I decided to only wait until dinner to ask my Mum. Sure, under the circumstances it might have been a little better to wait a little longer, allow her to get over one shock before I bombarded her but I couldn't. I was far too excited to wait.

I pranced into the kitchens just after dinner as Mitchie, not Demi. It would look slightly odd if Demi Lovato went into the Camp Rock kitchens. My Mum was placing piles of plates in cupboards but turned around once I called to her.

"What is it sweetie?" I paused momentarily. Should I try and soften her up a bit first? I decided that would be best but my mouth betrayed me.

"CanIgoontourwithShane?" I slurred. She raised an eyebrow at me.

"Could you repeat that please Mitchie?" I sighed, my confidence wavering.

"You see, Demi's never been on tour because I didn't have a reason to get away from you for long enough so Shane came up with the idea that I should go on tour with Connect 3, both of us headlining." My Mum was silent for a long time. The only clue that she wasn't made of wax was her hand trembling as it gripped a plate.

"Let me get this straight: I find out that my daughter is an internationally famous rock star and hasn't bothered to tell me in the three years she has had a secret identity and less than eight hours later she expects me to allow her to go on tour for months?" I didn't speak. "Mitchie, I'm still not over the shock of Demi Lovato, please just let me think before you bring it up again." I sighed but I knew I should have expected it.

"Okay, I'll see you late Mum." She waved me off half heartedly, already engrossed in her cooking again.

As I stepped out of the door I saw a familiar blonde head bobbing away in the distance and rolled my eyes. Tess was off to try and seduce Shane again. Shane didn't even like her but she seemed obsessed with the idea that they were soul mates.

I decided to go and find Sierra and Lola. Shane was calling his managers to begin officially planning the tour. The label had loved the idea and had promised to sort out the dates with my school if I could get parental permission. Shane was organising the finer details, Jason was off watching birds in the forest and Caitlyn was with Nate doing… I decided I didn't really want to know.

I found Sierra and Lola with the others down on the docks. Barron and Sander were performing some sort of improvised rap by the very edge of the water and I could see Peggy and Ella creeping closer and closer to them. I watched for a few seconds as the boys went tumbling in and came up yelling. It was only then that I ran over, laughing.

"Well done." I congratulated my friends. They all greeted me and then turned back to Barron and Sander who were attempting to pull themselves out of the water.

"Girls are evil!" Sander complained as he slipped off of the wood once again. Sierra laughed.

"That we might be but at least we're smart."

"We're smart!" Barron protested. Lola giggled.

"Sure you are Einstein. Smart enough to realise that you can stand up in this part of the lake."

The boys both blushed red and stopped their struggling as they placed their feet on the rocky bottom. We laughed at their embarrassed expressions and then began to scream as they flicked water at us.

"No!" Ella yelled, holding her hands in front of her face and stumbling backwards. Barron smirked and began to climb out of the water. One startled glance had us all shrieking as we ran as fast as was humanely possible back to camp.

We were met half way to Lola's cabin by a very disgruntled looking Tess. Peggy and Ella paused when they saw her, glancing at each other with slightly guilty looks and then continuing quickly into the distance. Sierra and Lola simply watched her as she came towards me.

"Michaela, whatever your name is, I'm giving you a warning right now; stay away from my man."

"Your man?" Sierra and Lola both asked together.

"Yes, Shane is mine. I don't care what you think is going on between you but he will be mine and sooner than you think." All three of us chuckled.

"First off, he's not interested in you. He loves Demi and I know for a fact that he thinks you are nothing more than a greedy little slut." Tess' expression was priceless but I continued anyway. "Secondly, I'm not interested in Shane that way. He is nothing more than a friend."

"Whatever you say Mary." She strutted off again, being sure to bang into my shoulder as she passed. Lola gave me a quizzical look.

"Does she deliberately mess up your name or is she honestly thick?"

"I think it's a bit of both…" I replied. "Now come on, let's go and find Peggy and Ella before the boys find us."

"Oh Mitch?" I looked at Sierra.

"Yeah?"

"Is your Dad okay? I heard you got pulled out of singing because he was at the hospital." I had almost entirely forgotten about that event and improvised quickly, trying to act naturally.

"He's fine. It was a misunderstanding. He was going to hospital for something to do with work and when he mentioned that he was at the hospital my Mum misunderstood."

"Oh."

"Now lets go! The boys will be here in a sec."

My sentence reminded us of the soaked boys who were no doubt hunting us down and we sprinted off in the direction our other two friends had gone. We found them not a hundred yards away, sitting behind a tree and muttering.

