big time contest

Dani was lounging in the lobby of Rocque Records when she heard her name as Gustavo's office door swung open: "Make sure the dogs are on time for our big meeting."

Dani watched the four boys, dressed in their hockey gear, skate down the hallway towards the man.

"They're here." Dani announced, flipping the page of the magazine she was reading before quickly shutting it closed as she looked at the boys, surprised. "You're here."

"BTR here on time?" Kelly appeared beside Gustavo as they looked at the group, shocked. "You guys have never done this before."

"Well, it's amazing how much you can get done when you've sworn off dating girls." James said, causing Dani to raise an eyebrow as she watched the three other boys nod in agreement.

"You've sworn off dating girls?" Gustavo asked.

"Well, they just end up moving to New Zealand on you."

"And then you're on again, off again is on again, then off again. It's exhausting."

"Since I've sworn off my fickle dating habits, my IQ has gone up 20 points. Go ahead. Ask me anything." James proclaimed.

"Okay, who was the first -" Kelly started to ask, but the boy quickly cut her off.

"Alexander Hamilton."

"With the time we save by not chasing girls, we've increased our hockey playing 79% and decreased our showering 98%." Carlos explained, causing the boys to cheer as they all lifted their arms up.

"Please re-increase your showering." Dani spoke with a straight face, causing the boys to slowly put their arms down. "Like yesterday."

"Yup, it's official. Big Time Rush is never going on a date again." Kendall declared.

"Good to know." Dani mumbled, locking eyes with the Knight boy before quickly looking away from him as he kept his focus on her.

"So what's the big news?" Logan questioned, causing the Knight boy to slowly look away from the Jennings girl.

"You finally made the cover of Pop Tiger Magazine!" Gustavo announced, turning the magazine in his hands around, revealing the new issue of Tiger Beat.

"With their 'win a date with Big Time Rush and Dani' contest." Kelly pointed out that in the corner was not only Big Time Rush but also Dani, causing the girl to gasp as she quickly rushed up from her seat, snatching the magazine from the man and quickly flipping to the article.

"WIn a date with Big Time Rush and Pop Princess Dani Jennings." Dani read, sitting on the arm of the couch.

The Mitchell boy snatched the magazine from her hands as he continued to read the article out loud. "Spend a day with them at the famous Palm Woods and wrap up your date with a big-time party in the very studio where the teens record their hits."

"But, Gustavo, we've sworn off dating."

"Mm, yeah.. No, you haven't!" Gustavo yelled, causing the boys to jump.

"Guys. It's a huge first step being on the cover of Pop Tiger, but now we have to work even harder to climb the cover." Kelly explained, grabbing the magazine from James' hands.

"Climb the whatta?"

"Climb the cover." Dani repeated, glancing over at the boys. "It's basic Pop Tiger knowledge."

"There are three levels of success in every teen fanzine." Gustavo explained. "The entry level, located at the bottom of the mag, like 'win a date with Big Time Rush and Dani,' or 'what's Jordan's big secret?'"

"The rising star level, mid-to-high on the magazine with a bigger picture, currently occupied by rapper Marcus." Kelly pointed at the middle of the magazine.

"Then there's the superstar level." Dani spoke. "It's the focal point of the entire magazine. Currently occupied by teen vampire queen Aubrey Stewart."

That caused the four teens to slowly turn their attention to the Diamond boy, who was sitting in the center of the couch.

"Another date gone horribly wrong!"

"So we have to wow these dates and impress the editors of Pop Tiger so that we can climb the cover and get to the next level." Gustvo explained.

"But, Gustavo, this timing is terrible."

"We're done with dates!" The boys snapped, standing up and crossing their arms.

"Well, I think it's a great idea." Dani chimed in, causing the boys to turn to her, making their smiles fall. "I think going on a date with a fan would be fun. Who knows, maybe I could find my next boyfriend."

"Come again." Kendall spoke, raising an eyebrow as the girl smirked to herself as she walked away with Gustavo and Kelly to discuss the details.

...

One month later...

"We're going on dates!" The boys happily exclaimed as the five teens stood in the Palm Woods lobby across from Gustavo, Kelly, the Pop Tiger editor, and her photographer.

"Dogs, heel." Gustavo ordered.

"Hey, guys, I'm Annie Winters, editor of Pop Tiger magazine." The woman introduced herself, walking down the line and shaking the teens hands. "Now, we just want you guys to be yourselves, have fun, and make sure that your dates have the best time ever."

"Got it!"

"Okay. Let's meet the winners." Annie grinned. "First up is James' date for today. Jeanette."

"Hello, Jeanette." James flirtily greeted.

"O-M-G, I can't believe I get to spend the whole day with James Diamond." Jeanette dreamily looked at the boy.

"You don't spend the day with James Diamond. You experience it." Dani mouthed the words along with Diamond boy as she heard those exact words a thousand times, causing Kendall and Logan to lightly chuckle.

"Carlos, your date for today is Tiffany."

"Tiffany, it is very nice to meet you." Carlos greeted the very pretty girl.

