Tess's p.o.v.
"I wonder who he's talking to." I said in a hushed tone.
"I don't know, but he said it was important." Caitlyn said.
"Who does he know that's so important!?!?!!?" Mitchie half yelled.
"SHHHHHHHHH" Caitlyn and I said in union.
Penny stiffened a laugh.
"Connect 3 are rumored to be gone until the new year."
"YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COMPLETELY 100% YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Penny and Mitchie shouted.
Caitlyn and I just glared at them.
Penny busted into laughter.
"Yeah, yeah. Just shut the fuck up." I said annoyed.
"Wow Tess, who knew the goodie goodie could curse." Mitchie said in a mock shocked voice.
"I'm not a goodie goodie." I defended myself.
"Compared to them you are. Both of us are." Caitlyn said.
"True" Penny and Mitchie said simultaneously. (they do that a lot)
"Their flight leaves tomorrow morning at 7 am sharp for an unknown destination."
"Wouldn't it be so cool if they came here?" Caitlyn asked dreamily.
Before I could answer, Penny and Mitchie beat me to it.
"SO NOT."
With that they went to Mitchie's room.
"Bitches" I heard Caity mumble.
"Caitlyn!" I said as I whacked her.
"Oh so you can cuss but I cant?"
"Exactly" I said with a smirk.
She just rolled her eyes.
Mitchie's p.o.v.
After we couldn't stand hearing new about Connect 3, we headed to our room (technically its mine, but she spends so much time over here that its basically her's too. Seriously. She even has her own closet in here.)
"Can you believe your sisters?" Penny asked in a half laugh as she grabbed a bottled water from our mini fridge.
"I know right. They're Connect 3 fanatics." I said plopping down in one of my leopard print chairs.
"Who would imagine that you'd even be related to them." Penny said on my low rise stripped bed.
"You do know you have your own bed in here." I said pointing to the bed across the room. (yes, she even has her own bed)
"I know, but I like yours better, its softer."
I just rolled my eyes as I grabbed myself my own water bottle.
"So you staying the night?" I asked hopeful.
"Only if you want me too." she said with a smirk knowing my answer.
"Oh you know I do." I said returning the smirk.
Within 3 seconds we busted out laughing.
"Wanna watch tv?" she asked.
"As long as it has nothing to do with Connect 3." I said.
She gave me a 'duh' look.
We flipped through the channels.
"Lets see……. Young and the Restless," we both made an ick sound " How I Met Your Mother," she shook her head "Hell's Kitchen."
"Ooh!!!! Yes!" Penny said very giddily.
"How many are left and who are they?" I asked.
"Only 2 and they are Danny and Paula." she answered.
"Who do you want to win?"
"Personally I think Danny is the better chef, but girl power all the way!" she responded.
"You are so sexist." I said playfully shoving her.
"I can be." she said smugly.
Turns out this was the first half of the finale. As we watched the show we agreed on these things:
1: Chef Gordon is hot
2: Danny needs a hair cut
3: Angela is a whinny bitch
4: Lacey is lazy
5: Danny defiantly got the better team
6: and cooking is hard
"Damn! Why does it have to be a 2 part?!!?!?" I cursed.
Penny just laughed.
"And to think, I wanted to watch this." she said.
By now it was 7:30 and I was hungry. So Penny and I headed down into the kitchen to find something to eat. After debating our options, we decided to call out for pizza. In less than 30 minutes our pizza was here.
I answered the door as Penny grabbed the money.
"Hello." the delivery guy said cheerfully.
"Hi"
"So one large Meet Lovers with extra bacon?" he asked.
"That would be it." I said with a smile.
I know what your thinking, not the most health conscious pizza out there, but its is so damn good.
"Hi" Penny said walking up.
"Oh, that will be 16.35." he said snapping back to reality.
"Here you go. Keep the change." Penny said handing him a 50 dollar bill.
"Wow, thanks a lot!" he said walking away.
"You realize you just gave him a 30 dollar tip." I said.
"I know, but he seemed sweet and like he could use a little good luck in the day."
"I smell pizza!" Caitlyn and Tess said racing down the stairs.
Ooh, gimme gimme." Caitlyn said reaching for the box.
I slapped her hand.
"Un-un, this is our pizza." I said referring to Penny and I.
"Oh come on Mitch. I'm hungry." Tess pleaded.
