Ok, so this is my first Camp Rock story. It's Smitchie, and it won't be a big long thing. Just a few chapters. Maybe five. Anyway, let me know what you think!

Chapter 1: Their Take
Summary: What was running through Shane and Mitchie's heads during Final Jam? You're about to find out.

I inhaled deeply as the background music that Caitlyn had mixed began playing over the speaker system. 'It's now or never.' I'd so desperately wanted to choose never, but something in me gave way. And before I could stop it, I was marching onto the stage; slowly but confidently.
I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
As I began to sing, I turned away from the audience. I was going along with my song.
So afraid to tell the world
What I got to say
I began to get lost in my lyrics, and had begun to sing more forcefully.
But I had this dream
Bright inside of me
I'm gonna let it show
It's time, to let you know
To let you know
I turned to face the audience as I belted out the chorus, unaware of the affect I might have just had on a certain individual.

It was a hard choice. There had been two insanely talented acts, but only one could win. I was of little help in the decision, seeing as my mind was stuck on the girl. She hadn't performed. It was a crushing feeling of disappointment.
I was so confused and frustrated that I hadn't been paying attention the surprise act on stage. But maybe I should've been. Cause that's when I heard it.
This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be now
Gonna let the light, shine on me
My head snapped around so fast I could've got whiplash. But if I did, then I hadn't noticed. For there, on stage, was Mitchie Torres, singing the song I'd heard two months ago; the song that had been echoing in my head the whole summer. The song that had inspired me, and changed me.
Now I've found, who I am
There's no way to hold it in
I knew the feeling. I was in awe at the voice coming from her. She'd been right there, the whole summer. The two girls I'd been crushing on were, in reality, only one.
No more hiding who I wanna be
This is me
She smiled into the microphone, and the whole camp seemed to be getting into the song. As she paused before verse two, I found some words.
"That's the song," I uttered without breaking my gaze from the stage. To think this whole time I could've found her, if I'd just sang the song for Mitchie. I was still so absorbed with realization that I almost missed a personality swap between Jason and Nate.
"So that must be the girl," Nate realized.
"Ya think?!" Jason asked sarcastically, something he was almost never able to do, seeing as he never knew what was going on. I would've laughed, but Mitchie had started to sing again, and it was captivating.
I stuck my hand out to my uncle. "Hand me a mic. One that's hooked up," I demanded; something I hadn't been doing for a while (thanks to Mitchie). But this was important. Any anger I'd had with her had long since evaporated. After all, if she really wanted to use me for personal gain, she would've sang for me earlier, just like every other girl.
Her chorus ended, and I brought the mic up to my mouth, not caring if she had anything planned for a third verse. This was going to be better.

I paused to take a breath when I heard something. Someone else was singing. I opened my eyes to see Shane singing his new song. And he was staring at me in something like awe.
You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singing
I had half the mind to turn and look behind me. But I reminded myself that there was nothing more than a sparkly, silver wall there.
I need to find you
I gotta find you
But I was confused. He'd written that song for 'the girl with the voice'. That couldn't have been me. I'd only really sang this song once here. How could he have heard it?
You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
He was still staring at me. I decided to question this later. I'd only just realized that I was walking towards him, just as he was me. I pulled the mic up to my mouth and sang with him. It helped that he'd sang this for me a few weeks prior.
I gotta find you
I began to sing my chorus again.
This is real
This is me
Either he catches on to songs really fast, or he'd definitely heard me sing this before. Cause he sang along with me for the rest of the chorus. I reached out and touched his arm, dragging my hand down to meet his open one.
He began to sing his own lyrics again. I started to sing my own as well, but neither of us really got off track. Our eyes were locked on each other. We began to sing my song again. And then it was over. Our fingers intertwined, and I was donning a huge grin. Shane's expression was a giant mix of shock, confusion, amazement, and relief.
We were brought back from cloud nine by the roaring of applause coming from fellow campers. But neither of us removed our gaze from the other.
So, it was kind of short, but the song itself wasn't very long. The first two chapters will be more like one-shots. Please review! Oh, and there's also a trailer for this up on YouTube. I highly suggest watching the random pictures! They'll help you get a visual aid.
