Author's Notes: Anyone reading this knows that Nickelodeon owns the rights to Big Time Rush, right? I just like to play chess with the boys, moving them around as I see fit.

So one night I was at the mall and heard a song that sounded like something out of a 50's diner. I suddenly had a vision of Kendall and James as rival gang leaders and it wouldn't leave me alone. The final product is quite a bit different than my original vision, but it was inspired by both Grease and Back to the Future, two fabulous movies that take me back to my childhood because I have such great memories of watching them with friends and family. If you haven't seen them, you really should.

Dedication on this one goes to PromiseMeTheStars because she is such a cheerleader and kept pushing me to continue it after I'd decided to give up on it. She's still bugging me with "Did you write anymore of your story? :D" Aranelle did the same thing, and I love them both for encouraging me when I thought this story had no place to go. Turns out it had two different places to go, but at least everyone will end up happy. I think. Because they always do in my world.

Gleechild gave me the push to start this in the first place, and she's already helped me with two scenes in this story just from her reviews alone. KEEP REVIEWING ME, SHARON. YOU'RE WRITING THIS WITH ME. Aranelle made a pact with me—we agreed that if she'd write her Kendall/James gangster fic, I'd write this one. She made good on her end of the bargain, so I had to follow through. AND YOU SHOULD ALL GO READ HER FIC BECAUSE I LOVE IT AND I LOVE HER AND IT'S JUST SO GOOD IT MADE ME CRY. It's titled "Call Me a Sinner, Call Me a Saint."

On this chapter especially, PromiseMeTheStars, Aranelle, kathrynew30, and Gleechild all helped me with their input and feedback. Thank you guys, so very much.

This is it. Last chapter. I didn't intend for some of these things to happen, but as I mentioned in an earlier chapter, I don't always win arguments with my characters. In this case, Kendall and Jamie insisted on certain things happening and I had to compromise with them. So it got a little out of control toward the end but...what can I say? Let James be James.

IMPORTANT: I had to differentiate between the two Jameses, so I used Kendall's nickname. For most of this chapter, James=present/BTR James, and Jamie=past/50's James. I hope it's not too confusing, this is my first time writing something like this. And it will probably be my last. Too many little Diamonds running around, causing trouble.

Again, thank you to everyone who has read this whole thing and been so sweet in reviewing. It's because of you guys that I keep writing when I think I'm not going to anymore. I LOVE YOU ALL.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Logan asks for the twentieth time in ten minutes.

"Logan. I'm sure. Come on, let's do it before it gets any later."

"But it's dangerous. We might not make it."

"You said you figured out the problem and fixed it. Rebuilt the whole thing and it should work fine, right?" James leans down to place a peck on Logan's lips. "I trust you. It's gonna be fine."

"What if you die? I can't live with that, knowing I killed you."

"Then we'll just have to die together," James answers. "I'm certainly not living without you."

Logan takes a deep breath and lets it out. "You got everything?"

"I got what matters. My lucky comb, which I will give to myself when I show him how to style his hair."

Logan rolls his eyes. "You two are ridiculous. I'm almost afraid to put you in the same room."

James shrugs. "I have to admit, I like the jacket and boots."

Logan grins. "I happen to like them, too. You look hot, dude."

"Hey, hey, hey. No lusting after your ex. You got the real thing now."

James often teases Logan about the other James, though when Logan first broke down and told him the truth about going into the past, it was tough on him to think about Logan with someone else-even someone who was basically a representation of him, and even though he and Logan weren't officially together at the time. When James continued to be bothered by the idea (made worse by the fact that Logan would wake up from dreams about the other James in tears), Logan finally explained it to him like this: "Imagine if it was you meeting another me. Before we got together. That me was throwing himself at you, offering you everything you've ever wanted with this me, and you didn't know if you'd ever see me again. Now tell me how you could resist that."

James could actually see the point then, but wondered why Logan would wake up crying. "You miss him, admit it."

"It's not so much that I miss him," Logan had answered. "It's that I worry about him. I left him with Kendall and was sure everything would be fine, but the more I watch you and Kendall together, the more I realize how easily they could push each other away by acting like idiots."

"Kendall and I don't fight all that much anymore."

"Not as bad, but you two argue over anything and everything. Without me there, I'm afraid they're gonna devolve into the children they were before I showed up."

"You can't babysit them from here, Logan. You have to just let them go. Either that or build a new time machine to check up on them."

It had been a joke, but soon enough Logan went to work doing just that. Two months later he had it ready, but James had insisted on going along this time. "No way in hell I'm letting him get his claws in you" was his argument.

"You do realize you're talking about yourself," Logan had pointed out.

"Why do you think I don't trust him? I know me better than anybody, and I can be sneaky when I want something."

"Maybe he just wants Kendall now."

"Logan, I know me. One taste of you and nobody else will ever do."

