Disclaimer: I do not, in any way, own Camp Rock.
I am starting this story off right after the end of the movie, when Shane and Mitchie are going on a canoe ride.
"Did I tell you that you were amazing tonight?" Shane asked the girl walking next to him.
"No," She answered, "But thank you." Mitchie giggled.
"So was I any good?" Shane asked her, pulling the canoe towards the lake and flipping it right side up.
"You were fabulous," Mitchie laughed strapping on her lifejacket, "You are a famous singer for a reason." Shane smiled and splashed her with the lake water before hopping into the canoe. He held her hand when helping her into the small boat.
They heard a crowd of people coming down the hill just as they pulled the canoe into the water.
"There goes a peaceful night." Shane sighed; he started bouncing to the music that the shore crowd was playing.
"Stop!" Mitchie shrieked, holding onto the sides of the rocking canoe. Shane laughed, and he stopped rocking the canoe.
"Oh my god!" Mitchie yelled again, "I love this song!"
Shane took a deep breath and rolled his eyes. "You actually like her." Shane said in disbelief.
"Oh, c'mon." She shook her head, "You can't deny that she is an awesome singer, her songs are so …so powerful."
"She is a good singer, but there is so much about her that people don't see." Shane said.
"Yeah, the only reason you don't like her is because she is as good as you, and you think she might be better." Mitchie said.
"That is not why." Shane said.
"Yes it is, your songs are always competing on Hot Tunes and on all the charts," Mitchie exclaimed, "What other reason do you have not to like her?"
Shane took a while to answer, but he did. "I guess that is why." Shane lied.
"Okay, so what are you going to do after this week," Mitchie asked him shyly, he looked at her with a confused face, "I mean, everyone is going home in three days, where are you going?"
"Home, I guess," Shane said, "For a while, our manager said something about a surprise for us, and so I don't really know." Mitchie smiled. Shane looked at her, desperately wanting to kiss her, but he resisted.
Mitchie closed her eyes and listened to the slow song of Laila Logan. It was her favorite song. Shane watched her and felt butterflies in his stomach. He had never felt this way since… a long time ago.
"Mitchie," Shane broke the silence.
"Yeah," She said, eyes still closed.
"I was wondering, if you would…" He paused, "Will you be my girlfriend?"
Mitchie shot up from her relaxed position, her eyes widened. She swallowed hard and stared at him.
"I know you probably don't want to be jumped with the press, and I know that it will probably be hard considering I won't be around all the time, but I really like you, and I really want to be with you." Shane stopped, catching his breath.
"Shane," She took a deep breath, "You are almost two years older than me."
"What does age matter?" Shane said, "My dad was four years older than my mom, all that mattered is that they wanted to be together."
"You still want to be with me, even though you know the truth about me," Mitchie said, "I am not who I said I was, I am not the daughter of some famous person, I am plain old Mitchie Torres."
"I like the plain old Mitchie Torres," Shane said, "I know that you weren't pretending this whole summer."
"Shane, I wasn't pretending, I really do like you." Mitchie said, still shaky on the subject.
"Then what is the problem?" Shane asked her, "We can keep it secret, if you are worried about the attention."
"We can keep it secret." Mitchie smiled. Shane returned her smile. Mitchie rocked the canoe once again coming closer to Shane. Ruining the balance of the boat for only three seconds to kiss him softly on the lips.
"Wow," Was all Shane could say.
Three Days Later
"Mitchie, you have to call and write to me every day." Caitlyn said, "And keep me posted on Shane."
"Okay, I was supposed to keep it secret, so you can't say anything." Mitchie said to her friend once again.
"Okay, okay, you don't have to tell me that again." Caitlyn said, putting her last piece of clothing in her bag.
"Hey guys," Shane walked into Caitlyn's cabin.
"Hey, Shane," Mitchie said, "What's up?"
"They sky," Shane laughed, "Okay, not a good joke." The girls giggled.
"So Shane, what is in store for you this fall?" Caitlyn asked.
"I don't know, hopefully I will be able to spend some more time with my girlfriend." He said hugging Mitchie's shoulder. Caitlyn shook her head and rolled her eyes.
"Wait, I thought you didn't want to tell anyone." Mitchie turned to him.
"Like you haven't told her already." She smiled at him.
"Okay, you caught me," Mitchie said.
"Okay, back to the thing about more spending time with you." Shane said.
"How are you going to do that?" Mitchie looked at him, "I mean, you are going to be really busy."
"Well, that brings me to the thing I wanted to tell you."
A/N: Okay, that was a really bad cliffy, sorry. I know it is kind of boring right now, but I promise it will get interesting in the next few chapters. Any guesses what Shane is going to tell Mitchie? Review.
