Chapter One, Ninja Turtles
Carlos's P.O.V
Los Angelos, California.
People call it the City of Angels. The City where everything happens. Where everybody who's anybody live. The city of dreams, hopes, and desire. If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. Well, it's partially true. A few months back me and my friends use to have dreams of this place. Making it big! But now that we have, we've kind of realized that Hollywood is like any other town. I mean, yeah, there's the glitz and glamour. But when you look past it all, normal.
Does that make sense?
Right now I stood on the balcony outside of Gustavo's living room. Man, this guy knew how to live! You could see all of L.A. from here. Including that big Hollywood sign. Just another symbol, you made it! A noise from the living room made me turn. I watched as Gustavo lugged a huge suitcase down the stairs. Hasn't the guy ever heard of butlers?
"Now, what to you do if there's a fire?" He asked.
At this point, I came back in and sat down on the couch by Kendall. Logan was in kitchen, doing something? And James sat across from us. Ms. Knight was going out of town too. Something about family back home. Probably just a family reunion, which explains why Kendall didn't go. If it was something serious we'd be out of here in a flash!
What was it with everybody leaving? First, Kendall's mom. And now Gustavo and Kelly. They were heading to meet Griffin in Japan for a meeting with thier advisor. From the looks of it, it would probably be a week, if not longer. Finally, my attention drifted back to the question Gustavo asked once Kendall spoke.
"Save you bling?" He questioned.
Ha, nice! That earned a knuckle bonk from me and James. Gustavo looked less than enthusiastic.
"No!" He barked. "You call the fire department."
A few weeks ago, Gustavo was more than ready to sacrifice us to save his house. Not anymore. You could say we kind of...grew on him. The fact that Kendall's mom threatened to rip his arm off and beat him with it kind of helped the matter to.
"Now, what if someone tries to break in?" He questioned.
"We call the fire department!" Kendall joked.
"Or the ninja turtles." I added.
"No, guys." Gustavo said, exhausted. "You get the phone, hide, and call the police."
"But if we call the police when we're hiding, won't the burglars hear us?" I asked.
"You know, i've always thought of that." James asserted.
"But maybe if we hide in the basement or something..." Kendall added.
"Does Gustavo's house even have a basement?"
"Of course Gustavo's house has a basement, it's Gustavo's house!"
Through the whole argument, you couldn't help but notice Gustavo's face. What was that? Hopelessness? Annoyance? Loss? The whole thing was hilarious. Somehow, the fight between James and Kendall went from burglars and basements to "yo mamma" jokes.
"Yeah? Well yo momma is so fat she jumped up in the sky and got stuck!" James retorted. Good thing wasn't here right now! Finally, Gustavo had had enough.
"Guys!" He shrieked. Making us all jump. I sware the windows rattled! But just as they did, Kelly came walking through the door.
"Gustavo, the limo's ready." She said, but her expression tightened. "What are you yelling about?"
"Nothing as usual." Kendall said with a smug expression on his face. Fed up, Gustavo grabbed his suitcase and walked toward the door. Kelly herself grabbed the door knob and began to close her door. But she poked her head through the door, to give us our usual final warning.
"Just take it easy guys." She said. "His nerves are already shot because of the meeting. The last thing he needs is more stress. So just be good, okay?"
"Will do." Logan said, finally coming into the room. He carried a tray of sandwiches, more than likely for us.I gave Kelly a little salute. She gave a small, but promising smile before she closed the door behind her. We waited until we heard the limo pulled away from the curb. I looked toward Kendall for the okay. He nodded and I cupped my hands to my mouth.
"Coast is clear!" I shouted. There was a scraping as the sliding door in the kitchen opened. Camille, Jo, and Stephanie came in through it.
Party Time!

