I want to thank everyone who has reviewed, added to favourites, and story alerted Secrets Out and many, many thanks to my awesome beta JBlove. Now for the boring but essential Ido not ownany of the characters of Camp Rock except for original creations, I am just a college student writing for fun.
Prologue
Mitchie and Shane were sitting on a couch at the recording studio in downtown Boston discussing what they were going to sing as their duet. The other three girls had been taken on a tour of the facility by Daniel, the band's manager.
"I think we should record the song you wrote when the band was in Canada last month," Mitchie suggested.
"I don't know. I really like the song you sent me last week."
The door opened quietly, neither person in the room noticing the newcomer as she stood there listening for a minute.
"You know, you could record both and then let the label decide which one to use on the album."
Mitchie and Shane looked up at the person who had spoken with wide eyes, stunned into complete silence until…
"OMG, Caitlin!" Mitchie screamed. She hurried off the couch and wrapped her arms around her friend in a crushing hug.
"Mitchie... Need... Air," Caitlin managed to splutter.
"Oh, sorry," Mitchie said as she released her friend.
Shane walked up and gave her a small hug. "It is so good to see you again, and that is a fantastic idea." Shane grinned at Caitlyn. "What do you think, sweetie?" Shane asked, turning to Mitchie.
"I like it. Do we have music for either of the songs so we can record today?" Mitchie asked Shane while latching onto her friend.
"The guys and I recorded music for my song last week in Calgary," Shane responded while walking over to the couch. He reached into his bag on the floor and pulled out a CD and some sheets of paper.
Then Caitlyn had an idea. "If you give me the lyrics for your song, Mitchie, I'll see what I can come up with while you're recording Shane's song."
"Another fantastic idea, Cait. Shane, can you grab my music notebook out of my backpack?" She then turned back to her friend and asked, "So how did you know we were here?" Mitchie eyed her best camp friend and noticed that Caitlyn blushed slightly.
"I…I…" she stuttered. "I was…" She paused for a moment and took a deep breath. "Okay, Nate told me. We've talked a few times since camp." Caitlyn blushed a deeper shade of red. She saw that Mitchie was grinning like an idiot "Stop giving me that look."
"You have been holding out on me, Cait." Mitchie was now glaring at her friend. "Why didn't you tell me when we talked on Saturday?" Mitchie feigned a hurt look and then giggled. "I am happy for you, really."
"Here you go, love, one music notebook as requested." Shane handed her the book as he rejoined the girls. "Come on, Mitch, let's go find the guys and your other friends and start recording." He paused and then looked at his girlfriend. "Do you think the others would like to do background?"
"We will just have to ask them, but I'm sure they would."
The three of them left the lounge in search of the others. They walked into one of the booths and found Jason and Nate serenading the girls with one of the new songs on the upcoming album.
