(A/N): Okay, I know you guys are probably mad, but I warned you that I was starting school. During the summer, I had plenty of time to write. But now, I have other things like studying and homework to worry about. Anyways, thank you to Katie for your review. (I'm still working on this story. It's just I don't have a lot of time to sit down and write out my ideas.) I still don't own Big Time Rush. I also don't own the episode Big Time Terror which although is not in this chapter, the time frame of the episode is when this chapter takes place. In addition, I do not own the song, Get Another Boyfriend by Backstreet Boys. Enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 32: Interviewing For A Boyfriend

Carlos, Logan and Katrina stepped off the floor of Penny's Pet Care to find that Brandon was already there. He was sitting on the floor, waiting for them.

Once he saw them, Brandon got up to talk to them, "Hey. This isn't going to look very professional if we don't have any furniture two days before the opening." The group looked around. He was right; there was no furniture, only boxes of things like leashes, collars, food and washing items that Katrina had before the move.

Katrina sighed, "They're supposed to drop off the furniture today! I don't know when, but sometime today. Hopefully before the interviews start."

"What are we supposed to do until then?" Logan asked, "I mean it's almost three."

"We could go borrow some things from Rocque Records since Gustavo's not there," Carlos offered.

"That might actually work," Brandon agreed, "We need a desk, some chairs for us and for the candidates."

Suddenly, Katrina's cell phone rang and she answered, "Hello?" There was a pause. "Really? That's awesome! I'll be right there!" She hung up the phone and looked at the confused others. "The furniture's arrived downstairs. We should go help the delivery guys with where everything goes." The three boys shrugged and followed Katrina into the elevator.

"I thought they were supposed to come already put together," Katrina was arguing with one of the delivery men.

"Aren't you a little young to be an executive anyways?" the man pointed out. "You can't be any older than fourteen." Katrina glared at the man as Logan, Carlos and Brandon stepped away to make sure they wouldn't get struck if Katrina attacked him. However, Katrina walked away, sat down on one of the boxes and started crying. The man looked at her for a second before turning to the boys, "Is she okay?"

"I'm not sure," Logan answered as Brandon went to sit down by Katrina, whispering slightly to her.

"Listen," the man addressed him, "I was just told to deliver these boxes. I didn't get any other information, so I don't know what else to tell you. Except, I am expecting a tip for delivering it so fast." With that, he held out his hand as though expecting something.

Logan and Carlos turned to look at Katrina and Brandon. Katrina was in no condition to do anything, but Brandon noticed. He got up and walked over to the group, pulling his wallet out of his back pocket. Opening it, he asked the delivery guy, "How much?"

The man looked at the wallet with desire and the boys knew it was going to be a steep price before he even opened his mouth, "Oh, 25 or 30 dollars would be fine."

Brandon sighed as he pulled out a 50 dollar bill and handed it to him, "Keep the change." The man grabbed it and got into the elevator before anyone could say anything.

"Why did you give him that much?" Carlos asked.

Brandon shrugged, "I've always been a good tipper." He turned to Katrina, "The guy's gone. We better start putting the stuff together."

Katrina sniffed back her tears, "We should put together the items for the entry room first. That's where we'll be having the interviews." The boys nodded their agreement before they went ahead and started opening boxes.

Carlos, Logan, Katrina and Brandon were standing in the entry room, looking over the work that they did. The front desk was put together and the waiting chairs were set up along the walls. They had added in an extra table that they could sit behind while doing the interviews. A few papers and organizing material had been placed on the front desk to make the area look more professional. On the table were piles of resumes of people that had been sent over the past few days.

"Think we're ready?" Katrina asked the boys. They nodded so Katrina addressed Brandon, "Go get the candidates." Brandon went into the elevator where the doors closed after him. Logan, Carlos and Katrina went to sit in their seats as they waited for Brandon to come up with the first candidate.

"What are you looking for anyways?" Logan turned to Katrina.

"I'm looking for someone who obviously loves animals, but is still somewhat normal," Katrina responded, "And will be easy to work with."

"How hard could that be to find?" Carlos commented as the elevator opened. Brandon came out followed by a man wearing a flannel shirt, ripped jeans and a cowboy hat. He had some wheat sticking out of his mouth.

"Howdy y'all!" The man spoke as Brandon joined the other three behind the table. "I'm Derek!"

"Hello Derek," Katrina replied, extending her right hand out to shake his which he did with vigor. "I'm Katrina, executive of Penny's Pet Care. If you'll take a seat, we can start your interview."

