hey FanFictioners! It's been a while since I've posted anything for Camp Rock, but I am back with one of the most overused storylines ever. What happens after Mitchie gets home from Camp Rock. I do love the whole telling-off-the-mean-girl thing, but there are only so many ways to write this story. But please give this one a chance, please? For me?

I do not own Camp Rock or anything recognizable because I am just not that lucky.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, happy whatever holiday you celebrate!

After the Final Jam Jam Session I went backstage. My mind was going a mile a minute because I knew that I was going to have to tell Shane about why I lied and he would realize that I wasn't good enough for him and he would throw a hissy fit and he would leave me and I would still be the nerdy loser I am at school and and and...

Just before I started hyperventilating my thoughts were interrupted by a smart looking man in a business suit. "My name is Larry Richards and I am a talent scout from Lava Records. I watched your performance and I would like you to record a demo for me to take to see if you would be offered a recording contract."

I screamed and agreed. Larry told me that I would get the results about a week after I recorded the demo, and we set up an appointment to record it in a few days. Then he shook my hand and we went our separate ways. That was when all the excitement from that encounter was replaced by anxiety about my canoe ride with Shane. I left the building and walked down to the lake.

I sat down on the dock.

"Hey Mitch you want to take that canoe ride now?" I heard behind me. It was Shane.

"Sure," I replied.

Once we got out on the lake, he asked the question I had been dreading.

"Why did you lie?"

I sighed. "I lied because I only have one friend back home and I get teased and picked on. I just wanted to know what it felt like to be popular for once."

Shane looked at me with lots of emotions in his eyes. There was sympathy because of the story I just told, happiness, from finding his mystery girl, I'm guessing, and something else.

"Mitchie, when I realized that you were the girl with the voice, I was ecstatic. I had started to fall in love with this girl. Weird, I know, because I didn't even know her. When Tess told everyone your lie, I was crushed, because I guess I had started to like you too. Finding out that you're the mystery girl has made my feelings grow."

I just listened patiently to his speech with tears in my eyes. "Shane I like you too," I said.

He smiled and asked, "Mitchie, would you do me the honors of being my girlfriend?"

I giggled and said, "Of course."

He grinned and kissed me slowly. And, cliche as it may sound, fireworks went off. It totally made my day.

The next morning was full of sadness. Everyone was giving tearful goodbyes while exchanging phone numbers and email addresses.

I was walking up to Caitlyn when she got a phone call. She put up her index finger, signalling me that she needed a minute. Halfway through the very short phone call she started sobbing. I immediately put my arms around her.

"Caitlyn, what happened?" I asked her.

"M-my p-p-parents...c-crash...f-foster h-home," she choked out in between sobs.

"Caitlyn, you need to breathe and tell me what happened."

"M-my parents were in a c-car c-crash on the way to pick me up," she stopped and cried for a minute. "I need to live in a f-foster h-home until s-someone adopts m-me."

By now I was crying too. Then an idea hit me.

I ran down to the kitchen and found my mom.

"Hey Mom, can Caitlyn come live with us?"

She looked shocked and confused, so I gave her a quick rundown of the situation.

"Oh my god that must be killing her. Of course we'll try, but no guarantees."

"Thanks Mom," I screamed as I was running out the door, back to Caitlyn, who was now laying on the ground, crying her eyes out. Above her I saw none other than Nate Black, one third of Connect 3, comforting her.

"Thanks Nate. Caitlyn, my mom said that we would try to adopt you so you could come live with us," I said running up to them.

"She did?" Caitlyn said, sitting up quickly, almost hitting Nate.

These chapters are probably going to be pretty short, so I'm sorry. I have the next chapter written, but I want a few review first =)
