(A/N): Okay everyone. Here's another chapter. We're very close to the end of the Hospital of Horrors! The next chapter concludes the special. So, thank you to these people for your reviews: Dreamer1992 (Lol, I see what you did there…), Cassie btrlover (You'll get to see why Kendall's getting sick all of a sudden in this chapter! And it might be a little hard for them to start in Katrina's original room…), Shattered Past (Yay! I'm so happy that you're enjoying it! And I hope this was soon enough!), Awesmazing (Yeah… James and his vampire problems… Too bad. Katrina really did seem into him there. But I had to do it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find a way to get her out of that part of her coma dream. As for Jamina… There might still be some chance for them if you can believe it. Although, it all has to do with what you readers think. There will be more information on that in the next chapter!), Derba (Ooh, so close. But I love that you're guessing! You'll see why Kendall is getting sick in this chapter!) and Witch Demigoddess (Come on, I can't kill off Big Time Rush! It would mean the end of this series! As for the other characters… No comment… And yeah, things are kind of tough around my house right now. My sister's surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. Hopefully everything will go fine. I just wish I could be there for her, but I have school.).
As always, I do not own Big Time Rush nor the episode Big Time Halloween which is, finally, started in this chapter. Now, enjoy!
Chapter 74: Intellect Saves The Day
Katrina was slumped back on the couch, head in one of her hands. Around her, boys were recounting every play of their hockey game win. Buying food at the rink had been a mistake because as soon as the boys had won, Katrina's dad had declared for them to have a party at their house. Since Evan was home for the weekend, he had brought home some of his college teammates which happily joined the party to talk even more about hockey.
Realizing that no one was going to pay attention to her, Katrina left for the kitchen where her mom was hiding out with Mrs. Knight and Katie.
"Are they gone yet?" Mrs. Witkowsky asked her daughter. Katrina shook her head. "Darn. I love those boys, but I hate it when they win games. They destroy this house with their victory parties."
"How many hot college guys are out there?" Katie asked. "Mom won't let me go near them."
"Not until you're in high school," Mrs. Knight added.
"Mom," Katrina decided to ignore her aunt and cousin. "I'm getting tired so I'm heading up to my room. You know, in case the guys come looking for me."
"Okay," Mrs. Witkowsky nodded. "Night, sweetheart." Katrina left them and headed up the stairs to her room.
"Okay," James spoke to himself. "I can do this." Taking a deep breath, he rocked in his spot on the conveyor belt. He tipped close to the side, but moved right back to the moving conveyor belt. Groaning, he stared at the flames in the oven that was getting closer.
After readying himself again, James rocked as hard as possible. Finally, he fell off and hit the ground on his side. His head hit hard enough for James to completely pass out.
Katrina undid her braided pigtails while she looked in the one full length mirror in her room that was on her bedroom door. Sighing, she tossed her hairties and ribbons on her dresser. With a longing glance, she stared at her closet door, wondering when she would be able to leave the fake world she found herself in.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Logan's voice rang through, "Kat? Can I come in?" With a sigh, Katrina opened the door to her bedroom.
"What?" Katrina asked. "I thought you'd want to hang out with the guys, discussing hockey."
"Did you forget that I'm more into becoming a doctor than a hockey player?" Logan reminded her. "And I'm worried about you. You're not acting like yourself."
"And how am I normally?" Katrina asked. "Because I feel like I don't belong here."
Logan reached over and placed a hand on her arm, "Don't say that. You're one of our best friends! Of course you belong here!"
Katrina sighed and pulled away to go sit on her bed, "I don't know. Maybe I just need something exciting to happen. Like a mystery to solve or some trip or something."
Sitting down next to her, Logan seemed to consider her words, "Well, tomorrow is Saturday. We can try doing something then."
"Or maybe we can try something now," Katrina suggested. Before Logan could ask what she meant, Katrina leaned over and placed her lips on his. Logan's eyes went wide in surprise as the girl kissed him. A few seconds in, Logan's eyes fluttered shut and he kissed her back. Katrina smiled into the kiss, thinking that she had beaten the friend-zone. Placing a hand under her chin, Logan tilted Katrina's head up so he could deepen the kiss. By the time they broke apart, they were breathless.
"I see where this is going," Logan whispered against her lips.
"This is fun, isn't it?" Katrina whispered back.
"Oh yeah," Logan agreed. He leaned in to take her lips again.
"HEY!" A voice made them break apart immediately after. Standing in the doorway was James. The pretty boy stared at the two of them in shock.
"Crap," Katrina mumbled. "And back to the love triangle."
James ignored her and instead talked to Logan, "What are you doing?"
"She started it!" Logan blamed Katrina. She stared at him in disbelief. "I just kissed her back!"
"Kat," James shook his head as he looked at the girl. "You know that we agreed to never do this on game day." Katrina furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
"Doing this on game day after the game would reward us for winning," Logan pointed out.
"You just wanna make-out with her more," James replied.
"Don't you?" Logan asked. "Come on, we don't have to tell Carlos and Kendall."
James used his foot to shut the door, "Let's do this." Before Katrina could ask what he was talking about, James had already crossed the room, pinned her down on the bed and smashed his lips against hers. Katrina's eyes went wide as she felt James's tongue push its way into her mouth and Logan's lips began tracing their way up her arm.
"Okay, so Kendall, James, Carlos and Logan are missing," Brandon recapped. "Katrina is probably still in her coma, but we wouldn't know because she's gone too. Evan and Camille have been arrested and aren't going to be released until we find the others and prove that Evan and Camille didn't kidnap them."
"We already know that," Katie responded.
"I know," Brandon nodded. "Just wanted to sum up everything."
"Where do we start?" Jo asked.
"I'm guessing that we try from where we last saw them," Tim suggested. "So, Katrina's old room."
"But that floor's been shut down," Jo reminded them.
"There must be a way to get in," Brandon thought out loud.
"If there is, I'll find it," Katie declared, heading for the door. "Give me a few minutes and we'll be in." She left the room right as Gustavo, Kelly and Griffin walked in.
Gustavo looked around the room before yelling, "WHERE ARE MY DOGS?!"
Noticing that Katrina wasn't in the hospital bed, Griffin added, "And where is my money-making, comatose model?" Gustavo and Kelly looked at him weirdly.
When no one gave an answer, Kelly spoke, "Oh no. Something bad happened, didn't it?" She got her answer from Brandon's, Jo's, Mrs. Knight's and Tim's heads nodding.
Sweat glistened on Katrina's forehead as her lips moved with Logan's. She moaned as James nuzzled up against her ear, leaving slow kisses and small bite marks around it. While one of her hands tangled in Logan's hair, the other ran along James's bare chest since the boy took his shirt off when the heat went up due to their make-out session.
