Mitchie's POV
"I'm sorry, forgive me," I apologize to Achilles.
"There is nothing to forgive. I had to wait over millennia to be reunited with my wife." I turn to the stunningly beautiful woman beside him.
"Hello, I'm Briseis."
"Michelle Estel Torres Gray, but call me Mitchie."
"What a lovely name; your middle name means star and hope, am I correct?"
"Correct," I smile.
"Well, it certainly fits." I just smile in reply.
"Mitchie, according to Shane and Caitlyn, you have an amazing voice. Will you sing something for us," Achilles asks.
"It would be my delight," I say happily.
What do I sing, I wonder. Catch Me is easy and Nate, Jordan, Caitlyn, and Shane are here. Trainwreck, Here We Go Again, This is Me, Wouldn't Change a Thing, or Me, Myself, and Time could also be pulled off, I think to myself as five other vampires come into view. One is beautiful blond who's certain charm, I recognize.
"Tess," I shriek running up to her, along with Caitlyn.
"Jason," Sierra screams, as I embrace Tess before Jordan does. Then, I quickly embrace Jason.
"Birdman," I whisper softly, as I embrace him.
"Lady, Evenstar."
One of the other vampires looks vaguely like Adara's brother. The other male vampire, who has dark curly hair, is striding towards Arthur. Tristan and Gwendolyn immediately take defensive positions by Arthur and Guinevere, as the female comes forward as well. Nate, Jordan, Sierra, and I begin to move towards Arthur and I let out a low growl.
"Easy, Mitch," Shane murmurs and I let out a hiss.
"Easy, there Mitchie why would I want to harm Artorius Castus," the male says, as I narrow my eyes.
"You certainly, have been busy Arthur. Everywhere, I go I hear the tales of Arthur and his knights."
"What have you heard," Nate snaps, while I let out another hiss. Sierra is standing still, and occasionally lets out a soft growl.
"'Fairy tales. The kind you hear about people so brave, so selfless, that they can't be real.' I knew it would happen though. I knew we would live forever. 'And as for the knights who gave their lives, their deaths were cause for neither mourning nor sadness. For they will live forever, their names and deeds handed down from father to son, mother to daughter, in the legends of King Arthur and his knights'."
"Lancelot?"
"Honestly, it's like the glory and fame of being a legend went all to your head, if you can't recognize your best friend," Lancelot smirks.
"I thought you were dead! I held your body in my arms! I burned you!"
"Or so you thought my brother. Apparently while lying in the morgue I was bitten by a Roman vampire; and here I am"
"Alianne?"
"For a legendary queen, you aren't very smart Guinevere."
Alianne and Lancelot are quickly hugged and greeted by Arthur, Tristan, Guinevere, and Gwendolyn. Then another vampire with gorgeous brown hair, similar to Briseis comes forward.
"Are you Mitchie Torres Gray," she asks me.
"Yes," I smile back.
"I'm Bella Swan and according to Shane and Caitlyn, you have a spectacular voice. Do you do any duets?"
"Yes."
"Shane told about This Is Me, Make a Wave, and We Got the Party."
"He didn't tell you about Before the Storm, On the Line, Wouldn't Change a Thing, I'm Already There and You're My Favorite Song."
"Asshole," Caitlyn mutters.
"What are Before the Storm, Wouldn't Change a Thing, and I'm Already There about?"
"Before the Storm was written during a really rough patch, when Shane and I thought we completely over and Wouldn't Change a Thing is about our differences, but we wouldn't change a thing. "Already There" is old country song by Lonestar, which says I am always with the ones I love, in just simplest thing. Jordan and I remixed it into a duet."
"Will you please, sing, "I'm Already There?"
"Sure, but I'll need some help. Guin, I know you play the violin."
"So do, I," Alianne smiles.
"Piano," Gwendolyn and Briseis call out.
"Drums," Lancelot, Achilles, Tristan, and Adara yell.
"Guitar," Adrian and Arthur call out.
I groan, knowing I have no way of keeping track of all this. Suddenly, Sierra is at my side with a computer, it is open to show a spreadsheet. I smile gratefully at her.
"Okay, who can play multiple instruments," Jason asks, coming up along side me.
Everyone raises his or her hand.
"Guitar, strings, piano, and drums," Caitlyn asks.
Adara, Tristan, Alianne, Lancelot, and Lancelot, all nod.
"Guitar, Piano, and Strings," Sierra calls out.
Briseis and Guinevere both nod.
"Guitar, Drums, and strings," Nate calls out.
Achilles, Adrian, and Arthur raise their hands.
"Guitar, and Piano," Shane calls out.
Alice smiles, at us.
"Any other combinations," I call out.
Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie, and Gwendolyn all nod.