Chapter Two, Let's Get It Started
Carlos's P.O.V
The first thing you'll notice about me if we ever get the chance to meet, I have the tendency to get very hyper. I grabbed the remote off of the coffee table. With one click, The Black Eyed Peas filled the air. I climbed to my feet on the couch and began jumping on it. Did I care that Gustavo was going to kill me? Nope! Did I look like an idiot? Probably. Was I having fun? Oh yeah! Deciding to kick it up a notch, I jumped onto the coffee table, sending a pile of magazines flying. Logan, James, Kendall, and Camille all started to cheer for me.
"Yeah! Go Carlos!" James shouted. Jo only rolled her eyes. And Stephanie...well, it looked like Stephanie didn't know what to think! I jumped off the table and onto the floor, doing air guitar. By now, everyone else got the memo and began dancing to the music.
Oh yeah, I could work a room!
Standing up, I turned to Stephanie. She stood there like a wallflower. Everybody else was having a good time, why couldn't she? I walked over, grabbing her hand, which seemed to startle her a little.
"Come on." I said, staring her clear in the eye. "Come explore the house with me!" Not knowing what to say, she followed me as we ran into the endless maze Gustavo called a house.
Kendall's P.O.V
"Well, looks like Carlos is quite the ladies man." Jo said, staring past me.
I turned in time to see Carlos run off with Stephanie. Should I be worried? They disappeared a second later. What the heck were they going to do? Shrugging it off, I began to dance again. But I just couldn't get into it. Right now, I was suppose to be on a plane to Minnesota with Katie and my mom. Something bad had happened. My grandmother had just died.
My grandmother just died and here I was, partying like it was New Year's Eve. Mom made the announcement yesterday. She and Katie were going back to Minnesota for the funeral, and she wanted me to come. My grandmother and I were closer than everybody thought. But I just couldn't go! I didn't want to see her like that! So for the past day and a half I had been blowing it off like it was no big deal. I couldn't allow myself to break down. At least not in front of the guys! They made me leader of this group, and leaders were suppose to be strong! What would they do if they saw me crying? I guess Jo saw how distant I was.
"Hey, Kendall. Are you okay?" She asked, her face full of worry.
"Um...of course, Fine!" I said putting on another smile.
Just another act. Apparently, she bought it and continued to dance.
"You know, my mom would kill me if she knew I was staying here for the week." She explained. She had to say kill!
"Oh yeah?"
"I told her I was going with Camille to an acting camp for a week. Camille did the same with her mom."
"Nice."
"If she finds out i'm probably going to be grounded until I graduate colledge."
"And your point." She stopped dancing and looked at me.
"Make it worth it, okay?"
Stephanie's P.O.V
One minute I was standing against the wall, the next this completly amazing guy dragged me off and now we were exploring the inside of a mansion. Alone.
God, I love L.A!
I'll admit I never thought of Carlos as anything more than a target before. He and his friends lived at the Palm Woods. I needed practice for my horror movie, and they were right there! Gullible! I still wanted to create movies, but i've layed off these guys. They were the only people who had actually talked to me since I got here. And Carlos...he was just awesome!
Right now, we walked down the hallway and eventually came to a big room. We passed by a grand staircase as we came into it. A crystal chandelier. A few statues, a skylight. Not to mention you could throw a banquet for royalty in the place. But what seemed to interest Carlos the most were the statues.
"He's got a statue of naked people peeing in the fountain." Carlos said flatly. "Man, this place has class!"
Grinning, I turned on my video camera and pointed it toward Carlos.
"The day inside a Hollywood mansion, take one!" Carlos came into view, flashing the peace symbol and a smile. He turned his head, his eyes widening as he focused on something.
"Hey, what's under there?" He asked.
"What's under what?" He ran toward the staircase, which we now noticed was parted. Beneath it, we could see a smaller room. I followed behind Carlos, shooting the whole time. He stopped infront of it, moving a few things aside.
"What is it Carlos?" I asked. He moved from in front of the camera. An elevator stood in front of him.
"He's got an elevator in his house? WICKED!" I watched as Carlos pressed a button on the side. There was a ding and the doors swooshed open. Is that even a word? Swooshed? I shrugged, it should be. Carlos fixed his hockey helmet and signaled toward the door.
"After you." He said.