Suddenly, they were interrupted by the door opening. Kendall walked in, saying, "Kat, have you seen – oh." Blushing, Katrina pulled away from her two make-out partners. Kendall sighed, "Really guys? Thanks for leaving me and Carlos out."
Carlos poked his head into the room, "Leave us out of what?" He noticed the position that James, Logan and Katrina were in. "Sweet! Make-out session!" He raced over to them and attacked Katrina with his lips. Katrina was so caught off guard that she dropped her jaw and her arms flailed around. Carlos took advantage of her open mouth and slammed his tongue in.
"As much as I think we shouldn't do this on game day," Kendall began. "We do need to celebrate our win somehow." He shut the door and locked it before joining the others on the bed.
Kendall was lying on the couch in Katrina's hospital room, eyes closed and hand on forehead. His hair was drenched in sweat as his body battled the fever that was coming on suddenly. He kept his eyes closed both because the sweat was dripping in them and whenever he looked at the lights, a tremendous headache throbbed in his head.
"What is going on with me?" Kendall whispered to himself. He opened his eyes slightly only to have to quickly shut them, groaning at the headache that attacked his mind.
Upon hearing a moan from Katrina, Kendall turned his head towards her. After a quick mental preparedness, he opened his eyes to check on her. She wasn't moving. Sighing, Kendall tried to get up off the couch, but ended up rolling onto the floor. He slowly made his way over to Katrina where he used her bed to help him to his feet. Quickly, he glanced over his cousin.
Katrina seemed to be affected by whatever was ailing Kendall. Her skin glistened in sweat while her hair stuck to her bedding because of the sticky perspiration. Kendall placed a hand on her forehead and noticed that she was warmer than he was. Thinking it had something to do with her being under blankets, he pulled them off of her.
Suddenly, Katrina's breathing got heavier. Kendall furrowed his eyebrows as the girl took labored breaths, "Why are you breathing weird?"
"Why are you breathing weird?" Kendall asked Katrina as he made his way over to her. Carlos, Logan and James watched from their spots on Katrina's bed while Katrina backed away from her approaching cousin.
"Uh," Katrina mumbled. "Because kissing my cousin is weird."
"You didn't complain yesterday," Kendall mentioned. Katrina's back hit her closet door and she realized she had nowhere else to go. Kendall smirked, taking off his shirt. Eyes going wide, Katrina found that she couldn't look away from his exposed chest. The distraction allowed Kendall a chance to pin Katrina against the door. Kendall leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Come on, Kat. I can tell that you want this."
"Didn't you say that kissing your cousin on the lips is weird?" Katrina reminded him.
"Cover," Kendall explained. "No one would understand the real relationship that the five of us share. You know that. And, before you ask, those other girls are just distractions from you." Kendall placed a hand on her cheek.
Kendall's hand went from Katrina's cheek to her forehead, "You're still not getting any better." After turning his head to cough, Kendall checked for anything that could bring their body temperatures down that was within reach. He found nothing. Sighing, Kendall looked back down at his cousin. "Please don't make me have to save you in a very awkward way." Katrina's breathing only came out in gasps. "I don't have a choice, do I?" With a sigh, Kendall wiped the sweat from his forehead before holding Katrina's head still and slowly started to lean in. He stopped so close to her that his breath was mixing in with Katrina's.
Kendall leaned in so his lips were almost touching Katrina's. She closed her eyes, wincing as her hands scrambled along the door.
Suddenly, Katrina found the doorknob to her closet door. Quickly, she turned it and wrenched open the door. Not being ready for the loss of support, Katrina fell in the closet. Kendall fell in after, landing right on top of her.
Katrina's breathing went back to normal and Kendall sighed in relief. He pulled away and looked down at her. Although she was slowly getting back to normal, she also seemed to be retaining some of the same symptoms Kendall had. Mainly, she was still sweating so much that she could have filled a dunk tank with it.
"There must be something in the air," Kendall reasoned. Groaning, he collapsed, leaning against the bed. His head rested on the mattress. "My head." After a slight pause, Kendall noted, "This is really comfy. I wonder if you would mind if I joined you up here." When Katrina didn't say a word due to her comatose position, Kendall just climbed up onto the bed to lie down next to her. "So tired. I'm just gonna –" Kendall cut himself off as he passed out on Katrina's bed.
"Okay," Carlos spoke to himself, staring up at the single light source that was tremendously out of reach. "How do I get up there?"
Suddenly, there was a moan and Carlos jumped at the sound. He watched as someone poked their head out of the garbage. Squinting his eyes, Carlos identified the girl as Emily.
"Ugh," Emily mumbled. "That stupid Cody. Throwing me in here."
"Emily?" Carlos got her attention.
The blonde girl smiled at him, "Thank God I'm not the only one here. And there's no one else that I'd rather have in here with me."
"You might want someone that could figure out a way up there," Carlos completely ignored the flirtatious way that Emily had spoken to him.
"I'm sure you'll figure it out," Emily insisted. Carlos froze as Emily leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"You can count on me!" Carlos declared. With enthusiasm, he dug into the bags of garbage, searching for a way out.
Katrina groaned as she slowly opened her eyes. She was back in the black area with two doors. Kendall got up off of her, put on a shirt and headed over to join Evan on the couch.
"Brilliant acting," Evan complimented his cousin. "You really looked like you had a thing for Kat."
"I am related to idiots," Katrina complained.
"You know you love us," Kendall replied. "Now, what's the truth in that one? Make a good guess. I'm betting double that you'll get it in the first five guesses." Sighing, Katrina got up on her feet and faced them.
"Really?" Katrina gave them an exasperated look. "I can't believe you keep betting on me."
"Don't blame us," Evan shrugged. "You're the one dreaming this." Katrina sighed, shaking her head. "Now, take the most outlandish guess that you can think of."
"No," Kendall insisted. "Think about your answer first."
Katrina looked at the door she had come out of, "So, that truth has something to do with Evan or the Zizi. I didn't see anything about the Zizi in there so it must be about Evan."
Evan made a buzzer noise, "Try again."
"It's about the Zizi?" Katrina stared at them, surprised. The boys nodded. "Wow. That changes my guess. Um, the Zizi are the reason we live in California?"
"Close," Kendall advised. "That's two. Come on, Kat."
"Well, the Zizi hate that we're celebrities," Katrina reasoned. "But in that weird world, we weren't famous. Yet, there was no Zizi." Katrina smiled as she got it. "The Zizi are the reason we're famous." She heard the sound of a trumpet fanfare and the door disappeared.
"HA!" Kendall told Evan. "Third guess! Pay up." Grumbling, Evan handed the cash over to Kendall. "Okay, Kat. Last one." Taking a deep breath, Katrina went through the last door.