"I still can't believe I won." Tiffany smiled from ear to ear as she stepped between Carlos and Dani, causing the Jennings girl to send her a sweet smile.

"Kendall, you'll be with Bobby."

"Sounds cute." Kendall whispered to Logan, but Dani still heard.

All of a sudden, a young boy attached to a harness came hopping around the corner.

"Sweet! I can't believe I have a date with Kendall Knight of Big Time Rush."

"Yep, believe it." Kendall spoke through his gritted teeth.

"If you read this little fella's entry, you'd know he is the biggest BTR fan ever." Annie gushed.

"I always poster-pretend I'm you." Bobby confessed, holding up a poster that had Kendall's face removed as he poked his head into his place.

Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh

"He's definitely cute." Dani whispered teased, leaning towards the Knight boy, sending him a smirk.

"I'll see you two tonight at the party. Thank you." Bobby's mom bid, letting the boy go, causing him to latch onto Kendall.

"Oh, he's a hugger."

"Logan, your contest winner is... Rona."

A middle-aged woman popped her head from around the corner, causing Logan's smile to disappear for only a second.

"Where's my date?" Rona asked, causing the Mitchell boy to raise his hand, making the woman gasp. "Oh, look at him. He's like a boy-man."

"And finally, Dani." Annie grinned. "Your contest winner is Aidan."

A mixed boy with curly hair appeared from around the corner, causing a smile to grow on his face as his eyes set on the Jennings girl, making Kendall's smile fall.

"Hi." The boy breathed out, grinning as he stopped in front of the girl, making her smile.

"Hey." Dani greeted, causing the boy to take his place beside her, causing them to share a smile as Kendall eyed them.

"Okay, let's get a shot of all of our contest winners with their big-time dates." Annie announced, causing Dani to happily wrap her arm around the boy, while her friends... had mixed emotions.

...

"Then finally, we have the place I call home." Dani led the boy into her apartment after giving him the full tour of the Palm Woods. "It's not much, but I love it."

"I think this place is amazing." Aidan complimented, glancing around the room with a look of awe before looking back at the girl.

"Why thank you." Dani grinned at the boy before turning and grabbing a plate from the counter, holding it towards the boy. "Cookie? I made them myself."

"Wow," the boy hummed, nodding his head in delight, causing the girl to chuckle.

"So tell me about yourself." Dani smiled, leading the boy towards the couch. "What made you sign up for the contest?"

"Well, I'm in high school; it's my senior year, and I've always wanted to be a singer and actor, but my parents always thought it was just a silly dream." Aidan answered, letting out a fake laugh and glancing down.

"Yeah, I know how that feels. Can I give you some advice?" Dani spoke, causing him to glance over at her, sending him a small smile and making him nod. "Do what makes you happy. I was in your exact shoes before I came out here to LA. Did my mom like the idea of me dropping everything for a silly dream? No, she said that I was making the biggest mistake of my life. But in the end, it's our life."

"I'm glad someone knows how I feel." Aidan spoke, causing the girl to smile. "And for the contest, my girlfriend actually convinced me to enter. She thought it would be a good opportunity for me to find out about the music industry."

"Aw, we love a supportive girlfriend." Dani gushed with a smile, causing the boy to chuckle. "So, what do you want to know?"

"Everything." Aidan admitted, letting out a light chuckle, making the girl smile. "Like, I know there's the singing and dancing, but is it all worth it in the end?"

"First is coverage. Are you putting yourself out there for talent agents and producers to know your name? First impressions are everything in this industry." Dani explained, causing the boy to nod. "There's also a manager. Every artist needs one."

"I-I don't have a manager." Aidan stuttered out.

"Don't worry, I know just the girl."

...

Standing in front of the two teens was none other than Katie Knight, dressed in her business attire.

"Aren't you a bit young to be a manager?" Aidan chuckled nervously, looking at the younger girl.

"Look, do you want help or not?" Katie snapped, causing Aidan to quickly look between Dani and Katie, making the Jennings girl nod.

Yes, ma'am." The boy quickly responded. snapping his mouth shut as he nodded his head quickly. "I mean Katie."

"Great, first order of business." Katie spoke, taking her sunglasses off. "You are going to put out a song that is going to make the world know your name."

"And how do you suggest I do that?" Aidan asked, letting out a chuckle. "Because I've tried, and it flops every time."

"That was before you met me." Katie motioned toward herself. "But with me as your manager, I can guarantee you the world will know your name."

"But you haven't even heard me sing."

"You have a point." Dani said. "Show us whatcha got."

"Like, right now?" Aidan asked, pointing at the spot he was at, causing the girls to nod. "I don't have anything prepared."

"Rule number one of being a star. Always be prepared." Katie spoke, causing Dani to nod.

"Okay." Aidan hesitated, looking between both girls, before he cleared his throat.

I'm not sure what you see in me
But I miss the nights we stay up late
With no care for what's tomorrow
I wish I had it in me
Three words that I just wanna say
Cos your heart I wanna follow
So hear me out...