Remembering that conversation now, Logan laughs and shakes his head. "Yes, now I have the real thing. And it's all I want, okay?"

"It better be," James answers, pulling Logan in for another kiss. "I can't believe I went for Kendall. What's wrong with me?"

"Nothing's wrong with you, Kendall's a great guy. It was different for them. I wasn't around and Carlos came along way later. All they had was each other."

"Still. I'd rather be alone than with Kendall."

"I'm actually very happy to hear that. Now are you ready?"

James looks around the basement one last time. "I said my goodbyes to everyone just in case. You know, Carlos, Kendall, Katie."

"Me, too. Katie was pissed that I wouldn't bring her along, but I can't take the chance."

"Yeah, Mama K wouldn't be too pleased if we lost her somewhere in the 50's. Oh my God, can you imagine two Katies? I think we'd all have to run for cover."

"Can't be nearly as bad as two Jameses," Logan teases. "There aren't enough hair products in the universe to satisfy you two."

James smacks Logan lightly. "You know you love us," he smirks.

"Yeah, I guess I do." One glance around before Logan steps into the time machine, pulling James in after him. James closes the door and bites his lip, suddenly nervous.

"You don't have to do this," Logan says softly.

"I'm not letting you go alone. I meant what I said; if you die, I'm going with you. No way am I living without you, Logan." There is also the fact that James is terrified Logan won't want to come back, that he'll fall in love with that other James and decide to stay. He needs to be there so Logan won't forget about him.

"Don't be melodramatic. If I die, you'll survive."

"Not happily, though. I would never be the same again."

Logan hugs James tight. "Me neither. I love you, and if something goes wrong today, I want you to know that."

"I do know." Ever since Logan returned from his jaunt to the past, he never hesitates to express his feelings, which works well because James needs reassurance often. He leans down for another kiss. "I love you, too."

With a smile Logan turns his attention to the console and programs a date six months from the time he left. "I hope I get this right. Last time I was about a year early. But I came back here at the time I meant to, so maybe I'll get lucky."

"Why wait six months? Wouldn't it make more sense to go back at the time you left?"

"I want to give Kendall and James enough time to screw it up if they're going to. If they're still good after six months, I think they'll be fine."

"Are we gonna have to do this for the rest of our lives? Go back whenever you worry about them not making it?"

"You really don't have to go, James."

"Dude, of course I'm going, I didn't mean it like that. But you can't babysit them; either they make it or they don't. And you're not staying there, we need you here for the band. Or how about we need you here just because? You're part of us and we're not giving you up."

"Hey, whoa. Calm down, James, I'm not planning to stay. Or go back a lot. But they all wanted to know I made it safely, that I didn't die. They helped me get here and they deserve to know it worked."

"Okay, I get that but...I don't want to stay long. Just say hi and make sure they're fine and we come back, right?" James pleads.

"You're afraid I'll want to stay with him. That I'll choose him over you."

James looks away, unable to meet Logan's gaze. The fear is a solid thing in his chest and he hates it, hates being vulnerable, but this is Logan; he can't lose Logan again, not after two near-misses.

"I chose you," Logan says quietly, turning James' face forward. "I could have stayed there and been with him. I'm pretty sure he would've given us a chance, even with Kendall there. Because you and me...we have something special. No matter when we exist. We're drawn to each other. I knew that, knew I could win him if I tried, but I didn't want to try. All I wanted was you. I chose you, James."

James crushes Logan to his chest, eyes closing and heart beating hard.

"And I'd do it again. Every time. Okay?"

"Okay." James kisses Logan's hair. "I'm sorry, just can't lose you."

"You won't. Not by my choice, anyway."

James nods, stepping back and taking a deep breath. "Let's do this."

"I really hope it doesn't cause any problems. You being there, I mean."

"What sort of problems?"

"I'm dead in that time. What happens if there are two Jameses and...it might not be pretty. You just never know."

"Logan, have you learned nothing in the year we've been together? I'm always pretty. In any time."

Logan chuckles. "Silly me. You ready to meet yourself?"

"You ready for us to double your pleasure?"

Logan's eyes widen as the vision of that takes hold. "Holy fucking sh-"

With a grin James kisses Logan, cutting off his words as he throws the switch.

Logan steps back after ringing the doorbell. He has no idea what the date is or even if Mrs. Knight will have met him yet, but he has a cover story in place just in case. He senses eyes on him and glances over to see James peeking around the wall. "Get back!" he hisses, and James disappears after grinning.

The door swings open and Mrs. Knight's face splits into a wide grin. "Logan! Oh my goodness, it's so good to see you!" She sweeps him up into a hug and he hugs her back, relief pouring through him. At least they know who he is. "How are you? Where have you been? Come in, are you staying long? Are you alone?"

After chuckling at all the questions, Logan follows Mrs. Knight into the living room, hoping James sticks with the plan and goes to wait for him at Kendall's bedroom window. He didn't see Kendall's James' car here, so it's probably safe to assume James isn't anywhere around, but he wants to take no chances.

