'Mitchie are you okay?' Caitlyn opened the door to their bed/bedroom, to see Mitchie huddled up in one corner of the bed, crying into her arms. 'Mitch?' No response. Caitlyn decided to leave her, grabbed her duvet and her mobile, and walked into the living room, setting up camp on the sofa for the night.

'Cait, we're here!' Caitlyn looked up from her laptop and laughed at Mitchie spinning around in the hallway. Over the past week, Mitchie had been quiet and had isolated herself from others, but if there was one thing to get her excited, it would be arriving in Lima. From outside of the bus, the girls could here screeches of anticipation from awaiting fans.

'Girls, I'll give you five minutes to get ready, but then we're gonna go to a press conference. Okay?' Connie said, peeking her head into the hallway.

'Great mom.'

'Thanks Connie.' The girls said, before rushing around to get ready. Caitlyn pulled on a gray T-shirt and some purple skinny jeans, tying a hoodie around her waist and putting on her favourite pair of Converse.

Mitchie pulled on a fresh pair of jeans and a black long shirt, some blue Flats and her D&G sunglasses. She checked to make sure that she still had her guitar-pick necklace on before meeting up with Caitlyn at the front of the bus. (A/N - Outfit links on my profile)

'Ready?' Christy had been waiting for them.

'Yep!'

'So, when you go out, there's gonna be thousands of people waiting. Give a couple of High-Fives and keep smiling, but don't waste too much time. We've got to get to the conference, and there'll be time for fans later at the meet-and-greet. Oh, and by the way, the press-conference is gonna be in English. It's easier, and most Peruvian's speak it anyway.' She briefed them before opening the door. Immediately the girls were overcome with people screaming at them in Spanish, '¡Te queremos! Aaaah! Mitchie y Caitlyn! Oh Mi Dios! Están aquí!' The girls pushed through the crowd, helped by Big Bob, the bodyguard, and made their way to the big stage.

Christy spoke into the microphone, 'Settle down please!' She said and people began to quieten down, 'Connect 3's newest opening act, Mitchie Torres, and her producer, Caitlyn Geller, will be here for a short press-conference, but only short, because they need to get settled before the concert tonight.' She said, before turning around to the girls and mouthing Good Luck too them. They sat down at the table with the microphones in front. Christy pointed at a reporter near the front.

'Chantal Williams - Girls, will you be performing at every concert?'

Mitchie took the microphone, 'We will be going on the whole tour with the guys, and hope to be at every concert.'

'Stephen Frost - Do you know the boys well?'

Caitlyn took it this time, 'We're good friends with Connect 3, we met at Camp Rock and the friendship kept on, so, yeah.'

'Fran Haley - Mitchie, when's your album coming out?'

'I've been writing some songs for my new album, which you'll hear at the concerts, and I hope for my album to be coming out soon. There's not a set date, but I'm going to record whilst on tour, so I'm hoping to release it soon after.'

'Helen Duguay - Can we expect anything particularly special from this concert?'

'There's definitely gonna be some amazing stuff; new songs, stunts, tricks and things.'

'Nicola Strakweather - Mitchie, will you ever go into acting as well as singing?'

'Gee, I've never really thought about it … I guess, if I got the chance, I'd definitely do it!'

'Nick Juarez - What are you girls looking forward to most?''

Caitlyn answered this time, feeling slightly left out, 'Writing the songs and making the album - I can just tell they're gonna be great, 'cause we've got so much support.'

Christy stepped back up to the microphone, 'I'm sorry guys, but that's all we've got time for. Thanks for coming and we hope to see you all at the concert later.' She said, ushering the girls off the stage and back to the bus. 'We're staying at the Radisson Hotel Decapolis Miraflores, its only about ten minutes away.'

The girls nodded and went to pack some stuff up to take to the hotel.

'Wow.' Mitchie said, looking around her room. It was a simple room; bed, desk, wardrobe, but the view was just, wow.

'Like it then?' Caitlyn said, walking in.

'It's amazing!'

'Yeah, well, come on, we've got to get to the sound check.'

'Mitchie, we need your final song list for tonight.' Christy said, walking over to Mitchie who was watching telly in the backroom.

'Okay, it was five, right?'

'Yeah.'

'Ummm, can you ask Cait to come here so I can check some stuff?'

'Sure.'

'Mitch, which songs are we doing?'

'I definitely want to do Curious, Trainwreck and Party, but I can't pick the others.'

'Okay, well… how about I'm Still Breathing and Angel?'

'I dunno… I wan't to do Still Breathing, that's a good idea, but I still want to edit Angel a bit…'

'How about a cover?'

'Yeah… what shall I cover?'

'I dunno, check your myPod.'