"I'm telling you the truth!" Evan insisted. "I'm innocent!" He was handcuffed to the table in the interrogation room.
"I don't believe you," the police officer replied. "We have video evidence of you attacking Logan and James with an accomplice and then carrying them off camera."
"Well, then someone must have photoshopped it because I didn't do it!" Evan continued to defend himself.
"I highly doubt that someone could photoshop it this well," the police officer responded. "And you would be our number one suspect anyways because of James's and Logan's relationships with your sister."
"Then, what about my sister?" Evan brought up. "I would never harm her."
"See, we're not so sure that you're telling the truth," the police officer spoke to him. "The last time Katrina was put into a coma like this, she was in the passenger seat of your car."
"And that was because we were hit by a car," Evan explained. "It had nothing to do with me."
"Unless you paid that driver to run the car into you," the police officer reasoned. "We never did find the driver of that car. Plus, the car was reported stolen beforehand so it could have been anyone."
Evan stared at the man in disbelief for a few seconds before saying, "I want a lawyer."
Katrina walked into the main room of apartment 2J. The room was decked out in spooky gear. From a candelabra sitting on the coffee table to cobwebs lining the windows and everything else, it looked like Mrs. Knight had really gone out for Halloween. She and Katie were dressed in witches' costumes, putting stuff inside of a cauldron. Kendall peeked out the window through the blinds and Evan sat on the couch, reading a dog magazine. Katrina relaxed because, while things were unusually spooky, she chalked it up to her mind reminding her that Halloween was nearby.
"Why do you keep looking out the window?" Mrs. Knight asked Kendall.
"Just checking how long before, you know!" Kendall replied.
"What's the big deal?" Katie mentioned as she put a rat into whatever potion the witches were concocting.
"The big deal is Jo's coming up and I sort of never told her that I'm a werewolf!" Kendall admitted.
"Wait, you're WHAT?!" Katrina exclaimed, getting everyone to look at her.
"Looks like the fairy child's up from her nap," Evan gave her a smile before going back to his magazine.
"Fairy?" Katrina tilted her head in confusion. Suddenly, a noise caught her attention. It sounded like the sound effect someone uses when sparkles and glitter are being thrown around. Slowly, Katrina turned her head to look behind her. Blocking her vision was a set of wings. "What the?" Frantically, she spun around in a circle, trying to grab hold of the pink colored, swirly wings that sparkles seemed to fall from. When she failed, she raced over to the mirror and stared at herself in it, jaw dropping. A short pink dress with only one strap over her left shoulder covered her body. It had a white ribbon around her waist to enforce her skinny waistline. Pink, high-heeled boots that matched the color of her dress laced up to her knees. Pink and white glitter covered her body, making her shine even in the low light. Sparkles lined the fabric that made her dress. Pink highlights replaced her blonde ones. "Holy crap, I'm a fairy." Before she could stop herself, a high-pitched giggle escaped from her. Once it stopped, she stared at herself in the mirror in horror. "I'd rather go back to James sucking my blood than this."
Ignoring her, Mrs. Knight turned to her son, "How have you kept it from her this long?"
"The same way I'm going to tonight," Kendall insisted. He started to pretend cough. "I'll say that I'm sick." He stopped fake coughing to look at his mom with a smile. "Or that you grounded me."
"I don't get why you don't want her to know you're a werewolf," Evan spoke up. "When I tell girls that I'm one, they get all excited, thinking I'm going to imprint on them or something and be their soulmate. It gets me tons of hook-ups. Plus, they love playing fetch with me." He looked back at his magazine. "This shampoo says that it helps with making dog's hair shiny." Evan ran a hand through his hair. "I could use some shine." Katrina tried to chuckle, but all that came out was her high-pitched giggle.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Kendall went over to answer it, "And don't say anything about the Halloween Big Night of Fright Party that Monster Pack and we are singing at tonight." Katrina mouthed the words, 'Monster Pack', as Kendall opened the door.
Jo walked in with a smile, "Hey! I ran into Franken-Carlos and he invited me to the Halloween Big Night of Freight Party you're singing at tonight!"
Kendall faked a grin, "Great!"
"Hey, did you know it's a full moon tonight?" Jo told Kendall. Evan burst into laughter and Katrina found herself giving off the giggle that she couldn't stop doing.
"Well, that will get annoying over time," Katrina moaned once she stopped giggling and collapsed next to Evan on the couch.
"Really?" Kendall responded with fake enthusiasm. "I didn't know that!"
"Big party, full moon, our first Halloween together," Jo listed off the good things about that day. "It's gonna be an unforgettable night."
"Oh, you have no idea," Katie mentioned. Kendall pointed to her in warning. Upon the sight of hair growing on his hand, he quickly put it away and turned back to Jo.
"So, you still up for a little fun in the Palm Woods Cemetery?" Jo asked, holding up a Frisbee.
"How about I meet you there in fifteen minutes?" Kendall suggested.
"I'll see you there," Jo responded. She walked away and Kendall quickly closed the door.
"Help me!" Kendall turned to his mom and sister. "Help me, help me, help me. Use your wand and help me."
Mrs. Knight started to wave her wand, but stopped, saying, "Tell Jo the truth."
"No!" Kendall insisted. "Because Jo is a normal. And normals don't usually date snarling, hairy dog beasts."
"Oh, you forgot smelly and drooling," Katie added.
"Dude," Evan spoke as he turned a page in his magazine. "You're screwed unless you say something to her. I'm surprised she hasn't realized it yet since you're related to witches, a werewolf and a fairy." Katrina started to give off her high-pitched giggle, but stopped herself by covering her mouth.
"You, shut up," Kendall told his cousin. He looked back to his sister, "You, poof me up a razor." Katie held up her wand and waved it at his hand. A razor appeared in it. Kendall used it on his hand.
Suddenly, the door opened and James, Carlos and Logan walked in. Katrina's eyes went wide at the sight of them. Logan was a zombie, Carlos looked like his own version of Frankenstein and James was a formally dressed vampire. Remembering her first dream and the vampire bite from James, Katrina tried to hide behind Evan. She failed epically due to her wings giving away her spot.
"The new hot girl," James began. "Is mine. I saw her first. I'm a hot vampire. I WILL BITE YOU!" Katrina couldn't hold her mouth any longer and moved her hand, giving off the high-pitched giggle. The boys froze, staring at Katrina hiding behind Evan. Carlos spoke something incomprehensible making Katrina tilted her head in confusion.
"I don't know why she's hiding," Evan somehow was able to understand Carlos-speak. "She's a fairy. What did you expect? Fairies aren't that smart."
