(A/N): Get excited! This chapter begins the episode that everyone's been waiting for! Big Time Girlfriends! A hint for all of you, I've had this episode planned out from the beginning. Although the episode only begins in this chapter, I'll probably have it wrapped up in the next one! But that doesn't mean the story will be wrapped up! Remember that this story isn't just about romance, it's also about the mystery behind the family.

Thank you to these people for your reviews: Dreamer1992 (You get to see who switched the baby AND who dies in this! I can say that you were right about someone else doing the dirty work, but not a spy!), alejandra1 (Obsessive soda? There are sodas that I'm obsessed with, but they don't sell them around me anymore… I see what you mean… And I'm totally gonna keep writing this. It's probably not gonna end until the series on TV ends… Or, I might even make it longer than the series! I'll figure it out when I get there. Some of this stuff I'm making up as I go while others I've had planned from the beginning. For instance, Evan was planned from the beginning, this baby plot wasn't. That doesn't mean it's not important though!), Dibs on Logan (I do the same thing! Whenever I see an episode, I think about what Katrina, Evan and possibly Brandon would do in that situation. And CSI? I've never really seen that show, but I'm hoping that's a compliment? And I'm glad I can help you with your English! It's nice to see my writing can help you! Don't worry about the misspellings. I understand. Some words I still have to look up the spelling for and English is my native language!), magooyi (YAY! You're caught up! In three days?! That is a great accomplishment! That cookie sounds good. I used to have chocolate chip cookies around here, but they're gone now… It's very sad.) and Milkamoo97 (I don't think anyone expected that! And this is one of the best fanfictions you've read?! Aww, thank you! That's such a compliment!)

I don't own Big Time Rush or the episode Big Time Girlfriends which is started in this chapter. I also don't own the songs Just So You Know by Jesse McCartney and Careless Whisper by George Michael. For Careless Whisper, I use the cover by Juliet Simms, Alex Gaskarth (No, he's not back.) and 3Oh!3. And now, to the chapter!

Chapter 67: Secrets And Theories

"Okay, let's recap here," Evan began. "Carlos put that baby carrier down and in between then and picking it back up, someone switched the mechanical baby with a real one. Probably the Zizi since they left that whole someone's gonna die thing."

"Evan, we just told you that," Katrina reminded him. "Now we don't know what to do."

"I have an idea," Kendall announced. And with that, he took the lead, "Jo, Camille, Brandon, you three are in charge of the mechanical babies. We don't want to fail our projects while we're solving this mystery. Logan, Katrina, go find my mom and see if she has any leftover baby stuff somewhere. She likes to keep that stuff. Carlos, James, Evan, you're with me. We're gonna go get Mr. Bitters to get the security tapes for us. At least then we'll be able to see who switched the babies and go from there." The group separated as each went to do their jobs.

Logan rolled Katrina's wheelchair into 2J while Katrina held the baby. Mrs. Knight looked over from the kitchen and dropped a frying pan at the sight of the baby in Katrina's arms.

"Aunt Jenn, we need your help," Katrina told her.

"Where did that baby come from?" Mrs. Knight asked. "Please tell me that Evan didn't get a girl pregnant."

"Someone switched Carlos's mechanical baby with this one," Logan explained. "Do you have any of Kendall's or Katie's old baby stuff?"

"Not really," Mrs. Knight thought out loud. "But I will go to the store and buy some for this little one. It'll be so nice to have someone that needs me in this apartment!" She grabbed her purse, gave the baby a motherly smile and headed out the door.

Right as the door slammed shut, the baby started crying. Katrina held her up in horror.

"Crap, what do you need?!" Katrina exclaimed. She smelled the make-shift diaper. "James's shirt doesn't smell."

"Maybe she's hungry," Logan suggested.

"So, get some milk from the fridge," Katrina insisted.

"We can't," Logan responded. "Babies have to have special formula milk."

"Oh, right," Katrina shook her head. "I should know that from our project. What do we do now?"

"Since we can't feed her, we can try entertaining her," Logan tried something else. "Like, uh, um, singing! There's a song that was on a sheet of paper left on my pillow. I can go get that and you can play the guitar part." He left for his bedroom before Katrina could say a word. Katrina sighed as she got up out of the wheelchair to sit down on the couch. She rocked the baby in her arms, trying to get her to stop crying. Finally, Logan came back with a piece of paper and a guitar. "I just grabbed Kendall's guitar cause I don't even know if you have one."

"I do, but it's in Evan's apartment," Katrina explained. "You're gonna have to hold her so I can play the guitar." Logan put the paper and guitar on the coffee table. Carefully, he reached forward and put his arms underneath the baby. "Make sure you support her head."

"I got her," Logan assured Katrina.

"Be careful, she moves around a lot," Katrina warned. Logan sat down next to her with the crying baby in his arms. Katrina grabbed the guitar and paper. Curiously, she looked over the paper. As she read the song lyrics, her eyes went wide. "Where did you get this?"

"I told you," Logan responded. "Someone left it on my pillow."

