Alex's POV
Beep! Beep!
It seems that dad's home from the airport. I walked downstairs and into the hallway leading to the door, Xander and Mom joined me. The door opened and came in dad with two brunettes right behind him. Truth be told, I was thinking of the princesses to be bleach blondes, anorexic-looking, fake tan girls dressed in head to toe designer clothes, but they just looked like normal teenagers. They were wearing regular jeans, loose fitting T-shirts, and converse. I remembered the saying, 'Don't judge a book by its cover' and my mom was right, I misjudged them. I really think I'd get along with them easily.
"Max and Mitchie, I'd like to introduce you both to my family," Dad said then taking my mom into his arms, "This is my wife, Theresa, and these are my children, Xander and Alex."
I took a stepped forward and extended my hand towards them, "Nice to meet you!"
The girl with the bangs smiled and took my hand, shaking it. "Nice to meet you, too. I'm Mitchie, and this is my sister, Max." she said then nodding her head towards her sister.
"Hi, please to meet you!" Max said giving a slight wave of her hand.
Xander stood next to me and held out his hand towards them as well, "Name's Alexander, but call me Xander, please to meet you both, too." And Mitchie and Max repeated the same greeting they gave me.
Mom clapped her hands in excitement, "Great! Now that we met each other, Alex why don't you show them where they'll be sleeping. Then in about fifteen minutes, dinner will be ready."
I nodded, then started walking towards the stairs, "Follow me and I'll show you to your room." We walked upstairs and down the hallway to the guest room which is just next door to my room. "You'll both be sleeping in the guest room, and my room is just next door so just call me if you need anything." Opening the door for them and we entered the room, leaving the door open.
Mitchie and Max placed their suitcases on the bed and opened it, taking out a pair of pajamas and a change of clothes for tomorrow, then both closed their suitcases and placed them by the door with their instrument cases, walking back to the bed and sat down.
"Thanks," Mitchie said then looked at me, "And I'm sorry, we know we probably ruined your summer because of watching after us while we're at camp. It's really strange for us to be in this kind of situation, and it's probably weird for you to have to act like we've been best friends since we were kids even though we just met. I'm babbling again, am I not?"
Max laughed and hugged Mitchie, "Yes, you are sis."
I smiled at them, "Hey, it's okay. I'm used to it because of dad's job. I'm actually used to weird things happening."
"Thanks again!" said Mitchie, "Oh, by the way, what camp are we going to? We never got to know."
"Oh you'll love camp, it's so much fun! It's the most famous and expensive music camp in the States, it's Camp Rock!" I squealed. I just love Camp Rock so much! I looked at Max and Mitchie's reactions, but they were silent with wide eyes. Mitchie covered her mouth with her hand and began to laugh, Max followed her reaction a few seconds after. Now I'm totally confused.
"So ironic," Max said grinning after their little laughing fit.
"What?"
"Ever since we've heard about Camp Rock a few years ago, Max and I had been wanting to go, but our parents disagreed with the idea because they thought it'd be dangerous. And now we get to go just because of our safety." Mitchie said, shaking her head.
"Well, don't worry and relax when you're in Camp Rock. You girls are going to have such a blast, you'll forget you're undercover! Just a warning though, stay away from Tess and her little groupie." I said, they'll need to know the status of Camp Rock and its groups, but most importantly Tess, so maybe they could just avoid the drama that usually happens each year.
"Who's Tess?" asks Max.
"Tess is the diva of Camp Rock just because of her mom, TJ Tyler's riches and fame," I explained.
"If she's TJ Tyler's daughter, that must mean she's pretty good, right?" Mitchie asks.
I shook my head, "Well, she's good at trying to be good. Other than that, she's good at making you think that you're not good enough."
"Wow, another Elizabeth, but I think Tess is a lot better than Elizabeth." said Mitchie through gritted teeth.
"Who's Elizabeth?" I asked looking from Max to Mitchie who both had a grim expression on their faces.
Max spoke up, "Elizabeth is like Tess but much more eviler... She made Mitchie's childhood a nightmare, and she's the daughter of the man that's trying to kidnap us."
Oh, no wonder they had grim expressions on their face.
"I wish I could throw her in an ocean filled with hungry vicious sharks and those deadly Irukandji jellyfishes found in Australia." Mitchie muttered loudly enough for me and Max to hear.
"Wow, you hate her that much?" I asked. And both Max and Mitchie nodded. "I'd help you out with that, if you help me out with throwing Tess in it, too." I said, trying to lighten up the mood.
Mitchie, Max and I burst out laughing together. Wow, I'm beginning to like these girls, they're so much different from the other princesses I've encountered during dad's missions.
I checked my watch for the time, and it's time for dinner. "Well, are you girls' hungry 'cause it's time for dinner." I said getting up from my sitting position on the carpeted floor.
"Yeah, sure!" said Max.
Mitchie's POV
Alex and Xander are awesome! Actually this entire family is awesome and great! I was glad they didn't think that we would be like those other royalties, and I was glad that Max and I were getting along easily with them.
After the delicious dinner that Mrs. Santiago made, she told us to go sleep early because we were going to start our journey to Camp Rock early tomorrow morning. Camp Rock was four days away by car. I was pretty glad that we didn't have to travel by plane this time, I'm getting tired of it and I'm still jet lagged from the constant plane rides for the past twenty-four hours. And I also get to see more of America.
Max fell asleep right after her body hit the soft, comfortable king sized bed, big enough for the both of us to sleep in. And I was writing everything that happened since we've left Roselia in my journal. From the minute I was woken up from sleep so early in the morning, I knew there was something wrong but I never expected it would be like this. This situation would lead to war against Wales, and I hate wars, I've already experienced it and I don't want it to happen again. Because of war, I've lost many precious people in my life, my grandparents, and my favorite cousin, Anthony Migliore, I just hope the government are doing something about this.