"What do you think we should do, Penny?" I asked turning to my best friend.
"Oh, alright. I guess we could spare them each a slice." she said.
Caitlyn and Tess both let out a 'yay' before following us to the kitchen.
After grabbing a few slices, Penny and I went back to my room.
Since we didn't shut the door, a few seconds later Tommy came bounding through the door.
"Hey Tom Tom." I said stroking my energetic little puppy.
Tommy is my 10 week old Pomeranian puppy. He's so adorable! He looks like a little puff ball.
Soon I pulled him up onto my bed with one hand.
As soon as he could reach me, he attacked my face with kisses.
Penny giggled as she came over to us.
"Hello Tommy." she said stroking his back.
He immediately rotated around and charged Penny.
He is probably the friendliest Pomeranian in the world. He loves just anyone. But I'm his favorite, Penny a close second.
Soon he settled down in my lap and fell asleep.
Penny couldn't help but laugh.
"He is so adorable. I guess he ran off his energy and decided to crash." I said looking down at my little angel, gently stroking his soft fur.
"You really love that dog don't you?" Penny asked.
I responded as I did earlier, "You know I do."
After maybe five more minutes Ellie and Dixie, our 2 dalmatians entered the room.
Ellie is Dixie's moma. Dixie was the runt of the litter and after much persuading, we got our dad to allow us to keep her.
"Hiya Dixie! Whos a good girl? That's right, you are." Penny cooed over our 6 month old puppy.
"What? Is this the dog central?" I asked sarcastically.
Then Tallulah, Caitlyn's bull dog puppy, came waddling in the room.
Penny and I glanced at each other, then busted out laughing.
Unintentionally we woke up Tommy. And once again he was a puff ball of energy. Soon he was down on the floor playing with the other puppies while their adopted mother, and Dixie's real moma Ellie, watched from a distance on our rug next to Penny.
Soon Caitlyn came looking for her puppy.
"There you are sweetie." she said lifting her pup off the floor.
"Hey Caity." Penny said.
"Hi guys."
"Well I'm heading to bed. I suggest you do the same." Caitlyn said pointing to the clock with her free hand.
"Ok, we'll keep that in mind." Penny said with a smirk stroking Dixie.
I rolled my eyes and glanced at the clock.
11:00 pm.
After Caity left I turned to Penny.
"We probably should get some rest." I suggested.
"I know."
With that Penny called Dixie up on her bed, and Ellie slept at the end of the bed.
I rolled my eyes and picked Tommy up from the floor. Once again, as soon as he was in my arms, he fell to sleep.
Penny gave an 'awwwwwww' look.
I rolled my eyes and grabbed the light remote and hit the light button. (yes, I have a remote because I'm to lazy to walk to the door and flip the switch) Within a few minutes I was fast asleep.
Shane's p.o.v.
I was having a perfectly wonderful dream of hot girls when all of a sudden the light came on.
I groaned and pulled the cover over my head.
"Shane get your lazy ass up." a familiar voice known as Nate said.
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" I shouted from under my pillow.
"We're leaving in 30 minutes. Get your ass up now or pay the consequences. Or shall I say Maxie will pay the consequences."
He was always making me with the fact I named my guitar. Maxie is a completely appropriate name for a guitar in my opinion. Then it clicked. I jumped up from my bed as fast as possibly and shot down the hall screaming
"NATHANIELCHRISTIAN JONES YOU BETTER NOT TOUCH MY GUITAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
It didn't take long for me to find Jason and Nate in the living room.
"Oh good, your up." Nate said with a smirk.
"I swear you will regret the day you EVER mess with Maxie." I threatened.
"Yeah, yeah. Just get ready. We leave in less than 30 minutes."
"Dude, he will slaughter you if you ever do touch his guitar." Jason warned.
"Whatever." he said with a roll of his eyes.
I reluctantly walked back up stairs and changed.
15 minutes later I came down the stairs and signaled for our assistants to get my bags. A few minutes later they came down with all 10 bags.
"10 bags, seriously?" Nate asked sarcastically.
"It takes work to look this good." I said cockily.
Jason and Nate both rolled their eyes simutanesy, simutanly, simu-whatever. They did it at the same time ok?!?!
"Lets get this show on the road ok?!!?!?!" I asked grumpily.
"Geez, Shane. No need for attitude." Jason fired.
