"Cool," Camille comments, looking at the picture of Big Time Rush in Pop Tiger Magazine. "You got your picture in Pop Tiger Magazine," She glances at Andi who stood next to her and then looks at the four boys who each had either a lot of bruises or something broken. "But what happened?"

"A lot." Andi replied. Andi was the only one out of the band that didn't have anything broken or bruised which surprised her. She thought she would at least have something bruised by the end of the day. She was glad that she was able to leave without any injuries.

"You guys look terrible." Camille bluntly said after looking at the boys.

"Cool," Camille comments, looking at the picture of Big Time Rush in Pop Tiger Magazine. "You got your picture in Pop Tiger Magazine," She glances at Andi who stood next to her and then looks at the four boys who each had either a lot of bruises or something broken. "But what happened?"

"A lot." Andi replied with a heavy sigh. Andi was the only one out of the band that didn't have anything broken or bruised which surprised her. She thought she would at least have something bruised by the end of the day.

"What happened? That picture happened!" James exclaimed, angrily pointing at the picture with the other three.

"Camille," Kendall said. "Get ready for a twisted tale of adventure, danger, and nail-biting suspense." A look of disgust forms on Andi's face when he spits out a tooth. Kendall's eyebrows raises at seeing the tooth on his hand. "Hey, my tooth came out."

"No, wait. That's mine." Carlos took the tooth and put it back in his mouth, causing the others to look at him with disgust.

"So, we were enjoying a calm afternoon in the crib." Kendall started to explain.

FLASHBACK

Andi follows her mom into the boys' apartment, not surprised to see them playing hockey. She takes the air horn her mom had brought just in case if they needed it for a situation like this and she blares it. She stopped it and smiled when she got the boys immediately stopped playing and stood by each other at hearing the loud sound. Andi rolled her eyes when Carlos shoved Logan to the side randomly and had a smug smile on his face.

"Get your helmets off and your smiles on." Kelly tells the boys. Logan gets off the floor and hits Carlos' shoulder. "Gustavo pulled some strings, and if we hurry, you can make the next Pop Tiger hot-new-star pinup fold-out special Spring poster issue."

Andi chuckles a bit, mumbling under her breath, "Try saying that five times fast."

The boys look at Kelly with confusion. "Kelly, in English, please." Kendall said to her.

Kelly rolls her eyes. "It's picture day! Move it!"

Once the boys got their hockey gear off everyone got in the limo and goes to Rocque Records. "I can't believe we're gonna be in Pop Tiger." James smiled.

Carlos nods in agreement. "I know, it's totally awesome! What's a Pop Tiger?"

From her place between her mom and James, Andi chuckles lightly. "Pop Tiger is a popular magazine mostly only teens and some young adults get."

"Yes," James points at her. "Exactly." He then pulled out a Pop Tiger magazine from his pocket, showing it to Carlos.

Logan glances at him weirdly. "Is that Katie's? Please tell me that's Katie's."

"Yeah, it'd be a little weird if it wasn't Katie's." Andi admitted, looking over at James with a look.

James looks at them with offense. "Hey, this magazine has great articles for guys too, like 'Omg, I I'm'd the wrong BFF'."

Kendall raises his eyebrows as he read the title of an article. "'What one thing would hottie hunk Zak Zevon bring to a desert Island?'" He then sarcastically comments, "I gotta say, I'm curious." He opens the magazine to the page that article is on to find out the answer. "His dog Snowball!"

Andi chuckled, shaking her head. She was never really one for celebrity gossip, but she didn't mind the occasional magazine here and there. Though it was a big deal for the boys to be able to get a photo shoot with the magazine since they were an up and coming band.

"What?" Carlos takes the magazine from Kendall. "What an idiot. Everyone know you bring a Roller Coaster!"

Andi furrows her eyebrows. "How would that even work?"

Logan shakes his head. "It wouldn't. And besides, you don't bring a roller coaster. You bring a flare gun to signal passing ships."

"Oh," Carlos scoffs. "You don't think people are gonna see my extreme looping coconut coaster?"

Logan points at him. "Your Island is stupid."

Carlos glares at him. "Your Island is boring!"

Logan glares back at him. "No, you're boring." The two then start fighting and so Andi pressed the air horn she still held onto to get the two to stop.

"Will you two please stop fighting? Honestly, sometimes you guys act like a bunch of kids." She chided the two boys. The two look down at their laps, mumbling apologies. She smiled and set the air horn on her lap, leaning back against her seat.

Kelly looks at Andi with a thankful smile when Carlos and Logan stop fighting. Andi smiles back at her. Kelly looks at the boys. "You guys need to stay pretty. This picture could end up on the walls of millions of girls."

The boys look at Kelly with wide eyes and each of them ask, "Did you say millions of girls?"

When they got to Rocque Records they immediately heard girls screaming. Andi looks out the window, rolling her eyes at seeing the fangirls of Dak Zevon running towards the limo. A few seconds later the group of fangirls leave and Andi guessed they found out where Dak really was.

"Woah, what was that?" Kendall questioned as each of them got out of the limo.

"That was a pack of screaming fangirls looking for Dak Zevon." Kelly answers, showing the boys a fold-out picture of Dak. "He's in the recording studio recording vocals for Varsity Vampire 2: Game On. Just one great picture in Pop Tiger and those girls will be screaming for Big Time Rush."

At hearing that the boys quickly run up the stairs to the door. Andi and Kelly follow them inside and Andi was surprised to see Jennifer, Kendall's and Katie's mom, and Katie standing in the hangout area. "Hey, what are you guys doing here?" Kendall asked his mom and little sister.

"What, I can't just come down to see my big brother, who I love?" Katie inquired.

Kendall puts a hand over his heart and smiles. Andi chuckles lightly, putting a hand on her hip as she looks at Katie. "Let me guess, you're here for Dak Zevon?"

Katie nods and smiles. "Yep. I just want him to autograph this picture for my wall."

"Really?" James chuckles. "I didn't think you were in to that kind of stuff."

Katie shrugs. "I'm a pre-teen girl." She smiles at the picture she shows them. "He's a cute pop star. I'm not made of stone, you know."

"Oh, yeah. Let me take a look at that." Logan steps forward, taking the magazine from Katie. He then puts the picture of Dak in front of his face and pretends to be him to tease Katie. "Look, I'm Dak Zevon, and I love you Katie Knight."

Andi's eyes grow wide when the group of fangirls run into the room screaming. Kendall grabs her arm, pulling her away from the group of fangirls when they were close to her. He didn't want her to get knocked down. Andi's heart skipped a beat as he pulled her to his side, wrapping a protective arm around her waist. She blushed a little and sent him a thankful look, which he returned with a smile.

The girls tackle Logan to the ground, only to realize that he wasn't Dak. They get off of Logan and Andi and the boys quickly step to the side when the group of fangirls run down the hallway.

"Now, where's Dak recording?" Jennifer asked Kelly.