Mitchie grabbed her myPod and scrolled through the list and stopped on a song. 'Daughters! I'll do Daughters! Everyone loves Mayer!'

'Great!'

'Thanks Cait. I've gotta go tell Christy.' She said, giving Caitlyn a quick hug before running off.

'Guys, on stage in twenty.' Brown said, poking his head into the dressing room.

'Okay Brown, we'll just finish this interview and come right out.' Nate replied. 'Taylor, sorry, but we've got to wrap this up quickly.'

'Okay.' Taylor Santiago smiled seductively at the boys. 'I've only got a couple more questions. Guys, how friendly are you with the girls exactly?'

'There's nothing going on between us.' Nate laughed, 'It's just silly rumours. We're great friends with them.'

'Okay, if you say so. Have you been helping Mitchie with her music?'

'Well, so far, not really, just giving the odd lyric. But if she ever needs any help writing it, we'd be happy too.' Nate answered again.

'And I'm teaching Mitchie how to be better at guitar.' Jason smiled proudly. Taylor gave a sweet laugh.

'So your about to release a new album, Part Of Me, how is this album different to your other ones?'

'The music is a lot more real. Less pop-ish, it was one of the deals we made with our Record Label when we came back from summer. If they let us play the music that we loved, we would promote things.' Shane explained.

'We're hoping that the fans will embrace our new style.' Nate commented.

'What do you do in your down time?'

'Mainly just hang out and relax. Sport, a lot of the time.' Shane said.

'Who were your biggest influences, lyrically and musically, especially on the new record?'

'Switchfoot, The Cab, Plain White Ts, people with deep meaning to there lyrics.'

'What's it like having your Uncle as your manager?'

'Brown's really cool, so half the time we forget we're even related to him! But it's really nice to have him around, 'cause he knows all our problems and he's always there if we need him.' Nate smiled fondly, 'Taylor, sorry, but we've really got to go now.'

'It's fine. Good luck! I'll be watching from the first row.' She laughed.

'Enjoy the show.' Jason said.

'Mitchie Torres and Caitlyn Geller everyone!' Nate called, as the crowd cheered and Mitchie blushed and waved, before leaving the stage. Behind him, the music to one of their new songs, Secret Valentine started playing as he greeted the crowd.

Mitchie grabbed a bottle of water and sat down to watch the boys from the camera's feeding to backstage. Caitlyn had gone outside to watch the boys from backstage. Then Taylor appeared in the doorway.

'Hi, Mitchie.' She said.

'Hey, you're Taylor Santiago aren't you?'

'Yeah, hey, I was just wondering if I could talk to you?'

'Sure.'

Taylor went and sat on the armchair opposite Mitchie, 'Thing is, Mitchie, I can tell there's something going on with you and Shane.'

'What do you mean?'

'I mean, it's kind of obvious. You never talk about each other, answer questions about each other, and you haven't even said two words to each other in public.'

'What?'

'Come on Mitchie, I can tell almost all of the songs you sung up there were about Shane. You can tell me.' Taylor said slyly.

'I don't know what you mean.'

'You won't be able to hide it for very long, Mitchie. I'm not the only one who knows.'

'I, I have to go.' Mitchie stuttered, walking out of the room, passing Caitlyn, who went to take Mitchie's place on the sofa.

'Hey Caitlyn.'

'Hi Taylor.' Caitlyn smiled.

'I loved your music out there!'

'Thanks.'

'Well, I was just wondering, is Mitchie okay? She seemed a little down when she was watching the boys perform.'

'She's okay.'

'Really? 'Cause she didn't look okay.'

'Yeah, she's just trying to get over some things and move on. But she's finding it hard, 'cause she keeps being reminded. She'll be fine soon.'

'Okay.' Taylor said, smiling and reaching into her pocket and turning the voice recorder in her pocket off.

Mitchie Torres heartbreak over Shane Grey?

A reliable source told our reporter, Taylor Santiago, that Mitchie is 'just trying to get over things and move on'. Mitchie has obviously been avoiding any contact with the Bad-Boy Shane,

and despite claims that the group are 'good friends', Shane and Mitchie never talk about a relationship between the two. Turn to Page 3 for an exclusive interview with Connect 3.

'What the hell do they think they're talking about? 'Just trying to get over things'? And who the heck is their reliable source?!' Mitchie scoffed, throwing the newspaper report on the floor.

'I know…' Caitlyn said quietly.

'God! How did they even find out about us?! We've done nothing?! Ugh! That Taylor! I'll kill her!'

Meanwhile, in the Connect 3 hotel suite…

'WHAT are they TALKING about?! Getting over things?! There was never anything there?! And who's this reliable source? When I find them, I'll kill them! And I'll kill that Taylor too!' Shane screamed...