"Are you staying for dinner? There's plenty to go around."

"Mrs. Knight, you are really too sweet. I'm not staying too long, just came by to say hi. I felt bad leaving without even thanking you for everything before. If you hadn't taken me in, I don't know where I might've ended up."

"I told you, you're welcome here anytime. So Kendall says you found some family back in Minnesota after all?"

"Yeah, I did." It sucks that they couldn't get together first to corroborate stories. The less he volunteers, the better.

"And they've been good to you?"

"They have. Is Kendall at school?"

"Yes, I was about to leave to pick up Katie and get a few things at the store for dinner. Would you like to come?"

"Actually, would it be okay if I waited here for Kendall? I can't stay overnight and I was hoping to spend a little time with him before I have to leave again."

"Of course. Help yourself to anything in the house, and we'll be back in about an hour. Kendall doesn't have practice today, so he should be home pretty soon."

"And uh...James?"

Mrs. Knight smiles as she picks up her purse. "Yes, James will most likely be here, too. And Carlos. Did you meet Carlos while you were here?"

"I did," Logan grins, happy to hear they're all still friends. "Can't wait to see them again."

"Are you sure you can't stay longer? Kendall and Katie would love to have you."

"I wish I could, but thanks." On impulse Logan reaches out to hug her, and she pats his back before moving toward the door.

"Tacos for dinner, Logan. You should think about staying."

"Tacos? You make tacos?"

"Sure I do. Carlos taught me."

With a grin, Mrs. Knight waves and heads out, and Logan can't stop smiling himself. "I need a calendar."

Once Mrs. Knight pulls away, Logan heads into Kendall's bedroom to let James in.

"So she remembered you? That's a good thing, right?"

"Damn good thing. I would've hated to come all this way and have them not even know me yet." Logan closes the window after James crawls in. "Calendar. Help me find a calendar."

James looks around in awe. "Holy shit. Look at all these trophies."

"Yeah, he's a total jock. You're not surprised, are you?"

"No, but...it isn't just hockey, it's everything. Track and field? Really, Kendall?" James shakes his head.

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with track and field. They don't have hockey here yet."

"That's lame. No wonder he goes out for stupid sports."

Logan rolls his eyes, finally spying a calendar on the wall. "If he keeps up with this, today is Friday, March 13, 1959. Almost six months to the day. Which means we got here the day I wanted to. Amazing. It actually worked."

"Told you, I had no doubt." James picks through the clothes hanging in Kendall's closet with a grimace. "Seriously, how did they live in this time? These clothes are just gross."

"I hear him," Logan interrupts, feet carrying him to the living room, where Kendall is just closing the door behind him. He spins around and jumps, heart going to his chest.

"Logan! Jesus, you scared me!"

"You should watch what you say, Kendall. Don't want to go to Hell."

"Yeah, well, you kind of rubbed off on-" Then it hits him and his mouth gapes open. "Logan! You're here!" Kendall lifts him up and swings him around, hugging him tight. "You made it! I mean, right? You made it and now you're back?"

"Yes, I made it. How are you?" Logan again can't stop smiling, it's just so good to see Kendall.

"I'm great! Wow, everyone's gonna be so happy to see you, Jamie's gonna-" Kendall frowns, eyes settling on something over Logan's shoulder. "I thought we were gonna meet at the drugstore later."

Logan spins around to see James leaning against the doorframe, arms crossed over his chest as he studies Kendall with a smirk.

"What's wrong with your hair?" Kendall asks, the frown deepening.

"My hair? You have the nerve to question my hair? What is that slicked-down crap, Kendall?"

"James," Logan starts.

"And why are you here with him? I thought you and Carlos left after me." Kendall struts over to James and drags him closer.

Logan watches it happen, watches that temptation to mess with Kendall's head pass through James' brain. "James," he warns again.

"So what if I'm here with Logan? You jealous, Knight?"

"Jesus Christ," Logan mutters. "Every damn time."

"You know I am," Kendall growls in a low voice before pulling him in by the hair and kissing him.

Logan stands there stunned before calling out, "Okay, that's as far as that's gonna go." He rushes over to drag Kendall off of James.

"Look, just because you're back it doesn't mean you can have him now, Logan! Took me forever to get him back and-"

"Kendall, calm down. You don't understand."

"I understand plenty. You missed him so you had to come back, right? Well he's mine now, you went back for your Jason and if that didn't work out, I'm sorry but-"

"Jason?" James interrupts. "Who the hell is Jason?"

"His boyfriend! The one he left you for, remember?"

"What the hell, Logan? There's some guy named Jason I don't know about?"

"Jesus fucking Christ, you guys, what is it about you? I can't even put you two in the same room together without wanting to pull my hair out! Doesn't matter what year it is or which version of you I'm dealing with, you two just make me want to bash my head into a wall!"