Kelly apologetically smiles. "Sorry. I'm not allowed to say."

Jennifer puts her hands on Katie's shoulders, turning Katie to face Kelly. "Oh, look into those eyes and say that."

Katie looks at Kelly with puppy dog eyes for a few seconds until Kelly finally caved. "Studio 'B' down the hall to the right. Just stop with those eyes." Kelly pleaded, taking a step back to stand beside her daughter.

That was when Andi realized she and Kendall still stood close to each other and his arm was still wrapped around her. It just felt so natural that she didn't even think about it until now. She looked at him and he blushed a bit when their eyes met. He quickly let her go and she stepped to the side as she crossed her arms, trying not to miss his warmth. Kendall had to admit he didn't want to pull away from her. He wanted to stay like that a bit longer, but he didn't want her to feel uncomfortable.

Andi watches Logan stand up with wide eyes, seeing that he had one arm had somehow got out of the armhole of his long sleeve shirt. After he calmed down he follows Carlos, James, and Kendall to the studio where they heard loud music.

Andi lets out a sigh, glancing over at her mom with narrowed eyes when she saw her mom looking at her with a smirk. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I saw it." Kelly responds, referring to her and Kendall being close earlier. "You and Kendall, getting all touchy-feely. I saw it."

"There was no getting touchy-feely." Andi denies, feeling her face heat up. "He just didn't want me to get run over by a pack of fangirls."

"Uh-huh." Kelly says, raising an eyebrow. "Sure. If you say so."

Andi sends her a small glare. "Alright, fine. Maybe there was a little bit of getting touchy-feely," Andi admits reluctantly, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment as her heart raced. "But it was just a momentary thing. We were caught up in the chaos of the fangirl stampede, that's all."

Kelly chuckles softly, giving Andi a knowing look. "Sure, honey. Whatever you say."

Andi rolls her eyes playfully, but she couldn't shake off the warm feeling that lingered from being so close to Kendall. She couldn't deny that there was something special about their connection, something that made her heart flutter and her cheeks flush whenever he was near. It was a feeling that she hadn't felt before, and it was a feeling that she hoped would only grow stronger.

Andi follows her mom into the recording studio where it was set up as a photo shoot area. Bright lights lit up the room, a white back drop was set up, and there were fog machines and cameras. "This is so not like school picture day." Kendall noticed.

"Oh!" Marcos realizes that they were there and walks over to the group, holding his camera. He smiles at the boys. "Are you ready to rock my camera?"

"What?" The four boys questioned since they couldn't hear him over the loud music.

Marcos stops the music, throwing the remote off to the side before looking back at the boys. "That's better! So how are you guys doing?"

The boys start speaking at once, not really for sure what to say. Gustavo walks over to stand beside Marcos. "Boys, this is Marcos Del Posey, the best teen idol photographer on the planet.

"Some say photographer," Marcos smiles. "Some say magician. Mira. One camera." Andi blinks, leaning backwards a bit when he suddenly takes pictures of them. She didn't expect him to do that and the sudden bright light of the camera flash caught her off guard. "The boys quickly shake their heads and exclaim, "No!"

Marcos frowns. "Marcos invented the stuffy puppy shot."

"Yeah, no." Gustavo takes the stuffed puppy from him, throwing it to the side of the room. Gustavo looks at the boys. "What I want is a simple shot of the four best friends just chilling and being themselves."

Kendall smiles and points at Gustavo in a sign of agreement. "I totally agree."

Gustavo points back at him. "I totally don't care. Now get on the backdrop and look handsome."

The four boys go over to stand in front of the backdrop. Everything was going great until Carlos and Logan started arguing. Andi overheard something about Carlos bringing a fridge packed with ice cream to his island and Logan argued it wouldn't work. They started slap fighting each other in front of poor Kendall who leaned back with a grimaced and tried not to get accidentally hit. Andi grinned when she raised the air horn she still held and used it again. She had to admit she loved using the air horn. Carlos and Logan immediately stopped fighting and look over at er.

"I love this thing." Andi muttered to herself, a smirk forming on her face.

"Dogs, heel!" Gustavo tells the boys. "We need a great picture before the Pop Tiger Magazine gets here in two hours. And now look into the camera and think about something funny."

"You mean like that?" Kendall asked, gesturing to Marcos who was bent over looking into his bag right beside the fog machine and it looked like the fog was coming out of him. The boys start laughing at the scene, Carlos even wrapped his arms around James and Kendall while Kendall had a hand on Logan's shoulder. Andi honestly thought it looked like this could be a great picture.

"Take the picture now before something goes wrong!" Gustavo exclaimed.

Marcos glances at him with offense. "What could go wrong? I am Marcos!"

Kelly shakes her head. "Oh, you don't know these boys, so snap the picture now."

Marcos shrugs, gets up, and goes over to stand behind the camera. He was about to take the picture when someone shouts, "Freeze!"

Andi looks over along with the others, not expecting to see two police officers. "Gustavo Rocque, you failed to report to your court-ordered community service." The male officer said as they both walk over to take ahold of Gustavo's arms.

Gustavo looks at them with confusion. "Officers, I don't know what you're talking about."

"I'm talking destroying Matthew McConaughey's mailbox with…" The woman officer looks over at Kelly, letting go of Gustavo's arm to grab Kelly's arm. "Her."

Andi looks at her mom with wide eyes and scolds her. "Mom!"

Kelly panics, pointing at Gustavo. "He made me be the lookout!"

"I still can't believe you went along with it." Andi sighed. She hoped that her mom and Gustavo would be okay.

"Hey, I'm the victim here." Gustavo pointed out. "He plays the bongos 'till 3 in the morning!"

"Let's go." The male officer said, pushing Gustavo out of the studio.

"Wait, what?!" Andi watched with worry and shock as the officers push Kelly and Gustavo out of the studio.

Andi looks at the boys, sharing a panicked look with them before she looks at Marcos when he speaks. "Drama." Marcos got a remote out of his pocket, turning the music back on. Andi furrowed her eyebrows when he gets a stuffed puppy and she really hoped that this wouldn't go down hill, but she had a bad feeling that iA few minutes have past and Andi was quite surprised to see Griffin and two of his assistants walk into the room. "Great news, everyone. I'm in charge." Griffin announced and a confused expression forms on Andi's and the boys' faces.

Griffin walks over to stand beside Marcos, looking at the boys with a smile. "Now, let's get my big-time boys on the walls of teen girls everywhere."

Andi lets out a small sigh of relief and the boys go back into their positions they were in the first time they tried taking the picture. Marcos went to press the button to take the picture. "All I have to do is push this button and…"

"Wait." Griffin interrupts and Marcos stops. "This isn't bad, but…Change everything." Griffin smiles. "We need something bolder, something nobody's ever seen before."

Now the boys were dressed in Matadors outfits standing in front of a space themed backdrop. It was obvious that Andi and the boys were the only ones who were not happy with this idea, but no one seemed to care about that.