Katrina gasped and pulled out of hiding to glare at Evan, "I resent that!" It was followed by the insane giggle that she could not hold in. She crossed her arms and got up to go join the boys in their line. On the way, she stopped and looked at James, "You keep those fangs away from my neck."
"No problem with that," James agreed. "The last time we made-out, I couldn't get the glitter out of my mouth for three months." He grimaced as he thought about it. Katrina tried to glare at him, but all that came out was a giggle and a smile. Sighing in annoyance, she went over to stand next to Logan as the guys turned to face Kendall.
"Hey, Teen Wolf," Logan greeted his friend. "Wanna practice our dance moves for tonight?"
"Can't," Kendall told them. "Gotta shave my arms to meet up with Jo."
"Alright," James replied. "Well, you're gonna look like a real idiot when you can't do this." He, Carlos and Logan all did a synchronized dance move. It ended with Logan's arm flying off his body and landing in the cauldron that Katie and Mrs. Knight were using. Katrina gasped and then giggled. Frustrated, she held her lips shut.
"Ooh!" Katie seemed happy with the arm in the cauldron. "That'll add some flavor!" She used it to mix the liquid inside.
Logan ran forward and yanked his detached arm back from the witches, "Whoa! No, no. You can't use Righty for one of your smelly witch potions."
"For your information, we are making a cake!" Mrs. Knight revealed.
"It's one smelly cake then," Evan mumbled. Katie waved her wand at him and the magazine in his hands disappeared. "Hey!"
"Don't insult our baking skills!" Katie warned him. "We can send you to the same place as that magazine."
Evan stared at her before asking, "And where was that?"
"Antarctica," Katie revealed.
Hesitating as he weighed in on the options, Evan decided on the safest one, "You know what? I was wrong. It's a marvelous smell! I gotta go meet up with Brandon. Coming Kat?" He got up and headed for the door.
As Katrina followed him, she giggled one more time. In a rage, she yelled, "How do I turn this freaking giggling off?!" Once she finished with those words, another giggle escaped her lips. Sighing, she left the apartment with her brother.
Brandon paced worriedly in Katrina's new hospital room. Gustavo was doing the same thing, mumbling random words under his breath. Kelly, Jo, Mrs. Knight and Tim watched them walk back and forth. Griffin giddily spoke into his phone with a lawyer. The only words the others could make out had to do with suing the hospital for misplacing a patient.
Katie walked into the room, face grim with the bad news she had to tell them, "So, there's no way we're going to be able to check Katrina's old room."
"WHY NOT?!" Gustavo screamed.
"Because, not only is the generator not working, but there's a lot of some poisonous gas that's only on that floor," Katie explained.
"What kind of poisonous gas?" Tim asked.
"I don't know," Katie shook her head. "I couldn't get anything else out of them."
"The guys and Katrina must be up there," Jo reasoned. "How are we supposed to get to them now?"
As eyes turned to Brandon, the boy shrugged, "I don't know! I can't come up with anything! I don't have the natural instincts that Evan and Kat have! Unless we get a miracle, they're doomed!"
Suddenly, a knock on the door got everyone's attention. They looked over to see a girl around Katrina's age standing in the doorway. Her charcoal colored hair stopped midway down her back. Hazel eyes showed confusion as she looked around the room.
"Hi," the girl began. "I was told that this is Katrina Wolff's room? Is that wrong?"
"No, that's right," Jo replied. "But who are you?"
"An old friend from school," the girl informed her. "Who are you?
"You don't know who this is?" Katie pointed at Jo. The new girl shook her head. "Do you watch TV?"
"Wait," Brandon spoke. "If you're an old friend from school, how come I don't remember you?"
"Come on, Brandon, I remember you!" The girl was greeted with a blank stare from Brandon. Sighing, the girl continued, "I didn't want it to come to this, but this will help you remember." She pulled out a pair of glasses and put them over her eyes. "Jinkies, guys! I know what happened!"
Brandon's jaw dropped, "NATALIE BIRD!"
"You got it!" Natalie exclaimed happily, putting away her glasses. "Now, where are Kat and Evan? And who are these people?"
"Look at you!" Brandon ignored her questions. "You lost so much weight! And you don't have to wear your glasses anymore! Where have you been for the past two and a half years?"
"I knew you were going to ask that," Natalie responded. "Well, the only reason that I stayed in school was because of you guys. When Evan disappeared and Kat switched schools, you were really my only reason to stay. But Kat and Evan were gone, you barely talked to me. So, I left school and got my GED. Then, I was accepted at Oxford with a full ride scholarship. I went there for two and a half years and now I'm one online class away from my degree and graduating as valedictorian. I would have gone on to apply to some type of graduate school, but they don't allow sixteen-year-olds in graduate schools. So, I came back because I heard Kat and Evan were in the news for something. Plus, I missed living in the United States instead of England." Everyone in the room stared at her with their jaws dropped. "What? Is there something on my face?" She pulled a compact mirror out of her purse and checked it.
"Oh, man," Jo spoke first. "Katrina's gonna be pissed when Logan meets this girl."
"I'm confused," Natalie admitted. "And that doesn't happen a lot. Where's Kat? Where's Evan? Who's Logan? Who are these people?"
"You know," Brandon smirked. "You might just be the miracle we need." Natalie stared at him, raising her eyebrows.
Katrina and Evan walked off the elevator to enter Rocque Records. Standing there in the elevator lobby was a mummy. Screaming, Katrina grabbed hold of Evan. And then giggled. The mummy mumbled something to Evan.
"Yeah, she's been like this since she woke up from her nap," Evan told the mummy. "It's like she's a normal seeing monsters for the very first time. Kat, remember Brandon?"
Pulling away from her brother, Katrina got a better look at the mummy, "Brandon?" The mummy nodded. "Oh. Sorry about the scream." She giggled. "And the giggling." Brandon mumbled something.
Evan shrugged, "Brandon's right. We're used to it. Come on, the doc wants us to practice our song for tonight's party. Griffin's going to introduce our band to the board members to try and get them excited to have a pop rock band on the label." As Evan and Brandon headed up the hallway, Katrina held back.
"Doc?" Katrina mumbled to herself. "Who's the doc?" She heard maniacal laughing and ran forward to join her bandmates right outside the practice room.
The practice room had gotten a makeover. Scientific stuff had been put in there and Gustavo stood among the lab tables. He was decked out in a mad scientist outfit.
"It's alive!" Gustavo yelled. "IT'S ALIVE!"
Kelly rushed in, looking like Gustavo's assistant with her gravity defying black hair with a couple large white streaks, "Created another singing monster, Doctor Roqueinstein?"
"No," Gustavo spoke calmly. "It's a live album." He held up a Big Time Rush album that had the word 'live' on it. "From BTR."