"Which version? Wait, you mean...this is Jason?"

"No, I'm James. But I'm from Logan's time, I'm the one he came back for. Unless there's some guy named Jason I don't know about, who's going to get his ass kicked once we get back home."

"There is no Jason! There's just James and James and Kendall and Kendall and Carlos and Carlos and one me. Only one me. And I could use another one of me to smack the two of you around because you exhaust me!"

Kendall ignores Logan's outburst, intent on studying James. "Wow," he breathes. "He really does look exactly like my James. Except for the bad hair."

"Oh, are we gonna stand here and trade insults about hair? Because I can do that, and don't even get me started on track and field."

"Track and field? What's wrong with track and field?"

Logan throws his hands up. "That's it. I know what I need to know. James, come on, we're going home."

"What? No!"

"Yeah, you just got here, Logan. Carlos and Katie will want to see you."

Logan lifts an eyebrow. "And James, too? You gonna let me see him, Kendall?"

"Of course I am. But I'm not leaving you two alone for one second."

James frowns. "It won't matter, he's got me now. I'm all he needs."

"That may be true," Kendall answers, "but you haven't seen Jamie. He's gorgeous. One look at him and anybody would want him."

James blinks in surprise. "Kendall, that is so sweet. Thank you."

"What? I wasn't talking about you, asshole."

"But you were. Even you thought I was him. So if he's gorgeous, that means I am, too."

"Enough," Logan begs. "Please. You guys are making my head hurt. I just want to see them, say hi and let everyone know I made it back home."

"So why'd you bring him?" Kendall asks, nodding toward James.

"Because I love him. And he begged to come."

"Just had to meet the famous Kendall, huh?" Kendall smirks at James.

"Please, I get enough of you back home."

"There's...another me, too? How is that possible?"

"How is any of this possible?" Logan asks. "I don't understand it, but there's two of all of you. Not me, though, because I died as a kid when I was here."

"The Mitchell boy? That was you?"

Logan nods. "Can we go already? It's getting late." He takes James' hand in his and holds tight, not wanting James anywhere near Kendall.

"Fine. But you'd better behave yourself around my boyfriend," Kendall warns.

"And you'd better behave yourself around mine."

"Deal."

"Can I make out with myself?" James asks. "I've always thought that would be cool."

"No!" the other two yell, leading him out of the house.

"You guys are no fun," James pouts as he follows.

XXXXX

"Wait, you can't go in," Logan says to James as they approach the drugstore.

"Why not?"

"Because he's in there. See? There's his car."

"Sweet ride," James comments, impressed.

"You can wait in it if you want," Kendall offers.

"We'll get Carlos and James and maybe go somewhere to talk?" Logan suggests, looking at Kendall.

"Yeah, that's fine."

"Then Logan should wait with me. If they're coming right out, I mean."

"James, relax. I love you. I don't want him. I want you."

"Besides," Kendall adds, "I'm not letting him have my guy even if he changes his mind."

"Nobody's changing any minds. We're all happy where we are. Though I'm still worried about you two meeting each other," Logan frowns, staring at James.

"Dude, I'm not really gonna make out with him. Unless he-"

"Stop!" Kendall interrupts.

"No, it's not that, James, it's just that we don't know what could happen. Remember what Hermione said, bad things have happened to people who see themselves in the past. Or future. Or whatever. One of you could end up outside of time, like Squidward did."

James looks at Logan in disbelief. "You're worried about something that happened in a book? And a cartoon? That's more Carlos' style. Since when are you ridiculous?"

"I am so lost," Kendall mumbles.

"I'm just saying, it could be bad. I don't want to lose either of you."

"It'll be fine," James replies, shoving Kendall toward the store. "Now go get the boys, we'll wait in the car."

After Kendall enters the store, Logan peeks into the window. He smiles when he sees Jamie scoot over immediately to make room for Kendall in the booth, notes the way they're sitting as close as they dare in public.

"He's breathtaking," James whispers next to him, eyes on his counterpart. "Is that what I look like in action? No wonder you can't keep your hands off me."

Logan chuckles and pulls James away. "Come on, handsome. Let's wait in the car." They slip into the backseat. "Now when he comes out, you'll have to hide until we get somewhere that's away from...people. We don't need anyone seeing two Jameses."

"I'll just lay across you and Carlos. He can sit up front with the jerk."

"Kendall is not a jerk, James. You like him fine in our time, why not here?"

"He's so full of himself. Did you see the way he attacked me? Is that how he treats me in this time? And I like it?"

"Yeah, what was that? I know why he kissed you, why did you egg him on? How long would you have kissed him had I not stopped you?"

James shrugs. "He's not a bad kisser, I'll say that."

"Excuse me?"

"I'm not gonna lie."

"I want your lips nowhere near him."

"Hey, you made out with another guy."

"We weren't even together then! And it was you!"

"It wasn't me, no matter what he looked like."