"Space Matadors." Griffin grinned, gesturing to the boys.

Marcos smiles. "I love it!"

"He's right." Logan pointed at Griffin.

"No one's ever seen this before." The four boys spoke in a monotone voice. would.

"This is really messed up." Carlos commented.

"Our first picture, and it's going to brand us forever as Space Matadors!" James angrily remarked.

Logan sighs. "This is not going to impress millions of girls. I would say six or seven max."

"Probably not even that." Andi voiced, sheepishly smiling at Logan when he sent her a small glare. She felt bad for the boys and wished there was some way she could help them out, but she wasn't sure how.

"Smile pretty, pretty." Marcos said to the boys, going to press the button to take the picture.

"Wait." Griffin stopped Marcos from taking the picture causing Marcos to let out a frustrated sigh while Andi and the boys let out sighs of relief.

"The teen girl inside me says something's missing." Griffin commented.

"Marcos knows what it is." Marcos left the room to grab something.

Andi looks back at the boys when she heard Carlos, James, and Logan say, "Kendall."

"Don't panic." Kendall tells them. He points at the door. "In three seconds, Gustavo will barge through that door and fix everything like he always does."

"One…"

"Two…"

Disappointment falls on Andi's and the boys' faces at seeing Marcos holding stuffed animals in his hands instead of seeing Gustavo. Marcos smiles. "Giant stuffy puppies for everyone."

"That's not Gustavo." Carlos states the obvious. "This is going very bad." Andi sighed and the boys nodded in agreement.

Marcos hands the boys each a stuffed puppy before going back to the camera. "Perfect." Griffin complimented. "This photo is now bold and cute and cuddly. Let's shoot it."

"Smile pretty, pretty." Marcos speaks to the boys who forces a smile at the camera.

"Okay." Kendall nods. "Now we panic."

BACK TO PRESENT DAY

"Okay, I get it." Camille now sat on a chair beside Andi who sat next to her. There were also even a few people who had come over to listen in on the story. "You guys didn't want to look like Space Matadors, but then what happened?"

"Top Teen photographer Marcos was about to take the picture when…"

CONTINUATION OF FLASHBACK

Marcos frustratingly waves his arms around for a second when Kendall speaks up. "Wait! We can't take this photo."

Andi furrows her eyebrows, wondering what he was going to say. Griffin looks at Kendall with confusion. "Why not?"

"Because it's not finished." Kendall replies. "I mean, sure, it's bold, and…"

"And cute and cuddly." James adds. "But we don't have, uh…"

"A snowmobile." Carlos randomly said and everyone looked at him with confusion.

"Sure." Kendall nods, going along with it. "With a snowmobile you're bold, cuddly, and dangerous."

Logan nods. "It's the pop pinup hat trick."

"The Space Matadors are right." Griffin agrees and then told his assistants to get him a snowmobile. Griffin looks at everyone. "Everyone take five for a snowmobile break!"

The boys throws the stuffed animals on the floor, rushing into Gustavo's office. Andi follows them, seeing that they took the hats off. The hats were awful as well with the whole outfit in her opinion. "We cannot let Griffin take this photo." Kendall speaks angrily. He points at Carlos, looking at him with a smile. "By the way, kudos on the snowmobile idea."

Kendall sits on the edge of the desk beside where James was standing while Carlos points back at Kendall. "Which is why I'm taking one with me on my desert island."

Andi went to sit on the edge on the other side of the desk as Logan slaps Carlos' shoulder. "A desert island has a tropical climate, professor."

"Will you just let me have fun on my desert island? It's mine!" Carlos complained.

"Well," James gets his lucky comb out of his pocket. "I'm taking my lucky comb."

Logan looks at him with furrowed eyebrows. "But you're alone. No one's gonna see your hair."

"Hey, I'm there." James pointed out and Andi rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Focus!" Kendall called out, causing his friends to nod in agreement and look at him.

"Right." They spoke in unison.

"We need to figure out a way to change the photo." Kendall continued.

"Yes, from cuddly space matadors to…" Logan looks around for an idea when he noticed a Pop Tiger magazine laying on a nearby couch with it open to a Dak Zevon picture." Something like this." He said, putting the picture in front of him. His friends all smile and nod in agreement.

"There he is!"

Carlos jumps on the couch as a group of fangirls ran into the room. Kendall had grabbed Andi's arm again to pull her close and out of the way of the stampede, wrapping his arms around her. Andi's heart fluttered and she couldn't deny that she enjoyed the feeling of being so close to him.

"It's not him." One of the girls realized and then all the fangirls ran out of the room, screaming.

Kendall reluctantly pulls away from Andi to get up and close the door quickly as the fangirls left. "Okay, let's put this photo away before someone gets killed." He decided, picking up the photo of Dak Zevon in the magazine. Andi hated how much she missed his touch, but she was glad he was there to help her out of the way of those fangirls.

Andi nods, looking at the boy who was still on the floor. "For Logan's safety."

"Now, where's Gustavo, 'cause he should be saving our photo!" James angrily exclaimed.

"Gustavo's probably not coming back for awhile." Andi sighed.

Kendall points at her in a sign of agreement as he nods before he looks at her and the others. "Which means we have to do this on our own."

"Ouchies." Logan groans from his spot on the floor and James reaches a hand down to help him up. When Logan gets up, Andi notices his jacket was on backwards. Logan looks down at himself with panic. "Is my head on backwards?"

"No, genius." Andi chuckles. "Only your jacket." Logan sighed with relief.

Grinning, Carlos puts his helmet on. "And we're in charge now." He looks at Kendall. "What do we do?"

"We're gonna take a secret photo and give that to the Pop Tiger messenger when he gets here." Kendall answered.

"James, you're in charge of wardrobe." Kendall points at James and James nods. "We need cooler clothes. No offense to Matadors. Logan, we need to get this room super bright like Marcos' lights." Kendall tells Logan. Logan nods, looking around the room until he notices two lamps behind him and picks them up. Kendall points at Carlos. "And Carlos, you're gonna break down any door that stands in our way."

"Great, but we still need a camera and a white backdrop." James reminded the group.

Andi grabs a nearby remote, pressing a button making a white backdrop fall behind where Carlos, James, and Logan are standing. She smiles. "Only need a camera. And I can probably try to get one of Marcos' cameras." She suggests, setting the remote down. "But we have to be quick."

Kendall smiles, nodding in approval. "Okay, great. Thanks."

"And when are we gonna do all of this?" Logan asked.

"We've got plenty of time." Kendall responds. "You know how long it's going to take for Griffin to find a snowmobile in L.A?"

All of a sudden the door opens causing Carlos, James, and Logan to quickly move over to where Andi and Kendall are sitting on the desk while they all screamed. Andi and Kendall had instinctively grabbed onto each other and both of their hearts were beating fast. Griffin is at the door on a snowmobile, revving the engine. "Look what daddy found. Now go let's take the picture."

