So, by request, I decided to make this a story. It's just going to be what the movie would've been like, if Shane didn't forgive Mitchie. Yes it will be a Shess. It may be a bit OOC, just because they're trying to help each other change their ways. I Hope you like it, here's Chapter 2!
Now Playing: Cupid Shuffle
Then next morning, Tess Tyler woke up with a smile on her face. Opening her eyes, she took in her surroundings. Everything was normal. Mitchie's bed was unmade, and empty, and Ella, and Peggy were still fast asleep, curled up in their duvets, they wouldn't awake for at least 15 minutes. She looked on her bedside table, at the red numbers, on the pink clock, which read 8:30. She sighed, and threw the comforter, off of her body, and threw her legs, over the side of the bed, placing her feet on the ground. She pulled the sheets, and the bedspread, upward towards the pillow, and headed toward the large closet, she shared with Ella and Peggy.
She reached up, on the tip of her toes, pulling out a gold towel, from the top shelf. Then, she grabbed a powder blue blouse, with ¾ inch sleeves, off of a hanger. She tapped her chin with her index finger, as she browsed the assorted clothes, for a pair of pants, to match her blouse. Finally, she decided on a pair of white skinny jeans, she draped them over her arms, as she bended down to reach for a pair of burgundy heels. (Think of her outfit, on the Camp Rock Movie poster.) Once she had collected all of the items in her arms, she tiptoed, to the private bathroom; her Mother had scored for the girls. She smiled realizing how lucky she truly was. Tess had been much happier, since last night, when she and Shane hung out. Walking into the bathroom, she quietly closed the door behind her, being careful, not to wake her roommates.
She sauntered over to the shower, and twisted the knob, sending water pouring out of the nozzle. Satisfied, she closed the shower door, and hung her clothes, and the towel, on the towel rack. Placing the shoes, on the floor below, she began to undress. She tossed the discarded clothes, into the nearby hamper. She reopened the shower door, and climbed in, letting the warm water cascade down her tiny body. She grabbed her Coconut Shampoo, and poured some into her hands, working it through her blonde hair. After rinsing her hair of the shampoo, she squirted the Conditioner, which matched the shampoo, into her hand, before running it through her fingers through her hair, making sure to coat each section, before rinsing it all out. Finally, she picked up a watermelon scented body wash, and scrubbed it, all over her body, before letting the crystal water, wash it away, and turning the knob in reverse, making the water come to an abrupt halt.
Stepping out of the shower, Tess grabbed the gold towel, and wrapped it around her body. After slipping on the clothes, she blow-dried her honey blonde hair, brushed her teeth, washed her face, straightened her now hair, and applied some make-up. Finally she walked out of the bathroom, to find the room vacant. Ella and Peggy were up and gone. Tess assumed they either used the locker room bathroom, or had gone to breakfast. She picked up her LG Dare, which lay on her bedside table, to find that it was 9:00. Breakfast was over in an hour, so Tess decided it was probably a good idea to go eat now. She picked up her phone, shoving it into the pocket, of her skinny jeans, and opened the screen door, stepping outside.
Once outside, Tess made her way to the Dining hall, softly humming to the tune of Play My Music. Once she reached the dining hall, she opened the door, and walked inside, to find Ella and Peggy, sitting at a table in the corner. As she made her way to the table, she passed by the other tables, catching tidbits of fellow campers conversations.
"Did you see Michael Phelps swim that 100 meters last night?"
"No seriously, I heard they're going out now."
And
"Are you kidding me? Play My Music is defiantly a better song!"
"Hey guys!" Tess greeted cheerfully sitting down across from Ella and Peggy.
"What's got you so happy today?" Ella wondered, raising her eyebrows at Tess.
"I have no idea what you're talking about." Tess lied.
"Sure you don't." Peggy joked. Tess looked at the two.
"I'll tell you everything when we're alone later." She whispered. The two nodded, and offered small reassuring smiles. Tess heard the door open, and saw Shane walk inside. He stopped at the food table, for a second to grab a buttered bagel, before walking towards the staff lounge. Tess smiled to herself. Shane saw her and shot her a wink.
"Tess, Aren't you going to eat anything?" Peggy asked concerned.
"Huh… oh yeah."
"Do you guys want to go back to the cabin? We have 20 minutes till class starts, I'm sure we could "practice" for Final Jam." Ella winked. Tess and Peggy laughed lightly, and nodded, getting she wanted to know what was up with Tess.
"Sure, let's go." Tess replied, standing up, and walking towards the door, Ella and Peggy at her side. When she noticed Caitlyn restocking the muffins at the buffet table. She stopped, and turned to the two.