"Remember that commercial that we had to do for that perfume," Katrina mentioned. Logan nodded. "And that the song you guys sang was actually the second one Gustavo wrote for it. " Logan nodded again. "This was the first one."

"Oh," Logan stared at the piece of paper for a second. "When I first read it, I thought that Gustavo had written it when you were with James and I wanted you."

"You were with Camille then," Katrina pointed out. "Actually, you're still with Camille."

"Katrina, this really isn't a good time to have a heart-to-heart," Logan reminded her. "There's a screaming baby in my arms."

"Oh, right," Katrina picked up the guitar. "You know the lyrics?" Logan nodded. He didn't get to say a word before Katrina began her strumming. The baby's crying volume went down a bit as Logan opened his mouth to sing.

I shouldn't love you, but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you, but I can't move
I can't look away
I shouldn't love you, but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you, but I can't move
I can't look away
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around
I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know

The crying died out completely as the baby watched the two teens. Logan and Katrina exchanged smiles as Logan continued.

It's getting hard to be around you
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way
And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around
I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know
This emptiness is killing me
And I'm wondering why I waited so long
Looking back I realize
It was always there, just never spoken
I'm waiting here, been waiting here
Mmm, oh
Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around
I can't let him win now
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know
Oh, oh, oh
Just so you know
Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to
I just gotta say it all before I go
Just so you know
Just so you know

They finished the song as they stared at each other.

"Maybe I-" Logan began. He was interrupted by the baby crying.

"Crap, we have to keep singing!" Katrina realized. She strummed the guitar a bit before she burst out into song.

James, Kendall, Carlos and Evan stood at the front desk as Kendall rang the bell to get Mr. Bitters' attention. Mr. Bitters stuck his head out from his office, "Whatever you want, the answer is no." Before he could duck back into his office, Evan came over and pulled him out by the tie.

"Listen, you," Evan spoke to the guy. "When I find something in my way, I get really mad. And when I get mad, I break stuff. Stuff that you'll probably have to replace with your own money because you'll never be able to trace it to me. So, you're gonna help us."

"Fine, what do you want?" Mr. Bitters gave in.

"We need to see the surveillance videos for the lobby," James told him. "We're trying to solve a mystery."

"No, it's against Palm Woods policy," Mr. Bitters responded.

"Fine," Kendall replied. "Don't come crying to us when you get sued because someone lost a baby around here."

"You mean one of those stupid mechanical babies, right?" Mr. Bitters assumed. The boys shook their heads simultaneously. "A real baby?" They nodded. "I'll go get those tapes." He walked off to go get the security tapes, leaving the others to wait.

Mrs. Knight came into the apartment with bags of baby stuff from the store. She found Logan and Katrina sitting on the couch. Rocking the baby in her arms, Katrina hummed a melody to keep the baby asleep. Logan was watching her with a slight smile on his face.

Placing the bags on the table, Mrs. Knight announced, "I'm gonna put together some formula for when she wakes up. You should probably change her into a diaper instead of that shirt." The teens nodded as they looked over at her. Mrs. Knight brought one of the bags into the kitchen.

"You wanna know what annoys me?" Katrina mentioned. "We keep calling her the baby. None of us know her name."

"We could give her a name," Logan suggested.

"That'll make it hard to give her back to her parents," Katrina reminded him.

Logan stared down at the sleeping baby in Katrina's arms, "How about Rebecca? That's a name that allows nicknames. And it's easy to remember."

Katrina smiled, "That's a good choice. I guess we can call her Rebecca. It's better than calling her the baby. And it'll be hard to give her back anyways." The sound of crying got the teens' attentions. Rebecca was still asleep so they looked around for the source of it. Dusty the parrot landed on Katrina's shoulder with his beak open, making the crying sound. Katrina shook her head. "That could get annoying."

"At least it can't get any worse," Logan mentioned.

Dusty stopped imitating a baby's crying to squawk, "This is gonna break Evan. Then no one can stop us."

"Didn't Dusty come from the Zizi?" Logan asked.

"I think so," Katrina replied. "That can't be good." Dusty picked up his crying imitation again.

James, Carlos, Kendall and Evan watched the surveillance tapes with Mr. Bitters.

"There!" Carlos pointed. "Right there! I put down the doll there!" The group leaned in closer as they focused on Carlos in the video placing the carrier on the floor as he talked to James.

Suddenly, a man tripped behind James. The two teens turned around to help the man up. While they were focused on the man, a woman with a baby stood up from one of the lobby's couches and kneeled down beside the carrier. Quickly, she pulled the baby doll from the carrier and replaced it with the real baby. After putting a piece of paper in the bag attached to the carrier, she placed her hand on the baby's face with a sad smile, a tear running down her face. A second later, she grabbed the fake baby, stood up and walked quickly out of the lobby. Carlos and James helped the man to his feet. He thanked the boys and walked off in the same direction as the woman had gone. Carlos grabbed the carrier off the ground and left the camera shot with James. Mr. Bitters stopped the tape.

"I can't believe we missed that!" James exclaimed. "It was right in front of our faces!"