"Nate, it's your call."
"Alianne, Adara, and I on violin. Caitlyn is the on piano and. Jasper on the electric guitar. Jason and I, will do the acoustic. Gwendolyn will do the bass. Tristan will be on the drums. Shane and Mitchie, have the vocals, with Caitlyn, Jason, and I on back up vocals. Cait, give these rookies the music plus Wouldn't Change a Thing, Turn Right, Lovebug, Catch Me, Gift of a Friend, Hello Beautiful, and Love is on its Way. Mitch, are there any other songs?"
"Two Worlds Collide and Lo Que Soy." (This is Me)
Caitlyn smiles, widely and kisses Nate on the cheek.
"Hey, Jordan can you grab my violin and the keyboard," Nate asks.
"Esme, would you be able to set up a small platform or stage," I ask.
"Of course, Mitchie."
"Achilles, Adrian, Lancelot, go and help Esme," Briseis says.
"I'll grab the guitars," Gwendolyn says.
"Ladies, your violins," Jason says, hand them over. I didn't notice he had left. Jordan is back and before I know it, the stage is set up.
Esme notices the keyboard and shakes her head, and brings out a grand piano. Emmett has an excellent drum set, and I notice my guitars as well. The keyboards are still there and someone has grabbed Caitlyn's laptop. I smile, widely. Connect 3, Mitchie Torres, and the Camp Rockerz are back.
Rosalie helps hand out the music, which Sierra has all printed out.
"Ladies, we need to get you changed," Alice says and we follow her, while the guys set up the stage and change.
"Adara, here's a black leather cropped blazer, and black jeans, and black heels. Alianne, here is a lovely black dress with grey on the cuffs, and collar plus black heels. Caitlyn, here is a grey blazer and black booties for the performance. I have converse for later on. Gwendolyn, here is a black necklace. Mitchie, I need you in color. Red, would look lovely on you, but it would stand out too much. Rose, get me the maroon belt, and necklace. Get rid of the gloves. Bella, here's a white blazer and white pants, Edward will love you no matter what. Nessie, you look fine, but here is brown leather jacket and boots; Edward will love you and these are just a gift from your aunt."
Adara's POV
My brother's mouth drops open when he sees Alianne. Lancelot, growls while I smirk. Shane, groans, "Adrian, please."
"Nate, I really did not need to see that."
"Shit! Is it possible for vampires to get headaches," he groans. I grin at Nate, and Adrian, and just laugh at Lancelot.
Edward's POV
Shit! Damn it! To hell with it! Is it possible for vampires to get headaches?
Adara's POV
"Who is he and why the hell is looking at me," I mutter as, a blond, dangerous, looking vampire looks at me with a smirk.
"Adara that's Tristan," Lancelot says.
I glare at Tristan. He might be a knight and known for is grace and prowess on the battlefield, but has he fought, a lady knight?
I am Adara, daughter of Achilles. He is Tristan, a legendary knight and extremely good looking. By Hera, I want him! I say silently as I walk over to him, with Gwendolyn.
"Hello, Tristan. I am Adara Athene."
"Lady Adara, I am pleased to meet you. If you're as good as your father, I look forward to sparring with you. Do you need a hand getting to your place?"
"I do, why thank you, Sir Tristan. I am just as good as my father and I look forward to a sparring match with you; I'm pretty sure I can keep up with you." Tristan looks briefly shocked and holds out his arm; I just smirk.
Lancelot's POV, Arthur's POV, Guinevere's POV
Tristan, I think you've found your match.
Mitchie's POV
"Mitch," I hear Shane groan.
"You like. Then shut your mouth and we'll see what happens later…"
I head to the stage, and murmur a quick good luck to Bella and Nessie.
"We got this, Mitch," Cait says hugging me.
"Rock it, Mitch," Nate and Jason say.
"Just like final jam, Mitch," Shane says and I nod. He kisses my cheek and I take a deep breath.
"See you, out there," I whisper.
I move to my place, sitting on top of the piano. I haven't done this in so long, and it feels wonderful, back on stage with family and friends. Caitlyn starts followed by the violins. The guitars will come in on my verse. I start to sing and let Nessie hold my hand, she's scared. Shane hands Bella over to Achilles, as he starts on his part of the verse. Bella looks directly at bronze-haired vampire, who stares at her.
"Bella," he mouths.
Edward, she nods and they reunite, hugging and kissing.
"Daddy," Nessie smiles, and I smile with her letting the music carry me.
Edward is whispering "Bella" and holding her tightly. The Nessie runs off stage and joins them. Edward is surprised, but holds Nessie close and his smile is blinding. I sing the final chorus wrapped in Shane's arms, letting the music flow between us. This is how it should be.