"Nah, I'm fine standing," Derek responded, wandering around the room as he observed what the teens had done to it at the last minute.

"Okay," Katrina began going through the piles of resumes, "If I could get your last name, I can find your resume and we can discuss it."

"Oh, I didn't send in a resume," Derek told her.

"So, you came to a job interview without a resume?" Logan noted.

"Oh no," Derek pulled a folded piece of paper out of his jean pocket and placed it on the table, "Here's my resume." Katrina picked it up with two fingers to get a better look at it. The resume was written out on a lined sheet of paper and was covered in barbeque sauce. At least, that's what it looked and smelled like. "Sorry about that. I had some steak earlier while I was putting it together."

Katrina stared at the paper with wide eyes, unable to say anything from the shock. So, Carlos spoke for her, "This is going to be a long day." The other three teens nodded simultaneously while Derek just smiled at them, seemingly excited.

In front of the group now was a woman dressed in all black. She was glaring at the group as though they had done something wrong.

"Okay, Gina," Logan began, "Why do you want this job?"

"I don't," Gina replied.

"Then why are you here?" Brandon commented.

Gina shrugged, "I've got nothing better to do."

"I can think of millions of things better than going to a job interview," Carlos told her, "Like cannonballing into a pool or eating corndogs or trying to rollerblade while skateboarding at the same time or attaching yourself to a car so it can pull you while you're on rollerblades or taking a cheese puff and sticking it-"

"Carlos," Katrina stopped him, "I think she gets the idea."

"Those activities are depressing," Gina responded, "This interview is depressing. I'm leaving." With that, she got up and left. The teens stared with their heads slightly tilted in confusion.

"Well then," Brandon started, "Who's next?"

Sitting in front of them was a man with a fishbowl around his head. Although it was filled with water there was a bubble in there that was set up around his head within the water so he could breath. The teens couldn't take their wide eyes off the man as their mouths were dropped in shock.

"So, are we going to do this thing?" the man asked.

"Um, yeah," Katrina looked away so that she wasn't distracted, "Harry, what are your qual-"

"Why are you wearing a fishbowl?" Carlos interrupted.

"I like to be one with the fish," Harry told them. He suddenly got up and jumped onto his chair, forming a superhero pose, "I am Fishman!" As if to emphasize his proclamation, a fish swam around his head.

"You do realize that most of these animals are dogs and cats, right?" Brandon mentioned.

"That's not cool!" Harry jumped down from the chair, splattering water on the wooden floor. "I'm going to go swimming with my fish!" He ran into the elevator and shouted, "WOO! As the doors closed.

"I think he's suffering from a lack of oxygen," Logan tried to diagnose why Harry was crazy. Katrina sighed in aggravation.

The girl sitting in front of them looked normal, but had a creepy smile as she stared at them.

"So Sasha, what experiences have you had with animals?" Katrina was willing to give her a chance while the boys looked at her curiously.

"Oh, I deal with animals all the time," Sasha didn't stop smiling creepily. If anything, the smile got bigger.

"Like what?" The four interviewing teens asked together.

"I'd be alone with a bunch of dogs, cats and exotic animals, right?" Sasha didn't answer their question, "Exotics have something special about them that I just love." She licked her lips like she was thinking about ice cream.

Katrina's eyes went wide as she shouted out, "NEXT!" Sasha scowled as she got out of her seat and left.

"I hope animal shelters never sell her an animal," Logan commented. The other three nodded as they waited for the next person to come up.

"So, I can offer you protection from different groups that might want to harm your business," A large man was speaking to the group. He was wearing a black suit and had large chained necklaces around his neck. There was a briefcase on his lap and two even bigger men in suits standing behind him.

"That didn't answer my question," Katrina noted.

"Oh," the man looked confused. "What was the question?"

"I asked for your name!" Katrina told him.

"Marty," he responded. "But you can call me your savior because I can assign you a bodyguard so nothing can happen to you. All I need is a monthly payment. And just because you're a Wolff, I'll give you a discount."

"She already has a bodyguard," Carlos replied like it was obvious.

The other three looked over at him curiously, "Since when?" Carlos just smiled as he snapped his fingers and Fright Train walked into the room to stand behind Katrina.

"When did you get here?" Katrina asked him.

"Gustavo had an express way installed between Penny's Pet Care and Rocque Records because the guys are here so often," Fright Train explained.

"And now you're my bodyguard too?" Katrina looked confused.

Fright Train nodded, "As long as you're friends with the guys."

"Well, okay," Katrina still looked confused as she turned back to Marty, "I don't need your protection."

