Hi guys. Sorry for not updating. My updates this week might be slow since I'm at this church camp thing so I'm sneaking onto my parent's laptop. Also, I won't be able to update next week from Thursday-Tuesday cause I'm going on a short vacation to visit cousins in Canada. Boring. So, thanks for reviewing and enjoy this new chapter.

"Hey what's this?" Jason asked gesturing to a flyer on a bulletin board. The five friends surrounded it. "Talent show huh? I guess we can't be in it."

"Wait, why?" Nate asked.

"Hello? Connect Three?"

"Wow Jas. For once, something you said made sense."

"Thank you. Wait. Hey!" Caitlyn and Mitchie laughed.

"Don't tell me you're gonna sign up for this," Kelly said as she walked up to the board. "Like you have any talent Itch. You're just a wanna-be." Her posse laughed in agreement and made an L with their hands.

"Wow, doesn't this remind you of a certain song Nate?" Shane asked.

"Why yes Shane. How does it go Jason?" Nate continued, catching Shane's drift.

"Um, something like,
Too cool for my dress
These shades don't leave my head
Everything you say is so irrelevant," Jason sang dancing like Tess. The others laughed.

"You follow and I lead
You wanna be like me
But you're just a wanna-be
Love it or hate it."

Once Jason started dancing around Kelly and her posse, Shane and Nate were supporting themselves by holding each other's shoulders as they laughed. Mitchie and Caitlyn laughing too but they were holding their stomachs.

"How was that?" Jason asked genuinely.

Shane gave him a high-five. "Dude, that was awesome! Perfect copy. We should have recorded this and sent a video to Tess."

Kelly rolled her eyes. "You guys are such immature babies."

"No, that's called being a regular teenager who likes having pranking fun."

"Whatever. So, are you gonna sign up Itch? What about your other friend? Ate-something or, you know I don't really care."

"It's Caitlyn," Caitlyn corrected, "and yeah I'm signing up. I'm doing one of my mixes. I'm a producer."

"I don't really know if I should..." Mitchie trailed off.

"See?" Kelly spat. "I told you she'd chicken out. I can't believe you'd go out with this talent less loser Shaney." She batted her eyes at him and that finally made Shane blow up, again.

"Listen, Jelly or what ever your name is. Mitchie is an awesome singer! And she is way more talent than you do! Sure she's not rich but she's a much better person than you are," Shane screamed. Everyone in the hallways was now staring at him and he just muttered, "Shit." After he calmed down with a few breaths, he turned to Mitchie and pleaded, "Please sign up! Please! Please!"

Mitchie's eyes widened. Especially since the whole school was staring at her and because Shane was on one knee as if he was proposing. She quickly whispered to Nate, "Wow you weren't kidding when you said he was bipolar." After she made Shane stand up and said, "I'll do it. I'll sign up."

Shane jumped up and cheered. He also did a happy dance which was kinda awkward. Kelly, being herself, ruined the moment. "A-hem, but Connect Three can't help you. They're professionals an experts."

"Damn it," Shane grumbled. "We won't be able to do our This Is Me duet," Shane complained as leaned his head on top of Mitchie's. She blushed and gave a quick peck to his cheek.

Caitlyn's eyes lit up. "I got an idea!" She looked at Kelly and noticed that her and her posse was going to listen in. "Sorry but Connect Three and girlfriends only." Caitlyn smirked as Kelly rolled her eyes and left with her posse. "Okay, Mitchie. Remember that song on your CD?"

"You have an underground CD?" Nate spoke up.

Mitchie blushed. "No, just a CD where I keep some of my own recordings written by me."

"Remember that song we danced to on the first night I stayed at your house?"

"Who Will I Be?"

"Yeah, that one. What if I made a remix of it? We could do as a collaboration thing for the talent show!"

"Really? You'd be totally okay with that?"

"Of course. It wouldn't be one of my first remixes but your song sounds so fun to work with. Hey, what if you guys tell us if the remix us any good," Caitlyn offered to the boy band. Nate shook his head.

"Sorry Cait. But we're judges," Nate apologized. Now it was Mitchie's turn to lean her head on Shane.

"It's okay Nate," Mitchie said. "You too guys. But isn't this painfully ironic?"

Shane shook his head and laughed. "This is like Final Jam without the whole recording with me deal."

"So where are you guys living right now?" Mitchie asked as they walked out of the school. The boys' bodyguard was trailing behind at a parent approved distance. They understood that it was for their safety but they wanted a little privacy.

"Over here," Shane said pointing to a large bus. It was the one the Greys' normally rode in when they were touring around.

"Why are you guys living in a bus?" Caitlyn asked.

"Our parents are searching for a house in the neighborhood," Nate answered.

"And a place with a lot of room for my birdhouses!" Jason added holding up his "modified" birdhouse.

"Hey, there's this big house in front of mine for sale. No one's offered for it yet," Mitchie suggested. The boys looked at each other and just shrugged.

"We'll tell mom and dad about it-- wait, looks like we're late," Shane stopped as they walked up to their new home. In front of the house were Mr. and Mrs. Grey talking to a realtor who was changing the outside FOR SALE sign to SOLD. The realtor shook the Greys' hands and then left as the parents walked up to the group.

"Hey boys. How was school?" Mrs. Grey asked. "Ooh, new friends?" she asked, gesturing to Mitchie and Caitlyn.

"Actually, Mitchie's my girlfriend," Shane said as he put his arm around her.

Nate did the same to Caitlyn and said, "And Caitlyn's my girlfriend."

"Peggy, who is not here, is my girlfriend and we all met at Camp Rock," Jason finished.