Andi and the boys were back in the studio and now the boys were on the snowmobile. "My inner teen girl is so putting this picture on her wall." Griffin smiled.

"Yeah, I would not." Andi muttered under her breath. She would not put this picture up on her wall and she's sure no other teen girl would either. This wasn't a good idea. The boys didn't want this. Andi felt bad for them, but what could she do to help? She couldn't exactly stop them. They just had to wait for the right moment when they can take the secret photo.

"My inner teen girl says we need…" Marcos grabs another stuffed puppy. "One more stuffy puppy."

Griffin looks at him. "Your inner teen girl is wrong."

Marcos shrugs, throwing the stuffed puppy over his shoulders and goes to take the picture. "Wait!" Kendall shouts. Marcos groans. "We need more fog."

"He's right." Marcos agrees with Kendall. "We need more fog."

James and Logan get up and start putting more fog in the room, but it got to the point where they all needed to leave the room to breathe. "That might have been too much fog." Marcos coughed.

"Alright, everyone. Fog break. Five minutes." Griffin told everyone and he and Marcos walks off.

Kendall points at Andi who shows the camera that she snuck out. "Secret photo time."

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Andi and the boys rush down the stairs to where the wardrobe room is at only to find that it was locked. They stood back as Carlos runs at the door, getting it to open.

"That was fun!" Carlos exclaimed after a loud crash is heard.

The other three boys rush into the room, closing the door behind them while Andi stayed out in the hallway, making sure that no one was coming by. A few seconds later Andi looks over when the door opens, furrowing her eyebrows at seeing that they looked nice from only the waist up. "I hope you guys know you still have those Matadors pants on."

"We know." James rolls his eyes. "We'll just shoot it from the waist up."

"Okay." Andi nods and gestures for them to get going. "Boys, let's go!"

Once they get back to Gustavo's office the boys put their Matadors jackets and hats out of the way. James closed the door while Logan set up the lamps and Andi got the camera ready.

"Alright, boys. Smile." Andi said once they stood in front of the white backdrop. Andi makes sure the picture will be from the waist u. When she was about to take the picture she saw a red light on the camera. She groans. "Got a problem."

"Problem?" Kendall furrows his eyebrows. "What problem?"

"Camera's dead." Andi sighed with annoyance. Of course this would happen.

The boys drop their heads in defeat after hearing that. The five of them look over at the door when they hear someone knocking. The boys quickly get their Matadors outfits on. The five teens stood in front of the camera and the light set up they made to hide it from Griffin.

"Hey, fellas. The fog's gone." Griffin informs them. "Let's take that picture."

The boys fake their excitement and the five teens follow Griffin and his assistants back to the studio.

"Alright, the Pop Tiger messenger is on it's way." Griffin spoke as the boys got back on the snowmobile with holding the stuffed puppies. "Now, let's take this picture."

"Wait!" This time Andi shouted along with the boys. They were getting desperate and didn't want the photo to be taken.

"No more waiting!" Marcos yelled, looking annoyed and frusturated.

Griffin gets his two assistants to go stand on either side of the picture set up area so the boys couldn't escape. "Now, smile pretty, pretty." Marcos smiled.

"Well, maybe girls will like Space Matadors on a star-mobile holding stuffy puppies." Carlos nervously smiles at his friends.

"They won't." James and Logan said to Carlos.

"Well, this'll never work." Kendall dropped the stuffed puppy, taking out the Pop Tiger magazine, brought the fan near him closer to him, and put the magazine in front of the fan.

The magazine gets blown over to Griffin and he exclaims, "I've been hit!"

"Oh my gosh, it's Dak Zevon!" Andi exclaimed, going along with Kendall's plan.

Andi quickly steps back when she hears the screams of fangirls, her eyes growing wide as they tackle Griffin to the floor and end up dragging Marcos to the floor. The boys threw the stuffed puppies to the floor and get off the snowmobile, moving to stand beside Andi. Andi quickly caught the camera when it was thrown into the air near her.

"I can't believe that actually worked." Logan smiled.

"Let's go, go, go!" Andi shouts urgently and gestures for the boys to go to the office, wanting to get this picture taken in time. While they get out to the hallway, the boys start to take off their Matadors outfits.

"Andi, dogs, what is going on here?" Gustavo questioned as he and Kelly rushed over to them, both wearing orange jumpsuits. Andi was confused about why they were wearing orange jumpsuits but she didn't say anything about it.

"Oh, we're saving our photo from Griffin." Kendall replied, gesturing to the studio.

Each of them look over when they see the messenger for Pop Tiger magazine drive in on a scooter. "Here to pick up a photo card for Pop Tiger Magazine."

Andi and the boys point at him, each of them speaking at the same time, "Coming right up."

Andi and the boys go to Gustavo's office and while the boys get their jackets off Andi makes sure that this camera she has is charged. Gustavo and Kelly walk in, looking around with confusion as Logan turn on the lamps that he had set up.

"'Kay, boys. Ready?" Andi asks after the boys got in their positions and had the clothes they picked out on. When they nod and smile at her, she returns the smile. "Smile pretty, pretty." She said in the same accent as Marcus did. She took the picture from the waist up and the boys let out a sigh of relief at hearing the click of the camera. The Puerto Rican girl got the memory card out of the camera and handed it to the Pop Tiger messenger with a polite smile.

"See you in Pop Tiger, boys." The messenger said to the boys before he left and the boys cheered, happy they finally got the photo they wanted.

They stop and turn to Gustavo when he speaks. "I don't know what happened here today, but maybe we should leave the dogs alone more often." He said as he shares a look with Kelly. "And I'll be more assured nothing bad will happen 'cause Andi will be with them and she's more responsible than the four of them put together." Andi grinned, pleased by the compliment from him since it was rare.

Everyone looks over at the vent in the wall when the gate is kicked off. Katie stands up with a wide smile on her face. "Hey, guys. Look who I found today." She pointed to her left as Dak Zevon stood beside her. Andi's eyes grow wide and her mouth formed into an 'o' shape. She wasn't expecting to see him and Katie. She thought it was sweet that Katie helped Dak out.

"I think she just saved my life." Dak chuckled lightly with a small smile, putting a hand on Katie's shoulder which caused the young girl to grin.

"That's Dak Zevon!" Katie shouted excitedly.

Andi and the boys quickly tell her to be quiet and at hearing the fangirl's screams, Katie pushed Dak down behind the desk so he was hidden. Andi quickly got out of the way, hiding behind her mom as the pack of screaming fangirls ran into the room and tackled the four boys.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Huh, who knew such a simple picture could bring you so close to death." Camille remarked.

James smiles. "But it was totally worth it."

Carlos nods. "'Cause we're gonna be on the wall of millions of girls."

"All over the country." Logan added.

Camille chuckles lightly. "Of course you are. 'Cause Dak Zevon is on the other side."

