!" It must have been a sight for everyone else, watching as four boys ran through the pool area seemingly being chased by a Saint Bernard that was practically pulling a screaming teen girl.

The boys ran through the open doors into the lobby and dived across the front desk, someone hitting the bell. Jack came running in, but slid to a stop on the carpet. Katrina, unable to stop, continued running straight into the desk, somehow flipping over it onto the boys and Mr. Bitters. Six ows came from behind the desk.

Carlos, James, Kendall and Logan popped up from behind it and looked over at Katie who was holding a homemade trophy. They were wearing various items that used to be on the desk.

"It's Carlos!" Katie announced causing the Latino boy to celebrate while the others looked disappointed. Carlos jumped over the desk, ran over to grab the trophy and began to kiss it.

Mr. Bitters appeared and gained everyone's attention, "YOU ARE ALL GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!"

The boys looked around sheepishly before Kendall noticed something, "Why is there a dog staring at us?" The entire lobby looked over at the sitting Saint Bernard.

As if to answer his question, there was a groan and Katrina popped up, holding her head, "Why is it that whenever I'm around you guys, I either get in trouble or I get hurt?"

"In this case, it's both," Carlos told her as though it might have been a good thing. Since Katrina was not within hitting distance of him, she hit the closest one she could, which happened to be James.

"Ow!" James glared at her. She glared back and he backed down.

"I NEED TO GET PAID, NOW!" Mr. Bitters yelled at the teens.

"We should get over to Rocque Records then," Logan suggested.

"Can I drop off the Saint Bernard first?" Katrina asked. The boys and Mr. Bitters nodded as she walked around the desk and grabbed the leash. She led the four boys and the manager out the door.

"TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS?" Gustavo yelled at the five teenagers on the couch, Katrina on its arm right next to James.

"And thirty cents," Mr. Bitters added. "They destroyed the Palm Woods computerized registration system, two lamps, three vases and my pants."

"You know the pants can easily be washed," Katrina tried to get the price a little lower.

"These pants are dry clean only," Mr. Bitters told her and she looked down at her fidgety hands.

"But," Carlos began his explanation, pulling out the homemade trophy, "I won the Palm Woods 500 world cup!" He screamed and then kissed his trophy. The other three acted like they didn't need it while Katrina just rolled her eyes.

Kelly walked up to Mr. Bitters, holding a check out for him, "Here you go." Mr. Bitters grabbed the check and left.

"Well," Kendall started, "Guess that settles it." The five teenagers stood up.

"No," Gustavo stopped them, "Because I'm SICK and TIRED of you DOGS and the CAT BREAKING STUFF!"

"We don't break stuff!" The boys insisted.

"I've always been the innocent bystander," Katrina held up her hands in a don't-blame-me fashion.

Suddenly, all five had a flashback of last week, during their breaks.

Katrina was watching the boys from the doorway to the practice room.

"Watch this, Katrina!" They told her as Logan, Kendall and James pulled back the swinging, circle seat that Carlos was sitting it. She watched with a smile as they pulled it as far as they could and let it go. The boys began to cheer, not realizing that it destroyed the wall. Katrina placed her hand on her mouth as she watched Kelly and a construction worker appear in the hole in the wall. Kelly ripped off a check for the guy.

Carlos, Kendall, Logan, Katrina and Kelly were listening to one of Big Time Rush's songs, making sure that it sounded okay.

"OH!" James called out as he began to skip into the room, gaining everyone's attention, "It's a fruit smoothie and it's mine, all mine!" James gave the boys a jeering smile. Logan, Carlos, Katrina and Kelly watched him with confused looks, but Kendall was giving James a fake smile.

Suddenly, Kendall's hand went up and hit the smoothie out of James's hand. It flew and splattered against one of the electrical items in the room. The liquid of the smoothie caused the box to short circuit as it skipped around the song, eventually dying out. The boys, Katrina and Kelly stared at the sparking box in horror. Kelly ripped off another check and handed it to a guy.