(Mitchie, Shane, Both)
He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I love you one more time
But when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
A little voice came on the phone
Said "Daddy when you coming home"
He said the first thing that came to his mind
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there
She got back on the phone
Said
I really miss you darlin'
Don't worry about the kids they'll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes
I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there 'till the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are
I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there 'till the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh I'm already there
Oh I'm already
There
"I'm Mitchie Torres and that was "I'm Already There", with Connect 3."
"I'm Shane Grey, and our talented violinists are: Adara Achaean, Alianne Du Lac, and Nate Reaven."
"I am Nate Reaven and guitar we have; Jason Zeph, Gwendolyn Hawkes, and Jasper Hale."
"I'm Jason Zeph and on the piano we have Miss Caitlyn Reaven."
"I'm Caitlyn Reaven and on the drums we have Tristan Hawkes. So please, give a hand for Mitchie and Shane Gray," she yells.
"Give it up for Connect 3," Adara yells.
I laugh as all the girls go crazy and I join my voice with theirs.
They start chanting my name and Connect 3.
"I'll do another," I say smiling.
"I will need Tess, Sierra, Adara, Alianne, Gwendolyn, Bella, and Nessie."
"Cait, give them the music for Brand New Day. Tess, teach them the chant. Sierra, tell them Brand New Day, tell Shane to play guitar, and Nate on keyboards or vice versa. Pull in Jordan, if they want. I'll need vocals from Shane, Nate, Jason, and all you ladies."
I wait as everyone gets settled, Nate is on drums, Shane on keyboards, and Jordan on guitar. I look at Cait, and she nods, along with Tess.
"Hey, you know Connect 3 and JD," Cait starts.
"Yeah, so," Alianne and Nessie fire back.
"We'll so do we," Tess snaps.
"Really, how much better," Adara says with a royal miff.
"A hell of a lot, better. We know stuff, that no else knows," Sierra says.
"How," Bella, and Gwendolyn ask.
"We're their angels," I say with a smile.
"Well Caitlyn's more she-devil," Shane mutters.
Caitlyn slaps him, while I glare.
"Cait, it's Shane" Nate says.
"I'm Caitlyn."
"I'm Sierra."
"I'm Mitchie and we're Connect 3's Angels."
"I'm Tess and I'm JD's."
"So give up for Connect 3's Angels and JD's," Shane yells.
Adara's POV
Mitchie starts Brand New Day with just the acoustic guitar and her voice, then Nate and the rest of the band comes in. We start dancing; Alianne, Gwendolyn, Nessie, Caitlyn, and I dance and sing. While, Bella, Sierra, and Tess just sing. The song is very upbeat and fun.
"Mitch, do Me, Myself, and Time next. I'll switch to keyboards, put Jason and Shane on guitar. I'll do backing with the guys and Adara," Caitlyn says.
"Ok."
"All right, can you handle Mitchie Torres," Shane asks the crowd.
Mitchie starts in on the piano for the first verse. I can see the ease of these musicians. Caitlyn, and Connect 3, easily handle the light backing vocals. Mitchie works the crowd with ease, as she rocks out. She connects with us and I can tell she is really enjoying herself. I have fun with the vocals, but I spend most of the time watching Tristan, discreetly.
"Well, since you guys can handle me. Can you handle Connect 3 as they turn up the heat?"
Jordan quickly takes the drums while Caitlyn takes the keyboards and hooks up her laptop, Mitchie is on guitar.
Mitchie lets loose, rocking out on the guitar and Nate and Jason are just awesome. I can see why Connect 3 was so popular. The boys have a charisma and you can tell they love what they do. Jordan raps, and I laugh but it adds so much. Burnin' Up is certainly a fun song.
"They enjoyed Burnin'Up, Cait. Wonder how they'll handle Tonight," Nate asks Caitlyn.
Tonight is a fun up beat and wild song. They continue with Fly with Me, Paranoid, When You Look Me In The Eyes, and Hello Beautiful. By Apollo, they are talented.
Alianne's POV
I notice Adara, creeping closer to Tristan. She manages to do this subtly throughout Tonight, Fly with Me, and Burnin' Up. She gets close enough that when she sways, she can almost touch him, then he backs away, with a small grin. Tristan and Adara, are interesting match.
"Do you see Adara, "Adrian asks.
I nod.
" I wonder how she got so close, with out him noticing."
"He noticed," Gwen says, " He's playing her game, but at the same time he's playing a game of his own, he's challenging her. I heard their conversation earlier, and I think we're in for a ride. Achilles likes Tristan, so that isn't a factor, thank the gods".
"Just my luck," Adrian groans. I slap him.
"Deal with it," I mutter softly, enjoying the music and the game of Tristan and Adara.
