Wednesday morning. Logan gets up, takes a shower, brushes his teeth, gets dressed and goes downstairs to eat his breakfast then walks to the school bus stop*
Logan wait up! "Kendall says running up to him" Want some company while we wait for the bus?
Why so can continue to undermine my choice for the school talent show? "Logan says"
No it's not that at all "Kendall says"
I've known you long enough to see what kind of mind tricks you're trying to use to convince me to change my mind. I know what I'm doing. And I'm sure even a small percent of the audience will appreciate my talent. You focus on your act and let me focus on mine "Logan says"
The bus arrives and they get on*
In art class*
Logan I practiced my song in front of a small audience that I know wouldn't judge me "Jenny says"
That's great but what kind of audience is that? "Logan says
My Guinea pigs Elsa and Anna "Jenny says"
Wait you named them after the girls from Frozen? "Logan says"
Yeah it's my favorite movie. They're my favorite Disney princesses. My Guinea pigs are sisters just like them "Jenny says" You don't think I'm weird for that right?
Of course not. I'm a Disney fan too "Logan says" Can't go wrong with the Lion King
I love that movie too "Jenny says"
The bell rings and it's time to switch classes which is science one of Logan's favorites. Luckily for him Justin isn't in that class*
During foreign language class it's a Spanish lesson. All four guys are in it*
I'm glad you guys are in this class with me "Carlos says" You can understand me better when I speak Spanish
Dude we don't understand you when you speak English "James says laughing at his own joke"
Not funny bro "Carlos says unamused"
Be nice James "Kendall says sighing exasperated"
It was a joke. He can't take a joke? "James says"
Jokes are meant to be funny. Yours wasn't "Logan says"
James sighs defeated*
After school in the car pool lane the guys see Logan with Jenny*
What's Logan doing with Jenny Wilkins? "Carlos says" I've never seen him hang out with any girl
That's cuz all the girls use him for homework and don't value him as a human being "Kendall says"
You think they're dating? "James says"
It's hard to say. Logan doesn't really seem interested in dating. He just wants more friends. Not a relationship "Kendall says"
Well something is going on between them. They're hugging right now "James says"
Friends hug "Carlos says"
I know but we have to find out what's going on. What if Jenny has bad intentions for him? What if she's just pretending to be his friend? "James says"
You can't judge her without meeting her first. All we've seen is her hug Logan. Does that look like an evil girl to you? "Kendall says"
If I've learned anything from spy movies it's that you never know who your enemies are. You have to be careful with who you trust "James says"
You're taking advice from spy movies? You're gonna spy on them? "Kendall says"
I don't hear any other ideas coming from you and Carlos "James says"
That's cuz what's going on between them is none of our business "Kendall says" Don't do anything stupid James
Yeah don't mess up whatever is going on between them "Carlos says"
Relax I know what I'm doing. I'll be careful "James says"
Kendall and Carlos worriedly look at each other and sigh*
Come on Jenny we practice better tonight. I have a telescope that'll help me out with my talent for the show. What can you bring to help you? "Logan says"
Flash cards "Jenny says"
Great thinking Jenny. Flash cards always help me out with my studying too "Logan says as they get in his mom's car"
Flash cards and a telescope? And she's with him for the talent show? "James says from behind a bush" What the heck is going on between those two. They've got to be dating. I need more information
Later that night at Logan's house in the backyard*
Ok Jenny I'm gonna set up my telescope. While you arrange your flash cards I'm gonna go get us some brain boosting snacks "Logan says and goes inside"
James is in a nearby tree watching and listening* Wow I was right. They're dating *Hears an owl hoot and get scared then feel something furry on his leg and freaks out even more*
Ahhhh! What was that?! "Jenny says"
What was what? "Logan says running out with a tray with bowl of mixed up apples, blueberries, strawberries, oranges and bananas"
I heard a loud sound coming from the bushes "Jenny says"
I'll investigate "Logan says and runs back inside to grab flashlight from the kitchen then returns and shines it at the area. The bushes rustle and there's a growl"
It's a wild animal! Run Logan! Save yourself! "Jenny says"
Jenny it's ok. It's just Snickers "Logan says holding a black and white cat"
So that's not a dangerous animal? "Jenny says"
Not unless you're severely allergic to cat dander "Logan says"
I'm not. I like cats "Jenny says petting the purring feline"
Me too. This is Snickers. He was found by my dad and he named him after his favorite candy but he's not exactly our cat. When my dad found him we tried to keep him as a pet but that didn't end very well. This little cutie totally freaked out being in a cage and in a house. He's semi-feral. He trusts humans just not when they put him in a space he doesn't like. So he lives in our backyard and roams the neighborhood. I keep him fed and healthy and well groomed "Logan says"
Wow Logan that's amazing. Boys who are that nice to sweet innocent animals are awesome. I like that about you "Jenny says"
Thanks "Logan says then hears a scream and a loud thud"
Was that another animal? "Jenny says"
I'm not sure. It didn't sound like one I've ever heard before "Logan says and shines the flashlight on the bush and they hear groaning"
Logan bushes don't groan "Jenny says"
Oh..my head "James says"
Wait a minute I know that voice. James? "Logan says and sees him stand up"
What the heck are you doing sneaking around in my backyard?! Were you in that tree?! You scared Jenny!! What's wrong with you?! "James says"
What's wrong with me?! What's wrong with you not telling us about your new relationship? "James says"
What new relationship? "Logan says confusingly"
The one with her! "James says pointing to Jenny"
Jenny is my friend and a much better one than you're being right now "Logan says"
Don't you have a relationship stronger than your friendship with her? "James says"
I have no idea what you're thinking it's like that cuz it's not. Now go home before my mom calls yours
I gotta know the truth. You two are working together right? "Logan says"
What's it matter to you? It's not against the rules. The guidance counselor said so "Logan says" Please just go
Can I at least know what you two are working on for the talent show? "James says"
No you didn't believe I could even enter with the skills I've chosen. What are you trying to do plan some kind of sabotage so Jenny and I can't be in the show? "Logan says"
Why would I sabotage you? We're lifelong brothers "James says" Where's the love? Where's the compassion?
You were hiding in a tree in my backyard, fell into a bush and nearly gave Jenny a heart attack. You call that brotherhood?! You call that compassion?! You're in so much trouble right now!! So much!!
Snickers hisses*
I was just trying to protect you "James says"
How am I in danger?! "Logan says"
What if Jenny is tricking you? "James says"
Unlike most of the girls at our school I'm not mercilessly mean to smart kids like Logan "Jenny says"
B-b-but…"James says"
I've had enough of this nonsense "Logan says" Get your butt home RIGHT NOW!!
James leaves*
I'm so sorry about all that Jenny "He says" James can be very moronic sometimes
How you handled him was awesome "Jenny says"
Thanks but that ate up a lot of our practice time *sighs* That's not fair to you "Logan says"
That's ok. We can practice again during study hall tomorrow. I won't tell my parents what happened tonight with James. They'll just think I shouldn't come here anymore and I really like hanging out with you "Jenny says"
I like hanging out with you too "Logan says"
Thanks "Jenny says and gets in her mom's car"
Logan brings the food inside and goes to bed after making sure Snickers is safe in the tree*