Logan was driving a golf cart through the pool area. Katrina was clinging onto Carlos, her eyes squeezed shut, as she screamed and he cheered in the passenger seat. Kendall and James stood on the back of the golf cart, cheering too. Logan couldn't stop the vehicle and they ran straight into a tent. That was when Kelly came walking in to stand right next to Mr. Bitters. She sighed and handed him yet another check.

"Okay, so," Kendall began, "We do put a little wear and tear on things from time to time."

"But that's showbiz, right?" James finished. All five teenagers were giving innocent smiles, hoping to get out of this.

"Wrong," Gustavo corrected. All smiles disappeared. "And it's time you take responsibility for your actions, by paying me back my TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS!"

The boys looked dumbstruck while Katrina spoke up, "Am I included in this?"

"YES!" Gustavo yelled at her and then stormed out of the room. Kelly followed him.

"Can he really force me to help pay?" Katrina was really concerned about the money. The boys looked at her and then ran after Gustavo, calling his name. Katrina followed them.

"Isn't there a cheaper way to learn responsibility?" Logan asked, "Um, like a goldfish!"

"I know someone that can get us one for free!" Katrina piped up, holding up her cell phone. The boys gestured to her as she gave Gustavo a pleading smile.

"Guys," Kelly started, "Griffin's cracking down on us for overspending and Gustavo's right. This has got to stop."

"And until you pay me back," Gustavo added, "You will not dip a toe into your beloved Palm Woods pool!"

The boys looked shocked and Katrina groaned, "But the pool is amazing!" Gustavo turned around and played a few minor keys on the piano to make a tune of suspense.

"You cannot keep us away from the world's greatest pool!" Carlos exclaimed.

"No," Gustavo told them and then pointed behind them, "But Freight Train can."

Katrina looked confused, but the boys looked behind them and found Freight Train dressed in a lifeguard outfit. They screamed, "Whoa!" and backed away. Katrina went wide-eyed in shock at the large man standing there with a clipboard.

"And you guys," Freight Train pointed to something on his clipboard, "Are on my no swim list." Gustavo and Kelly pounded knuckles.

"Gustavo, two thousand dollars?" Kendall tried to get Gustavo to see some sense. "That's four hundred dollars apiece!"

"Ooh, Kendall's good at math!" Kelly spoke sarcastically, "Well, I guess you guys are just going to have to get jobs."

The boys gasped, but Katrina raised her hand, saying, "I already have a job. It's just I can't make that much in a reasonable amount of time."

"Hey Katrina-" The boys began.

"No, I'm not hiring you," Katrina interrupted them.

"You'll have to work harder then," Gustavo was insensitive, "In fact, one of you can work off your debt for me, right here at Rocque Records. Who wants to be my production assistant? Step forward." Everyone but Carlos stepped back. Carlos realized this and looked like a scared puppy for a second. "Carlos it is." Now, Carlos just looked angry. "Now, the rest of you go get jobs and get me MY MONEY!" At this, James, Kendall, Logan and Katrina ran out of the room to escape Gustavo's wrath.

"Bio Taste Tester," Kendall was rattling off jobs he found in the classifieds in the newspaper while sitting on the couch. Logan was next to him, the laptop in his lap as he looked through it for a job. James was sitting on the other part of the L-shaped couch, looking at a newspaper too. Katrina was sitting next to him, staring at the phone in her hand. "Volcano cleaner. Dentist." He got a look of disgust as he quickly crossed it out.

"Job found!" James announced, turning the newspaper around to show the others. "Russian translator. Pays twenty bucks an hour!" Katrina would have rolled her eyes at this, but she was too concentrated on focusing on her phone to notice. She was trying to force it to ring.

"You know you have to speak Russian, right?" Logan told him.

James crumpled up the newspaper and threw it to the floor, "This is not fair. All you and I have ever done for work is shovel snow!"

"We shall never swim again," Logan noted. He and Kendall looked up to the ceiling with sad looks on their faces. James picked up a magazine and began to read it.

"RING!" Katrina suddenly yelled at her phone, "WHY WON'T ANY OF MY CUSTOMERS CALL?" This caused Kendall and Logan to snap out of their trance and look over as she sighed, placing the phone on the table.