"I'm just saying, I don't want you kissing him again."

"Oh, what is this? Are you jealous for once? I think I like that."

"I told you, James, you have nothing to worry about."

"Like he's not gonna come out here and hug you?"

"I don't know, he probably doesn't even feel that way about me now that he has Kendall."

James shakes his head. "Told you, Logan. I know me. I could never stop loving you."

"Aww. If we weren't sitting in a car in 1959 I'd kiss you."

"Do it anyway."

Logan grins, so tempted, but he knows better.

"LOGAN? Logan, is it really you?"

The car door is yanked open and a tall body climbs over the seat, landing in a heap between them, and then Logan is buried in a muscled chest and a leather jacket as arms wrap around him and hold him close. "I thought I'd never see you again," Jamie whispers, heart beating under Logan's cheek.

Kendall and Carlos slide into the front seat and turn around. "So you must be the other James," Carlos says. "I just found out about you."

"Actually, he's the other James. I was here first."

"Technically, he was," Kendall argues, but without any heat. His eyes are on his boyfriend, who is still holding Logan close as if he'll never let go. He meets James' eyes as if to say "See what I mean?" James nods, fighting the urge to tear Jamie off of Logan.

"Hey, how are you?" Logan holds Jamie just as tightly. "I was worried about you."

Carlos studies James. "Wow, you really do look just like him. So Logan made it, then. This is so cool! Kendall said there's another me, too? Tell me about him!"

"He's uh...fun. Crazy." James is distracted by the fact that they're still hugging and whispering. He turns pleading eyes on Kendall, begging him to do something.

"Guys," Kendall says softly. "Hey. We're starting to get a little nervous here," he tries to joke.

"I'm fine," Jamie answers after pulling back to stare down at Logan. "You?"

"Great. Never better, actually. I wanted you to meet my James." Beaming, Logan pulls James a little closer, and Jamie finally tears his eyes away only to gasp.

"Whoa. You are one handsome guy."

James laughs. "You're not so bad yourself. I'm uh...James."

"Same here. You know, the hair doesn't look so bad in person. Looks the way mine does when I roll out of bed in the morning. Or after a makeout session with Kendall," he smirks.

"You should see mine after a makeout session. It's a mess."

The two Jameses grin at each other, fascinated.

"If you two start making out I'm taking you right back to that time machine," Kendall warns.

"We're not gonna make out," Jamie answers, but he's grinning even wider now. "You are really hot."

James nods. "I know it. It's probably a good thing we aren't twins who exist at the same time, or everyone would pass out from too much handsome."

Logan rolls his eyes. "I can't believe this conversation. Kendall, please drive us somewhere."

"Where do you want to go?"

"Anywhere. I just need some time to talk to James. Your James. And before you two say anything, we're just gonna talk."

"I didn't say anything," Kendall states.

"Neither did I," James agrees. "I'm sure we'll find plenty to talk about amongst ourselves anyway."

Carlos sighs. "I think I'm gonna pass out from all the testosterone flying around this car. Are we gonna be gone long? Stephanie's supposed to meet us here later."

"Oh, it's a bad idea for her to see both of you together," Logan says.

Kendall sighs. "I'll tell you what. You two stay in the car and talk, I'll take Carlos and your James in with us. Just don't be too long."

"I'm good with that," James nods. "I want to check the place out anyway."

Jamie interrupts. "If Uncle Lou says anything to you, just let Kendall handle everything."

"Okay."

Carlos and Kendall jump out of the car and James climbs over the seat, looking back at Logan once. "I love you," he says.

"I know you do. I love you, too." Logan leans forward to kiss him. "Now go, we're just gonna talk. I promise."

When they're gone, Jamie comments, "You and I look really good together. Especially kissing."

Logan chuckles. "I knew it was a bad idea to put you two together." He settles back into the seat, Jamie pulling him close with an arm around his shoulders. "We shouldn't sit so close, the guys will freak."

"They can't see us right now, and I missed you." Jamie presses a kiss to Logan's forehead. "I understand if you didn't miss me, I mean you've got me right there with you all the time. He's so damn lucky."

Logan's eyes fall closed and he leans into Jamie, resting his head on Jamie's shoulder. "This was a bad idea," he says softly. "I can't come back here anymore. I was thinking maybe I could once in a while, just to see you guys, but..." He shakes his head.

"You did miss me, didn't you?"

"More than I realized. I love my James, he makes me happier than I've ever been, and I would go back to him again. Every time. I just...didn't realize how much I missed you, too. You two may look the same, but you're not. Different experiences have made you different people."

Jamie nods slowly. "I think it's best you don't come back, either. All I want to do right now is kiss you."

"Are we horrible people, James?"

Jamie shrugs. "Do you love him?"

"More than my life."

"And you're going back with him?"

"Of course. I wouldn't leave him again, I couldn't."

"I feel the same about Kendall, so I think we're fine."

