A/N: I own Nothing.
Chapter One- Return
Mitchie Torres had once been one of those happy go lucky people, you know the ones who believed that anything was possible if you only believed, but life had hit her hard following her messy breakup with Shane. Mitchie knew that Shane was bitter about the breakup, but when she found out that he had personally saw to it that she would not have any of her dreams Mitchie realized just how much of a jerk Shane Grey was. So, because of Shane's attitude Mitchie was reduced to playing at a bar down the street from the dinner she worked at.
Mitchie was busy wiping down tables for closing when she noticed a customer sitting in the back of the dinner. The man in question was dressed in expensive clothing and Mitchie sighed.
"Sir! We're closing for the night!" Mitchie called.
The man raised a hand and turned to look at her and Mitchie knew who he was at once, this was Axle Turner and the woman sitting with him was his daughter Dana.
"Check." The man said.
Mitchie grabbed their check and walked toward them handing them their check and tried to retreat but Dana looked at her and grabbed her hand before she could leave their side.
"Your Mitchie Torres." Dana said with a smile growing on her face.
Axle looked at her from under his sunglasses.
"I'm sorry do I know you?" Mitchie asked faking confusion.
"It's me Dana! From Camp Star Nate Grey's ex-girlfriend."
Mitchie smiled and hugged Dana.
"Dana Turner, then your Axle. It's good to see you both again even if our last meeting wasn't on the best of terms." Mitchie said shaking Axle's hand.
"Same here." Axle said with a smile.
"So what have you been up to?" Dana asked.
Mitchie made a motion toward her work attire and Dana smiled.
"Yeah, Nate told me about his bothers little fit after you and him broke up." Dana said.
Mitchie silently thanked the girl for not mentioning his name.
"So what about you?" Mitchie asked.
"I work at my dad's studio and during the summer I work at Camp Star" Dana said.
"And have you seen any of the others?" Mitchie asked.
Dana smiled and nodded.
"Caitlyn, Tess, Ella, Peggy and Nate all work at Camp Rock during the summers. Nate's the director now." Dana explained.
"And if she would stop being so stubborn, Dana would be director of Camp Star." Axle said.
"I already told you dad, I can't take the position. I can't always be at the Camp, but maybe..."Dana turned to look at Mitchie.
"What?" Mitchie asked
"You could run the Camp, you're considered a Camp Rock legend. Even some of the Camp Star campers want to be like you. You're a natural Mitchie, I think you should take the job. My dad would be fine with any changes made by the new management." Dana said swiftly kicking her father before he could protest.
"I don't know." Mitchie said.
"If you do this you'll get exclusive studio time and my father will release a single to determine if you good enough for an official album." Dana said.
Mitchie looked at Axle who nodded, after all he was no idiot Mitchie would be a hit.
Mitchie sat back and thought about the offer being extended to her.
A summer breeze blew through trees surrounding Camp Rock as he last performers left the stage and Nate Grey took his place at the center of the stage. It was time Dana decided as she waved the flag in her hands to signal the workers in the speed boats to fire.
Nate was just finishing his welcoming speech when the sound of cannon fire echoed through the camp fallowed by descending baskets from Camp Star. He recalled the last time this had happened, it had nearly put Camp Rock out of business. Grabbing a basket as it moved to land near his feet he pulled the card out of the basket and read it.
Camp Rock is invited to Camp Star's bonfire to welcome it's new director
(No tricks Nate, promise)
Nate recognized the writing as Dana's and even though the two had broken up two years ago he still trusted her word, and besides if Axle was giving up his throne to someone else, they must have been really good to earn his place as director.
"What's going on Nate?" Caitlyn asked as she joined him on stage.
Nate held the mike up and spoke.
"Camp Rock has been invited to a Bonfire at Camp Star." Nate announced.
"You can't be serious." Caitlyn hissed.
Nate passed her the note and turned back to the camp nodding at Tess and Peggy to get the campers ready.
"We're actually going?" Ella asked as she walked up to Nate, Shane trailing behind her.
"Yeah, we might as well try and make peace with the new Director" Nate said.
"You can't be serious Nate, you know that Axle is just gonna get someone who hates us as much as he dose to run the camp." Shane protested.
"We're going Shane, Caitlyn can you help Tess and Peggy get the campers ready."