Kendall turned his head to James, now noticing it was a magazine in his hands instead of a newspaper, "James! We're supposed to be looking for JOBS, not at fashion magazines." He went back to the newspaper.

"It's not a fashion magazine," James lied, not even looking up from the magazine. Katrina looked at him, raising her eyebrows.

"It says 'man fashion' on the cover," Logan mentioned.

James closed the magazine and looked at the front, faking confusion as though he couldn't see the obvious words, "Where, where," He began flipping the magazine, "I can't see it! I mean, where does it say it, hmm?"

"Sign spinners!" Kendall came up with an idea, causing everyone to pause, "I heard the best ones make like twenty bucks an hour!"

"Which means we can make money fast and be back in the pool in no time," Logan reasoned. He closed the laptop before he and Kendall got up off the couch and headed for the door.

When they realized they weren't being followed, they turned to look at the other teenagers on the couch. Kendall addressed them, "James! Katrina! You coming?"

"No," James answered, "I'd rather find a better job that doesn't involve work."

"They'll call," Katrina assured them, "They always call." But she was looking at her phone with doubt.

Kendall and Logan looked at each other, Logan gestured to the door, "Let's go." And they ran out.

James flipped the page and his eyes went wide at an ad, "Are you the new face of 'Cuda?"

Katrina watched as he got up and jumped in front of the mirror. He began talking to himself in a deep tone of voice. "You bet you are. Look at yourself. Who's handsomer than you?" He answered himself in his normal tone. "No one!" "Who's got more style than you?" "No one!" "Who's smarter than you?" At this, Katrina's eyebrows went into her bangs before he could respond. "Well, lots of people, but that has nothing to do with being a model."

"Actually James-" Katrina began, appearing at his side.

"Doesn't this face deserve to be the face of 'Cuda?" James interrupted her.

"There's a lot more-"

"Of course it does," James continued to ignore her, "And once I'm a model, we can do model shoots together and be a famous model couple."

"Um, James, I don't-"

"Shh," James told her, "Now I just need some help."

"Sounds like somebody needs a manager," Katie showed up on James's other side. "And I only charge forty percent for all your earnings."

"That's a ridiculous price!" Katrina commented.

"Exactly," James began in his deep voice, "Now, it's fifty-fifty or we walk!"

Katrina facepalmed, but Katie looked at the James in the mirror for a second before saying, "Deal." Katrina shook her head and walked back to the couch. "Now, we'll need new headshots, new clothes, some personal stylists and you have got to stop talking to a mirror."

Katie began to pull James toward the door, but Katrina called out, "Katie, can you come here for a second, without James." Katie held her hand up to gesture for James to stay as she walked up to Katrina.

"What's up?" Katie asked her, "Did you need a manager too?"

"No," Katrina told her, "But I do need to tell you something. When he blows this like I know he will, call up other agencies and tell them that Katrina Wolff recommends him. It'll get him some bonus points. I'm still very connected in the modeling community."

"Got it," Katie answered, "Thanks." She walked over to James, grabbed him and pulled him out the door.

Katrina sighed and then went back to the couch to sit down and stare at her phone.

Logan and Kendall walked into the apartment to find Katrina lying down on the couch, staring at her phone and chanting, "Ring. Ring. Ring." Over and over again.

Suddenly, it did ring and Katrina cheered as she answered it, "Penny's Pet Care! Katrina Wolff speaking. How may I help you?" Her face dropped as she heard the voice on the other line. "Okay. Thank you for the update. Bye." She turned off her phone.

"No jobs, huh?" Kendall asked, sympathetically.

Katrina stood up and faced them, "I'm joining you guys with sign spinning."

"Yeah, we got fired," Logan broke the bad news. "We're horrible at it."

Katrina groaned and fell down on the couch. Kendall walked over and pressed his face against the window to look at the pool. Logan grabbed a newspaper and began to read off possible jobs, "Crime Scene Cleanup?" The other two shook their heads. "Hm. Sword Swallower." A head shake from Kendall and a look of disgust from Katrina. "Oh. Chicken Inspector?" Katrina got a smile on her face.