"You're going to regret that," Marty told her ominously as he got up. He snapped his fingers and his posse followed him to the elevator. Katrina rolled her eyes as she ruffled through the remaining resumes, waiting for the next one.

"Looks like I've done my job," Fright Train told them as he left the room.

"You're still hot even with that cast on," the boy sitting in front of them told Katrina. He looked normal, but he was staring at Katrina with dreamy eyes.

"Well, thank you Drew," Katrina blushed.

"Why would you hit on a possible boss?" Logan asked harshly. He seemed in a bad mood the second that the boy walked into the room, keeping his eyes on Katrina the entire time.

"What do you say we get out of here and see a movie or something?" Drew suggested, completely ignoring Logan.

"She's not going anywhere!" Logan insisted, standing up to gain everyone's attention.

"Can't you tell that I'm trying to score a model girlfriend here?" Drew complained. Carlos's, Katrina's and Brandon's eyes went wide, but Logan's narrowed as he glared at the boy in front of them. "Who do you think you are anyways?"

"I'm her-" Logan dropped off what he was going to say for a second as he realized what he was going to say. There was an obvious pause before he finished, "-friend." He sat back down looking a little defeated. The other three behind the table were staring at him.

"You know you should dump James and go out with me," Drew turned his attention back to Katrina as he waggled his eyebrows at her.

"She's not dating James," Logan snarled.

"I can probably sing so much better than him anyways," Drew continued, ignoring Logan again. He suddenly pulled out a stereo and pressed a button to start a song. It was obvious right away that it was the song, Get Another Boyfriend by Backstreet Boys. He jumped onto the table right in front of Katrina as he started to sing to her.

Let's talk about one, baby

You gotta hear me out

Do you really want to be the last to know

What it's all about

Let's talk about who you say

Is the essence of your life

But he'll eat you up from inside, slow

And then he doesn't wanna know

I'm telling you he'll eat you up from inside

And then he doesn't wanna know

Katrina leaned as far back in her seat as she could, trying to get away from him. Her eyes were the widest anyone had ever seen them. Carlos and Brandon exchanged looks of surprise, not really knowing what to do. Logan narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms as he glared at the boy serenading Katrina.

Listen, I mean it

There's nothing that he's worthy of

He's just another playa'

Playing in the name of love

I've seen enough

Now this must come to an end

Get another boyfriend

At this point, Katrina fell out of her chair. She quickly stood up and backed up away from Drew. He jumped off the table to follow her, continuing his singing.

Let's talk about what

He's done, to become your number one

Or was it all the promises of diamonds, pearls and party dresses

That turned you on

I've seen it before

Don't take anymore

Free too, you're through for sure

Just go get on with your life

Stop! Acting like you're giving up

I'm telling you, go get on with your life

Stop acting like you're giving up

There was nowhere else to go as Katrina bumped into the wall. Drew got closer and closer to her, stopping right in front of her face.

Listen, I mean it

There's nothing that he's worthy of

He's just another playa'

Playing in the name of love

I've seen enough

Now this must come to an end

Get another boyfriend

There was an instrumental break in the song, so Drew stopped singing. He reached forward and caressed Katrina's cheek.

Suddenly, Drew fell to the floor. Katrina looked down at him, shocked and confused. She looked over at the table to find that Carlos and Brandon were still sitting there, but Logan was gone. She looked to her right to find him there, glaring down at the boy on the floor with his fist in the air.

When he noticed Katrina staring at him, Logan's facial expression softened, but he still looked angry, "No one touches my girl."

Now, Katrina looked confused and a little happy, "Did you just call me your girl?"

Too late, Logan realized what he said. He laughed nervously as he covered for it, "I mean my girl best friend! Why would I have meant anything other than that?"

"Oh," Katrina responded, looking a little sad. That's when she noticed that the music was still playing, "Can someone turn off that music?" Brandon turned off the volume.

"I'll get this guy out of here," Carlos told them as he grabbed Drew and dragged him to the elevator. After the doors closed Logan and Katrina joined Brandon at the table. Katrina groaned in annoyance as she leaned forward to place her head on the table. Logan grabbed the list of people and began to angrily cross out Drew's name.

"Is there anyone else left?" Katrina turned to Brandon. It was almost six and Carlos was already complaining about missing dinner, but they still hadn't found anyone that wasn't crazy.

"I don't know," Brandon admitted, "I lost count of how many people there were."

"We don't have any resumes left," Logan commented. "So unless there's a walk-in, then we don't have anyone else."

