It was officially that time.

Dani and Big Time Rush were getting their own official merchandise thanks to Griffin and the RCM/CBT Globalnet/Sanyoid Corporation.

Of course, they were selling merchandise while they were touring, but this is a different ball game; this is their official merchandise that will be selling on walls in stores and online.

"Bring on the merchandise!" Logan cheered as the group rounded the corner of Rocque Records.

"Am I the only one nervous about this meeting with Griffin?" Dani questioned, causing the guys to share a look.

"Yup!"

"I hope we get our own special fragrance like Jay Z." James spoke.

"I want to play the Big Time Rush video game." Kendall stated.

"And I want to play with the BTR zombie attack squad action figures!" Carlos gasped, racing to the table, as Dani noticed Griffin sitting at the end of the table with red sheets covering things.

"Have a seat." Griffin smiled, causing the five teens to have a seat on the other end of the table with Gustavo and Kelly. "'Cause we're all excited to discover what merchandise lies beneath this shiny cloth. Hit it, marketers!"

"Boys, our crack staff has spent the last year researching, developing, patenting, and testing the exact merchandise that will amaze our retail partners." The female marketer explained.

"Are you ready for the Big Time Rush products that'll be flying off the store shelves all over the world?" The male marketer asked, smiling.

"Bring it on!"

"So ready!"

"Bring it!"

"I present to you the Big Time Rush... toilet scrubbers." the woman revealed, removing the first red sheet.

"Oh..." Dani's voice trailed off, noticing the boys' heads on toilet scrubbers.

"Big Time Rush... horse shampoo."

"And Big Time Rush action set-"

"The dolls aren't horrible." Kendall whispered to his friends.

"That says all your favorite big-time catchphrases." the woman explained, clicking the Logan doll, causing it to speak.

"Let's get some hockey balls and play a hockey game."

The boys looked at the dolls confused, causing the woman to click another doll—Kendall's doll, to be exact.

"I made boom-boom; better change me!"

Kendall looked at the doll in horror before the entire group turned to look at Griffin, waiting for an answer.

"I love it!" Griffin announced, clapping his hands with a smile. "What else do we have?"

"Moving on. Danielle-" The woman started, glancing over at the blonde girl.

"It's Dani." Dani quickly corrected the woman, sending her a tight lip smile. "No one really calls me Danielle."

"I present to you Dani Stick's." The man spoke, holding up a pair of chopsticks with the girl's logo on the side.

"We have a T-shirt with your face on it." The woman spoke, unfolding the T-shirt to reveal the picture, making the group grow confused.

"Yeah, that's not me, that's Mandy Moore when she was in The Princess Diaries." Dani pointed out, causing the team to look down at the shirt to find said actress as the others nodded their heads.

"Are you sure?" The woman questioned, causing the girl to raise her eyebrow as she nodded her head.

"I'm pretty sure I can tell the difference between me and Mandy Moore."

"It's okay, you guys look close enough." the woman said, waving the girl off. "And finally, you own an action figure."

"I like to sing sad songs about my feelings." The doll spoke in an annoying, high-pitched voice, causing Dani to let out a gasp as the boy's jaws dropped.

"Excellent work, you two." Griffin spoke as he stood up from his chair, causing the marketing team to high-five. "You're really thinking outside of the box."

"Is there any way we can put them back inside the box?" James asked, causing the others to nod.

"Yeah, because when I think of Big Time Rush, I think of not horse shampoo!" Gustavo exclaimed.

"These products are unique and different, which is exactly the kind of merchandise Sam Selmart loves." Griffin explains.

"Sam Selmart?" Logan questioned.

"As in the guy with like a trillion stores all over the country? The Selmart stores?" Dani asked.

Griffin and the marketing team turned their heads to the TV, where a video began playing and Sam Selmart appeared with his store in the background. The man is talking about a giant sale happening.

"That's the one." Griffin nodded once the commercial ended.

"Griffin, don't we think these products are, uh..." Carlos stuttered.

"Highly embarrassing!" Logan exclaimed.

"Oh, and stupid!" Dani added.

"And I don't say, 'I made boom-boom.'" Kendall snapped at the marketers.

"You just did."

"This is not about what you like. This is about what Sam Selmart likes, which is why our marketing team is going to pitch these items to him at 5:00 today at his west coast product search." Griffin explained, causing the group's eyes to go wide.