"Oh," Kelly nodded. "Nice."
"I'm putting them in the goodie bags for Griffin's Big Night of Fright tonight," Gustavo informed her. "I'm also putting in an acoustic demo from Monster Pack." He put the CD into a goodie bag and pulled out another one. It had a picture of the spooky versions of Katrina, Evan and Brandon. Well, sort of spooky Evan since he looked normal because he hadn't changed into a werewolf for the picture. "See? Acoustic songs are all the rage in the pop rock genre, so I've heard." He put the CD back into the goodie bag. At a Katrina giggle, Gustavo looked up. "Ooh, they're here for practice! Okay, I've got two songs that I want you to sing tonight. One sung by just the three of you and one with Big Time Rush. The first one is more rock while the one with BTR is pop, so be ready to blow their minds with your versatility!"
Suddenly, Griffin appeared in the room with two assistants. He smiled as he declared, "Hail me!" Katrina, Evan, Brandon, Gustavo and Kelly all jumped at his surprise teleportation in. Gustavo even screamed. A few seconds later, Katrina giggled.
"What now, Griffin?" Gustavo seemed annoyed. "The goodie bags are almost done and my monster bands are ready to ROCK your party tonight."
"Yes, about that," Griffin responded. "New research shows that the monster band –" His assistant held up a binder full of monster band research. "– Is dead." The assistant threw the binder at Gustavo. Griffin walked forward and pulled the CDs out of a goodie bag. "In fact, the only two that are popping in these bands are Kendall and Evan –" Evan stuck his tongue out at Katrina. She tried to scowl at him, but a giggle came out instead. "– because they look normal on their album covers."
"Yeah," Kelly responded, putting aside the binder she had taken from Gustavo. "Until there's a full moon, then they're shag carpets with paws." Katrina let out a giggle at this, but this time she meant it.
"Well," Griffin put the CDs back in the bag. "Make them normals. Because my annual Big Night of Fright Party is going to be full of board members and stock holders. And they and I want Big Time Rush to be a hot boy band and Monster Pack to be a rocking band with a sexy female vocalist that every guy out there wants to date, not has-been monster bands." Katrina tried to gasp in offense, but all that came out was a giggle.
"But that's four hours from now!" Gustavo screamed. "That's impossible!"
"It's a big night for me, Gustavo," Griffin told him. "So, don't let me down. Or else."
"Or else what?!" Gustavo exclaimed. Griffin waved his hand and, suddenly, Gustavo was super small. Lifting his foot, Griffin held it over Gustavo. The tiny man screamed, "Okay. Okay. Fine. Kelly, get Franken-Carlos down here." Kelly pulled out her phone. "We have got some experimenting to do." Without another word, Griffin was gone and Gustavo popped back to normal size.
"So, I'm guessing that practice is cancelled?" Katrina assumed. "Awesome. Let's go, boys." Before Gustavo could decide to experiment on them instead, the band was gone, Katrina giggling as they ran down the hallway.
Carlos popped out of the bags of trash and turned to Emily, "So, I couldn't find a way out, but I'll keep looking!"
Before Carlos could dive back in, Emily stopped him, "It's alright, Carlos. There are some good things about this. For instance, I'm no longer being held up by the Zizi."
"Which means that we have to get you out of here so you can be with Evan again," Carlos reasoned.
"Maybe I don't want to be with Evan," Emily revealed. "I've been gone for eight years and he never even bothered to look for me." Carlos opened his mouth to say something, but Emily placed a finger on his lips. "But, as soon as you first saw me, you continued to look for me. I could never forget something like that, hero." Removing her finger, Emily started to lean forward. Carlos slowly closed his eyes. Emily paused an inch from his lips and pulled away, "But first, I need to know something."
"Anything," Carlos spoke dreamily.
Emily smirked, "Tell me everything you can about your friends in Big Time Rush." Without even thinking about why she would want to know something like that, Carlos went right into detail, explaining everything he could about his best friends.
Katrina, Evan and Brandon walked down the hallway back towards apartment 2K. Logan passed them on the way, chasing after Lightning. The wonder dog had Logan's foot in his mouth.
"I feel as though I should do something," Katrina admitted, watching Logan hop after the dog.
Evan and Brandon stared in the direction Logan had disappeared in before announcing, "He'll be fine." Katrina furrowed her eyebrows as boys went inside 2K. After a small debate in her mind, she remembered that the truth she had to figure out here was about Evan. Deciding to stick by her brother, she followed her bandmates in.
An odor attacked her nose that was horribly retched. Katrina giggled and then held her nose shut. "What is that horrible smell? It's like a rotting corpse in here." Brandon cleared his throat. Katrina looked at him and winced, remembering that a mummy was basically a rotting corpse. "Sorry, Brandon. Um, how about comparing it to a fish that's been sitting out in the sun for five days and then wrapped in moldy cheese." Brandon gave her a thumbs up. "Okay, then that's what it smells like."
"Sorry," Evan told her. "I had a girl over earlier."
Katrina seemed taken aback by his answer, "Since when do you date?" She giggled which made her words sound even worse.
"Believe it or not, but I am still interested in girls," Evan responded. "Just because we have problems with a cult that wants to kill us, doesn't mean that I don't have needs that need to be met." Brandon mumbled something. "No, Brandon. Not those kind of needs." Katrina could only giggle.
Once her giggle stopped, Katrina asked, "Well, do I know her? Because whoever she is, she leaves a smell that could even make Carlos complain. And you complained about Katie's and Aunt Jenn's cooking."
Evan hesitated before telling her, "Uh, I'd rather not tell you."
"Why?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"You're my sister."
"That's not a good reason."
"Yes, it is."
"Brandon, back me up." At Katrina's words, the two of them looked to Brandon. The mummy looked back and forth between them before he raced out of the apartment.
Evan turned to his sister, "Nice going. You scared off our mummy."
"Maybe it was the smell!" Katrina suggested.
"Please, he's smellier than this when he doesn't wash his bandages," Evan replied.
Katrina grimaced, "I did not need to know that."
"Now, if you'll excuse me," Evan headed for the door. "I have the urge to go howl at the moon." Without another word, Evan left the apartment.
Sinking onto the couch, Katrina mumbled to herself, "That must be the truth I have to figure out. Who's Evan's secret love interest?" She stared out the window before she realized something. "Wait. This isn't my apartment." Giggling, she left the apartment.
Evan sat in the interrogation room, alone and still handcuffed to the table. The door opened and he looked up in time to see Ms. Alagona, the Wolff Family lawyer, walk in.
"Ms. Alagona," Evan greeted her with a smile. "You can get me out of here, right?"