Before she could agree, Kendall spoke up, "How much do you think we could get for our kidneys?"

"No," Logan disagreed right as there was a knock on the door. All three teenagers walked over to answer it.

A woman stood there, holding a boy by the shoulders, "I'm sorry. Is your mom here? My babysitter fell through and I need someone to watch Wendell."

Logan and Katrina looked at Kendall who spoke, "Uh, no, she's not here right now, but we could watch him."

"Yeah," Logan agreed.

"Sure," Katrina added.

"Would you?" The lady seemed desperate, "Well, what do you charge an hour? Ten dollars?"

The teens glanced at each other in shock before looking back at the woman, "Ten dollars an hour?"

"You're right, how's fifteen?"

The teens began to cough, "FIFTEEN?"

"Okay twenty! But that's as high as I ever pay for a babysitter!" The teens could only nod. She sighed, "You're lifesavers!" She kissed her child's head and let him enter the apartment, "Be good sweetie. Bye!" She waved and left, Logan closing the door. The teens turned to look at Wendell.

"I was going to watch him for free," Kendall noted.

"Yeah, but I've never babysat before," Logan admitted.

"It's not that hard," Katrina told him, "I used to babysit my little brothers and sisters."

"You have little siblings?" Logan asked.

"Two little brothers, three little sisters and one big brother." Katrina expanded.

"Big family," Kendall commented.

"We were going to get bigger," Katrina added, "My parents were planning on another."

"Wow, your parents are crazy," Logan shook his head.

"There was always someone there," Katrina shrugged, "It was nice in that way."

"So, what do we do?" Logan asked.

Wendell began jumping on the couch so Kendall told them, "He looks happy to me."

"Yeah," Logan brought them to reality, "But at this rate, we're still not going to pay Gustavo back anytime soon." Katrina looked over at Kendall and noticed that he had his planning face on. That was how they ended up in the lobby, the boys with signs, to get more kids to babysit. Katrina was sitting on one of the couches, trying to keep the kids occupied as the group got larger.

Kendall, Logan and Katrina were back in the apartment with kids running around, having as much fun as they could. Kendall was smiling at the chaos while Katrina watched with apprehension.

Logan began doing the math, "Eight kids times twenty dollars an hour means we'll have all of Gustavo's money and be back in the pool in three days." All three teenagers were run into by the kids as the kids ran around the apartment. "But you're confident we can handle eight kids, right?"

"Are you kidding?" Kendall turned to Logan right as Katrina heard a door open. "It'll be easy." Katrina looked behind her to find the door to the apartment was opened by one of the kids. "We have someone who's used to kids." Kendall pointed at the wide-eyed Katrina as she watched the kid leave the apartment.

"Uh, guys-" Katrina began.

"And cause of two little words I learned from my mama," Kendall went on, ignoring Katrina. "NAP TIME!" The kids froze staring at the three teens in charge. At that point, the kid came back into the apartment and Katrina sighed in relief.

"Nice," Logan commented.

*Five Minutes Later*

The apartment was trashed as Logan, Kendall and Katrina tried to get control of the kids, repeating 'nap time' over and over.

Suddenly, three kids jumped in front of them with Nerf guns and shot the three teenagers until they fell to the floor.

Somehow, the kids were able to get the three teens on chairs and had tied them to each other.

"I thought you had experience babysitting, Katrina," Kendall blamed her.

"Yeah, but I usually had help from Evan!" Katrina answered. "And it helped when my parents told them to listen to me!"

"Who's Evan?" Logan asked.

"My older brother," Katrina told them, "Who else would it be?"

"I thought he might have been a friend," Kendall replied.

"I thought he was an old boyfriend," Logan seemed more relaxed after this. Then he stiffened, "So, how many boyfriends have you had?"

"Seriously?" Katrina looked shocked, "We're going to talk about this now? When we're tied up?"

"I'm kind of curious too," Kendall noted.

