"Dogs! You've come a long way, but you have a longer way to go before you go multi-platinum and start selling out fifty-thousand seat stadiums." Gustavo explained to the five best friends, who were all lined up in front of him at the studio. "James is still too self-centered, and only cares about himself." The man said, standing in front of James.

The pretty boy held up a mirror, looking at himself in it. "James and I still disagree." James said, combing his hair.

"Quiet, you two!" Gustavo exclaimed before moving onto Carlos. "Carlos still lacks direction."

"I do not!" Carlos responded, facing the other way.

"Turn around." Gustavo said to the boy. Carlos turned around but ended up doing a spin instead and still faced the other way. Gustavo gave up and moved onto Logan. "Logan still lacks swagger."

"Yes, but if you ever need a colored pencil, who you gonna call?" Logan said with a smug smirk, holding a colored pencil that he took out from his shirt pocket.

Gustavo took the pencil, snapping it in half, making Logan yelp. "Hey!" Lilly yelled, glaring at her boss.

Gustavo only rolled his eyes, moving onto Lilly, ignoring her glare. "Lady has to stop threatening people and picking fights." The man said.

"I don't pick fights with people, they just happen to annoy me or piss me off." Lilly argued, crossing her arms while still glaring.

Gustavo let out a long sigh, finally moving onto Kendall. "And Kendall has to stop talking back to me after everything I say!" Gustavo shouted.

"And Gustavo needs to take a-" Kendall started.

"Don't say it!" Gustavo warned, stopping the blonde boy from speaking. "Not one more word."

Kendall gave the man a bored expression. He looked at Logan, James and Carlos, who all shook their heads, trying to stop him. He then looked down at Lilly, who smirked and nodded while grabbing his hand.

"Good!"

"Chill pill." Kendall smirked, tightly holding onto Lilly's hand.

Gustavo groaned, an angry look on his face as he looked at the tall boy. Kelly quickly put on headphones while the three other boys shared worried glances. But no yelling happened. Instead, steam came out of Gustavo's ears while he shook with anger.

"Steam." James and Carlos spoke together, small smiles on their faces.

"Huh. That's a new one." Logan commented.

Lilly tried hiding her laugh. "You guys do realize he's gonna come after us and kill us, right?" She said with an amused smile.

Four smiles dropped as the boys processed what Lilly said. "Run." Kendall said, throwing Lilly over his shoulder before booking it out. Logan, Carlos and James followed while Lilly laughed, hearing Gustavo roar.

The five teens ended up back at the Palm Woods, all yelling over each other while Kendall closed and locked the door to their apartment. "Flower first!" "Go, go, go, go!" "Go!" Three boys yelled over each other, helping Lilly climb up the swirly slide before they climbed up themselves.

"Doll, come on!" Lilly yelled once she was on the balcony, spotting her boyfriend still at the door.

The four boys barely managed to make it up onto the balcony with Lilly just as the front door came crashing down, an angry, roaring, Gustavo marching in.

"Gentlemen, I think we might've actually done it this time. He's gonna kill us." Lilly said, looking at the producer with a worried look.

"Get down here! Get down here right now!" Gustavo yelled at the five.
