I want to thank everyone who read my first story and now everyone who is reading the sequel so thank you all! This will be in Mitchie's POV until further notice
Chapter 1
The plane ride to L.A. felt like it was 3 years. It felt so long. I think it took so long because I was so excited for the premier and for our tour. Gosh, I'm going on a tour! Can you believe it? Anyway when the plane landed, Caitlyn, Shane, Nate, Jason, my mom, and I followed Henry off the plane. As soon as we walked out of the pass through at least 10 people came up to get their picture taken with Connect Three. Henry kept all the girls 3 feet away from us and so did the airport security. But before we got to where the paparazzi would be Shane, Nate and Jason decided to stop and get their pictures taken with their fans. Henry made the girls stand a little farther back and they went up to them.
"Oh my gosh, I'm such a huge fan! Will you sign this?" I heard about half the girls say this.
"Mitchie can we get our picture with you?" I heard a group of girls say. I was kind of shocked because I thought that most people would care about Connect 3.
"Sure." I said. There were three girls and they walked up and I stood in the middle, two girls on my left and one on my right. Their mom snapped the picture and they all squealed,
"Thank you so much, we are big fans!" Then they waved and left with their mom. This only went on for about 5 minutes because we had a lot do. Henry made all the girls back away and we continued through the airport. When we got to the line where people weren't allowed to cross there were tons of paparazzi. Caitlyn and I both had knitted hats on and we had sunglasses in our pocket so when we went outside people wouldn't see us. Shane stood on the side of me closest to the paparazzi and Nate did the same to Caitlyn. We didn't have to wait for our bags because other people were getting them for us. We made our way outside when many more paparazzi came up and were asking random questions. We ignored all of them and pretended they weren't there. We put on our sunglasses and we saw two black SUV's waiting for us. One was for my mom, Caitlyn, and I, and the other one was for Jason, Nate, and Shane. They were going back to their house and then to a CD signing. We were going to our new house which I had not seen before. Before we got in our SUV I hugged Shane, Jason, and then Nate because I didn't know when I would see them next. Caitlyn did the same. The paparazzi were still taking pictures of us when we got into the SUVs. I slid in first and Caitlyn slid in behind me.
"Mitchie this is crazy… but I love it! Thank you so much!" Caitlyn said.
"I know. Your welcome. But get used to it. We are celebrities now!" I said. We both laughed. My mom shushed us and we looked over and she was on the phone.
"Yes, I know that….. yes they can share….. okay. Thank you. Goodbye." She said hanging up the phone.
"Who was that?" Caitlyn asked her.
"Mitchie's manager. She wanted to know if you girls could share a tour bus. Of course I said yes." My mom said. We hired my agent the week that we left Ohio. Her name is Marie. She is about 35 and she is very nice but when needed to be she can be your worst nightmare.
"Did she say anything else?" I asked her.
"Yes, you both have rehearsals for the tour for the next two weeks. The premier of your movie is in less than a week and your tour starts in a little less than three weeks." Mom said. Caitlyn and I both look at each other and squealed because we were so excited.
We drove for about 15 minutes before the SUV came to a stop. We pulled up in front of big Spanish style, modern house. This house was about twice or three times bigger than my old house. We got of the SUV and ran inside. The house was huge. (AN: I'm not going into detail about it because most of the story they are on tour and stuff) We unpacked our bags and were exploring the house when my mom called us to the kitchen. We both hurried down and she said,
"Guys, you have dance rehearsals tomorrow at 9:00 am. Get some sleep."
"Mom, its only 9'oclock." I said. She gave us both a "listen to me look" and Cat and I scurried upstairs and fell fast asleep. The next day my mom came in and woke me up at 8:00 and I went into Caitlyn's room and threw a pillow at her.
"Hey!" She said sitting up.
"Get up time for rehearsals." I said walking out. I went to my room and but on a pair of black Capri sweat pants and a yellow fitted Nike tee-shirt. I pulled my hair up into a messy bun and put on some foundation and eye shadow. I went downstairs to find my mom making us breakfast. I sat down and about 5 minutes later Cat came down. My mom made us pancakes and we ate them up. At 8:30 a car from the dance studio came and picked me and Caitlyn up. It drove us to a warehouse that was transformed into a huge dance studio. The room we were in today was just a big room with hardwood floors and mirrors on one wall. The other walls were light blue. When we got in the room there were 7 other people in the room.
"Ah. Mitchie and Caitlyn. I am Monica the choreographer. These are you back up dancers. This is Josh, KD, Derek, Hanna, Ronnie, and Carly." Monica said.
"Hi." Caitlyn and I said in unison. We shook their hands and start some random small talk with them. They were all really nice and friendly.
"Connect Three will not be here for the first few rehearsals because they don't have as many dances to learn as you do."
After she said this our dance rehearsal started.
The week we left Ohio we had some people write songs for us. They wrote a couple for just me and then a couple for all of us. The first one was called "We Can't Back Down" which was for me, Caitlyn, our backup singers and dancers. Another song was called "It's on" which was for all of us. One of them just for me was called "Catch me." There more songs but I will tell you about them later.
We started to learn to "Can't Back Down" which was intense. Our rehearsals started at 9:00 and didn't end until 2'oclock. We did get a lunch break but other than that we had continuous dance lessons. The dances were hard and since I didn't have much dance experience Monica had to go a little slower for me. Caitlyn had some dance background so she was getting it just fine. At 2o'clock the dance lessons ended and we were picked up to go back to our house.
"Wow that a pretty awesome dance." Caitlyn said.
"I know it's so much fun, I just hope I'll be able to do it on stage." I said. This is when I started questioning myself, would I really be able to perform in front of thousands of people every night?