The lawyer winced, "I'm sorry, Evan. Their video evidence is very convincing with your face in there. I can't do anything."
"But I didn't do it!" Evan insisted. "They made up that video!"
Ms. Alagona sighed, "I'll try again. In the meantime, do not say a word. I've never done a criminal case, so this should be an interesting experience. Now, what do I say to the press? They're all over you getting arrested and what's going on at the hospital."
"What's happening at the hospital?" Evan asked.
"They've evacuated an entire floor," Ms. Alagona informed him. "It was due to some type of poisonous gas. I don't know what kind since my mind went blank when they started getting all scientific. Ironically, that floor is the same one that Katrina's original hospital room is on." Evan's face went pale. "Anyways, I've got to go talk to that girlfriend of yours and make sure she doesn't talk."
"Camille's not my girlfriend!" Evan exclaimed. "Make sure that the people know that. I don't want anyone thinking anything different."
"Okay," Ms. Alagona narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "I'll make sure the media knows that. Remember, no talking." Without another word, Ms. Alagona left the room.
"Crap," Evan mumbled to himself. "The Zizi are winning."
Katrina peeked out from behind a gravestone in the Palm Woods Cemetery. She had followed Evan there. Surprisingly, he hadn't noticed her even though there was sparkling music that seemed to come from her. As she watched Evan run around on all four of his appendages, she noticed Lightning run past with Logan's foot in his mouth. Logan hopped past not long after and then Kendall ran in, on all fours too. She blinked as she watched the two Big Time Rush members head out of sight.
"These dreams just keep getting weirder and weirder," Katrina talked to herself. Staring at Evan, her side bangs fell into her eyes. Blowing them out of her face, glitter fell from it and into her eyes. Yelping, she covered her eyes as she tried to blink it out.
When the burning in Katrina's eyes stopped, she uncovered her eyes and found Evan staring down at her. A guilty smile spread across her face.
"Kat," Evan shook his head. "You're not going to see who she is as long as you're a fairy. Face it, the music that surrounds you gives you away. Plus, your wings are hard to hide." Without another word, he ran off.
Growling, Katrina stood up straight, "I have to figure out a way to turn into a human." She snapped her fingers as she remembered something. "Doc was going to make something to turn the guys into normals versus the monsters they are. I wonder if it can change me into a normal instead of this stupid fairy form." Pausing, she realized what she just said. "Wow. I feel like I'm a crazy person now." Shaking her head, she walked away, heading to Rocque Records.
"Wow," Natalie spoke. "I missed a lot while in England." She sat in the cafeteria with Brandon and Jo. While they ate, Natalie had been caught up on the events that had taken place in the past two and a half years. The genius had been silent the entire time, allowing both Jo and Brandon to explain the situation. "And no one knows what to do?"
Brandon shook his head, "We can't get onto the floor that they're being held because of that poisonous gas. And we can't prove to anyone that they're there because no one can get the video cameras that monitor the rooms to work."
"It's not the video cameras," Jo corrected. "The video cameras run on batteries. The computers just can't get a connection to the cameras."
A smile slowly formed on Natalie's face. "Let me at those computers."
As Katrina walked into the elevator in the building that housed Rocque Records, she heard some yells for her to hold the door open. Sticking out her arm to stop the doors, she watched Kendall and Logan head inside with her.
When the doors closed, Kendall turned to Katrina, "Why are you going to see Doc?" Kendall was already hairy on his face and arms, gradually turning into a werewolf. Logan had his arm back on his body, but his foot was still missing.
"I need to be a normal," Katrina revealed. She let off a giggle and then groaned. "I hate being a fairy." Kendall and Logan exchanged looks, each of them raising an eyebrow.
The doors opened and the three of them ran out. Racing down the hallway, they ended up in the practice room that had been turned into a laboratory. A new machine had been built in there and Gustavo and Kelly were gathered around it.
"Doc Rocque!" Kendall exclaimed. "You gotta help me! I need to be turned into a normal for the concert. No more werewolf!"
"Yeah," Logan agreed. "And I need a new foot!" He showed off his leg that was missing a foot.
"I need to be a normal so I can sneak up on Evan and find out what girl he's dating," Katrina added. "Then, I'll be able to find out the truth, get out of this dream and wake up from my coma." The others gave her weird looks. "Er, just ignore that last sentence." A giggle escaped her lips.
"Fairies are weird," Logan explained her outburst. Katrina's jaw dropped in offense.
"I gotcha covered!" Gustavo told them. "Because with my new hot boy band machine, you will no longer be monsters for Griffin's Big Night of Fright."
"But that would turn me into a boy," Katrina realized.
"Shut it!" Gustavo yelled at her. "Fairies aren't monsters anyways!" Katrina crossed her arms in anger.
Suddenly, the sound of thunder ran through the room and a wind blew past Katrina. Her hair tangled in the wind as the highlights darkened along with her wings to a deep red. Her clothes even changed. Kendall and Logan backed away from the pissed off fairy. Katrina glared at Gustavo as the 'doctor' was thrown against the wall by the wind. Kelly covered her mouth in shock.
"Okay!" Gustavo gave in. "Fairies are monsters!" Katrina gave a smile and everything stopped. Gustavo fell to the floor while Katrina's red colors faded back to pink. She giggled. "I'll figure out a way to turn you into a normal girl after this. Now, observe." He headed over to his machine. "New, normal Carlos!" He seemed hesitant to pull the switch that ran the machine. "I hope." At that, he grabbed the switch and pulled it.
All the lights went out in the room except those that had to do with the machine. The three monsters squinted their eyes as they watched the machine hopefully. Gustavo stopped the machine and the door to it opened. Fog spilled out as the group waited for Carlos to come out.
Instead, a girl walked out with a smile on her face. She had an orange dress and a sash that said 'pageant queen'. A bouquet of roses sat in her arm and a tiara was on top of her perfect hair. She waved her free hand as though she was in a pageant. Her whitened teeth could be seen due to her smile. Gustavo stared at the girl in confusion.
Logan and Kendall smiled as they checked out the girl, "Whoa, who's that?" Their tone of voice made Katrina get jealous. Her pink was slowly starting to turn green as the wind picked up in the room.
"It's Carlos," Kelly revealed.
"Oh!" The guys expressed disgust on their faces. Katrina turned pink again as she giggled at their expense. The girl-Carlos tried to speak, but all that came out was mumbles.
"Hey, this is perfect for Katrina," Gustavo realized.
"Huh?" Katrina tilted her head in confusion. Before she knew what was going on, Kendall, Logan and Kelly had pushed her into the machine. She tried to escape, but the door had already closed. "Crap."
