"I can't believe you talked me into this."

"You get to go to Camp Rock for the summer!" Mitchie exclaimed, "What's so bad about that?"

"Maybe the fact that I'm not actually going to Camp Rock for the camp itself, but helping out your mom in the kitchen," Ivy pointed out as they were unloading some boxes from Connie's Catering truck.

"Hey," Mitchie said, handing one of the kitchen employees a box of utensils, "You were the one complaining that you'd be alone all summer. This way, you still get to see me everyday! Plus, you're getting paid. And I'm sure Brown and my mom will let you off a lot, like I did last year. Besides, this way, you'll be way to busy to even think about Nate."

"Mitchieee," Ivy drawled, "This whole camp is about music. How am I not supposed to think about Nate when I hear all this music? Music is his life."

"Ivy," she said, grabbing her cousin's shoulders and staring her in the eye. "I love you. I love Nate. And I know you love Nate. But you made your choice. You have to get over it. And I think a summer at Camp Rock will do wonders."

Ivy pouted. "Fine," she said, grabbing a box of some random cookware. "I'm just gonna go take this to Aunt Connie in the kitchen. I'll catch up with you later."

"Dude! I can't believe Connect 3 is back together where we connected!" Jason exclaimed as he jumped out of the limo, full of excitement.

Shane came out after him, a smile on his face. He took a deep breath as memories of his summer at Camp Rock the year before returning. "I know. I'm so glad you guys decided to join me this year."

"For the record, I didn't decide to join you. I was forced by you two brutes to come along this summer," Nate said crankily as he, too, exited the limo.

"Stop being such a Shane and be happy that we get to spend the summer back here together!" Jason exclaimed.

"Hey, did Jason just insult me?" Shane asked, giving the taller boy an odd look, as he just smiled back innocently. Nate just rolled his eyes. "Hey, isn't that Mitchie over there?" he asked, pointing over the the huge catering truck.

"Yeah. I'm surprised she hasn't mobbed you already," Nate said.

"She doesn't know I'm here," Shane replied, "I wanted it to be a surprise."

"Well, c'mon, let's go surprise her now!" Jason exclaimed, running off to greet Mitchie.

"Hey, wait up, she's MY girlfriend!" Shane called after the taller boy, laughing and chasing him. Nate just rolled his eyes with a small smile as he followed at a slower pace.

"Umph," Mitchie huffed as Jason bear-hugged her. "Jason?"

"SURPRISE!" Jason yelled out excitedly.

"Jason," Shane whined. "She's MY girlfriend. I wanted to be the one to surprise her." He grinned as Jason let go of Mitchie, and he grabbed her in his arms, placing a soft kiss on her lips.

"Shane?" Mitchie said, eyes wide with surprise. "If you're here... And Jason's here... That must mean..."

"Hey, Mitchie," Nate greeted softly.

"Nate," Mitchie said. Her jaw slacked and her face paled.

"Mitchie, why don't you look excited to see us?" Shane asked, a little hurt.

"Uhm, hang on," Mitchie said, pulling out her cell phone, "I just have to make a quick call." She turned her back to boys as she hit number two speed-dial for Ivy. She had to warn her. She nearly stomped on her cell phone in frustration as she got the mechanical recording saying she had no signal. Darn woods!

"Mitchie, is everything alright?" Shane asked, worried about his girlfriend's odd behavior.

"Yeah! I'm just fine!" Mitchie exclaimed overly chipper. "I just have to... Go see my mom about something! Yeah, that's it! I'll see you guys later!" And she ran off. Shane sent an odd look to Jason and Nate. Jason just shrugged and started whistling as Nate was off in la-la land.

"Guys, something's wrong. Let's go check it out," Shane said as he dragged his two friends in the direction where Mitchie was headed.

"IVY!" Mitchie yelled as she burst into the kitchen, where Ivy and Connie were unpacking boxes. Ivy looked up, startled, eyes wide.

"Yeah, Mitchie?" Ivy asked. Mitchie was doubled over, breathing heavily from running. She couldn't speak. "Mitchie, are you alright?" Mitchie nodded, holding up a finger.

"Shane... Jason..." Mitchie got out before Shane entered the kitchen.

"Mitchie, what's going..." Shane started, but trailed off, seeing Ivy.

"Ivy," Shane said to himself, the pieces coming together.

"She fucking told you," Ivy burst out of nowhere.

"What?" Shane asked, honestly confused.

"You're not pissed anymore. Mitchie told you the truth," Ivy accused, gaze darting accusingly to her cousin. Shane looked at her guiltily, but was spared any more inquisition by the small girl when the other two members of Connect 3 entered the kitchen.

Time seemed to stand still for Ivy as Nate's eyes met hers.

"Ivy..."

So here's the prologue. I know most of this was in the trailer, but I hope you still take the time out to review.

As you can see, the sequel still has no title! :( I'm totally blocked. I need some ideas! And I know it's short, but it's just the prologue.

It may be a while before the first chapter is posted because I have a bunch of summer assignments I actually have to do now. And then school starts up September 2, so I apologize in advance! I'll try my hardest to update as often as possible!