"Keep the prototypes." The marketers tossed the dolls to the boys and Dani. "Play with the dolls. Wash a horse."

"I think you'll like these products as much as we do."

Dani quickly rose to her feet with the boys, Gustavo, and Kelly, getting ready to complain and argue, but was quickly shut down by Griffin.

"And I don't want to hear any complaining or yelling."

...

Dani sat in the chair in the studio as she watched the boys and Gustavo yell inside the recording booth with the sound off.

"Okay, Griffin's gone." Kelly announced into the speaker, causing them all to stop at once, turning their attention to the woman before they marched out of the booth.

"Gustavo, if these end up on Selmart's shelves, we will be a laughing stock." James complained, holding up two of the toilet brushes with his and Logan's faces on them.

"Yeah, I know."

"I hate being laughed at." Logan grimaced. "One time in the third grade, when those kids pantsed me in the cafeteria."

"We said we were sorry!"

"And do these guys even look like a robot zombie attack squad?" Carlos asked, holding up the five action figures in his hands, pressing Kendall's doll.

"Kendall's got to go potty!"

The Knight boy quickly snatched the doll away as he yelled at it, "I do not say that!"

"Sweetie, it's just a doll." Dani spoke, placing a hand on the boy's shoulder.

"I have to agree with them on this one. These products are total boom-boom." Kelly spoke, causing Kendall to give the woman a side glare, making Dani chuckle as she patted his shoulder.

"Which is why... we are taking over this pitch meeting and presenting our own big-time merchandise." Gustavo announced, snatching the toilet scrubbers from James hands before tossing them into the trash.

"Right. Me, you, Kelly, and Carlos will stay here and record new cool catchphrases for our dolls that aren't." Kendall started, pressing the back of the Carlos doll.

"Yo, yo, let's get a hang down low on the snip-snap!"

"Yeah, James, Dani, and I will head up our own research and development." Logan added, causing the duo to nod.

"And create a big-time product that Sam Selmart and the whole world will want." James adds, fist bumping the Mitchell boy beside him.

"Alright guys," Carlos smiled, sharing a look with Dani.

"Let's get a hang down low on the snip-snap!" The duo cheered, causing the group to give them a confused look as they high-fived.

"Stop it!" Kendall snapped, pushing their arms down.

...

"Okay, we need to combine our strengths to create the perfect Selmart merchandising product." James spoke as the trio entered the crib.

"That may take a while to figure out." Dani stated, causing the boys to give her an unimpressed look. "Not funny? Okay, you may continue."

"Mine are high IQ, adorable dimples, and chemistry." Logan answered. "And yours are?"

"Girls, girls, hair, and girls." James offered. "So with your chemistry genius, my knowledge of girls, and Dani's girlness and genius, we can create something totally awesome."

"Chemistry girl?" Logan asked, causing Dani to raise her eyebrow at the boy.

"Are you sure you have a high IQ?" Dani questioned. "I'm pretty sure he means perfume, genius."

"Bieber's got one. Usher's got one. And we smell way better than them."

"Me and Dani will set up a mini lab while you gather up all of our favorite odors to combine into BTR's signature scent."

"Smellevate." James whispered, dramatically causing Dani and Logan to share a look.

"Name which will be discussed at a later time." Dani spoke, racing off with Logan to set up the minilab.

"Smellevate is a great name!"

"Okay, let's get started." Dani spoke, clapping her hands as she turned to face the boys. "James."

"Some crushed pine needles to remind us of our Minnesota roots." James spoke, tossing it into the beaker.

"A pinch of powdered hockey puck to evoke our favorite sport." Logan added.

"A splash of our favorite juice..." James started.

"Juice box juice!" The duo cheered together, squeezing the liquid in before placing the boxes back on the counter.

"Okay, anything else?" Dani questioned, making the two boys waft the mixture, causing the girl to raise her eyebrows.

"Perhaps some spice to capture BTR's zest for life." Logan suggested, causing the girl to snort.

"Perfect."

"Okay, now hurry up. The Selmart pitch is in 45 minutes, and me and Dani still have to make a fancy box." Logan spoke.

"Wait what?" Dani started but was quickly dragged away towards the table.

...