Natalie attached a cord to her laptop to connect it to the monitors that were supposed to be showing the video from the surveillance cameras around the hospital. Instead of the videos, black and white static images ran across them. Smiling, Natalie turned on her laptop.
"Are you sure you can fix this?" Brandon asked.
Cracking her fingers, Natalie shot him a confident grin, "You're talking to the youngest person to ever present a computer code that will allow the internet to run five times faster. Unfortunately, my age meant that the top people in the computer field won't allow it out for fear that it'll make computers crash. It probably won't be seen until I'm at least forty because that's when they'll take me seriously."
"So, you're good with computers," Jo realized.
"Yeah, you could say that," Natalie replied, pulling up a program on her laptop. "Now, be quiet while I do my thing." Brandon and Jo watched as Natalie bit her lip slightly, typing seemingly random letters, numbers and other symbols onto the blank screen. The two looking over the genius's shoulder saw line after line get typed and then disappear to be replaced with another line. "Let me know when something appears on the screens." While she continued to type, Jo and Brandon looked at the static screens.
It took a few minutes, but Natalie was able to get a screen to show video. Even though it wasn't one of the cameras they wanted, it was still a success that they cheered about.
"Take that Zizi!" Brandon exclaimed.
"Okay, I've cracked their code," Natalie announced. "I have to give them props. This took longer than normal. Lucky for us, I like a challenge. Now, where should I check first?"
"Logan's and James's kidnapping was videotaped and given to the police with Evan photoshopped in instead of the actual kidnapper," Jo informed her. "They were taken from a stairwell. Start there." Natalie nodded and dove into the program. Seconds later, videos began appearing on the screens, each of them a separate stairwell.
Once she got the last one up, Natalie told the others, "Since I don't know what these people look like, you'll have to watch these videos while they go back in time." With a strike of a key on the keyboard, the videos began rewinding. Jo and Brandon scanned each screen for James and Logan.
Jo was the first one that saw it first, telling Natalie, "Stop." Natalie paused the videos. Jo pointed at the screen with Logan and James on it.
"And Chase is the one behind their kidnapping," Brandon looked at the boy with his hood down. "No surprise there. I wonder who that other person it." He sighed, looking to Natalie, "Now what?"
"Now, I send this video to the police anonymously," Natalie typed on her laptop. "And I run a facial recognition software on them to find them in any of the other videos." She went quiet as she ran her programs. Jo and Brandon watched as video after video showed up on the screens. They were barely there before being replaced by another.
Finally, two still frames from the videos showed up on the screen. One was showing the morgue. Logan was being held captive on one of the tables while Chase glared down at the boy. The other still frame had James sitting on a conveyer belt, tied up in a fetal position and staring at a burning oven at the other end of the conveyer belt.
"Crap," Jo and Brandon mumbled before they raced from the room to go save the people in trouble.
Carlos finished his explanation and looked at Emily with a smile. Emily leaned in to whisper in Carlos's ear, "Goodbye." After giving him a kiss on the cheek, she used her tranquilizer gun on him.
Staring at her in surprise, Carlos spoke, "Crap." That said, he fell backward into the bags of garbage. Emily took a deep breath before she disappeared among the bags.
The door to the machine opened and Katrina walked out. A smile was plastered on her face as she waved like the pageant queen her outfit set her up as. Her hair was back to having blonde highlights that seemed to come from the bottom of the tiara on her head. A bouquet of roses sat in her arm. She had a similar dress to girl-Carlos only hers was pink.
"Why is it that I'm always put in pink?" Katrina asked, relaxing from her pageant queen stance.
"You look good," Logan noted. Katrina flashed him a smile.
"And you're not a fairy anymore!" Kendall added.
Katrina looked behind her and noticed that her wings were gone. Her smile grew, "Awesome." She stepped out of the way as she and the others watched Kelly push girl-Carlos back into the machine, door closing her in.
"Okay!" Gustavo announced. "Too much pageant queen!"
"You think?" Katrina asked, gesturing to the sash around her body.
"Alright, now we press the red button," Gustavo told them what he was doing. "And add more Y chromosome." Kelly pressed some buttons on the machine as Gustavo tried to get the machine to work correctly. Gustavo grabbed the switch and pulled it, saying, "Yata!"
As if he had expected it, a green-striped, friendly monster came out of the machine. All of them stared at the monster in surprise before Kendall, Logan and Katrina told Gustavo, "Too much Gabba Gabba." Kelly directed it back into the machine.
"Something weird must be happening to my body in real life if my mind made up that," Katrina whispered to herself. "Carlos is probably watching Yo Gabba Gabba again."
"Okay, we're gonna pull back on the striped fur," Gustavo announced. "Shorten the arms and add super, powerful voice." He pulled the switch and the machine started. This one seemed to be more powerful than the other ones as the floor shook and Logan, Kendall and Katrina had a hard time keeping on their feet.
Gustavo stopped the machine and the door opened. Franken-Carlos stormed out, angrier than Katrina was earlier. He screamed and then pulled the machine wire out of the keyboard Gustavo was using, "No more machine!" He turned to Kendall, Logan and Katrina. "Carlos smash!" Horrified, Katrina stepped out of the way right as Carlos barreled through his friends. He went out of the practice room and started destroying the place.
"Too much power," Gustavo reasoned.
"But his diction has improved," Kelly realized.
Racing over to the door, Kendall, Logan, Katrina, Gustavo and Kelly watched Carlos destroy the place and then run off.
"Okay!" Gustavo moved on. "Who's next?"
"I think I'm gonna pass," Kendall decided.
"Yeah, big pass here," Logan added.
"Well, since I'm a normal, I'm gonna go change," Katrina announced, following Carlos out of Rocque Records.
Jo ran into the morgue. Looking around, she saw no sign of Logan. Her eyes landed on the doors to the holes in the wall that held dead bodies.
"Why did it have to be dead people?" Jo spoke. Sighing and crinkling her nose, she began looking inside the different doors, quickly shutting them whenever she saw an unmoving body. It took her a few tries before she found Logan. Grabbing hold of the table he was on, Jo pulled him out of the wall. Logan shivered as he blinked, eyes adjusting to the new light.
"Let's get you out of here," Jo told Logan, grabbing hold of some of the ropes so she could untie him.
Running into the hazardous waste room, Brandon looked around. He noticed that the conveyor belt was still moving towards the oven, but James wasn't on it anymore.
"Shit, I'm too late!" Brandon exclaimed. "Oh, James. Kat should have given you a chance."
Suddenly, there was a groan in the room. Brandon ran over to the other side of the conveyor belt and found James tied up on the floor. The pretty boy was slowly waking up from having been knocked out. Brandon sighed in relief. He leaned down to untie James.