Katrina groaned, "Fine! I've never had one. Never had a kiss either. Barely ever went on dates. My brother was super protective and my parents super strict. I had to sneak out of the house to go on dates. The only reason I was allowed to be friends with Brandon is because he's gay. Happy now? You now know my romantic history."

"You didn't have to say more than the boyfriend thing," Logan responded. There was an awkward silence between the two after that. It was a good thing that neither of them could see Kendall. He had his planning smile on as ideas ran through his head.

Logan broke the silence, "I think they're starting to settle down."

The three looked around as Katrina spoke, "No, they're not."

Suddenly, the door to the apartment opened and Mrs. Knight walked in with the groceries, staring at the trashed apartment in horror. The teens looked over at her and screamed, "HELP!"

Mrs. Knight quickly went into super mode and ran forward, placing the groceries on the table and turning on the TV. The kids immediately went quiet and sat in front of the TV to watch the kids program. Once they were distracted, Mrs. Knight began to untie the teens, demanding, "What is going on? The whole story."

Kendall explained, "We broke a few things and Gustavo is making us get jobs to pay him back."

"We were terrible at sign spinning," Logan continued, "So we decided to start a babysitting service."

"I joined in when no one would call for animal care today," Katrina added.

"And they won't nap and they tied us up and they are EVIL!" Kendall finished. "Help us, Mom."

"They are not evil," Mrs. Knight told them, "They're kids! And they need to be occupied!"

Logan pulled a little notepad out of his back pocket with a pen. Kendall and Katrina leaned in to watch as Logan wrote and spoke, "Occupy evil kids, got it!"

"Now," Mrs. Knight began, "The Ziggle Zaggles ends in about five minutes. So, you need to find something else to keep them busy and active." She then turned around and started walking away.

"Wait wait wait wait, where are you going?" Kendall asked his mom.

"As far away as I can get in five minutes," Mrs. Knight answered, grabbing her purse. "Good luck!" With that, she was gone, leaving the teens with the rambunctious kids.

"What do we do?" Both boys turned to Katrina.

"Uh," Katrina closed her eyes as she thought back to the times she would babysit. "Sometimes movies and TV would help, but that's out of the question after this. Another thing was, um, uh, sports! We used to go outside and play sports to burn energy! But that's probably out the window because we wouldn't want the kids to possibly get hurt. Um."

"No offense Katrina," Kendall stopped her, "But since we don't have a lot of time left, can you give us SOMETHING?"

"I'm working on it!" Katrina insisted. "How about arts and crafts?"

"That'll take time to find the supplies!" Kendall told her.

"How about if Katrina and I figure out something for the kids while you go gather supplies?" Logan suggested. Kendall nodded and ran off. Logan turned to Katrina, "What else do you have?"

"Um, uh, maybe tell them a story?" Katrina seemed unsure.

"That would be good," Logan agreed, "But we need something that would intrigue them better."

"How about you two act it out?" Kendall called out from the other room.

"And what story would we do?" Katrina didn't seem against acting it out.

"Romeo and Juliet!" Kendall answered for them. This caused Logan and Katrina to go wide-eyed.

Logan started laughing nervously while Katrina spoke up, "Isn't that a little too dark and mature for little kids? I mean they get married as teens and then kill themselves."

"Make it a happy ending!" Kendall had come out into the room, his arms full of art stuff. He placed it down on the table. "You two can figure out something! Now, I have to go raid the school for supplies. Good luck!" And then he was gone.

Logan and Katrina looked at each other with wide eyes.

"I really hope he's coming back," Katrina mentioned.

"He will," Logan told her. "Now, happy ending?"

"We're really going to act out Romeo and Juliet?" Katrina asked him.

"Why not?"

"We're going to have to kiss," Katrina reminded him.

Logan hesitated, like he just remembered that. There was a small twitch to his mouth, "I guess I could just kiss your cheek."

Katrina looked disappointed, but went on, "If that's what you want. Um, a happy ending? The families agree to forgive each other?"

"Should we still get married?" Logan asked.

Katrina hesitated this time, like she had thought he was asking for them and not their characters. "U-Um, probably not, it's too early."