"Evan, do you know them?" Kendall looked at his cousin.

"Oh, I know them," Evan admitted. He walked off leaving the other three confused. After a quick glance at the TV screen, they ran after him.

Katrina rocked Rebecca in her arms as Mrs. Knight got the formula ready. Rebecca was awake so Logan kept her entertained by playing peek-a-boo with her. She laughed when Logan uncovered his face, each time making a different silly expression. Once Mrs. Knight had the milk formula done, she came over and took Rebecca from Katrina's arms. Dusty flew from Katrina's shoulder over to perch on top of the fridge as he watched Mrs. Knight feed the baby, squawking random phrases at odd times. Logan and Katrina relaxed back on the couch.

The door to the apartment burst open and Kendall, James, Carlos and Evan walked in. The two teens on the couch looked up at their sudden entrance.

"Kat, I know who's behind this," Evan spoke first.

"Who?!" Katrina asked.

"Emily's parents," Evan revealed.

"What?" Katrina seemed confused. "Are you absolutely sure?"

"Believe me, I'd know them anywhere," Evan replied. "Now, what does this baby have to do with it?"

"We can use Emily's sister," Dusty squawked. "Distract him. Then attack." Everyone stared at Dusty with horror. The bird twitched before he started his crying imitation again.

"Did that bird just say Emily's sister?" Carlos checked. The others nodded their heads slowly.

"So, there's a baby, Emily's parents and her sister," Logan summed up. "I'm guessing that this baby is Emily's sister."

"Are we sure that it's the same Emily from when you were ten?" Katrina asked her brother. "It's a common name."

Evan shrugged, "It's the only lead we have. What do we have to lose? Besides, we don't know another Emily."

Evan knocked on the door to Emily's parents' house. The others were gathered around him, waiting for an answer. Katrina was in her wheelchair, cradling a sleeping Rebecca in her arms. After a minute, Evan tried knocking again. When that didn't work, he rang the doorbell.

"Maybe no one's home," James suggested.

"Or maybe they just can't get to the door," Evan assumed.

"Paranoid much?" Kendall replied.

"Think about it," Evan defended his words, "Why would a woman leave her baby with a teenager that she didn't know? And that note. The only people that would leave that type of note would be the Zizi. So, either Mr. and Mrs. Pierce, Emily's parents, are being blackmailed and are now being held captive or they're-" Evan paused for a second. "Oh my God. What if they're part of the Zizi? What if they hate our family so they sent Emily away and she's not dead, but being held somewhere against her will? It all makes sense! Her parents wouldn't let me come to her funeral and she didn't seem sick back then and I've looked in every graveyard around here, but she's not buried around here! Wanna know why? Because she's not dead!" The others stared at him blankly. "Don't you guys see the big picture here?!"

"Evan, you're jumping to conclusions," Katrina responded. "Come back to Earth and join reality."

"I'm not crazy," Evan insisted. "Something's wrong here and I can prove it." Before anyone could stop him, Evan went inside the house. The others exchanged worried glances and then followed him in. The house seemed oddly quiet as they looked around the room. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. If anything, it was cleaner than a lived in house should be. Each item was placed perfectly where it should have been. Evan narrowed his eyes as he scanned the room.

"We shouldn't be in here," Logan mentioned. "This is breaking and entering. We could get arrested!"

"Shh," Evan hushed him. "Kat, Logan, James, you search around down here. Kendall, Carlos, we're gonna look around upstairs. Make sure you have each other's backs." He led Carlos and Kendall up the stairs. Katrina looked to Logan and James.

"I can't believe that Evan just left me alone with two guys," Katrina told them.

"We should look around," James decided.

"We should leave before we get caught," Logan insisted.

"Logan, Emily's parents like me and Evan," Katrina replied. "They won't press charges. And this might help us figure out if this baby is really Emily's sister. Even though Evan's theory is crazy, we have to look into it." Logan sighed, giving in.

"Let's check the kitchen," James suggested. "There's gotta be something there." The others agreed, leaving the room.

Upstairs, Kendall, Carlos and Evan checked the different rooms.

"I found a baby's room," Carlos announced. "Does that prove anything?"

"It proves that a baby lives here," Kendall responded. "Evan, did you find something?" When Evan didn't answer, Kendall looked over at him. Evan was staring into a room. "Evan? You okay?" Evan went into the room he was looking in. Carlos and Kendall exchanged a quick glance before they followed him in.

The room was obviously a little girl's room. Dolls scattered the floor and dresses hung in the closet. Pictures were on the walls of a little blonde girl with the two adults from the surveillance video of the lobby. Right beside the bed, Evan had grabbed a picture frame from the bedside table. A tear ran down his face as he stared at the picture. Kendall and Carlos peeked at it over Evan's shoulder. That same little blonde girl from the other pictures was in this one along with a ten-year-old Evan. The two of them were playing on a swing set, smiling and laughing as they swung.

"That's Emily," Evan told the others. Kendall placed a sympathetic hand on Evan's shoulder.

