You're welcome "Mr. Taylor says and leaves"
The guys go to bed*
For the next three weeks they practice everyday at the bowling alley and it looks hopeless to them with Logan failing to get a strike or even a spare*
While he's in the bathroom the guys have a chat*
Ok we're gonna have to make a very tough decision. Logan is no longer part of this team. We're gonna have to replace him with someone better "James says"
What?! "Carlos says in disbelief"
It's true amigo. We need a skillful player "Kendall says"
He's not just a team mate and band mate. He's our BROTHER! "Carlos says" I won't go against him! No! This is a bad idea! A very very bad idea! You can't do this to him! You can't betray his trust! You just can't!
It's not betraying his trust. It's what's best for the team. This isn't even just about him. It's about the kids we're gonna help raise money for. We can't do that with a horrible player right? "Kendall says"
Yeah but this is still wrong "Carlos says"
You'll understand when our plan is put into action "James says"
I'm NOT part of this terrible plan! "Carlos says" He's gonna be devastated. Tell him the truth. He'll understand. Don't hide this from him. You gotta tell him the truth
No way "James says" It's better he doesn't know
What happened to your loyalty? What happened to your respect? What happened to your honor? What happened to your honesty? All that goes into our code of brotherhood. You're breaking all of that apart "Carlos says"
You're making a MONUMENTAL mistake doing this behind his back! You're gonna get your karma. It's coming for you both.
Whatever Carlos. Just shut up and don't say anything to him "James says"
Fine but I want you to know that you're both being jerks! "Carlos says" I don't wanna play anymore. I wanna go home
walks over to them* Everything ok? What's wrong Carlos? "Logan says"
I've suddenly lost interest to play. Cuz they're jerks! "Carlos says"
I leave for five minutes and you two have unsurprisingly upset him? "Logan says angrily and sighs" Come on amigo I'll make you corn dogs when we get home
They all leave*
In Apartment 2J*
What's wrong with Carlos? "Katie says"
I have no idea. James and Kendall upset him at the bowling alley. He's fuming "Logan says taking the corn dogs out the oven"
He hasn't told you? "Katie says"
Hasn't given me anymore details. He's too stressed out right now. He'll tell me when he's ready. I don't wanna pressure him "Logan says"
Good idea "Katie says"
After dinner Carlos goes to bed earlier than he usually does*
Guys whatever you did to upset Carlos is really stressing him out and stressing me out. He's not telling me anything but when he does you two are toast "Logan warns James and Kendall who stay silent"
They go to bed*
Fast forward to the day of the event. James and Kendall managed to get a replacement but Carlos still refuses to accept their plan and has to be literally dragged against his own free will out of the apartment to get to the event on time. While this is happening Logan is extremely busy reading in bed cuz he has a bad migraine and feels guilty for missing out on the game but has no idea what is really happening*
At the bowling alley*
The team names are posted up on the main tv screen
Phantom Strikers (Opposing Team)
Strike Force (Big Time Rush)
Where's Logan? "Kelly says" Whose the random kid with you?
Logan is at home with a bad migraine. This isn't just a random kid. He's a local legend. Best teen bowler in L.A. "Kendall says" This is Bernie Jenkins
Hey "Bernie says"
Does Gustavo know about this? "Kelly says"
He's the one who recruited him "James says"
Kids are expecting all of Big Time Rush. Not 3/4 of the band. What are we suppose to tell them? "Kelly says"
The truth "Carlos says" We tell them the truth. I can't do this anymore. I won't be part of this lie
You're doing it! "Kendall says" Grow up and do it!
No! "Carlos says" You can't make me!
Everyone calm down! "Kelly says" Gustavo is gonna pop a vain if nothing happens at all. So just go out there and bowl
But Kelly this isn't right and you know it! None of you care about Logan anymore! Am I the only one with a conscience?! "Carlos says"
Just go! The event has started! "Gustavo says"
Fine but I'm not playing! "Carlos says"
He and the guys walk to their lane. The crowd cheers but goes silent when they see Bernie in Logan's place*
Where our buddy Andy? "Steven says"
I have no idea. I'm gonna find out "Andy says and goes over to James"
Where's Logan? What's going on?
None of your business "James says rudely"
You're hiding something. He's not here for a reason and I have a feeling he doesn't know you guys are playing without him. Or worse he doesn't know you betrayed him by replacing him "Andy says and walks back over to Steven" Time to play detective. We're gonna solve this mystery
Most of the game Carlos doesn't play at all even after being yelled to by Gustavo*
Stand up Carlos! It's your turn! Stand up! "Kendall says tugging on him" It's like he glued himself to the seat
Seriously? "James says walking over" Get up you stubborn fool!