The trio went marching into the recording studio with the new fragrance on a tray that James was holding.

"I'm sure we don't have time to talk about it!"

"But do you have time to experience-." Logan started.

"The one scent that is bold enough to be called, Smellevate." James whispered, gesturing towards the fragrance.

"Uh, no! Because we need to come up with a plan to get rid of Griffin's marketing team so that we can take over that pitch meeting with Sam Selmart!" Gustavo snapped.

"On it!" The four boys exclaimed, popping up with tree hats on their heads.

"No tree hats!"

"Um, tree hats have solved a lot of problems." Kendall pointed out, causing the other four teens to nod.

"And they're awesome."

"Yeah, do you have a better idea?" Logan questioned.

"Huh?" Carlos added, crossing his arms.

"Well, uh, there's..."

Dani sighed, marching past the man towards the sound booth, picking up the phone, where she quickly dialed a number, making the group look at her confused.

"Who are you calling?" Logan asked, causing the girl to hold a finger up.

"Yes, hello, is this Griffin's marketing team?" Dani asked, speaking into the phone with a southern accent. "Yeah, well, this is the Selmart West Coast headquarters. We're unfortunately going to have to cancel that merchandising meeting we had scheduled for today. Mr. Selmart is feeling ill. Lovely."

Dani quickly slammed the phone back down before turning back to the others.

"Nice!"

"Let's go!" Gustavo exclaimed, causing the group to quickly rush out of the studio.

...

One by one, the group approached Sam Selmart dressed in business wear; Gustavo and the guys were wearing suits and ties, while Dani and Kelly were wearing a blazer and slacks.

"Who in the name of candied yams are you?"

"We are the Big Time Dani Marketing team of Kendall, James, Carlos, Logan, Dani, Gustavo, and Kelly." Kendall introduced them, causing them to smile.

"Too many names. I'm gonna call y'all Clem." Sam Selmart spoke. "What you got, Clem?"

"Sir, I'm sure you'll agree, the items under this fancy shiny-." Gustavo started, but was quickly cut off.

"Stop right there, big Clem." Sam interjected. "You see them boxes behind you? They are empty. I want to fill 'em with merchandise, get 'em to my stores, and make me some money. Now, quit tickling my side parts and pitch me!"

"Right! The first item you're going to see is a classic. The Big Time Dani action set." Kendall explained, revealing the five teen dolls.

"Which includes some of your favorite Big Time catchphrases." Carlos grinned, pressing the Kendall doll.

"You're stupid."

Dani's jaw dropped as she looked down at the doll before her head snapped over to the others.

"You're stupid!"

"I knew I should have stayed with you, idiots." Dani groaned, placing her hand against her forehead.

"Them dolls just sass me?" Sam questioned, pointing at the dolls.

"Uh, no, no, no! Wh-what the doll was supposed to say is." Gustavo nervously spoke, pressing the Carlos doll.

"Shut! Shut it forever!"

"And now," Kelly spoke, pushing the dolls off the table, smiling at the man.

"Here to show you the next product that I had absolutely nothing to do with is James and Logan!" Dani announced, pointing over at the boys, making them gasp. "But I'm sure you're going to love it!"

"We would like you to be the first to experience BTR's new fragrance..." Logan smiled, revealing the fragrance.

"A spicy, contemporary scent that says you want to live it big time; Smellevate." James spoke, approaching the man.

Sam Selmart leant forward to smell the fragrance and it only took one spray to the face for the man to begin screaming in pain.

"Ah! Oh, my seein' eyes! Oh, I'm temporarily blind!"

Dani's mouth dropped as the man quickly stood up from his chair and began running into stuff.

"What did you put in there?" Kendall and Carlos questioned.

"Logan said to make it spicy."

"No, he said to add spice, you idiot." Dani snapped, hitting the boy on the back of the head.

"You know, like cinnamon or nutmeg!" Logan explained.

"So... no to the habanero hot sauce?"

...

"And in our big story today, mega retailer Sam Selmart was injured in a merchandise meeting gone horribly awry. While being airlifted to the hospital, Selmart said, 'A blind salesman is like a donkey with a hangnail. You can lead him to the barn, but he'll still call you Susan.'" The news anchor spoke before Griffin angrily cut the TV off.

"Griffin, before you say anything, we can fix this." Kendall reassured the man, causing the group to nod.