Logan looked over at the clock, noticing they had a minute left. "We should probably get ourselves mentally ready."

"Right," Katrina agreed.

"You do know the story, right?"

"I remember the basics."

"I have it memorized so I'll tell the story. We'll ad-lib our parts, make it more modern."

"Sounds good."

"If Kendall comes back, maybe he can play Romeo while I tell the story."

"NO!" Katrina practically screamed, causing Logan to jump. He looked at her, confused. She seemed embarrassed as she covered her outburst, "Um, I mean, he should know the story! If you know the story by heart, you should be able to play the lead role even better than Kendall ever could!" She began to laugh nervously, a habit she seemed to have picked up from Logan, as she twirled her hair around her finger.

"I guess we could do that," Logan looked suspicious, but because the show was ending, he didn't ask about her behavior. The credits rolled and the kids began to get up.

Seeing this, Katrina immediately jumped in front of the TV gaining the children's' attentions. "Story time!" Surprisingly, the kids seemed interested so they stayed put.

Logan turned off the TV and stood by Katrina's side. "It's a story called, 'Romeo and Juliet'. It's about two people in love that are separated by their fighting families."

"I don't want to hear a love story," One of the boys complained.

"You will listen to it and you will like it," Katrina told him with a commanding tone to her voice. When Logan looked at her surprised, she leaned over and whispered, "That's the tone I use when training animals."

"Ah," Logan responded before turning to the kids, "And we're going to act it out!" At this point, Kendall had come back with the supplies and had set them on the table. He was setting things up as he let his friends deal with the kids.

A girl raised her hand and then spoke out, "Are you two in love?" Logan's and Katrina's cheeks went red with embarrassment as they began laughing nervously, avoiding eye contact with everyone.

"Um," Logan spoke up, "No, we're just friends." He and Katrina heard Kendall start laughing so they glared at him.

"But you two look at each other like my parents look at each other," The girl told them.

Logan and Katrina began coughing at this, their cheeks going even redder. Kendall laughed even harder.

"Maybe it would be best if we just skip the story and go do arts and crafts," Logan suggested.

"NO!" Another girl yelled out, "I want a story!" She then got the others to chant 'STORY!' with her.

"Okay," Kendall joined them, "I'll tell the story while Logan and Katrina act it out."

Suddenly, Katrina's cell rang. She looked at the guys, "I'm going to take this. You two get started." She walked into the kitchen to answer it. "Hello?"

Katie's voice came from the other line, "Katrina! I've been calling other agencies, but when I mention your name, they'll only take James if you come too! Can you PLEASE come help?"

"I can't," Katrina told her, "I'm helping Kendall and Logan with a job."

"Ugh, fine," Katie replied, "I'll just keep trying."

"Good luck," Katrina wished before they both hung up. She then watched as the boys started acting.

"We can't go to the Cap's party!" Logan began the acting part, "We're Montys. The Montys and the Caps are in a big fight."

"But everyone's going to be talking about this party!" Kendall complained, "Come on Romeo, let's crash it!"

"Okay," Logan responded, "But only because I've been needing a party."

"So," Kendall addressed the audience, "Romeo and his cousin went to the Cap's party. There, they lost each other. While Romeo was looking for his cousin, he found Juliet. It was love at first sight as he asked her to dance." Kendall backed away, out of the scene.

Katrina walked out of the kitchen and twirled around, dancing her way over to Logan. She pretended that she didn't see him as she danced right into him.

She turned around, a shocked expression on her face, "Oh! I'm so sor-" She stopped as she and Logan locked eyes. They forgot they were acting as they just stared at each other.

Kendall cleared his throat to get their attention. They snapped out of it as Logan spoke, "It's fine. Would you like to dance?" He held out his hand for her.

"I'd love to," Katrina answered, taking his hand. He twirled her around once before he placed his hand on her waist, her hand going to his shoulder. "By the way, my name's Juliet."

"And I'm Romeo," Logan replied.