You think calling me names will make me do what you want? "Carlos says"
No but if I take your helmet you will "James says"
Touch it and I'll drop this bowling ball right on your foot "Carlos says"
You wouldn't dare "James says"
Try me jerk face "Carlos says"
I think he's serious "Bernie says" You sure your friend can't come? Is he really sick? He might be feeling better
Sick? Logan isn't sick "Carlos says" All he has is a migraine
So where does he think you guys are right now? "Bernie says"
He knows we're here. He just doesn't know YOUR'RE here taking his place "Carlos says"
Oh…I didn't want this. I don't wanna be part of some evil scheme. I believed everything those guys told me "Bernie says"
Kendall and James just can't be trusted at all "Carlos says glaring at them" I'm gonna fix all of this
Back in Apartment 2J*
Camille runs in* Logan, Logan!
What is it?! What's happening?! "Logan says running out in his boxers and blushes when he sees her" Cami?! I'm in my underwear! *Runs back to put his robe on and sits on the couch" What's going on? Are you ok?
No I'm not ok. Why aren't you at the bowling alley with the guys? "Camille says"
Got a bad migraine. They're better off without me. I was never that good. I didn't improve "Logan says"
You gotta get down there. They're playing without you "Camille says"
I know Cami "Logan says"
They're playing without you with someone else! "Camille says"
How do you know that? "Logan says" What's going on?
Look at the text Carlos just sent me "Camille says and shows him her phone screen"
Logan reads it and his eyes go wide*
Wow *Sighs* I thought I had some really good friends but I was wrong
Don't be mad at Carlos please "Camille says"
Trust me. He's not the one I'm mad at. Come on. We're going down there "Logan says"
You're going dressed like that? "Camille says"
Sighs* I'll be back in 5 minutes "He says and goes to the bedroom area to get dressed then they leave and take an Uber to the bowling alley"
They walk in and go over to the guys*
You traitors! How could you do this to me?!
I'm so sorry Logie! I tried to stop them! They wouldn't listen to me! "Carlos says"
It's ok amigo. I know you're innocent but Kendall and James aren't "Logan says"
Logan we had to do this so we wouldn't be embarrassed "James says"
So you were thinking about yourselves and not all the kids were trying to help? "Logan says"
You're misunderstood that Logan "Kendall says"
I understand. I didn't misunderstand anything he just said. You didn't want to play with me so you secretly kicked me off the team. That's why Carlos was a nervous wreck for the last 2 weeks! You're lucky he didn't get a stomach ulcer with all his stress! You're the jerks *Sighs* I'll deal with you two at home!
Here dude "Bernie says giving him the ball" I don't want any trouble from this. You seem like a really awesome dude with some really horrible friends. Accept your amigo
Thanks. I'm gonna help even though I'm really sad right now "Logan says and rolls the ball down the lane and doesn't even look for the result cuz he assumes it's a gutter ball"
Logan you got a strike "Camille says"
He stares at her in disbelief and looks up at the scoreboard" Wow
Dude how did you do that? "James says"
By calculating the width of the lane, the distance of the pins and the ball I was able to have the right stance to roll the ball thus creating the momentum to knock down the target "Logan says"
Huh? "James says confused"
Logie uses his big awesome brain to help us win "Carlos says" Cuz he's a genius
Thanks Carlitos "Logan says"
The crowd cheers and the money goal is reached*
You good bowler my buddy "Steven says"
Tyson happily barks in agreement*
That was really awesome "Andy says"
Thanks "Logan says"
Carlos you broke your promise! "Kendall says" You weren't suppose to tell Logan anything!
I didn't break any promise cuz I never made one. I didn't even tell him. I told Cami. I told you I wouldn't tell Logan but I never said I wouldn't tell anyone else "Carlos says"
Gustavo you were behind all of this. That's obvious. Even Carlos didn't have to tell me that "Logan says"
I'm sorry. I made a mistake "Gustavo says"
You should've done better "Logan says" Kelly thanks for being awesome
You're welcome "Kelly says"
The guys go home*
In Apartment 2J*
Logan and Carlos we're really sorry for how we treated both of you. Brothers are suppose to have each other's backs and we failed at doing that "Kendall says"
We totally messed up "James says"
You were so mean to me when I tried to get you to do the right thing. You yelled at me. You called me names. You told me to shut up and grow up. I didn't appreciate any of that. I was trying help you both avoid a situation like this "Carlos says"
We know. We should've listened "Kendall says"
Please forgive us "James says"
No you owe us "Logan says"
What do you want us to do? "Kendall says"
Do my chores for the next 2 months "Logan says"
I get the platinum controller for the next 3 months "Carlos says"
Fair enough "Kendall and James say"
After watching tv they all go to bed*