"So things are good with Kendall? You two seemed pretty cozy in there when he showed up."

Jamie smiles. "Yeah, Kendall's great. He's not an asshole to me anymore, and I'm always at his house. His mom and Katie treat me like family. Carlos goes over there a lot, too. It's been good. If you'd never come here we wouldn't be like this. So thank you."

"Glad I could help," Logan grins. "I wanted to kill you two at the drive-in that night. And you should've seen my James with Kendall at the house. Before Kendall knew he wasn't you. I swear, you two are like water and oil, you just don't mix."

"Kendall was arguing with him, thinking he was me?"

"He was pissed because he showed up to find 'you' and me together. And then James taunted him and he staked his claim."

"What does that mean?"

"He kissed my James. You know how he is, he had to show me—and you—that you belong to him."

"What?" James sits up suddenly. "That asshole kissed my boyfriend?"

"Calm down, it didn't last long. I made sure of that. But you two are such shits, pushing Kendall's buttons all the time."

"He does the same to me. To your James too, I'm sure." Jamie settles back again, pulling Logan in to cuddle with him. "How long are you staying?"

"Not much longer. Thought about staying for dinner with the Knights, she invited me to, but how would we explain both of you? Or does she know everything now?"

"No, just Carlos and Katie know. I never told them anything about the twins thing, either. How we all have twins in the future. Though obviously they know now."

"Yeah."

"So you're not staying for dinner?"

"I don't think it's a good idea," Logan answers, lifting his face to Jamie's. "Because right now all I want to do is kiss you, too." He sighs as Jamie's fingers slide up into his hair.

"I would love to go back with you, just for a little while. See what it's like. But the more time I spend with you, the more I want you."

"Which is why we need to leave as soon as possible."

Jamie nods, pressing his lips to Logan's hair and having to be satisfied with that.

"I needed to know you two were happy together."

"We are. Honestly. Things are so good, Logan, we're like one big family, Carlos included. The only thing missing is you. You sure you don't want to stay?"

"Positive. I'd go crazy without my James."

"So bring him along. The two of you can live here, we can be long lost twins or something."

"You know that would never work. We'd all fight over each other. I can't stand to see the two of them together, keep wanting to drag James away from Kendall. He feels the same about you and me."

"So we all share," James murmurs against Logan's ear. "We could make that work, the four of us."

"Jesus, James!" Logan shudders at the vision, burying his face in James' neck. He likes that idea a little too much to even follow the thought any further.

"You're so cute."

"You just want to make out with yourself."

"It would be pretty amazing."

Logan laughs, finally scooting away from Jamie and putting distance between them. "We have a life there. With Carlos and Kendall. We're in a band together, kind of famous."

"A band? Like a singing group?"

"Exactly. That's how I knew you had an amazing voice. You were the one who wanted to be a star, got us all to move out to California from Minnesota. Though technically, Kendall made that happen."

"So we sing together? Perform on stages for people?"

"And dance. Hang on, let me show you something." Logan fumbles his way out of the seat, cursing old cars and their lack of backseat doors. He jogs into the drugstore to find the other three laughing, frowning slightly at how close Kendall and James are sitting. "Do you still have our last show on your phone? The one Katie filmed with it?"

"I have a couple songs. That's not gonna work here, is it?"

"It should. I want to show James what we do. You guys come on, too, you're gonna freak when you see this."

They all pile into the car again and James pulls up the video on his phone as they lean in to watch. There's the sound of screaming fans and then the place explodes as the band goes into "Famous."

"That's music?" Carlos asks. "What kind of music is that? It's so crazy! I love it!"

"Is that me?" Kendall asks, awestruck. "I sing like that?"

"Look at you," Jamie whispers. "You are so sexy up there, listen to the girls screaming for you!"

"And there you are," James says with a nudge to Carlos. "We're pretty much best buddies, you know."

"That is so cool! James, look at me! I'm a star!"

Jamie laughs and hugs Carlos to him. "We all are. I can't believe this. We're famous."

"Jamie," Kendall says softly. "It's your dream. You're living your dream. Listen to that golden voice."

Jamie reaches a hand out to take Kendall's with a proud smile. "Right next to you. I'm sure I couldn't do it without you. Even if I am with Logan in that time."

"It's true," James nods. "Kendall got it all started. Without him, we'd fall apart."

Kendall smiles at both Jameses. "Love you guys, too."

"That is amazing!" Carlos exclaims. "We should start our own group! I bet we can be famous, too!"

"That's probably a bad idea," Kendall says. "We can't be famous because then when they become famous it'll be weird. I mean, they have the same names. Besides, I just got that offer for a scholarship at UCLA. Though that wouldn't be for a few more years."

"You did?" Logan beams. "What sport?"

"Football. And baseball, but I turned that one down."

"What, no track and field?" James teases.

"What is your problem with track and field?" Kendall asks.

