A/N: Alright, folks, this is the last update on What We Came Here For. It's now complete! YAY! So now it's November and National Novel Writing Month but instead of working on a novel, I'm going to focus on finishing my in progress fics that I've started post. Next I'm going to finish my old Jonas story "What If". I have one chapter left of that one before it's finished, and then I'm going to focus on "Go Figure" and my old High School Musical fic "East High Drama Club". Wish me luck!

Happy reading!

One Shot #7

Jason finished going through a few things with the Junior Rockers for the performance and then found Caitlyn staring at her reflection in one of the dressing room mirrors. He lightly tapped her shoulder and she nearly fell out of her chair. Jason caught her and steadied the chair to keep her upright.

"Whoa, Caity, are you alright?" Jason asked.

"Fine, just…nervous," Caitlyn admitted with a sigh.

Jason nodded sympathetically. "I know what you mean."

"Jase, what if…what if lose?" Caitlyn asked with a nervous gulp.

He sighed and smiled sadly. "I don't know, but I have to believe that we'll win. We're the good guys, you know?"

Caitlyn smiled softly at him and chuckled. "Are you assuming that all the Camp Star campers are bad guys?"

"N-no," Jason said as he cleared his throat. "Not all of them, just the guys that lead them. Luke and Axel."

Caitlyn took a deep breath and nodded. "Right, we're the good guys, and the good guys always win. Yes?"

Jason nodded and smiled warmly. "Yes."

"Are you nervous? You don't look nervous. I mean I'm jumpier than that frog Trevor caught the other day and Ella's sparkled herself to death and Mitchie and Shane are being all 'Mr. & Mrs. Brave Front' for all of us, but you…you look calm," Caitlyn said observantly.

"Oh, I'm nervous," Jason said with a nod and a deep breath. "I'm just trying to keep it together for the JRs."

Caitlyn looked around to see if anyone else was around before she stood from her chair and wrapped her arms around Jason's neck. She smiled at him proudly. "The JRs are lucky to have you, you know. You're great with them. We're all lucky to have you here, Jase."

Jason smiled gratefully and wrapped his arms around her waist. "And you're choreography is going to knock 'em dead. I know it."

They heard footsteps coming toward them and immediately separated. It was Peggy coming to get them. "They're about to announce us, guys. Showtime."

Caitlyn nodded. "We're on our way."

Caitlyn watched Peggy go before she turned back to Jason and kissed him hard on the lips. His hands went around her waist again as he returned the kiss. Caitlyn pulled away and winked at him.

"A kiss for luck," She said with a smirk as she turned and walked away to join the rest of the group.

Jason gaped at her retreating back before he finally regained his senses and followed her. He was definitely going give his all onstage tonight if he had another kiss like that to look forward to.

It took a minute after Camp Star's name was announced for Caitlyn to realize what had happened. They lost. The good guys lost. Jason turned and made eye contact before she took in a shuddering breath and walked off stage. That wasn't supposed to happen. How did they lose? Their performance was clearly better, and if not better it was certainly more heartfelt.

Didn't that count for anything these days?

She really didn't want to stick around for all the reaction interviews she just knew Axel would trick them into. So she snuck out as quickly as she could and headed for the canoes. She heard footsteps behind her as she reached Camp Star's pier and turned around to find Jason following her.

"Jason," Caitlyn said in a scolding tone. "You should have stayed for the interviews. You're one third of Connect Three. They'll be expecting you."

Jason shrugged. "As long as they get to talk to Shane and Nate they'll be satisfied. They might be expecting me but they don't really need me. It looks like you do, though."

"I'm fine," Caitlyn said as she crossed her arms over her chest defensively.

He quirked an eyebrow at her. "Liar."

"You think you know me so well," Caitlyn said dryly.

Jason chuckled softly. "That's cause I do."

"Fine," Caitlyn said irritably. "Then what am I feeling right now?"

"Equal parts sadness and anger," Jason told her. "Anger because this situation isn't fair and sadness because you feel like you're about to lose something important to you."

"Something and someone, Jase," Caitlyn corrected him.

His brow furrowed. "What does that mean?"