"Boo!" Sierra yelled. Both of them jumped and threw guilty glances in my direction. I guessed that they, like every other girl in camp, had been discussing my relationship with Shane. Everybody seemed to assume that we had a secret relationship going on, even though we didn't. Well we did, but we had always been together, the general public just didn't know it. So we did have a secret relationship, but we were public about it.

I had completely confused myself by that point and just continued on like I hadn't seen the glances. Peggy and Ella suggested we go back to Demi's cabin because the boys would be less likely to look for us there. We agreed, I spun a short story about how Demi had mentioned hanging out with Shane but would be fine with us there so we headed towards the cabin.

What we didn't expect on opening the door was that two buckets of water would come down on our heads, buckets of ice cold, shiver inducing water. All five of us screamed and held our arms above our heads but it was too late. We were already soaked and Barron and Sander had achieved their purpose and were laughing at our shocked expressions.

"What was that for?" We all yelled. The boys just laughed harder. We all shared angry glances and began to attempt to sort out our hair and clothes. Sierra had the biggest problem; her top was white and you could see straight through to her pink bra. Lola pointed it out to her and she blushed a furious red before wrapping her arms around her chest.

"We got you back!" Barron announced, like we didn't already know.

"It was Peggy and Ella that pushed you in!" I heard Lola remind him as I hurried to the bathroom to grab us each a towel. Sander was still laughing in the background when I heard Ella call out:

"There's a wig there!" I gasped and ran back into the room with the towels draped over my arm. The others were all crowded around my bed, where Ella was holding n all too familiar mass of black curls in her hand.

"Look, Mitch. We found Demi Lovato's wig!" I faked a smile.

"Where was it?" I asked, trying to sound like I hadn't shoved it under my pillow less than an hour ago.

"It was under her pillow." We all watched it for a moment.

"I think we should go Demi hunting!" Sander announced.

"Demi hunting?" I asked incredulously. He mistook it for confusion.

"You see, if Demi's wig is here then she must be around camp somewhere without it on. We should track her down, try and find out who she is." Everyone apart from me broke out into wide grins at that point.

"I think that's a bit mean guys, it's an invasion of privacy." Peggy gave me an odd look.

"If Demi wears a wig but you knew her before she was famous does that mean you know who she is?" I frowned slightly.

"Yes, yes I know exactly who she is." There was a moments pause in which they all looked at each other in surprise and then yelled, in unison,

"Who is it?"

"I can't tell you!" I held up my hands and took a few steps backwards. I almost continued with the classic line 'It's not my secret to tell' when I remembered that it was my secret to tell. I could so easily have told my six friends then and there. It wasn't that I didn't trust them, I knew that they would keep my secret just that; a secret. It just didn't feel like the right time to tell. I had managed to spend two years of my life as Demi with only two people knowing yet in the last week at camp four more people had discovered my secret. I didn't want to tally that up to ten. "Do you think that you could just, you know, not go looking for her? I want to talk to her first, before you all go to hunt her down. I'll see if she minds you knowing. You're all really good friends; I know she could trust you with her secret."

"Fine, we won't go Demi hunting." I threw Peggy a grateful smile and then turned back to the boys as I remembered the reason I was holding five fluffy towels in my hands.

"Boys, explain how you knew we would come to Demi's cabin." Sander shrugged.

"We guessed you would go to the place we would be least likely to follow you and we were kind of headed in this direction when we overheard you lot and Tess. We already had the water so we ran ahead once you agreed where you were going and bam- we're here." I sighed, handing a towel to each of my friends. Sierra immediately wrapped hers around her chest.

"I'm going back to my cabin now." She announced. Lola, Peggy and Ella all agreed and then looked at me.

"I'll wait here for Sophie. She should be back soon and I need to talk to her about some... personal business." I improvised.

"Something to do with Demi?" Sander guessed.

"Yes, but it's none of your business so I'm not telling you what it is." The boys grumbled as us we shoved them out and then I bid goodbye to the girls.

I waited until everyone had disappeared from sight before I turned around to open my wardrobe. I pulled out a classic Demi sundress in deep yellow and changed into it, pulling a denim jacket over the top. I checked out the window to see Nate and Caitlyn walking slowly towards the cabin and reached to pull on my wig, securing it carefully so that it wouldn't fall off and give my secret away to anybody else.

"Hey Mitch!" The new couple dropped onto Caitlyn's bed, greeting me in unison and then laughing. I rolled my eyes.

"Do you two share a brain now?"

"No!" They both protested together. I sighed and shook my head as a quiet music track caught my ear.

"Is that my phone? I didn't think I had a signal out here." Caitlyn reached to my bedside table and picked up the glowing object, throwing it lightly to me. I managed to catch it with the very end of my fingertips before I answered it. "Hello?"

"Demi, it's Becky. How's camp so far?"

"Great, I've made some really good friends."

