Ok, so I would like a little more feedback. Reviews make writing the story all worth while!

It was a sad morning. Connie didn't make too much food, cause people don't tend to eat a lot when they're sad. Mostly there were just eggs, toast, and a variety of juices.

Shane, however, seemed to be in a different mood. When he sat down at a secluded table with Mitchie, she brought it up.

"Why are you so happy?" she asked quizzically.

"Oh come on! Why spend our last few hours together moping? Let's just enjoy it."

She smiled at her boyfriend. He'd changed so much since the first day. He went from an egotistical, self-absorbed popstar, to a caring, funny guy. And she was proud to say she helped with that. (Though, ask anyone else and they'd tell you it was all her.)

Baron overheard this, and he and Sander immediately started a rap. It took only seconds for Andy to started drumming on his table. Lola and her crew got up and started dancing and singing along with them. Before long, the whole mess hall was singing and dancing.

Shane twirled Mitchie, and she ended it with a disco point. The people around them that saw immediately started laughing along with them. Nate and Jason showed up with their jaws slack. They'd expected depression and gloom. Not this.

Mitchie and Shane pulled them into the group.

"How'd this happen?!" Nate yelled over the noise.

"Shane!" was Mitchie's reply. The guitarist's eyes widened. His friend had really changed over the summer. All because of the girl dancing with him.

Brown and Dee showed up a little later.

"Alright, settle down campers!" Brown's amplified voice ordered, though not strictly. Everyone slowly made their way back to their tables still laughing. Caitlyn had joined Mitchie and the boys.

"Boy am I glad I brought this megaphone," he joked and everyone laughed. "Alright, so the buses are here, and we're ready start boarding," he announced a bit sadly. The crowd of teens groaned. "I know, I know. But hopefully we'll see you all back next year!"

Everyone cheered before getting out of their seats. Slowly they all headed back to their cabins to grab their things. Mitchie was probably the slowest.

"Mitchie, come on! I know we have our own bus, but taking forever isn't gonna stop time!" her mother reminded as Mitchie trudged down the steps of their cabin. She dragged her suitcase in one hand, and her guitar case was in the other. Shane had been nice enough to bring the actual instrument back to her cabin after she'd been dragged off earlier.

She set her things down by the catering bus and went off to the regular buses. Looking through the crowd of kids, she failed to notice her intended one standing behind her.

"Mitchie!" Caitlyn called. Mitchie turned around and walked over to her friend.

"I'm gonna miss you."

"Me too." They pulled each other into a hug. "Promise me you'll call my cell ASAP!"

"I promise," Mitchie agreed, laughing slightly. Caitlyn did as well. As she took her seat on the bus, she waved out at Mitchie, who returned it. One down, one to go.

She walked over to the limo. Suddenly she was engulfed into two huge hugs.

"Mitchie, I wish we could've had more time together!" Jason exclaimed dramatically. Mitchie laughed. "Shane didn't happen to make me a birdhouse, did he?" he asked hopefully.

"Sorry, Jase."

"Thanks for getting the old Shane back," Nate thanked.

"No problem," she laughed as they pulled back. Shane was standing behind them, a sad smile on his face. Nate and Jason got into the limo. "So, got any plans when you get home?" she asked conversationally.

"Besides calling my girlfriend a lot?" She smiled, liking the sound of that.

"That's if her suckish phone receives them." They both laughed, but it didn't ease the sadness. "I'm gonna miss you so much, Shane."

"I'll miss you too. But, your house is only like, a twenty minute drive," he reminded.

"Hello, gas prices."

"Hello, rich."

She couldn't take it. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him into a tight embrace. He returned it, probably tighter. She pulled her head back, and leaned up to meet his lips.

Someone honked their horn. Whether it was the limo driver or Connie, neither knew. They pulled back and shared one last sad smile before heading into their separate vehicles.

The drive home was quiet, as Mitchie spent most of it staring out the window.

"Well hey, you still have your birthday to look forward to!" Connie tried to cheer her daughter up. The corner of her lips turned upward into an attempt at a smile. Her mom was always there for her.

When they pulled into the driveway three hours later, they weren't surprised to see Steve on the front porch reading an outdoors magazine and sipping a glass of lemonade. Mitchie smiled wide, having hardly seen her dad the night before. He'd driven home after Final Jam, having had to work that morning.

When he saw the van, he set down his glass and magazine and ran to the passenger door.

"Dad!" Mitchie cried, hopping out of the car as soon as it had stopped. Her dad opened his arms and they shared a big hug. Connie came over and joined in. "Please tell me you aren't planning on making burgers for dinner."

"Uh, well, how bout pizza?!" he offered and they all shared a laugh. Mitchie agreed and they went inside.

Later that night, Mitchie was in her room unpacking. She sighed contentedly. Sure she missed camp, but she missed home even more. It took her getting there to realize it. She walked over to her keyboard and randomly started playing.

And then words started flowing. She grabbed her song book and wrote down everything that came out. She smiled at the yellow paper. The song was gonna be good.

Ok, so I felt I should update, and it was gonna be longer, but I just got really confused about something.

Those tards at CelebTV got bored and decided to do a story saying that Miley started a YouTube catfight with Selena and Demi over their careers and Nick Jonas. Ok, A) Selena just started dating Nick, and those 'Selena's the next Miley' things popped up only a month ago. B) I'm pretty sure I remember Miley and Mandy saying they talked to Selena and Demi about it. And C) IT HAPPENED FOUR FRICKEN MONTHS AGO!

As you can see I'm pretty upset over it. That's why I had to end this chapter early. I just can't choose sides (if there are even sides) since I like all of them. It's almost like my chi has been blocked. Don't worry, I'll fix it. But reviews DO help!

Luv Wendy! :)(:
