Shane Grey sighed as his limo drove along the road. He didn't know why he had agreed to come on this trip with his band mates. They had told him that it would be fun and a good break from all the work they had been doing on their record.

You see Shane is a member of the ever popular band Connect 3. He is the lead singer. He had formed the band with his best friends Nate and Jason. They had met at his Uncle's music camp when Shane was fourteen years old and hit it off immediately. Ever since then the boys had been inseparable. The next year a record executive had showed up at the end performance, saw the boys perform and within the week they were signed to the record company that had introduced the world to so many talented artists. Now they were the envy of many teenage males as well as the love of teenage females.

As lucky as Shane was, he took many things for granted. He was cocky, self-centered, and often bad-tempered. After the long process of recording their new album he was far beyond the point of being grumpy. He was often ticked off and easily upset. His band mates were two of the only people who kept him sane when he was in one of his moods.

Now they were on their way to Nate's cottage for the week to celebrate and relax. The three truly were like brothers. They could go to each other for anything and had each others back.

"How much longer until we get there"? Shane asked. He leaned back and scratched Nate's dog, Napoleon, behind the ear. Nate replied after checking his watch, "about fifteen minutes." Shane nodded his reply. He couldn't wait to unpack and get familiar with the place. It would be nice to get a little rest and relaxation in. He sighed, waiting for the minutes to roll by.

Soon enough the time had passed and they rolled up the drive way to the cottage. They reached the top and pulled to a stop. Getting out the boys popped the trunk and grabbed their bags. They thanked the limo driver and allowed him to leave, stating they would call if they needed him. The boys turned and took in the scenery.

The cottage was a quaint, two story building. There was a small lake that was within walking distance from the cottage. Also, a fire pit for bon fires was present. Off to the left was a trail for hiking that went on a loop. It led straight back to the cabin.

"Wow. It's good to be back guys," Jason said with a smile on his face as he slung an arm around his best friend's shoulders. Nate thumped him on the back in a playful way. "That it is my friend," he replied as he gripped his dog' leash. With a content grin he asked, "Shall we gentlemen?" Jason and Shane smiled and replied, "We shall." With that the three young men walked inside.

*With Mitchie*

Michelle "Mitchie" Torres checked her bags making sure she had the necessary possessions. She was finally going to do it. She was going to move out of her parents' home. She loved them dearly but she couldn't live off them forever. She was going to stay at her friend Caitlyn's cottage until she could find a place of her own. She was nervous yet excited about what the future had in-store for her. She didn't know what to expect. All she had to remember was that she needed to role with the punches.

Making her way down the stairs with her bags in tow she saw her parents standing there with tears in their eyes. Mitchie froze momentarily as she took in the sight. Then in one swift movement, she dropped her bags and wrapped her arms around them. They instantly returned her hug. Mitchie had no recollection on how long they stood there like that clinging to each other. Mitchie's mother sniffled as she held her daughter close. She was grown up. Mitchie's father held his daughter close. It felt like only yesterday he was holding her for the first time. He remembered the feeling of pride he felt as he held the tiny baby. She was something that was so innocent and beautiful. He couldn't believe she was real. Now, eighteen years later she was moving out. She was no longer a baby.

"I'll call everyday," Mitchie promised. "Oh you'd better young lady. If you don't we'll drag you back here," Mrs. Torres said pulling away from her beloved daughter. "No running off with any boys now. I want to know if a young lad takes an interest in you," her father demanded. With a smile she reassured her father she would let him know as soon as she was romantically involved with someone. Grabbing her bags and with one last hug she left her child hood home.

*back with the boys*

Shane shoved his bag in his closet. He had just finished unpacking and was starved. Declining the stairs he went in search of food. Entering the kitchen he saw Jason at the stove grilling some bacon. Licking his lips like a wolf he snuck up behind Jason and swiped a few pieces from the plate of finished bacon Jason had set on the counter. Quickly, he stuffed it in his mouth.

"Hey!" Jason exclaimed. He half turned to glare at Shane. "You could have just asked." "Well that isn't any fun." Shane replied, a devilish smirk forming on his face. Soon the sound of claws hitting tile alerted them to Napoleon who had made his way down stairs to see what the commotion was.

Soon enough Nate joined them. Sitting at the table he shook his head. "I can't believe we're finally back. It feels unreal." "That is does, Nate, that it does," Jason replied. Bringing over the plate of bacon and setting it on the table he sat across from Nate. Shane shortly joined them. The three young men dug into the bacon. They were after all growing men. After they had eaten their fill they settled back to attempt to decide what was on the agenda for the day.

*With Mitchie*

Mitchie pulled up the drive to Caitlyn's cottage. She parked her car and exited the vehicle. Going around to the trunk she grabbed her bag. Locking the car she made her way into the cottage. It was small but comfortable. Closing and locking the door behind her she made her way up the stairs and into the guest bed room, feeling weird about using Caitlyn's bedroom. She placed her suitcase on her bed and quickly unzipped it. Opening the bag she began unpack, placing undergarments in drawers and her clothing in the closet she started the time consuming task.

-half an hour later-

Mitchie collapsed on the bed. She had been drained after the tearful goodbye and settling in all she wanted was a goodnights rest.

Quickly she stripped down and soon replaced the old clothing with a tank top pajama top and a pair of pajama shorts. Climbing into bed she let the stress of the days activities catch up to her.

*With the boys*

Shane yawned as he climbed into bed. He was tired but happy. He spent the day playing games with Nate and Jason. They went through every game they owned, from checkers to Guitar Hero. Now he was ready for some sleep. With a yawn he slipped off his t-shirt and slid down his pants. He slipped on a pair of sweats. Laying down he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
