Salutations, my dear readers :)

I have one favor to ask of you all... PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! *hides behind table and waves little white flag* I'm really really sorry about not updating for what, 2-3 weeks? I've had barely any inspiration for writing, and my muse ran off for vacation while I attended school... Grades are first priority, so I had to take a break for a while anyways... But since Halloween is TOMORROW, I'm allowed to take some time to write :D I know, I'm a butt head, but guess what? I'm back, and I'm finishing this story once and for all!

And now, my beautiful readers, the last chapter, of Thunder and Lightning. :D

Disclaimer: I don't own Big Time Rush. Stop mocking me!

Thunder ricocheted through the night sky, the sound slicing through the dark and murky storm clouds. Mere seconds later, the rain caught up, dousing the cool roads in a thick sheet of water. You could hear the crickets chirping in the thin blades of drooping grass, making their music dominent over the soft rumbles that were emmiting from above. The moon, instead of shining it's radiant light, cowered behind the thick blackness of the clouds, every once in a while peaking out to see if the thunder and rain were gone.

But they weren't.

Lightning finally scurried in, flashing quickly to calm the infuriated thunder down. Slowly, they began once again to balance eachother out, dancing through the night. Thunder led, while Lightning cautiously followed. The rain was constantly changing in tempo, pelting down faster before calming into a serene tapping.

It was magnifecent.

Logan sighed and leaned his forehead against the window, welcoming the cold that bit at his skin. He actually found it quite soothing as it numbed his headache.

It had been a week since they were all in the hospital. They let him and James out after two days, then Carlos after four, and finally Kendall after a week. James was sitting on the couch at the moment playing an intense video game (or so he thought), his leg on the table after having been put in a hard cast. Of course, he already had almost everybody's signature on his cast who was staying at the Palmwoods. The only person who refused to sign was Katie, not wanting to take the chance of someone being able to copy her signature and use it to buy foreign weapons- or something along those lines. Logan had zoned out after a couple seconds of her talking, from his head pounding too much.

He was currently on stong pain medications, to keep the oncoming headaches at bay. Due to the head trauma and the blood loss, it left him pretty beat up in his brain, so the Doctor insisted that he just get a lot of sleep and plenty of meds. Because of the pain killers, he always felt like he was in a mellow mood, kind of a go-with-the-flow feeling. He hoped he could get off of this stuff soon.

Carlos sat at the top of the swirly slide, dropping the toy trains down (the nurses had let him take them with him, since he was the only one who actually ever played with them), and then sliding down after them. Obviously, he couldn't do his usual sliding down on the stomach move, because of his ribs. So for now, he put up with sliding the normal way that every other kid does it. On his backside. He too was on some meds for the soreness in his rib area.

The one person who was worst off would probably be Kendall. Don't get me wrong, he's doing great, but the restrictions and amounts of different medications that he has to take is beyond what his other friends have. Last time Logan counted, there were four different perscriptions that Kendall was using. One for the infection, one to help with the gash in his side... It got a little confusing after a while. Also, Kendall was forced to sit in a wheel chair, which was torture... for his friends.

Kendall is one of those people who doesn't like to stop moving, which is why he slipped into the leader role so well. And because of the wheel chair, the guy's have heard non-stop complaining about wanting to get up, not needing help, and numerous threats of running over toes. As much as Kendall hated it though, he knew it was necessary. The first day he was in it, he had attempted to get up as to prove himself... It ended up with him on the floor, and all of the family trying to lift him without putting strain on his side. Not very fun for either party.

But honestly, they couldn't wait till Kendall was able to walk on his own.

Right now, he was sitting next to James with the other controller, shouting at the TV screen as though it was going to change the game. No such luck.

Logan let out a small chuckle and leaned forward, lifting himself off of the seat. Slowly, he walked over to the couch and plopped down between Kendall and James.

It was nice to be home again.

Carlos slid down the yellow slide and limped over to where they were all sitting. He had a small frown on his face. Quietly, he sat down in front of the TV and unplugged the controllers. Big mistake. "CARLOS! WHAT THE HECK!" "Carlos, why did you do that! I was about to win!" Kendall and James shouted at the same time, their faces bright red with annoyence. When they played a video game, they really got into it.

"I'm bored..." Carlos groaned and crossed his arms over his chest. Logan sighed and shook his head.

"Why don't you go read a book or something?" he suggested. But Carlos just laughed and replied with a quick "no".

He put his index finger to his chin as he mimicked the Thinking Man statue. Suddenly, Carlos's eyes widened with excitement, as he flew up from where he was sitting.

"I HAVE AN IDEA!"

"What?" His three friends replied in unison. All wanting to go back to what they were doing.

"Well, I was thinking, since it's so cool outside right now, we could go for a drive in that new car that the record studio-"

"NO!"

"Fine, no need to be so over dramatic!" Carlos pouted and plugged the controllers back in. He pulled a corndog from his sweatshirt pocket (he definitley got some wierd stares for that one) and walked back to Swirly, only to have a complete change in mood and start playing with his toys again.

The thunderstorm continued to rage outside.

Once again, Logan thought to himself as he stared incrediously at his stange friend, it's nice to be back home.

And that, folks, is the official end of Thunder and Lightning. I know the ending is terribly cheesy, but I couldn't think straight! It's hard when you have to end a story. There are so many ways that you can do it, but I decided that I would connect it to the beginning and bring the thunder and lightning back.

I really hope you guys enjoyed this story, and I really really want to thank all of you for sticking with me till the end :D You guy's have definitley made my first story the best :)

I LOVE YOU ALL! *sends out virtual hugs to everyone who has ever reviewed* Now go on, my dear people, and read! REEEAAADDD! Muahahaha!