"And Shane?" I grinned. Becky always knew exactly what I was really thinking about.

"Shane and I are getting on just fine. We're bonding really well, we know so much more about each other than we did at the start of camp." Becky laughed and I could picture her rolling her eyes.

"Well I guess you know why I'm calling?"

"The tour." I answered simply.

"Yes, exactly. I'm all geared up for the idea but it's you that's the problem."

"Me?"

"Yes. Every time we've suggested a tour in the past you've said that you couldn't get your parents to agree and I've never pried because I know that you want to keep your personal life personal but why the sudden change of heart?" I didn't want to seem rude by leaving but one glance at Caitlyn and Nate assured me they wouldn't miss me so I ducked outside to continue the conversation.

"My Mum just recently discovered who I am, she found out about eight hours ago that her daughter is Demi Lovato and she said she'd think about letting me go on tour but she'll say yes eventually, I know."

"Well if you're sure…"

"I am."

"Then I take it we can start planning tour dates and locations?"

"Of course, I'll get you in contact with my Mum as soon as possible if you like."

"Thanks Demi. Is there a name that your Mum would like to be known by if she doesn't want to give away her identity?"

I shrugged to myself. "I'll ask her the next time I see her." My eyes flickered toward the cabin and onto the writhing heap that was my best friend and her boyfriend. "Right now I have to go to class, I'll call you some other time."
"Bye Demi." I hung up and stamped into the cabin as loudly as I could.

"Would you please save this making out thing for when I'm not around?" I asked rudely. Caitlyn scowled at me, wiping a smudge of lip gloss from her cheek.

"If you didn't walk in on us without knocking you wouldn't have to put up with it." I ignored her comment and grinned slyly.

"You're getting better at it, I must admit. Nate doesn't have lip stick all over his face this time, just a little but of lip gloss on his cheek." Nate immediately reached up to wipe off the offending gloss.

"I'm gonna go out now," I told them, noticing the way their eyes lit up at the thought of being alone. "Don't get too carried away, stay safe and I'll see you later."

"Demi!" Caitlyn yelled angrily as I left, chuckling to myself. I didn't know where I was planning on going but anything was better than spending the evening shut away with the two of them sneaking love struck glances at each other.

In the centre of camp I bumped into Sierra.

"Sorry Si." I apologised automatically, without realising what I had said.

Looking more than a little star struck, Sierra managed to stutter, "Y-you know m-my n-name?" I mentally slapped myself.

"Mitchie talks about you all the time; Sierra, Lola, Barron, Sander, Peggy and Ella."

"Really? Mitchie talks to you about us?" I nodded and Sierra gave a stifled squeal.

"Si, come on, we're going to be late." We both looked over in the direction of the mess hall to see Ella leaning out of the window.

"Oh hey Demi!" Se greeted me as she pulled back inside. Sierra rolled her eyes.

"I don't think it's hit her yet exactly who you are. Anyway, we're watching a movie in the mess hall, Mitchie's Mum even agreed to make us popcorn. You in?"

"Well it's either sit and watch a movie as I stuff my face with some of the best food in the world or go back to the cabin and watch Nate and Sophie making out. So yeah, I'm in."

"Demi! Get up already you lazy girl!" I groaned and sat up slowly, pain shooting through my back.

"What happened?" I asked as my eyes blinked open and rapidly closed again.

"You fell asleep during the movie and Sierra came to find me to ask me to wake you up." I flashed my eyes open to find the glorious face of the speaker.

"Shane." I couldn't even sound excited, I was far too sleepy.

"Come on, back to the cabin." My eyes fluttered closed again and my stick hands reached towards him. The last thing I was aware of for several minutes was being hoisted into Shane's arms.

The next thing I knew I could hear Shane shouting.

"Open the door already, I've got a sleeping Demi Lovato in my arms." I grumbled against his chest and he pressed a soft kiss to my forehead. "It's okay love, go back to sleep." I registered footsteps and the creak of a door opening.

"What did you do to her?" Caitlyn.

"Nothing, she was watching a movie and she fell asleep." I could hear feet shuffling but barely noticed the movement forwards. Shane was being careful not to jolt me and I wouldn't have noticed that he had shifted an inch if he hadn't carefully placed me down on my bed.

"Shane…" I whispered, forcing my eyes open and reaching for his hand. He turned softly to face me and smiled gently. "I love you."

"I love you too." He told me, kissing the hand that I had grabbed him with. I was half asleep by the time he reached the door. The last thing I saw before my eyes flickered shut was Shane pulling Nate away from Caitlyn and out into the night.

Okay, so shorter than usual and kind of a filler but Demi is on the way to becoming friends with Sierra and the gang which is important for later on in the plot. Sorry it's been so long! Tell me what you think,
