A/N: And here it is. The final installment. I can't believe this started out as a one-shot. I will miss this fic. I had a lot of fun writing it. I wrote this in a pain and medicine induced state so forgive me things seem a little weird. This chapter goes out to all the lovely people who ever read, reviewed, favorited or alerted this story. You guys seriously rock and make my day. :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Camp Rock.


Shane had continued chasing them until by some strange quirk of fate he had chased them into the lake. Well the three of them had jumped into the lake knowing that Shane wouldn't jump in after them because of the delicate condition of his hair. That meant if his hair got wet he would end up with incredibly frizzy hair which would take him an hour or two to fix. And he did not have that kind of time on his hands what with living with two other people who needed the bathroom too despite his best efforts to tell them that hair care was a very important part of his image.

So he stalked away to his cabin but not before promising that he would get them if it's was the last thing he had to do. knowing that Jason and nate wouldn't come back to the cabin while he was there he decided to camp out at Mitchie's cabin and carry out his plan from there. Yes…under all the hair was a head with a brain that could be devious.

He walked to Mitchie' cabin and threw himself on her bed today.

"Erm…Shane anything wrong?" Mitchie said confused.

"Nah…nothing I am going to stay here for a while I prank Jason and Nate" Shane said rolling over and lying on his back.

Mitchie just shook her head in exasperation. This pranking business was going overboard and she had long washed her hands off her friends and her boyfriend.

"If you are going to lie on my bed at least take off your shoes" Mitchie said before putting on her head phones and opening her book.

Shane glared as he took of his shoes. He sat up and crossed his legs sitting Indian style and took out his phone. But realizing he would be caught out he decided to use the landline in the cabin. He hopped off the bed and sat down on the chair next to the phone. He dialed Nate's number and placed his coat over the receiver in order to muffle his voice. He waited patiently for Nate to pick all the while grinning. Finally Nate picked up and answered. Taking a deep breath Shane replied.

"Am I speaking to Mr. Nate Black?" Shane asked.

" Yes you are." Nate said wondering who it was.

"Mr. Black I am your band mate Mr. Gray's attorney"

"What?"

"He is suing you and Jason White for emotional damage and mental suffering caused by your thoughtless jokes and I should also let you know that since this experience has scarred him so much he is thinking of leaving the band" Shane grinned even more at this bit. He was certainly laying it on thick.

"What? This is complete rubbish. Shane cannot leave the band. He knows it was all for fun. Who is this? I know Shane wouldn't sick an attorney on us. I mean we are his best friends? Is this your idea of a joke?" Nate said wildly. If this was a joke then it was so not funny.

"Mr. Black I am as real as you are. We will have a meeting soon. I suggest you be prepared with an attorney" Shane said coldly and stifling his excitement.

"Good day Mr. Black" Shane said keeping the phone down just in time to burst into laughter. Now it was time to sit back and watch his plan fall in to place.

Nate stared at the phone. Had he and Jason really gone that far? Oh god. He and Jason were responsible for breaking up Connect 3. He sat down on his bed with a flop. It was a prank gone awfully wrong. He called up Caitlyn and asked her to come over as quickly as she could.

Caitlyn came as soon as she could; Nate's voice on the phone had really scared her. She walked into the cabin to find Nate lying on his bed clutching his head.

"God…Nate what happened? You really scared me." Caitlyn said sitting down next to Nate and smoothing his curls.

Shane is suing me and Jason for emotional damage and mental suffering" Nate said keeping his eyes closed.

"What?" Caitlyn said horrified. How a prank could go so awry she had never known until now.

"It's the truth Caitlyn, I just had a call. And I don't think it was a prank either. And also Shane's attorney says he wants to leave the band" Nate said rubbing his temples. It seemed like he had the beginning of a monster-sized head ache which wasn't going to go away any time soon.

Caitlyn flopped down next to him. What was she going to do now? This whole thing was her fault and poor Jason had been dragged into it. Why o why did things blow in her face so spectacularly sometimes?

Jason burst into the room. He looked wild and confused.

"Nate I just got a call from some attorney person. Is it true?" he said running unto the bed.

"Yes Jason. It is" Nate said.

"We are so screwed" Jason said throwing himself into a chair. What he said was so simple but so tellingly indicative of their current predicament.

"You know what we should do. I think we should go apologize to Shane. Grovel, beg, plead do anything that might reverse this" Caitlyn said sitting up her natural optimism trying to reassert itself.

Nate and Jason continued to remain stationary.

"Come on guys. At least let us try. So if he still does not forgive us, we can rest with the fact that at least we tried to apologize" Caitlyn said loudly trying to inject some pep into the dismal atmosphere of the cabin room.

"She is right. We will never know until we've tried" Jason said standing up and smiling at Caitlyn.

"Fine. We'll give it a shot" Nate said.

All three of them walked out hopeful, determined, scared, and nervous a multitude of emotions running through them. Nate called up Shane and asked him where he was and after much begging and pleading Shane told them he was in Mitchie's cabin.

When Shane heard Nate's voice on the phone he knew that the plan had worked. And he was happy. Know they would at least feel what he had felt when they pranked him. He was now brimming with anticipation to see their reactions.

Nate Jason and Caitlyn entered the cabin tentatively. Shane was sitting in a chair looking murderous and Mitchie was sitting and reading a book. When she saw them enter she just smiled and left the room.

"This is my entire fault Shane. So please don't punish Jason and Nate for it. If it weren't for me. They wouldn't have even been a part of all of this. You cannot sue them; they are your best friends. And you most definitely cannot leave the band for a reason like this. You really cant" Caitlyn said her voice taking on a pleading note.

"We are sorry man. Please don't break up the band. We will take any other punishment you want to give us" Nate and Jason said together quietly. Shane just continued staring at them. Tears began welling up in Caitlyn's eyes and Jason and Nate looked like they were ready for the earth to open up and swallow them. Finally Shane could not take it anymore.

"I…gotcha!" he said grinning.

The three looked at him mystified before it slowly dawned on them. Shane had pranked them back. They did not know whether they were happy or mad. All three of them slowly advanced towards him and lifted him up in a tight grip.

They marched him out of the door ignoring his protests. They went up to the lake and then threw him in. Shane came out of the water spluttering and gasping.

"Now we are even "Caitlyn said as she hugged him. Shane laughed and hugged her back while Jason and Nate also joined it.

Mitchie took a photo of the four of them standing together. Shane dripping wet, Jason smiling and Nate and Caitlyn standing arm in arm. The photo was framed for posterity and hung in the dining hall joining many others that held similarly captured snippets of life at camp.

Life would move on and camp would continue with newer people joining it and making memories. But for Nate and Caitlyn Camp Rock would always be the place where one night a guy and a girl met in a dance studio, fell into numerous bushes along the way, kissed under the cover of those bushes and ultimately fell in love.