"No! We're not going." Shane said but Nate pushed Caitlyn toward the lake and took a deep breath and turned to face his brother and his girlfriend, he knew it was a bad idea to allow Ella to bring him for the summer. This reaction was also one of the reason's Uncle Brown had given Nate the position of Director when he decided it was time to explore the world. Shane couldn't be diplomatic about things, he held grudges, hell he still remembered how he had gotten Mitchie blacklisted after he dumped her. It was pathetic at times, the second he left Mitchie the old Shane had reared his head but Nate wasn't having it, He had put Shane in his place right away same way Mitchie did when they first met.
"I'm Director of Camp Rock not you Shane, my choice is final. You can stay here if you want but Ella is required to come along for supervision." Nate said in a neutral tone before walking off toward the Lake and joining his Instructors Ella fallowed behind while Shane stormed off to his and Ella's cabin.
Dana stood at the docks helping Caitlyn usher the campers along the dock.
"Hey Dana, so you wanna tell me who your new director is, knowing your dad he has to be just as bad. No offense." Caitlyn said.
"Actually She has no hard feelings toward Camp Rock, and it was her idea to invite you here. She banned my father form saying anything but what I tell him to and he's to leave the camp grounds right after she is formally introduced to the camps." Dana explained as Tess and Peggy joined them.
"So the new director is a woman, and Axle is fine with her being buddies with us Camp Rockers?" Tess asked.
"Well if he wanted her to sign a contract for a record deal he did. You should have seen her during that process man she was fearless." Dana said as Nate walked up with Ella and smiled at her warmly. It was one of the things She loved about Nate even after there break up they had been able to stay friends, because unlike Shane he didn't harbor a grudge.
"So what do you know?" Nate asked.
"Camp Star's director is a woman." Caitlyn said.
"She doesn't hate Camp Rock." Tess added.
"And she can go toe to toe with Axle and not piss her pants." Peggy added.
"Wow she sounds like Mitchie!" Ella exclaimed.
Every one near her flinched at the mention of the Girl and Dana chocked on the water she had been drinking. She was glad the others had reacted almost similarly. It was then that she remembered how hard Shane had had to work to win their friendship back only Caitlyn had yet to forgive him. After he left Mitchie, she hadn't returned to Camp Rock. Brown had been furious when he found out that Shane had blacklisted her and Nate had become cold toward his brother. The campers where crushed that she hadn't returned. Jason Gray had even gone as far as glaring at Shane for about a month which was saying something considering his usual happy go lucky attitude. Caitlyn had cried the first week of Camp, hell even Tess had gotten depressed with the rest of the camp.
Caitlyn smiled sadly.
"I miss her, hey Nate did I mention I hate your brother?" Caitlyn asked.
"I saw her during the break." Dana confessed.
"Really?" Peggy asked a smile working her on her lips.
"She's playing small gigs and working at a dinner." Dana said.
"Was she okay?" Caitlyn asked.
"She asked about you guys, mentioned a few places Shane could go to burn for ruining her life and shattering her dreams. But other than that she's okay, I asked her to stop by Camp Rock to visit, said she'd talk to Nate make sure Shane isn't around." Dana said but stopped when Tess, Caitlyn, Peggy and Nate all turned to look at Ella.
"I take it Shane is at Camp Rock."
"Yeah, so we won't get to see Mitchie, but Nate promise you'll let us talk to her." Tess said.
"I promise." Nate said as all the girls turned their attention on him.
"Speaking of which, the Director want's to speak to you after the introduction Nate." Dana said before running off to find a seat.
"Remember the last time we were here?" Tess asked.
"How could we not, you left us for this place." Caitlyn said.
Tess blushed and took a seat at the front while Nate stood by the exit just as Brown had the last time they where here.
Axle took the stage after a small performance by his campers.
"Welcome to this little bonfire of ours, this is the second time in ten years that Camp Rock has been invited to one of these events. However I am sure you'll all be sad to here that I will no longer be your director." Axle said.
Whispers broke out among the Camp Star campers and Nate question how many people beside Camp Rock and Dana and her father had known about the change in Staff.
"Yes, well I have personally hired our new Director and I gotta tell you she is amazing." Axle began to pitch the new director to his Campers. Nate jumped when someone bumped into him. Nate turned to see a woman standing beside him, she had the most beautiful brown eyes and a smile that shined brighter than the stage lights. Her long black hair fell in neat curls behind her back and over her shoulders. Nate stuttered as he tried to find the words to speak. Who was this amazing woman that had bumped into him.
"Nate, I see you've met the new director." Dana said from his other side.
"I look forward to our meeting after all this is over." The woman said before walking toward the stage.
"Wait what's your name?" Nate called.
The woman turned to answer but a familiar name drew his attention away form her.
"Please welcome, Mitchie Torres!" Axle had said.