Evan looked up as the door opened to the interrogation room. Ms. Alagona came in with a smile on her face, "Okay, Evan. You're free to go."
"What?" Evan seemed confused.
"An anonymous video came in that was the same video that incriminated you, but it had someone else's face in it," Ms. Alagona explained. "Although they said it's impossible for that person to be there, the video proved that it could be photoshopped and they threw out the evidence against you. You're still a person of interest, but they can't keep you here."
"And Camille?" Evan asked.
"Free to go," Ms. Alagona revealed.
Evan got to his feet as a smile spread across his face, "They did it. The B-Team is saving us."
"Right," Ms. Alagona raised an eyebrow at his words. "Come on, I'll take you and your non-girlfriend back to the hospital." Evan tried to follow her, but the handcuffs stopped him. "Right after I get the police to let you out."
Katrina walked into the main part of the apartment, wearing a normal outfit. She had eliminated all of her pink by picking out an orange tank top, black skinny jeans and a black pleather jacket. Kendall stood in the middle of the room, asking his relatives, "Think she'll notice?" Katrina had to hold back a laugh at his words. He was hairy all over, except for his head. His shirt and pants were ripped from the transformation.
"Depends," Katie replied from her spot cooking in the kitchen. "Does she have eyes?" Kendall groaned and tried shaving his arms with the small electric shaver.
"It's not going to work," Katrina advised, sitting at the counter for the kitchen. She picked up a jar on the counter and looked at it. Eyes stared back at her. Shivering, she set it back down and turned it so the eyes faced away from her.
"Sweetheart," Mrs. Knight went over to Kendall. "Stop!" Kendall stopped to pay attention to her. "If a girl can't accept you for who you are, then maybe she's not the girl for you."
"Can't you just poof me normal?" Kendall asked.
"Can't we just poof up a good cake?" Katie mentioned as she beat the tentacles that were in the cauldron. Katrina stared at the tentacles, eye twitching.
"We can make a cake without magic," Mrs. Knight insisted. She turned back to her son, "You need to tell Jo the truth. Now." Kendall groaned at the thought.
Suddenly, Kelly burst through the door, breathless. "Kendall, I need you to help me save Franken-Carlos from an angry mob."
"I'm so surprised I didn't see that coming," Katrina mumbled.
"Hmm," Kendall pretended to think about it. "Tell Jo the truth or face an angry mob. Let's go, Kelly." Getting down on all fours, Kendall followed Kelly out of the room.
Mrs. Knight turned around to see Katie still battling with the tentacles, "We might have used too much snake tail." Katrina grimaced at the thought.
"Uh, Aunt Jenn," Katrina turned to her aunt. "I have something you can help me with." Mrs. Knight sat down next to her and smiled, happy to help. "I think Evan's dating someone, but he doesn't want me to meet her. What should I do?"
"It might not be something serious," Mrs. Knight replied. "You know that Evan puts family first. He probably wants to be sure that things are serious between them before he introduces her."
"Or he thinks that you two won't like each other," Katie suggested.
"That might explain the horrible smell," Katrina reasoned.
Before anyone could say anything else, the door opened and Brandon strode in. He took one look at the three girls staring at him and turned around to leave. Katrina ran over to block his way.
"Where's Evan?" Katrina demanded. Brandon just mumbled. "Oh, right. You're a mummy. Just take me to him." Brandon nodded and led her out of the room.
Logan, James, Evan, Jo, Brandon and Camille all showed up right outside the surveillance room at the same time. The people seemed happy to see each other.
"How did you do it?" Evan asked.
"It was all Natalie," Brandon told him. James, Logan, Evan and Camille stared at Brandon in confusion.
"The name sounds familiar, but I need a face or something," Evan mentioned.
Suddenly, Natalie poked her head out of the surveillance room, "This is what I get for being gone in England for two and a half years." She waved to the people gathered around. "Hey, are we going to save the others or what?"
"Oh my God, Natalie Bird!" Evan exclaimed. "You have changed so much!"
"Yeah, I lost a little weight," Natalie admitted.
"A little?!" Evan replied. "The last time I played hockey with you I tried to knock you over only to end up with a concussion by just skating into you! And you didn't even move after I hit you! You were like a skating pumpkin or something!"
Natalie glared at him, "Thanks. I so wanted the world to know that I was fat."
"How did you find us?" Logan asked.
"This girl is a genius!" Evan wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pointed to her. "Nats is the only reason that I could pass my classes in school." Camille looked at Evan's arm before she crossed her own arms, glaring at Natalie.
"Like Logan is the only reason we pass our classes," James mentioned.
"Please, Nats is so much smarter than Logan," Brandon insisted. Logan didn't seem very happy with that statement.
"I prefer to not get in a competition of intelligence," Natalie told them.
"Maybe it's cause you know that I'm smarter," Logan replied.
Natalie narrowed her eyes, "I'm one online class away from graduating as valedictorian from the University of Oxford after getting a full-ride scholarship there. Oh, and I'm only sixteen." Logan's jaw dropped.
"She's younger than you and she's almost a college graduate," James whispered to Logan. "She is smarter than you." Logan was frozen in shock as he stared at Natalie.
"Now that we've got that covered, are you guys going to give me some video of Carlos or Kendall so that I can run my facial recognition software for them?" Natalie looked to the people gathered around. "Come on, they might be in danger or something." The group quickly followed her into the surveillance room.
(A/N): Three saved, two to go! Are they going to be able to find Kendall and Carlos in time? We know where Kendall is, but Carlos's spot might be a little harder to find. Kendall seems to be losing. Fast. Are they going to be able to get there before the poisonous gas gives some serious consequences to both him and Katrina? What kind of poisonous gas is it anyways? Emily tricked Carlos into giving her information on the guys that she's probably going to give to the Zizi. That can't end well. The new girl has been introduced, Natalie Bird! Yes, I used another animal as the last name. Animals are a reoccurring theme and I needed her last name to rhyme with another word for a future plot line involving her. Anyways, Natalie made quite an entrance, didn't she? Oxford valedictorian at only sixteen? Looks like Logan might have some competition there. He seems to realize that too. Does Katrina have something to worry about when she wakes up? Is she going to have to fight for Logan yet again? Speaking of Katrina, she's figured out another truth! It's the Zizi's fault that they're all famous! Man, whoever started the Zizi must feel dumb if he/she knows that… What kind of truth is Katrina going to find in her trip in the Big Time Halloween universe? Remember, it's about Evan!
Now, something for you to look forward to. I'm going to be having another voting contest. This time, you guys get to pick which Big Time Rush member is going to end up with Natalie. Give it some thought because the result is going to change how I write future chapters. I'll have more details in the next chapter when the contest actually starts! Until then, happy reading!