They smiled at each other as Kendall stepped into the picture, "And Romeo met Juliet. They continued to meet afterwards, despite what their families wanted." He jumped back out of the way so Logan and Katrina could act it out.

Logan and Katrina broke apart to start a conversation. Katrina started, "My parents hate you."

"My family's not too happy with you either," Logan admitted.

"My parents are trying to set me up with someone else."

"I don't blame them. They want you to have the best."

"Did you want to break up?" Katrina bit her lip.

Logan didn't even hesitate, "Never. I love you. We'll prove to our parents that our love is for the best." He placed his hand on Katrina's cheek. She sighed, closing her eyes and covering Logan's hand with her own.

Kendall jumped in again, "And so the two lovers came up with a plan to get their families to make up."

Suddenly, the door opened and James walked into the room. Everyone looked over at him in confusion.

"I'm just here to take a shower," James explained. He didn't seem surprised to see what was in front of him.

"JAMES!" Kendall, Logan and Katrina called out to him.

"WHAT?" James asked.

Logan, Kendall and Katrina ran up to him, "We need your help."

"I'm busy."

"It's acting," Katrina added.

"I'm in!"

"You tell him what to do," Kendall told Katrina, "We'll act out our part first." Kendall and Logan went back over to act in front of the kids. Kendall acted as Logan's 'dad' as Logan convinced him to go somewhere with him.

"So, what's going on?" James asked.

"Short version?" Katrina began. "Kendall, James and I decided to start a babysitting service, but it was harder than we thought. Now, we're entertaining them through acting out a story."

"What story?"

"Romeo and Juliet."

James smiled, "So, obviously, I'll be Romeo."

"No." James's smile went away.

"Well why not?"

"Because we're already halfway through it!"

"Then who do I play?"

"My dad."

"Really?" James sounded disappointed.

"Just follow our lead." Katrina pulled James over to where the other two were.

Kendall took the hint and finished up, "Fine Romeo. I will meet this girl that you have fallen for, as long as it's not another Cap."

"Thank you Dad." Logan replied.

"Meanwhile," Kendall turned to the kids, becoming the narrator again, "Juliet was getting her dad to come too."

Kendall and Logan left the area so James and Katrina could take over.

"Daddy," Katrina spoke in a pleading voice, giving James a large grin and batting her eyelashes.

"What do you want, Juliet?" James asked.

"There's this really cute guy that I want you to meet. Don't worry, he's not a Monty."

"I guess I could meet him," James gave in.

Kendall jumped back into view. "So, the two lovers brought their fathers together to meet." Logan joined them to stand by Katrina's side.

"But Dad!" Katrina started the scene, "I love him!"

"I don't care!" James yelled at her, "There is no way that I'm ever going to let you date that boy!"

"Sir," Logan addressed James and Kendall had to look away so that no one would see his silent laughter, "I love your daughter! I would die for her. If you and my parents can't get along, that's between you two, not us." Logan put his arm around Katrina's waist. James's eyes flickered down to Logan's arm in what looked like contempt. His eyes went up to Logan's face, glaring at him.

Kendall saw this and spoke next, "I think it's time to stop this fight." When James continued to be silent, Kendall went on, "Come on, Cap. Let's go talk about this elsewhere." James didn't move, so Kendall had to grab James's arm and pull him away.

"Go take your shower and get out of here," Kendall whispered to James, "We need a happy ending." He jogged back over to narrate the ending, making sure that James was in the bathroom before he began, "And because of Romeo and Juliet, their families made up. In celebration, Romeo and Juliet kissed."

"They what now?" Logan and Katrina turned to Kendall who was smirking at them.

"They kissed," Kendall shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal, but continued to smirk.

The kids took this up and all of them began chanting, "KISS! KISS!" Over and over.

Logan and Katrina looked at each other. Katrina gave Logan a small smile, closed her eyes and leaned in, expecting Logan to kiss her on the cheek.

Stepping forward, Logan leaned in to do just that, but stopped. He stood up straight again, looking as if he was contemplating something. Suddenly, he got a small smile on his face as he brought his hand up to hold her cheek.