"Let me guess: It involves a crank phone call, breaking and entering, and tree and hats."

The group froze as the five teens sat wearing tree hats. The boys were holding crowbars, Gustavo had some rope, and Kelly was holding the phone.

"We weren't actually going to break anything." James spoke, causing the boys to quickly toss their crowbars as they took off the tree hats.

"Tree hats don't work in the high-stakes business world. What might work is the personal apology you're going to give Sam Selmart today." Griffin explained, pointing at the group.

"Yeah, guys, let's go apologize. We should just go say sorry to Sam!" Carlos spoke in a high-pitched voice, holding up the five dolls. "Okay, yeah, maybe we should just stop talking because..."

Kendall and Logan quickly pushed the dolls away from the boy's hands.

"And after you apologize, I'll be there to personally pitch the products Sam was supposed to see yesterday at 5:00. The toliet brushes, the horse shampoo, the chop sticks, the t-shirt, and the dolls that do not tell Selmart to 'Shut it, shut it forever.'"

"Griffin, you can't seriously think people are going to want to buy this." Dani spoke, shaking her head. "These products are jokes."

"I hate when people laugh at me... One time at summer camp when those guys put a sign on my back that said, 'fart on me'." Logan spoke, causing Dani to glance over at the other three.

"We said we were sorry!"

"And now you're going to say you're sorry to Sam Selmart and pitch these products. What do your dolls have to say now?" Griffin asked, causing the group to quickly pick up their dolls.

"Let's go tell Sam we're sorry."

"Whatever Griffin says."

"Yeah, great plan, boss!"

"Away we go!"

...

The group found themselves standing once again in Sam Selmart's board room, where he was now in a hospital bed.

"Howdy, Arthur." Sam Selmart greeted him, tilting his hat forward.

"Sam."

"Hey, boys. Blind anyone lately?" Sam questioned, causing the group to begin talking over one another, but the man didn't want to hear it. "'Sorry' doesn't trim the whiskers on the admiral's beard, does it?

"Yeah, what exactly does that mean?" Dani asked, causing the others to nod.

"It doesn't matter, Blondie." Sam spoke. "But I will forgive you if you give me some merchandise I can sell in my stores and make money with."

"Sam, my research and development team at RCM/CBT Globalnet/Sanyoid has some exciting Big Time merchandise that's gonna fly off your shelves!" Griffin explained.

"Well, I sure hope they're better products than that last jackalope done tried to pitch me. Katy Perry horse shampoo and toilet scrubbers with One Direction's face on them. Why in the world would I want to scrub my John with Liam?"

Dani couldn't hold in her laughter, causing Kendall to quickly cover her mouth as the group sent Sam Selmart a nervous smile as Logan and Carlos pushed the product off the table, leaving the dolls.

"Which is why you're going to love the all-new and improved Big Time Rush and Dani Jennings action set."

"I made boom-boom better change me." The Kendall doll spoke, causing the group to nervously laugh.

"Boom Boom?" Sam questioned, frowning. "That ain't the kind of action I want! I want kung fu grid and superpowers!"

"Oh, oh, oh!" Carlos gasped, stepping forward. "These dolls fight zombie robots."

"Yeah, and they go 'pew, pew'!" Kendall added.

"'Pew, Pew'?" Sam asked, intrigued. "Now, I like me some pew, pew. What else they do?"

"Uh, they fly!" James exclaimed, causing him, Logan, and Dani to join in, picking up their dolls.

"I love me some flyin'! How do they fly?"

"Well, like this!" Griffin said, grabbing the doll from James' hands and throwing it towards the man.

Bad idea.

The doll hit one of the buttons on Sam's hospital bed that sent the man flying forward over the group's head into the pile of empty boxes.

"Well, he said he loved flying." Carlos spoke in a high-pitched voice, waving his doll, making Dani push the doll down as she kept her eyes locked on the man.

...

The group found themselves watching the CEO silently yelling inside the recording booth back at the studio.

"How long has he been in there?" Carlos asked.

"About an hour and twenty-three minutes." Kelly answered. "I think he's almost finished, though."

"And we're finished. Because Selmart stopped selling Big Time Rush and Dani's music in his stores." James spoke.

"Which accounts for 50% of our album sales." Gustavo cries.