"Whatever." I said rolling my eyes.
After a slight delay we finally lifted off to an unknown destination.
I groaned at the thought.
4 months of pure torture in an unknown town. Oh what could be better? (ketch my sarcasm?)
After 2 and a half hours of flying, we finally landed in a small airport.
"Richard, where exactly are we?" Nate asked as we climbed down the steps.
"Boys, welcome to Dalton Georgia." he said with an evil smile.
"Oh this is so uncool." I complained.
"You'll get used to it. Who knows, maybe you'll grow to like it."
"Doubt it." we said all together.
We all started laughing.
Suddenly Nate, Jason and Richard were starring at me.
"What?"
"Its just that you hardly ever laugh since, you know." Nate said.
"See, the fresh air is doing you good already." Richard smirked.
We all rolled our eyes.
"Lets just get out of here before were spotted by fan girls." Jason said.
"Whoa Jason. You're starting to sound like Shane." Nate said.
"I know, and it scares me." he replied.
I stiffened a laugh. I shouldn't laugh, they were mocking me after all.
After about 15 minutes of driving, we pulled up to a huge mansion. Not as big as our house, but big none the less.
"Ok, so this is the house you guys shall be living in for the next few months." Richard started.
"The guy your staying with is the sheriff of this town and his 3 daughters." Richard informed us.
"Great" I mumbled.
Just what I need, to live in a house full of screaming fan girls. Well, most likely they're hot. At least that's a plus.
"Now just a heads up, their probably not what your expecting."
"What does that mean?" Nate asked.
"Oh you'll see." He said before quickly exciting the limo.
Jason shrugged and climbed out of the limo, leaving me and Nate to climb out on our own terms.
When we walking inside we were greeted by a tall man, probably in his mid-fortys.
"Richard!"
"David!"
Our manager and 'David' shared a quick hug before turning to us.
"Hello boys! I'm Mr. Torres." he said kindly sticking out his had.
Nate and Jason politely shook it, but I just grunted and looked away.
"This is Shane, the press's bad boy, that's Jason, and the curly-haired one is Nate."
"Pleasure to meet you."
"Well I'm going to head back to L.A., see you in 4 months." Richard said as he left.
"I need to head down to the station for a while. My daughters should be up soon. Actually I think their friend stayed the night, so one more girl added to the mix. They'll show you around. But please, make yourselves at home in the meantime." with that he left.
"This place is so lame!" I said as soon as he left.
"I don't know, it seems cool." Jason said as he took a seat on the couch.
Penny's p.o.v.
When I finally woke up, it was 10:22.
Oh well. No school today I guess. Then again I really don't care.
I quietly snuck my way over to Mitchie's bed, and screamed in her face. She fell to the floor.
"PENNY! You could of hurt me, or cause me to hurt Tommy!" she practically shouted.
I glanced at her bed. Tommy sat there wide awake and confused.
"Sorry." I said half meaning it, half sarcasm.
Mitchie's p.o.v.
OOH! Penny could really get on my nerves sometimes.
Suddenly an evil grin appeared on her face.
"What?"
"What do you say we give your sisters a rude awakening." she said gesturing to my stereo set.
I quickly caught on and returned her wicked smile.
We quietly carried the speakers down the hall, 2 in Tess's room, 2 in Cait's.
After we grabbed the mics, we put on the Katy Perry 'One Of The Boys' and flipped to 'I Kissed A Girl'.
You know how Penny and I are die-hard Connect 3 haters? Well, it's the same way with them and Katy Perry, especially the song 'I Kissed A Girl'.
After we pressed play and cranked it up as loud as it could go, we ran down to our selected rooms.
I went to Caitlyn's, and Penny went to Tess's. We barely made it in time before the music started blaring.
Nobody's p.o.v.
With Penny and Tess
Penny barely made it to the room before the music started. Since she put the speakers on 1 side of Tess, she instinctively rolled the other way and onto the floor.
Penny tried hard to control her laughter while she sang along.
"I'm going to kill you." Tess said as she stood up.
"Can't kill me if you can't ketch me." Penny said before darting out of the room and down the hall, still singing.
Shane's p.o.v.
"I am so bored."
"Find something to do then." Jason said.
Suddenly my eyes landed on a door beside a mirror. Soon curiosity got the best of me and I walked over to see what was in the room.
