Mitchie Torres wasn't your average teenage girl; she was an average teenage wizard in training with her best friend Alex Russo. The two were inseparable and were always getting into trouble by performing spells, which nearly always went wrong. Alex's brother, Justin, was the sensible one and one morning when he came downstairs to breakfast, he saw Mitchie (who had stayed over night) and Alex giggling.
'Good morning Justin,' Theresa said and she dished out a plate of eggs to him as he sat beside Max.
'Morning mum.'
'Oh, Justin, we have some brilliant news for you.' Jerry smiled and Justin swallowed the piece of omelette, 'you and Max will be accompanying Mitchie and Alex to Camp Rock this summer!'
Justin looked at Max, who looked miserable, and he screamed.
'Sheesh Justin, we're not that bad.' Alex said and Justin glared at her.
'If you were normal people, then maybe I wouldn't mind, but it's your spells that I'm worried about.'
'That's why we are sending you two boys along with the girls!' Jerry clapped his hands together and Justin groaned.
'When do we leave?'
'Tomorrow, 5am.'
'I'll go pack then.' Justin grumbled and Theresa pecked his cheek.
'Don't worry honey, Connie will be going with them, but she'll be in the kitchens so she can't look after them. Besides, you do dancing classes there, you can play music.'
'But I'm not musical at all! It's Mitchie and Alex who have the voices and talent.'
'Oh thank you Justin.' Mitchie smiled and patted his back.
'Yeah, he says that now but you'll regret it later.' Alex crammed the last bit of omelette in her mouth
'Ha! I beg to differ!' Justin said before leaving the table. Mitchie high fived Alex and turned to Theresa, Jerry and Max.
'Thanks for having me and I will see you tomorrow. TRANSPORT!'
Mitchie disappeared and Max groaned. 'How can she transport without knocking everyone unconscious?'
'Well you see, Steve and Connie both kept their powers and naturally, Mitchie could have a stronger bond of magic, coming from two powerful wizards training her.' Jerry smiled and got up. 'Well, I'll go open the deli shop.'
'I'm gonna pack.' Alex got up and left, running upstairs, while Max just stomped out the door.
'Why does everyone go and leave me?' Theresa questioned. 'Why am I talking to myself?'
Mitchie and the three Russo kids arrived at Camp Rock in Connie's Catering Van. They all gasped and got out.
'This is amazing!' Mitchie cried and Alex nodded. 'Lets transport our luggage to our cabin!'
'Whoa, hang on there! Let me do the magic since everything goes wrong with you!' Justin cried and he pulled out his wand and waved it at the luggage. 'TRANSPORTUS LAUGUTUS!' Suddenly everyone's luggage was gone.
'Well guys, lets go look around!' Mitchie cried and she and Alex wandered off with Justin and Max behind them. Suddenly a limo drew up and the one and only Shane Gray stepped out of it, followed by Nate Cross and Jason Bright. Mitchie and Alex froze and fell over when the boys crashed into them. Unfortunately this caught the attention of Shane Gray.
'Hey! Are you spying on us?' he yelled and the wizards got up and brushed themselves off before coming face to face with an angry Shane. Mitchie gulped.
'Um, no, Mr Gray, Sir.' She stumbled on her words
'Well good, because I don't like spies.' He snarled and Alex flared up.
'SPIES! How dare you call us that you jerk! We were just walking around the camp and we came face to face with you!' She reached for her boot and suddenly Justin caught her waist.
'Leave him Alex, he's not worth it.' He said and Alex shoved Justin off.
'Your right, hey jerk, your bandmates are coming.' She spat and Shane turned to see Jason and Nate running over.
'Shane! Leave these campers alone!' Nate cried and Shane rolled his eyes.
'Yeah, you could totally make me a birdhouse or something.' Jason said and Nate slapped the back of his head.
'We will not be making any birdhouses! We are here for music, for the fresh air and to get a nice tan.' Nate said happily and Jason let out a disappointed groan. Alex contained a giggle at their stupid behaviour.
'Hey Jason, I'll make you a birdhouse.' She smiled and Jason suddenly had a grin on his lips.
'Will you? See Shane and Nate, she's nice cause she is gonna make me a birdhouse!'
'Dude, they're girls!' Shane cried and he gestured towards Mitchie and Alex.
'Yeah, and have you got a problem with that?' Justin said, stepping out from behind Alex. Shane glared at him.
'Hey, girls are sissies.' Shane spat and Mitchie flared up.
'Oh, we are so much more capable of doing stuff than you give us credit for! You are just some dumb cookie cutter popstar, whose music messed his head up so bad, he probably had to come here as a sort of rehab facility because he was too much of a baby to get counselling.' Mitchie cried and Shane cracked his knuckles when suddenly Brown came out of the main cabin.
'Shane my man! Nate and Jason! Good to see you, ah I see you have made some friends with some campers.'