"Actually, it's 72%." Dani corrected, causing the man to gasp, making her head shoot over to him. "But who's counting, right?"

"It's over." Griffin announced, stepping out of the booth. "I pitched horrible product ideas, launched the world's richest CEO over our heads, and killed your music career in less than three minutes."

"I have an idea." Dani smiled, looking over at the others. "I think I can fix this, but you guys have got to trust me."

"How?! We're banned from Selmart's West Coast headquarters and blocked from all of his phone lines." Griffin reminded the girl.

"Trust her, she's got this!"

The group found themselves hiding behind a bush outside of Selmart's West Coast headquarters, wearing tree hats.

"Are you sure this is going to work?" Griffin asked.

"Definitely. Probably not."

Dani watched as the others quickly raced the other way as she slipped through the front door.

Waiting, she watched as Selmart's nurse left the room before she entered the board room.

"Hi Mr. Selmart, sir." Dani spoke, gaining the man's attention as she entered the room, noticing the canons. "Before you call security or shoot me, with whatever that is, Just hear me out. I think we have your next big thing, and you are going to love it."

"I'm listening?"

"They're called tree hats." Dani announced, pulling the hat from behind her hat. "It's a Big Time original."

"Tree Hat?" Sam questioned her, causing the girl to nod. "What are they?"

"Well, Mr. Selmart, I'm glad you asked." Dani smiled. "This here tree hat is literally camouflage for your head. It's good for helping you hide in plain sight. I know it's sure helped me in some times of need."

"Stylish and biodegradable, it keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. I love 'em!" Sam exclaimed, causing the girl to grin. "I'm going to call 'em tree hats!"

"All you have to do is put BTR and my music back on your shelves, and you'll have yourself a deal!" Dani spoke.

Before the man had a chance to respond, the door burst open, and the others came rushing in, Carlos and James sliding across the table.

"Dani?" The group exclaimed.

"Hey guys." Dani grinned, glancing around at the others. "What took you so long?"

"Uh, we got a little caught up." Kendall spoke, making the others answer.

"Well, while you guys were outside ducking in the bush trying to make a plan, I was in here making a deal." Dani announced, turning her attention back to Sam Selmart. "So what do you say, Mr. Selmart?"

"Deal!" Sam exclaimed, causing the girl to grin. "I want two hundred thousand of 'em. I'm gonna put 'em in boxes and 'em all over the world. Money!"

"Jennings, you did!" Gustavo exclaimed. "What exactly did you do?"

"I gave him the best merchandise item to sell in his store." Dani said in a duh tone, placing the tree hat on her head.

"Tree hats!" The boys spoke. "Sweet!"

"But we thought you hated us." James stated.

"Pretty Clem, let me tell you a story. A feller once stabbed me in the foot with a penknife. Darn near took off my whole big toe. You want to know what I done? I bought every knife that fella had and made me rich as midas. What do you say?"

"And you'll keep selling all of our music?" Kendall asked, raising his eyebrow.

"Blondie and I have already discussed it." Sam reassured the boy, turning his attention to the Jennings girl. "So what do you say, Blondie? We got ourselves a deal."

"Yeah, we got a deal." Dani smiled, causing the group to cheer as they tossed their tree hats from their heads as Dani carefully shook the man's hand.

...

"We have to say we completely underestimated your merchandising and marketing genius." The female marketer spoke.

The group found themselves sitting around the conference table at Rocque Records the next morning with Griffin and the marketers.

"The tree hats are making Sam Selmart very happy." The man informed the group, causing the teens to smile in success.

"They're making me lots of money." Griffin added.

"In fact, Sam is so impressed with you guys,he's gonna be investing in some of your other product ideas." Gustavo announced, causing the five teens to share a confused look.

"What other product ideas?"

The group turned their attention to the TV in the corner of the room, where an ad began to play on the screen.

"Howdy friends, Sam Selmart here with this week's specials. Come on down to Selmart and get yourself a Big Time Tree hat for only $24.99. And while you're here, why not get yourself a Big Time Dani robot zombie action set! Pew, Pew! And they fly! And for you weekend gardeners, ain't nothin' keeping pests and bugs away like smellevate. Proven, tested, and effective on me. Selmart, where you can shop for more, for less, for more!"

...
