 ❝we gotta keep living for these moments / 'cause this is our time

- we are: big time rush

The 2013 Tween Choice Awards promised big things for Big Time Rush. Kit's second studio album debuted earlier that same week with record-breaking sales and excellent reviews. Not only had they been nominated for five awards, but they were performing. Gustavo even managed to have Kit slotted as a guest performer with them. Even that wasn't the most exciting part to the boys; they each had a certain something in mind, and couldn't shake the feeling that it was going to come true on awards night.

That feeling only grew as the day drew closer. For their first rehearsal, Kit and Big Time Rush got to see the stage in person. It was unreal. The screens behind them were even showing the Big Time Rush logo over a red and black logo. Underneath, it also read: featuring Kit Knight, in the same familiar font as her albums. The twins turned to look at the jumbo screen, pointing at it in awe.

"This is amazing!"

Carlos stared around in awe.

"We've been watching this show all our lives," James added. "And now, we're performing on it!"

Gustavo and Kelly watched them from just in front of the stage.

"Dogs, fox," Gustavo called to them. "Tomorrow night is the night we have worked so long and hard for. Live from the Tween Choice Awards, all of your dreams will come true!"

Kit furrowed her eyebrows briefly at the term. It soon faded into a grin as it sunk in that it really was just one day away. Kelly beamed at them.

"Wait," Carlos gasped. "You mean I'm finally gonna get a girlfriend?"

Kelly's lips parted. She looked on with concern.

"And I finally get to kiss Lucy," James pointed to himself. "Which can't happen 'cause she's touring Europe."

His smile faded and he turned to glare at Gustavo. Logan shared a knowing look. He held up a finger as he spoke:

"And I will find the oft-rumored, yet never seen Tween Choice Goop Room, the legendary source of goop."

He nodded, smiling. Kit laughed softly.

"Yeah," said Kelly. "Please don't do that."

"Ah, yeah," Gustavo's expression didn't change. "The dream is to win the amazing Gustavo Rocque his first Purple Rocket."

It was surprising that Gustavo didn't already have one, as this was the 24th annual run of the show. The Purple Rocket was the distinctive trophy that winners of the Tween Choice Award received. The group turned around to look at the one being displayed on the screens. Kit's eyes widened. She really wanted that rocket. Not only would it be physical proof that her music career was bigger than she ever imagined, but it also combined her two favorite things into one: space and her job.

The teens turned back to Gustavo with reassuring tongue clicks and a few finger guns. He stared at the twins.

"What's with you?" Gustavo asked them, eyes narrowing.

"Why aren't you two shouting out your dreams?"

Kendall turned to share a brief look with Kit. She spoke first:

"Uh, the goop thing. You know, for science," Kit pointed to Logan.

She offered them a grin. It was half-true; there was something else Kit had in mind for tomorrow night. They shrugged in response, accepting this.