After a few seconds to let Evan compose himself, Kendall spoke up, "Come on. We should check her parents' room." Evan nodded, placing the picture back down on the table. He turned to leave, but something sitting on the bed caught his attention.

"Carlos, is that your fake baby?" Evan pointed at the doll on the bed.

"Yeah," Carlos reached forward to grab the fake baby. "But someone broke it. It's not on."

"At least you won't get in trouble for losing it," Kendall mentioned. "Now, let's go." The three guys left Emily's room and went on to the next one. Evan opened the door and looked inside.

Immediately, he slammed the door shut and turned to Carlos and Kendall, "We have to get out of here, NOW!"

"Why? What is it?" Kendall asked.

"Mr. and Mrs. Pierce are dead," Evan revealed. "We were too late." Kendall and Carlos stared at the door in horror.

"I thought that they were after us!" Kendall exclaimed.

"They are!" Evan responded. "But they're going after us emotionally first before going after us physically! But it's not gonna work! We're gonna beat them!"

"Are you sure they're dead and not just sleeping?" Carlos mentioned.

"Uh, when their chests have bleeding holes in them, I'm guessing that means they're dead," Evan replied. "We've gotta find the others and go!" He led Kendall and Carlos back to the stairs.

James, Logan and Katrina looked around the kitchen. James found baby bottles in the fridge, Logan was looking through papers and Katrina stared at the blinking light on the home phone.

"I'm sorry," Katrina told the boys. They looked at her curiously. "About the relationships. I hope that I didn't put a dent on your friendship." Logan and James looked at each other before they burst into laughter. "What? I'm trying to be serious here!"

"Logan and I have been best friends for years," James replied. "Nothing can come between us. Not even a super hot model like you."

"Besides, it's not like you cheated on me," Logan added. "We weren't technically dating when you got with James."

"So, we're cool then?" Katrina checked. The boys nodded their heads. "Okay then, back to this mystery. I think there's a message on this machine. Think it might have something to do with this?"

Before either boy could answer, Carlos, Kendall and Evan rushed into the room.

"Emily's parents are dead!" Evan exclaimed. Logan, James and Katrina froze in terror. "It wasn't us that was gonna die, it was them! We have to go before the police get here!"

"Why?" Katrina asked. "We didn't do anything wrong! If anything, we should call them! If they found out we were here and left, we'll be suspects!"

"Katrina's right," Logan mentioned. "We have to be the ones to call them. You always run. The Zizi would expect you to run."

"Fine, we'll call," Evan gave in, pulling out his cell phone.

"But first, I wanna check out this message on the answering machine," Katrina announced. She pressed the button on the machine.

"One unheard message," the mechanical voice from the answering machine stated.

There was a beep and Mrs. Pierce's voice came out of the machine, "Evan, I don't know of any other way to reach you, but I'm guessing you'll figure out that it was me that left the baby for your new family. Hopefully you get this because I have something to tell you. I lied all those years ago. Emily's not dead." Evan dropped his cell phone and grabbed the answering machine, holding onto it as though it was a long lost love. "She was kidnapped by the Zizi and they told us to tell everyone that she died of cancer or they'd kill her. We had to leave our baby with you or they'd kill her. Please find her and rescue her. We'll do all we can to help." Another beep sounded and the blinking light turned off.

"We have to find her," Evan insisted, clutching the answering machine to his chest. "We have to! Or –" He cut himself off, still clinging to the machine. Ignoring the concerned looks of the others, Evan sat down on the ground, mumbling to himself.

"Uh, I think someone else is gonna have to call the police," Carlos realized.

"I'm on it," Kendall pulled out his cell phone.

After explaining the situation to the police and handing over little Rebecca to child services, the group went back to 2J. They found Camille, Jo and Brandon there, working with the mechanical babies.

"Finally, you're back!" Brandon got up. "I'm so not good with babies. And this is your project, not mine." He noticed the looks on the group's faces and he groaned. "What happened now?" Evan collapsed into one of the dining chairs.

"Emily's parents are dead," Katrina got the others up to speed. "And Emily's alive, but being held captive by the Zizi."

"Emily, let go!" Dusty squawked.

Evan perked up at that, "That bird has seen Emily." He rushed over to Dusty's cage. Shaking it, he demanded, "Where is she, bird?!" Dusty squawked as he flapped his wings as though trying to get Evan to leave him alone.

"Evan! You're hurting Dusty!" Katrina exclaimed. Sensing that Katrina was about to get out of her wheelchair, Kendall quickly went over to pull Evan away from the birdcage. Dusty relaxed immediately.

"No wonder animals hate you," Kendall mentioned.

"That bird knows more than it's letting on!" Evan pointed accusingly at Dusty. "I need to get it out! I need to save her!" He sat down on the ground, punching the floor. Frustration was evident on his face. "There's no collateral anymore. Her parents are dead. They're gonna kill her."

Suddenly, Camille sighed, "I have to go practice for an audition." She stormed out of the apartment, rubbing one of her eyes. The others watched her leave in confusion.