"Whoa, guys come see this!"
Within seconds Jason and Nate were standing in the awesome room with me.
"What is this place?" Nate asked.
I walked over to a desk with several buttons and a computer screen covered in camera screens.
"I think this is the security room."
Suddenly I heard music.
"You guys hear that?" Jason asked.
"Well I'm not deaf." I shot at him.
Suddenly a girl came onto 1 of the screens. Tall, brunette, thin, and being chased by a blonde. She slid down the rails of the stairway to the bottom, and began running again still singing 'I Kissed A Girl', blondie in hot pursuit. Suddenly she came sliding into the living room and did an air guitar. We all laughed. Apparently the mirror was a 1 way mirror, so we could watch everything that happened in the living room. Then I remembered that I had my mini-camcorder in my jacket pocket. I quickly pulled it out and started recording.
"Dude, what are you doing?" Nate asked.
"These girls are hilarious."
The blonde was fast, but brownie was faster, and more cunning. At 1 point it looked like she was cornered in the dining room, but she tucked and rolled under the table and began running, still singing. What was funny was it took blondie a minute to get out from behind there. She was chasing her all over the living room, through the kitchen, and back to the dining room. This time I was sure blondie had brownie, but just before being captured, brownie jumped on the table, slid across on the decorative thin table cloth, did a flip when she reached the end, stuck the landing, and continued running. We were shocked, and so was blondie.
I looked at my bandmates. Jason was amused, but Nate looked like he had seen a ghost.
Suddenly 2 more brunettes came running down the hall. 1 being chased, 1 doing the chasing. Figures, they were still singing I kissed a girl. Except they dropped the mics, somehow got the song to play over the entire house speakers, and were running with a remote which I assume controlled the music. To be honest I was surprised it wasn't a Connect 3 song playing. Everybody loves Shane Gray. Everybody.
Until now I hadn't been able to see shaggy haired brownie's face. (FYI: this is Mitchie) She was absolutely beautiful. Her bangs covered most of her forehead, she had soft brown eyes, a perfect nose, and the cutest smile I've ever seen. She was clearly enjoying tormenting the curly haired brownie.
Both girls came together at the end of the song and sang. They stood there for a second before splitting up, running away from the pissed girls coming after them.
Mitchie's p.o.v.
Since we changed the audio from a cd to M&P's Ultimate Playlist, the next song was I Do Not Hook Up, Katy Perry's version. Soon we began singing to the song. Tess and Caitlyn just groaned. What idiot doesn't like Katy Perry? As we'd pass each other, Penny and I tossed the remote back and forth, turning it up louder each time. Soon it was on maximum volume. I tricked Caitlyn into a revolving chair, and spun her around and around as I ran off. When she finally stopped it, she took a minute to regain stability. Then she was madder than ever.
When I was running through the kitchen, I noticed a bucked of water and dumped it on the tile floor. I stood on the other side waiting for Caitlyn. She charged me, but slipped and fell on the water, still moving forward. I took 1 step back and watched her collide into the glass sliding door. I was laughing so hard that I didn't hear Tess come up behind me and take the remote.
"Hey. That. Wasn't. fair." I said trying hard to control my breathing.
I glanced a Penny, she was on the floor laughing. At least I wasn't the only 1.
"Finally the dreaded music is over!" Tess shouted in victory.
"Your. No. Fun." Penny stammered trying not to fall of laughter as she was walking to us.
Suddenly the door to our security room opened up.
We all froze as we turned to the door.
We weren't dressed, my dad wasn't home, and most likely he or she (or they) had seen everything that had just happened.
Slowly 3 guys stepped out. We all froze, but with different expressions on our faces.
Mine was confusion. They looked familiar, but I couldn't put my finger on who they were.
Tess's was shock, but happiness stirred in. I don't understand why.
Caitlyn's was complete pleasure, like she was very happy that 3 strangers were in our house.
And Penny looked as if she had seen a ghost, not taking her eyes off of the youngest 1.
"Your, your, your Connect 3" Caitlyn finally was able to stammer out.
So that's how I knew them. Well ,I knew their faces, and much to my displeasure, music. My face and posture completely tightened up. I hated their guts, so why were they here?
Suddenly the youngest and normally quietest 1, Nate, I think Caitlyn said his name was, spoke up "Hey Penny."
Say What?