The four boys sit up, looking at her with wide eyes along with Andi. "What?!"

Camille turns the picture around, showing them the picture of Dak Zevon, and Andi and the boys groan.

"Welcome to Rocque Records where you are gonna sing, dance and sweat your butts off if you wanna end up on these walls." Kelly welcomed the boys to Rocque Records while she and Andi led the boys down the hallway of Roque Records. As Kelly welcomed the boys to Rocque Records, her voice echoed with enthusiasm through the hallway. And walked alongside her, smiling as she walked with her mom The corridor was adorned with gold and platinum records, a testament to the talent that had passed through these halls.

As they turn a corner, Andi notices the boys were looking at one of the posters on the wall and she clicks her tongue, grimacing as she shakes her head. "Boyquake was never a good band in my opinion." She admitted as the four of them looked at her.

"Are we gonna have to dress like that?" Carlos pointed at the poster that had the four members of Boyquake dressed in odd outfits in front of a city background.

She shrugs. "I would say no except I'm not in charge here."

"Do we want to end up on these walls?" Kendall asked his friends, looking hesitant.

James nods and glares at him. "Yes."

Kelly then walks over to the group with Nicole Scherzinger."Guys, say hi to Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycats Dolls." The boys quickly turned around and gasped as they looked at her.

Nicole smiles. "Hey, guys, what's up?"

Andi raised her eyebrows when the boys go silent. She looked at each of them, noticing they were staring at Nicole in awe and she wondered if any of them were going to speak. She smiled with amusement, figuring out they were awestruck by Nicole. She didn't blame them. She was that way when she first met the pop star.

Carlos was the first one to break the silence, pointing at James. "He's gonna marry you!"

Andi and Kelly chuckle. Nicole puts one hand on her hip, looking at James with a smile. "Where's my ring?"

James' eyes widens. He gulped nervously, starting to stutter out a response, but never actually got a word out.

Kendall steps in front of James, looking at Nicole with a smile. "We're recording some demos with Gustavo."

Nicole nods in understanding. "Gustavo."

"Yeah," Kendall nods and tilts his head to the side, looking at her curiously. "Have you worked with him?"

"Yes," Nicole replies. "Actually on my first album. Let's just say we had some…." Her voice trails off as if she was trying to find the right words to say. She shares a look with Andi and Kelly before looking back at the boys. "Creative differences."

The sound of a door opening is heard and they look over, seeing Gustavo had opened the door of his office. "Nicole, baby! Oh!" He quickly closed the door when Nicole threw a nearby telephone at him.

She turns back to the boys with a fake smile. "Good luck, boys."

The boys watch with sad faces as she and her crew walk past them down the hallway. Andi heard the door of Gustavo's office open and she looked over, seeing Gustavo peeking out with a nervous expression on his face.

"All clear." Kelly informed him. Gustavo closed the door to his office and groaned.

He walks over to them and the boys immediately turn around to face him when he speaks. "Okay. So, you guys ready to be stars?" Andi looked at the boys with curiosity, wanting to know the answer as well.

The four boys have smiles on their faces as they nod. "Yeah!"

"Good. Then prove to me you can be stars." Gustavo takes Carlos' helmet off he had on his head and the brunette-haired boy frowns. "We have three days to prove to this record company that there's something, anything here."

Kendall looks at him with wide eyes. "Uh, three days? What happened to three months?"

"Uh, the CEO of all our butts wants to see you guys on Friday." Gustavo responded.

"We have to be a band in three days?" Logan asked as Carlos crossed his arms.

Gustavo shakes his head. "You have to be a great band in three days." He corrected Logan.

"Unless you don't think you can do it, Mr. make us a pop group." He voiced, walking over to stand in front of Kendall.

"Oh, we can do it. No problem." Kendall spoke.

Andi scoffs. "Good luck with that."

The boys look at her with offense. "We thought you were on our side!" Logan exclaimed, gesturing to them.

"I am." Andi nods and shrugs. "I'm just saying it's gonna be a lot more work than you boys think it is." She explained.

Kendall's eyes meet hers and he nods slowly, understanding her point. "Okay, I get it. Thanks for looking out for us, Andi." He smiles at her gratefully. Andi smiles at him and nods. Kendall then looks over at Gustavo looking determined where as the other boys aren't looking so positive about this. "Bring it." Kendall challenged.

Gustavo narrows his eyes at him. "Oh, I will bring it," He steps closer to Kendall. "I'll bring everything I got."

After a moment of silence and intimidating staring between Kendall and Gustavo until Kendall speaks up. "This is a little too close for me."

"Yeah, me too." Gustavo agreed and then quickly left.

Andi is now standing in the room where the bands practiced dancing, singing and playing their instruments with Gustavo, Kelly and the boys who were all wearing dark green shirts and camo pants, standing in a line with there arms behind their backs. Andi stood by her mom, her arms crossed as she watched the boys who were standing in front of her.

Gustavo was wearing some type of uniform with a lot of bling, a green hat and sunglasses. Andi thought the outfit was ridiculous.

"To be a great pop group you need four things." Gustavo started to explain, walking in front of the boys.

"Great dancing, a great look, a great song, and great singing." Gustavo finished listing off the things a great pop group needs as he stands besides Kelly. Kelly raised a air horn and blew it, startling the boys, who didn't realize she had one this whole time.

Six people then walk into the room. Three of them work with outfits, hair and makeup, one of them works with dancing and the other two works with marketing.

"And by the end of today, me and my team will transform the four dogs from Minnesota into Gustavo Rocque's new pop explosion." Gustavo informed the boys as each member of Gustavo's team strike a pose expect the marketing team. Everyone looked over at them.

"Uh, we're the marketing team. We don't really have a move." The blonde-haired woman said.

The brunette-haired man wearing glasses shrugs. "Well, we could try something."

The both of them then do the robot dance and Andi facepalms. Out of all dance moves they chose that one. "Stop it. Stop it now." Gustavo told them. The two immediately stopped and stood like how they were when they walked in.

"Thank you. First up in boot camp, great dancing." Gustavo announced.

Andi sighs, looking at her mom with a hopeful look. "Let's hope this goes well."

Carlos looks at her with narrowed eyes. "Are you saying that we can't dance? You haven't even seen us dance."

Kendall looks over at him and shakes his head. "We can't dance."

Carlos sighs. "Yeah, I know."

The other members of Gustavo's team waited for their turn while Mr. X was up first. "Mr. X has choreographed for Boyquake, Boyz in the attic, Madonna, Beyoncé, and 'Yo Gabba Gabba'." As Gustavo told the boys this Mr. X does short dance moves from each of the band or dancer he has choreographed for.

"And now I will make you xplode with the dance." Mr. X commented, walking up to the boys. Carlos looks at his friends before putting on his helmet.

Mr. X does a leg kick before walking back to stand a few inches in front of them. "We will start with an xamination. Cross leg, spin, pose."