"Without camp how do we do this," Caitlyn said as she motioned between them. "When will we actually see each other?"

"For starters," Jason said as she approached her. "We don't know that we're going to lose camp yet. Brown might find a way to make it work. And lastly, we'll make it work. I'll make it work. Somehow. We'll just take it a day at a time."

Caitlyn bit her bottom lip nervously. "You promise?"

Jason nodded and reached out to hold both of her hands. "Promise."

She wrapped her arms around his chest and hugged him tightly while he wrapped his arms around her shoulders in return. He kissed her temple and whispered in her ear as he held her.

"We'll be okay, Caity. Trust me."

She buried her head in his chest and nodded. "I do."

"Good," He said with a relieved sigh.

They made it back to camp and everyone went back to their cabins to change and then they all met up around the campfire. Everyone looked sad and defeated. It was almost too much to take, Jason thought as he looked around the group. He watched Caitlyn as she joined them and sat down on the ground next to Nate. No one really knew about the two of them, and they tried to keep it quiet to keep everyone from grilling them for details. They weren't really ready for everyone to know just yet so Caitlyn kept her distance in a group setting. But she caught his eye and smiled sadly.

Both Jason and Nate started strumming and before long it became an old fashioned camp sing along. The group paused momentarily as they noticed boats from across the lake heading their way. They were joined by Tess, Dana, and a few other Camp Star campers. Nearly all of them wanted to attend Camp Rock next year, and it turned out Connie was fielding calls about wanting to reserve spots for the next summer. And Tess wanted to come back. Camp Star must have been bad if Tess was dying to come back. She was the most ambitious and hardest working of all of them.

Everyone stood up and the singing grew louder and Caitlyn carefully made her way to his side. She smiled brightly at him as she sang along and watched him strum. She stood up on the log behind him and placed her hands on his shoulders. The song ended and Connie made her way out to them with everything they needed for s'mores and Jason quickly put his guitar back in its case. As he stood up Caitlyn slammed into his chest and wrapped her arms around his neck. She laughed merrily and Jason spun her around as he laughed with her.

"Camp's not closing!" Caitlyn said excitedly as he placed her feet back on the ground.

"Turns out we did win, in a way," Jason said with a smile. "I told you the good guys always win."

"Now what?" Caitlyn asked as she kept her hands on his shoulders.

"Now, we live happily ever after, milady," Jason said with a wink.

Caitlyn chuckled. "We do, huh?"

"Yes," Jason said with a nod as he pulled her closer. "We do. And we start by letting everyone here know that you're taken."

"That I'm taken?" Caitlyn asked with a raised eyebrow. "You better be taken too, Mister."

Jason grinned and lowered his lips to hover over hers. "Caitlyn, I've been taken from the moment we met."

"After saying something like that you'd better kiss me, Gray," Caitlyn said as she fisted the collar of his shirt in her hands.

"As you wish, Caity," Jason said with a smile as he closed the distance between them. As the kiss deepened they noticed all the activity around them stop. They pulled apart slowly to glance around the campfire. Everyone was staring.

Caitlyn blushed and cleared her throat. "What? You've never seen two people kiss before?"

Jason chuckled and kissed Caitlyn's cheek. "They've never seen us kiss before, Lady Caity. I'd say they're allowed to be shocked."

"Um," Nate said as he spoke up hesitantly. "When did this happen?"

Jason shrugged. "Shane came to see Mitchie and I came to see her. We all had our reasons, Nate."

Mitchie placed her hands on her hips and glared playfully at Caitlyn. "So, this has been going on all summer and you didn't tell me?"

Caitlyn bit her bottom lip and gave Mitchie an apologetic glance. "Uh…sorry?"

"You better be," Mitchie said with a huff before she smiled brightly. "I expect to hear all the details later tonight, friend."

Caitlyn chuckled and nodded. "Oh don't worry, you'll hear plenty."

Jason's grin fell and he gave Caitlyn a worried glance. "What does that mean?"

"Don't worry about it, Jay," Caitlyn said with as she winked at Mitchie.

"Oh no, don't tell me that," Jason said. "That worries me even more."

Caitlyn laughed and patted his cheek. "You're adorable."