"I'll be right back. Stay here, I need to talk to someone." She instructed. The two nodded. Tess took a deep shaky breath, before starting towards Caitlyn.
"Hey, uh Caitlyn, can we talk?" She asked nervously, playing with the ends of her hair. Caitlyn looked up surprised, she could see how nervous she was.
"Sure… I guess, what's up?" She replied calmly, Tess looked a bit calmer.
"I just wanted to apologize, for everything I've done. I just didn't want to accept that anyone else was good, but all along, I knew exactly how good you are. We really miss you Caity all of us; Ella, Peggy, and me, is there anyway, you could forgive me?" Caitlyn smiled.
"Of course I forgive you Tess." She smiled, and hugged her.
"Friends?" Caitlyn nodded.
"As long as there's no more spaghetti throwing." She answered laughing.
"Of course not. Would you consider moving back in with us?"
"I don't see why not." Tess smiled brightly.
"And by the way, I talked to Brown, and you're off kitchen duty."
"No way!" She shrieked.
"Yes way! Come on, let's go get your things, and tell Ella and Peggy, they'll be excited." Caitlyn nodded eagerly, and pulled off her latex gloves, and walked with Tess to the waiting girls, "Oh and Caitlyn… It's nice to have my Best Friend back." Caitlyn smiled back.
"Guess who's moving back in with us?" Tess asked in a singsong voice. Ella and Peggy grinned widely.
"NO WAY!" The squealed, attacking Caitlyn with hugs, Tess smiled, feeling better about what she had just done.
"Get in here Tess!" Ella exclaimed pulling into the group hug. Little did she know, Shane was standing in the doorway, of the Staff lounge, watching the four with a smile on his face?
"So let's get back to the cabin to "rehearse" Ella suggested, putting air quotes on rehearse. They all laughed, before linking arms, and walking out the door.
"Spill." Peggy commanded, collapsing on her bed, they had just taken moved all of Caitlyn's stuff into their cabin.
"Okay fine." Tess replied, closing to wooden door, and the screen door, before lying on her bed. "… So last night, after the whole Mitchie incident, I went to the dock to think, and I ran into Shane."
"NO!" They gasped. Tess nodded, "Yes."
"Soanyway,weweresittingatthedocktalkingabouteverything,andhewasbeingstubborn,andsayinghewashurtthemost,andstufflikethat,thenwestartedtalkingaboutmymom,andourattitudes,andwhenItoldhimIwasleaving,hetoldmeheneededme,andthatwecouldbecomebetterpeopletogether,andpulledmebackdownnexttohim." She said in one breath (So any way, we were sitting at the dock talking about everything, and he was being stubborn, and saying he was hurt the most, and stuff like that, then we started talking about my mom, and our attitudes, and when I told him I was leaving, he told me he needed me, and that we could become better people together, and pulled me back down next to him.)
"Shut up!" They squealed.
"Shoot! We're going to be late for class!" Peggy exclaimed looking at her watch.
"Let's go!" Tess cried, running out the door, with the girls close behind.
"Somebody can't wait to see Shane!" Ella teased.
"Shane doesn't even teach this class Ella." Caitlyn reminded.
"Oh yeah!" Ella remembered.
Once they reached the theater, they found all of the rest of the students waiting.
"Thank God, we made it." Caitlyn panted. The others nodded in agreement, taking their seats.
"Good morning, students. I trust you all had a pleasant evening." Brown greeted walking into the room, with Shane trailing behind him. Peggy and Caitlyn giggled silently and Ella elbowed Tess in the ribs. Tess rolled her eyes, and kept clapping to the beat of the Morning Jam, in a short time, all of the girls were clapping, and dancing in their seats.
"I swear you kids get louder, and louder everyday!" Brown called over all the noise, the kids all stopped abruptly. "Much Better, anyway, I brought my nephew Shane with me this morning, so he could see what we're working with. So, we're going to do a final jam run through. Sign ups, and rehearsals are today." The class all clapped, and grinned.
"So here's the sheet, sign up, find your group, and practice!" he exclaimed, "Shane and I will be around to observe." The class cheered, and started to find their friends. "But… first, we're going to do the Final song run through." The class groaned, and walked on to the stage, into position. "Cue lights, cue music… And Action!"

Camp Rock" (Same as the music video, just no Shane, Nate, Jason, or Mitchie.)
"That was great guys! I guess those dancing lessons paid off." Shane joked. The class stuck their tongues out at him.
"Alright, I have to agree, that was very good. You may all start working on Final Jam!" Brown declared.
"So, do you guys want to run through 2 Stars, or… we could talk." Ella asked wiggling her eyebrows. The girls all turned to look at Tess.
