Only one

Back to the states

The European tour had come to a triumphant close with the band's last show in Vienna. The concert had been a resounding success, and the energy in the venue had been electric. Now, late into the night, the four members of Big Time Rush were heading towards their private plane, ready to make the long flight back to the States.

The band gathered around a table on the plane, their spirits high despite the exhaustion of the tour. With a comfortable air of camaraderie, they began to discuss their plans for the upcoming months.

Carlos, glancing at a notebook filled with scribbles and ideas, broke the silence. "Alright, so we've wrapped up the tour, and the first thing on the agenda is visiting our families. It's been almost two months, and I'm sure everyone's excited to catch up."

James nodded in agreement, leaning back in his seat. "Yeah, it'll be great to spend some time at home. And then we need to dive into filming the music video for 'Only One.' Any thoughts on how we want to approach it?"

Logan, tapping his chin thoughtfully, chimed in. "I was thinking we could do something that reflects both our time on tour and the behind-the-scenes moments. We've had so many incredible experiences over the past couple of months. Why not incorporate those into the video?"

Kendall, who had been quietly contemplating, looked up with a smile. "That sounds like a great idea. We could use clips from our live performances, and maybe even some footage from our interactions with fans. It would give the video a personal touch and show the journey we've been on."

Carlos, flipping through his notebook, added, "We could also include behind-the-scenes shots from our photo shoots and backstage moments. It'll give our fans a peek into what goes on when we're not performing. Maybe some candid clips from our downtime on the tour bus or while we were exploring cities."

James, excited by the idea, nodded vigorously. "Yes! And we could have segments of us discussing the song and the meaning behind it. Maybe even a few clips of us recording in the studio and planning the tour. It'll be like a mini-documentary within the music video."

Logan smiled, his eyes bright with enthusiasm. "And to add an artistic touch, we could include some creative studio shots. We could have some visually striking elements—maybe using different lighting effects or special filters. It'll make the video stand out and give it a unique look."

Kendall leaned in, adding another layer to their plan. "What if we also included some fan footage? We could ask for submissions from fans who recorded their own messages or moments from our shows. It would be a nice way to involve them in the video and show our appreciation for their support."

Carlos scribbled down notes quickly. "That's a brilliant idea! We could have a call-to-action for fans to send in their clips, and then feature a selection of those in the video. It would definitely add a personal touch."

As they continued brainstorming, the conversation shifted to their upcoming press tour and events. James pulled out a calendar from his bag, and they began to go through their schedule.

"After we wrap up the video," James said, "we've got a few events coming up—like the charity gala in New York and the music awards in LA. We'll need to prepare for those, so it's going to be a busy few months."

Logan, who had been quietly listening, looked at Kendall. "We'll need to figure out how we want to handle things regarding our relationship during these events. We've been keeping things low-key, but with all the press and public appearances coming up, it might be time to think about how open we want to be."

Kendall nodded, understanding the complexity of their situation. "Yeah, it's something we need to discuss. Do we continue as we have been, keeping it private but with hints that might give people a clue, or do we start to be more open about it?"

Carlos, sensing the seriousness of the conversation, chimed in. "Whatever you decide, we'll support you. It's important that you both feel comfortable with how things unfold. The fans are already guessing, but it's up to you two to decide how much you want to share."

James added, "And remember, you don't have to rush into anything. It's okay to take your time and figure out what feels right for both of you."

Logan squeezed Kendall's hand, offering a reassuring smile. "We'll figure it out together. For now, let's focus on enjoying the time with our families and making the music video something special."

Kendall smiled back, feeling grateful for the support of his bandmates. "Thanks, guys. We'll definitely talk more about it before the press tour starts. For now, let's enjoy the break and get ready for the next chapter."

As the plane continued its flight, the band members settled into their seats, their minds abuzz with plans and possibilities. The journey back home marked the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. With the warmth of their recent experiences and the anticipation of what was to come, Big Time Rush looked forward to the next steps in their career, ready to embrace the opportunities that lay ahead while navigating their personal lives with care and thoughtfulness.