I don't wanna get to deep
Or make it a massive deal
But you're kinda everything I ever wanted
If I sound too cheap
It's cos I can't fight this feeling
When you give me everything I ever wanted

The room was quiet as the duo just looked at the boy with pure shock.

"Was it bad? It was bad, wasn't it?"

"No, that was amazing!" Dani reassured the boy, placing a hand on his shoulder, causing a smile to grow on the boy's face. "You, my friend, are going places."

"And I know just the place where you can have your first performance." Katie smirked, causing the two teens to share a look before shrugging their shoulders and looking back at the young girl.

...

The Pop Tiger party was now in full effect at Rocque Records.

"So..." Kelly dragged out, sliding into the spot beside Annie and sending her a smile. "Getting your final pictures for next month's Big Time story?"

"Yup, contest winners Jeanette and Tiffany have a blast with Carlos."

"Switch!" The boy exclaimed, jumping around to face Tiffany before going back and forth between both girls.

"Logan makes a new friend from an older contest winner."

Logan poses for a picture with Rona's niece, Muriel, who came to the party after he dropped the lady off at her sister's house.

"Bobby gets a dance with Kendall's sister."

Kendall was holding an excited Bobby back by his harness as he held his arms out towards the Knight girl dancing two feet in front of him.

"Back it up a little bit! Back it up a little bit!" Kendall exclaimed.

"Sorta."

"Easy, Bobby. Easy, Bobby."

"James can't get enough of Pop Tiger's buffet."

"Another meatball sub?" the waiter asked, eyeing the teenage boy.

"Hit me." James demanded, holding his plate out, causing the man to place a sub on it before the Diamond boy stuffed it into his mouth.

"And Dani." Annie started glancing around the room, noticing the blonde girl was nowhere to be seen. "Is not here."

The sound of drums filled the room as Dani appeared in the open door behind Annie and Kelly that led to the sound booth with a giant smile on her face as she slowly walked down the stairs.

People keep stoppin' me
People, they noticin' somethin' is different
Everything's different 'bout me

Boy, you came out of thin air, thin air, thin air

Pull me in closer

Oh ooh oh ooh ooh oh oh

Dani stood in front of Aidan with a smile on her face as she held out another microphone towards him, hesitantly he grabbed it as a grin grew across his face.

Boy, you came out of thin air, thin air, thin air
Like you've always been there, been there, been there
Before you I didn't care, didn't care, didn't care
Came out of thin air, came out of thin air

Oh, like you checkin' on me
Yeah, I've been watchin', too
It's like you're just a diva, but baby
That's because of you
You never knew I felt this too
But now we're here with nowhere left to hide
The way you're looking at me, it's how I look at you
Don't need space in between, just cut the tension right though
Real soon, we can fly to thin air to check the view, yeah

Boy, this is crazy 'cause it came out of thin air

Oh ooh oh ooh ooh oh oh
You got that perfect timin' and baby I swear

Boy, you came out of thin air, thin air, thin air
Like you've always been there, been there, been there
Before it you didn't care, didn't care, didn't care
Came out of thin air, came out of thin air

The crowd began to cheer, causing Dani and Aidan to smile from ear to ear before the girl pulled the boy into a tight hug as they posed for a picture for Pop Tiger.

"Yup, this is definitely a cover story." Annie declared, closing her notepad, causing Dani, Big Time Rush, and Gustavo to appear in front of her.

"Where on the cover?"

The woman grinned before walking away with Gustavo and Kelly by her side.

"Dani, I wanted to introduce you to someone." Aidan approached the girl, holding hands with a very pretty blonde. "This is Lara, my girlfriend of almost 3 years."

"It's so nice to meet you." Lara grinned, holding onto the boy's arm. "I'm a huge fan."

"It's lovely to meet you, Lara." Dani smiled, placing her hand on the boy's shoulder. "You got a good one here."

"Yeah, I do." Lara agreed, causing the couple to look at each other as they shared a smile.

"Dani." A voice called from behind the girl, gaining the trio's attention, causing the Jennings girl to turn around, finding Kendall standing there with a soft smile. "Can I talk to you?"

"I'll come find you." Dani turned back to Aidan and Lara, causing them to nod at the girl as she ignored Kendall. "It was great meeting you."

"You too."

Without uttering a word to the boy, she walked right past him and out of the studio into the lobby, with him right on her heels.

"Dani, look about the whole no dating..." Kendall started, but the girl quickly held her hand up, causing the boy to quickly close his mouth.

"You don't have to explain anything to me; it's not like we are dating or anything." Dani shook her head. "And if you don't want to date, or if you want to date, that's totally up to you."

"That's the thing, Dani. I do want to date you... eventually." Kendall addmitted. "I just feel like we've both been super busy with other stuff and that the only time we really see each other is when we're with the other guys at the studio. I mean one-on-one time, with just us. And like I know, I haven't really shown it, but I did mean what I said to you after the dance."

The duo went silent as Dani looked down at the ground.

"You're lucky you're cute, Knight." Dani said, looking up at the boy as a smile slowly grew on the girl's lips, placing her hand on the boy's cheek before making her way back towards the party.

Kendall couldn't help but smile as he watched the girl walk away.