"Uh… actually, I decided not to do 2 Stars." She confessed, as the sat down on the edge of the stage. The girls shrugged.
"Okay… So what are we doing then?" Peggy asked curiously.
"I decided, you guys could do it without me." Tess said just above a whisper.
"WHAT!?" The girls gasped in shock. Tess nodded, and hopped off the stage. "Yep."
"Ella," She started taking Ella's hands, "You're a truly amazing person. You don't belong singing back up; you deserve to be in the spot light. I heard you yesterday with Barron, during Morning Jam, and I heard him ask you to join his Final Jam group, and I think you should do it. They could totally win with you." Ella smiled, and nodded gratefully, Tess smiled in return, and let go of her hands, and moved to Peggy.
"And Peggy, I heard you singing that song you wrote yesterday, and it sounded really good! You have to let yourself break out, and sing like that all the time. That's why I think you should play that for Final Jam." Peggy blushed, "You can win Peggy, I know you can." Tess convinced. Peggy nodded, and thanked her. Tess nodded in return, and turned to Caitlyn.
"I was hoping you'd be willing to help me with my song." Caitlyn nodded, "I have the music and lyrics here, now I need one more person."
"Who's that?" She asked cocking her head to the side.
"Lola."
"So would you consider helping us?" Tess asked hopefully. Lola shrugged.
"I guess so." Lola answered. Tess smiled.
"Great! Here's the music." Tess exclaimed, handing her the lyrics.
After a few minutes, the girls had the first part down pat, and we're pretty excited.
"You sound really good!" Ella exclaimed passing by.
"Thanks!" They replied in unison.
"How's it coming over here?" Shane asked putting his hands on Tess' shoulders. She smiled.
"Pretty good!" Caitlyn exclaimed.
"Oh yeah? Let's hear it." The girls looked at each other and shrugged.
"We're done, but it's not over,
We'll start it again, after the end of the day,
It keeps getting better
Don't be afraid we'll do it together
Come on Come you know
It's your time to move it's my time to move
Come on come on let go
Leave it all behind, you're past and mine.
Gone are the days of summer
We couldn't change them if we tried
But why would we want to let's go where we go to
Our paths will cross again in time
It's never the same tomorrow,
And tomorrow's never clear
So come on come on you know
Our time, our time is here." The three harmonized, Shane nodded, his hands never leaving Tess' shoulders.
"Very good." He commented, the girls thanked him, and smiled gratefully.
"Shane? Can you come over here for a minute, we need your help?" Brown questioned from across the room, Shane sighed and nodded.
"Well, that's my cue. Keep up the good work ladies! And I'll see you later." Shane smirked, aiming the last line, directly at Tess, before striding towards his Uncle. Caitlyn squealed.
"He so likes you!" She screamed. Shane turned to look at her with his eyebrows scrunched together in confusion. She quickly looked around, "…Lola, How can you not see it! He's in L-O-V-E with you!" She quickly finished, pointing her fingers at her. Lola looked around.
"Yeah. Sure. I guess?" She said in an UN-convinced tone. Shane gave them a look, before turning back to what he was doing. The girls immediately started cracking up.
"Nice one Cait!" Tess exclaimed sarcastically. Caitlyn stuck her tongue out.
"Well he does, you should've seen the way he looked at you, and I didn't see him putting his hands on my shoulders! Accept it Tess, he likes you, and you like him. So just do for it!" Caitlyn defended. Tess sighed.
"Well, that's all for today! I'll see you all tonight for Movie Night Jam!" Brown dismissed.
"Thank you so much Tess, I love working with Barron and his crew!" Ella thanked, appearing behind Caitlyn, Tess smiled and nodded.
"I'm glad you're having fun Ella."
"Hey, wasn't Mitchie supposed to be in this class?" Peggy asked, appearing next to Ella.
"I think she is!" Tess exclaimed, "Hmm… that's weird, she doesn't seem to be the type to miss class."
Shane's Dance Class
"I'm seriously so excited, I heard we're learning how he does that trick with the microphone today!" Ella squealed, The girls were lounging comfortably on the hard wood floor of the dance cabin, waiting patiently for Shane, as they did everyday.
"Good Afternoon Everyone!" Shane came casually strolled in to the cabin, in his normal attire, black skinny jeans, a T-shirt, and sneakers. All the kids looked up, and mumbled hellos, and sups'. "Barron my man!" Shane and Barron, stuck their hands out and did a crazy handshake, before continuing to the front of the classroom, as he passed Tess, he winked, and she gave him the 'nod'.
"So today... We're going to learn a very important lesson," Ella squealed, thinking it was the microphone trick, that she had been trying to learn for a while, "...On telling the truth.
Uh oh. Can you say drama?