"What was that about?" Carlos asked.

"I should go talk to her," Jo decided. She left the apartment before anyone could ask what she wanted to talk about.

"Anyone else notice that Camille's been acting weird lately?" Logan asked. "I mean, weirder than usual."

"Yeah, she hasn't been around as much," Katrina added. She would have gone on, but one of the mechanical babies started crying. Knowing that none of the guys would jump at the chance to work with the babies, Katrina rolled her wheelchair over to the babies to stop the crying.

Evan stood up, determined, "I'm gonna do whatever it takes to find her." He gave Dusty a glare before running out of the apartment.

"We should probably keep Dusty as far away from Evan as possible," James realized.

"A little help over here!" Katrina called out to the boys. "I only have two hands! And more of them are crying!" In a flash, James, Carlos and Brandon had disappeared out of the room. Logan and Kendall sighed before they went over to help out Katrina.

By the end of the week, the competitions were over. The couples had gone through a timed diaper changing competition which Kendall and Jo won. They also went through a cooking contest where, to everyone's surprise, Carlos and Jennifer beat the others.

It was the last day of the project so everyone had to go through the baby and couple evaluation. After the teens gave a survey on their partner and relinquished their babies to their teacher, Miss Collins began calling in the couples one by one. James, Carlos, Jett and the Jennifers had already gone and Kendall and Jo were in the classroom, getting evaluated. Logan, Katrina, Evan and Camille waited in the lobby for their turn.

Kendall and Jo came out of the classroom with smiles on their faces.

"Nailed it," Jo announced.

"Logan, Katrina, you're up next," Kendall told them. Logan and Katrina braced themselves before Logan rolled Katrina's wheelchair into the classroom. Miss Collins was sitting behind her desk. She gestured to the two chairs in front of it. Logan sat in one while Katrina just stayed in her wheelchair.

"So, how did things go this week?" Miss Collins asked.

"It was kind of hard at first," Katrina admitted. "Two is a whole lot of work. And that real baby thing made things even more complicated."

"But after that, things went smoothly," Logan finished. "Although, we could have done without the babies crying in the middle of the night."

"That's what real babies do," Miss Collins reminded them. "And what about your relationship with each other?" Logan and Katrina looked at each other as they had a flashback to the day before.

Logan and Katrina were sitting on the orange couch. While Katrina fed the boy mechanical baby, Logan read a book. He flipped the page just as his phone buzzed. Looking down at it, Logan found a text. He grimaced as he read it.

"What's wrong?" Katrina asked.

"Gustavo wants me to come into the studio," Logan revealed. "We should pack up the babies and go."

"No, you go on ahead without me," Katrina insisted, finishing up with the feeding and putting the fake baby back in its carrier. "I've got this."

"Are you sure?" Logan checked. Katrina nodded. "Okay, call if you need me to come home." He grabbed his phone and got up. Not realizing what he was doing, Logan continued. "Love you." He leaned down and gave her a quick kiss on her lips.

Katrina smiled as he pulled away, "Love you too." She watched him leave the apartment. Picking up a magazine, she paged through it, looking the celebrity gossip. She noticed that people still going on about her and James. "I really have to do something about this Jamina thing. I don't know where they keep getting these stories. They're all made up."

Suddenly, Katrina dropped her magazine as she realized what she and Logan had just done. Logan seemed to have just gotten it too as he burst through the door. Katrina stared at him.

"What did you just say?!" both of them exclaimed simultaneously.

"It was-It was a slip of the tongue," Logan assured her.

"Well, there definitely wasn't any tongue in that kiss," Katrina responded.

"We have to act like a couple," Logan continued to try and justify his and Katrina's actions. "That was something that married couples do. We were just caught up in the moment."

"Of course," Katrina agreed. "Just caught up in the moment."

Logan pointed at the door, "I should go." Before Katrina could say another word, he was gone.

"By the end, it felt like we were an old married couple," Logan mentioned.

"We worked well together," Katrina added. "It was perfect."

"No complaints?" Miss Collins seemed surprised. The teens shook their heads. "Well, you'll get your grades on Monday. Send in Evan and Camille." Logan wheeled Katrina out of the room where they told Evan and Camille that it was their turn. Coming inside, Evan and Camille sat in front of Miss Collins' desk.

"Tell me about your week," Miss Collins began.

"At first, everything was fine," Camille replied. "But then this idiot found out about his long lost girlfriend and I had to do all the work."

"Hey, she's still out there!" Evan defended his actions. "And alive! I thought she was dead for EIGHT YEARS! Excuse me for trying to find her!"

"Where are the leads then, huh?!" Camille retorted. "There are none! You're on a wild goose chase! She might be dead anyways!"

"DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT!" Evan yelled, getting to his feet. The two of them quarreled while Miss Collins wrote notes down on a piece of paper.

After a minute of fighting, Miss Collins interrupted them, "Okay, I think I've seen enough. You can go now." Evan and Camille exchanged confused looks before they left the classroom.