"Wow boys. One summer and you all have girlfriends. Looks like Kenny's the only one who needs to catch up with his brothers," Mr. Grey joked.

"Who's Kenny?" the girls asked.

"Kenny or as we like to call him K.G, is our eight-year-old youngest brother," Shane answered. As if on cue, Kenny ran out of the house and into Shane's arms, tugging on his sleeves and saying,

"Come on S.G! There's a pool! Let's go swimming!" Kenny begged. (A/N: think Frankie!) Shane laughed and ruffled his younger brother's hair. Kenny pouted cutely before looking at Mitchie and Caitlyn. "Hi! I'm Kenny!"

"I'm Mitchie."

"And I'm Caitlyn."

"Can we go swimming with you?"

"Sure. The more the merrier! And by the way, you two are pretty." And with that, Kenny ran back into the house getting ready for swimming. The group erupted into laughter.

"I can't believe my little just brother just hit on you two," Jason was able to make out after laughing.

"Seriously. But can we stay to swim?" Caitlyn asked the Grey parents.

"We don't mind at all but would you like to invite your parents? This could be like a get together," Mrs. Grey offered.

"I don't think our parents would mind either," Mitchie responded. She gave Shane a quick peck and Caitlyn did the same to Nate. "See you guys later."

"Cannonball!" Shane screamed as he jumped in the pool. Kenny followed in suit, splashing Nate in the process.

"Watch the hair K.G!" Nate complained as he shook the water out of his curls.

"Sorry Nate," Kenny apologized with a puppy-dog face. Nate gave in and ruffled his little brother's hair. Jason laughed.

"He's got you whipped and you guys aren't a couple!" Jason yelled.

"Jas, my innocent ears!" Kenny complained as he dived back into the pool.

"Seriously, no talk of stuff like that," Nate laughed.

All of a sudden, electronic-style music started playing and the boys' ears perked up. The Connect Three boys easily recognized it. The three looked at each other and they knew that neither of them or Kenny turned it on.

I'm too cool for my dress
These shades don't leave my head
Everything you say is so irrelevant
You follow and I lead
You want to be like me
But your just a wannabe
Love it or hate it
I can't help the way I am
Hope you don't misunderstand

Cause I'm too cool
Yeah I'm too cool
To know you
Don't take it personal
Don't get emotional
You know it's the truth
I'm too cool for you
You think your hot but I'm sorry, you're not
Exactly who you think you are
Can't tell you what you haven't got
When we walk into the room

On cue, Mitchie and Caitlyn walked out of the house like runway models in their swimsuits. Their boyfriends' jaws dropped and Kenny and Jason snickered at their brothers. The girls winked at Shane and Nate.

"We're too cool for you," Mitchie and Caitlyn sang with the song.

Shane and Nate continued to stare at their girlfriends who continued to dance to the music. They didn't even notice their other brothers. Jason walked up behind Nate and Kenny did the same to Shane. The two boys still didn't notice but the girls did and continued to stay quiet about this. Once the song ended, Jason and Kenny pushed Nate and Shane into the pool. The girls laughed at their childish antics.

"Oh you two are so dead!" Nate screamed as he swam up to the surface. Shane came up too and eyed their girlfriends.

"You two knew about this?" Shane asked. The girls continued to laugh but feigned innocence.

"I don't know what you're talking about, superstar," Mitchie lied while laughing. Caitlyn went to Nate and played with his soaked 'fro.

"You're head's like a mop," Caitlyn said as she played with Nate's hair. Nate pouted. "A very cute mop."

"Oh really?" Nate raised an eyebrow and smirked. Caitlyn suspiciously eyed her boyfriend and did not like the look he was giving her.

"What are you--" Nate cut her off by pulling her into the pool.

Once Caitlyn resurfaced, she screamed at him, "Oh, now you are so dead!" She jumped at him and they started wrestling in the water.

Shane, Jason, and Kenny's eyes widened at the sight. Mitchie just continued to laugh. "Dang, your girlfriend's tough," Shane commented as Caitlyn got Nate in a head-lock.

"Okay! Okay! Uncle! You win!" Nate admitted defeat. Caitlyn smiled and kissed her blushing boyfriend.

"Shane! Jason! Nate!" their mother called out. "You've got more friends from school!"

The boys looked at each other. They knew they didn't really make any friends since almost everyone was a fan and they stayed with Mitchie and Caitlyn the whole school day. But they did find enemies, Kelly and her posse. As if on cue of this thought, she came out with her posse.

"What are you bitches doing here?" Shane spat. Mrs. Grey came out and scolded her son.

"Shane! Language! I thought we taught you better than that!"

"Yeah, Shaney," Kelly pouted. She winked at the Connect Three boys. "Nice shorts." The boys were only in swimming trunks except for Kenny and Jason who both had goggles on, Kenny's on his eyes and Jason's in his hair.

"Mom!" Shane complained. "They're not our friends! They're obsessed fans and have bad attitudes! That's why Mitchie had to wear those extra clothes earlier."

Mrs. Grey thought about what he said and realized that he was right. "I'm sorry girls but please leave. This get together is only for friends and family. Please leave."

"What was that music? She sounded dumb," Kelly said, ignoring Mrs. Grey.

"It was one of our friend Tess' songs. It's called Too Cool," Shane said through gritted teeth. "Now please leave."

Kelly ignored him and continued talking. "Whatever her song was stupid but her name is familiar. What's her full name?"

"Her name is Tess Tyler, now leave."

Kelly started to leave with Nina and Danielle but stopped in her tracks to say, "Now I remember. That," she pointed to Caitlyn's laptop and smirked, "was my cousin."

Why did I end here? You'll see soon! I'm evil...lol. Review!

Ja ne. (See ya)