'Ha, these people are nothing to us!' Shane laughed harshly and Mitchie and Alex looked at each other.
'Actually, I bet our singing is just as good as yours.'
Shane began laughing and everyone looked at him as if he was crazy. 'Dude, they are actually quite amazing.' Max said quietly to Shane and Shane looked at the girls.
'Go ahead then, make fools of yourself.' He laughed and Mitchie and Alex nodded to each other and started singing.
'Well you know everything's gonna be a breeze, at the end of no doubt just defy the means, I can fix any problem at the slightest of ease. YES PLEASE.' Mitchie sang and everyone was astonished at the power of her voice.
'I didn't know she was that good!' Max whispered to Justin and Justin nodded in response. Then Alex started singing.
'Well you might find out it will go to your head, you can write a report on a book you never read, with a snap of your fingers you can make your bed that's what I said.' After Alex's solo, the two girls began to sing together
Everything is not what it seems when you can get all you want in your wildest dreams, you might run into trouble when you go to extremes because everything is not what is seems. Everything is not what it seems when you can have what you want be the simplest of means. Be careful not to mess with the balance of things cause everything is not.........'
'What it SEEMS.' Mitchie finished and she leant her back against Alex's, both of them crossing their arms. Everyone apart from Shane burst into applause.
'Girls, you two were amazing and I want you two to perform in Open Mike Jam!' Brown cried and Mitchie and Alex shook their heads.
'We can't cause we have to do something really important.' Mitchie said and then she and the Russo kids walked past Connect 3. When they were out of sight, Brown, Nate and Jason started talking about them.
'That light brown headed girl had an amazing voice and I really think we should get Will on the phone, he has to sign them.' Nate said and Jason nodded in agreement.
'Can we please stop talking about these two girls!' Shane yelled and everyone went silent.
'Alright, but it's early days and I think that somehow you are gonna fall for one of them.' Brown said and Nate and Jason chuckled. 'I think it'll be the girl who sang the first verse and the last little bit.'
'Ditto' Nate and Jason chorused and Shane growled before storming off to his and the boys cabin.
Late that day, Shane walked into the woodshop cabin to see Jason and that girl goofing around with wood and glue.
'Jason!' he cried and they both stopped in their tracks.
'Hey dude, um this is Alex Russo, remember, the one who said she would help me make a birdhouse.' Jason chuckled nervously and Shane crossed his arms and transferred his weight onto one foot, so he was leaning to one side.
'Hey, I think I'll just get back to Mitchie.' Alex said, feeling very awkward and she left.
'Jason! What are you doing with her? We have to practice our songs and teach.'
'Oh! Alex is in my woodwork class, how cool is that? Her brother Justin is like way clever and she finds me funny. Do you think I should ask her on a date? Or would that be too obvious that I like her?'
'Hold up! Jason, you like her?' Shane asked, shocked.
'Yeah and have you seen Nate cause you are useless when it comes to asking out this girl.'
'Look, you can't like her and…wait, Nate! Oh my god, where's Nate?'
'Dude, that's was I just asked you that question and whoa, we must be like connected even more than Nate cause we like thought the same thing!'
'And she finds you attractive?' Shane questioned to himself, and then he left.
'Oh man, who's gonna help me with my birdhouse?'
Meanwhile Mitchie and Alex were talking when suddenly they bumped into a blonde.
'Ugh! Watch it losers!' she cried and she stormed off, two girls following her.
'She reminds me of Gigi.' Alex said.
'You ought to stay well clear of Tess Tyler and her goons.' A female voice suddenly said and the two teenage wizards turned to see a girl of about 15 standing there, laptop in one hand and a baseball cap in the other.
'Tess Tyler, as in the daughter of TJ Tyler?' Alex said and Mitchie gasped.
'She is like my idol!' Mitchie cried and Alex turned to her.
'Same here! High 5 the hand girl!' Alex and Mitchie slapped hands and turned back to the girl. 'Cool, so what's your name?'
'Caitlyn Gellar, the new Mark Ronson, camper today, top producer tomorrow.'
'Awesome Caitlyn, wait she has a hat!' Alex cried and she looked at Mitchie and they began their dance.
'What's That?
A Hat
Crazy Funky Junky Hat
Overslept
Hair unsightly
Tryin' to look like Kiera Knightly
We've Been There
We've Done That
We see right through your funky hat'
Caitlyn clapped at their little jig.
'I like it guys, so is this your first year here?' she asked them and they nodded.
'Actually, we're here with my two dweeby brothers.' Alex said and she pointed over at Justin and Max who were laughing with each other, 'the older one is Justin, he's 17 and the smaller one is Max and he's 14 and I'm Alex Russo and I am 16.' She shook Caitlyn's hand before turning to Mitchie.
'I'm just here with the others and my name is Mitchie Torres and I'm 16. Me and Alex have been best friends since birth because Alex is like 2 ½ hours older than me, so we always have a joint birthday party.' Mitchie smiled and shook Caitlyn's hand.