"It's just lame. What you guys really need to do is form a hockey team. We all kick ass at hockey. Even Logan, who doesn't have an athletic bone in his body."

"I am pretty good at hockey," Logan agrees.

"You mean ice hockey?" Carlos asks. "I've seen that, it's cool! You get to hit things with a stick."

Kendall laughs. "Sounds like your kind of sport, Carlitos."

"It's yours, too," James offers. "You are amazing on the ice, always made team captain. We had to give it up when we moved to Hollywood, but you miss it like crazy."

"What do you think?" Kendall asks Jamie. "Think we should give it a try? Find someplace to play, see if we can get a team started at the school?"

"I think watching you play hockey would make me want to spend the night at your place all the time."

Kendall grins. "Hockey it is. Though you should still work on your music. We've got that talent guy coming to the school next week."

Logan and James share a look. "Gustavo Rocque?" Logan asks.

"Yeah, he's in your time, too?"

James nods. "Kendall, make sure you go to that audition with James."

"I'd planned to."

"Good. He might need you there. Carlos, you're going, too?"

"Of course I am. Gotta cheer on my buddy."

"It probably won't work without the four of us all together," Logan comments. "Some things just don't. But you should still go."

"We'll see."

"Jamie, you're going. I'm making sure you get there."

"Okay, Kendall, okay. Just go with me."

"I said I would," Kendall answers. "Is there anything else on that phone? I want to see more of my boyfriend strutting on a stage."

James plays them the other two songs on the phone, "Any Kind of Guy" and "Worldwide." When that one finishes, Logan and Jamie share a long look before Logan says, "We need to go now."

Jamie nods. "I'll drive you to the hotel. That's where the machine is, right?"

"Yeah."

The drive is filled with talk of the "future" and what it's like in Logan and James' time, Kendall commenting that Katie will once again be pissed she missed out. He asks if they can stay a few more hours to see her, but Logan immediately shuts down that idea.

"What's your hurry to get home?" James asks. "I'd like to meet Mama K and Katie."

"And how do you explain that there are two of you? Mrs. Knight doesn't even know I'm from the future, and I'd like to keep it that way."

"Yeah, I guess. Maybe we can come back sometime, though. Now that we know it works."

Jamie meets Logan's eyes in the rear view mirror and he knows they're both in agreement. They don't trust themselves enough to let that happen.

"It's like you said, James. I can't keep babysitting them. Either they make it or they don't."

"Oh, we're making it," Kendall says, grabbing Jamie's hand. "I'm not letting this one go again."

Jamie smiles and squeezes Kendall's hand. "You'd better not."

Once they get to the hotel, it's a chore to sneak down into the basement, but they do it as they do every tricky plan—with teamwork.

"You guys are lucky nobody saw this while you were gone," Carlos comments.

"Actually, we're lucky nobody comes down this way. Hey, I wonder if there's a Buddha Bob. And a Bitters."

"Most likely," James answers. "But I don't want to meet either of them."

"True." Logan hugs Kendall and Carlos, wishing them luck with hockey and with their partners.

"I don't need luck," Kendall replies. "I just need you gone. No offense."

Logan nods. "None taken. I'm feeling a bit of that myself. You two were sitting awfully close in that drugstore."

Kendall shrugs. "He's hot. And a damn good kisser."

"That he is. He says you are, too."

"He does?" Kendall lifts an eyebrow and glances over at James, who is saying goodbye to Carlos and Jamie.

"Don't even think about it," Logan warns.

"It's just weird. Seeing them both. And being in love with mine, but then yours comes along and he's so much like mine and..."

"Now you know how I feel, Kendall. It's hard to not love them both, isn't it?"

"I only spent about twenty minutes with yours, but...yeah. I get it."

"And if you spent more time with him, you'd end up kissing him. Though I want you to know we didn't kiss in the car."

"You wanted to, though?"

"Can you blame me?"

Kendall looks over at the two Jameses again and shakes his head. "Not at all. I'll tell you what. You can kiss mine goodbye if I can kiss yours goodbye. Just don't ever come back here again."

"Seriously?"

"Seriously."

It's so tempting. One last kiss from the James who haunts his dreams to this day. There's no question he loves his James and he wouldn't change anything, but one more taste of those lips wouldn't be wrong, would it? "Just one kiss?"

"Just one."

"I'm not sure my James would go for that. He's terrified I'll leave him for yours."

"I wouldn't let that happen. But what's the harm in one kiss?"

"Hey, Carlos," Logan calls out. "Can you keep a lookout for a minute? I need to talk to the guys about something before we go."

"You got it." Carlos wanders over to the stairs, making sure they're left alone.

"What's up?" James asks as the two of them step closer.

"Will you look at that?" Kendall comments in awe. "They're identical. And so beautiful it hurts."

Matching grins answer him. "We know," they say together, then laugh.

"Kendall wants to kiss you again," Logan says hesitantly to James, not sure how that's going to go over with either of them.