Suddenly, the elevator binged and the doors opened, revealing a boy holding a briefcase. He was shorter than Brandon but taller than Katrina. His hair had small spikes to it and was a mixture of blonde and brown. He was smiling from ear to ear as he walked forward and extended his hand for Katrina, "Hello, my name is Timothy Atteberry, but you can call me Tim. I'm here for the live-in position." Katrina took his hand and shook it before Tim sat down. "I'm sorry I wasn't able to send in my resume, but I brought it." He opened his briefcase and pulled out a sheet of printer paper, stain-free, and handed it to Katrina. Carlos and Logan looked over to read it, but Brandon just stared at Tim curiously.

"You graduated from your high school Summa Cum Laude?" Logan noted. Tim nodded.

"You're going to California State for Animal Science?" Katrina commented. Tim smiled.

"You worked at a zoo?" Carlos added.

"Yeah, but I wanted some work with smaller animals too," Tim replied. "I mean the zoo was fun, but I want to be great overall."

"You're gay," Brandon stated, no question in his voice. Logan, Carlos and Katrina turned to stare at Brandon in confusion.

Tim looked a little uncomfortable, "Yes, I am gay, but it doesn't change anything."

"You're right," Katrina told him, "It's completely fine. You're actually the best candidate we've had all day."

"Does this mean I still have to go through the interview?" Tim asked.

"Just one question," Logan spoke up, "Is there anything weird about you?"

"Um," Tim began, "I'm not sure. I guess you could say that I'm kind of a nerd. I don't get out much."

"That doesn't seem weird to me," Katrina replied, "So, welcome to Penny's Pet Care, Tim." She held out her right hand and he shook it as all five of them stood up.

"So, what do we do now?" Tim asked.

"I can help you with moving your stuff in," Brandon suggested, "And we should probably finish getting ready for Monday."

"That sounds-" Katrina started.

"Katrina," Brandon interrupted her, "Why don't you go back to 2J with Logan and Carlos. Leave everything to me and Tim." Brandon gave Tim a large grin.

Raising her eyebrows at this, Katrina spoke up, "Uh, can I talk to you first, Brandon?" She grabbed him and pulled him into another room. Before he could say anything, Katrina did, "You like Tim."

"Well, uh, he is nice and stuff." Brandon began blushing.

Katrina giggled as she teased, "You LOOOOOOVE him!"

Brandon pushed her away slightly, "Shut up." But he was smiling.

Katrina shook her head, still laughing a little, "Okay, I'll get out of your way so you can do your thing, but I expect full details later."

"Deal," Brandon accepted it. They went back into the main area to join the other three.

"We should get going," Katrina told Logan and Carlos, practically pushing them towards the elevator. "Bye Brandon! Bye Tim! Have fun!" The doors closed Carlos, Logan and Katrina in the elevator. The two boys turned to stare at Katrina, waiting for an explanation. "Brandon likes Tim." Katrina shrugged as if it wasn't a big deal. They nodded.

"Now, we go back to ghost hunting!" Carlos looked excited. Logan and Katrina groaned.

"Can we watch that movie first?" Katrina asked as the elevator doors opened on the bottom floor and the trio walked out.

"Ooh!" Carlos sounded happy, "What movie?"

Katrina and Logan looked at each other and shrugged, "We don't know."

"We'll have to wait until we get back to find out," Logan added. The teens headed out of the building and started on the way back to the Palm Woods.

(A/N): Okay, so probably not the best chapter, but it's an update. And it introduces one of the new OCs! Tim! How is his introduction going to affect Katrina? Now that he's on the staff, will Penny's Pet Care be better or worse? How are things going to go when the trio goes back to ghost hunting? And Logan called Katrina 'his girl'! Does this open up something that might happen during the movie? And isn't Camille supposed to be his girl? I sense some drama coming up!

Now, for some business. As I wrote in the beginning, I'm at school. I'm taking five classes and one hasn't even started yet. Luckily, there's a good portion of time in between classes, at least forty minutes between each. But, I do need to study as this is a big year for me. I'm NOT stopping this story! It's just going to take longer to get updates because this story is not a major priority when compared with schoolwork. Although, I'll do my best, I can't promise when I'll have an update. I'll try to post at least one per week, usually around the weekend, but once again, no promises. I hope that you'll stick with me during this time cause I do work on this every day and I love writing this and sharing it with all of you. So, one promise I can make is that this story will continue! I've still got the inspiration for it, so I'm keeping up with it. There's just more space between updates.

Reviews are awesome and until next time, happy reading!