Later that day, Big Time Rush and Wolff Pack were at Rocque Records. The bands were working on new songs. Katrina, Evan and Brandon watched Carlos, James, Kendall and Logan in the recording booth, waiting for their turn. Gustavo and Kelly were watching the guys too.

"Can we hurry this up?" Evan rushed. "I've got stuff to do."

"This will take all the time we need!" Gustavo yelled at him. He turned to the guys in the booth. "Dogs. Begin." Gustavo pressed a button on the control board and Kendall, James and Logan began the song.

And right from the start
You had to break my heart

Carlos jumped in, entirely too happy for the song's theme. He snapped his fingers as he sang alone.

And now I can't find all the pieces, yeah!

"Cut!" Gustavo yelled. "Cut!" He pulled off his headphones. "Carlos, this is a song about when a girl destroys your heart. So, why are you singing SO HAPPY?!" The guys winced as they backed away slightly.

"Uh, because I'm happy?" Carlos answered with a slight questioning to his voice. Gustavo threw his hands in the air in disbelief.

"Carlos," Kelly tried, "Just try to remember the first time a girl broke your heart."

James laughed and leaned in to speak in the microphone, "Uh, for that to happen, he'd have to have a first girlfriend." Logan and Kendall laughed at Carlos's expense. Evan and Brandon even chuckled.

Katrina rolled her eyes and elbowed the two boys next to her, "Be nice." Evan and Brandon shut up.

Carlos laughed sarcastically for a second before he declared, "DIE!" That said, Carlos attacked James. James quickly fought back. Kendall and Logan had to rush forward to stop them. Katrina facepalmed. Evan and Brandon burst into laughter again, not stopping when Katrina gave them a glare.

Suddenly, Gustavo pressed a big red button on the control board. A piercing sound rang through the booth, making the boys stop their fighting to cover their ears and scream. A blinding white light shined in their eyes. This made Katrina join in with the laughing.

"Your new 'Stop Fight' button works," Kelly mentioned.

Gustavo let go of the button so he could address the guys, "I'll make some changes to the break-up song and I'll record you all later. Separately. Until then." He pressed another button on the control board and the wall of the recording booth pushed the guys out of it. The laughter from Wolff Pack ceased immediately as they stared at the now empty recording booth in horror.

"New 'Eject' button works too," Kelly realized.

"Yep," Gustavo replied. Katrina, Evan and Brandon got up and rushed towards the door. "Don't you three DARE leave this room." They froze. "Can you NOT FAIL today so I can call this day somewhat productive?!" The three friends exchanged nervous looks. "Kelly, give them the lyric sheets for Careless Whisper. Cat, Wolf and Goat, you're gonna be doing a cover of George Michael's song because I'm still working on your genre."

"George Michael isn't our genre," Evan reminded him.

"I KNOW THAT!" Gustavo screamed as Kelly handed the three members of the band their song. "I've been working with it to make it INTO your genre! Let's see how I did." The three of them glanced at each other again before they went into the recording booth.

Before Gustavo could start the music, Big Time Rush stormed into the room, complaining about what Gustavo had just done.

"That was really rude!" Kendall began.

"You ruined my happy mood!" Carlos added.

"That machine thing almost squashed us!" Logan complained.

"If you wanted us out, you should have just told us!" James finished.

"SHUT UP!" Gustavo yelled. The boys went quiet. "Now, watch the one band that HASN'T disappointed me! YET!" He glared at Wolff Pack as though daring the three of them to do something stupid. "And start." Gustavo pressed a button, starting the music. The three of them inside the booth bobbed their heads to the music. Evan sang first.

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
There's something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad goodbyes

Katrina jumped in so both she and her brother were singing the chorus.

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool

Brandon jumped in with a line.

You know I ain't a fool, girl

Katrina and Evan continued on with the chorus.

I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Looking up, Katrina gained eye contact with Logan as she sang her solo.

Time can never mend, ooh
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you'll find

Evan joined her so they could sing the chorus again with Brandon taking his line again.

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
(You know I ain't a fool, girl)
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Brandon came into the song with a solo.

Slow down
You know you're moving too fast
You know that I don't dance
But you insist to take my hands
And to the beat that move our feet
And everyone is watching me
And I don't dance no more
And I ain't leaving my apartment till it's after evening
Bars are closing down and every model in the pool hall's drinking
I turn the jukebox on
To play my favorite song
Where we sing along
I don't dance no more

Katrina took over with a smile.

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Baby, it's better this way
We'd hurt each other with the things we want to say

Evan pushed his voice as Katrina dropped out and he sang.

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever

Brandon interrupted with an improvised line.

Yeah, sing it boy

Having to keep himself from laughing, Evan continued his solo.

But now who's gonna dance with me

All three of them sang the next line.

Please stay

Brandon dropped out so the siblings could sing the chorus again.