James blinks in surprise. "Really?"

Kendall bites his lip and nods, cringing as he looks at Jamie. "I'd let you kiss Logan once."

"Done," Jamie answers without a second thought. He steps up to Logan, but stops. "If uh...you're okay with that?" he asks James.

Logan watches him war with it, the fear there for a moment until Kendall speaks.

"I won't let it go too far," he promises. "And I'll make sure to distract you in the meantime."

James grins. "Logan, if you ever tell our Kendall about this, I'll kill you."

"It's our secret," Logan chuckles.

"And I think you two should kiss, too, since you're so hot to try it," Kendall comments to the Jameses.

Logan glances over with wide eyes.

"What? You know you want to see it."

With a blush, Logan shrugs.

James beams. "This is gonna be awesome. Come here, James."

Jamie swallows but steps closer. "This is so weird."

"But it's so hot," Kendall inserts.

"It really is," Logan agrees. "God, they're beautiful."

"He's right," Jamie says. "You are beautiful. The hair grew on me."

"Same here," James smiles. He leans in for a kiss, Jamie opening himself to it after getting used to the idea.

"Holy shit, that's insanely hot," Logan murmurs, unable to tear his eyes away.

"I think that image will be burned into my brain until I die," Kendall agrees. "You uh...sure you don't want to come back sometime?"

"Positive. All we'd ever do is make them kiss for us."

"Wonder what else we could make them do."

"Kendall!" Logan smacks him. "Okay, we really need to go."

"Come on, it's hot! Makes me wonder if I should kiss you, just to make it even."

Logan shakes his head. "No way. Sorry, but my feelings for you are not like that."

"Yeah, same here. You're cute, though. Just not my type."

"Exactly. And how would I ever face my Kendall again? Ugh, just no."

"I don't think they're ever gonna stop," Kendall comments with a frown.

Logan reaches out to pull Jamie toward him, breaking the kiss. "Come here. Now."

Jamie flies into his arms with a soft whine, kissing him hard and backing him up against the wall.

James watches in awe. "We're so sexy together. Look at that."

"I'd rather not, it upsets me. How about you kiss me instead?"

"I can do that." James copies his counterpart, backing Kendall up to the wall and kissing him hard. Kendall lifts James up against him with a groan.

Jamie finally steps back, letting Logan breathe. "Damn, I'm gonna miss you."

"I know. I'll miss you, too. I think we both will, actually."

"Still against that whole coming back and sharing idea?"

"I think I need to be." Logan kisses Jamie lightly. "Don't forget me," he whispers.

"Never."

James lets out a long sigh when their kiss runs out. "I'm never gonna be able to look at Kendall the same again when I get back."

"If you go for him, I'm coming back here without you," Logan threatens.

"I won't. It's different, we grew up together. We're like brothers, I could never kiss him like that. It would be gross. But this guy...I just met him. And he's hot."

Kendall laughs. "Well, thank you. I still prefer my Jamie, but you're not so bad yourself."

"You guys done over there?" Carlos calls out. "I think somebody's coming."

Logan grabs James' hand. "Come on, we have to get out of here."

"Carlos, it was a blast meeting you!" James yells.

"You too, buddy! Take care of Logan for us!"

"For sure! You take care of Kendall!"

"Excuse me, that's my job," Jamie inserts.

"Fine, take care of Jamie, then!"

"Got it!" Carlos answers. "Just go!"

They step in and Jamie leans in for one last peck on both sets of lips. "Love you guys. Be careful."

"You take care," Logan answers. "I'll miss you."

Jamie nods as Kendall steps up to wrap an arm around his waist.

"If you change your mind, we're always here," Kendall reminds them.

"Don't tempt me," Logan replies. "Now get out of here. Good luck with the hockey thing. And with Jamie's audition. Just make sure you're there."

"I will be."

James closes the door and turns to face Logan. "You sure about this? If seeing him again changed your mind, I get it. I'd hate it, and I'd be miserable without you, but I would understand."

"There's nothing I want more than to go home with you, James. I chose you then, and I choose you now. You're the one that I want. Every time."

"I love you."

"I know, babe. I love you, too." Logan glances back at Jamie and Kendall and sighs. "Why am I always making you cry?"

"Because you're so amazing we can't stand the thought of losing you."

Kendall hugs Jamie tight from behind. "I'm sorry. I know you love him."

"I love you more. I'm just gonna miss him."

"Yeah. I'll spend the rest of my life making you happy, Jamie."

"Aw, Kendall, you already do." Jamie turns to face his boyfriend, kissing him sweetly even as tears slide down his cheeks. "I wouldn't give you up for anything. Not even him."

Kendall's last vision of Logan is of James kissing him, and for the first time it doesn't bother him. He has what he wants, and he knows Logan does as well. It took them a while to figure that out, but as long as they got there, that's what matters.

"Everything in its time," he murmurs as the time machine disappears.
