The Road To Recovery...
After Carlos finishes in the bathroom and returns to his bed Logan Lysol's the couch* There's your bed James enjoy
Thanks Logan. Why did you do that for me? I made you mad "James says"
You're still my brother. I love you. Goodnight "Logan says and goes to bed after Camille leaves*
I'll stay out here with you if you want
We both did make him really mad. I think he needs some space right now "Kendall says"
Please stay. I don't want to be alone "James says"
Kendall makes the other side of the couch comfortable for him ask and they both go to sleep*
Friday morning*
Logan gets up still tired and goes to Carlos and James room*
Wake up amigo. Time for your medicine
No,no,no! I can't take one more day of that stuff Logie "Carlos says"
I'm not gonna stand here for 30 minutes negotiating with you "Logan sighs already irritated" Take the medicine please
I can't "Carlos says defiantly crossing his arms and jumping on the bed" I'm a ninja. Ninjas don't get sick
Well you are. We've already established that. Stop jumping on your bed and take your medicine. I gotta get ready for school "Logan says about to pop vain and getting increasingly impatient"
Can I eat something first? I'm hungry "Carlos says"
I'm hungry too but you don't hear me complaining "Logan says"
Don't make me take it please "Carlos says and runs out the room"
Not in the mood for games Carlos!! "Logan says following him"
I feel so much better. I don't need medicine "Carlos says then starts coughing rapidly"
Oh my gosh listen to Logan already "James says"
He knows what's best for you "Kendall says"
Fine "Carlos says then takes the medicine and gags"
Aren't you being a little overdramatic about the taste? "Katie says"
No "Carlos says" Logie my head hurts
Then go lie back down in your bed "Logan says"
Can I go pee first? "Carlos says urgently jumping up and down"
James just went in there to take a shower. Can you wait 15 minutes? "Kendall says"
I can't even wait 5!! "Carlos says with extreme discomfort"
Then go in there and just use it. We're all dudes. We can actively share a bathroom without it being awkward "Kendall says"
I can't "Katie says"
You get a free pass on that "Kendall says smiling and playfully ruffling her hair making her laugh and hug him"
Carlos charges into the bathroom. James pulls back the shower curtain confused then sees him*
What are you doing in here?!
I'm peeing obviously!! Don't look!! Keep showering!!
That's all I want to do "James says and retreats his head back into the shower. He feels an surge of ice cold water on his on his body after Carlos flushes the toilet*
Ahhhh it's so cold!!
Sorry amigo "Carlos says as he quickly washes his hands and leaves"
I'll go back to my bed now
Great "Logan says"
After school and rehearsal*
The guys return to the apartment and see Carlos going wild again. He's on the swirly slide deck shirtless. He's wearing his Mario Bros pajama pants*
Why is he up there? "Kendall says sighing exasperated"
I don't know but we should get him down "James says"
Carlos come on. Come watch SpongeBob with me "Logan says"
I'm the king of awesomeness!! "Carlos shouts"
Ok sure. Get your royal butt down here!! "Logan says"
Join me and we'll rule together!! "Carlos says"
Ay caramba "Logan says face palming and sighing"
Camille and Jo walk in*
You ok Logan? "Jo says"
No I'm not. I'm dealing with a child "Logan says"
Katie? "Jo says"
No not that child. THAT child "Logan says pointing up to Carlos"
Oh…that's not good "Jo says"
I love the dude but I'm about to kill him "Kendall says fully out of patience"
Stop it! We need to show him love and kindness not anger! Lighten up! Now! "Logan says" You and James are gonna help me wrangle him back into his bed. I don't care how long it takes on your "busy schedules" but he needs to get better or Gustavo will mount his head on the wall of his mansion!!
What do you expect us to do? "James says"
Not be lazy. Act like you actually care about his health. Get up beefcake "Logan says"
Beef cake? "James says confused and stands up"
Logan calm down. We will figure this out. You're not alone in this "Camille says"
I've always been alone in this "Logan says" Why should this be any different? Their pathetic attempts to help will only make the problem worse
Yo, we are right here bro "James says offended"
I know that. Now help me figure out a way to get him down "Logan says"
Maybe you can use a story to get him down "Camille says"
I've tried that so many other times even when he's not sick. He won't budge if I do it this time "Logan says"
Use food. Cook some corndogs "Jo says"
We're all out "Logan says"
He'll have to come down eventually. That dude has the bladder of a newborn baby. And the bathroom is down here "James says"
Ewww. Isn't there any other reason he'll come down besides that? "Camille says"
No "Kendall says"
I've got an idea "Logan says" Ok Carlos you win. You're king of the monkeys. We're all your loyal subjects. Just how are you gonna rule over us if you're not down here to join our royal ceremony for you? It can't start without the guest of honor
How is that gonna work Logan? "Kendall whispers"
3,2,1…"Logan says anticipating Carlos' next move"
I'm coming! "Carlos says sliding down"
What happens first at the party?
Now!! "Logan yells and James tackles the young Latino and holds his mouth open"
You take your medicine first "Kendall says and shoves spoon in his mouth so hard he automatically swallows"
I can't breath!! Get off me!! "Carlos says"
Are you gonna listen to us?! "James says" We're not gonna tolerate your stubbornness anymore
I feel like I'm gonna pass out!! Get off me, get off me, get off me!! "Carlos says and starts screaming in fear"
Get off him!! Are you crazy?! "Logan says shoving him away" You went too far James!! You were suppose to be gentle!!
I've lost my patience and sanity with him!! You have too!! You just won't admit it!! "James says"
I only care about him getting better. He loves animals more than anyone in the band. He can't miss out on the charity concert for that animal shelter "Logan says"
You always excuse his behavior!! He'll never learn if you don't let him!! "James says"
Stop it, stop it, stop it!! "Carlos says" The arguing! The constant arguing!! I can't take it anymore!!
I don't anyone helping me! I only want my Papi but he's not here!! None of you can substitute for him!!
I'm sorry we're stressing you out Carlos we just want you to get better so you can help save the animals "Logan says"
It's not your fault Logie. James is the one who tackled me like I was a wild animal then Kendall force fed me that gross medicine "Carlos says"
It is my fault amigo. All that was my idea. I'm sorry "Logan says"
You planned all that? "Carlos says"
Yeah go ahead and punch me "Logan says"
Why? "Carlos says confusingly"
Cuz you're mad. I deserve it "Logan says"
I'm not mad at you Logie "Carlos says" Even if I was I'm not gonna punch you
Good "Logan says relieved"
I'm not a violent person. I'm paci fest "Carlos says"
Um..buddy it's pacifist and no you're definitely not one "Kendall says"
Even I can agree to that pal "James says"
But I am one "Carlos says"
How do you think you are? "Jo says"
Tell us what you think it means "Camille says"
I'm not a bully, I love keeping animals safe and I have great manners "Carlos says proudly"
That's not exactly what a pacifist is Carlos "Logan says" but it's good that you thought of all those things
You do turn into a psycho manic when you play video games "Katie says"
No I don't "Carlos says defensively"
Yeah you do. You put me in a headlock when we played Grand Theft Auto last week "James says"
You stole my character's car "Carlos says"
That's the-*sighs face palming* that's the whole point of the game it's in the title "James says"
After about an hour Jo and Camille go home and the guys and Katie go to bed*