I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you're not a fool
(You know I ain't a fool, girl)
I should've known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I've been given
So I'm never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you
And now that you're gone
(To pretend)
(You know I ain't a fool, girl)
And now that you're gone
And now that you're gone
(To pretend)
(You know I ain't a fool, girl)
And now that you're gone

The trio ended the song with smiles on their faces. Gustavo cut off the recording and pressed a button to talk to them, "Thank you for not being horrible." The three of them gave each other high-fives. "Don't cheer! Do it again!"

"Gustavo, that was good!" Katrina exclaimed.

"Don't make me press the 'Stop Fight' button," Gustavo warned.

"Start the music!" Katrina, Evan and Brandon declared. With a smirk, Gustavo started the music over.

After their recording session, Evan and Brandon went to Penny's Pet Care for work while the others went back to the Palm Woods. While Logan, Carlos and James were in the pool with Camille, Kendall and Katrina were talking in the lobby as he waited for Jo to come back from her rehearsal. Katrina had a composition book in her lap filled with songs she was working on. So that she could get some exercise, she was using her crutches which were leaning up against her chair.

"Make sure you're free during the day for your birthday," Katrina insisted. "You can have the night with Jo, but Evan, Katie and I have plans for you."

"Does this include the guys?" Kendall asked.

"You'll have to wait to find out," Katrina replied. "It's a surprise." Kendall tried to get it out of her, but Katrina just laughed at his attempts.

Suddenly, the two of them were interrupted by James who had walked in, decked out in a prince costume. He smacked the script he had in his hand against the couch next to Kendall, "I don't care if she's a robot! I'm in love with her." After the random line, James walked off.

"Good for you!" Kendall called after him.

"I'm surprised I don't find that more shocking," Katrina mentioned.

"Sorry!" Jo's voice made Kendall and Katrina turn to her. "My scene ran late." Kendall told his goodbyes to his cousin as he grabbed the smoothies from the table so he could greet his girlfriend. Katrina turned them out as she focused her attention on her work.

"But, we're together now," Kendall told Jo. "And I got us his-and-her smoothies." Jo gave him a smile as she reached for the pink one. "The pink one's mine." Jo rolled her eyes and reached for the blue one instead.

She didn't get a chance to grab it before her phone went off. Pulling it out, Jo looked at it and groaned, making Katrina look up in interest, "They just moved up my next scene. I have to go. But, this means I'm free for lunch."

"Picnic in the park?" Kendall offered.

"It's a date," Jo confirmed.

"Oh," Mr. Bitters spoke from behind the front desk, "Somebody better jump in the pool cause they just got BURNED!" Katrina and Katie, who was standing next to the front desk, looked at Mr. Bitters in shock.

"What are you talking about?" Katie asked. "She just made another date for lunch."

"Don't you guys have anything better to do?" Kendall checked.

"Cable's down till tomorrow," Katie revealed.

Katrina groaned at the sudden news, "Dang, there was that show on Animal Channel I wanted to catch."

"But watching your relationship succumb to the pressures of Hollywood is pretty good," Mr. Bitters mentioned.

"Wow," Katie seemed surprised. "Something we actually agree on." She and Mr. Bitters fist-bumped.

"You two are horrible," Katrina told them. "Hey Kendall. Since Jo isn't having that blue one, can I have it?" Kendall sat down by her and gave her the smoothie. "Thanks!" Katrina took a sip and then put it on the table so the two of them could get back to talking again.

They didn't have long before James appeared again. This time, he came up to Katrina. Pulling her up out of her chair, he held her close to him, saying a random line, "Now that the evil in your country has been destroyed, we can finally be together, my dear princess." He kissed her on the lips and Katrina's eyes went wide.

Mr. Bitters pulled out a camera from behind the desk, "This is gonna get me TONS of money!" He brought the camera to his face to take a picture, but before he could, Katie pushed the camera out of his hands. Mr. Bitters turned to her, "So not cool!"

James let go of Katrina and lowered her back into her chair. Before Katrina could yell at him, James ran off, knowing she couldn't chase him.

"That boy is so dead the next time I see him," Katrina mumbled, going back to her composition book.

When Logan came back from his Venus lecture, he ran into Katrina who was still in the lobby. She looked up from her composition book to greet him, "Hey Logan! Have fun at your Venus thing?" She closed the book to concentrate on the boy in front of her.

"Yeah!" Logan seemed enthusiastic, "Did you know that one day, or one complete turn on its axis, is actually longer than its year?"

Katrina blinked as she stared at him, "All I know about Venus is that it's extremely hot, it's named after the Roman Goddess of beauty and love and it's the second planet from the sun."

"Well, I'm glad that I taught you something then," Logan replied, playing with the model of Venus in his hands. "Heading back to the apartment?"

"In a little bit," Katrina told him. "I have to finish this thought right here or I'll lose it."

"Okay, see you later," Logan gave her a sweet smile which she returned. She watched as Logan headed for the elevators, waiting for him to get into one of them before she focused back on her work.

"I don't see why everyone thinks they should be together," Mr. Bitters' words made Katrina look over at him and Katie in annoyance. "I think she should pick James. They have that whole love/hate relationship going for them. It really makes you wanna lock them in a room together to see if they'll either make-out or kill each other."