Nate looked over at his instructors as several Cries of "WHAT!" escaped their lips.
Nate looked back to the stage where the woman now stood accepting the mike.
Mitchie, the beautiful woman was Mitchie the girl who's life had been ruined by her brother and she was now Director of the rival camp. Brown was going to have a fit when he visited next week.
"Thank you Axle, now I'm sure many of your instructors know who I am. I am also told that I'm some what of a legend around here but I don't believe that." Mitchie said.
"But you are, every one at Camp Rock knows that if you hadn't of come along Axle would have ruined the camp." A girl form Camp Rock cried.
"And all of us at Camp Star know how good you are." Dana added.
Mitchie blushed and waved the comments away.
"Thank you, but lets get down to business, As the new camp Director I will be making sure that our two camps have no more of this stupid which camp is better argument. I think both Camp Rock and Camp Star have their ups and downs. So following this I was hoping that Nate would allow all Campers to head over to Camp Rock for a real Bonfire Jam Session while he and I discuss a few things." Mitchie said while throwing a glance at Nate.
Nate smiled and waved as the spotlight fell on him.
"I'd be happy to have your campers over, it'll piss Shane off to no end." Nate said with a thumbs up.
Mitchie laughed and turned back to the Campers and smiled.
"You'll find that this summer will be quite different from Summers past." Mitchie said.
The campers Cheered as Mitchie walked off stage only to be engulfed in a mass of arms from her old friends.
"Mitchie!" Caitlyn cried hugging her best friend for dear life.
"Hey guys." Mitchie said hugging them all.
"And you thought I was a traitor." Tess teased.
"That was then." Mitchie said as Nate approached.
"So do you want to talk in your office or mine?" Nate asked.
"I wanna see the look on Shane's face when he finds out I'm the Camp Star Director. No offense Ella." Mitchie added.
"Hey I'm not complaining. I may love Shane but he deserves everything he's gotten. Jason will be happy to see you." Ella commented as they started toward the Lake.
Mitchie laughed as they crossed the lake and smiled at Nate who looked dazed at the sudden information overload. She didn't blame him, she could hardly believe that she was working for the rival camp. Brown hadn't taken it well at first either but when she told him her plans he forgave her and agreed to produce her album something Axle was not too happy about, but when Dana gave him the if you don't do it, you'll lose the contract speech he stopped complaining and started pretending to be civil. She couldn't wait for Brown to come for his visit and wondered how Nate would react when he found out his Uncle had known. Her thoughts where interrupted when Nate's hand was suddenly in front of her.
"Thank you." She said taking her hand and stepped onto the shore and looked up at the cabins of Camp Rock a Bonfire burning and the campers gathered and talking as they waited for the instructors to appear. Mitchie was the first to see Shane running toward them with a scowl on his face.
"Here we go." Nate said.
"Why are they here?" Shane snapped.
"I told you we're making peace with Camp Stars new Director." Nate said his voice cold.
Shane flinched at his brothers tone and knew he had stepped over the line Nate had set since his break up with Mitchie. He knew he had taken that too far but damn it she had just acted like he was nothing to her anyway. Of course the way every one even Jason had turned cold toward him had let him know he had gone to far when he blacklisted her. He sighed and looked past Shane at the woman standing behind him.
"Who's this?" Shane asked.
"This is the Director of Camp Star." Nate Said.
"Shane Grey." Shane said placing a charming smile on his face.
The woman looked at his hand before turning to Nate.
"See you in your office Nate, Come on Caitlyn we need to talk." The woman said before walking toward Nate's personal cabin with Caitlyn.
"What was that about?" Shane asked.
"Did you really expect her to be happy to see you again?" Tess asked before walking toward the campers.
"See me again? I don't even know who that was." Shane said.
"Nate you coming?" The woman called from a few feet away.
"I'll be right there Mitchie!" Nate called before turning to look at his brother.
"Like Tess said, did you expect her to be happy to see you again." Nate said before walking off after Caitlyn and Mitchie, the woman who's life he'd ruined. This was going to be a long and if he didn't fix things with Mitchie he had no doubt it would also be a dreadful summer. What was he going to do now that she had returned.
Mitchie and Caitlyn laughed as Mitchie finished telling Caitlyn about how she had gotten over Shane.
"So that's why you didn't come back that summer." Caitlyn asked.
"Yeah." Mitchie said when Nate entered.
"Anyway promise you'll sing a song at the bonfire when you finish here." Caitlyn asked.
"Of course." Mitchie said happy to do at least that for the friend she had left without even a goodbye.
