Boomboomboommuffins here! Ok, so who else totally loved Big Time Movie? Who else found themselves annoyed that there wasn't really any whump? So ever since I saw it, it bothered me that this scene (the one at the beginning of this chapter) didn't find James with any injuries whatsoever. He just bounced right back up and was fine the rest of the movie. Well I hope this satisfies your want for whump...Enjoy! :)

James' friends looked up at him expectantly as he stared down at the villain beneath him, terrified.

"Jump," Penny said, glancing at James.

"Easy for you to say," he answered nervously, not taking his eyes away from the ground.

There wasn't much time left. Actually, it might have already been too late to save the world, James realized. But that didn't mean it was worth it for him to do a dive into the area closed off by the invisible force field. Sure, Carlos' dream had been right up until this point. Supposedly, almost everything he'd dreamt had come true: the bad guy in white, the Beatles songs, the tuxes, and the kidnapping of the "princess" which had turned out to be Katie.

If he jumped, he'd risk damaging his perfect face and hair.

If he didn't jump he'd be risking the fate of the world.

But, if he jumped, he'd be risking his life.

"Just close your eyes and fall," Penny instructed.

"Easy for you to say," James turned to glare at the girl standing next to him.

He didn't have the time to think about it for another second because as his nervous glance caught the determined look of Penny, she quickly drew him closer. As their lips met, James' mind started spinning. Was he seriously making out with the hot, British, secret agent who had refused to even hold his hand an hour ago? It was too much for James to handle, and his legs went weak.

The next thing James knew he was falling over the railing, screaming as loud as he could. He hoped this part would end just like Carlos' dream, with the bad guy being stopped and James saving the day. Hitting the lever that controlled the force-field on his way down, James had somehow managed to turn it off. The force of his fall was enough to push Moon backwards, causing him to stumble against the force-field which promptly disappeared. James' head struck the ground with a sickening thud.

The blood pounded in his ears and his vision faded in and out, causing everything in front of him to form one huge blur.

"Did I get him?" James asked in a daze. Although he couldn't see straight, he noticed three blobs rushing towards the machine behind him. He took that as the hint that he had succeeded. Resting his still reeling head on the ground, James let a small grin appear on his face, reassured that he had saved the day.

While Kendall rushed forward and grabbed the "beetle" out of the machine, James slowly propped himself up and then jumped up to his feet. He realized too late that that had been a bad idea, for his vision became blurry again, and he had to blink several times to get it back to normal.

"I think we just saved the world," Logan said in amazement. It was clear that he still did not believe the events that had taken place within that day.

The next few minutes consisted of following Moon out of his lair, saving Katie, and sending the evil man floating up into the sky with the "beetle" attached to his back. The heads of Secret Intelligence showed up right afterwards and Kendall didn't hesitate to ask the favor of a ride to Big Time Rush's concert.

Logan glanced over worriedly at James who had been silent ever since they had boarded the helicopter. The tall brunette sat staring off into space, as Kendall and Carlos were talking excitedly to each other about the worldwide tour they would be kicking off in just a few minutes.

"James…" Logan let the word linger for a second before continuing. "Are you alright?"

When his friend didn't answer, he slowly placed a hand on his shoulder, causing James to blink and turn towards him.

"What?" After a moment, the question seemed to sink in. "Yeah. Fine," James put on a fake smile, because in honesty, he hadn't felt right since they had left Moon's lair in the flying vehicle.

"Are you sure? That was quite a fall you-" Logan was cut off by the voice of the man piloting the helicopter.

"Boys, we're approaching the park. The ladders extend from each side of the floor. Good luck."

"Sweet," Carlos stretched out the word in glee.

"You guys ready?" Kendall didn't wait for a response, as the helicopter hovered above the stage. "Let's go," he grinned as the ladders unwound and the boys grabbed on.

One by one the four teen sensations jumped off of the ladders, to the sound of cheering fans. James stumbled a bit as he took his turn, but quickly balanced himself, so as not to worry his friends. He feared that something might be wrong with him, but they'd worked so hard to get here. After all they'd gone through; he didn't want to be another complication. For this reason, he shook it off.

"So, what song are we gonna open our world tour with," Kendall asked as the boys formed a huddle facing away from the audience.

"What else," the rest of the boys responded. Of course they were opening with a Beatles song. After all, the legendary band had given Big Time Rush the song that made their sound check perfect. Why not keep that success going with another Beatles song?

It was very rare for James to get nervous. He often viewed himself as born to be on stage. So, he found himself wondering why he could feel the anxiety building up inside of him at that very moment. Maybe it was the fear that his head hitting the floor earlier had caused more damage than was clear. As the first chord rang throughout the park, though, James forced himself to focus. When he began to sing, he found himself attempting to think through every dance step, every lyric.

It's been a hard day's night*stepstep*
And I've been working like a dog *mic toss to right hand, back to left*

*cross stage right*

James followed the rest of the dance moves as best he could, but realized he wasn't keeping up as well as he had been in practices. He sang when he was supposed to sing, possibly a little out of tempo, but he sang. He hoped that the rest of the band hadn't noticed that he was struggling to keep up. The concert seemed to pass by sluggishly, but finally it was time for the finale song, Elevate.

James had made it to the chorus and realized his dance moves were noticeably out of step with those of his friends. This was mostly because of the strange looks he had been getting from Logan, Kendall, and Carlos throughout the first half of the song.

Elevate a little higher

Let's throw a party in the sky and celebrate

Elevate until we're flying

Move move your feet until you levitate

Come on let's elevate

A sharp pain stabbed into the back of James' head and the edges of his vision blurred. He turned his head to the side to find Logan, next to him, walking forward. James followed suit.

Don't even hesitate

Just let it escalate

I wanna see you go woah ohh woah

Step by step the pang in the back of the tall boy's head grew stronger and his vision faded even more.

Break through the ceiling now

Two more steps and James' vision was a complete blur. Still he kept walking forward. He couldn't stop now. They had worked so hard. He wouldn't stop now.

It's time to hit the clouds

And now we ain't coming d-

James took another blind step forward, and took less than a second more to notice that the floor had disappeared beneath him. He was walking on air. And the next moment he could feel himself plummeting to the ground. The blur around him and the screaming of his name did nothing to help catch his fall.
