Chapter 1: What A Mess
A/N: So I love BTR, and got this idea on the way to the beach. I hope 'yall like it. I do not own Big Time Rush, the "Camp Rock" term Hot Tunes TV, or any of the songs mentioned. All I own is Piper.
"It's on! It's on!" James Diamond yelled, sitting on the couch in front of the TV in Big Time Rush's Palmwoods apartment.
"Move!" Carlos yelled, jumping over the back of the couch, landing beside James. He grabbed his signature black hockey helmet and put it on his head, bracing himself for what was coming on the TV.
"Cut it up!" Kendall said sitting down on the arm rest.
"If you all don't stop fighting and listen, we're probably going to miss it!" Logan said, standing behind the couch.
"Next up on Hot Tunes TV, our Fresh Pick of the week. These guys are four regular hockey players from Minnesota with a huge hidden talent. Here's Melinda Heart with her take on these boys." the reporter said.
"If Melinda gave us a good review, we're in the home stretch!" Kendall said, crossing his fingers, bouncing on the couch excitedly.
"These four boys are H-O-T!" Melinda said, "Their debut self titled album hits the shelves next week and their tour kicks off in a month, with four sold out dates already and a platinum first single, they can only get bigger! Girls go crazy over them! James for his stylish good looks. Kendall for his cute face. Logan for his brains and adorable dimples, and Carlos for his funny-guy behavior. Needless to say it's going to be total pandemonium at all the shows. I'll be reporting from several dates of the tour and if you want more BTR follow Hot Tunes TV on Scuttlebug and become a fan on Facebook! Be sure to check out Big Time Rush from Rocque Records!"
"Yes!" James jumped up, pounding his fist in the air.
Carlos shouted with excitement tackling Kendal, who was high fiving Logan.
"We're on our way guys!" Kendall said.
Suddenly, in all of the chaos, James stopped, "Oh my gosh, everyone shut up!"
"What?" Logan said, looking over at James, who had pushed past Kendall and Carlos to sit in the middle of the couch, staring at the TV.
Logan looked at the TV screen, trying to see what he was so hell bent on watching.
A very familiar face was on the screen in a music video. The face was that of the latest greatest girl pop sensation, Piper Holliday with her new hit single "Not Myself Tonight". The screen cut from a shot where she was wearing a leather jacket and white cut up tank top and black jeans to one where she had a black corset on with short polyester shorts and a furry vest. Logan took a second to be a guy and study her appearance approvingly and then looked back at his fellow band mates.
"She's so hot, and her voice is good too." Kendall said.
"It's her eyes, they're smoldering, and her hair, it's all messed up like she just got laid. Oh God, she's fine." James said.
"She'd be prettier without all that make up and stuff." Carlos said.
Kendall and James turned and looked at Carlos, shaking their heads.
"Whatever, she could wear nothing, preferably, and look amazing." James said, directing his attention back to the TV.
Logan rolled his eyes. Sure, she had a good singing voice and she was pretty, but she was very overrated. Everyone made over her like she was Madonna or something.
"That was Piper Holliday with her newest single 'Not Myself Tonight' from her self titled debut." Melinda re-appeared on the screen, "We chose this video to play first in our Hits of the Week hour because Hollywood's infamous bad girl has once again made the press go wild again when TMZ caught the sixteen year old popstar coming out of the popular nightclub Inferno with her twenty-two year old sister, Marlena completely torn up. The hit maker was seen stumbling and slurring her words to the press on the way to the car. Also, she seems to have added yet another tat to her flawless skin. Her little black dress revealed a bird with a music note dangling from its beak inked on her upper right shoulder blade. Will this be the new trend in tattoos? Is Piper's reign as pop princess coming to a reign, and what do parents of young fans think of this bad behavior? I can tell you I'm enjoying it. Now here's Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg with 'California Girls'."
"I'd go bad for her." Kendall said, nodding at the TV.
"Hello, Jo?" James replied, "If I met her, I'd give her one of my bad boy headshots."
He pulled the picture out of what seemed like no where. Kendall rolled his eyes and watched the new video playing on the TV.
"I still think she'd be better with all of that…mess." Carlos said.
"Agreed." Logan spoke up, "She's a mess! She's going to end up in rehab before she's twenty-one, which I remind you, is the legal age for drinking, by the way."
"Why do you have to be so…careful." James asked.
"I don't know." Logan said, his face scrunching up in annoyance, "I just am not really into her. She's got a good voice and all, but they've put her out there too much and I guarantee you she's nothing like you see on TV."
"I bet she is." Kendall said.
"No, not the drinking and stuff. Yeah, I bet she does that, but I'm talking about all the makeup and crazy behavior, and the whole 'next Lady Gaga' thing that Pop Tiger magazine deemed her." he said, walking over to the couch and sitting on the other arm rest that wasn't occupied by Kendall's butt.
"Who knows…" James said, "Actually, we will. The Teen Choice Awards are at the end of summer near the end of tour, she'll be there."
"You do know her 'people' will be feeding her all of her actions. You will never truly know this girl."
"You know what? I'm starting to think Logan is in this process of denial because he secretly likes her, but doesn't want to join all of us because she's not a method actress like Camille and all that." Carlos spoke up.
Kendall chuckled, pointing back at Carlos, "I bet you're right."
"I do not!" Logan exclaimed.
"What's going on boys?" Mrs. Knight said, walking into the apartment with two brown bags in her hands.
"Not much," Kendall replied, "Melinda Heart from Hot Tunes TV gave us a hot rating for our album and tour! We're totally on our way now!"
"That's great." she smiled.
"Oh, and then Piper Holliday's video came on." James said mischievously, nodding slowly.
"Ew," Mrs. Knight said, "I don't like her. She's not a good role model and her songs are all so…"
"Hot?" James said.
"Good?" Kendall said.
"Awesome?" Carlos said
"Over rated?" Logan said.
"Logan was closest," Mrs. Knight said, "but no. They're very over played and they're all so dirty. If I ever saw a video where she was fully clothed, I'd be amazed."
"That's just her image. You know, her look." James said.
"And why does she wear that stupid black glove anyway? She isn't Michael Jackson, not close. Katie wears one all the time now." Mrs. Knight rolled her eyes.
"It's her signature…you know, like…"
"If you say bandannas, I might come over there." Kendall shot James a look.
"Just throwing it out there…again." He replied.
"Give it up, Man." Carlos said, patting James on the shoulder sympathetically.
"So what are you guys going to be up to for your free night away from Gustavo?" Mrs. Knight asked.
"I'm going out with Jo." Kendall smiled proudly.
Carlos did the "whipped" cough, causing the other guys to erupt with laughter.
"You're just jealous." Kendall replied.
"Jealousy never looks good on anyone, boys." Mrs. Knight added.
"Whatever, I figured we'd hang out by the pool, play video games…" James began.
"The usual?" she replied.
"Pretty much." Logan said, "Well, I've got an independent study government test to study for so I don't know how much of this trip I'll be making."
"Lame," James said, "but if you must."
"Let the boy focus on his studies." Mrs. Knight replied.
After a night of the pool and then studying, Logan went to bed, only to be woken up in the morning by James' shocked yell.
"OH MY GOSH! WHAT?"
