"Shane, why do you have to leave already??" Mitchie asked him, tears threatening to fall as they hugged for probably the last time in a very long time.

They had become best friends after Camp Rock and apparently they lived very close to each other. Or at least, Shane owned a condo in the same city as Mitchie lived in. So after Camp Rock he was in his condo all the time, just so he was as close as possible to Mitchie.

"I'm sorry Mitch, but we kinda have to if we don't want to lose our job." Shane replied and hugged her tighter if that was even possible.

No one at Mitchie's school knew that she was best friends with the Shane Grey, because she didn't want people to like her only because of him. So she still as a loner at her school, but she didn't mind because she knew she had the best friends she could've ever prayed for. After school, she would walk to his condo and spend almost all her time over there with him and occasionally Nate, Jason and Caitlyn would come as well. Then Shane would drop her off at her house and sometimes he stayed at the Torres' as well.

"Well, I guess this goodbye then…" Mitchie said as Connect 3's flight was called. She let go of him and Shane could now see the tears that were rolling over her cheeks.

"Mitch, please don't cry! You'll make me cry as well, and I have an image to keep up. I can't be seen crying!" He tried to joke, even though he could feel his own tears filling his eyes as well. Mitchie gasped and playfully smacked his arm while laughing a bit through her tears.

She already said goodbye to Nate and Jason, who also became very good friends with her. Of course, not as good as Shane, but to her they felt like the big brothers she never had. The saying goodbye to Nate and Jason wasn't half as hard as it was saying it to Shane. Of course, she felt the tears pricking in her eyes, but they never actually fell.

"And don't think of this as 'goodbye', think of this as a 'see you later'… It's not like you'll never see me again 'cause I'm gonna die or anything."

"Oh great, Shane! Now I have to worry about that as well!" Mitchie said as she once again smacked his arm.

Shane just smirked, kissed her cheek and let go of her to walk into the gate. He didn't look back, 'cause if he did he would see a sad face that belonged to Mitchie and he couldn't leave if he saw that.

"see you later Shane" Mitchie mumbled as she turned and walked into the awaiting arms of Caitlyn, who was ready to comfort her best friend.

"Mitch!! I was wondering when you'd call again!" Shane said as soon as he picked up the phone when he saw it was Mitchie calling.

"Hey Shane! You know, a phone goes both ways… You could've also called me." Mitchie teased him a bit.

"Yeah, I know… It's just very busy with all this going from place to place, performing in a different city each time… I know we're in Germany right now, but I have no idea which city we are in!" Shane told her. In the background you could hear Nate screaming 'Hamburg, we're in Hamburg!'.

Mitchie laughed, but turned serious when she thought about him touring. Being away from her. "You haven't even been away that long, and I already miss you…"

"Yeah.. I do too.. It's hard to believe it's only been two weeks, and that I still have to go about three and a half months."

"Uhu, I know…" Mitchie replied, getting pretty sad, though determined not to let him know that even though she was sure it was evident in her voice.

"Shoot.. Mitch, I'm soooo sorry but I gotta go. We have to do a soundcheck… Talk to you later!!"

"yeah, b—", Mitchie heard a click, signalling the phone call was ended. "bye" She still said, sounded defeated and very sad.

--

"Caitlyn, I miss him sooo!! Why did he have to go tour in Europe?? Why did I never tell him how I feel?? If I did, we'd be together right now and I could just talk to him without sounding so very pathetic!!" Mitchie whined to her friend Caitlyn, who was sitting next to her on the bed.

"That's because you were too much of a coward to admit your feelings to him!"

Caitlyn persuaded her parents to move near Mitchie so they could spend more time together. Since the Gellars are loaded, they didn't really care and bought a huge house in the same street as Mitchie. They were practically inseparable ever since.

"Cait!! Not helping!!" Mitchie glared at her.

Geez, woman! "Honey, call him and tell him how you feel! Just put it out in the open and tell him you love him!!" Caitlyn tried to reason with her.

"One. I'll never get the courage to do that, ever! Two. Who am I to say that he loves me as much as I love him? As more then a friend that is. And Three. If he doesn't feel the same way, I'm gonna loose a great friend which is something I don't want!"

"Okay, then… Why don't you just write out your feelings? You've always been very good at that."

"That's actually not such a bad idea.. not bad at all.. Thank you Cait!!" Mitchie said and pulled her into a bone-crushing hug since she was excited to start with the idea.

"Uhm, your welcome.. But could you please.. let go.. Can't breathe.."

"Oh, sorry.." Mitchie said innocently.

--

"Hey, Caity! It's been a while!"

"Hey Natey! Yeah I know.. I was pretty busy with trying to keep Mitchie happy… She really is head over heels with Shane."

"Yeah, same here.. Shane won't stop talking about her and how much he misses her.. I can't believe they never even got together after Final Jam!" Nate said as he moved to a secluded part of the tour bus.

"But I have a plan… you just have to help me with it.."

"Sure, what's up?"

"Uhm.." Caitlyn tried to regain her thoughts again about the plan, "Well, I got Mitchie to write out her feelings about Shane being away and her falling for him, so she won't keep them bottled up.. And I was thinking, you guys don't have an opening act yet, right?"

"No, we don't.. Why?" Nate asked, not getting the idea.

"Well, I was thinking maybe Mitchie could do that and let her sing one of her songs, then you could make sure Shane hears the songs and sees she's singing them and maybe Shane and her might end up together…"

There was a silence that lasted only a few seconds on Nate's side. He was processing the words Caitlyn just spoke.

"Caitlyn that's brilliant! They'll be happy because they are together, and we won't get our heads nagged off because they can't see each other!" he said excitedly, since he was getting sick of hearing Shane whine about missing Mitchie all the time, "It's a win-win situation!" He heard her laugh at the last statement he made.

"Okay, so that's the plan!" Caitlyn stated.

"How about you just make sure that Mitchie gets on that stage, and I'll take care of the rest. I'll call you when I know more about it all, like plane tickets and stuff."

"Sure! I knew you would like it!"

"Like it? I love it! Bye Caity!"

"Bye Natey!" Nate chuckled at the nickname he got from her and hung up the phone.

Now, all Nate had to do was make sure Shane wasn't going to find out what he and Caitlyn we're going to do.

First chapter! I decided to turn it into a full-length story anyway and with the idea I have in mind, I can stop it anywhere I want so if I get bored with it, it won't be unfinished. I just hope I won't get bored with it because I love writing, and especially reading, Smitchie.

I know I changed a lot of the scenery like moving Shane and Caitlyn in Mitchie's Neighbourhood, but it's fanfiction for a reason right? And I'm afraid I won't put any Sierra in this story, since – I think you could've guessed by now – it's all gonna happen in Europe. And also because I wouldn't know what to do with her character.

I'm more familiar with Europe then America, so I'll be able to write more detailed and stuff!

Please tell me what you think?? I'd love to have a review, even if it only says 'love it' or 'hate it'. Every review counts, since you took the time to reply! :)