Katrina's eyes snapped open in shock. She looked in Logan's eyes and forgot that she was acting. Bringing up her hand, she began caressing Logan's neck with it. Logan put his arm around Katrina's waist and pulled her closer to him so their bodies were pressed up against one another.

Logan's hand that was on her cheek went up to tangle in her hair and started to pull her up to him as he leaned in. Katrina's eyes almost closed as they stopped less than a centimeter apart. They took a deep breath as both of them closed the distance to capture each other's lips.

The dreams never gave it justice. Katrina could practically feel sparks as they kissed. Both of them forgot about their audience, who were going, "Ooh!" as they stared at the kissing teens. Kendall looked up at the ceiling, mouthing something that looked like 'finally'.

But when Kendall saw that Katrina and Logan weren't stopping, he cleared his throat. Logan and Katrina broke away from each other, blushes forming on their cheeks. They quickly let go of each other, looking at everything but each other.

Kendall stepped in, speaking to the kids, "The End!" They clapped and he gave a bow. Logan and Katrina jumped at the sound, realized what was going on and then bowed too. "Now, onto arts and crafts!" The kids ran over to the table and dived into the supplies. Kendall hurried over to make sure that they didn't use the stuff in a bad way, leaving Logan and Katrina alone to talk things over.

Katrina broke their silence, "That was nice."

"Thank you," Logan replied, still not looking at her, "You did great too."

"Yeah, well, it was my first try," Katrina responded, not looking at him either. She went quiet. They both looked at each other and Katrina continued, "Thanks for making my first kiss with someone I trust." She gave him a small smile.

"No problem," Logan smiled back, "I should probably help Kendall with the arts and crafts." He gestured over to where Kendall was trying to keep the kids from coloring on the walls.

"Probably," Katrina agreed, "And I'll go make some snacks for them."

"Right," Logan nodded. They stayed still for a second and then Logan ran over to help Kendall. Noticing that he wasn't watching her anymore, Katrina brought a hand up to her lips to tap her fingers on them. Her mouth twitched at the contact. She waited a couple more seconds and then walked into the kitchen to prepare snacks for the kids.

(A/N): YAY! They FINALLY kissed! Even if it was acting! And Logan is still in something with Camille. Is Camille ever going to find out or is it going to remain a secret? And how will James feel about this?

If you haven't figured out what the first gift was, it's the kiss. I went over my plan for this story and decided I could afford it. For those of you waiting for it to happen, I hope you're happy now!

For the second gift, I will be posting another story on the site right after this! I've been working on it for a while now, but you readers get a sneak peek now with a nice summary. It is a BTR fanfic, but it's crossing over with Harry Potter. So, for those of you that like both, you might enjoy this! (Shamelessly plugging my own story, I know. It's bad.) Don't worry, it won't interfere with this one! I'll still post regularly on this one that I really don't see an end for. Anyways, before I ramble too much, here's a sneak peek at Big Time Rush and the Marauders:

Kendall, James, Carlos and Logan just finished up their senior year at the Palm Woods School. Except for Logan, the boys are excited to just concentrate on their careers as a boy band. Their whole world changes when they get letters saying that they got accepted at the American wizarding school named Washburn Academy of Magical Arts. If they thought that learning to be a boy band was tough, wait until they have to learn magic. With Gustavo and Kelly coming along as professors to keep helping them with their music and Griffin as their headmaster, anything can happen at Washburn. Especially when the boys get an assignment in their History of Magic class and they find out about four troublemaking boys from the past that had formed a group called the Marauders. Upon studying them further, they find similarities. So, when they find out that the Marauders died early in their lives, they panic and try to change things. But, when Kendall gets on the Qudditch team and falls for a girl that hates his guts, James finds out he thinks differently than his family and the girls all go after him, Logan still is the top of the class and gets bitten by a werewolf and Carlos starts feeling left behind and unimportant, they all start to wonder. Is history doomed to repeat itself?

Well, how is it? Let me know! I can't wait to share this one! But I won't be able to update it was often as this one because it takes a lot of work to write it.

Back to this story, 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.