Mr. X then does the cross leg, spins and poses. He looks at the boys as if telling them that it was their turn. Kendall and James did it right and on time together, whereas when Logan went to strike a pose he smacked Carlos in the face, making Carlos fall to the ground.

Andi's eyes widens as she watched what happened. "You okay, Carlos?" She asked, looking over at Carlos with concern. James and Logan quickly help him back to his feet.

"I'm good. Yeah, I'm good." Carlos reassured her and she nodded, relieved that he was okay.

Mr. X walks up to Kendall. "He is great, but not serious." Kendall smiled at him.

Mr. X walks over to James, next. "He is serious, but not great." James frowned at his comment.

Then Mr. X walks over to Carlos. "He lost a pet when he was young, and he is still sad."

Carlos nods with a frown on his face. "Sparky."

Last but not least, Mr. X walks over to Logan. "And he is just plain awful."

Logan takes a deep breath and nods in understanding. "Yup. Heh."

Mr. X moves to stand besides Gustavo. "They are xcruciating and cannot be ready by Friday."

Gustavo looks over at him. "I'll xdouble your salary."

Mr. X nods. "Xdone."

"All right," Gustavo turns to the boys. "I'm gonna be back in one hour, and I wanna see dancers, not dogs." He looks over at Andi. "I want you to stay here and make sure that they actually do work and don't act like dogs."

Andi sighs. "Fine." She knew there was no point in protesting. Gustavo was going to get his way anyways. He usually does. She watched Gustavo and Kelly leave the room and then turned back to the boys as Mr. X took his sunglasses off.

"Starting positions." He announced. He pointed at Andi who looks at him with confusion, but then he gestured for her to turn on the radio which was right next to her. She nodded and turned it on.

Mr. X does the cross leg, spin and pose move he did earlier. The boys do it as well but Carlos almost fell over.

"Again." Mr. X does the move again and so do the boys.

Andi sighs, moving to sit on the ground since she knew this would take awhile for them to get the hang of it. She doesn't understand why, it didn't look that hard to do. Though she knew she would probably be thinking differently if she had to try it. She winced when Logan accidentally wacked James in the face, making James fall backwards.

"James, you good?" Andi called out to him, looking at him with concern.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." James replied, giving her a thumbs up as he moved to stand back up.

She sighed with relief. Good, he's okay. Mr. X then goes over to stand nearby them and shows them how to do it up close thinking that would help. It didn't. Mr. X then tries a different move and the boys aren't even paying attention now, they're just goofing off. Andi tried telling them to pay attention, but she just ended up laughing at something stupid they're doing and let it happen. Probably wasn't the best idea for Gustavo to give her this job. She isn't doing a very good job. Can you blame her though? Four teenage boys trying to learn how to dance isn't an easy task.

At one point during the dance lesson, Logan was on James back while Kendall was on Carlos' and they were running around the room trying to knock each other off. Andi was now standing besides Mr. X who didn't look that happy. The boys continue to do crazy and silly moves that were starting to annoy Andi, wishing that they would just pay attention so they could get done. Mr. X pointed at Carlos, who does a ballerina move, he points at Logan who does a move similar to the running while Kendall waves his arms in front of his face. Andi gasped and winced when Carlos ran into the wall and ended up falling over.

"Carlos?" Andi hesitantly asked, hoping that he was alright.

After a moment of silence, Carlos replies and she sighs with relief. "I'm okay!" Carlos called out.

Mr. X frustratingly puts his sunglasses back on he took off earlier. She doesn't know where the boys got these, but now they're were playing hockey with brooms and a basketball. She moved out of the way as they run towards where she and Mr. X stood.

Next, Mr. X spins and the boys spin as well, except Carlos knocked Logan onto the ground and fell onto the ground from being dizzy. James then fell on the ground from being dizzy and the last to fall on the ground was Kendall. Andi facepalmed while Mr. X frustratingly threw his sunglasses to the side. How were they going to be a band in three days if they can't even dance?

Gustav turns off the music. "Okay, so it's been an hour and…" His voice trailed off as he looked at the boys who were sitting on the ground looking worn out. Carlos was even hanging off of one of the ballerina poles, hanging upside down. Kelly looks around the room noticing Andi missing and looked at the boys for an answer as to where her daughter went. "Where's Andi?"

"Over there." The boys replied, each of them pointing over at Andi. The Puerto Rican girl was sitting on the floor, leaning against the wall near them asleep. She was tired from dealing with them and trying to help the boys dance and stop them from goofing off. They kept her busy. It was like babysitting the boys all day, well more like watching a bunch of children. Her arms were crossed and she used a bundled up jacket as a pillow.

Gustav narrows his eyes. "How is she asleep? She didn't even do anything." He looks at the boys with a glare. "What did you dogs do?"

"We didn't do anything." Logan replies. "She just passed out."

A guilty looks forms on Kendall's face. "I think we tired her out. She tried to make us pay attention and get us to calm down, but we didn't exactly make it easy for her." He admitted, scratching the back of his neck. He was feeling guilty for making Andi so tired, not realizing the amount of stress he was causing her. He looked over at Andi and sighed.

"Dancing is hard!" Carlos complained, raising his arms dramatically.

"What happened to Mr. X?" Kelly asked, realizing he wasn't in the room.

"Well, first he banged his head into the wall a few times." Logan started.

Carlos continues, "Then we got really dizzy."

James nods. "Then he spoke a lot of bad words that started with 'x'." He said as he did the x motion with his arms.

Kendall shrugs. "Then he xquit."

Kelly eyes widens, dropping her notebook after seeing Gustavo was going to yell. She was quick to grab some headphones that were on top of the radio nearby her and puts them on. Gustavo let's out a yell that echo throughout the whole studio which wakes up Andi.

She jumps up awake, confused at what was going on. "I'm awake! I'm awake!" She exclaims, looking around the room with furrowed eyebrows. She notices the boys were still on the ground and Gustavo and Kelly were standing over them, Gustavo yelling. "What'd I miss?"

"Part two of my great boot camp, the great look." Gustavo walked to the front of the table with the hood of his jacket on as he sits in his chair while he looks at the boys who were sitting at the other end of the table. Andi sat by her mom at the other end of the table across from the boys. "When do we sing?" James asked.

In response, Gustavo yells at him, "When I tell you to sing!" Andi shared an annoyed look with her mom besides her and Kelly shook her head. Both of them were sick of Gustavo's yelling.

"Guys, we have some exciting looks that will literally transform you." The brunette-haired marketing man said.

Kendall sets the booklet him and the boys were given on the table. "Can't we just be ourselves?"

The marketing team and Gustavo laugh. "No." The marketing team replied in a serious tone.

Andi looks over at the screen that was besides Kelly and Gustavo. "Boys, we researched and electroshocked focus groups to determine the exact look and name that will sell millions of records." The blonde-haired women said.