"Nah, she's better with Logan," Katie insisted. "They've got that cuteness factor about their relationship. You know the scenes that are so cheesy that they make you wanna puke? That's Logan and Katrina."

"But those relationships never work out in the end," Mr. Bitters pointed out. "The audience wants drama and that's what comes from James and Katrina. Not to mention that Logan's still with Camille."

"Yeah, they probably won't be breaking up unless Camille does something completely stupid like kiss Katrina's brother," Katie added. Katrina gagged at the words she was hearing.

"Or Logan does something stupid," Mr. Bitters suggested. "He might be book smart, but with relationships, he's super indecisive. Which leads to the whole will they/won't they thing with Logan and Katrina."

"You do realize that I can hear every word you're saying, right?" Katrina told them.

"I still say they will," Katie mentioned, completely ignoring the teen model. "Katrina doesn't seem like she's gonna let him get away this time. She's silently fighting for it. Waiting for the right move. Just like her family, she goes after what she wants. Like me though, she's sneaky about it. Kendall and Evan are more straightforward. They dive headfirst in."

"I say they won't," Mr. Bitters shook his head. "There's a reason why they don't put the couple together until the very end. After they're together, then what happens? All their scenes together are gonna be cute, cheesy, and barf-worthy. Everyone wants to see them get together, but once they do. BAM! Nothing else to root for. The story dies."

"Oh come on," Katie responded. "Even if they got together, people would still be interested! There's that whole mystery behind the Wolffs. If she starts dating him, he'll be in danger too cause there's the possibility of them getting married and having kids. Their enemies don't wanna see that because it makes their job harder. So, they'll do all they can to shut down the relationship in the early stages. Which means drama. Which is something that the audience loves. Plus there's the whole James, Evan and Camille factors. I mean, Camille is Katrina's frienemy. Think about what would happen if Logan and Katrina got together. She might go crazy. And James SAYS he's cool with it, but when he doesn't have a girlfriend and his friend has an old one of his, things could get tense and cause even more drama."

"But that still doesn't have the whole will they/won't they thing that everyone loves to see," Mr. Bitters pointed out.

"That's where Evan comes in," Katie replied. "Think about it. Will he find this mysterious Emily that he's been pining for his whole life or will he find someone here at the Palm Woods? And, if he does find Emily, is she going to be the same person that she was before or someone completely different. This mystery girl will be Evan's will they/won't they."

"What about the love/hate relationship that some people root for?" Mr. Bitters brought up. "I don't see Evan having a love/hate relationship with anyone like Katrina had with James."

"I'm sure that there's gotta be a love/hate relationship that pops up somewhere," Katie insisted. "Besides, eventually someone's gonna make a move and that love rectangle between James, Logan, Katrina and Camille is gonna break apart."

"Ten bucks says that it'll be James and Katrina," Mr. Bitters bet. Katrina glared at them with her mouth open in shock.

"Oh, you're on!" Katie agreed.

"I can't believe you're betting on my future relationships!" Katrina exclaimed. Katie and Mr. Bitters looked at her with surprise as though they just realized she was there.

"She's talking to herself," Mr. Bitters observed. "James does that too. Told you they're perfect together."

"Nah, they're too much alike," Katie shook her head. "They both have that ambition about them. If they got together, they'd have passion at first. But when they weren't kissing is when things would go bad between them. They wouldn't have anything to talk about so they'd find flaws in each other and argue about them, breaking them up. Besides, talking to herself means she's crazy. Exactly Logan's type."

"That does it," Katrina put her composition book in her bag. "I'm leaving." She put her bag around her arm, grabbed her crutches and used them to get to the elevator.

"You know what?" Mr. Bitters spoke up. "We might both be wrong and she'll end up all alone with fifty cats."

"She's a model, not you!" Katie reminded him. "She could have practically any guy she wanted just by looks alone!"

"Wasn't one of James's goals to marry a hot model?" Mr. Bitters realized. "He might be biding his time, waiting for Logan to mess up so he can snag his future model wife."

"Still don't see it," Katie insisted, walking away. Mr. Bitters stroked his chin as he watched the elevator doors closed Katrina inside.

(A/N): Who do you agree with? Katie or Mr. Bitters? Is Katrina better with Logan or James? And what does Evan have to say about all of this? Is he going to give up on Emily, that we now know is alive, and go with Camille or will Emily show up and take what used to be hers? I guess a better question would be: Will they FIND Emily before something happens to her? Is this chapter the last we see of little baby Rebecca? Dusty's back in the picture and seems to know more than he's letting on. But, as he's a bird, they can't really interrogate him, can they? Will Dusty give them a hint they can work with? Will it happen in time before the Zizi strike again? A little on the lighter side, what does Katrina, Evan and Katie have planned for Kendall for his birthday? And how is this episode gonna end? Will Lorina FINALLY be a couple? Well, a permanent one in the spotlight? You'll have to wait to find out! I'll try to get it done in a week because I'm moving into my apartment up at school next week and I don't wanna leave you hanging. Until next time, happy reading!
