"Question:" Shane whispered as they walked up the vast staircase. His arm would purposelessly brush up against hers, making her smile each time he did it. "What do you say you and I break away later and I finally take you on our first date?"
Mitchie's smile grew. What a perfect idea. "Answer: I'd like that."
"Check, check. One, two. Check, check. One, two. Check, check, check."
They stopped to look at the stage, Mitchie looked at it in awe, not in a good way. This place, this Camp Star was defiantly not like Camp Rock. Not in any way.
"Wow."
Tess appeared next to her, a smile on her face. "I know, right? That's all I've been saying since I got off the boat."
She left, making her way to her seat where the rest of their group of friends were.
Shane and Mitchie shared a look. Nothing good could come from this camp fire. She grabbed his elbow, her arm around his waist. It was too late to leave. "Come on."
"Ready?"
Nate didn't have to look up to know that it was Jason standing behind him, soaking wet.
"We really shouldn't be here. It's so obvious this guy's just doing this to get back at Brown. First, he tries to take down the White Crows, and now Camp Rock." He finally turned to look at his friend, doing a double take. "What is that?"
"Hot chocolate." Jason answered obliviously. He took another sip. "They're handing it out free when you walk in, plus you get to keep the mug."
Nate rolled his eyes.
"What?"
"There's no way I'm staying at this bonfire."
A pretty, dark haired girl heard his words and stopped. She turned around and dazzled him with her smile. "Hey, pouty boy. You better hurry. The bonfire's about to start."
"You know, we should probably go take our seats. I think they're about to start." He told Jason, watching her leave. Was there such a thing as love at first sight? Nate Black had never believed in it, but now...
"Mm-hm." Jason said with a smile. Still no one said anything about the fact that he had gone for a late night swim, but he shrugged innocently.
"Don't mock."
"I'm not."
"Yes you are."
"Okay, just a little bit." He admitted. Nate shook his head and walked away. Jason took another sip of his hot chocolate. "Ah."
"Look, they actually have a real Wardrobe department with incredible fabric! And they let me make this." Ella announced to her friends, dropping down into the seat. She began to pull at something unseen by the others. "Uh-oh. I think I just sewed my scarf to my bra."
The others laughed, teasing her. Mitchie realized how much she had missed having Ella around to make her laugh constantly during the school year, though they texted every chance they got.
She sighed and looked around. "So I thought this was supposed to be a campfire. You know, singing, telling stories, an actual fire."
"Everybody have a seat. I'm Axel Turner. And I'd like to welcome all you rockers, and my dear, old friend, Brown Cesario."
Brown's campers began to cheer, happily. Jason cupped his hands in front of his face and called out. "Yeah, Brown! Whoo!"
"To Camp Star!" Axel finished with a frown. He wasn't used to people giving his ex-friend such a warm welcome; even his campers were clapping loudly.
"Go, Brown!" Mitchie called, smiling as Shane brought his fingers to his lips and whistled.
The Camp director made his way over, dropping down next to his nephew. "
But you all don't wanna hear a speech from me. You wanna get to what a campfire is really all about: singing."
Ella laughed again, nudging her friend in the back with her knee. "Hey, that's what you just said. You're twins." She giggled in her cutesy way.
Caitlyn and Peggy shared a look.
"So does anyone have anything they'd like to play? Camp Rockers, don't be shy."
She glanced around, surprised that no one from either side had volunteered yet.
The girls were nodding encouragingly.
"Well, we'll go, if nobody else wants to." Mitchie said as she got to her feet. Shane, with a knowing smile, handed her his guitar since she hadn't brought her own.
"This song is about me and a friend of mine." She announced into the mic; they had descended the stage, each taking a mic.
We're like a melody with no words
Until we figure it out
We sing la la la la, la la
I know it's simple, yeah
But it's worked right until now
Cause up 'till now, yeah
Every day's been like a dream world, oh
But now you're not just in my head, oh no
Will we remember different summers? I
t's like tossing your heart to see where it lands
Heads is easy, tails is harder to plan
If we start it all over again And again and again, oh
You know I can't help but wonder
What's gonna happen next
I'm a little curious, oh yeah
Every stop that I stood under
When you were under it too
Did you ever think about us?
I hope you did cause I can tell you
That's something I'll never forget
I won't forget
Will we remember different summers?
It's like tossing your heart to see where it lands
Heads is easy, tails is harder to plan
If we start it all over again
Only friends, just beginning
But I hope that we find it again
So we can go from here, oh
Will we remember different summers?
It's like tossing your heart to see where it lands
Heads is easy, tails is harder to plan
If we start it all over again
Again and again and again and again
Again and again and again
Will we remember different summers?
He had been watching her intently, knowing just who that song had been written about. When she would look out into the audience for a split second, her eyes would dart to his and her beautiful smile would make his light up even more.
"That was sweet. But I guess it's time for Camp Star to answer. And, my apologies if we embarrass ourselves. We...We're kind of new at this."
Yo yo yo Yo yo yo
Nobody's gonna wanna get next to me
Cause they know
They know I'll take this one

Doesn't' matter how you approach the scene

The dark haired girl threw a hand into the air, sending her silver bracelet flying off into the crowd. It went straight for a curly haired boy sitting in the audience.
"Ow!" He cried, catching the piece of jewelry before it disappeared on the ground forever. It was engraved, the name reading Dana. "Oh." "
Nate, are you okay?" Jason asked, dropping his hand onto his friend's shoulder.
"And that's how we do things here at Camp Star!"