"Then we turn you over to the stylists…" The brunette-haired man on the marketing team starts to say just as the stylists show up behind the boys. "To change all of your clothes and possibly shave your heads."

James shrieked, putting his hands on his hair while Gustavo nods. James looked over at Andi with worry and she shook her head as if that was her way of saying 'don't believe any of that'.

"Now, Griffin wants a tasty dish on Friday. That's why we're giving him…" The blonde-haired girl pointed to the stylists who start working on the boys.

Minutes later they are in the studio and have the boys dressed up in ridiculous outfits. "Boyliscious." The marketing team spoke at the same time. The only ones out of the group that seemed to be liking the look was James.

"The beach, girls, the shirtless overalls."

Kendall glares at James who shrugs his shoulders and smiles. "I think we look good."

Andi shakes her head, a look of disgust on her face. "No. You boys look awful."

Everyone looks at her and she shrugs. "What? I'm just saying the truth." She replied. She couldn't lie and say the boys looked good. They looked horrible. She didn't think anyone would wear those outfits willingly. They looked so out of place. The outfits didn't fit them.

"Not bad, uh, but I need options. What else you got?" Gustavo asked his team.

"Change it." The marketing team told the stylists. The stylists quickly run over to the boys.

Next the boys are wearing red, white and blue outfits. "Red, white & boy."

"This look does great with war veterans who own buicks." The brunette-haired man on the marketing team said.

James points at them with a grin on his face. "We look good."

Kendall and Andi lock eyes and he shakes his head with an upset look on his face. She sends him a small smile to try to cheer him up. It did work because his heart skipped a beat at seeing her smile and he smiles slightly. But then he looks down at his outfit, reminding himself of how bad it was and looks back at James with an annoyed look. "We look like Uncle Sam threw up on us."

"You, silent." Gustavo pointed at him.

Andi crosses her arms. "He isn't wrong."

Gustavo points at her. "You, also silent." Andi rolls her eyes at him, but stays silent. He points at the marketing team. "You, more options."

The marketing team nods and looks at the stylists. "Change them."

Andi's eyes widens at the next look they were trying. She wasn't expecting this. Now the boys were all wearing black clothing, black makeup, leather pants and leather jackets. "I give you danger boy." The marketing team announced.

Andi immediately shakes her head and looks over at Gustavo with disgust. "Uh-uh. This should be off the table. Make it off the table."

"I thought I told you to be silent." He said to her, looking at her with narrowed eyes.

She shrugs. "You did, but you should know by now I only listen when I want to." She replied, leaning back in her seat and crossing her arms.

Gustavo huffs, turning back to his team. As Andi looks at each of them she could easily tell they were uncomfortable with the outfit, besides James. "Danger boy is danger. Parents will forbid their kids to buy the dangerous music." The blonde-haired woman on the marketing team said.

"And that's exactly why they will." The marketing team then fist bumped.

"I, uh, can't feel my legs." Logan admitted, his voice straining since he was in pain. He glanced down at his legs nervously.

"That's because the pants are dangerously tight." The blonde-haired woman on the marketing team remarked.

"I hate it." Gustavo commented. Andi let out sigh of relief. She was glad that the boys wouldn't have to wear those awful outfits.

The marketing team nods. "So do we."

"I need five new looks for tomorrow. All right, now follow me to hear your first hit single that's gonna put me back on top. Move out." Gustavo said while he and his team start to leave the room.

Andi looks over her shoulder at the boys, noticing they were struggling to move. She winced as they fell.

"I think we look good." James smiled.

"You don't look good in those outfits, James." Andi shook her head, having enough of him saying that every time they got a new outfit that looked awful.

"Okay, part three of the great pop group boot campalooza, the great song." Gustavo announced. He, Kelly and Andi stood in front of the boys who were now back in their normal clothes.

Kelly shows them the lyrics she had in her hands as Gustavo walks to the piano. "It's called 'Girl Time'." She walked over the boys, handing hem each a piece of paper.

"It's a song about no matter what time of day it is," Gustavo tells the boys and then sings, "Don't you know it's girl time?" as Kelly pointed at them.

Andi looks at the boys, seeing that again James was the only one happy about this. Gustavo gets up from the piano and fake yawns while Kelly leans against the piano. "I just woke up. What time is it? It's girl time."

Gustavo points to his watch. "Excuse me sir. Do you know what time it is?" He points back at the boys. "Yeah, it's girl time."

Logan tilts his head to the side. "What if you have a sinus infection? Isn't that doctor time?"

Gustavo shakes his head. "No. No, no, it's still girl time."

Logan nods, looking like he wanted to correct him but he doesn't. He presses his lips together in a tight line. "Mm, right."

Kendall shows the paper to him,. "Do any of your songs not have the word 'girl' in them?" He looked over at Andi and Kelly for answer. Andi shook her head.

"Heh. Well, let's find out Mr. question everything I do." Gustavo said and points at the wall. "Let's take a look at my wall of platinum records! Let's see." He walked between the boys, pushing them aside to get to the wall and starts listing off the names of his records.

After listing his songs, all of them having girl in the title besides one that he forgot he had. Gustavo then walks up to stand in front of Kendall. "Any other questions, dog?" He challenged and pat the side of Kendall's face.

There was a moment of silence before Kendall smirks as he asks, "Are any of those songs from this girlennium?"

Andi sighs when she noticed Gustavo looks like he's about to explode. "Here we go." She mumbled, noticing Carlos even put his helmet on and Kelly quickly put the earphones she had on earlier back on.

"Okay, your heart rate is back to normal, and your blood pressure is one hundred and twenty over eighty." Kelly looks over at Gustavo. "You can produce now."

Gustavo quickly takes the stickers off and looks at the boys who were in the recording booth. Kelly stops Gustavo before he presses the button to where the boys can hear him. "Ah! But remember, these boys haven't had a break all day. I think they're gettin' a little punchy."

Andi nods. "And a little crazy." She agreed. The boys have had a very long day. A very long and stressful day. They deserved a break.

"I don't care." Gustavo told her and Kelly and pressed the button.

"Okay, and now it's time for the final phase of Gustavo Rocque's most awesomest pop group boot camp. The singing!" Gustavo yelled the last part loudly. Andi winced as the boys took their headphones off because of the feedback from the microphone was so loud.

"What is this place?" Kendall questioned, looking around the sound booth with confusion.

Andi presses the button as she speaks into the microphone. "It's a sound booth. It just isolates the vocals in case we need to edit or enhance them later." She explained.

Carlos picks up a pillow that was on the floor. "Why are there pillows on the floor?"

James raises an eyebrow. "Do you want us to nap? 'Cause we will."

Andi chuckles and glanced over at Kelly, who speaks into the microphone this time, pressing the button as she spoke. "They just absorb any extra echo or treble, just like those big foam mic covers." Kelly explains. "I put some fruit waters in there in case your mouths get dry, okay?"