I was getting ready for bed when I heard some catchy beat from next door. Silently, I crept up to Alex's doorway. Luckily, she hasn't fully close the door, I peeked inside to see Alex on her keyboard, playing and writing notes down on a music sheet. I knocked on her door softly, but loud enough for her to hear.
"Come in!" came Alex's voice. I entered her room which was semi-messy. Books and papers lying everywhere, a few clothes were on the floor, on her unfixed bed or on her computer chair.
Alex turned around from her keyboard and looked at me with surprise in her eyes. "Oh, hey Mitchie, what are you doing here?"
"I heard some music from next door." I said.
"Oh, sorry! I'm just trying to finish this song." Alex said grabbing the music sheet from her keyboard music stand and handing it to me to read. "I need your opinion."
I read the lyrics, it was really good. I then read the music of the song. It has a nice beat but it looked like it needs something, I looked at her and motioned for the keyboard, she nodded. I walked to her keyboard and played the same song but with a little bit of what I had in mind for the song. After I finished, she looked happy and squealed.
"That's it! That's what I was looking for!" Alex squealed and hugged me. We started laughing so loud Xander came in the room half asleep and he looked annoyed.
"Will you girls be quiet! Some people are trying to sleep here!" He half whispered, half yelled then left us to ourselves. We started laughing again but this time, quietly.
"Thanks Mitchie!" said Alex for the billionth time that night and I just shrugged. "So, are you excited to go to Camp Rock?"
"Yes! I'm so excited and nervous at the same time." I said, smiling, "So, what can you tell me about Camp Rock?"
Alex started telling me about Camp Rock, the classes, cabins, and the counselors. Everything about Camp Rock sounds so much better and interesting coming from someone who's actually been there other than reading it from a pamphlet.
Maybe this undercover thing won't be that bad. I mean, I'm going to Camp Rock with my sister, I made some new friends and Alex said that this year at Camp Rock, there will be a few special guest instructors.
This summer is going to be awesome, other than the whole Wales fiasco that is.
The four day drive to Camp Rock was an experience that I want to go through it again! I saw a lot of different cities and places! Many historical monuments and museums. And I've also drawn a lot of sceneries as well.
By the time we finally arrived at Camp Rock, the sun was setting. And there were only two days before the campers come, and for Camp Rock to officially begin. One thing I didn't know about Mrs. Santiago is that she's the Co-Director of Camp Rock, and also the temporary Chef. How cool is that?
We all took our bags and walked towards the Main Office. In front of the office stood two adults, a man who looked like he's in his forties, and a woman who looked around the age of thirty, both had wide smiles on their faces.
"Theresa!" squealed the woman, running up to Mrs. Santiago and tackled her in a big hug. I was surprised Mrs. Santiago was still able to keep her balance with her bags in her hands and the woman clinging onto her. Alex, Xander, and the man all chuckled at the scene leaving me and Max confused.
"Alright Dee, I think she needs her personal space now." said the man walking up to both Mrs. Santiago and the woman named Dee. Dee let go of Mrs. Santiago and I saw her look over to us.
"Alex! Xander! Welcome back!" she exclaimed, waving to us.
"Great to see you again Dee, and Brown!" said Alex and Xander in unison. It's funny how they do that all the time.
"Who may these lovely ladies be?" asks Brown, looking at us with a smile on his face. I smiled at him, he looked almost like my grandpa from the pictures I have of him.
"Please to meet you! My name's Max..." Max thought for a minute, I guess she forgot our last names.
"Torres," I finished, "And I'm her younger sister, Mitchie Torres." I waved to them.
Brown and Dee smiled at us. "Welcome to Camp Rock!" yelled Dee in excitement, "You girls are going to have so much fun! I'm Dee La Duke, the Activities Director of Camp Rock!"
"And I'm Brown Cessario, but everyone calls me Brown. I'm the Director of Camp Rock, and also one of the voice instructors. Well, why don't we go inside before we freeze to death out here!" said Brown, pretending to shudder even though it was pretty warm outside. He then led us inside the building. The inside looked a lot more like a lounge than an office. There were couches, beanbags, a television and a game system on the right half of the room while the other half had a reception desk, where we had to sign in.
Dee walked over to the other side of the reception desk, fiddled with some papers, and grabbed six red passes with the logo of Camp Rock on it. Brown and Dee wore the same passes around their necks. She handed each of us a pass, "I've already signed you all in! Now, who's hungry? Chef Robin cooked her famous Italian lasagna."
"Awesome! I miss her cooking!" yelled Xander, dropping his bags by the couch, then ran into the open doorway besides the reception desk.
"Is that the way to the kitchen?" asked Max, confusion can be heard in her voice.
"Yeah, the office and the mess hall are connected through the kitchen." Dee said before following Xander.
We all followed suit after placing our bags and instruments by the couches as well, retrieving them later after dinner.
After dinner, Max and I were told to be rooming with Alex. Apparently, the organization personally requested that Max and I to get roomed with Alex, Max and I were glad. We are not comfortable living under the same roof with other people that we barely know, with the exceptions to the Santiagos, for who knows how long.
Our cabin, Cabin Tune, was great! It's still covered with posters of different bands from last summer. It had four beds, it seems that we're going to have another cabin mate, Max and I have to be careful around her if she's going to be living with us. I don't want to cause a problem to the Santiagos because of our secrets.
So far, Camp Rock was an amazing place, although the only place I've seen was the Main Office, the kitchen and the mess hall, and finally our cabin. It was too dark outside to actually have a little tour, so Alex and Xander agreed to show us the entire camp tomorrow morning.