'It's really cool to meet you guys, so do you like do anything musical.'
'Actually we sing and are a band, we have different names, but we haven't decided on one yet.' Mitchie smiled.
'Yeah they're really weird like Wizards of Waverly Place, Torres and Russo, the terrible two.'
'I like Wizards of Waverly Place.' Caitlyn said and we nodded.
'We'll call ourselves that then.'
'I mean, there are no such things as wizards and witches, right?' Caitlyn said and Mitchie and Alex let out a nervous laugh.
'Yep, totally, lets go and meet up with Justin and Max then.' Alex said and she began to pull Mitchie away, but Mitchie shook herself free.
'Hey Caitlyn, you wanna join us?' Mitchie asked suddenly and Alex gasped.
'OMG, I was being totally Gigi wasn't I!' she cried and Mitchie nodded.
'Sure, hey have you heard about Connect 3 coming to camp?' Caitlyn asked, placing her baseball cap backwards on her head.
'Yeah, we've met them. Well, Nate and Jason were cool, but Shane was a big jerk and I doubt we'll be hearing from him again.' Mitchie smiled.
'Jason is so funny. I went into the workshop this morning and we started our birdhouse together, but then Shane barged in and I left cause he was being rude to Jason.' Alex said and Mitchie grinned.
'You like Jason don't you.' She laughed and Caitlyn giggled.
'Maybe I do, so what?'
'Well, what about Riley or Dean, are you over them?' Mitchie asked and Alex nodded.
'Yeah, Riley was a real ass and Dean, he's never shown any interest in me and he's got a new girlfriend, so I think I'm allowed to like a new guy. You know what we have to do.'
'What?' Mitchie and Caitlyn asked.
'We have to find Justin a girlfriend.' Alex said softly and Mitchie burst into laughter.
'I know what we could do, we could put secret admirer notes in his cabin.' Mitchie said softly and she high fived Alex and then turned to high five Caitlyn. When they arrived at their destination, Justin turned and smiled.
'Hey Al, hey Mitch.'
'How many times have I told you not to call me Al!' Alex exclaimed angrily and Justin smirked.
'I dunno, probably around 100.' He said smugly and Alex punch is face.
'Moving on, Justin, we chose a name for me and Alex, well actually our new friend Caitlyn Gellar chose it from our options.' Mitchie smiled and Caitlyn grinned, happy they were including her in the conversation. Justin looked at Caitlyn and shook her hand.
'Justin Russo.' He said and Caitlyn smiled.
'Caitlyn Gellar.'
'Anyway, what are you calling the band?' Justin asked Mitchie.
'Wizards of Waverly Place.' Alex and Mitchie chorused and suddenly Max pointed at Caitlyn's hat.
'Have they done their stupid hat dance yet?' he asked and Caitlyn nodded.
'Yeah, and it was cool, not stupid and I think I'll remix some music for it. Oh I'm Caitlyn by the way.' Caitlyn held out her hand and Max shook it.
'Max Russo.' He said in a very suspicious voice and he let go of her hand. 'Well, I'm gonna go to our cabin, too bad your not in our cabin girls, I mean cause now you have to put your stuff, which is just to sickly to look at, someplace else rather than in my clothes and shoes.' He turned to leave and Alex hid behind Mitchie and threw a small spell at him, which knocked him unconscious.
'Oh my god! Is he alright?' Caitlyn asked and Mitchie grinned and low fived Alex.
'Yeah, he'll be fine. He'll wake up in a second.' Mitchie took out a bottle of water and chucked it on Max who woke up.
'Oops, I guess you'll have to change your clothes Max.' Mitchie said and Max grumped and spat water out of his mouth.'
'Well ssee you around boys.' Alex smiled and she walked off in the direction of her cabin with Mitchie and Caitlyn.
'So what cabin are you in Caitlyn?' Mitchie asked.
'Cabin Rock.'
'So are we. High 10!' Mitch and Alex both slapped her hands and they made their way to the cabin. On the way there, Mitchie bumped straight into a boy and as it was now dark, she couldn't get a glimpse at his face.
'Sorry.' He said and he helped Mitchie get up off the floor and Alex and Caitlyn gasped.
'It's alright, but you should watch where you're going in the future.'
'I will, sorry to be a nuisance to you.' Then the boy walked off, leaving Mitchie pondering on why the voice was so familiar.
'Girl, you do know that that was Shane Gray.' Alex said and Mitchie gasped.
'What?'
'Shane Gray, lead singer of Connect 3!'
'Shut up, shut up! It was so not, a jerk like Shane Gray would just walk off.'
'Well believe me it was Shane. From me and Alex's view, the moonlight shone on his face and backed up our suspicions.' Alex said and Mitchie sighed.
'Alright, I'll go after him, see you guys later.' Mitchie sighed and she ran after Shane while Caitlyn and Alex walked back to the cabin.