Andi's mom let go of the button as Andi shakes her head. "Yeah, that's probably a bad idea."

Kelly looks at her with furrowed eyebrows and tilts her head to the side. "Why do you say that?"

Sighing, Andi crosses her arms while she looks back at the sound booth. "Just watch." She figured that her mom should see for herself why putting food and drinks in the booth was a bad idea. Her mom would find out soon enough.

James picks up one of the fruit waters and gives Kelly a thumbs up after he took a sip of it. He then put it back down on the table.

Gustavo presses the button. "Okay, great. And…" His voice trailed off when Kendall hit Carlos with the microphone. Andi sighed heavily, having a feeling that something like this was going to happen.

"Funny. Do it again." Carlos glared at him and Kendall hit him again.

Kendall chuckles. "Not so tough without your helmet, are you?"

Andi watches with an annoyed look when Carlos grabs one of the fruit waters and goes to spray Kendall with it. Kendall stepped back making the water hit Logan instead.

Andi looks over at Kelly who looks back at her with a regretful look. Andi nods. "That's why it was a bad idea to put them in there." She told her, shaking her head as she continued to watch the boys.

Logan glares at Carlos and takes his headphones off angrily. "Knock it off!"

Carlos doesn't listen and sprayed him with the fruit water again making Logan more annoyed. Logan then grabbed a fruit water and went to spray it on Carlos, but he moved out of the way and it ends up hitting James.

"You just ruined my lucky white vneck!" James scolded, grabbing two fruit waters and sprayed the boys with them.

Kelly nods with a grimaced expression on her face. "Maybe the fruit water was a bad idea."

Andi outstretches her arms dramatically. "That's exactly what I told you!" She said, pointing at her.

Gustavo looks at Andi and Kelly. "Please get them to stop."

Kelly presses the button. "Guys. Guys!" She tried to get their attention but it was no use.

Andi looks at the sound booth seeing the boys now were hitting one another with pillows. "We lost them."

"Pillows were a bad idea, too." Kelly winced.

Andi nods in agreement. "Yep."

Gustavo stands up and groans. "I told you they were tired." Kelly shrugged her shoulders.

"Just have the boys meet me in the studio when they're finished." Gustavo said and left the room.

Andi looks back at the sound booth and all she could see were feathers. She jumps whenever Carlos is suddenly thrown against the window.

She looks over at Kelly with raised eyebrows. "How are they going to be a band in three days?"

Kelly sighs. "I have absolutely no idea."

"You can't sing." Gustavo stated to Carlos who looks at the floor.

Gustavo moved to Logan and his team that was standing behind him moved with him as well, including Andi.

"You can't sing or dance."

"I can backflip." Logan spoke. Andi looked at him curiously while tilting her head to the side. Now she wanted to see him backflip. She had no idea he could do that and she thought it was pretty cool if he could do that.

Gustavo glares at him. "Stop it."

Logan nods. "Okay."

"Forever." Gustavo told him and Logan hummed in response as he looked at the floor. Andi frowned at the look of defeat on his face. She hated how hard Gustavo was on the boys. They weren't doing that bad. Sure they could do better, but they weren't terrible. At least, Andi didn't think so.

Gustavo moves over to James. He doesn't say anything as James smiles and just moves on to Kendall.

"And worst of all, you don't even seem to want this!" Gustavo yelled at Kendall and all Kendall did was cough up some feathers.

"What about me? I can sing, dance, and I want this." James said in a desperate tone.

Gustavo points at him. "You remind me a lot of Matthew McConaughey."

James smiles. "Awesome."

"I can't stand Matthew McConaughey!" Gustavo shouts at him and James' face fell, his shoulders dropping in defeat. Andi was so close to snapping at Gustavo for being so mean. He didn't have to be that harsh. She understood the boys weren't perfect. No one was perfect, but Gustavo wasn't even giving these boys a chance. "This group can't sing, can't dance." Gustavo continued to speak.

Andi rolls her eyes, knowing he was wrong. If he would just give them a chance he would be surprised. "Actually, they can. You just don't give them a chance." After she said that everyone, including the boys, gasped. Everyone had been surprised she spoke back to Gustavo like that. It wasn't the first time. She had done it many times before and every time Gustavo had been furious. But she didn't care. She wasn't going to stand there and let him talk to the boys like that. It wasn't fair. The boys were trying and he just kept making fun of them and making them feel like they weren't good enough. "Gustavo, they can do it. We just have to keep working and-" Andi tried to explain but Gustavo cut her off.

"I don't pay you to talk…" Gustavo starts and Andi was about to open her mouth to say something else, but he continues so she closes her mouth and crosses her arms. "I pay you to do what I tell you. So why can't you just shut it?"

"Why can't you just give these boys a chance?" Andi retorts, her voice firm. "They're putting in the effort, and they deserve more than just criticism. You might not see it, but they have potential, Gustavo."

Gustavo's expression hardens, his gaze flickering between Andi and the boys. "Potential doesn't cut it in this industry, Andi. They need to be able to deliver results, and so far, they're falling short."

Andi shakes her head, refusing to back down. "They can deliver if given the chance. But constantly tearing them down isn't helping anyone. Can't you see that?"

Gustavo's lip twitches, his eyes narrowing as he stares Andi down. "Enough," he growls. "I don't have time for this. So unless you have anything productive to add, keep your mouth shut and let me do my job."

Andi clenches her jaw, biting the inside of her cheek to hold back a sharp retort. She can feel the eyes of the boys on her, but she doesn't meet their gaze, instead keeping her focus on Gustavo. She knows she should drop the subject, but the anger and frustration building within her refuses to let her back down. "What job is that, exactly?" she says, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Because from where I'm standing, it looks like you're just wasting your time and theirs by not giving them a fair shot."

Gustavo looks surprised that she was still standing up to him. Usually, she would give in and do what he told her to. But she was tired of him acting like he was better than everyone else and treating people like they were nothing. Andi couldn't stand watching him tear the boys down when she knew they were capable of more. He had a talent for bringing people down, and she wasn't going to let him get away with it anymore. "They're not getting a fair shot, because they're not good enough." Gustavo hisses. He then turns to face the boys with a glare. "This group can't sing, can't dance. You don't have a song or a look, and you're covered in feathers!" Gustavo shouted angrily as Carlos picked a feather off of his face.

"And I would rather quit right now than commit pop suicide on Friday in front of the Record Company. However, there is one song I would love to play for you." Gustavo walked over to the piano and Andi sighed heavily, knowing that this was going to be bad. She was doing her best to keep her cool. She was angry and annoyed with how Gustavo was treating the boys, but she knew lashing out wouldn't help. Her standing up to him wasn't exactly helping either, but she couldn't stand by and watch him tear them down anymore. Gustavo then starts playing the piano. "Ooh, now that I'm through bangin' my head, this band of dogs is officially dead." He sang, yelling the word 'dead' and continued to play the piano for awhile.
